Chapter 225: She would rather not have a wavering relationship!
"Thank you, mom!"
Jiang Wan smiled sweetly, and suddenly thought of something, and deliberately gave Song Jiuyuan a provocative smile.
Song Jiuyuan: ...
Although he felt speechless, Song Jiuyuan was actually happy from the bottom of his heart that his mother loved Jiang Wan.
His little girl had suffered too much in the past, and he hoped that his family could bring her some happiness in the future.
"Ayin, you eat too."
Song Qing didn't rush to eat the dumplings, but scooped a dumpling and put it to Madam Song's lips.
Mrs. Song's face was flushed with shame. She was already a mother of several children, and it was rare for her to look like a young girl.
She opened her mouth and ate the glutinous rice balls that Song Qing fed her. She lowered her head and ate with her eyes downcast, not daring to look up at the children.
Instead, Song Qing gave Song Jiuyuan a look that urged him to learn from him.
Song Jiuyuan held the spoon in his hand, raised it and put it down again, but in the end he did not make such a move that was not in line with his character.
Jiang Wan naturally had no idea about Song Jiuyuan's dilemma. After eating the dumplings, the family was so sleepy that Madam Song gave each of them a red purse.
"This is New Year's money. Put it under your pillow when you go to bed at night."
"Thank you, mother."
Jiang Wan stroked the purse with her fingertips. The stitches on the purse were very fine and it was embroidered by Madam Song herself.
This is more precious to her than anything else.
Song Jiuyuan and the others were not surprised because Madam Song did the same thing every year.
Jiang Wan yawned, Song Jiuyuan felt particularly distressed, and simply said:
"We are all tired, go to bed early."
Everyone was so sleepy that they went back to their own rooms.
Because of the divorce, Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan simply stayed in separate rooms to rest.
Qiu Niang had already warmed the bed for her with warm water, and Jiang Wan crawled into it and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Jiang Wan was awakened early by Qiu Niang. She put on her new clothes and went to pay New Year's greetings to Song Qing and the eldest lady.
Now that they have no other elders, they spend the year casually.
Mainly because the people of Qucheng were living in dire straits, and no one had the heart to celebrate the New Year.
So after breakfast, Jiang Wan thought about going to the city gate to take a look, and Madam Song stayed behind to take care of Song Qing.
The others followed her to the city gate. Looking at the long queue, Song Jiuli couldn't help but said:
"Why are there still so many people here? Brother, is there enough food?"
"The remaining ones can last for a few days. Song Yi has already gone to get the food."
Since Song Jiuyuan planned to take over Jiuzhou, he naturally had to deal with the problem of Qucheng properly.
"That's good."
Song Jiuli didn't understand all this and just followed Jiang Wan obediently. It was not until Song Jiuyuan was busy that she found a chance to be alone with Jiang Wan.
"Big...Big sister-in-law, are you really planning to divorce Big Brother?"
In fact, she didn't want to offend her sister-in-law, but this task was arranged by her mother, and she had to find out her sister-in-law's true thoughts.
"yes."
Jiang Wan answered without hesitation, and added: “Your elder brother and I are not suitable.
Besides, I'm not angry. He married me unwillingly, and you all know that."
"That was before!"
Song Jiuli blurted out and made amends for Song Jiuyuan: “Brother didn’t know you well at that time.
Just like my second brother and I, we had many misunderstandings about you in the past.
It’s different now, mom said that big brother has you in his eyes and heart.”
"Li'er, are you here to persuade me not to divorce?"
Jiang Wan looked more serious, but in fact she herself hadn't thought it through because she was confused.
Seeing her expressionless face, Song Jiuli immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, I just want to know what you think.
What mother and I said before was the truth. If you really don’t have feelings for big brother, we won’t force you.”
"Li'er."
Jiang Wan said seriously, "You can't compromise on emotional matters. In your big brother's eyes, I'm not so important that he must have me."
She would rather not have a wavering relationship!
Perhaps because Jiang Wan was too serious, Song Jiuli hesitated for a few seconds before taking Jiang Wan's arm and saying:
"Sister Wanwan, no matter what decision you make, I support you."
"Okay, let's continue distributing porridge."
Jiang Wan scratched her nose, and the two girls smiled brightly, catching the eyes of Song Jiuyuan who was not far away.
His eyes were almost glued to Jiang Wan, and Song Jiuchi couldn't help but complain.
"Brother, do you dare to say that you really have no feelings for Sister Wanwan?"
"Jiu Chi, you are still young, there are some things you don't understand."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes were dim. He withdrew his gaze and issued several orders in succession.
Song Yi left carefully to carry out the mission. His master's mood had been a little low recently, and none of his subordinates dared to let down their guard.
Song Jiuyuan had been dealing with the affairs of Qucheng these past few days, and had met Sun Zhubo several times, but both of them tacitly avoided mentioning the matter of Zhang.
The situation in Qucheng is somewhat complicated. Most of the people are County Magistrate Fu’s men. Now that County Magistrate Fu is gone, they are all still waiting and watching.
Fortunately, without the pressure from County Magistrate Fu, Chief Clerk Sun was still capable of doing things, so Song Jiuyuan could barely rest assured.
In two days, after they have finished explaining the following matters, they can set off for the provincial capital.
When they finished their work, it was already dusk. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuli sat in the carriage while Qiu Niang and Lu Shui massaged their sore wrists.
"Master, the servants can do this. You don't need to do it yourself."
Qiu Niang pinched Jiang Wan's wrist distressedly, and Jiang Wan explained with a smile:
"Now is the critical moment for the prince to conquer Jiuzhou. We must win a good reputation for him."
"My eldest brother is unlucky that he can't keep Sister Wanwan!"
Song Jiuli noticed that Jiang Wan was still thinking about Song Jiuyuan at this time, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
As for Jiang Wan, she raised her lips with a faint smile, "It's not all for him.
If he and I divorce and remain friends, I will still have to live in Jiuzhou and need the prince's protection.
If he were stronger, it would do more good than harm to me."
Song Jiuyuan, who was riding a horse outside, couldn't help feeling sad when he heard this.
She really thought of all the back-up plans.
Song Jiuli was choked by Jiang Wan, and snorted softly and said, "You have helped him so much, it is only right that he gives back to you."
Jiang Wan: ...
She now felt that the Song family looked at her through a very thick filter, as if everything she did was right.
Just as she was thinking about how to start, she suddenly heard a conversation among the crowd not far away.
"That's the prince and princess. I heard that in order to control Qucheng, he directly killed Magistrate Fu."
"Is this true? The prince is thinking about us and gives us porridge and steamed buns every day."
"My eldest aunt's daughter-in-law's third aunt's daughter works as a maid in the county magistrate's office.
I heard that County Magistrate Fu was unwilling to give up power, so the prince killed him. The porridge was the food allocated by the higher authorities. "
"Oh my God, he is taking human life lightly!"
"He's not a good guy, and he might have some hidden agenda."
"The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken, but he has no good intentions!"
“…”
Everyone was furious when they heard this, and Song Jiuli even wanted to lift the curtain of the carriage and go down to argue with the man.
Jiang Wan was more rational and pulled the person back, "Li'er, what's the point of you talking to them?
This news must have been released by someone else. They are just following the trend and making up stories. If you act more arrogantly now, you might even prove that your brother is oppressing the people."
