Jiang Qingyao shook her head. "I didn't hit him. If he had tried to hit me, I would have run away. I wouldn't have stood there and let him beat and scold me."
He Zheng: "The reputation of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was ruined by you."
Jiang Qingyao admitted generously: "Yeah."
He Zheng didn't say anything.
It was late at night and the wind was a bit strong.
There was someone waiting for him behind him. He Zheng asked someone to take the cloak and cover Jiang Qingyao with it, then told the groom, "Send Miss Jiang back to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion."
Jiang Qingyao couldn't help but think that Marquis Anguo was quite considerate.
She went back in the carriage of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion. When Jiang Yisong heard the servant's report, he immediately came out angrily with a whip in his hand.
He asked someone to keep a close eye on her and tell him that if Jiang Qingyao came back, he would teach her a lesson.
Seeing the wide dark purple cloak on Jiang Qingyao, Jiang Yisong's pupils shrank, and he looked at the carriage behind her.
He asked in a deep voice, "Did you meet the Marquis of Anguo?"
Jiang Qingyao: "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yisong's hand holding the whip dropped, and he could no longer whip him.
Marquis Anguo gave her a cloak and sent her back to the mansion in a carriage. Wasn't this a warning to him not to touch her?
If he really hit Jiang Qingyao, it would be a slap in the face of Marquis Anguo. The Marquis's anger was not something that a poor earl like him could bear.
Jiang Yisong still has this self-awareness.
After much thought, he regretfully suppressed his anger and let Jiang Qingyao go back.
What Jiang Yisong could think of, Jiang Qingyao naturally thought of as well. The Marquis of Anguo was really reliable. This thought flashed through her mind.
If she had met Marquis Anguo instead of He Huaixuan in her previous life, it is hard to imagine how happy her life would have been?
Those seven years were ultimately wasted.
Jiang Qingyao felt it wasn't worth it when she thought about how she had wasted seven years on a scumbag and even lost her life.
Ruyi Restaurant, private room on the third floor.
The person who came happened to be Jiang Yisong's immediate superior, the Minister of Works. He had just seen that Marquis Anguo was quite affectionate towards the eldest daughter of Earl Ningyuan, and he began to weigh his thoughts in his mind.
"There's a vacant position for a Deputy Director in the Ministry of Works. What do you think of Jiang Yisong, Lord He?"
He Zheng had no expression on his face, his voice frosty: "Mediocre."
“…”
Everyone present was a smart person, especially those who held the position of Shangshu, so they naturally knew what to do.
Before going to bed, Zhitao dried Jiang Qingyao's hair and said, "The Marquis is so kind to the young lady."
"Yeah." Jiang Qingyao was drowsy.
The Anguo Marquis's Mansion was in its heyday, and the Anguo Marquis had been rewarded many times. He was not after her family background and wealth, nor was he after her beauty because she had a hidden illness.
Because she was his wife-to-be, Marquis Anguo took care of her in every way and was attentive and considerate.
In addition, he is both talented and handsome. Such a person is good in every way.
"The Marquis is a man of noble character."
As she spoke, she crawled into bed and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Jiang Yisong couldn't help but stab Jiang Qingyao when he saw her.
"Your grandmother is so angry that she's sick, and you still have the mood to eat? You should be kneeling by her bedside now!"
Xu also lectured her, "Yes, Qingyao, the foolish things you did have put our Ningyuan Marquisate on the fire. You have ruined the reputation of the Ningyuan Marquisate."
"Your grandmother vomited blood yesterday. Qingyao, you are being extremely unfilial. I think you should stop eating and go take care of your grandmother."
"Poor mother, at her old age, she has to be tormented like this by you." Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears.
Jiang Yunxue: "Big sister wants to anger grandma to death."
The fire in Jiang Yisong's heart burned again.
Jiang Qingyao exuded laziness as she took a bite of the bun in her hand and said, "Look at what you're saying. Grandmother is just ill for a while, not dying. Why are you all saying such unlucky things?"
"What do you mean by being mad at me and making me sick? If grandma had a more broad mind, she wouldn't have gotten so angry over such a small matter."
"You're already old, but you're still arguing with a junior like me. You're really regressing."
"But Grandmother's character isn't without merit. At least she knows shame and that having a sense of shame is a good thing. If any other elder had brought the family's reputation to ruin, they would have been hanged long ago."
"Grandma still cherishes her life."
“…”
Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded by her words.
His words were blunt and harsh, mocking Mrs. Jiang for her narrow-mindedness that led to her illness, and her shamelessness in not caring about the reputation of the family, and her greed for survival and lack of responsibility.
According to what she said, the reputation of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion has been ruined. As the instigator, Old Madam Jiang should hang herself now!
Jiang Yisong flipped the table and roared, "How dare you!"
"We have spoiled and indulged you too much in the past. Jiang Qingyao, you are really arrogant and lawless."
Jiang Qingyao was already full at this moment, and slowly turned around, "I'm full, you guys take your time eating."
From beginning to end, he turned a deaf ear to Jiang Yisong's angry roar and ignored him.
Jiang Xize's face turned pale. What are they eating? The food is all spilled on the ground. Do you want them to lie down and lick it?
Jiang Yisong's eyes were cold and stern.
Regret, he really regretted it.
Back then, I didn't burn Jiang Qingyao, the troublemaker, to death because of the engagement. I should have killed her earlier. Why did all these problems come about?
Can she still stand here and challenge his authority?
The marriage contract was made by the old marquis and the old uncle ten years ago. The old marquis specifically wanted Jiang Qingyao and no one else.
Jiang Qingyao was only six years old at that time.
No one knows why she was designated, and I'm afraid we can only ask the deceased old marquis.
Xu said embarrassedly, "My husband, unless the Marquis of Anguo dislikes her, we have no way to teach her a lesson."
Jiang Yisong had a gloomy face and stared at Jiang Qingyao's back as she left without saying a word.
At noon, Xi Feng came to Jiang Qingyao's house and brought her something - the Holy Martial Whip.
The emperor's bestowal, except for the emperor, cannot be resisted or blamed even if it is given to royal relatives, nobles, civil and military officials. Otherwise, it would be a contempt for the emperor's majesty and disobedience to the emperor.
Jiang Qingyao was stunned. "With this thing, can't I just beat anyone I want? Lord, are you so confident? Aren't you worried that I might do something wrong?"
Xi Feng scratched his head and said, "Since the master gave this thing to Miss Jiang, it is natural for Miss Jiang to make the decision."
Jiang Qingyao thought, Marquis Anguo gave her this thing because he was worried that her father would beat her?
A gift from the emperor... The emperor actually gave the Marquis of Anguo the Holy Martial Whip. Who does he want him to whip?
Jiang Qingyao couldn't help but think of her previous life, when Marquis Anguo died unexpectedly. During that time, Emperor Jinde fell seriously ill and did not attend court for seven consecutive days.
On the day when Marquis Anguo's empty coffin was buried, it was heard that Emperor Jinde was crying bitterly while touching the coffin.
Later, Emperor Jinde cleaned up many people, including some from the Wei family, a century-old aristocratic family, which shocked the government and the country.
Through these events, she got a glimpse of the relationship between Emperor Jinde and Marquis Anguo, which seemed to be more than just a monarch and his subject.
…
"This jade pendant actually belongs to the royal family." Jiang Yunxue was delighted when she heard the news. "Could that person really be a member of the royal family?!"
Then it is not a dream for her to step on Jiang Qingyao.
