"No, I don't want to see a doctor," Huang Shan said agitatedly. "I'm not sick, why should I see a doctor?"
His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Jiang Nuan.
“Okay,” Jiang Nuan said, not intending to force the issue, “as long as I don’t regret it later.”
Doctor Gu is busy processing medicinal herbs and constantly adjusting prescriptions, even busier than I am. People in the manor have to queue up to see a doctor, let alone outsiders.
Since the other party didn't accept her kindness, she couldn't be bothered to bother.
"Ya Ya, Da Shan is a child who is ignorant and has let you down. I apologize on his behalf. Next time, I will definitely let him take your pulse."
Noticing the disapproval in Sister-in-law Huang's eyes, Jiang Nuan smiled but remained silent.
She discovered that Sister-in-law Huang's love for her son had only grown stronger, and she was becoming increasingly doting on him.
By now, people have lost all sense of right and wrong.
If it weren't for seeking favors and leveraging power, one would surely not have been willing to let their son endure such humiliation.
I initially thought there was some affection between us, but now it seems I was just being presumptuous.
Compared to sentiment, what they care about more is the protection of the Marquis's mansion and... the wealth that is within easy reach.
“It’s okay, let him be,” Jiang Nuan replied nonchalantly. “It’s normal for children to have their own ideas as they grow up.”
Everyone present knew that Huangshan was guilty, but so what?
If his own mother is willing to protect him, why should these outsiders meddle? After all, he's not their son.
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Huang gave a bitter smile.
I decided to go out and take my son to see a doctor.
If she were to be completely drained by some vixen, she would never let that scourge go, even if it meant her death.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, a son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up!"
She never imagined that her son would cause such a huge mess right under her nose.
She doesn't care about her own health, but her mother does.
Immediately, he panicked and even considered giving up his original goal.
People whose bodies are hollowed out usually don't live long; once they're dead, they won't be able to enjoy any wealth or luxury.
For a time, I was distracted and absent-minded in everything I did.
"Mother," Huang Shan couldn't help but remind Huang Dasao, who was lost in thought, "Didn't you have something to say to Second Aunt?"
What a big heart!
I'm not worried about my own health at all.
Jiang Nuan didn't know how to evaluate this nephew.
"Oh, right," Sister-in-law Huang nodded, then said directly, "Ya Ya, didn't you find quite a few tutors before? How about letting Da Shan learn from them too?"
This matter had been agreed upon long ago, but unfortunately, something unexpected happened and it had to be canceled. At the time, she didn't care much about her son's injury, but now she feels regretful when she thinks about it.
This excuse was the best way to get into the Marquis's mansion. Originally, I wanted to curry favor with the old lady and get her to speak up for me, but now I have no hope at all.
The old lady showed absolutely no mercy; if she hadn't been mindful of her status, she probably would have chased the mother and son away on the spot.
Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help but complain.
The eldest grandson has been raised by her family for over twenty years. Even if they were cats and dogs, she would have developed feelings for him. How could she be so heartless?
“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Jiang Nuan said with an unchanged smile. “Those tutors have already taken their monthly allowance and left. Xiao Chuan and the others are now learning from a steward in the manor.”
"Learn from the steward? What can he teach?" Sister-in-law Huang said with slight dissatisfaction. "How could they let the tutor leave when everything was fine?"
The steward is just a servant; what skills could he possibly have?
"Their hearts aren't here, so there's no point in forcing them to stay. It's better to just let them leave."
"Why don't we let Dashan go with Xiaochuan? He's a marquis, and he needs a trusted confidant. They're cousins, and there's no closer relationship than that."
"Ogawa, we've already arranged for someone; it's not convenient to insert another one."
After being rejected time and time again, Sister-in-law Huang realized that the other party had no intention of taking care of her son at all.
Immediately, she pursed her lips tightly and said, "Yaya, for the sake of how many years your sister-in-law has taken care of you, can you give Dashan a chance?"
Jiang Nuan smiled but didn't reply.
Putting aside the relationship between the two families, given Huang Shan's personality, she would never keep him by her side.
Like gunpowder, it could explode and leave a hole at any time.
It wasn't that she was prejudiced, she just didn't dare.
Previously, he was so desperate because of women, and now he seems to have damaged his health due to excessive indulgence. I ask you, who in the world would dare to use him?
Jiang Nuan's reaction plunged both mother and daughter into despair.
"Second Aunt, can't we really give my nephew a chance?"
"What can you do?" Jiang Nuan asked slowly. "Keep the accounts? Be a housekeeper? Or a protector?"
"This is something the servants are supposed to do."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanqi laughed, "What can you do that servants can't do?"
She finally understood; all that talk about helping out was just a euphemism for wanting to act like the boss.
If your mind isn't even right, how can you expect an opportunity? What bald-headed person would give you one?
"Dashan is very capable, he can..."
Sister-in-law Huang really wanted to praise her son, but she couldn't find the words to say.
Farming? A peasant would certainly not say that.
Getting things done? Although her son has learned a lot of principles from his elders, he hasn't quite mastered them yet. He's good at simple interpersonal relationships, but not good enough for dealing with outsiders.
I can't think of anything else right now.
"It's just that they don't want to help," Huang Shan couldn't help but complain, thinking of Wan'er's words. "Giving you an official position is just a matter of lifting a finger. What excuse are you making? No wonder my grandfather and father don't like you. You deserve it!"
"Dashan," Sister-in-law Huang's face changed drastically, and she quickly covered her son's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he stole a glance at Jiang Nuan.
Seeing her dark and gloomy face, he immediately knew something was wrong.
"Butler, see them out," Jiang Nuan said without even glancing at the mother and daughter. "Don't let these two in again. If they continue to cause trouble, throw them into the county government office."
Jiang Nuan had no intention of taking out her anger on the younger generation for what happened in the previous generation. Her disdain for Huang Shan was purely due to his character.
Unexpectedly, this person had such thoughts.
Since people see her as a bad person, she has to do things that are in line with her status.
"yes!"
Cao Zhen led the two men over, dragged them out, and threw away the satin and pastries they had brought with them.
“Mother, don’t be angry,” Madam Xie quickly comforted her, “Let’s not stoop to their level.”
She had thought her cousin was unaware of the disgusting things her grandfather and son had done, but now it seemed that might not be the case.
Sure enough, like father, like son. He may look honest and simple on the surface, but the things he does are increasingly bizarre.
If this were my own son, I would have beaten him to death.
“Okay,” Jiang Nuan nodded gently, “Tell your grandma what just happened, and then you don’t need to pay any attention to them anymore.”
"What if he uses our family name to bully others?"
“I’ll send the mistress to Huangjiakou later, and she’ll directly break up the clan division and move your father’s grave out as well.”
“You should have said it a long time ago,” Madam Xie said reluctantly. “Mother always thought of leaving some face so that things wouldn’t get too ugly, but others might not appreciate it.”
