Grandma Yin's thoughts not only alarmed Madam Jiang, but also Marquis Changping.
He cursed the entire Yin family for eighteen generations in his mind, but he was still not satisfied and went to Zhaotaiyuan.
"How are you feeling? If you're alright, get up and get ready to arrange for Lin-ge'er to be adopted into the main branch of the family."
In his view, as long as Jiang Wenlin was adopted into the main branch of the family, he would be a person with parents!
Therefore, no one else has any reason to interfere with the birth mother's dowry!
Madam Jiang coughed heavily twice, using this as an excuse to ignore Marquis Changping and instead signal to Zhou Mama to reply.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the Old Madam's health is indeed not very good. Moreover, this adoption matter cannot be handled immediately! After all, the Third Master and Third Madam have just passed away, and if word gets out, it will damage the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion. Most importantly, we fear it might implicate many others..."
Madam Zhou originally wanted to say "eldest daughter," but then she remembered that Jiang Chuhui had already been granted the title of Noble Lady by the Emperor, so she changed her words and said, "It would be unpleasant if this implicated Noble Lady Hui!"
Marquis Changping's face turned pale at first, but his expression softened when he heard the words "Consort Hui".
He had lost a son, and it was inevitable that he would feel sad when he heard others talk about it, but this sadness was not enough to stop him from moving forward.
"I imagine the third son doesn't want his son to be destitute. We won't publicize this matter, but we must handle it as soon as possible! The old lady's health isn't good, so you old women and maids must know how to share your mistress's burdens!"
Madam Zhou bowed and replied, "I dare not disobey the Marquis's orders, but as for the young master... the Marquis knows the young master's temperament. If he is unwilling, and the Marquis forces him, I fear the young master will do something that would rather die than bend!"
"He wouldn't dare! With his cowardly appearance, he couldn't even endure the loss of his parents as well as a young girl like Azi. What kind of shameful thing could he possibly do!"
Zhou's mother didn't speak again, but Old Madam Jiang spoke up.
"Mother Zhou is just giving the Marquis a heads-up, so that if something truly irreversible happens in the future, the Marquis won't regret it later!"
Marquis Changping stood up with his hands behind his back. "The current matter is not yet resolved, so why worry about tomorrow's affairs in advance! Alright, you all hurry up and get things done. As for Lin-ge'er, I will personally go and persuade him!"
He came suddenly and left in a hurry.
As Madam Jiang watched Marquis Changping's departing figure, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Madam, what should this old servant do now?"
"You will naturally act according to the Marquis's instructions. First, inform the First Madam, then go out of the manor to see if Awen has arrived in the capital."
"yes!"
At that time, Madam Jiang and Aunt Jiang were at loggerheads.
"Big sister, your behavior is too disgusting! We are still allies, and you let Sister You go and seduce Brother Lin without even saying a word!"
That's bad enough, but to actually try to curry favor with the merchants you used to despise? This isn't like your usual self-righteous manner!
“Cheng, watch your mouth! I only sent You’er to comfort Lin’er because I was worried about him being upset after suddenly losing his parents…”
"Really? I've really learned something new. This is the first time I've seen someone bring a potion to comfort someone. After drinking this bowl of soup, how is Sister You planning to comfort our Brother Lin?"
Grandma Jiang was speechless. She had someone buy the potion from outside, so how did Madam Cheng know about it?
So, did she know about Ying'er buying medicine?
On her mother's birthday, Yingjie went into the water and, because of the cold, she started to bleed slightly.
If it were up to her, she would naturally take the opportunity to end this ill-fated relationship with a bowl of abortifacient medicine.
But the daughter refused and even threatened to kill herself, saying that if anything happened to the child in her womb, she would kill herself on the spot.
She had no other choice, so when no one was paying attention the night before, she had the female doctor who accompanied her go out to buy medicine to save her daughter's child.
Although the fetus was saved, it was absolutely impossible to have sex with the baby!
Therefore, she thought of using a sleeping potion to knock out Lin Ge'er, and then having Ying Jie'er go over after Lin Ge'er fainted, so that no one would know!
But little did they know, the Cheng family had seen all of this!
Grandma Jiang was no naive woman; she asked in a deep voice, "What else do you know?"
"I know what I need to know, and I have no interest in knowing what I shouldn't know!"
Madam Jiang's words were cryptic, and Aunt Jiang wasn't sure if she knew about Ying'er's pregnancy.
After a moment, Aunt Jiang calmed down and said very warmly, "Sister-in-law, we are in the same boat. If I capsize, it will not benefit you. Let's continue to cooperate as before!"
"Sister, it's not that your sister-in-law doesn't want to cooperate with you anymore, it's just that there's no need!"
"Cheng family, what do you mean? Are you planning to use us and then discard us?"
"Sister, that's ridiculous. I haven't even crossed the river yet, so how can you say I'm dismantling the bridge?"
"you……"
It was at this moment that Zhou's mother arrived. After greeting the two of them, she remained silent.
Madam Jiang then gave the order to leave, saying, "Eldest sister, I have something to discuss with Mother Zhou. Shouldn't you excuse yourself?"
Grandma Jiang turned and left.
However, before she reached the door, Madam Jiang's voice came from behind her again.
"Eldest sister, you are a daughter of the Marquis's family who has married out. You shouldn't meddle in some things! If you have the time and energy, you should sort out your own family's messy affairs first."
Grandma Jiang left in a huff.
Only then did Mrs. Zhou speak, explaining her purpose.
Madam Jiang almost burst into tears of joy.
Previously, she was the only one who wanted to adopt Lin Ge'er into her family, but now that her father and mother have agreed, what is there that can't be done!
She needed to tell the young master this good news as soon as possible.
"Madam, don't be too happy yet. Although the Marquis and the Old Madam have agreed, this matter ultimately depends on the young master's own wishes! If the young master insists on not wanting it, there's nothing the Marquis and the Old Madam can do!"
Madam Jiang suppressed her joy and asked, "Did the old lady give any other instructions?"
"The old lady said that if the eldest madam really wants the young master as her son, she must treat him as her own son, showing him care and concern every day, and often personally preparing food for him. These are essential!"
"Young Master's heart is made of flesh and blood. If the First Madam truly treats him well, he will naturally sense it. Given time, he will naturally accept her!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang realized that this made perfect sense.
After Zhou Mama left, Madam Jiang went straight into the kitchen and personally cooked soup for Jiang Wenlin, and of course, Jiang Segu also contributed!
Just as she finished and was about to remove her waistband, Jing's mother rushed over.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! A young lady has come to our door saying she has taken a fancy to the young master and wants to marry him!"
