"Why did Lao Hai run away so quickly?"
Jiang Shuyue looked at his back. He looked like a little girl, which didn't match his image at all.
"Little sister, this is your and Xiaosheng's first time here. How about I take you for a walk? The Prime Minister's Mansion might not be interesting, but there are gifts to be received. Want to go?"
"Go! Just in time to help my little Sheng recover some of his health!"
"Thank you, mother."
Although this amount of money was nothing to him, he was still very happy that his mother had such a thoughtfulness in mind.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then let's start with the second room. Second brother will make you a big one!"
Jiang Shuyue looked at Jiang Chen with a wicked smile and muttered, "Second brother looks evil, and it seems like he has a conspiracy."
System: [It's not a conspiracy, but the second wife is your grandfather's younger brother, Liu Chengze. He's a henpecked man, honest, and even now, he's a fourth-rank official.]
He had wanted to move out years ago, but his wife was no ordinary woman. She was a typical green tea woman, constantly stirring up trouble in his ears and driving a wedge between him and his brothers. When you were lost, she was so happy she almost set off firecrackers.
[No, she got rich and secretly bought 30,000 firecrackers, ran to the wilderness to have fun, and even caused a commotion in the forest. The royal family mobilized the imperial guards and it took half a month to put out the riot, and more than a dozen people died!]
Jiang Chen suddenly felt that the woman was extremely vicious.
It matches her appearance.
Jiang Shuyue also disliked her: [Isn't this taking human life lightly? This thing should go to hell!]
Jiang Chen: That’s right, so I’ll take you to collect some interest first.
A few people got on the carriage and drove for a while before arriving at where the second house was.
"Grandpa is quite generous. He vacated such a large yard for them to live in."
As soon as Jiang Shuyue walked in, she was shocked by the prosperity inside.
When I entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, I felt its ancient charm and restrained prosperity.
Here, people are eager to put all valuable things on display.
"Hey, isn't this my cousin? Why is he here when you should be practicing martial arts? This is..."
There was a trace of contempt on the visitor's face.
System: [This is your second great-aunt's dowry nanny, Chen. She's a deceitful person, and she's colluding with that woman to lend money at interest. Recently, a family couldn't pay the interest, so they sold their daughter. The little girl's mother died after hitting her head against a wall. Someone is planning to file a lawsuit!]
Jiang Shuyue: [It seems every family has pests.]
System: [This fat woman seems to look down on you, but she's actually jealous of you. She thinks her daughter is much prettier than you, and that you're lucky to be the wife of a marquis. She even cursed you for not dying out there.]
Jiang Chen and Zhou Sesheng stood by and silently shot her to death with their laser eyes.
"Why should I report to a slave like you? Do you think you deserve it?"
"Hmph, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion attaches great importance to etiquette, but now it seems that it is just so-so. I have been standing here for a long time, and you didn't even spit. Second uncle, let's go, this place is quite unlucky."
Nanny Chen was stunned and almost fell to her knees in fear.
Who knew that this plainly dressed man was actually the prince of a marquisate?
"Your Highness, I am blind. Please come in. I will serve you tea immediately."
Zhou Sesheng turned her little face away and ignored her.
Jiang Chen: "The young master is here, but Second Aunt is still hiding inside. She really doesn't know the rules."
"Exactly. I didn't expect this to be your way of entertaining guests."
"But that's true. After all, the Second House isn't the Prime Minister's House. Strictly speaking, it should be considered an adult... I can't remember."
Nanny Chen was so angry that her teeth were itching. Isn't this bullying their master because of his low status?
Jiang Shuyue: [Xiao Sheng seems like a different person, like a little adult.]
System: [I'm a young master, well, I'm qualified to be a devil. Of course I look down on this kind of evil slave. Look at this woman's face!]
Jiang Shuyue took one look and didn't want to read anymore: [His nostrils are pointed upwards enough to stick garlic in, his mouth is thick enough to fan the wind, his eyes are like sesame seeds, and his face is pockmarked.]
[This person is a real nuisance to the city. How can my second aunt face her every day?]
System: [Looks safe, no need to worry about being robbed.]
Jiang Chen/Zhou Sesheng: We are definitely not afraid.
"Who's making so much noise over there? Oh, isn't that the young master? Jiang Chen, you kid too, since the young master is coming, why didn't you tell us in advance? Second auntie didn't make any preparations, how could we neglect the guests?"
The woman, who was in her early forties, was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, wearing bright red and green clothes that were extremely eye-catching.
Jiang Shuyue was a little surprised: [System, can you tell me if Second Aunt is the reincarnation of chicken essence? Why do I feel like it has that aura?]
System: [You're overthinking it. Chicken essence also has its own taste. The reason this person was able to captivate your Second Uncle is because she's different from other women, and she caught your Second Uncle's eye.]
Jiang Shuyue: […Hehe]
Jiang Chen: "Don't be afraid, the young master is easygoing and doesn't care about trivial matters."
"I see. Then please come in."
"etc."
Zhou Sesheng stood with his hands behind his back, posing as a young master: "If your eyes are just for decoration, then you don't need them."
"As the wife of a fourth-rank official, shouldn't you show respect to my mother?"
Jiang Shuyue: [My dear child, I know that mother doesn't love you!]
Second aunt breathed heavily and glared at Jiang Shuyue fiercely.
"I'm so negligent, Shuyue. This is the first time we meet, right? Come in quickly. Second aunt has made you some delicious Biluochun."
System: [You should be careful. This woman is close to your sister and has received many good things from her. I heard that Jiang Liuli suffered a loss at your hands, and she was looking for an opportunity to vent her anger. She just spat in the teapot she prepared.]
Fuck...this is more terrible than poisoning!
Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "No need for tea. I just received a piece of fine jade from my grandfather, so I was thinking if I could come and receive a gift. Second aunt, do you have a gift for Xiao Yueyue?"
System: ...Xiao Yueyue? Who are you trying to disgust?
Jiang Shuyue: Create equality for everyone!
Second aunt's eyelids twitched in disgust.
You little jerk, you didn't even bring a gift when you came to visit, but instead you came to ask for a gift. How shameless!
But because the young master was there, she couldn't get angry.
"Go and get the jade hairpin from my dressing box."
A hint of cunning flashed in Nanny Chen's eyes, and she happily went to get the things.
Jiang Shuyue: [System, did you see her sly smile? I think there's something fishy going on.]
System: [The Jade Hairpin is their secret code. The old lady has a drawer full of Jade Hairpins, all fake. She gives them away to anyone she can't see. Last time someone got caught, they lost face in front of the noble lady. Many of her things are fake.]
[She had someone make fakes of your second great-uncle's things, as well as your maternal grandfather's calligraphy and paintings, and then sold the real ones.]
