Chapter 113 She is unique
Jiang Rong walked into the hall, greeted his grandmother first, and then looked at Qiao:
"What happened to the eldest sister-in-law?"
"Yingying suddenly had a stomachache in the middle of the night yesterday... The female doctor came to see her and said she would use red blood jade ginseng. How could she have such a good thing in her yard? We do have it in the storehouse in our mansion. But the key to the treasure house is in your hands, Rong'er..."
"But she was afraid that she would disturb your rest by looking for you in the middle of the night... so she only used the common ginseng medicine in the hospital... It was really luck that she was able to save the baby... The female doctor said that she almost couldn't save the baby..."
Jiang Rong looked at Qiao and raised an eyebrow, "Grandmother has already said that if you need any medicine in the mansion, you can just come and get it. Why do you have to do this?"
"But...you and my second brother have already gone to bed, and I don't think it's good to disturb you..." Qiao looked aggrieved.
Jiang Rong is an expert at pretending to be weak. He knows all about Qiao's tricks and said calmly:
"Sister-in-law, you have to distinguish priorities. The prince and I being woken up in the middle of the night is just a small matter. But the baby in your belly is the most important thing!"
"It seems that sister-in-law still treats me and the prince as outsiders and treats us so strangely."
Qiao's face froze, "Sister, don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant..."
"Since my sister-in-law is embarrassed to trouble me, why not... I will hand over the internal accounts to Concubine Zhao. If you want anything in the future, you can go to Concubine Zhao to withdraw it..." Jiang Rong directly stated their plan.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it until midnight last night.
How to profit from your unborn child.
The mistress of the household mainly managed two books of accounts. One was the internal account, which was for the various expenses of the mansion, and the other was the external account, which was for the business of the shop.
Ever since Jiang Rong took over as the head of the household, the old concubine has handed over all the internal and external accounts to her.
Concubine Zhao had long wanted to snatch the power of the household from Jiang Rong, but she had never had the chance, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to use the child as an excuse to act out a drama together...
"Rong'er, you manage it very well." Old Concubine Xie disagreed.
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "Grandma, it's only temporary. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant, Rong'er is not as considerate as Concubine Zhao, so I'd better leave her to Concubine Zhao, so that my sister-in-law can rest assured and take care of the baby. When the baby is born in the future, Concubine Zhao will be busy playing with her grandchildren, so Rong'er can take over the miscellaneous work of accounting."
Old Concubine Xie nodded slightly, and was very happy with Jiang Rong. This girl has a long-term vision and does not fight for a short period of time. She has an open mind and is upright.
But Zhao was really short-sighted.
"This is not appropriate..." Concubine Zhao pretended to refuse.
Old Concubine Xie was too lazy to waste time talking to her and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it."
"But for the sake of Qiao's unborn child, I have no choice but to take on this responsibility. To be honest, it's all Qiao's fault. Her baby is born a little weak, and I'm afraid there will be too much trouble in the future. I'll take care of her..." Concubine Zhao quickly took over the conversation, her eyes fell on Jiang Rong, and she smiled:
"Rong girl has more important things to do. It's not good to worry so much about Qiao."
Concubine Li made a timely comment: "What's the important matter?"
"Of course I hope you and the prince have a baby soon!" Concubine Zhao smiled proudly.
…
Come out from Songhe Hall.
Feicui felt sorry for Jiang Rong, "This concubine Zhao is really taking advantage of you! She took advantage of Qiao's pregnancy to divide your power, and she also used the child to bully you everywhere."
"If I don't want her to, she can't separate." Jiang Rong was happy to see this happen.
As far as she could remember, Qiao was in poor health in her previous life and was unable to keep the baby.
At that time, Jiang Rong had never managed a business, so he was only in charge of the internal accounts.
The external accounts are still in the hands of Concubine Zhao.
Jiang Rong treated Qiao very well, giving her everything she wanted and protecting her during her pregnancy. But when Qiao later had a miscarriage, she cried and blamed her for not giving her the right herbs...
This resulted in the medicine being weak and the child could not be saved.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Concubine Xie thought that Jiang Rong was not to blame for this matter, she would have been kicked out of the Northern Palace long ago for murdering the bloodline of the royal palace.
Even if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't make such a fuss, Jiang Rong would have taken the initiative to tell Concubine Zhao about the inside story.
She didn't have time to worry about Qiao's pregnancy.
Now she only cares about one thing, to deal with Prince Duan as soon as possible to prevent the Prince of Bei's Palace from being involved in the turmoil over the throne.
"Sister-in-law..." Xie Ruojiao came to Songhe Hall to greet her grandmother and bumped into Jiang Rong. She smiled and said:
"I received a letter today. It's about a lotus appreciation poetry and prose gathering organized by the head of the Hanlin Academy...Sister-in-law, are you interested? Shall we go together tomorrow?"
The head of the Hanlin Academy, a member of Prince Duan's party.
"No." Jiang Rong immediately understood that Prince Duan was making a move. He looked at Xie Ruojiao and said:
"I'm going to give Chi Moyan a farewell party tomorrow. Jiaojiao, are you free to go with me?"
Because the provincial examination is approaching.
Chi Moyan had to return to the capital of Jiangnan Province to take part in the provincial examination.
So I packed my luggage recently, entrusted my mother to Jiang Rong, and set off tomorrow.
"Okay!" Xie Ruojiao agreed immediately.
Anyway, being with my sister-in-law is more fun than going anywhere else.
…
Beppu Nanen.
"Young Master, today the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy sent a visiting card to the Second Miss... If Prince Duan is interested in pursuing the Second Miss, I'm sure all this was arranged by Prince Duan." Xiao Nanxing reported.
Xie Lingxi had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were cold and cruel, "Find a reason and don't let her go tomorrow."
"The Crown Prince's Consort has already stopped it." Xiao Nanxing hurriedly said, "You and the Crown Prince's Consort really have a tacit understanding. You can think of everything together."
Xie Lingxi's eyes flickered slightly, and his mood improved a little. He looked at Xiao Nanxing and ordered:
"Keep an eye on Prince Duan's party's every move. If they send an invitation next time, intercept it."
"Yes." Xiao Nanxing accepted the order.
Jingzhe walked in and reported: "Young Master, the Crown Prince's Consort is here."
The coldness on Xie Lingxi's face disappeared, "Let her in."
He also ordered:
"Bring in a few more ice jars."
It was the height of summer, and the weather was hot. Jiang Rong was delicate and very afraid of heat. But even though she was afraid of heat, she preferred to cling to him and hug him.
"Husband!" Jiang Rong took small, cheerful steps excitedly, and bumped into Xie Lingxi's arms like a gust of wind, with a smile on her face.
Xie Lingxi caught her skillfully.
Xiao Nanxing smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is so happy, but what's the good news?"
"I received the brocade my husband sent me, and I like it very much." Jiang Rong said with a smile. She added in her heart that my husband took the initiative to kiss me yesterday.
But this matter cannot be told to outsiders.
"As long as the Crown Princess likes it. There is only one piece of this woven cloud brocade, just like the Crown Princess is unique in the Crown Prince's heart." Xiao Nanxing flattered.
She is unique in her own heart.
Xie Lingxi felt inexplicably embarrassed to have his thoughts exposed, so he changed the subject:
"What's the matter?"
"I want to borrow a few secret guards from my husband to escort Chi Moyan back to Jiangnan. The Princess's Mansion might hold a grudge against me for the fight a few days ago. It's not easy for her to take action in the capital, but outside the capital... it's better to be prepared just in case." Jiang Rong went straight to the point.
She would tell Xie Lingxi whatever she was worried about.
