Let Mrs. Jiang know that the third son of the Jiang family and Yan Yiming are not a good match, and that the daughter of the Zhou family and the third son of the Jiang family are a match made in heaven. Delay the imminent engagement and make time for the third son of the Jiang family and the daughter of the Zhou family to get to know each other better. Then, seize the opportunity to finalize the deal and tie the two together firmly, leaving them no chance to regret.
Not only did he ruin the marriage, but he also removed the Jiang family, who had deliberately concealed the matter, from the matter. This was killing two birds with one stone, without leaving a single stone unturned.
No one from either the Jiang family or the Jiang family would suspect anything. Even if they did, they would only suspect the beneficiary, which is the Zhou family.
Although the reputation of the Zhou family girl was damaged, it was the third son of the Jiang family who made the mistake first. The Zhou family was wealthy, but their official positions were not even comparable to those of the Jiang family. But now the Zhou family girl can smoothly marry the third son of the Jiang family. There are gains and losses. Now Mrs. Zhou is smiling from ear to ear in private.
Jiang Yi sat leisurely in the pavilion in the garden sipping tea. The maids were walking around, which was not quiet and even a bit noisy, but Jiang Yi, who usually liked quietness, did not find it noisy.
The maids were undoubtedly talking about the young master of the Jiang family's misconduct. He was clearly about to get engaged to the young lady, but he made such a mistake.
The Jiang family was wrong and the Jiang family was wronged. What will they do if their daughter can't get married in the future?
Everyone else shook their heads, sighed, and walked away.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and stroked the edge of the cup with his slender fingers until he finished the tea, then he stood up and left.
Yan Yiming was not at her own residence at the moment, but at Mrs. Jiang's place. After the incident, the Jiang family was in the wrong first, so Mrs. Jiang brought the third son of the Jiang family to personally apologize.
Mrs. Jiang was so disappointed with her son that she scolded him for a long time, and the third son of the Jiang family looked a little dispirited.
He drank too much that day and didn't remember clearly what happened, but when he sobered up, things had already turned out like this.
Before he met Yan Yiming, Mr. Jiang San was already prepared to marry the girl from the Zhou family, but later something happened and his fate with Miss Zhou was severed. He already felt a little indebted to Miss Zhou, and now that this had happened, he felt even more ashamed. Although he still liked Yan Yiming, things had come to this point and he had no choice but to marry Miss Zhou. When he thought of this, Young Master Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red.
Especially after Yan Yiming entered the room, Mr. Jiang's eyes were fixed on Yan Yiming and he was reluctant to look away. He only caught a glimpse of her from afar that day, but now it was the first time he saw her so closely and found that she was even more beautiful than he remembered.
Young Master Jiang wanted to say something, but when he met Yan Yiming's cold gaze, he looked away guiltily.
In fact, he felt sorry for Yan Yiming, but it was too late now.
No matter how angry Mrs. Jiang was, her attitude was sincere, and the third son of the Jiang family was still full of love when looking at his daughter. Mrs. Jiang could not say anything angry. No matter how sad or angry she was, she could only swallow it silently.
After seeing off Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang San, Mrs. Jiang couldn't control her tears and cried while hugging her daughter.
"My poor son, how could you have encountered such a thing..."
Her daughter had been waiting for two years and finally got a good marriage, but now it was gone. No matter how much apology the Jiang family sent or how many faults they had committed, it would not matter; her poor child's marriage, which was about to be arranged, was still gone.
What will A Ming do in the future?
She might be scolded by Old Madam Jiang and ridiculed by Second Madam Jiang again. Mrs. Jiang felt distressed just thinking about it.
The maids around couldn't help sobbing for a moment. They were all used to serving Madam Jiang, so how could they not understand Madam Jiang's feelings.
Yan Yiming, who probably guessed the reason, couldn't cry. He could only comfort Mrs. Jiang in a gentle voice, but his mind was elsewhere.
She knew Jiang Yi would definitely do something, but she never thought that he was only a teenager and his methods were so cruel.
How did he know that Miss Zhou was interested in Mr. Jiang San, and how did he find a situation where Mr. Jiang San and Miss Zhou were present at the same time and there were other witnesses. Was this his sole responsibility, or did he collude with the Zhou family?
Yan Yiming had no way of knowing either.
I'm used to seeing him smiling innocently all the time, but this is the first time I've seen his true methods.
No wonder he could climb to a position above everyone else at the age of just 30. How could such a person be simple? The officialdom is where one can lose one's life if one is not careful. Compared to the officialdom, today's incident is just a simple little scene.
Jiang Yi's move now completely severed the relationship between the Jiang and Jiang families. Even if the Third Young Master Jiang still had feelings for him, it was of no use.
Finally, when Mrs. Jiang calmed down and fell asleep, Yan Yiming tiptoed away from Mrs. Jiang. As soon as he came out, he met Mr. Jiang who had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw her come out, even Mr. Jiang sighed and closed his eyes.
After a long while, he finally comforted Yan Yiming with a sentence that he was not good at comforting, "You and Mr. Jiang may not be destined to be together. You... don't have to be sad."
