"Madam, the master wants you to go to the front hall."
At the Jiang Mansion, Zhou was half leaning on the chaise longue, enjoying the service of two maids.
Whenever she thought about the day when Jiang Li got married and how the general's wife had deliberately made things difficult for her, she felt very upset.
Fortunately, Jiang Sheng saw that she looked pitiful, so he gave her some ginseng that he had hidden away to nourish her body, otherwise she would still be lying in bed.
"Why are you going to the front hall so early?"
Zhou rolled her eyes. After finally getting rid of that plague Jiang Li, couldn't she just have a few days of peace?
"Madam, today is the day when the eldest lady returns home."
The personal nanny reminded from the side.
"Pooh!"
Spitting out the melon seed shells from her mouth, Zhou wiped her fingers clean and said, "Let's go."
The host family should have made preparations long ago when their married daughter returned home, but seeing that the lady looked reluctant, the servants dared not say a word.
When we arrived at the front hall, we saw Jiang Sheng dressed formally, sitting on a chair and drinking tea.
"master."
Jiang Sheng glared at Zhou's nonchalant expression. "Normally, I'd ignore your grumpiness, but today is a big day. If you displease Prince Jingling, you'll be in big trouble."
"Master," Zhou waved her hand, "In my opinion, Prince Jingling may not come in person."
"Look, we are just a merchant family after all. Even if Jiang Li is very capable, she is just a newlywed. How could Prince Jingling accompany her back home for her sake?"
"Hmph." Jiang Sheng slammed the tea bowl on the table. "Have you forgotten what happened on your wedding day?"
Because of this thought at the time, I thought Prince Jingling would not come in person, but instead I was warned.
"That day was a grand wedding, and the whole capital was watching. This time is different."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you," Jiang Sheng said, straightening his robe and warning, "Hurry up and tell the kitchen to pay attention to our distinguished guests today. Don't bring shame to our Jiang family."
Palace.
"Your Majesty, what are these three cars?"
As soon as Jiang Li walked out of the mansion, he saw three more carriages following the carriage.
"To answer the princess, this is the return gift I was ordered to purchase."
Gu Qingchen glanced at Mo Qi, and Mo Qi quickly answered.
Jiang Li didn't expect to have to bring so many things back. She walked around the three carriages and shook her head. "What a shame! The Jiang family got such a big advantage. I feel like I'm losing out."
Amused by the woman's bluntness, Gu Qingchen said, "It depends on which Jiang Mansion it's for."
"you mean?"
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and the scene of saying goodbye to Xue Rou last night instantly emerged in his mind.
"Your Majesty, you understand me very well."
The woman raised her eyebrows and happily got into the carriage.
&&&
"Master, Miss, ah, no, it's the princess who's back."
The housekeeper of the Jiang residence had been waiting at the gatehouse since early in the morning. When he saw the palace's carriage from afar, he immediately sent someone to inform Jiang Sheng.
"Go and call the lady."
Jiang Sheng straightened his clothes again and walked towards the mansion gate with a smile on his face.
Although he did not like his eldest daughter, as a businessman, his nature was to pursue profit. Just by virtue of his son-in-law being the Prince of Jingling, his position in the business world would be unmatched.
"Master Jiang, why don't you bow to the prince and princess?"
Seeing Prince Jingling getting off the carriage, Jiang Sheng's face was full of pride.
They wanted to let everyone see how much Prince Jingling valued their Jiang family.
While he was in a daze, he heard the reminder from the palace guards, and Jiang Sheng hurriedly saluted the two of them.
Seeing that Zhou didn't react, he immediately glared at her.
"Since we are family, there is no need for formalities. Let's all get up."
After the two of them had completed the formal ceremony, Gu Qingchen finally spoke.
He came here with a mission today.
The little girl next to him said that if he helped her vent her anger, she would also give him a share in her future business.
Although he had no interest in the money, after all, the palace had abundant private property, but when he thought of the little girl's expression as if she was trying to win him over, Gu Qingchen naturally had no reason not to respond.
Originally, even if Jiang Li didn't say it, he would still find an opportunity to vent his anger for her.
"Father, why haven't you invited the prince into the palace yet?"
Jiang Li was so happy to see Zhou's expression as if she had eaten shit.
Hehehe, this is just the beginning.
"I was so overjoyed to see Li'er back that I was stunned for a moment. Blame me for not entertaining her well enough. Come, Prince and Princess, please come in!"
Jiang Sheng laughed it off but kept cursing in his heart.
He hated the feeling that a father had to bow to his daughter!
"Why don't you see your sister?"
Arriving at the front hall, Jiang Li looked around and felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, Jiang Shengsheng should come out to disrupt the situation at this time. After all, she is the supporting actress, isn't she?
She had thought it all out. Now that the plot of the original book had changed, she wanted to try and see if she could persuade the heroine to rebel. In this way, Qin Ji would naturally fall apart.
"Your sister is not feeling well and is recuperating in the backyard."
One day after Jiang Li got married, the Qin family sent someone to propose marriage, saying that they wanted to marry Jiang Shengsheng on behalf of the third master of the Qin family.
Although the Qin family is indeed a wealthy family, Jiang Shengsheng was originally destined to marry Qin Ji! Now she wants to marry into the Qin Mansion and become the third master's concubine. It really messes up the generations!
According to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Shengsheng's reputation in the capital was ruined, but he still felt a little distressed if she were to marry into the Qin family.
His plan was to wait until the incident had died down, then send Jiang Shengsheng back to her hometown in the south without anyone noticing, and change her identity. As long as she was far away from the capital, it would be a blessing for her to marry a legitimate son with a decent family background as the mistress.
But I didn’t expect that Jiang Shengsheng actually disagreed!
She said that if she didn't marry into the Qin family, she would either die or become a nun. The Qin family didn't mind being embarrassed, so why would she worry about messing up the order of the generations?
But Jiang Sheng was very angry.
Just lock her up in the backyard and let her sober up.
"Oh?" Jiang Li was a little skeptical. Just take care of yourself? That wasn't Jiang Shengsheng's personality.
"Then I'll go to the backyard to see my sister. It's a good opportunity for you to have a good chat with the prince, father."
Jiang Sheng was a little afraid of Gu Qingchen, but this was a rare opportunity to get along with the prince, so he immediately called the maid to take Jiang Li there.
"Look at me. I've only been married for a few days, and my father is worried that I've forgotten where my sister lives?"
Jiang Li walked and mocked, and the maid beside her didn't dare to say a word.
"Miss, are you really going to look for the Second Miss? What if..."
Bai Zhi was still a little worried. After all, Jiang Shengsheng had made things difficult for her young lady over the years.
"Silly girl, things are different now. What is my status now, and what is her status? Could it be that she still dares to offend her superiors?"
Jiang Li said this without any reservation. The maid who led the way took her away as soon as she sent Jiang Li to the door of Yunsheng Pavilion.
"Miss, she must have gone to the Madam to complain."
Seeing the maid's panicked figure, Bai Zhi quickly reminded her.
"That's exactly what I want."
