Chapter 14: The younger one gets the older one

"Thank you for your advice, Miss Jiang Liu. I will leave now.

That jade pendant could be used to withdraw a maximum of 50,000 taels of silver from Anping Bank.

Just consider it as a thank you gift from Miss Jiang Liu for your advice."

Hearing this, Jiang Youning smiled happily and bowed to the wall to thank him for the banquet: "Goodbye, young master~"

[Yeah, sure, I suddenly feel like you match my sister in every way! ! ! ]

Xie Ciyan immediately held his head high and chest puffed out, and he seemed alive again.

This future sister-in-law can speak, and she doesn't seem to be annoying.

~~~

Jiang Youning happily threw the jade pendant into the system backpack through his sleeve, and prepared to go back to his own small courtyard to set up.

Along the way, looking at the various flowers blooming in the courtyard, Jiang Youning couldn't help but exclaim:

"The weather is really nice today, and the flowers are blooming beautifully."

"Miss is right!"

Chuntao nodded in agreement.

As he was speaking, the servant beside Jiang Huaian came again.

"Miss, the master and the mistress would like you to go to the front hall."

"Do you know what happened? My dad felt that I had just let him vent his anger, so he wanted to reward me with something?"

Jiang Youning's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chuntao couldn't help but look at Jiang Youning with a speechless look.

It's over. The young lady seems to be getting sicker. Young Marquis Xie's generosity makes the young lady have the illusion that the Jiang family is also very wealthy.

She had to quickly inform the kitchen to prepare a full-brain feast for the young lady at noon today.

"Yes... there is a guest who wants to see the young lady. It seems that he is not here with good intentions."

The servant lowered his head slowly.

“…”

The smile on Jiang Youning's face froze.

"What guest? Could it be that screaming chicken from yesterday?"

"Miss, my name is Zhen Yueyao."

Chun Tao corrected Jiang Youning.

"Miss, this time it's the mother who came, not Miss Zhen."

The servant reminded again respectfully.

"Well, after messing with the younger one, here comes the older one. It turns out that if you make money too quickly, you'll always have to suffer.

Let’s go to the front hall.”

Jiang Youning is in a good mood at the moment and is willing to spend some time playing with the vicious supporting characters.

As they walked down the road, Jiang Youning suddenly thought of something and said to Chuntao:

"By the way, Chuntao, is that Screaming Chicken important?"

"Miss, have you forgotten that scream... Oh no, Miss Zhen is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion?"

Chuntao looked at Jiang Youning with an indescribable look.

Jiang Youning's face suddenly fell into a look of grief-stricken little cat.

He has a title, I can't criticize him.

Moreover, the original text seems to say that Duke Zhen and the heroine don't have much interaction, but the whole family causes a lot of trouble.

When the male protagonist started to criticize the hero, Duke Zhen secretly bullied him. Someone in the Duke's mansion almost ruined the heroine's innocence, and the male protagonist was naturally killed.

The point is, the Duke's Mansion is wealthy, and the crazy man has the financial resources to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and his family's dirty assets have made a lot of progress.

I didn’t expect it to be Screaming Chicken!

~~~

Jiang Youning came to the front hall with a heroic and high-spirited look.

"I have seen my parents, but I don't know why they asked me to come here."

Jiang Youning politely greeted Jiang Huaian and Lin Xiangyin again.

"Hmph! You're just putting on airs!"

Before Jiang Huaian and Lin Xiangyin could speak.

At the side, the woman with an unpleasant look snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Youning with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

"Dad and Mom, who is this mother-in-law?"

Jiang Youning looked at the Duke's wife carefully, and then asked obediently.

In an instant, the Duke's wife's face turned pale.

Before she could even open her mouth, Lin Xiangyin rolled her eyes at Jiang Youning and said, "Ningning, don't be rude. This is the Duke's wife, and she's the same age as me this year."

Jiang Youning was filled with astonishment, and then quickly changed his words and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Madam Duke, you must be overworked managing such a huge Duke's Mansion. You look more than ten years older than my mother.

If my mother hadn’t said that, I would have thought you were already in your 50s or 60s.”

The Duke's wife thought that the housekeeper power of the Duke's Mansion was still in the hands of the old witch, and her husband's heart was not with him. She was too idle all day long.

Suddenly, an unknown flame ignited in her chest. How dare a little girl be so sarcastic to her? She glared at Jiang Youning sternly.

"She's so sharp-tongued. The Jiang family really raised a good daughter!

Even if a pheasant lands in a golden nest, it can never become a golden phoenix. It doesn't have the demeanor of a lady from a noble family at all!"

"Madam Guogong is really good at joking. The little girl Yan Wuji, you are a lady of a high-ranking family, you shouldn't bother with a child, right?"

The old witch dared to say that her Ningning was a pheasant. Lin Xiangyin clenched her hands tightly, suppressed the urge to beat her, and forced a gentle smile on her face.

I'll find an opportunity to secretly kill this old witch.

"snort!"

No matter what happened to Jiang Youning, it was the Jiang family's family affair. After being praised in such a high regard, the Duke's wife could not say anything more.

A mere woman dared to speak ill of his daughter. Jiang Huaian looked a little unhappy and said slowly:

"I wonder what the Duke's wife is talking about when she comes to your house today?"

"Of course you are here to ask Miss Jiang Liu for the antidote."

When she talked about this, the Duke's wife wanted to scratch Jiang Youning's face.

This little bitch is good at playing with people's hearts. It was obviously her who caused Yaoyao to lose face and even beat her maid, but the rumors outside are all on her side.

She wanted to avenge her daughter, but she couldn't do it openly.

Thinking about her daughter's face again, Mrs. Zhen became even angrier.

"Antidote? What antidote?"

Now it was Jiang Youning's turn to be confused.

Is there something wrong with this woman? Why is she here at Jiang's house to commit fraud?

"Are you still playing dumb? My Yaoyao had a lot of red spots on her face this morning, and the doctor said it was poisoning.

She only had a conflict with you yesterday. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

The Duke's wife looked at Jiang Youning with an aggressive gaze.

"Madam, if you want to commit fraud, at least give me a more credible charge.

Everyone in the capital knows that I, Jiang Youning, always take revenge on the spot. If anyone offends me, I will give him a beating on the head.

As for using poison? Who here do you think would dare to sell poison to me?"

Jiang Youning tried his best to open his eyes as wide as possible.

This old witch was scolding her, and she still dared to glare at her? Could her dead fish eyes be bigger than hers?

"The Duke's wife is so old, yet she has gone to such great lengths to wrongly accuse a child. She is truly a noble lady. I will have a good talk with Duke Zhen tomorrow when I go to court."

Jiang Huaian couldn't help but shake his sleeves at the Duke's wife.
