Grandma Zhao was frightened for a moment, as if she had lost her soul.
Her hands and feet were shaking, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. She knelt on the ground and pulled at Tong's clothes, "Princess...Princess...she, she said Xiangling...will come back to find us, right...right behind me!"
At this moment, Grandma Zhao not only did not dare to look back, but even dragged her heavy body and moved forward little by little. If she was not afraid of death, she might have already crawled into Tong's skirt...
Tong had a splitting headache, and her beautiful eyebrows were wrinkled so tightly that they looked like they could pinch flies to death.
But she had seen more of the world than Grandma Zhao, so she pushed Grandma Zhao away, stood up with her hand on the table, and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Jiang, you are so bold that you dare to spread lies and confuse people in the Qinwang Mansion!"
Jiang Ying noticed with his sharp eyes that Tong had a headache, and he was afraid that it felt like a hammer was knocking in his head.
In such pain, no matter how fierce she was, she was just a paper tiger and could not handle it.
So Jiang Ying shrugged and said, "My Lady Princess, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
"Grandma Zhao, you are like this, maybe you are worrying too much, right?
"The princess, instead of pursuing her fault, blames me. How can this be justified?"
She looked at Tong, whose eyes were full of ferocity, and smiled with a fake smile, "Or, the princess actually knew about this matter? The reason why she took her anger out on me is to stop Grandma Zhao from continuing to reveal the truth, right?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Tong was so angry that she wanted to slam the table. She bent down and picked up Grandma Zhao from the ground.
Of course, Grandma Zhao was of great stature, and it was almost impossible to shake Tong's thin body!
Tong bit her lip and made up her mind. She held Grandma Zhao's head and turned it sharply, forcing her to look diagonally behind her. "Grandma Zhao, show me where the ghost is. It's obviously that village girl who scared you!"
"No...Princess...I dare not!" Grandma Zhao was extremely resistant at first.
But in the end, under Tong's harsh shouting, he forced himself to open his eyes.
Then, she really didn't see anything. She was grinning with joy when Jiang Ying said faintly, "Although they are ghosts, they are not stupid. Anyone can see them, but the enemy can't see them!"
Grandma Zhao, "..."
These words made her face turn pale and her lips tremble.
Tong knew very well that if she continued like this, it would not be her, the high and mighty princess, who was trying to intimidate Jiang Ying, but Jiang Ying who was making her lose face. Therefore, she said coldly, "Come here, Jiang is disrespectful to the princess. Suppress her and lock her up in the woodshed, waiting for the princess's punishment!"
After all, Jiang was Yan Zhuo's person. It was unrealistic to kill her, but it was simple to make her suffer.
Thinking of this, Tong felt extremely upset. If she had known earlier, she should have locked her up as soon as she arrived, so as to avoid causing so much trouble.
Forget about the rest. If the king finds out, I will have to explain and apologize.
Jiang Ying had expected that today would most likely be a banquet at Hongmen, but she didn't regret it at all. Instead of letting Tong's sarcastic remarks, she decided to just go for it. Anyway, no matter what, Tong wouldn't dare to kill her.
As for the others, as long as there is space, she is not afraid.
There's no need to hold it in and make yourself uncomfortable.
However, before Tong's people could get close to Jiang Ying's mother, the palace steward suddenly ran in in a panic.
"Princess, the prince is back! And... Old Madam Jiang is anxious to deliver a visiting card to the concierge!"
"He's coming after all!" Tong squeezed out a sentence from between her lips, her face full of displeasure.
This heir with big ideas of hers was a wolf cub that she had spent nearly a decade raising but had yet to tame. She really couldn't understand what was so good about Jiang that she deserved his love.
At the same time, Tong's worried face was surprised, "Old Madam Jiang? Our Qin Palace has never had much contact with the Jiang family. Why is she here?"
When Jiang Ying heard that Lian was coming, he hugged Li Yan's arm tightly uncontrollably.
This time, will it be...what she expected?
The housekeeper looked at Jiang Ying who was silent, and spoke secretly, "Princess, didn't the emperor grant our prince a marriage? That girl is the granddaughter of old lady Jiang. Maybe she came here because of the marriage."
