"Sir, Madam." Ye Song lowered his head. "Minister Yu and his wife have been waiting outside the door since early morning. They brought a lot of things with them."
Zhou Jing'an didn't react much, but turned to ask Jiang Ling if there was anything in the box she liked.
Just after finishing her hair, Jiang Ling stopped Luzhu from inserting the hairpin and stood up and walked over.
There were three full boxes, one of which was made of silk and satin, all of which were the most fashionable materials in Jiangnan today. They felt soft and smooth, and had a cool feel, making them perfect for summer wear.
The other two boxes contained jewelry and head ornaments, including pearls, agates, jadeite, gold, silver, and jadeite. Jiang Ling almost blinked when she saw them.
She picked up a jade bracelet of excellent quality, looked at it in the light, and said with a smile, "It seems that Boss Huang is afraid of being implicated."
So generous.
Zhou Jingan looked at her and said, "If you like someone, stay. Don't think about anything else."
This means that no matter whether Jiang Ling keeps these things or not, he will not let them go as he wishes because of them.
Jiang Ling smiled and understood what he meant.
He lowered his eyes and saw a piece of letter paper tucked into the brocade. He took it out and saw that it was written by Huang Shou alone.
It still contained repeated apologies, but also distanced himself from the family, saying that he had no influence on the Yu family's decision to apologize.
Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow and asked Ye Song, "The Yu couple are outside the mansion, so where is Yu Xingxi?"
Ye Song answered truthfully: "I haven't seen it."
Jiang Ling chuckled. It seemed that her parents couldn't bear to see her suffer even a little bit.
Why didn't they let her come and apologize in person? Were they afraid they would embarrass her?
Before Jiang Ling could do anything, Zhou Jing'an's face turned cold and his voice was icy, "It seems that the newly appointed Yu Shilang still needs to be tested. I have some doubts about his ability to govern."
If he can't even control his own daughter, how much political achievement can he achieve in the court?
Jiang Ling stroked his arm, asking him to calm down, and showed him the letter in her hand: "Huang Shou said that I can watch the songs and dances at Ruyifang as much as I want. He also said that he had choreographed a new song and dance and wanted to show it to me alone to relieve my boredom."
Huang Shou's Ruyifang's business has been getting worse over the past two months, and it seems to be surpassed by the nearby Fangfeiyuan.
So he spent a lot of money to go to the south to look for actors and dancers. Recently, he finally made some progress and started rehearsing privately, intending to make a big splash at the Autumn Lantern Festival at the end of September.
But in this situation, he couldn't care about anything else. Of course, saving his life was the most important thing.
If he could make Jiang Ling smile, he and Ruyifang would be saved.
What he didn't know was that the bad business was caused by Jiang Ling.
Please, he treated Wanran so badly, beating and scolding her at every turn, she had to vent her anger for Wanran.
Zhou Jingan casually glanced at the letter and asked her, "Do you want to see it?"
Jiang Ling shook her head, showing no interest.
There probably isn't anyone who can dance better than Wanran.
"Huang Jin's letter and the things he sent were most likely instigated by him. He was worried that his business would be affected."
Jiang Ling didn't have a good impression of Huang Shou and didn't want to give him this face.
"Well, then let's not watch it." Zhou Jing'an pulled her to sit down, turned around and asked her what she wanted to eat for breakfast.
Jiang Ling lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, then stood up and picked out a piece of brocade and two hairpins from the wooden box, and asked someone to send the rest back.
She leaned on Zhou Jing'an's shoulder, casually playing with the gilded, gem-inlaid, jade hairpin in her hand. "It's not like the Huang family sent Yu Xingxi there, there's no need to implicate them."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhou Jing'an responded softly and put his arms around her waist. His voice was as gentle and pleasant as ever, but where Jiang Ling couldn't see, his eyes were as dark as ink.
