Chapter 475 "Does she really intend to never marry or have children for the rest of her life?"
Sister-in-law!
How could you, how could you humiliate October like this!
You, you…”
Yan Jiuniang watched Li Shiyue walk away through the door, then turned around angrily and shouted at Jiang Huijun.
Jiang Huijun was already angry because Li Shiyue had interrupted her and left, and now she was being criticized by Yan Jiuniang.
Even though Yan Jiuniang was her sister-in-law, she was also Liu Tan's moneybag;
Jiang Huijun also raised her hand and slammed it on the table, frowning as she looked at Yan Jiuniang: "Humiliation?"
When have I ever humiliated October?
She's already twenty-five. What's wrong with me introducing her to a good match?
"But you two have really grown up and become quite capable, even daring to treat me, the princess..."
Yan Jiuniang stared at Jiang Huijun in shock. She didn't understand; she really didn't get it.
Why would Jiang Huijun say that?
When exactly did Jiang Huijun turn into this?
Shocked, Yan Jiuniang could only say one thing to Jiang Huijun: "Sister-in-law, you've changed!"
Then, Yan Jiuniang rushed out the door without looking back and chased after Li Shiyue.
Inside the room, only Jiang Huijun remained, glaring angrily.
With a "bang," Jiang Huijun, unable to contain her anger, swept the teacup beside her to the ground.
The old woman standing behind Jiang Huijun nodded to the maid outside, who quickly grabbed some things to clean up the teacups that had been swept to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Ever since the Turkic delegation arrived and sent those ten beauties to the backyard of the Prince's mansion, many teacups in Jiang Huijun's room have been broken every few days.
It's only because the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion is so large and powerful that no one could afford to keep breaking such a set of precious white porcelain teacups every day.
"Aunt Yu, I..."
Granny Yu gently shook her head at the woman she had watched grow up, and Jiang Huijun finally stopped talking.
So, Granny Yu waved to the two maids serving outside, and they bowed and left, closing the door behind them.
After only Jiang Huijun and Granny Yu were left in the room, Granny Yu went up to Jiang Huijun and took her hand to look at her.
"Even if you're angry, you shouldn't have smashed that teacup. What if you burned your hand?"
"Granny, Granny, I... I'm truly heartbroken..."
Jiang Huijun's hand trembled slightly in the old woman's palm. After saying just one sentence, she lowered her head again.
The snow outside the window was falling heavier and heavier, and the wind and snow were swirling and hitting the window frame, but inside the room it was so quiet that you could hear Jiang Huijun sobbing.
"Granny, I mentioned it... I even..."
Jiang Huijun's voice choked with sobs, as if she had remembered something. Suddenly, she abruptly pulled her hand away from Granny Yu's grasp. "I took the initiative to suggest to the Prince that I take Li Shiyue as a concubine!"
I even said that if Li Shiyue has any children in the future, I am willing to recognize them as my own and treat them as my own!
But the prince... he didn't agree!
The prince even said I was being ridiculous!
At this point, Jiang Huijun was clearly out of control. She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with such force that her white fingertips were visible.
"It's all because the prince said Li Shiyue is very capable!"
Are you afraid you can't control Li Shiyue?
Then take her as a concubine!
Once a woman has a man, she will naturally treat his affairs as her own.
Upon hearing this, Granny Yu's eyes darkened, and she stepped forward to support Jiang Huijun's swaying body.
She felt Jiang Huijun's trembling body, a sign of suppressed anger and resentment.
"My wife, stop talking, stop talking!"
As Granny Yu said this, she gently massaged Jiang Huijun's tense neck with her fingers, relieving Jiang Huijun's pressure.
At that moment, Jiang Huijun suddenly laughed.
Her laughter was as sharp as the clanging of swords.
"Haha, Granny, you didn't see the Prince's face. He didn't say I was being ridiculous at all!"
Haha, even the prince has harbored such shameful thoughts!
"Your Highness! Be careful what you say!"
Granny Yu never expected that Jiang Huijun would dare to say anything at this moment!
