Chapter 22: Being Extorted Again



Dirty stuff?

If Yan Zhuo knew that he had received such a title, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood!

However, others did not dare to disrespect the royal family, but Old Lady Jiang was not afraid.

Who made the three generations of elders and heads of the Jiang family sacrifice themselves for the three emperors with the surname Yan? Now her son Jiang Shang, who inherited the title not long ago, also shed blood on the battlefield for the Yan family's kingdom.

So she had the confidence. It was just a granted marriage, and it would not be a big deal if she didn't marry.

What makes me angry is that Luo has already agreed. It really proves the saying: I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!

Yin Ping didn't dare to slander her master. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees and said, "That's not true! The eldest lady must have only seen Prince Yan from afar a few times and secretly admired him. She wouldn't dare to do anything private."

I thought to myself: Even if the legitimate daughter is willing, it depends on whether Prince Yan will cooperate, right?

Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Yan was cold and heartless, and was not born with any sympathy for women.

Didn’t something interesting happen two years ago?

The daughter of the Minister of Justice fell in love with Prince Yan at first sight and pursued him relentlessly. Prince Yan got annoyed and asked her to go to his library and tortured her with ten cruel methods until she turned pale.

From then on, Miss Zhuang trembled when she heard the word "punishment". Even her father, the Minister of Punishment, avoided her and refused to see her, saying that he smelled like a corpse.

It’s not healed yet.

Yinping couldn't understand why the young lady would fall for such a Rakshasa King.

"That's good." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't want the Jiang family to do anything shameless.

But on second thought, it doesn’t seem to be much better now?

Such a good lady from a noble family, but she has to take on such a mess!

She slapped her chest twice, feeling suffocated. "What a fool! Just like her mother! A girl, so proud and self-respecting, yet she's asking for trouble and making a fool of herself!"

Nanny Tang comforted her, "Old Madam, look at what you said. You know what Prince Yan looks like. In the whole capital, not only our daughter, but also many girls from other noble families have secretly fallen in love with Prince Yan. It's just that he has a reputation for being a vicious person, so nothing has happened."

After all, there is no shortage of people who love beauty in every world.

The old lady snorted, "The emperor is the same. He takes his turn to extort money, but why is it our Jiang family? My eldest brother was blinded after blocking an arrow for him, and my second brother broke his head while saving his son. The Jiang family has already lost two grandchildren for him, and he still wants to point out my only granddaughter. This is really too much!"

Nanny Tang said respectfully, "Old Madam, you are just saying this in anger. If the Emperor hadn't thought about compensating the Jiang family, why would he remember our Sister Lin?

"Prince Yan is the emperor's cousin and is highly valued. What kind of talented lady wouldn't be a good match for him?

"Besides, even if others are extremely good, it's useless if our Sister Lin doesn't like them."

"After all is said and done, I, an old lady, have to agree to this marriage even if I have to hold my nose?" Lian was so unhappy.

Nanny Tang bowed and said, "It's not as bad as the old lady thinks. As a man, every man has three wives and four concubines. It just depends on the order.

"This is also the reason why the emperor does not take the concubine seriously.

"She's just a concubine, not something that can be put on the table. Perhaps once she enters the mansion, she won't be so attractive. By then, with our daughter's talent and ability, there's no need to worry about not winning the heart of Prince Yan."

The four children in the mansion, the eldest brother Jiang Yuanyi, the second brother Jiang Yuanchen, the third brother Jiang Yuanlang, and the legitimate daughter Jiang Yilin, were all raised by Nanny Tang.

Emotionally, they are almost the same as their own children.

She said so much, firstly to prevent the old lady from getting angry with the lady, as it would be not worth it to get herself hurt, and secondly, to curry favor with the eldest daughter.

Before coming to Xiangguo Temple, Miss Di had secretly visited her and given her a golden locket, saying it was a full-moon gift for her grandson.

Please ask her to help ease the relationship between the lady and the old lady when appropriate.

Nanny Tang thought she was sensible and gave her some advice, which didn't go against the principles.

After a few more words, the old lady's attitude finally softened.

"Forget it. She chose her own path. What can I do? If I interfere too much, her unreasonable mother will turn a blind eye to me."

He said that it was all because of her that his elder and second brothers were ruined.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Pack your things and go home early tomorrow morning." After dinner, the old lady still felt uncomfortable all over and could not help but give the order.

Nanny Tang was surprised. "This...it's not even the forty-nineth day yet."

This time I deliberately went up the mountain for such a long time, firstly to give Luo family a warning, and secondly, to pray for blessings.

For the eldest brother, for the second brother, and for the Duke who is far away in the northern border.

Nanny Tang didn't expect that the old lady would suddenly want to go down the mountain. After all, the time had not come yet. Not only would it seem insincere, but if it offended the Buddha and Bodhisattva, that would be a serious matter.

The old lady was annoyed. "My family is in dire straits, why should I pray for blessings? Don't wait until I finish praying for blessings here before someone else gets into trouble at home! I still feel uneasy about Sister Lin'er's marriage. I'm going to go back and find out who that concubine is!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Tang couldn't help laughing. "Haha, this old servant knew it. The old lady has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She always says that Sister Lin has a gloomy temper, unlike the children of the Jiang family. At the critical moment, she still cares, doesn't she?"

"Do I care about her? I just haven't seen my elder and second brothers for a long time. I want to go back and look after them, so that the servants who take care of them won't be half-hearted!" As she said that, the old lady drank a glass of spiritual spring water in one gulp.

He exclaimed in admiration, "This medicine is really good, effective yet not difficult to drink. Let's go to Miss Jiang's place later to say goodbye to her and ask for more medicinal stones."
