Another day passed before Jiang Mianmian received a reply from the Zhou family indicating their agreement. This made her feel relieved. She asked Nanny Li to prepare large and small bags of medicinal herbs and some supplements.
She was afraid that there might be something she had missed, so she checked it again herself before she felt relieved. After all, she couldn't cause any more trouble by going out to apologize.
Then, she called her eldest daughter-in-law Li Tingxue, and they got on the carriage together to visit the patient. The wheels rolled forward and slowly drove towards the Zhou family.
Speaking of Zhou Jingyao in the General's Mansion, she was actually fine long ago. She only had a few minor scratches on her hands and arms.
But her father and mother were still overly worried about her and forced her to stay under house arrest in their own yard, not even allowing her to step out of the gate of the general's mansion.
At this time, poor Zhou Jingyao had no choice but to sit in the room bored, staring at the sky outside the window, wondering how to go out?
When Jiang Mianmian and Li Tingxue arrived at Zhou's house, Mrs. Zhou hurried out to greet them after hearing the news.
Although she was a little surprised by the actions of the Xuanhua Marquis Mansion, she still maintained due courtesy and politely welcomed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the mansion.
After the two sides met, they first greeted each other and exchanged a few polite words.
Looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou thought about the past two days. When she and the general suddenly received a visiting card from the wife of the Marquis of Xuanhua, they were really surprised.
They could never have imagined that Shen Xiujin got into trouble, and his nominal mother Jiang Mianmian, the Marquis' wife, would actually post the notice herself.
He said he came to apologize on behalf of his careless son and to visit the injured Jingyao.
This unexpected behavior made her and the general secretly wonder if there was something else going on!
Just now, Mrs. Zhou was really surprised again. She didn't expect that not only would Jiang Mianmian come in person today, but even her eldest daughter-in-law from a concubine would come with her.
The fact that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to their general's mansion at the same time really confused her. Also, what was the situation between these two people?
Looking at the harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it seems that it is not like what other ladies have said in the gossip, about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not getting along!
Although Mrs. Zhou was a little surprised, she still smiled. After all, she was a worldly-wise person who had seen many situations. No matter how surprised she was in her heart, her expression would not easily reveal any emotion.
Besides, as the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person."
What's more, there is no deep hatred between their two families. Even if she has some doubts in her heart at the moment, she still has to treat her with courtesy on the surface.
Also, although the Xuanhua Marquis Mansion is deserted nowadays and the several sons in the mansion do not seem to be particularly outstanding, the hereditary title is still there and should not be underestimated.
And this Jiang Mianmian was even more extraordinary. She was a legitimate first-rank imperial consort! In the entire Dayuan Kingdom, there were only her and the old Princess Yangyang, two first-rank imperial consorts!
Even if you just met someone, you still have to bow politely to them according to etiquette.
This brings us to the fact that when Jiang Mianmian first married into the Shen family, her old father-in-law, the Marquis, had already passed away.
He personally dragged his frail body to see the emperor, and pleaded with tears in his eyes. He was not asking for anything for his own wife, but for his new daughter-in-law Jiang Mianmian, to obtain the honor of being a lady of imperial decree.
I heard that it was to make up for the debt owed by his good-for-nothing son, so that Jiang Mianmian, who had just entered the house, would not be too embarrassed or wronged.
The late emperor felt sorry for the old minister who had helped him build the kingdom, and had raised an unfilial son, causing him to be seriously ill. He also wanted to provide him with fatherly love, so he agreed to the old marquis' request!
If not for this, perhaps after Jiang Mianmian got married, facing a dissolute and unruly playboy like Shen Hanjiang, she would have been unable to bear the humiliation and ended her life with a white silk thread!
However, what if you say that their life is hard?
But looking at Jiang Mianmian in front of him, who is now radiant and energetic, he seems to be living a very fulfilling and comfortable life!
Otherwise, how could she have such a beautiful complexion?
Just as Mrs. Zhou was secretly looking up and down at Jiang Mianmian, she didn't know that the other party was also sitting upright, looking at Mrs. Zhou in front of her intently. Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment. She didn't know until she saw it, it was so scary.
“Ahem…”
Jiang Mianmian coughed suddenly. Oh my god! What was going on? She almost spit out the tea she had just drunk.
The reason is simple, it’s because there are some big golden words shining above Mrs. Zhou’s head, and the meaning contained in these words is so profound!
"Brother escapes and brother takes over, the tragic female supporting role of love that cannot be obtained"
At this moment, a narration suddenly appeared in my mind.
[Wow, wow, what kind of explosive situation is this? Love, whose love is this?]
[Ouch! Who escaped, and who replaced whom? Could it be... Madam Zhou... and her brother-in-law? That's not right. I don't think I've ever heard that Zhou Liang has a brother? What's going on?]
Li Tingxue's face was filled with confusion at first, but then her heart skipped a beat, and a thought involuntarily emerged in her mind:
Could it be that the mother-in-law has discovered some unknown secrets of the General's Mansion? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. If she knew something that should not be known, would they not be able to leave the General's Mansion today?!
