Jiang He has been investigating the enemy's spies.

Wen Xiuli was extremely comfortable living in the general's mansion.

Because of her grandmother's support, Wen Xiuli practically treated the General's Mansion as her own home.

Early in the morning, Wen Xiuli called out from Yunxiang Courtyard, "Cousin, are you up yet? Can you take me outside to have a look?"

Nightingale drew her sword expressionlessly and held it in front of Wen Xiuli's chest.

"Get out of my way! How dare you, a mere servant, block my path? Are you out of your mind?"

Wen Xiuli's personality is completely inconsistent with her name.

She put her hands on her hips and said, "You dare touch me!"

After saying that, he tried to force his way in.

The nightingale remained motionless, not even changing its gaze.

Seeing this, Wen Xiuli became even more arrogant, "I'm going in today, let's see who dares to stop me!"

As she spoke, she rushed forward, trying to push Nightingale away.

However, Nightingale was extremely agile and dodged Wen Xiuli's charge with a light dodge.

Wen Xiuli stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Take one more step, and don't blame me for being impolite," Nightingale's voice came coldly.

Wen Xiuli was startled; she then realized that the maid in front of her was not someone to be trifled with.

But she still refused to give up, glaring fiercely at the nightingale and saying, "You wait, I'm going to tell Grandmother right now and have her punish you!"

After saying that, Wen Xiuli turned and left angrily.

"Grandmother!" Wen Xiuli's voice came from afar before she even arrived, her voice trembling with tears.

To show her closeness to Madam Jiang, she never called her "great-aunt".

"Li-jie, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" Grandmother's eyes were full of concern.

“It was a maid from my cousin’s courtyard. How dare she disrespect me and push me! Grandmother, look, my hand is all scraped.”

Wen Xiuli rolled up her sleeves, revealing some red veins.

She had deliberately rubbed herself on the ground earlier, and her sleeves were covered in dust.

This distressed the grandmother greatly: "This is outrageous! How dare a servant bully you in the General's Mansion? Someone, go to Yunxiang Courtyard and tell her to come see me."

The "she" in this context refers to Jiang Chuwei.

The General's Mansion has a small population, with Jiang Chuwei being the only legitimate daughter among the grandchildren.

However, for some reason, her grandmother disliked Jiang Chuwei from a young age.

Soon, a servant returned and reported: "Madam, the maid said she was ordered by the eldest young lady that no one is allowed to enter without permission."

Upon hearing this, Grandmother's face turned even uglier. "Well, now she's not even giving me any face!"

Wen Xiuli added fuel to the fire, saying, "Grandmother, my cousin is becoming more and more outrageous. You must discipline her properly."

Grandmother pondered for a moment, then said, "Come, follow me to Yunxiang Courtyard. I want to see what she's up to!"

The group marched in a grand procession towards Yunxiang Courtyard. Jiang Chuwei was displeased upon hearing the news, but she could only quickly tidy herself up and go out to greet her grandmother.

This time, the nightingale kept them out of the yard as before.

"Get out of the way! Wasn't it you, you servant, who pushed Sister Li to the ground just now?"

Grandmother angrily raised her hand, and it looked like a slap was about to fall.

Jiang Chuwei said coldly, "Nightingale is the prince's woman, so Grandmother should not provoke her."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang immediately withdrew her hand.

The prince was not someone she had angered.

She knew that Jiang Zhongyong wouldn't stand up for him.

After her son became an idle person, Madam Jiang found an excuse to go and live with her cousin.

She's back now because Sister Li wants to marry into a prominent family in the capital.

In the past, Madam Jiang always brought Madam Wen to Beijing together.

However, Old Master Wen refused to allow it, and consequently, Wen Xiuli was also forbidden from coming to the capital.

Old Madam Jiang couldn't bear to part with them, so she moved to the Wen family's house to live with them.

Now that Old Master Wen is dead, there's no one in the family to stop them.

Madam Jiang immediately led her entourage to the capital.

Old Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Chuwei, thinking she would settle accounts with her later.

Upon entering the hall, Madam Jiang got straight to the point: "Li'er has come of age; it's time to find her a good husband."

Jiang Chuwei understood that her grandmother had returned this time for this very reason.

She didn't go to her mother because her mother would never pay any attention to Wen Xiuli.

Grandmother continued, "I think the eldest son of Prime Minister Li is quite good, and he and Sister Li are a good match."

Jiang Chuwei sneered inwardly. This young master Li was a notorious playboy with a large harem of wives and concubines.

Even so, Wen Xiuli was still out of reach.

She was about to retort when Wen Xiuli interrupted, "Thank you for your concern, Grandmother, but I already have someone I like."

Jiang Chuwei looked at Wen Xiuli's smug expression and knew that all of this was her plan.

"My sweetheart? Who is it? How come Grandmother doesn't know?"

Madam Jiang immediately said.

She absolutely had to oversee Li Jie'er's marriage.

We can't just agree to anything, no matter who it is.

"Grandmother!" Wen Xiuli said coquettishly, looking all shy and hesitant.

Jiang Chuwei felt like she was going to vomit.

Young Master Gu doesn't even know what she looks like, yet she thinks she can marry him?

"Tell me quickly, whose son is he?" The grandmother's curiosity was piqued.

She asked anxiously.

Wen Xiuli blushed and glanced at Jiang Chuwei: "He's a scholar. Doesn't your granddaughter even know which family's young master he is?"

“You can’t just say you want to marry someone you don’t even know who their son is. You can’t be so rash,” the grandmother immediately objected.
