Jiang Ying was too lazy to even look at Jiang Yuanlang's reluctant expression.
In fact, there was no need for her to be angry. The old man just stood up and poured a bowl of tea on Jiang Yuanlang's face, "You evil creature! How dare you bully your own sister like this?
"Is this what your parents taught you all these years at the border? You are disloyal and don't know the difference between good and bad!
"Not to mention that Yingying is the legitimate bloodline of our Jiang family, even if she is not, she is still your grandmother's savior!
"I think you have learned all the principles of propriety, righteousness, honesty, filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and trustworthiness!"
The old man was extremely angry, and cursed a bunch of people at once, his face turned pale and blue, then he shook his head apologetically to the great grandfather, "It is really unfortunate for our family to raise such a thing that does not know the importance of things, and makes the grandfather laugh at it."
The tea had been in the old man's hands for some time, but the temperature was not hot.
But it suddenly poured over his head and face, with the wet tea leaves stained on Jiang Yuanlang's face, making it impossible to open his eyes, and his hair was also affected, dripping with wet water.
Jiang Yuanlang's back froze and he stood there in a daze. He never expected that the usually kind old lady would suddenly do this!
Ah... I'm crazy! I must have been drugged by that wild girl!
But even if Jiang Yuanlang was furious, he couldn't do anything because the one who did it was the old lady, his grandmother, the top-ranking official who had the final say in the Duke's Mansion.
Jiang Yuanlang hesitated for a long time, but could only lower his head dejectedly and wipe his face silently.
She reluctantly wiped the tea leaves off his handsome face, and the tea flowed into his mouth from the corners of his mouth. She didn't even dare to spit.
Grandfather Taizu shook his head and said, "Don't blame yourself, my niece's wife. There are people like her in every family. Beat her more, scold her more, and she will eventually get better."
Jiang Yuanlang: You old man, thank you!
The old man didn't even look at Jiang Yuanlang again. He knew his clothes were soaked by the tea, so he deliberately went to change without saying anything.
Just let her get wet and learn a lesson.
Otherwise, I really thought that no one could clean up this house!
The old man focused on discussing with Taizu Gong about recognizing Jiang Ying as his relative.
The reason why we have to call him old man is, firstly, Jiang Pinhuai is the oldest and has the highest prestige, and secondly, this old man is famous for his upright family tradition, good character, and sense of responsibility.
Look, the old man said while looking at Jiang Ying with a smile, "A girl's family reputation is still very important. As the saying goes, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and one's family background must be clean.
“After I go back, I will have the clan send someone to Xinghua Village to find out about Sister Ying’s upbringing, and then go back and explain it to the other clan elders. After discussing with the family, I will add her name as the legitimate daughter in the clan tree.
"You guys should also hold a banquet to announce the birth of the child to all relatives and friends and officially acknowledge the child as your own."
"Of course." The old man was thinking this, "I am dissatisfied with what my grandfather said. I have already chosen a date, which is the fifth day of next month. I will write the invitations myself and invite all the relatives and friends in the capital and my hometown to come to the house for a talk.
"So that our sister Ying can officially show herself in front of everyone.
"Let all relatives and friends know that the Duke's Mansion's true legitimate daughter is only Sister Ying."
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but wave at Jiang Ying, and waited for her to come forward before continuing with a smile, "I have already thought of a name for the banquet, which is - Swallow Returns to the Nest."
"The Swallow Returns to the Nest..." Jiang Pinhuai chewed on these three words, then smiled until his cheeks shrank, "Not bad, this is a good name."
Hearing this, Jiang Ying looked at the old lady with a little emotion. She didn't expect that she had even planned all these.
Jiang Yuanlang couldn't help rolling his eyes, but after trying to hold it in, he risked having his second cup of tea splashed on him and asked, "What about Linlin? You can't just recognize a younger sister and kick her out of the house after raising her for so many years, right? Love is love, and it's unfair to Linlin to do this!"
The old man glanced over coldly and said, "It's not fair. My dear granddaughter, your dear sister was exchanged by Grandma Jiang for a husband who has suffered in Xinghua Village for more than ten years?"
"It wasn't Linlin who asked Grandma Jiang to do this."
The old man was so angry that he couldn't help wanting to hit someone, but he held back and said angrily, "Who taught you to say that, your mother or Jiang Yilin?"
The latter stiffened his neck, his hair dampened by tea still retaining moisture, "No one told me that, I just thought so!"
Seeing the old man and the girl about to quarrel, Jiang Pinhuai put down the teacup calmly, "Okay, don't argue meaninglessly.
"You can't do whatever you want with Sister Lin. The clan will send a letter to the border to inquire about Jiang Shang's opinion, and the clan leader and uncles will discuss it seriously. But no matter what, the bloodline of the Jiang family cannot be confused!"
This one sentence directly destroyed Jiang Yuanlang's real idea of passing off fake things as real.
"Great Ancestor!" He was filled with righteous indignation.
However, there was no one or bird.
Seeing that the discussion was almost finished, the old man got up to arrange the meal. Naturally, Jiang Pinhuai and his group would stay at the Duke's Mansion tonight.
Let’s go back to the tribe tomorrow morning.
Since Luo didn't show up the whole afternoon, the old man was too lazy to call her. He only called Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Ying, who had been quite well behaved recently. As for the sullen and unpopular Jiang Yuanlang, the old man simply said, "Eat it if you want!"
Jiang Yuanlang, "..."
놛 narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then sat down.
I have to watch here to prevent these people from secretly squeezing Linlin out of the family tree without anyone knowing!
However, halfway through the meal, someone informed the Luo family and she rushed over angrily, ignoring the presence of elders like Jiang Pinhuai, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Mother, I don't agree! Linlin is my daughter, and her name cannot be removed from the family tree!"
"How dare you!" The old man had never been humiliated like this in front of his tribesmen.
He slammed the chopsticks on the table, hitting the bowl of scorched rice quite hard. A dish of burnt yellow scorched rice spilled out and all over the floor.
Some even jumped onto Rockwell's shoes.
In an instant, everyone's little balls were like those flowers, shaking up and down, unable to calm down.
"Mother, why are you here?" Jiang Yuanlang subconsciously pulled Luo's sleeve.
The latter threw him away and said, "Do you have any conscience? Your sister is about to be eaten alive, and you are still here to eat with us? Yuanlang, I thought you were different from your elder brother and second brother. After all, you and Sister Lin grew up together and have a deeper friendship. I never thought that you are also an ungrateful person, selfish and self-centered!"
"I..." Jiang Yuanlang was stunned and speechless, looking at Luo with disbelief.
Why is 놛 so ungrateful? Hasn't 놛 been speaking up for Sister Lin the whole time? The reason why I'm sitting here is to prevent 놛 from making a decision secretly!
