Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, her face showing extreme embarrassment.
The reason why she arranged a marriage for Jiang Yi first was naturally not because she valued Jiang Yi.
In fact, Gu Chen originally wanted to marry Jiang Yi, but she didn't want Jiang Yi to have such a good marriage, so she hurriedly promised Jiang Yi to someone else.
After learning that Jiang Yi was promised to someone else, Gu Chen felt extremely depressed for a while. It was at this time that Jiang Yuan entered Gu Chen's heart.
It's just that it's always hard to say this directly.
Mrs. Jiang paused for a moment before saying, "It was because Li Huaqing asked to marry you. He was a student of your father's, a man of good character and considerable learning. After much deliberation, I agreed to the marriage with your father."
"Then Madam..." Jiang Yi asked again, "May I ask when Prince Gu came to ask to marry me?"
The people from Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion are right next to us, so this statement cannot be false.
Mrs. Jiang stammered and couldn't explain clearly.
If we tell the truth, we are not fools. I am afraid everyone can guess what she was thinking at that time.
If you tell a lie, it will be exposed in the next moment.
Jiang Yi turned around and asked Gu Chen.
"Young Marquis Gu, when did you first come to ask to marry me? How come I've never heard of it before?"
Gu Chen told the truth.
"That day, my mother sent someone to inquire about my mother-in-law's opinion. At that time, my mother-in-law said that you had been promised to someone else. After all, this matter concerns a woman's reputation, so our family will naturally not make it public."
"Oh, at this time." Through the thin and fragmented curtains, Jiang Yi's gaze turned to Mrs. Jiang again.
"I remember that before that day, I hadn't made any promises to anyone."
"But the next day, Madam hastily betrothed me to Li Huaqing."
Mrs. Jiang originally wanted to use the fact that Gu Chen had feelings for Jiang Yi, which caused Jiang Yuan to lose her mind and do something wrong, to excuse Jiang Yuan, but she didn't expect Jiang Yi to directly expose Mrs. Jiang's lies.
Now she couldn't continue to say that.
Being looked at with questioning eyes by the people in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Madam Jiang gritted her teeth and finally decided to ignore everything for the sake of her little daughter.
"Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but it was a long time ago when Hua Qing came to the mansion and ran into you by chance. He fell in love with you at first sight and mentioned it to your father and me several times. Your father and I had this plan before."
"Later, your brother-in-law also fell in love with you at first sight."
"Although we don't understand why they would meet you when they were fine, and...your father and I don't blame you in the end. We just think Huaqing is more suitable for you after thinking about it."
"After all, your brother-in-law has you in his heart. Your sister has always known about this. When you wanted to divorce Li Huaqing, your sister didn't think much of it at first. She even told me privately that you were pitiful and wanted to help you."
"It was only later that I discovered you were secretly too close to your brother-in-law that I became worried."
"She loves your brother-in-law too much, and you and your brother-in-law are too close, so she has a demon in her heart."
"Xiaoyi, your sister is wrong. As her stepmother, can you please kneel down and apologize to her? Please forgive her this time. If you want to hit or scold her, come to me."
Father Jiang also said, "Xiaoyi, you are the most sensible and kind person. Your sister is ultimately because of you... She is pregnant again, and the child is innocent."
"I promise you that I will teach her a lesson in private. She will never dare to do it again."
Speaking of pregnancy, although Gu Chen was annoyed by Mrs. Jiang's deception, Jiang Yuan was his woman and was pregnant with her child.
Gu Chen also kowtowed heavily to Jiang Yi.
"Mrs. Jiang is a very kindhearted woman. I beg you to spare my life. I am willing to bear all the blame for her crimes."
When Madam Jiang heard this, she had an idea and wanted to kill two birds with one stone. She wanted to use this opportunity to let Gu Chen and the emperor see clearly what a vicious person Jiang Yi was. So she kept kowtowing and said, "Whatever she wants to do, let me, as your mother, compensate you."
"As long as you, Xiaoyi, spare your sister, I am willing to die."
"She's pregnant."
"Xiaoyi, say something. You can't let your sister go even though we are all like this."
"Your sister did have the intention to harm others, but you didn't die, right? Even with so many of us, can't we compensate you?"
