Qin listened to the conversation between the two with a dull look on her face. When she thought about rushing to her hometown in Fuyang today, she couldn't muster the energy to do anything.
It was not until the old lady waved her hand and handed a brocade box to Jiang Jingyu that the originally listless Qin suddenly sat up straight and widened her eyes!
"When you marry into the General's Mansion, your grandmother won't have anything to give you. Please keep this bracelet. I hope Jingyu won't despise it."
As the old lady spoke, she opened the brocade box, and a mutton-fat jade bracelet instantly appeared.
The moment Qin saw the mutton-fat jade bracelet, her eyes widened!
When the old lady was conferred the title of First-Rank Lady, His Majesty bestowed upon her many treasures, and this mutton-fat jade bracelet was one of them.
The jade bracelet is of excellent quality and extremely precious. It would be so impressive to wear it. Qin had been coveting it for a long time.
She had hinted to the old lady more than once that she wanted the jade bracelet, but the old lady had never been understanding and had never mentioned giving the bracelet to her. Qin was angry for a long time because of this.
It had been so long that Qin had long forgotten the existence of the jade bracelet. Now that the bracelet was taken out again by the old lady, the memory of the death suddenly began to attack her again.
She stared at the bracelet in the brocade box, almost drooling with greed.
Although Jiang Jingyu didn't know the origin of the jade bracelet, her intuition told her that it was very precious.
She hurriedly declined: "This bracelet is too precious. Jingyu can't have it. Grandma, please keep it for yourself."
Qin nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, no, no!"
The old lady laughed and said, "Silly child, grandma is old, how can she still wear these things?"
Qin stretched her neck forward and stared at the jade bracelet in the old lady's hand: "Mother is right, this bracelet is indeed not suitable for your status and age."
"But if a junior like Jingyu were to wear it outside, it would seem too ostentatious. This is a gift from the emperor. If someone were to notice it and have ulterior motives... it could lead to disaster!"
Qin pretended to be intimidating, then said seriously: "Jingyu must have thought of this and that's why she doesn't want to accept it. In that case, why not..."
Qin pretentiously pulled up her sleeves, revealing her wrists, the implication of which was too obvious to be true.
The old lady glanced at her indifferently, picked up the jade bracelet in the brocade box, and pulled Jiang Jingyu's glove onto her wrist.
Qin: “…”
So she was just wasting her breath?
Old hag!
Her meaning was so obvious, yet she actually gave the bracelet to someone else! !
The old lady took Jiang Jingyu's hand and comforted her, "Jingyu, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. With grandma here, I want to see who dares to make a move on Jingyu!"
The old lady glanced at Qin vaguely, her eyes full of warning.
Qin withdrew her gaze in dissatisfaction and lowered her head to hide the dissatisfaction in her eyes.
If the person who married here was Ran'er, this would never have happened!
Ran'er is so sensible that she will definitely not accept the jade bracelet after hearing her hint, and may even persuade her mother to give it to her.
Unlike Jiang Jingyu, who can't walk when she sees something good, and says she doesn't want it, but in the end she still wears it obediently.
How petty!
Not worthy of Yan Ci at all!
Although Qin lowered her head, the handkerchief in her hand, which was about to be torn to pieces, showed her anger and displeasure at the moment.
The old lady frowned and said in a deep voice, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you hurry back and pack your things and head back to your hometown in Fuyang?"
Qin gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "Yes!"
Only after Qin left her sight did the gloom on the old lady's face completely disappear.
Out of sight, out of mind!
"Lian Qiu, go to my room and get that old ginseng. Jingyu is too thin, and she needs to be nourished."
"yes."
After the nanny left, only Jiang Jingyu and the old lady were left in the main hall.
The old lady took her hand, her eyes filled with self-blame. "My dear child, because of my selfishness, you were forced to marry into the general's mansion. I apologize to you."
"Grandmother doesn't ask for your forgiveness, but only asks you not to blame Yanci for this. This has nothing to do with Yanci. It's because Grandmother doesn't agree with the Xiangfu canceling the engagement."
The old lady has fought on the battlefield and served in the court in her life. She is not inferior to any man in terms of courage and experience, and is even more imposing and courageous than some men.
Whether on the battlefield or in the court, no one ever looked down on her because she was a woman.
It was such an aloof and noble person, but now he was willing to lower himself for the sake of his grandson and made a plea to Jiang Jingyu.
She was just a grandmother worried about her grandson.
Jiang Jingyu shook the old lady's hand and said seriously, "Grandma, what are you talking about? It's my great honor to marry Brother Yanci. I can't thank you enough, so how could I blame you?"
The old lady was stunned. Thinking of a possibility, the self-blame in her eyes was gradually replaced by excitement: "Jingyu, you, could it be that you are... "
"Yes, Grandmother, I am pleased with Brother Yanci."
Jiang Jingyu admitted it generously.
This result surprised and delighted the old lady. She held Jiang Jingyu's hand even tighter and looked at her nervously and expectantly.
"Jingyu, tell me the truth, are you speaking from your heart or are you saying this on purpose to prevent me from feeling guilty?"
Jiang Jingyu smiled helplessly: "Grandma, I am telling the truth. Brother Yanci and I have known each other since we were young. In the past, when I was bullied, it was always Brother Yanci who protected me. Apart from my mother, Brother Yanci is the only person who is so kind to me."
"Originally, it would have been impossible for me to marry Brother Yanci with my status, but thanks to Grandmother, not only did I marry Brother Yanci, but I also married him as his legal wife. So, Grandmother, Jingyu thanks you from the bottom of my heart."
