"The eldest daughter of the Jiang family gave it to me."
There was a barely perceptible hint of pride in He Huaixuan's tone.
A voice sounded in his mind: His father took his wife away, his father could only get her body, but her heart was firmly with him.
He Zheng's face was calm, like the still ocean.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
The servant came over and said, "Master, these things are not for you. They are given to you by the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."
He Huaixuan's mind buzzed, and he blurted out: "How is it possible?!"
All the surprises turned into disappointment and irritation.
Coming back to his senses and realizing his loss of composure, He Huaixuan's face turned pale again and he looked at his father.
He Zheng's expression was so indifferent that others couldn't detect his emotions at all.
However, he had one hand behind his back, and his indifferent stare at him made people hold their breath unconsciously.
The servant was embarrassed and took the thing from He Huaixuan's hand. "It's absolutely true. The eldest lady of the Jiang family also said to convey it on my behalf. Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the gift of medicine."
With empty hands, He Huaixuan felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out.
Empty and chilly.
It feels like something important is lost.
He was embarrassed and flustered, "Father, it seems I misunderstood."
He Zheng said coldly: "Huaixuan, you act so recklessly and don't know how to measure yourself. Do you know your mistake?"
He Huaixuan lowered his head and said, "My son knows his mistake and will never make it again."
"Jiang Qingyao will be your mother from now on. Don't bother her unless necessary."
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for an hour to reflect."
After saying some harsh words, He Zheng walked away.
As they passed by each other, He Huaixuan smelled a clear and light scent, which was exactly the same as the aroma of calming tea!
My heart was shaken.
He stood there with a frozen expression.
Jiang Qingyao actually remembered her father's scent and even mixed it into the fragrance of calming tea. Did she really fall in love with her father?
He Huaixuan looked horrified and ran back to his yard, smashing the inkstone on the table.
This is the precious inkstone given to him by Jiang Qingyao.
"You are so flattering, Jiang Qingyao, clinging to the powerful and wealthy, and greedy for glory..."
"You think only your father can give you wealth and glory? So you kicked me out without mercy?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Even if she is fickle and wants to fall in love with other men, he will never let her go!
"Since we were husband and wife in our previous life, we must continue our relationship in this life. Jiang Qingyao, I will definitely be entangled with you endlessly."
He Huaixuan's blood boiled, his eyes were filled with anger, and he felt an unprecedented betrayal.
Soon, a servant came to inform him and asked him to kneel in the ancestral hall.
He Huaixuan clenched his fists, burning with anger. He became the first prince of the Anguo Marquisate to kneel in the ancestral hall, which was a great shame and humiliation.
This kind of humiliation was brought to him by Jiang Qingyao. It was she who caused him to fall into this state.
He remembered all of these and would slowly settle them later.
Kneeling in front of his ancestors, He Huaixuan's mind was full of how to punish Jiang Qingyao in the future and how to make her regret it.
…
When the news of the Crown Prince being punished reached the first and second wives, they had different thoughts.
"Third brother used to be strict with Huaixuan, but he never punished him like this. Today, he made Huaixuan kneel in the ancestral hall for the sake of the little girl from the Jiang family. Why does third brother care so much about her?"
"Or maybe the problem isn't with that girl at all. Is it Huaixuan's recent performance that has disappointed Third Brother? Are you using this as a warning to discipline him?"
Li became more active. The eldest wife had two sons. If He Zheng was extremely disappointed with his stepson He Huaixuan, he might want to establish another heir.
The eldest wife can adopt a son to the third wife to inherit the title.
Mrs. Li took a deep breath and said, "But I can't bear to let Ruichen become someone else's son."
Not to mention the second branch, which only has one son, He Hanxian, so it is impossible for him to be adopted. Unless Marquis Anguo does not mind whether he is his son in name or not and still appoints the crown prince as the heir, they still have a chance.
While He Huaixuan was still angry and embarrassed, everyone had already started to think about changing the crown prince.
On the other side, after Jiang Qingyao left the Anguo Marquis Mansion, she arrived at a farm halfway up the mountain in the west of the city and saw a desolate and overgrown scene.
She smiled brightly, "Just as I expected."
Zhitao looked at her blankly and confusedly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Ning asked tentatively, "Miss, do you want to buy this farm?"
Jiang Qingyao: "Yes."
In the previous life, this place was bought by a businessman named Wu, who accidentally discovered that there were hot springs here, so he transformed it into a hot spring resort villa, specifically to make money from princes and nobles.
Jiang Qingyao had been here once and it was indeed a good place. The village at the foot of the mountain also grew fresh fruits and vegetables for supply.
There are fresh fruits and vegetables, hot springs, and a horse farm not far away. It is simply a natural holiday resort.
She thought that at this time, this place was still an abandoned farm and no one cared about it, so she came over to take a look.
It is true.
Jiang Qingyao found the owner of the manor and negotiated the price with him, who asked for eight thousand taels.
Jiang Qingyao curled the corners of her lips slightly, said nothing, and left.
Chu Lu couldn't help but say, "Miss, eight thousand taels is too much. This place is so desolate, and the farm has been abandoned for many years. Giving him five thousand taels is too much."
"No." Jiang Qingyao said softly, "I will only pay two thousand taels."
Maids: “…” The young lady knows how to bargain.
Return to Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion.
Jiang Qingyao was not idle either. She asked Ma Liu to help her contact her third cousin.
"How is your mother?"
"Thank you Miss Qingyao for your concern. My mother is in much better health. If it weren't for Miss Qingyao's kindness, if I had delayed any longer, my mother's eyes might not be saved." Ma Liu lowered his head slightly, his cheeks still thin, and he never dared to look at Jiang Qingyao.
