Jiang Qingyao returned to Huajianju and rested for a while. Suddenly, a nanny came and asked her to go to Fushengtang, saying that the old lady wanted to see her.
Zhitao grumbled beside her, "How strange! Why would the old lady want to see the young lady? Doesn't she always dislike seeing the young lady?"
Ning muttered softly, "Things are different now. With the return of Marquis Anguo, the young lady's status is no longer the same as before."
Without waiting for the maids to nag, Jiang Qingyao slowly came to Fusheng Hall.
Old Madam Jiang was sitting in the main seat. As soon as she stepped into the door, she saw the old lady waving at her with an unprecedentedly kind expression.
“…”
My grandmother, who was very ill not long ago, looks very energetic today. It is true that people are in high spirits when they are happy.
"Grandma asked me to come here. Is there something wrong?" Jiang Qingyao said indifferently.
Madam Jiang was not affected by her cold temper. She held her hand and said with a smile, "Qingyao, grandma knows that you are a promising child. When you go to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, you will be the mistress of the house. You must be a good wife to the Marquis of Anguo..."
"All the brothers and sisters in the mansion are relying on you."
Jiang Qingyao didn't care much and just nodded slightly. It was nothing more than asking her how to pave the way for her younger brothers' future and find good families for her younger sisters.
At this time, Jiang Yisong heard his mother get up, so he came over to take a look. He happened to see Jiang Qingyao, and his expression also became friendly.
"Qingyao is here too. She knows how to come and see her grandmother. What a filial child."
I don’t know how many years it has been since I heard a word of praise from Jiang Yisong.
It's rare, and it's all thanks to the Marquis of Anguo.
"Father." Jiang Qingyao called out.
"Grandma looks very energetic and will probably recover soon."
After hearing this, Jiang Yisong liked her in every way and the smile on his face became more genuine.
The three of them chatted for a while, and it was unusually warm.
After leaving Fusheng Hall, the smile in Jiang Qingyao's eyes faded, and she slowly said, "They are just stepping stones."
The young ladies in this mansion are all measured in value like commodities. They marry into a good family to benefit the family and pave the way for the young masters.
Whether it is her, Jiang Yunxue, Jiang Shuning, or Jiang Junru, they are just stepping stones for the young masters, using their lifelong happiness to pave the way for Jiang Xize and Jiang Huanming.
Unfortunately, her two younger brothers are useless.
One is cruel and lustful, the other is addicted to gambling.
In Fusheng Hall.
Madam Jiang's expression changed, and she asked worriedly, "Will the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion cancel the engagement?"
"After all, it wasn't Marquis Anguo's own wish. Everyone thought he had an accident, so Madam He arranged the marriage for him."
"Does the Marquis of Anguo really have eyes for the daughter of the Ningyuan Earl's family?"
Marrying a son is very different from marrying a wife yourself. It is already marrying up for Jiang Qingyao to marry the prince, and marrying her to the Marquis of Anguo is just wishful thinking.
If she were still alive, it would never be her turn.
As long as the Marquis of Anguo is willing to marry, even if it is a princess, the emperor will grant him the marriage.
Jiang Yisong also thought of this, and said solemnly, "It's hard to say."
The emperor once wanted to betroth Princess Yongjia to Marquis Anguo, but Marquis Anguo declined on the grounds that he was devoted to the court and had no intention of starting a family. Not only was the emperor not angry, he also rewarded him handsomely.
"The Marquis of Anguo's mansion is flourishing with the emperor's favor. As long as the Marquis of Anguo is here, the mansion will only become more glorious and honorable."
"Marquis Anguo has already reached the position of Second Minister in the Cabinet at such a young age. Given his cunning and ability, the position of First Minister is a piece of cake for him."
"Mother, by then I'll be the Prime Minister's father-in-law. How impressive will that be? Will Xi Ze Huan Ming ever have trouble finding a good official position?"
His eyes were filled with hope and he began to imagine the future.
The prerequisite is that Jiang Qingyao marries the Marquis of Anguo.
This marriage must happen!
At this moment, Jiang Yisong hated Xu and Jiang Yunxue even more. If they disrupted his marriage, he would never let them go.
Madam Jiang took out her handkerchief and coughed a few times, "When Qingyao gets married in the future, ask the Marquis of Anguo to transfer your third brother back to the capital so that our family can be reunited."
There are three branches in the Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion. The first and third branches are both born to Old Madam Jiang, and the second branch is born out of wedlock.
Jiang Yisong's third brother, Jiang Ruhai, is the magistrate of Liuzhou County, a seventh-rank official of low rank. He cannot come home for the New Year every year. Old Lady Jiang has not seen her youngest son for three years and misses him very much.
As for the second wife, that was not within her consideration.
…
Live among flowers.
Uncle Zhang walked over quickly and handed the information he had found about Qin Yurong's life experience to Jiang Qingyao.
"Miss, Qin Yurong's identity is indeed unusual. She is the daughter of Madam Jiang's sixth brother, Master Yang Liu, and a prostitute. That prostitute is also unusual."
Jiang Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly, "Oh?"
"She is the descendant of a criminal."
Jiang Qingyao said with understanding, "No wonder Qin Yurong wanted to hide her identity and stay in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion."
"Although she is the daughter of Master Yang Liu, she is not recognized because her mother is of low status. Now Qin Yurong is not only the daughter of a prostitute, but also the descendant of a criminal. Ordinary people can marry such a person, but wealthy families dare not marry her because it will affect the careers of their children."
"If Qin Yurong doesn't hide her background, she will never get married in her lifetime."
Uncle Zhang continued, "Sixth Master Yang never married and died accidentally falling into the lake, so he naturally couldn't raise Qin Yurong."
"He only has this one bloodline. Even though his identity is despised by others, Old Madam Jiang loves her brother dearly and will not let Qin Yurong wander around. She will always raise her in the mansion as her cousin."
The maids standing by were stunned. They had never expected that such a thing was hidden in the mansion.
Zhi Tao: "Fortunately, the young lady was perceptive and noticed that the cousin's identity was different, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark."
Jiang Qingyao thought about it and came up with an idea. She told Chulu, "Go to the nunnery in person and tell Qin Yurong the news that the prince and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family are about to get married."
"Take some money with you, take care of what you need, and come back quickly."
Chulu nodded heavily, "Yes!"
Finally, she has the chance to show her talents. She must perform well and not let the young lady down.
Jiang Qingyao thought that He Huaixuan probably didn’t know Qin Yurong’s background in his previous life. He was so arrogant, how could he accept her if he knew?
How could he give birth to a child with the daughter of a criminal and a prostitute?
Once exposed, it will become a stain on life and ruin the children's future.
In this life, she would let them be together.
Isn't it true love between two people?
She wanted to see what would happen if Qin Yurong's identity was exposed? How would He Huaixuan treat this woman who had deceived him? Let him also taste the feeling of being deceived.
After a while, the servant came over and reported, "Miss, there is a guest who wants to see you at the side door."
Jiang Qingyao put down the teacup and asked in confusion: "Guest?"
Who's coming to see her?
And instead of going through the main door, they go through the side door. Isn't it shameful for the person to come in?
Soon, she walked out and saw a large and luxurious carriage parked in front of her. The cold and handsome face appeared from the gap in the curtain.
Jiang Qingyao's heart skipped a beat.
He is the Marquis of Anguo.
Is he here to break off the engagement?