"My daughter is not sad," Yan Yiming said, "Today is the first time I met Mr. Jiang. I don't have any feelings for him so I am not sad. Since we are not destined to be together, I will wait until the right time comes. If I really can't marry..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
He was interrupted by Master Jiang, "Daddy will definitely find a good marriage for you. You've been tired all day, go back and rest. I'll go see your mother."
Yan Yiming nodded, stood up and left. Master Jiang looked at his daughter's slowly leaving figure, then covered his eyes with his hands and sat there for a long time without moving.
The good marriage that Old Lady Jiang had been bragging about for almost a month was gone. She said it was not because Yan Yiming was not ambitious but because Mr. Jiang was immoral. However, the duck flew away and Old Lady Jiang was still so angry that she didn't eat all night.
Mrs. Jiang Er had been ashamed for nearly a month. When she heard about such a happy event, she immediately brought her daughter to visit the Jiang Mansion. When she heard that Mrs. Jiang was sick and could not see anyone, she was disappointed and could only go to Mrs. Jiang. She looked heartbroken and said, "Oh, I feel sorry for my niece. The marriage that was promised to her is gone in the blink of an eye."
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she said she had a headache and drove Mrs. Jiang out.
Mrs. Jiang was not at all annoyed when she was kicked out. She took her daughter around the Jiang Mansion with a smile on her face and then left with great satisfaction.
Everyone in the Jiang residence was dejected, except for two people, no, it should be three people, who had different ideas.
In addition to Yan Yiming and Jiang Yi, there was Lan Xiu who had caught Jiang Yi a few days ago. Since that day, Lan Xiu had roughly guessed what the young master would do, until today, when Lan Xiu suddenly understood.
But he was also frightened and a little dazed.
Lan Xiu was a little skeptical that this was the work of the young master. After all, he was only in his teens and a powerless and helpless boy. How could he have such great ability?
But it has become like this. Lan Xiu hesitated all the way, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, dismissed the other maids around her and Yan Yiming, and said, "Miss, I have something...I want to tell you."
Before he finished speaking, someone slowly approached from the front. They both looked up. Jiang Yi was stepping on the stars. The night was already dark, and their eyes could not clearly see his expression.
Lan Xiu's heart sank, and she looked at Jiang Yi getting closer and closer, and her voice stuttered, "Young... Young Master..."
"I need to talk to your young lady sometimes, you go down first," Jiang Yi said, his eyes fixed on Yan Yiming's face.
Lan Xiu bit her lip, looked back and forth between Yan Yiming and Jiang Yi somewhat uneasily, and finally bowed and retreated to a distance.
Yan Yiming could roughly guess what Jiang Yi would say, but logically she should know nothing. She didn't know that Jiang Yi liked her, nor did she know what Jiang Yi had done.
However, since he had lost his hard-earned "good marriage" today, Yan Yiming still tried to make himself look more obviously sad or disappointed. After adjusting his expression, he glanced at Jiang Yi and said with a forced smile, "You usually study, so how come you have time to wander around outside today? Have you had dinner?"
"I have used it." Jiang Yi's eyes were still fixed on her face. The dusk was getting darker, but he could still see the fatigue in her expression. Jiang Yi didn't know whether the mood that rose up in an instant was anger or nervousness. He walked a little closer and said, "Mr. Jiang is going to marry Miss Zhou. Are you disappointed?"
"Disappointed?" Yan Yiming repeated the word, "Of course I am disappointed."
Jiang Yi's breathing quickened.
Yan Yiming pretended not to see anything and continued, "I am eighteen now. All the sisters of my age have married without exception. My grandmother complains about me every day, my mother eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha for me, and my father's hair has turned white because of me. I thought they could finally fulfill their wishes, but it was still in vain. With hope, how can we not be disappointed?"
"What about you?" Jiang Yi looked at her. "You lost a good marriage. Are you disappointed?"
Yan Yiming chuckled, looked at him for a long time, and then sighed, "Everyone thinks I'm pitiful for losing a good husband, but no one has ever asked me how I feel. I've gotten used to it."
The moon was slightly chilly at night, making Yan Yiming's already icy voice even more emotionless.
"Ever since I was old enough to understand, my grandmother has said that I was born to lose money and no one would want me in the future. I didn't understand at the time and just felt angry. Later, I gradually understood that I was in poor health and would not live long. Which family would dare to marry such a girl? Since I came of age, my mother has started to inquire for me, but after three years of inquiries, there is still no result. So even this time, I don't feel that much of a surprise, I have long been accustomed to it. In this world, no one will marry me..."
"Yes," Jiang Yi interrupted her.
Yan Yiming laughed, "Why are you the same as daddy? Okay, okay, yes, it's just that the fate has not come yet. Sooner or later, someone will..."
Jiang Yi reached out and pressed her shoulders. The young man was now much taller than Yan Yiming. He looked down at her but was also very close to her. His deep eyes under the moonlight contained endless affection.
Perhaps it was because the night was too gentle, even Jiang Yi's tone and expression at this moment seemed particularly gentle. He said,
"I will marry you."
