The sky was gloomy and a rainstorm was about to come.
Yan Zhuo heard Qi Ren's report that Jiang Ying was secretly happy about returning to Yu Hui and Zhu. He wondered if she had come to her senses and changed her mind.
Then I heard that Mrs. Jiang and her three brothers-in-law had moved there together.
The man looked puzzled. "What's going on? You're not comfortable living in the Duke's Mansion. Do you have to squeeze into the Prince's courtyard?"
Qi Ren didn't dare to say anything. Who knew what was going on?
However, the Jiang family's human nature is a bit strange and unpredictable. Qi Ren was deeply touched by this and became cautious.
It’s better to say less!
When the master and servant arrived, Lian had not returned yet.
Yan Zhuo was about to go in with Qi Ren when he suddenly saw three tall figures standing not far from the door, their faces grim, "Prince, are you looking for our younger sister?"
The one who spoke was Jiang Yuanyi. Although his vision was impaired, it did not affect his aura at all.
Even more, a black sword stood in front of him, and with his hands casually raised, a majestic aura was revealed.
Yan Zhuo had fought in battles before, so he naturally knew that this was all due to Jiang Yuanyi's cultivation of his violent nature on the battlefield.
As for the remaining two people who were just pretending to be powerful, he didn't take them seriously.
Staring at Jiang Yuanyi, Yan Zhuo took a step forward. He was wearing a long black robe, with simple facial features, but his frown was not inferior to Jiang Yuanyi at all.
His tone was unusually gentle, "According to reason, the king should call Brother Yuanyi uncle. I heard that Ying'er had returned, so I came to visit him. Uncle is so hostile, could it be that Ying'er was wronged in the Duke's Mansion and dared not let the king know?"
It was the first time that Jiang Yuanyi saw a thief crying "Catch the thief" and being able to say it so smoothly and shamelessly.
He subconsciously swung his sword and said, "My Lord, your stepmother sent someone over earlier, but Yingying was too annoyed to show up.
"So, regarding the marriage between you two, we shouldn't have to say more about her attitude, right?"
It was only today that I found out that Jiang Ying did not want to marry Yan Zhuo.
Moreover, Princess Jiqin deliberately tried to show Yingying her displeasure. She was acting like a stepmother before she even got married.
On one hand, she was keeping Jiang Yilin in suspense, on the other hand, she was controlling Ying Jie'er. She was so good at playing with the Duke's Mansion in her hands. Why didn't she take a few more naps during the day and dream in the daytime? !
Yan Zhuo narrowed his eyes, "My stepmother is my stepmother, and the king is the king. Don't you know, uncle, that I always hate being controlled by her?"
"That's your business. No matter what, don't involve our Sister Ying."
"Yes, uncle is right."
Yan Zhuo's eyes gradually deepened, "So, the king came to Ying'er to ask for clarification. Stepmother asked countless questions, and I would not acknowledge her answers."
"Now is not the time. Grandmother has gone to the Qinwang Mansion on behalf of Yingying. Before grandma brings back the confirmed news, the prince is not convenient to visit, so as not to affect my sister's reputation."
It's unbelievable, she even gave birth to a child herself, so what reputation can affect her?
My brother-in-law is clearly lying with his eyes open!
Raindrops fell with a patter, hitting between the two men who were ready to fight with their swords drawn.
No one was willing to back down. Jiang Yuanchen and Jiang Yuanlang were like two stubborn generals, accompanying Jiang Yuanyi without making any concessions.
Seeing this, Qi Ren hurried back to the carriage and got an umbrella for Yan Zhuo.
Who knew that Jiang Yuanyi and the others were also prepared, and two brothers came from the side to hit him, so that he was the only one here, which was quite pitiful...
Qi Ren suddenly got angry, "Master, I can hold two umbrellas by myself!"
Yan Zhuo, "..."
It's really a thing that stands out at the critical moment!
He closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind. "If my uncle insists on being so stubborn, it's okay. The king can wait until the old lady comes back."
Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao, the sound of horse-drawn carriages rumbling closer.
Jiang Yuanyi also realized that it was his grandmother who came back, but he didn't dare to move, nor could he move, so he quickly tilted his head to signal Jiang Yuanchen to go out and meet her, while he stayed where he was and continued to block Yan Zhuo to prevent this person from sneaking away.
"Second brother, go quickly. I will provide a good support for you, eldest brother." Jiang Yuanchen vowed.
Yan Zhuo glanced at him. Why did he feel that his second uncle had returned to normal?
Before, the old lady had helped Jiang Ying create space for a private conversation with her, so Yan Zhuo was not nervous at all. He even waited for the old lady to speak and make way so that he could slap his eldest uncle in the face.
Who would have thought that when she saw him here, the old lady was so angry that her face darkened and she walked so fast that she didn't even care about the rain. "Why is he here? Send him away. We Yingying don't welcome him!"
Yan Zhuo didn't understand what was going on, but he couldn't argue with his elders.
Qi Ren opened his mouth and was about to say, "This courtyard still belongs to my prince. You took advantage of it, so why are you so mean to my prince?"
Yan Zhuo was the first to step down and bowed as a greeting. "The old lady is angry. I will come back later."
What he had to do now was not to force his way in to see her. After all, as long as she didn't run away, there would be many opportunities for them to meet.
Besides, even if she ran, if he was serious, she couldn't escape from his palm.
What was most important to him now was to find out what Tong had done to make the usually calm Madam Jiang so angry.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Tong family really would cause him trouble!
When Jiang Ying heard that Yan Zhuo was driven away, he was surprised and felt fortunate.
Good job, grandma! Good job, brothers!
As soon as he entered the room, he took the cotton towel from Yin Zhu's hand and wiped Lian's wet hair himself.
He asked with a smile, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you? Before you left, you told me to treat Tong Shi as shit and not to bother with her. How come you went to the Qinwang Mansion by yourself and came back as if you had eaten dynamite?"
Lian turned around when she heard the voice and took off her hairpin. The old lady lost her elegant and distant look and became more approachable and kind.
"Silly boy, I did that on purpose for Prince Yan to see. Don't you want to see him?"
Uh... Jiang Ying is ashamed.
She didn't want to see him, but she also knew that Yan Zhuo was of noble status, and her grandmother and brothers could stop him for her temporarily but not forever.
Marriage is a matter that you have to face sooner or later.
"Grandmother must have encountered some unhappy things in the Qinwang Mansion, right?" Jiang Ying's eyes flashed. Three women make a drama, let alone the Luo, Jiang Yilin and Tong families. It is so outrageous.
This is why she refused today no matter what.
Who would care about them?
Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at Jiang Ying deeply.
Jiang Ying became more and more certain that he was right, and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Grandma, just tell me. I've already prepared myself mentally."
Lian sighed, "Yan Zhuo's stepmother brought Jiang Yilin to the King Qin to get away with it. The latter didn't know many key points and actually recognized Jiang Yilin's identity as his legal wife again.
"That's why my grandmother was so angry and reckless, but she didn't take the responsibility. My husband was so confused that he couldn't see that Tong wanted to mess up this marriage."
Jiang Ying snorted coldly, "Like father, like son. Like son, like daughter. Like son, like daughter. It's not surprising. If the old man is like this, the son will be almost the same."
Wasn't Senior Yan Zhuo being led away by Jiang Yilin?
Therefore, it is not surprising that the King Qin was played around by the second wife Tong.
Jiang Ying remained calm as usual, "Besides this, is there anything else?"
