Jiang Jinyi lowered his eyes.
He wanted to remind his mother that Jiang Xiancao had not been favored before, but she was the legitimate daughter after all, so how could she, a concubine, ignore her?
Moreover, what happened before was indeed their fault. They used such cruel punishment on their innocent sister. It was no wonder that the Queen Mother would be angry when she found out.
But he didn't dare say these words in front of his grandmother and uncle, nor in front of Jiang Jinyan and others, and even couldn't say them to his mother.
Because if she told him, it would only irritate Aunt He and make her hate Jiang Xiancao even more.
This is the case in the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone is used to not taking Jiang Xiancao seriously. After confusing right and wrong for a long time, no one remembers what the original principles and rules should be.
He, the only one who was sober, seemed to be crazy.
After Aunt He finished her mad rage, her chest heaved a few times, and she finally calmed down.
She personally found the lotus handkerchief, and asked the maid to get rose oil, and handed them to Jiang Jinyi, looking at him deeply:
"Since the old lady asked you to go, you should go."
Jiang Jinyi thanked her and was about to turn around and leave when she grabbed his arm.
"If you want to give this thing away, you can't give it away for free. Now that you've bowed your head, you have to coax that crazy girl into submission and let the old lady see your ability to get things done.
Doesn't that crazy girl still have a say in the Empress Dowager? If you get along well with her, she might even let you get your position back."
As Aunt He spoke, her eyes lit up, and she made no attempt to hide her calculations.
Jiang Jinyi looked at her for a moment, nodded, and spoke the only truth he had spoken to his mother today:
"My son thinks so too."
…
When Jiang Jinyi walked towards the courtyard where the second young lady lived, Tang Yuan was talking with Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi saw that the clothes she was wearing were all made of fine materials sent from the palace, and there were also a few jade hairpins on her head. He smiled and said:
"It seems the prince treats you well."
He was really happy for Tangyuan, and he also felt that Jiang Xiancao, the crazy woman with a strong desire for revenge, was still kind to this girl. It seemed that she was not really seeking revenge and would not abandon any principles or bottom line.
However, Tangyuan misunderstood what he meant when he heard what he said.
"Miss, I really have no intention of seducing the prince! He asked Sister Qin'er and the others to force these things on me. If I don't wear them, they will say that I am not obeying the prince's orders!" Tangyuan was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she was trying to pull the hairpin off her head in a panic.
Shen Tingsi restrained her helplessly, "Am I so petty and unreasonable in your heart? You are so good to me, how could I misunderstand that you are trying to seduce him."
As he spoke, he thought to himself:
How could this silly girl seduce a man? If she really wanted to seduce someone, she should seduce someone else.
However, he is now occupying Jiang Xiancao's body, and Jiang Xiancao is occupying his body. If there is any ambiguous contact, I am afraid both of them will be embarrassed to death.
He sighed, feeling hopeless.
Tang Yuan saw his sudden sad expression and whispered, "Miss, are you sighing because the prince likes the girl from the Chu family and doesn't want you anymore?"
Shen Tingsi shuddered and looked up at her, "What did you say, Jiang—who did the Ninth Prince fall in love with?"
Tang Yuan emphasized, "He has taken a fancy to our cousin Chu Yushu from the Marquis' Mansion."
Shen Tingsi almost dropped his jaw in shock.
He heard some rumors at the palace banquet that the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince were both interested in Miss Chu.
But he never took it to heart.
He was not interested in what the sanctimonious hypocrite the Crown Prince thought. As for the current "Ninth Prince", the soul living in his perfect body was a woman. How could he possibly fall in love with another woman?
What is Jiang Xiancao going to do now?
She wouldn't really intend to use his body to marry a woman, would she?
Shen Tingsi instantly became restless. He said to Tang Yuan, "Send a message to the palace and tell them I want to see the Ninth Prince."
He emphasized again, "Tell them, I have something very important to tell the Ninth Prince."
Tang Yuan advised cautiously:
"What if the prince still wants to marry Miss Chu after seeing you? Miss, please don't let yourself get hurt by anger."
Shen Tingsi patted his chest and said confidently, “Don’t worry, after I meet her, she will definitely not dare to marry that woman.”
Tangyuan looked at his confident look, curled her lips, and had to lift the curtain and leave.
Then he met Jiang Jinyi who was about to enter the house.
As soon as he saw Jiang Jinyi, Tang Yuan's face fell and he said bluntly:
"Our young lady is still injured and it's not convenient for her to see outsiders."
Jiang Jinyi paused, forced a smile and said:
"Ms. Tangyuan, I am the elder brother of the Second Miss, and I am not an outsider."
Tangyuan rolled his eyes.
How dare a guy who watches his sister suffer call himself a brother?
Do you have any shame?
When Shen Tingsi heard Jiang Jinyi's voice, she felt a little strange as to why he suddenly came to her.
"Let the Third Young Master in." He wanted to see what Jiang Jinyi was up to this time.
Jiang Jinyi walked in with a gift box in his hand. Shen Tingsi saw that he had something in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang San even brought a gift. How polite!"
Hearing his sarcastic tone, Jiang Jinyi frowned:
"I came here this time to apologize to my second sister."
"You didn't do anything wrong. Why are you coming here to make amends or apologize?"
