Jiang Zhaorong snatched the imperial edict from her hand and held it as if it were a treasure.
"You have to take it this way. If anyone accuses your father of disrespecting His Majesty, even if I had ten heads, they wouldn't be enough to chop off!"
Jiang Zhiyu rolled his eyes, mumbling in response, and scoffed in his heart:
"That's perfect. We don't even need to get a divorce. I can secretly save your life and find my mother a 6'8" handsome hunk with abs. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
[You can also satisfy your inner desire for three wives and four concubines! Everyone is happy!]
Jiang Zhaorong was furious after hearing these words, but Xu Youran felt very warm.
So what if she doesn’t have a husband? Her daughter will always be her little cotton-padded jacket!
Now that I think about it, it was really stupid that I gave up the power of housekeeper and ignored everything just because of my husband's indifference and my mother-in-law's difficulties!
If I had it firmly in my hands, how could my sons and daughters be subjected to such humiliation?!
If I hadn't heard Zhiyu's inner voice reminding me, and if things had continued to develop step by step as they were, and Kang An had really lost his life, then I...
Xu Youran didn't dare to think about it any further.
Fortunately, things did not develop into that situation.
Xu Youran looked at Jiang Zhiyu and smiled.
The young fish is indeed a blessing given to her by God.
As the family entered the mansion, Jiang Sulan kept her ears perked up all the way, expecting Zhiyu to reveal some news from her heart, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't say a word.
What's going on? Isn't the news of the Fourth Prince being caught cheating worthy of her commenting in her heart?
Could it be that she had encountered something even bigger in the palace?!
Jiang Sulan became even more anxious. She kept sticking to Jiang Zhiyu as she walked, looking at her eagerly.
Jiang Zhiyu: "...Sister, do you want to read the storybook again?"
[She's already finished reading the storybook I gave her yesterday? It's 500,000 words! She's truly talented, even reading this at a glance?!]
Jiang Sulan: "...No, I just heard that something big happened in the palace. Does Zhiyu know?"
"Huh? News spread so quickly in ancient times? In just a short while, the Fourth Prince hasn't even finished getting beaten, and the news has already reached the Prime Minister's residence?"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded blankly.
Jiang Sulan's eyes lit up, and she whispered to her, "I heard that the Fourth Prince was having an affair with a palace maid, and was caught by the Emperor?"
"Yes, that's right. When they were dragged out, both of them were naked, and the marks on their bodies were even more disgusting."
Jiang Sulan: "How can I put it? That palace maid is pretty, and the Fourth Prince is brave?!"
Jiang Zhiyu said with disdain: "The palace maids are not bad, but the Fourth Prince...tsk tsk."
She lowered her voice and gestured with her thumb and index finger: "It's this long, and still thin!"
Jiang Sulan let out a cry of surprise, and eating the melon suddenly became boring.
Although the two sisters lowered their voices, Xu Youran and Jiang Zhaorong who were walking in front could still hear it, and they were immediately very upset.
Is this something that two unmarried girls should discuss?
Jiang Zhaorong's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, and he subconsciously touched the imperial edict in his hand.
He even forgot to ask what was written in the imperial edict.
He asked, but Jiang Zhiyu waved his hand and said, "I just want a shop next to Zuiyuelong."
Jiang Zhaorong thought for a moment and said, "Aren't there shops selling silk and satin over there? What do you want them for?"
Jiang Zhiyu: "Open a clinic."
Kidney deficiency, sometimes caused by overwork, can lead to lower back and leg pain, a lack of energy, and a feeling of being drained. Want to replenish your overdrawn kidneys? Come to Yuyu Brand Clinic, specializing in kidney deficiency treatment. Hello, everyone here is fine!
[I have a ready-made advertising slogan, worthy of being me! ]
Jiang Zhaorong: “…”
After walking a few steps, Tao Hong ran over breathlessly: "Prime Minister, the old lady wants you to come over."
"Got it. I'll be there in a minute."
Ever since he gave the account book and the list to Xu Youran that day, Xu Youran had returned to her indifferent state towards him. Now that he finally had this opportunity again, Jiang Zhaorong naturally wanted to chat with her more and be affectionate with her.
Taohong, however, had no intention of leaving and stood there with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Why don't you leave?" Jiang Zhaorong frowned.
"Madam, please come over now." Taohong shrank and said in a low voice.
Jiang Zhaorong sighed, and Taohong continued, "The old lady also said that she wanted the third young lady to come with her. She hasn't seen her for a few days and really misses her."
Jiang Zhiyu, who was named, looked confused.
[She missed me? This is really like an old lady crawling into bed—it made me laugh.]
"Puchi——" Several suppressed laughs were heard at the same time.
Jiang Zhaorong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "Since grandma misses you, just go over and sit with her. It won't be too late to show up before leaving."
Jiang Sulan looked at him in surprise.
What's going on? That's not what you said before!
Jiang Sulan still remembered that she and Bai Jian forgot to pay their respects to their grandmother in the morning, and when they came back, they were scolded by their father, who said they were unfilial.
Why is it my younger sister's turn now, and she is personally teaching me how to be perfunctory?
So biased!
…
In Shouxi Hall, the old lady leaned on the soft couch, two maids massaged her legs, and Song Shiwei sat below her, fiddling with incense with a smile on her face.
"The emperor actually summoned that girl?"
"Yes, grandmother, I guess the news that Zhiyu wanted to treat Young Master He's leg reached His Majesty's ears. You know that His Majesty values Young Master He very much, and this leg injury has always been a concern for His Majesty. Now that there is someone who can treat him, he naturally wants to meet him."
Song Shiwei covered the incense burner and chuckled.
The old lady snorted softly, "What could possibly go on in the mansion that I could not hide? That girl has learned nothing since she was little, let alone medical skills. Her talk of curing her legs is nothing more than my son's attempt to get her into a wealthy family!"
Song Shi smiled but didn't respond.
The old lady continued, "I don't know what fooled me back then! I actually believed their lies and let them take me, Jianjin, to the Dali Temple and send Heng away!"
Song Shiwei widened his eyes and said in astonishment, "There is such a thing? No wonder I haven't seen Second Master and Brother Heng in the past few days."
The old lady looked at her suspiciously: "You don't know?"
The maid beside her reminded her, and the old lady suddenly realized: "Yes, you were not at home that day."
Song Shiwei lowered his eyebrows and brought the topic back: "I don't know what Sister Zhiyu said when she saw His Majesty. If His Majesty found out that she doesn't know any medical skills, wouldn't that be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death!
The old lady's face darkened and she waited for someone to come and question her.
After a while, Taohong lifted the curtain and Jiang Zhiyu followed behind Jiang Zhaorong.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyu saw Song Shiwei with a smile on her face, she immediately understood.
[No wonder the old lady is acting like a demon today. It turns out the culprit is here!]