Jiang Huijun raised her face, which was clearly streaked with two lines of tears. Although she was smiling, her eyes were full of pain.
"The prince finally said no."
He said that Li Shiyue was one of his soldiers and his comrades-in-arms in the army;
Although he harbored suspicions about her, even with his unease, he shouldn't have resorted to such despicable methods to humiliate her!
A gust of wind blew in from outside, blowing the half-closed window open.
The wind blew straight through the open window and onto Jiang Huijun's face, wiping away her tears in just a few breaths.
Granny Yu quickly went forward to close the window. The wind and snow that drifted into the room landed on the charcoal brazier in the corner of the window, and wisps of white smoke appeared on the top of the brazier.
"Granny, the prince slept with another Turkic beauty last night."
Jiang Huijun suddenly said this to Granny Yu, completely changing the subject of what she had just said about Li Shiyue.
Granny Yu handed Jiang Huijun a cup of hot tea, but Jiang Huijun immediately waved her hand and knocked it to the ground.
"My wife, my wife..."
Looking at the broken teacup and spilled tea on the ground, Granny Yu felt a sharp pain in her heart.
“What are those ten beauties sent by the Turks?” Jiang Huijun’s voice suddenly lowered, and she gritted her teeth. “They’re nothing but playthings.”
Although she said "plaything" in her mouth, Jiang Huijun's expression was not so nonchalant.
Looking at Jiang Huijun's red eyes, Granny Yu recalled that the last time Liu Tan came to Jiang Huijun's courtyard was when the young master celebrated his birthday.
“Since the prince says he cannot take Li Shiyue as a concubine, what’s wrong with me introducing my cousin from my maternal family to her?”
Once she gets married, she will inevitably have to bear children for that man!
Then, how could the prince still fear her martial prowess?
Jiang Huijun suddenly raised her voice, "She's already a twenty-five-year-old old hag!"
Although my cousin's wife died and he has a child, he is two years younger than Li Shiyue!
I did all this for her, and not only did she not thank me, she even dared to leave right away?
My cousin is still a captain, which is a lower rank than Li Shiyue. But now that this woman is married, shouldn't she worry about her husband's future?
"At that time, with my cousin holding her pregnant, why would Your Highness worry that Li Shiyue, this dagger, would turn against its master?"
Granny Yu stepped forward and put her arm around Jiang Huijun's shoulder. She sighed softly, "Madam, General Li has been in the army for many years. Although she is a woman, she still holds military power. This time, she has made great contributions in the Turkic region."
My wife, how could you force me into this marriage...
"So what?" Jiang Huijun slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "No matter how powerful she is, she's still a woman!"
So what if she's a female general?
Does she really intend to remain unmarried and childless for the rest of her life?
Women are meant to be devoted wives and mothers, not to spend all their time surrounded by men!
Jiu Niang, even if she were to be a manager of a merchant guild, would simply stay behind the scenes.
Ever since she became friends with Li Shiyue, she has become increasingly difficult to manage!
Now, they're even being forced to walk around like men!
At that moment, Granny Yu suddenly noticed that the once gentle and elegant Madam Jiang now had fine lines around her eyes and deep furrows between her brows.
"Granny, I'm scared..."
Jiang Huijun suddenly softened her voice again. She sat down again and reached out to grab Yu Mama's sleeve. "The prince hasn't entered my room for three months."
He has been staying in those courtyards for ten days straight since those Turkic beauties were brought there.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and the maid standing at the door quickly reported, "Your Highness, Deputy General Ma from the Prince's side in the front courtyard requests an audience."
Upon hearing what the maid outside said, Granny Yu quickly distanced herself from Jiang Huijun.
Jiang Huijun immediately straightened her back, her anger completely vanished, and she returned to her dignified demeanor as the mistress of the royal palace.
Granny Yu agreed to the maid's request and told her to open the door and let Ma San in.
"princess!"
Ma San walked in, his face solemn, and bowed to Jiang Huijun.
"The General sent me to inquire whether any discord occurred when General Li came to pay his respects earlier?"