Tong thought it made sense. As long as she was not here for Jiang, she would be happy.
The house was filled with distinguished guests, and Tong temporarily had no time to care about imprisoning Jiang Ying. She rubbed her temples and moved lightly with lotus steps.
"Since she is the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, then go and welcome her. By the way, let the Duke wait in the flower hall together. This is his future grandmother, the family of the legal wife, which is much more important than those little cats and dogs!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Ying smugly, as if he was stabbing her heart.
However, Jiang Ying was not impressed by this clumsy provocation. Instead, he curled his lips and muttered:
Who is the thing? You are the thing. Your whole family is nothing except you!
Tong left triumphantly with a group of people, leaving only two dead-looking mothers-in-law staring at Jiang Ying.
It doesn't matter what she does, she won't leave anyway.
Jiang Ying said nothing and began to stroll around the house with her son in her arms. She saw a lot of good things on the antique shelf and put them all into her living room while her mother-in-law was not paying attention.
He also quietly sprinkled a kind of medicinal powder on Tong's potted plants.
You can’t see anything now, but in a couple of days, ants and earthworms will grow there, filling the whole house. It would scare Mrs. Tong so much that she wouldn’t be able to eat for half a month!
A banquet at Hongmen? Control her?
It's good that she doesn't bully others!
The front hall of the palace.
When Yan Zhuo, who had sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, saw that only Tong came out, his face did not look very good, and he had the urge to get up and rush to the backyard to find Jiang Ying.
It's not that he loves Jiang Ying so much, but he knows Tong too well. She is cunning and ambitious. At present, his father has no legitimate grandchildren. Jiang Shan has messed up her health over the years. The imperial physician said that it is difficult for her to have an heir. She must have bad intentions towards her son.
Although Jiang has become more and more sharp-tongued and unwilling to suffer a loss recently, that is outside. If she were to face Tong, she would probably have no chance of winning at all and would be killed in the blink of an eye without even knowing it.
It doesn't matter if she dies, his son is still without a mother!
Besides, he was actually surprised when he heard this part. Although this country girl may not be good at other things, she is still good at taking care of children.
Without her, it would be hard to find another mother who is devoted to her children.
There was not even half a cup of tea. Yan Zhuo couldn't sit down any longer. He was about to stand up and say goodbye, but Madam Jiang gulped down the tea and put it down neatly. "I don't want to hide from Princess Qin that I suddenly visited you today because I heard that Miss Jiang came to your place."
Tong's face froze, she didn't quite understand.
"What ginger girl?"
Is there any maid named Jiang in your house?
I'm so lucky to be valued by Old Madam Jiang. I'll make good use of it in the future.
Tong thought in a trance, and Madam Jiang was extremely anxious. She stood up and said, "My Lady Princess, please don't act stupid in front of me. I'm talking about Jiang Ying, the beautiful, pure and lovely girl with a child!"
"She treated me before, and the medicine cured my illness and saved me from early death. You suddenly came to her. Is it because you are not feeling well?"
Apart from this, the old lady couldn't think of any reason for Jiang Ying to enter the Qinwang Mansion.
Of course, she had no intention of disparaging Jiang Ying at all. On the contrary, she felt sorry for him from the bottom of her heart.
I thought I wouldn't do that in the future.
As long as Miss Jiang returns to the Duke's Mansion to recognize her ancestors, she will be the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Not to mention Prince Qin's Mansion, even the Imperial Palace will not be a difficult task for her.
Tong's happy expression was frozen on her face. She opened her lips slightly and uttered a word, "Jiang... Jiang Ying?"
My heart was suddenly filled with waves. What was going on? Why did the old lady of the Duke's Mansion seem to be very familiar with Jiang?
One is the grandmother of Yan Zhuo's wife, and the other is Yan Zhuo's concubine. No matter how you look at it, this relationship shouldn't be that of friends!
Lian didn't notice the strangeness in Tong's expression. She looked at the door anxiously, "Are you coming? Princess, I have something important to discuss with her. Please let her know as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Yan Zhuo sat back down silently.
Her eyes flickered several times, and she felt amused in her heart. It seemed that even if she didn't come today, she wouldn't suffer any loss?
