Which Jiang Wan Ning is in Chapter 74?
"Enjoy the fruits of others' labor? You make it sound so easy. Why don't you switch places with me?"
"Let me show off the airs of this young master of the Marquis's mansion!"
"Everyone knows that money can't beat power and influence. You gave me some silver, which allowed me to live comfortably for a few years."
"But you're leaving anyway, aren't you? It's all to prepare your dowry. You're marrying that prince, why do you need so much?"
"Why didn't you leave all this silver to your brother?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanru angrily swept the entire tea set off the table, saying, "Have you no shame?"
"Your mother didn't give you that much silver, so where did you get those tens of thousands of taels?"
"Over the years, I've been receiving a few taels of silver a month, and I haven't dared to live too luxuriously in terms of food and lodging."
They were afraid people would criticize the illegitimate child for being more extravagant than the legitimate child.
"My mother always made me pretend, pretend to be indifferent to worldly affairs, and pretend not to care about worldly things like gold and silver."
"But she secretly gave you all that money!"
Seeing Jiang Wanru like this, Zhang Sheng's pent-up resentment from all these years erupted instantly.
She raised her foot and kicked Jiang Wanru hard in the stomach, saying, "What right do you have to talk to me like that?"
Jiang Wanru was kicked back two steps, bent over and clutched her stomach, "How dare you hit me?"
Zhang Sheng was also taken aback, but then he felt it was nothing. She had enjoyed so many years of happiness, and he hadn't bothered to find fault with her.
Instead, they started blaming themselves.
"So what if I hit you? What? You think I can't hit you back?"
"If you hadn't been so trusting of outsiders, how could you have been swindled out of so much money?"
"Your manor is so vast, you certainly have the ability to repay a mere tens of thousands of taels. See how your mother can marry that prince with some dignity so that you can do it."
They actually took all the silver from me.
"I've already shown mercy by not going to the Marquis's residence to expose you."
"Go back and tell them to bring the money back to me as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, no one will have an easy time!"
Jiang Wanru was no longer listening to what Zhang Sheng was saying, but she was not afraid of his threats.
"Hmph, if you don't want to enjoy wealth and luxury in the future, go ahead and sue me, go ahead and say something!"
"At worst, I'll let my mother suffer with you in the end. I'm still the concubine's daughter of the Marquis's family."
"As long as I insist that I am Jiang Zheng's daughter, what can anyone do to me?"
Jiang Wanru is right. Zhang Sheng really doesn't dare to do that, because if he did, he would easily cut off his own source of income.
Seeing that Zhang Sheng had lost his spirit, Jiang Wanru finally understood what he had said.
"You just said we've met before, who have you met?"
Zhang Sheng slumped into a chair nearby, saying, "It's not you I'm talking about."
"I'm asking you who you are!"
As Jiang Wanru calmed down, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have been set up.
Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang?
Zhang Sheng vaguely recounted his encounter with Jiang Wan Ning that day, saying, "Anyway, I don't have any money right now."
"Since you're here today, go tell them that if they don't send me money soon, I'll starve to death."
Jiang Wanru snapped out of her daze, grabbed a vase from the side, and smashed it at Zhang Sheng, yelling, "Idiot!"
"The person I met that day wasn't Miss Jiang at all, but Jiang Wan Ning!"
"I don't care who she is, Jiang Wan Ning... Who are you talking about? Jiang Wan Ning? Which Jiang Wan Ning?"
"It could be any other Jiang Wan Ning!"
Zhang Sheng then realized he had been tricked, but fortunately he didn't say anything more that day.
"It seems she suspected it all along." Jiang Wanru snorted coldly. "Since she already knows, then we can't wait any longer."
Zhang Sheng asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Wanru glanced at Zhang Sheng, "Good brother, isn't Jiang Wanning very pretty?"
Zhang Sheng lowered his head and remained silent.
"How about making her your wife?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhang Sheng stood up in fear, glanced outside, and said, "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you."
"Who in the capital doesn't know that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan is the future Princess Consort of Langya?"
"You want her to be my wife? I'm afraid I'll have the desire, but not the life to enjoy it!"
"Hmph!" Jiang Wanru snorted coldly, "Just tell me whether you want to or not, and I'll naturally have my own way of doing it."
"If I remember correctly, the prayer festival is in two days, and noble ladies and gentlemen from prominent families will all flock to Huguo Temple."
"Take this opportunity to pray for a good marriage and future prospects."
"This year's prayer festival will be even more crowded, so you just need to arrive early and wait somewhere..."
This year, the prayer festival and the emperor's birthday are only ten days apart.
The current emperor is only thirty-five years old, in the prime of his life, and many people want to rise to a higher position.
This Huguo Temple is said to be very effective for praying for marriage, and you might even meet the emperor.
There are always people who think they can try their luck and maybe even meet the emperor ahead of time.
Zhang Sheng felt a little worried, but then, remembering Jiang Wan Ning's stunningly beautiful face, he asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"As long as you don't mess things up, this will definitely succeed."
Every year, without fail, the Zhou family would go to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings.
Jiang Wan Ning always accompanies her, and this year is no exception.
Once Jiang Wan Ning has lost face in front of everyone, let's see how she'll still have the face to marry the Prince of Langya.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but you need to give me some silver first,” Zhang Sheng said.
"Where would I possibly have any money left?!"
"Why don't you have one in the Marquis's mansion? Why don't you take a look at the gold hairpin in your hair? It's worth at least ten taels of silver."
"My mother took all my money. If you don't give me any, how am I supposed to go to Huguo Temple?"
"Or I should go ask my mother for it."
"Wait!" Jiang Wanru held her breath, pulled the gold hairpin off her head, and threw it on the table. "This must not be told to Mother."
"She's becoming more and more cautious these days."
"At this rate, I don't know when it will be accomplished."
It seems I have to take my mother's place and make a deal with that person.
At the spring banquet that day, I had hoped to take the opportunity to talk to that person, but I made a fool of myself and was too embarrassed to go forward.
If I get that person's help, I'm sure I'll be more successful than my mother.
......
Jiang Wan Ning returned to the Marquis's residence.
Haitang told Jiang Wanru in detail about her meeting with Zhang Sheng.
Jiang Wan Ning took the towel that Shao Yao handed her and gently wiped her face. "I didn't expect her to be so restless and go looking for me so quickly."
"It's a pity that I didn't hear what they were saying."
"The fact that they didn't turn against me in the end means that they already knew that I was the one who went to see Zhang Sheng that day."
"Let's wait and see, the fox's tail will eventually be revealed."
Spring breeze caresses the willows.
The monks at Huguo Temple always preach in the morning.
therefore,
Those with Buddhist members in their families usually arrive the day before.
Jiang Wanning stayed with Zhou Shi.
Shen Ruzhi was busy with Shen Zhao all day long, and there was no one else in the mansion.
So they went along too.
The three of them were originally supposed to sleep in a meditation room that night.
However, the meditation room that was originally booked was leaking during a rainy day, so we had to change to a smaller meditation room.
Jiang Wanru suggested, "How about Sister Shen and Mother share a room, and I share a room with my sister?"
To outsiders, there was nothing wrong with what she said, since Shen Ruzhi had never liked Jiang Wanru.
Just then, Jiang Wan Ning also wanted to see what tricks she was up to, so she replied, "Okay."
