Chapter 48
You have to agree even if you are unwilling
These words made the rage deep in Jiang Zhaoying's heart burst out like a ghost, and the cup almost shattered in her palm.
Mrs. Jiang was confident and resolute.
Because she knows.
As children of aristocratic families, they all shoulder responsibilities and have no choice. For the sake of the family's interests, reputation, and loved ones, they have to endure the pressure and inducement and reluctantly agree even if they don't want to.
They must endure humiliation and clear the obstacles in front of them for those behind them, so that they can move forward with glory!
Jiang Zhaoying felt cold all over, and even the sunlight outside seemed a little dimmer.
If it were someone else, they would have agreed even with tears in their eyes.
But she is not someone else. She has long been heartless and does not intend to live for others.
Meeting Mrs. Jiang's scorching gaze, Jiang Zhaoying was about to speak when a servant came in and bowed.
"Madam, Second Miss, the master is back."
Madam Jiang dropped the cup in her hand, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she spoke hurriedly in a gentle voice to the servants.
"Please come in, sir."
The servant lowered his eyes and replied respectfully.
"The master has gone to the study, please ask the second young lady to come over."
Jiang Zhaoying glanced at Madam Jiang indifferently, then stood up, left the main hall and walked towards the study. Madam Jiang stood at the door, looking at Jiang Zhaoying's back, and the smile on her face disappeared completely.
Jiang Jianzheng sent someone back yesterday to inform her that he would be back early today. She spent some money to let people from the Imperial Observatory detain Jiang Jianzheng.
But the result.
It’s a little late, but it’s such a coincidence that I’m back.
His long fingers gripped the door tightly.
No one can stop her daughter from achieving glory and success, and no one can hinder her daughter's path to a wealthy family.
Gently stroking her belly, Mrs. Jiang's eyes gradually became anxious.
For so many years, she has been trying to get pregnant again, wanting to give birth to a son to inherit the family business, but for some reason, her belly has never been fertile.
I've seen all the doctors and secretly taken all the medicine, but nothing works!
In the study.
The servant helped Jiang Jianzheng change into his casual clothes and said a few words to him before Jiang Zhaoying slowly walked into the courtyard.
Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao were both handsome and elegant, and they were both standing in front of the flowers waiting for her. The study door was open, and Jiang Jian was standing at the door, ready to come out.
Hear a sound.
The three of them raised their eyes at the same time.
Then they saw the beautiful girl in gorgeous clothes walking towards them in the golden light. Jiang Jianzheng's cold eyes softened unconsciously, and Xu Zhiyan and Wei Jiuzhao pursed their lips to welcome her arrival.
"Father, Senior Brother."
Jiang Zhaoying walked forward to greet them with a smile, and Jiang Jianzheng walked forward to help her up. They did not go into the study, but sat down at the jade table in the sun, and asked the servant to bring tea and snacks.
After drinking tea.
Jiang Jianzheng looked at his daughter, whose face was a little pale but pretended to be calm, and sighed softly.
Xu Zhiyan's face also darkened, and even when he lowered his eyes he could not hide his disappointment.
He asked Jiang Zhaoying if she would blame him if he stopped the marriage. When Jiang Zhaoying said no, Xu Zhiyan clearly heard the sound of his heart breaking.
It's not that he hadn't thought about marrying Ying'er, and he was crazy about rushing into the Jiang Mansion to stop the marriage.
But……
Seeing that they all looked gloomy, Wei Jiuzhao put down his teacup and spoke to Jiang Zhaoying.
"It's not that I'm late on purpose. We've been thinking about how to move forward with what you said before."
Jiang Zhaoying blinked her eyelashes and pursed her lips.
She just knew it.
The senior brothers will definitely take what she said to heart.
She said.
If she wanted to divorce, she first had to stand at a certain height so that the emperor could not refute her to a large extent, and even let what she said be the truth.
Jiang Jianzheng nodded.
"Ying'er."
They had been plotting this matter for several days, constantly calculating, evolving, and even speculating on what might happen in the future.
What a pity.
None of them could figure out Jiang Zhaoying's fate, so they had no idea where to start. After discussing it over and over again, they decided to listen to Xu Zhiyan and discuss it with Jiang Zhaoying. Maybe they would find a better solution.
"Ying'er, is it really advisable to push you to a high position?"
As long as the time, place and people are right, it is not difficult for the Imperial Observatory to push someone out. However, the higher you stand, the more people and things you have to face, the greater the responsibility, and the more dangerous it is.
and.
Jiang Zhaoying is better at calculation and prediction than anyone else in the Imperial Observatory, which is a good prerequisite.
"Father, if I continue to stay in the Song Mansion, they will rob me of my money and kill me, leaving me without a burial place. Will you still hesitate?"
Jiang Jianzheng was seriously stunned.
Not surprisingly, Xu Zhiyan's handsome face turned pale, so he spoke urgently in a low voice.
"Ying'er, have you calculated your own fate?"
Jiang Zhaoying shook her head slightly.
"No, but with the Song family's insidiousness and cunningness, what they want in the end should be my dowry and my life. Brother, I don't think there has been any progress on your side."
Xu Zhiyan shook his head.
"The time is too short, and we can't find out anything about the Marquis' Mansion for now."
