Chapter 247 That Woman
"Are you concerned about us?" Mianmian looked at her with her eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on her face.
"Of course." Mu said with certainty.
Mian Mian had an innocent smile on her fair, round face. "Since you care about us, why didn't you treat me and my brother well after we returned to the capital?"
"Oh, I understand. Your concern is just lip service. Mother said that this kind of concern is fake, not real."
"I, of course I really care about you." Mu was choked, but she felt disgusted in her heart. They didn't even call her grandma when they came back, and didn't take her seriously. What else did they want from her?
"Have you ever bought us delicious food? Have you ever bought us clothes? Have you ever given us red envelopes? Oh, you haven't got any of these." Mianmian didn't give her any face at all.
"You don't have mother, me and Mianmian in your eyes at all. Stop hypocritically saying that you really care about us. We don't care." Mo Mo said coldly with a tense face.
Yang was holding back her laughter in her heart. Mu had the nerve to say that she really cared about them. Look at the two children, they knew it very well.
Tong didn't sympathize with Mu at all for being blamed by the two children. It was her own fault.
"You, you guys..." Mu was so angry that her chest ached. A five-year-old child actually spoke like this without caring about the elders' face at all.
"Momo Mianmian, today is your great-grandmother's birthday." Jiang Yunxi said.
Momo and Mianmian immediately ran to the old lady, and with a smile, asked her to continue eating the longevity peaches and other pastries.
Mu looked at Jiang Yunxi, her heart filled with anger. Is this how she teaches her children?
Jiang Chenyu wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. It would be more wrong to say more at this time, so she could only wait and comfort her mother later.
The old lady asked Jiang Jing'an to entertain Zhan Beiyuan and Zhan Yuyang in the hall, and she called Jiang Yunxi and others to her courtyard.
Mu deliberately walked at the back, she didn't want to walk with Jiang Yunxi.
"Mother, children speak without restraint. Don't take it to heart and don't argue with them." Jiang Chenyu said in a low voice. In front, her grandmother and Jiang Yunxi were talking and laughing.
Jiang Shixue and several other daughters of the Jiang family were also chatting and laughing nearby.
She, who had no blood relationship with them, was completely ignored by them.
"I think it's Jiang Yunxi who didn't teach you well. Would you speak so unreasonably when you were five years old?" Mu was burning with anger when she thought of what happened before. There were so many people present, and two children were blaming her.
After all, she is the wife of the Duke of England, but they don't give her any face at all. It's really disrespectful.
"I, I won't..." Jiang Chenyu said in a low voice. She really wouldn't be like those two children who were too disrespectful to their elders.
"You see, you can't do it, so it's Jiang Yunxi's fault for not teaching her well. It's no wonder she taught her child like that. She was like that herself." The more Mu thought about it, the angrier she became. She really hoped that Jiang Yunxi would come back less often in the future.
"Mother, Sister Yunxi has lived in that kind of environment since she was a child. Don't be too strict with her. Talk to her nicely in the future. After all, you are mother and daughter." Jiang Chenyu advised kindly.
Seeing her considerate look, Mu felt warm in her heart. So what if they were related by blood? It would be better if she had been raised by her side since childhood.
"I'll listen to you and not argue with her. How are you doing in Prince Yi's Mansion?"
"The prince is very good to me." Jiang Chenyu smiled with satisfaction.
"The fact that he can accompany you back to the Duke of Ying's Mansion today shows that he cares about you very much. You must hold on to him tightly. The Crown Prince has resigned, and the Eastern Palace is vacant. Prince Yi may have a chance." Mu whispered to her.
"Don't worry, mother. I understand." Jiang Chenyu smiled faintly. When she heard the news that the prince had resigned, she was really shocked, and then surprised.
I originally thought that she could only be a small concubine in the palace.
But now that the crown prince is gone, it means that the prince has a chance to compete for the crown prince.
Madam Mu was in a much better mood and said with a smile, "You have been outstanding since childhood and have never been a cause for worry. Fortunately, you did not marry the former crown prince. Although you married late and became Prince Yi's concubine, you still have the opportunity to live in the harem. This shows that you are lucky."
"We'll talk about the future later. I just hope that my mother and the Jiang family will be fine." Jiang Chenyu chuckled. She didn't know whether the prince could defeat the other princes, so she didn't dare to hold too high hopes for fear of disappointment.
"You are so thoughtful." Mu praised with a smile.
Front.
Jiang Yunxi and his group were talking and laughing.
"Yun Xi, I heard from your father that you promised the emperor to investigate the case of the fire in Jiangzhou decades ago?" The old lady asked solemnly after thinking about this. How could she investigate after decades had passed?
"Why did my father tell you this?" Jiang Yunxi said, now waiting for Meng Po to help her find out what the pattern was.
"He was asking me about what happened in Jiangzhou back then, asking if I had any clues. I was twelve years old when the fire broke out. My nanny woke me up in the middle of the night and told me there was a fire, and everyone in the Zhen family ran outside."
"Luckily, everyone ran quickly and the Zhen family was completely burned. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but many people in Jiangzhou were burned to death. It was really pitiful."
"That fire was like a disaster that wiped out Jiangzhou's entire family. Fortunately, there was a heavy rain, and it was the rain that saved Jiangzhou. Otherwise, given the situation at that time, it would have been difficult to put out the fire." The old lady said with red eyes. She had seen many charred corpses.
"This was a long-planned fire." Jiang Yunxi said firmly. It was not completed in one day, but was prepared for a long time, so that fires could break out simultaneously everywhere in the middle of the night, preventing many people from escaping.
The arsonist is truly guilty of a heinous crime and will surely be punished in the eighteen levels of hell after his death.
"The government said that fires broke out everywhere because everyone was burning fires in the winter. The surviving people naturally didn't believe it, but they could only accept this explanation because we didn't know how the fire started." The old lady sighed.
"I will find out." Jiang Yunxi said. She had promised the people who died in the fire.
The old lady looked at her and said, "It's been so long. It's difficult. I will think carefully about whether there was anything special happening before the fire."
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi thought it was okay, as she was an eyewitness to the fire.
There is a family dinner at noon.
Because of Zhan Beiyuan and Zhan Yuyang, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion naturally did not dare to neglect them. Jiang Jingan was the active person throughout the whole process, as he could not let the atmosphere become awkward.
After lunch, Jiang Yunxi prepared to leave. Before leaving, she gave the old lady a specially made amulet and told her to wear it close to her body to protect her safety.
After leaving the Duke of England's mansion, they took their children straight home.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
"Miss Jiang, Lord Qu came here before. He told you to go to Jingzhao Prefecture after you come back, saying that the eldest son of the Pei family is looking for you." Butler Bai hurriedly reported after seeing them come back.
"I'm going to Jingzhao Prefecture now." Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhan Beiyuan and said. The last time she took Pei Heng there, she asked Pei Lie which woman he went to the manor for, but he didn't tell her.
She was wondering if that woman was related to the resurrected female corpse, otherwise why would Pei Lie run to that remote village.
