Jiang Segu then understood the reason behind it.
I didn't hear him mention it at lunchtime!
Dr. Li never mentioned these things!
After several days of bitterness, Jiang Segu felt a sweet sensation, like a piece of candy.
Upon seeing this, Song Yuru couldn't help but harbor resentment.
Liao Luzhen, who was eating sunflower seeds, exclaimed, "What kind of look is that? You look like you're going to eat me alive! That doesn't look like a sincere apology!"
Song Yurong quickly lowered her head, subconsciously denying, "Miss, you must have misjudged. I sincerely apologize to Sixth Sister!"
"You're lying through your teeth! Madam, I think you should take the two young ladies back first, calm them down, and then come back, to avoid creating such an awkward situation!"
Madam Song angrily stepped forward and slapped Song Yuru, "What did Grandfather say? Have you forgotten?"
Song Yuru hesitated, then kowtowed to Jiang Segu, repeating her previous words over and over.
The thud of his forehead hitting the ground showed that he had really put in a lot of effort.
Jiang Segu quickly stepped forward to help her up, saying, "What are you doing, Fourth Sister Song? Our two families are related by marriage. I can't accept this! Besides, it was just a quarrel between young ladies that day. Madam Song, you don't need to take it to heart."
"That……"
"Don't worry, Madam Song. If this is because of General Gu that they are targeting the Song family, I will definitely try to persuade them to stop!"
Madam Song breathed a sigh of relief and held Jiang Segu's hand, praising her for her magnanimity.
After seeing off the Song family mother and her two daughters, Liao Luzhen patted the sunflower seed shells in her hand and said, "Aren't you afraid that if the Song family gains power one day, they will come after you for today's humiliation?"
Jiang Segu said confidently, "They don't have that chance!"
"You really trust Gu Songhan completely!"
Jiang Segu only smiled and did not answer.
"Tch, look at your smug grin, just like Gu Songhan. Looks like I've been worrying too much! I'm going to visit your brother and maybe we can work on our relationship!"
Jiang Segu also returned to Lanyue Courtyard. She had to take stock of all of her mother's private property and hand it over to her, her nominal sister-in-law!
***
Time flies, and the next day, under the arrangement of Marquis Changping and witnessed by Old Madam Yin, the marriage between Jiang Wenlin and Liao Luzhen was settled!
Jiang Segu handed the sandalwood box to Marquis Changping. Marquis Changping held the heavy box, feeling somewhat reluctant, but looking at Liao Luzhen's radiant face, he gritted his teeth and handed the box over to the public.
"This is all your mother-in-law's belongings, and now they are being handed over to you. I hope you can manage them well!"
These words startled Master Jiang so much that he almost stood up.
Madam Jiang, along with the second husband and wife, also looked quite displeased!
Only Old Mrs. Yin and the Yin family members were all smiling.
Regardless of the expressions on everyone's faces, Marquis Changping continued, "You are still young, and Lin-ge'er is not good at managing these things. Why don't I, your grandfather, assign some people to help you?"
Liao Luzhen glanced at Jiang Wenlin.
Jiang Wenlin was unwilling, but he couldn't refuse on the surface, so he could only lower his eyes and remain silent.
Liao Luzhen glanced at Jiang Segu, who was standing to the side.
Jiang Segu naturally had a way to refuse, but she also wanted to see Liao Luzhen's abilities. If Liao Luzhen only had brute force, then it would be safer to keep her mother's things with her.
Seeing that neither brother nor sister had any help, Liao Luzhen took the box and said with a smile, "Grandfather is already so old, how can I, his granddaughter-in-law, worry about such a small matter! Besides, I have learned these things from my mother at home, so Grandfather doesn't need to worry that I can't handle it!"
Marquis Changping then said, "Your mother-in-law owns many shops. I'm afraid you might be willing but unable to manage them, or perhaps..."
“Grandfather…” Liao Luzhen interrupted Marquis Changping, saying, “Do you not trust your granddaughter-in-law? If that’s the case, I think this marriage is off!”
Marquis Changping dared not say anything more. It was just a small amount of untapped assets; he would deal with it slowly in the future!
"Miss Liao, are you hungry...?"
"Grandfather, why are you still so distant? You should call me Zhenniang!"
After calling out "Zhenniang" with a smile, the Marquis of Changping waved his hand and ordered the dishes to be served...
The elderly Madam Jiang, who had not yet appeared, had already finished her lunch under the care of Zhou Mama.
Mrs. Zhou said worriedly, "What should we do now? Third Madam's private property has all fallen into Miss Liao's hands, I'm afraid that in the future..."
"She's just a little girl, what kind of trouble can she cause!"
"This old servant is worried that if Miss Liao really falls for the young master..."
"Then let's clean it up before she gets tempted."
A ruthless glint, never before seen on Madam Jiang's kind and gentle face, flashed across her face.
"Should we ask Miss Biao for help?"
"She has only been in the capital for a short time, and we don't need her yet! Please invite Second Madam over later!"
"But I'm afraid that Second Madam is also being targeted by Sixth Miss!"
"The more it's like this, the easier it is to fish in troubled waters!"
After Grandma Jiang finished her meal, Qiu Xia led her to Zhaotai Courtyard.
It was supposed to be her turn to care for the sick person today, so it didn't attract anyone's attention...
When Grandma Jiang returned to the courtyard that evening, Grandpa Jiang was waiting for her.
"What does Mother want you to do this time? Is she asking you and me to harm Lin-ge'er?"
Second Madam Jiang nodded, trembling, and said, "Second Master, this is not a good matter! Putting aside everything else, even if we succeed, given A-Zi's current temperament, plus Miss Liao, we will definitely be..."
She choked back tears as she said, "We don't care, but what about An'er? He's my only child, and all I want is for him to be healthy and safe!"
Jiang Erye felt a pang of sadness when he thought of his son who had been living away from home.
"Send An'er away tomorrow, the farther the better!"
Grandma Jiang smiled bitterly, "Do you think Mother would do as we wish? She entrusted this matter to us today, how could she not be wary of us!"
For a long time, neither of them spoke again, but they could both see regret in each other's eyes!
They shouldn't have had such delusions back then. For the sake of the Marquis's position, they made a deal with the devil. Now they regret it, but there's no turning back.
After a long while, Grandma Jiang murmured, "Why is she doing this? Everything is clearly in her best interest, yet she tries to drag us all down with her, not even sparing her own son! She even..."
Grandma Jiang didn't continue, she just sighed deeply!
"I heard that she didn't marry my father willingly. She was already engaged, but her fiancé died in battle, and that's why she married my father! As for why that happened, I can't find out at all!"
The father and father faced each other in sorrow once again.
A moment later, with a look of desperation on his face, Second Master Jiang said, "Go and see An'er tomorrow!"
"But my repeated departures from the manor have surely been noticed and remembered by A-Zi. If I were to..."
"That's exactly right!"
At first, Grandma Jiang didn't understand, but as Grandpa Jiang whispered, her eyes gradually cleared. "I know what to do!"
