Chapter 108 Not as important as Xue'er
Jiang Xue was puzzled when she heard Shen's distressed voice.
"But no matter how good my husband is, what's the use?"
"My daughter is a sinner. She doesn't even like such a good family. I asked her to meet the family these days, but she refused to see them. Later, she even refused to let me enter her own room. If my father-in-law hadn't woken up today and called her over, she would have made up her mind not to see me, her mother."
Jiang Xue was about to say something to comfort her when she suddenly heard Lu Qiongshuang's voice coming from outside the house, each voice louder than the last.
"cousin--"
She strode into the hall in a hurry. When she saw Shen, the happy expression on her face suddenly froze, and then she lowered her mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Mother, how are you?"
Shen glared at her and said, "Are you willing to come out to see me yourself?"
"I'm here to see my cousin." Lu Qiongshuang retorted with a pout.
Shen's eyebrows were raised in anger. She was about to get angry, but when she stood up, she glanced at Jiang Xue who was standing aside without any expression. She could only say angrily, "Even if it's like this, why are you asking me to be at peace? How can I be at peace?"
Lu Qiongshuang looked gloomy and obviously didn't want to argue with Shen. She just let her scold her for a few words before looking at Jiang Xue for help.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue also stood up and said to Shen: "Qiong Shuang is just a child, so there is no need for Aunt to be angry with her. You have been working hard these days, go and rest first."
Shen looked at Lu Qiongshuang, sighed again, walked to Jiang Xue and whispered, "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to help me comfort this girl."
Jiang Xue nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, aunt."
Shen bowed gratefully to Jiang Xue, then reluctantly walked past Lu Qiongshuang and left.
Seeing Shen go far away, Lu Qiongshuang raised his drooping head and smiled brightly at Jiang Xue. He then hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in her ear:
"Cousin, I found the person for you."
Jiang Xue sighed, took Lu Qiongshuang's hand and sat down, and said earnestly: "Tell me the truth, what are your plans for this marriage?"
Lu Qiongshuang curled her lips and said, "What can I plan? Anyway, I don't want to get married."
"I know you don't want to," Jiang Xue said, "but you have to tell me what you are going to do."
Lu Qiongshuang panicked and said, "What should I do..."
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Are you planning to run away from home, or are you going to do something earth-shattering again?"
"Cousin," Lu Qiongshuang sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you. If my mother and the others insist on arranging a marriage for me, I will pack up and go back to the East China Sea as soon as my grandfather gets better."
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is that all?"
Lu Qiongshuang looked up at Jiang Xue, then lowered his eyes, looking at her nose and her heart, and stammered, "Okay... I was planning to go over to the house and beat up those young masters in the next few days..."
Jiang Xue sneered. Jing Ye was right. No one else had to worry about her being imprisoned. It was good enough for her to not put others in jail.
Seeing that Lu Qiongshuang really had this idea, Jiang Xue couldn't help but warn him.
"I've said it before. This is the capital. It's not like the East Sea. You can do whatever you want," Jiang Xue said. "The power of the rich and powerful in the capital is complicated. You are not only the granddaughter of the prime minister, but also the niece of your mother. Your every move not only represents yourself, but also the attitude of the queen's mother's family. Don't act rashly and impulsively. Don't offend the noble ministers. Who will come to clean up your mess?"
Lu Qiongshuang lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing that she was depressed, Jiang Xue continued, "I know what you are thinking, and I won't make things difficult for you by asking you to get married. I am saying this just to make you more sensible. The current situation in the capital is not as simple and harmonious as you think. You can just hold off for now, and come with me to the palace to see my mother in a few days, and then find a reason to bring you to my side first, so that they can't disobey my mother's order."
Lu Qiongshuang was more excited and said, "Since my aunt and cousin are helping me, I don't have to work hard. I originally thought that the others were easy to deal with, but I didn't know if I could defeat General Zheng. Now it's all right, and I don't have to worry about this anymore."
Jiang Xue stretched out her finger and poked her forehead, saying, "You."
She asked again, "You said someone had found it for me, where is it?"
Lu Qiongshuang said mysteriously, "It's impossible that he is in the Prime Minister's residence. Cousin, find an excuse to follow me back to the courtyard, and I will take you out of the house to see him."
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "I haven't seen my grandfather yet today. Your mother has already sent someone to tell him to come with me. Come and wait."
Lu Qiongshuang nodded obediently in agreement and sat down to wait with Jiang Xue.
Soon, the old servant beside Lu Xiang came to the main hall to invite Jiang Xue over.
Jiang Xue stood up and asked Fu Dong to tidy up her appearance, then followed everyone to Lu Xiang's house.
As soon as you enter the door, the strong smell of medicine hits you.
Jiang Xue frowned and looked inside, and saw that Lu Xiang was already dressed neatly, sitting in a recliner, leaning slightly against the armrest.
She hurried over and said, "Grandfather, why is he getting up from the bed instead of resting properly?"
Lu Xiangnian was already in his seventies, his old face was covered with wrinkles like ravines, his gray hair was combed neatly and meticulously, he was wearing a dark green suit, and perhaps because he was ill, he looked thinner than before.
When Prime Minister Lu saw Jiang Xue, a kind look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly stood up and bowed, saying seriously: "A gentleman should dress properly and look at others with respect. Moreover, Your Highness is the king and I am the minister, so I should dress neatly before meeting Your Highness."
Jiang Xue quickly reached out and helped Lu Xiang sit down, saying, "You are my grandfather, and I am your granddaughter. We are the closest blood relatives. Why do we have to care about these things every time? You drag your sick body and work so hard, doesn't it make me feel even worse?"
Lu Xiang looked at Jiang Xue and smiled lovingly, saying, "Grandfather is much better now, Xue'er, don't worry too much."
Jiang Xue had someone bring a footstool over, sat next to Lu Xiang, held his knees and said coquettishly: "Xue'er was frightened. Grandfather didn't know that when mother heard that you were sick, she was also worried and sick for two days."
Lu Xiang showed a look of surprise on his face and asked, "Is Fang'er okay?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and said comfortingly, "The palace reported this morning that she is almost well, so don't worry, Grandfather."
Prime Minister Lu nodded in relief and asked, "You have not met your grandfather since you got married. How are you getting along with your husband? Is Yanzhi treating you well?"
Yanzhi is Gu Lintan's pen name.
Jiang Xue was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Of course it's good."
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Xiang said, "If Yanzhi did anything wrong, Xue'er can tell grandpa. When grandpa gets better, she will help you to discipline him."
Jiang Xue smiled with curved eyebrows upon hearing this, and said, "Then Grandfather, you must not break your promise. He is your student now, so don't be reluctant to kill him when the time comes."
Lu Xiang stretched out his old, dry hand, touched her head, and said, "No matter what students you have, they are not as important as my Xue'er."
