When Zhu came back, her whole face was stinky and stretched out, as if someone owed her hundreds of taels of silver.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Shunyi's heart skipped a beat. He hurried forward and asked, "Why do you look like that? Is things not going well with Auntie?"
Zhu didn't even bother to look at him. She walked straight past him, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, drank it, and slammed the cup on the table with a "bang". Then she said to him angrily, "Are you sure she is really your aunt?"
Jiang Shunyi was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Hmph!" Zhu snorted coldly, her face full of disdain. "Wanmeng has called her aunt for so many years, but where was she when Wanmeng got into trouble? What did she do?
That was her territory. My two children died there, and Junfan still hasn't fully recovered! Wanmeng is still being tortured by that Mu guy every day, and she's almost lost her human form.
She promised to find a good marriage for Wan Meng, so I let her enter the palace. But what about now? What about now? "
Thinking of Jiang Wanmeng who was suffering, Zhu gradually lost control of her emotions and became hysterical towards Jiang Shunyi.
A trace of heartache flashed across Jiang Shunyi's face at what happened to Jiang Wanmeng. After all, she was once the daughter he had carefully raised. But it was only for a moment, and the next second an expression of annoyance appeared on his face.
"Okay, okay, you have to say these words every day. Don't you find it annoying? Do you think you can get better by just nagging Wanmeng at home like this?"
Seeing his indifferent expression, Zhu became even more furious and screamed, "Jiang Shunyi, why didn't I realize you were so cold-blooded before? They are your own children! How can you just let them go so calmly?"
Jiang Shunyi was annoyed, but still wanted to ask her questions, so he could only patiently go forward and coax her, "Who said I don't care about my children? But what can I do now? We still have to put the overall situation first.
Just buy some good things from Junfan to take care of her. As for Wanmeng, Madam, please visit her more often when you have free time. I think Mu Chenke will be more cautious and treat Wanmeng better."
Seeing that Zhu's mood had stabilized, Jiang Shunyi brought the topic back to the Queen Mother. "What did my aunt say?"
Zhu glanced at him. After being married for so many years, she still didn't know what kind of person this man was. How could she not be easily coaxed by him?
He rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Humph! Your good aunt is really good at passing the buck. She doesn't want to do anything, but asks us to take good care of Xiao Qingheng.
She said she didn't have a doctor who could diagnose poison, so she asked us to find a solution from outside. We must not let her precious grandson suffer and must ensure his safety. She would definitely not treat us unfairly in the future.
It sounds better than anything else, but there's no real benefit, and all they do is paint a rosy picture for people."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Shunyi jokingly, "Master, the Empress Dowager has entrusted the crown prince, Xiao Qingheng, directly to you. You have a huge responsibility now! Hehehe!"
Jiang Shunyi was in a dilemma now. His tone softened as he stepped forward to hug Zhu, "Madam, we are husband and wife. We must share the joys and sorrows together!"
Zhu's face was full of disdain. Don't think she didn't know that this damn man had just said in the morning that he would wait for her to come back, but as soon as she left, he walked into Aunt Bai's yard.
When she thought of this, she became sarcastic: "Master, how can this be said to be sharing the joys and sorrows with me? It's obvious that he only wants to share the hardships with me. As for sharing the joys? Haha! I'm afraid he only cares about those little bitches in the backyard."
Jiang Shunyi felt a little guilty, and after a lot of coaxing, he finally got Zhu to give in.
"Then according to Madam, what should we do now?"
Zhu rolled her eyes at him. "What else can we do? Hurry up and find a way to cure that little ancestor in the side courtyard and send him away! If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later."
I think she already knows what happened today.
Jiang Shunyi's face suddenly turned bitter. "I know what Madam said. We've consulted so many doctors, but none of them are useful!"
Zhu looked at him and said, "I do have an idea, but I wonder if you dare to do it?"
Jiang Shunyi hurriedly asked, "What's the idea?"
Zhu curled her lips and said, "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. This poison was given by Tian An, so naturally she must be the one to untie it."
Jiang Shunyi thought she had some good ideas! He waved his hands in disappointment, "Since it was that girl who poisoned me, how could she possibly help with the detoxification? Unless..."
Thinking of a possibility, he immediately looked up at Zhu, "You don't want someone to kidnap her directly, do you?"
Seeing that Zhu didn't say anything, he was frightened and waved his hands quickly, "No, no, that girl has the support of Tian Mingwu and the Duke of Zhao! And I heard that she is the goddaughter of the wife of the Duke of Anguo.
If they knew we did it, we'd be stirring up a hornet's nest!"
Didn't Xiao Qingheng end up in this situation because he kidnapped Tian An? He didn't want to follow in his footsteps.
Zhu looked at his useless appearance and couldn't help showing contempt in her eyes. She wondered how she could have fallen for such a man in the first place.
No wonder after so many years in officialdom and with the Empress Dowager's protection, he was only able to get promoted to a fifth-rank official.
He then said bluntly: "Who said we have to do it ourselves?
We just need to set up the situation well, and then pass the opportunity to Xiao Qingheng, and he will naturally take action himself.
Even if the Tian, Zhao, and An families seek accountability, they will find Xiao Qingheng. What does it have to do with us?
Moreover, considering the character of Xiao Qingheng, how could Tian An be safe if he fell into his hands?
Can Zhao Yiming still want a woman who has been tainted? Presumably, in order to avoid being implicated in their reputation, the An family will also distance themselves from her!
"That leaves only Tian Mingwu, a foolish and reckless man. Are you afraid of him?"
Jiang Shunyi listened to what Zhu said and the more he listened, the more feasible it seemed to him.
Apart from Tian An, Tian Mingwu has only two young sons, and they will never amount to anything.
As long as Tian An is destroyed, Zhao Yiming will definitely draw a clear line with the Tian family, and then the position of the mistress of Duke Zhao's Mansion will be vacant!
If he could marry his daughter to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion and have a child, then the Duke of Zhao's Mansion would be in his pocket.
I have to say that what he thought was really beautiful. He didn't care at all about the fact that Zhao Yiming almost crippled Jiang Junfan!
"Madam, this is a brilliant idea! Women are truly as capable as men! I'll have to trouble you to take care of the next thing."
After staying in Zhu's room for one night, Jiang Shunyi rushed to Bai's Baiheyuan as soon as he left Zhu's yard.
He was still thinking about training Zhao Yiming to be the mistress of the house! Originally, Jiang Wanmeng was the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately Jiang Wanmeng had been pestering Zhao Yiming for a long time and failed to make him move. Now she was completely useless.
For now, he could only settle for the second best and choose Jiang Wanying, born to Aunt Bai. Although this girl was a concubine's daughter, the matter of whether she was legitimate or not was up to him.