"Maybe..." Jiang Zhaoying frowned slightly, "You can try to include Patriarch Song in this."
Is that so?
Xu Zhiyan nodded subconsciously, and then spoke to Jiang Jianzheng in a deep voice.
"Master, this is not a good marriage. It is better to divorce than to live a miserable life in the Song Mansion."
Wei Jiuzhao couldn't help but feel deeply regretful when he saw his affectionate look on his face. If it weren't for... those things that bound Xu Zhiyan, perhaps he and Ying'er would have already been married.
Jiang Jianzheng didn't say anything, but his face became increasingly gloomy.
He looked at the plum tree planted by his wife in the distance, was stunned for a while, and finally said in a cold voice.
"good."
With Jiang Jianzheng's consent, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Zhaoying then took out a book of strange stories and turned to one of the pages.
"I have seen all the strange people and events, strange stories, and even ghosts that happened during the reigns of the emperors of Daye. During the reigns of the second and fourth emperors, a goddess and a female imperial teacher appeared in Daye."
goddess?
Female national teacher!
The eyes of several people lit up fiercely. This was a good idea. These two positions were of prominent status and had great say. Even the emperor and the empress dowager might have to listen to it.
"That's a good idea, but how do you push people into this position?"
This method must be good and must convince the public, not only those in the palace, but also the common people. Only in this way can the position be consolidated and not shaken.
Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows.
"I have already cast a stone to test the waters."
Jiang Jianzheng and Wei Jiuzhao looked at him, and he told them about the earthquake in Qingshan Town and how he rescued Princess Tingyun in front of the Crown Prince. Jiang Jianzheng was silent for a long time after hearing this.
"Your mother wanted you to live a carefree and happy life, so I asked her to find a simple, free and leisurely family, but in the end, it didn't go as she wished!"
If you attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you will be involved with him. You can either vote for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or use His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a springboard to leap forward.
But if the latter fails, there will be no way to survive!
"Ying'er, do you want to use His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to escape?"
There was a hint of worry in Jiang Jianzheng's eyes, and Jiang Zhaoying shook her head as she listened.
"The dragon energy on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very overbearing. He is a ruthless master with blood on his hands. It is not a good thing to be his enemy. At least, I cannot act rashly before I figure it out."
The three of them felt their hearts sink as they heard her words.
That being said, it is not ruled out that he wants to become the prince's enemy and step on him to gain the throne!
Jiang Jianzheng brought a cup of tea and looked at his daughter with a lot more scrutiny and caution. He never knew that his daughter's ambition was so big.
but.
That's fine.
When my wife was alive, all she wanted was to use her abilities to change more people and let more people live a better life. Perhaps her last wish can be realized by her daughter.
His wife was so capable that she could even sleep on the same bed with him. Looking at her beautiful face, he felt like he was dreaming.
He doesn't need to take care of the outside business at all.
It has been operating independently for more than ten years without any mistakes.
The second wife tried to reach in countless times but failed. Jiang Jianzheng couldn't help but admire her for this. In his heart, his wife was like a god.
"I have tried to test His Royal Highness the Crown Prince several times. Maybe I can give it a try."
When there was a faint smile on her lips, the sunlight was just bright enough, shining on her porcelain-like face, making her look bright and radiant.
Jiang Jianzheng nodded and then asked her.
"Did you see Madam Jiang when you entered the palace? Did you see Han Yuan?"
Empress Song summoned her to the palace. He asked around but couldn't find out any details. He only knew that there was a fire in Chaoxia Palace and Empress Song was under house arrest for four months.
He was a little skeptical that Jiang Zhaoying had no hand in this.
This process must have been thrilling. Jiang Jianzheng felt scared just thinking about it. He never showed his feelings when he was touching people, but Jiang Zhaoying had the same personality as her mother. She liked to do it openly and she liked to do it alone.
"No, I deliberately didn't go to see them, but I wrote to my aunt and told her some things, and she did what I asked."
"Ying'er."
Jiang Jianzheng loosened his hand and the coin fell on the table. Jiang Zhaoying knew whose fate he was calculating at a glance. A chill flashed across her face and she clenched the coin tightly in her hand.
"No, this time, I won't let anything happen to them."
"Father, Senior Brother."
Jiang Zhaoying raised her cold eyes, and a domineering aura suddenly lingered around her.
"Call it destiny or fate, but there are four words you must not forget."
Xu Zhiyan listened and the haze in the depths of his eyes suddenly dissipated, as if all the depression accumulated over the years was shattered by her. He lowered his eyes and said coldly.
"That's right, man can conquer nature!"
Jiang Jianzheng and Wei Jiuzhao felt as if they had suddenly become enlightened after listening to it. With a wry smile, Wei Jiuzhao picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Zhaoying then continued.
"Whether you are a minister or a son, no matter what role you play, I always think that succumbing to fate and rules is called foolish loyalty and filial piety. Even if you don't like it, you have to cater to the etiquette around you, consider the interests of the family, and sacrifice yourself to fulfill others. It is just cowardice. No one is willing to sacrifice themselves to fulfill others. Everyone wants to live a good life."
"Father."
Jiang Zhaoying raised her eyes, her eyes were slightly moist, and she suddenly choked up.
"Let's sever our father-daughter relationship!"
