Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Qin Lao San shrank his head.
If he had to say if he had any regrets, Qin Chuan only regretted not welcoming the Jiang family girl back earlier, otherwise the Qin family and the general's family would have become relatives by marriage.
The question is, who knew that the unfavored daughter of the Jiang family was actually the jewel of the general's mansion who was left behind.
Now that the Qin family has offended Jiang Li, if they wait for Jiang Yao to come back and recognize him as their relative, then the Qin family will definitely not end up well.
The more Qin Chuan thought about this, the angrier he became. He even looked at his son with a hint of disdain. He had such immense wealth, yet he had actually lost it. Over the past two years, he had truly lost his former spirit.
"Father, didn't Mrs. Zhou tell me that when Jiang Li arrived at the Jiang family, she didn't have any token of love on her. Didn't you say that the late emperor bestowed upon the general's youngest daughter a heart-protecting jade that was renowned throughout the capital? Without this token, could Jiang Yao truly believe that Jiang Li was his daughter?"
Qin Chuan collected his thoughts and nodded, "That's true. After all, if it weren't for this, Xue Rou would have taken the person back long ago. Why would we have to wait for Jiang Yao to come back?"
"Then if we find the Heart Protecting Jade first, then we will have the final say on who Jiang Yao's daughter is, right?"
Qin Laosan seemed to have come up with a great idea, and the flesh on his face was shaking with laughter.
"If the Heart Protecting Jade was so easy to find, it would have been taken away by someone to claim their relatives over the years, so how could it be your turn?"
Seeing Qin Chuan's cold eyes, Qin Lao San coughed and lowered his head to drink tea.
"But..." Qin Chuan's eyes swept across Qin Lao San, and he suddenly sneered, "Even if we can't find someone to be Jiang Yao's daughter, at least we can prevent Jiang Li from becoming Jiang Yao's daughter."
"Father, what do you mean?"
"Have Zhou continue to find people to spread the rumors you devised last time, and then..."
Qin Chuan played with the walnut in his hand. No poison, no man.
Jiang Li, since you can't be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, don't blame us, the Qin family, for not leaving you a way out.
///
A few days later.
When the good news that the Jade-faced General had defeated the barbarians and captured another city reached the capital, Jiang Li's herbal medicine shop finally opened.
Early in the morning, Jiang Li was held in the room by Bai Zhi and was beaten up.
"Princess, today is a big day, please don't think it's troublesome."
Seeing that Jiang Li looked like she hadn't woken up yet, Bai Zhi felt helpless. It was because her princess relied on her beauty to do evil things all day long, and every time she went out, she was simple and casual.
I'm afraid that the rich ladies in the capital are dressed more gorgeously than the princess.
"We are here to do business, not to compete for beauty."
Every time this time comes, Jiang Li misses the clothes from that world so much.
The clothes of this dynasty are beautiful, but too complicated. Business was all about convenience, so they wore layer upon layer. It was okay in winter, but in late summer and early autumn, you would sweat if you moved at all.
It's really inconvenient.
"Alright, my princess, please stop complaining. The dress you're wearing today was specially made for you by the prince at the Imperial Household Department a few days ago. Look at the fabric. You can't buy it outside the palace even if you spend a lot of money."
After hearing Bai Zhi say this, Jiang Li turned his gaze to himself. No wonder he felt that his body was not as heavy as usual. Touching the material, Jiang Li thought of a word, as thin as cicada silk.
She stood up and looked in the mirror. The light silk gauze felt as light as dancing. What she valued most was that the light blue dress had no excessive fancy patterns, and it was fresh and natural, with a natural beauty.
"How is it? I didn't lie to the princess, did I? It's really beautiful."
As he spoke, Jiang Li turned his head to look at the person coming in from outside.
She looked up and saw the man's eyes fixed on her, full of tenderness.
"Your Majesty."
Jiang Li turned around and blinked, "Does it look good?"
Although she regretted asking this question, the man's nod and "beautiful" made her mood inexplicably better, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Today you..."
"Today I..."
The two spoke at the same time. Jiang Li took a step back and said, "You speak first."
Gu Qingchen took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a gift from the Queen Mother, please wear it."
Jiang Li was stunned when she heard that. She took the brocade box and opened it to see that it was the Double Phoenix Gold Jade Hairpin that she had declined last time.
Last time, Jiang Li hadn't had time to examine it closely. Holding it in her hands now, she realized that the hairpin, though seemingly simple in design, was carved from the finest jasper. The two phoenixes at the top of the hairpin were lifelike, as if they were real.
The phoenix holds a pearl in its mouth and its wings are spread out. In the middle is a hollow pattern made of pure gold, which is extremely exquisite and gorgeous.
"But……"
Jiang Li wanted to say something, but Gu Qingchen's words blocked all the words of rejection she had prepared.
"Since the Queen Mother likes you, you should go to the palace more often to accompany her in the future."
After saying that, Gu Qingchen stepped forward, picked up the jade hairpin in the box, and put it on Jiang Li.
Turning around and looking at the mirror, Jiang Li realized that her clothes today complemented the jade hairpin very well.
It seems this guy already knew...
Thinking of this, Jiang Li's heart warmed up, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to thank my mother."
Gu Qingchen nodded and continued, "General Jiang has won a great victory and will return to the court soon. The barbarians have sent a letter of surrender, and I still need to go to the palace. Your herbal medicine shop is opening today, so I'm afraid I can't go."
"Daddy is so powerful?"
Jiang Li just found out about this. No wonder her mother told her last time that her father had his own way.
Seeing Jiang Li's eyes full of joy, Gu Qingchen felt a hundred thousand joys in his heart.
Fortunately, fortunately he found out Jiang Li's background and helped her find her relatives.
