Chapter 523: Hurry, refuse it!
Jiang Wan was shocked by Mrs. Xu's request, then frowned and said:
"Since you plan to give birth to the baby, does it matter whether it's a boy or a girl?"
She felt a little uncomfortable. Doesn't this behavior favor boys over girls?
"That's certainly different."
Mrs. Xu was shocked by what she blurted out, but she quickly adjusted her mood.
"I need to prepare small clothes. The clothes for boys and girls are different."
Knowing that the other party was covering up, Jiang Wan didn't want to be too blunt and just said:
"You are still young, I can't tell."
You can tell she can't read it either.
Perhaps she could see that Jiang Wan was a little unhappy, so Mrs. Xu smiled and explained:
"Ningyan has no brothers to support her. Her father and I have raised her to be a bit spoiled. I am also afraid that no one will protect her a hundred years from now."
"If Xu Ningyan had married earlier, the child she gave birth to would probably be about the same age as her younger brothers and sisters."
The so-called mutual support is probably fake, and I'm afraid Xu Ningyan is just taking care of her younger siblings.
Madam Xu was speechless and a little annoyed by what Jiang Wan said, but she was the apple of the prince's eye, so Madam Xu did not dare to offend her.
I had no choice but to stand up and say, "Sorry to bother you Miss Jiang, I have something else to do at home, I'll leave first."
Yue Jixu, who was standing at the side, helped Madam Xu up. Not daring to meet Jiang Wan's gaze, they left in a hurry.
Qiu Niang curled her lips and said, "Miss, if it weren't for the prince's status, she would have been dissatisfied a long time ago."
"It's good to see her this time, so she won't be thinking about me all the time."
Jiang Wan was happier than anyone else to have gotten rid of a trouble. She even ate an extra bowl of dinner.
When Fuling came back in the evening, Jiang Wan specifically asked Fuling how she felt.
Fuling, who is usually very quiet and aloof, spoke a lot of words from his heart, and concluded:
"Uncle Junior, it turns out that studying medicine is not just about treating patients and saving lives. If Master knew that I can be a female teacher now.
I'm sure they will be very pleased, as it can be regarded as promoting the medical skills of our Medicine King Valley."
"Just be happy doing it."
Jiang Wan was also satisfied. She asked Qiu Niang to prepare a lot of gifts and planned to invite several medical masters to teach her personally.
But this matter cannot be rushed, as it is not so easy for a skilled doctor to come out.
Jiang Wan considered a lot of things, and Qiu Niang's execution ability was quite good.
At that time, news came that Jiang Wei was ill, and the doctor said it was due to acclimatization.
Jiang Wei's illness is not serious, but it is not easy either. He is too weak to get out of bed.
However, Song Jiuyuan understood that this was Jiang Wan's work.
"He saw you before he returned home, so I guessed something."
There was no blame in Song Jiuyuan's tone, he just said with a frown.
"I can think of it, and Jiang Wei can definitely think of it too. You should be more cautious recently.
Otherwise I should move in. He is still somewhat afraid of me."
"I just want him to know it was me."
Jiang Wan blinked her eyes playfully, "Let him be afraid of me and don't mess with me."
"You."
Song Jiuyuan said in a doting tone, "Jiang Wei is a sinister and cunning man, don't underestimate him."
"No."
The image of the original owner being trampled on the ground became clearer and clearer in Jiang Wan's mind. How could she easily bypass Jiang Wei?
As she was talking, Qiu Niang came running in with a complicated expression on her face, "Miss, the prefect sent a lot of gifts with great fanfare."
"What does he want to do?"
Jiang Wan's good mood instantly fell to the bottom, Qiu Niang whispered:
"Girl, you should go ahead and take a look."
"I'll go with you."
Song Jiuyuan took Jiang Wan's hand and calmed her somewhat irritable mood.
"We have to figure out his purpose."
"You are right."
Jiang Wan strode into the front hall and saw the yard filled with gifts.
At this time, the gate of her mansion was filled with people watching the fun.
"Why did the prefect give so many gifts to the future princess? Is he trying to please the prince?!"
"You don't know this, right? This new prefect is the brother of the future princess."
"So the prefect is the prince's brother-in-law, so they are not in cahoots with each other, right?"
“…”
Look at what he is saying. Jiang Wan doesn't believe it without Jiang Wei's input.
It seems that Jiang Wei has grown a lot since she left Beijing for many years.
"Girl, what should I do?"
Qiu Niang looked at the dozens of large boxes on the ground with embarrassment. There was a servant standing outside the door carrying boxes.
The housekeeper brought by Jiang Wei said to Jiang Wan in a flattering manner: "Miss.
These are the eldest son's gifts, which he said would be used as compensation for your dowry."
He didn't dare to look at Song Jiuyuan's cold eyes, and he probably didn't expect Song Jiuyuan to be here with Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan said to Song Jiuyuan beside her with a smile: "Look, I didn't do this much when I married you."
"Wanwan, I will prepare more when we get married."
Song Jiuyuan's implication was naturally for Jiang Wan to refuse.
But when she met Jiang Weijian's expectant eyes, Jiang Wan understood.
Giving gifts is not like Jiang Wei's character. He made such a big fuss about it, it was obvious that he was just trying to create momentum.
But she had just poisoned him yesterday, so he was sure she wouldn't accept it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan sighed slightly and said to the housekeeper:
"I really didn't expect that my brother still cared about me so much. It was my fault for not letting him in yesterday."
Housekeeper: !!!
So you're planning on accepting a gift?
The housekeeper was confused and immediately said, "Brothers and sisters don't hold grudges overnight.
The eldest son was always worried that you would blame him because of your relatives in Kyoto, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady would be so understanding."
Come on, refuse it.
This way, you can save the eldest son's face without being too embarrassed.
However, what Jiang Wan disliked most was playing by the rules. She said with a smile:
"Since this is what Big Brother wants, I naturally can't refuse."
Everyone: ???
Song Jiuyuan didn't understand, but he didn't ask any further questions. He knew that Jiang Wan must have her reasons for doing this.
The housekeeper is about to cry!
If Miss Jiang really accepted the gift, how would he explain it to Jiang Wei?
"The eldest lady and the eldest son have a deep brother-sister relationship..."
"That's right. Even if you break a bone, the tendons are still connected."
Jiang Wan nodded seriously and said to Song Jiuyuan on the side:
"Although I have severed my relationship with the Shangshu Mansion, my eldest brother is still my eldest brother, and we cannot generalize."
"What Wanwan said makes sense."
Song Jiuyuan's expression was full of approval, and he said to Song Yi behind him:
"Go and help carry the things in."
Housekeeper: !!!
His eyebrows jumped, and he was thinking about how to stop it, Jiang Wan whispered:
"Wait."
The butler breathed a sigh of relief, but it turned out that he was too happy too early.
Because Jiang Wan said excitedly: "Brother cares about me so much, it must have taken a lot of effort to send these gifts.
In fact, the thought is good enough. How about this, I will pick out some valuable things for the housekeeper to take back."
After saying that, Qiu Niang received the look from her and immediately went to lift the wooden box.
Housekeeper: !!!
