"I heard that her dementia has been cured?"
Jiang had never been interested in this foolish young lady from the Marquis's Mansion. If it weren't for her damn mother leaving her a generous dowry, how could the Feng family have agreed to this marriage!
Ever since the news of the engagement between the two families spread, every time she went back to her parents' home, she was inevitably ridiculed by her sisters-in-law. When it came to this daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family, she didn't like her at all.
Feng coughed, signaling Jiang not to bring up the matter now. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and whispered, "I'll tell you more later. It was the Marquis who mentioned yesterday that the eldest girl is getting old now and it's time to get married."
Jiang smiled but did not answer Feng's question. Her eyes were still fixed on Jiang Mingzhi, as if she wanted to find a flower in her.
"Go get me a cup of hot tea."
When Jiang Mingzhi heard the voice, he looked up and saw Mrs. Jiang staring at him with a smile on her face. Although she was smiling, there was no kindness in her eyes.
Feng didn't expect that her sister-in-law would suddenly ask Jiang Mingzhi to pour her tea. She was a little confused and her eyes fell on Jiang Mingzhi.
"I asked you to pour tea. Are you deaf?"
Seeing that Jiang Mingzhi had no intention of getting up, Madam Jiang felt somewhat displeased and the fake smile on her face disappeared.
Qingtang couldn't bear to see his young lady being wronged like this, so he replied bluntly, "Madam Jiang, is she drunk? The young ladies of the Feng family are sitting here, and they will obey Madam Jiang's orders."
Jiang hadn't expected a servant to dare to stop her. She sneered at Feng and said, "Oh, your servants are really unruly. I'm an elder, but I can't even order your eldest lady to pour a cup of tea?"
He originally just wanted to humiliate Jiang Mingzhi, but when he said it, he also slapped Feng in the face.
The Jinyi Marquis' Mansion is now run by the Feng family. If the servants in the mansion are unruly, doesn't it mean that the Feng family is not a good housekeeper?
Feng's face darkened as well, and she lowered her voice and ordered Jiang Mingzhi, "Your aunt asked you to pour a cup of tea, why don't you go now!"
Qingtang's lips twitched and he was about to speak, but Jiang Mingzhi pulled his sleeve.
"Of course I should do what my aunt ordered." Jiang Mingzhi stood up and bowed to the Jiang family with a smile. This sudden obedience made Madam Jiang a little confused.
"But the tea should be freshly brewed. Please wait for a moment, aunt. Mingzhi will go to the tea room."
Seeing Jiang Mingzhi leading his men to the tea room at Prince Jin's mansion, Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I can't cure this little hoof yet, look, he still went there obediently?"
Feng thought about Jiang Mingzhi's stupid illness, whether good or bad, and wondered if Jiang Mingzhi would still be able to laugh if a quarrel broke out. She would be slapped in the face and didn't know what was good for her!
Qingtang followed Jiang Mingzhi forward. Prince Jin's mansion was full of guests today, and the servants were helping to serve the dishes and lead the way. There was no idle servant to ask for directions, and Qingtang was feeling depressed. Unexpectedly, he followed Jiang Mingzhi to the tea room.
"Miss, you are really smart. Even in such a huge Prince Jin's Mansion, you can actually find where the tea room is."
Jiang Mingzhi then realized that he had found the tea room without asking for directions. Fortunately, the people serving him were Qingtang, Ping'er and Zhan'er. They were all trustworthy and would not gossip. He finally felt relieved. "It was just a coincidence. I just saw a maid carrying tea out from here."
After saying that, she told Qingtang to wait here. Qingtang didn't understand what the young lady was going to do, but thinking about how the young lady had behaved since she woke up, he didn't ask any more questions and just followed the instructions to make tea in the tea room.
When returning to his hometown, Jiang Mingzhi never expected that he would be in this identity, and to attend the wedding banquet of Bai Huiniang and Chu Jincheng.
Thinking of all those new and old grudges, Jiang Mingzhi just found it ridiculous.
She didn't expect that Bai Hui Niang was actually the daughter of the Minister of War's concubine. With the Bai family recognizing this daughter, Chu Jincheng had another teammate.
Jiang Mingzhi had a sarcastic smile on his face. He easily avoided others and arrived at the main courtyard of Prince Jin's Mansion.
But before she could step through the moon-shaped gate, she heard someone sobbing softly. It was Ce'er, the prince's legitimate son who had been raised in her care.
Chu Ce is only ten years old now, and she doesn't believe that he knows about this. But today is the day when his biological mother and biological father are getting married, so why is Chu Ce crying here?
"Prince, please stop crying. If the princess hears you, she will punish you again. The princess has passed away. You must take care of yourself."
A maidservant whispered a warning. It sounded like Bai Hui Niang had punished Chu Ce more than once. Jiang Mingzhi felt a surge of mixed emotions.
After all, Ce'er was raised by her. Even though he is not her biological son, she has treated him as her own mother for many years. It seems that he will not be able to get close to Bai Hui Niang for a while. Seeing that Ce'er is always thinking about her as his adoptive mother, Bai Hui Niang will probably have trouble sleeping all night!
Jiang Mingzhi stepped back quietly and took another path to the back of the main courtyard.
She knew where the guards of Prince Jin's mansion were usually. Prince Jin was not there at this moment. Only the "bride" Bai Hui Niang who had just entered was in the main house. This used to be her residence, but now everything had changed.
Chu Jincheng wanted to live happily with Bai Huiniang, but she would not let him have his way.
He took out two long reddish-brown stones from his purse, threw them hard, and the stones landed on the roof with two clangs.
Looking up at the sky, the clouds slowly covered the sun, and the wind rose from the horizon, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.
After finishing his task, Jiang Mingzhi walked back. Even though he was very careful, he was almost discovered by a passing woman on the way.
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. When we returned to the tea room, Qingtang and others had already brewed the tea.
In the front yard, the opera troupe hired by the palace was singing "The Number One Scholar Gets Married", which aroused cheers and made the scene very lively.
Jiang Mingzhi came back and personally poured a cup of tea for Madam Jiang. Just as she was about to return to her seat, Madam Jiang raised her eyebrows and frowned, saying, "It's really not easy to drink this cup of tea from you. I think when you marry into the family and serve your parents-in-law in the future, you have to make tea half a day in advance, right?"
She actually acted like a mother-in-law.
Jiang Mingzhi didn't want to confront Madam Jiang. She had already done what she wanted to do, so no matter how Madam Jiang made things difficult for her, she would just ignore her.
But this Madam Jiang took advantage of the situation and acted ungratefully, repeatedly making things difficult for her marriage with the Jiang family.
"If you marry into someone's family, it's your duty to serve your parents-in-law. Mingzhi will do it without hesitation. But isn't it a little too early for Madam Jiang to tell Mingzhi this now?"
Jiang Mingzhi smiled appropriately, and her voice was neither too loud nor too low, but it could be heard by the ladies around her, and no one could find fault with it.
"Hey, auntie, I'm her future mother-in-law after all. Look, you're already choking me with words before we even get married. After we get married, won't you be able to poop and piss on me?!"
Jiang was short of breath and complained loudly to Feng. It was obvious that she was not going to let Jiang Mingzhi off easily today.
