After looking at him and then at the hairpin in her hand, Chu Zhiyin left with red eyes and face, carrying her sleeping niece.
Jiang Chenjue looked at her back, unable to stop smiling.
His personal soldiers who were not far away saw this scene and felt like they had seen a ghost.
The general is actually laughing?
Could it be that it’s raining red rain from the sky?
Chu Zhiyin carried Chu Xiaoxiao back to the Zen room. The old lady, Yang, Yu and Wang all looked over. Yang reached out and took her daughter over, and put her on the couch beside her. The child fell asleep, and she was uncomfortable sleeping in her arms.
The old lady saw the jade hairpin in Chu Zhiyin's hand and asked in surprise: "Yin'er! Who gave you this?"
"Jiang Chenjue!" Chu Zhiyin blushed and said a name. Knowing that the old lady didn't understand, she explained, "He is the eldest son of the Pingning Marquis."
"Pingning Marquis's Mansion?" The old lady pondered, "Pingning Marquis's Mansion has a concubine's eldest son, who has been in the army for more than ten years and rarely returns to the capital. Did the Marquis's wife bring him here today?"
Yu smiled and shook her head: "Impossible, I heard the other day that the eldest son of the Pingning Marquis's mansion had moved to a separate mansion."
Wang then confirmed: "It's true, everyone outside is saying so. It is said that the eldest son of the concubine went to find Pingning Marquis as soon as he came back, and the father and son talked for a long time in the study.
He then led his men out of the mansion, and then the wife of Marquis Pingning was confined to her house, as if the eldest son of the concubine had said something in front of the Marquis. "
Chu Zhiyin sat down and answered, "He found evidence that the Marquis murdered his mother and killed two people."
Yang was shocked: "What? He found evidence? No wonder the Marquis' wife was confined to her house."
"What else did he say?"
The old lady looked at the jade hairpin in her daughter's hand and naturally guessed what she was thinking. She was inevitably a little worried. They had very little contact with Jiang Chenjue and didn't know him well.
Looking at my daughter's expression, she is obviously moved, otherwise she would not have accepted the jade hairpin.
"He said he lives in Jiang's house."
"Jiang Mansion?" Yu laughed. "Isn't this the one the matchmaker came to propose marriage to you last time?"
Yang, Wang and the old lady looked at each other, and then all looked at Chu Zhiyin, waiting for her answer.
"That's the man." Chu Zhiyin nodded, "He didn't marry, nor did he have a concubine. He had his own residence and didn't mingle with the Pingning Marquis' residence.
The Prince of Pingning plotted against me because he knew that he had proposed marriage to me before, and he wanted my eight million taels of compensation silver."
"Bang!" The old lady slapped the table, "Damn it! The wife of Marquis Pingning is really inhumane."
Yang was also angry: "Don't easily agree to anything if it's not sincere. You are the aunt of our Duke of the Guardian's Mansion. Not everyone can covet you, let alone let you be someone's concubine."
Yu frowned, unhappy: "The Prince of Pingning is going too far, he wants our little sister to be his concubine? How shameless."
Wang snorted disdainfully: "Don't say that the plan didn't work. Even if it did work, we wouldn't agree to it. He wants to have both money and women, and he's not afraid of being starved to death. We don't have concubines in our family."
Seeing the three sisters-in-law defending her, Chu Zhiyin was very moved: "Pingning Hou's son didn't plot against me, but was plotted against by Liu Chanru. Just wait and see! It won't be long before he brings his aunt in."
The old lady looked at her three daughters-in-law meaningfully, then turned to her daughter and asked, "You accepted his jade hairpin. Does that mean you agreed to it? Do you understand him?"
Chu Zhiyin looked up at her sleeping niece, then turned back to meet the old lady's gaze and paused for a moment: "He is my perfect match. He has no other concubines around him, and he is just waiting for me to marry him.
We have been friends since childhood. When he was four years old, I saw him being teased and stood up for him, and he remembered it. Later, he went to join the army, and because he was cowardly, he didn't dare to propose marriage.
After hearing that I was married, he never returned to the capital. This time he came back because he heard that I was divorced. "
Hearing this, the old lady's brows relaxed. She believed everything her little granddaughter said in her heart.
She said that the eldest son of the Pingning Marquis's family was a good match for her daughter, so it must be true, there is no doubt about it.
Yang also believed it: "It sounds like this Mr. Jiang is a good person. If he can really succeed, it will be a blessing for the rest of your life."
Yu reminded Chu Zhiyin: "Regarding the 8 million taels of compensation, I think it's better to spread the word first, so as not to cause any trouble for that disgusting sum of money."
"Second sister-in-law is right. Since we have already made the decision, we might as well make it known in advance." Wang was frightened by the vicious thoughts of Pingning Marquis and his mother. "Our Chu family will not spend a single cent of that money."
Chu Zhiyin nodded: "I have already explained it to him clearly. He has no objection and supports my decision."
"That's good. As long as you're not here for the silver, it's fine." The old lady was happy that her daughter would soon have a home. "Let your father come to the palace tomorrow and bring your eight million taels to donate to the national treasury. It's not for fame or fortune, but for a peaceful life."
Chu Zhiyin had no objection: "Everything is up to my parents. By the way, he said that he would send someone to propose marriage tomorrow, so I should not refuse again."
"No." The old lady smiled and held her daughter's hand, "Before we didn't understand people, but now that we understand them, we naturally won't refuse easily.
Yin'er! Relax! It's not easy to meet someone who likes you, hold on to him/her. I don't think Mr. Jiang is a stubborn person. "
"I think so too." Yang was happy for Chu Zhiyin. "From what he did, it was clear that he had planned everything step by step. He is indeed a general. He does things just like he is fighting a war, and every step is flawless.
The evidence that Lady Pingning had murdered his mother must have been found a long time ago, but she had been hiding it and waiting for an opportunity. "
Mrs. Yu also thought so: "Sister-in-law's analysis is correct. Young Master Jiang is a patient person. The wife of Marquis Pingning probably never dreamed that this illegitimate son would strangle her throat if he didn't make a move."
"Give me evidence, don't make a fuss, just to live in a separate house." Wang looked at Chu Zhiyin mischievously, "I guess this is all for my little sister, right?"
"Third sister-in-law! Don't tease me." Chu Zhiyin's face was filled with a happy smile, "The Jiang Mansion he bought is not far from our Huguogong Mansion. It is said that it only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there."
"Ah?" Yang was shocked. "This Mr. Jiang had planned this long ago. He even bought a mansion not far from us."
The old lady laughed heartily after hearing this: "Hahaha! That's right, he's thoughtful. This way, mother can rest assured to leave you to him. No matter what happens in the future, just give a call and your brother and sister-in-law will be there. Even the wife of Pingning Hou won't dare to embarrass you."
"He said that I don't need to care about the people in Pingning Marquis's mansion, let alone the wife of Pingning Marquis."
Chu Zhiyin was telling her family that after she got married, she wouldn't have to serve her parents-in-law or look at anyone's face, and she would be the most powerful person in the whole house.
"Good! Good! Good!" The old lady smiled until tears welled up in her eyes. "My son has finally come to an end of his suffering."
