Chapter 6: Mrs. Li's Action
When Li Mingyue saw her mother agreed, she immediately hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly.
In this family, only her mother is the most sincere to her.
As long as she can marry Brother Chengye as she wishes this time, she will be the Crown Prince's wife in the Duke's Mansion in the future. Let's see if those bastards in the backyard dare to look down on her and her daughter.
Jiang Xinyu was taking a stroll in the backyard at the moment. When she heard that Mrs. Li came to apologize on behalf of Li Mingyue, she immediately smiled.
She is such a loving mother. Her efficiency is absolutely amazing.
She originally thought that the result would come out tomorrow, but Mrs. Li couldn't wait even one night.
There is naturally a set of procedures for visiting an official's family. Mrs. Li first went to hand over the visiting card to Aunt Liu.
She just said that Mingyue from her family had a little quarrel with Miss Jiang in the morning, and as a result, the child did not know the seriousness of the matter and accepted such expensive jewelry. As a mother, she naturally had to return a gift.
Jiang Wanqiu had already told her about this during lunch, so Liu didn't find it strange.
Mrs. Li was good at managing her household and had thorough etiquette, so this was not a big deal. After a few pleasantries, she had someone lead her to Jiang Xinyu's yard.
Mrs. Li put on a full show. As soon as she saw Jiang Xinyu, she apologized repeatedly and then presented her with a valuable gift.
After the maid served the tea, Madam Li winked, and the maid of the Li family immediately understood and coaxed Chun Xingxing and the others to leave under the pretext of watching the flowers.
When Jiang Xinyu was the only one left in the room, Mrs. Li explained her purpose.
Looking at the Jiang family's eldest daughter, who was as weak as a willow with a pair of big watery eyes, Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Even though eunuchs are rootless, their view on women should be not much different from that of ordinary men.
Although the silly girl in my family is good, she is much inferior to the girl from the Jiang family in appearance.
If Jiang Xinyu really married him, I think Governor Xiao would not be dissatisfied.
As long as Prince Xiaoyan was satisfied with accepting this girl, she didn't believe that the Ningguo Mansion would dare to return her Mingyue.
In fact, if time permits, she can take her time to choose. Madam Li doesn't think highly of the Ningguo Mansion.
Everyone in the capital knows it now. That mansion is just a nice-looking one, but because of a series of prodigal sons, it has been unable to make ends meet and has become a mere formality.
But no matter how bad the mansion is, Zhao Chengye is still good.
Marry him or marry a eunuch, anyone who is not a fool knows the choice.
Seeing that Madam Li was frank, Jiang Xinyu did not beat around the bush and said excitedly with a look of anticipation,
"Madam, you are here for the matter between Sister Mingyue and me, but there are rules.
You know, my mother died young, and there was no one to make decisions for me.
Madam, please speak directly if you have anything to say. If you think my behavior has brought harm to Sister Mingyue, you can reprimand me."
Mrs. Li quickly supported Jiang Xinyu who was about to salute.
"Good boy, what are you talking about? Mingyue is always noisy, and I thought she was just joking, but I never thought you would actually have such an idea.
How can this be used?
When your mother was still alive, I often held you in my arms, but later on, because the Liu family took over, I distanced myself from your family.
Although I love my daughter, I can't let you fall into that fire pit.
Let’s not talk about it again at this time.”
Jiang Xinyu didn't show it on the surface, but she was rolling her eyes.
She really is worthy of being the mistress who has been immersed in the rear house for many years. Look how beautifully she speaks. If she were really a little girl, she would have been fooled by her.
But it’s okay this way. I’m not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Mrs. Li would be worried if she was really stupid.
In order to gain people's trust, Jiang Xinyu brought out her own rhetoric again.
Then he added hesitantly, "I know this is a bit absurd.
But I don’t want to be criticized by the world for not being able to have children in the future, and I can’t stand the disappointed look in Brother Chengye’s eyes.
My heart breaks when I think of that scene.
With my body condition, there's nothing wrong with marrying Governor Xiao.
He married a wife just for show, my dowry was rich and I was not bad looking, and my father's official position was not a disgrace to him.
I guess...he wouldn't care too much.
Besides, it is said that eunuchs are the most greedy.
At worst, I can give him more dowry money, and I won’t let him cause trouble to either of our families.”
After hearing this, Li looked at Jiang Xinyu with pity.
No wonder the eldest daughter of a widow is listed as one of the five things that men should not marry. A girl who has not been taught by her own mother is indeed not desirable.
As soon as you see her like this, you can tell that she must have read a lot of romance novels.
Little do they know that those are poisons that harm people. No matter how smart a girl is, she will become confused once she falls in love.
This silly girl will suffer in the future for going to such lengths for a man.
Being a eunuch's wife is not as simple as being a decoration. Such eunuchs will torture you because of their incompetent habits.
Not to mention the young ladies from official families couldn't bear it, even the kiln maids in the brothels were unwilling to serve the eunuch.
But this is not something a little girl can understand, and this confusion has now helped her.
Knowing that Jiang Xinyu really wanted to marry in an arranged marriage, Mrs. Li finally felt relieved.
Since the matter was settled, Mrs. Li immediately said goodbye.
She said that she would make all the arrangements for the rest, and Jiang Xinyu just needed to wait patiently, and she would definitely make her wish come true.
Jiang Xinyu sent Mrs. Li away with a grateful look on her face, and then in a good mood she told Hong Xing to go to the kitchen and bring over some snacks.
Since delicious food can help her restore her body functions, she has to eat more.
Eggs cannot be placed in a basket.
If the marriage exchange fails and she still marries into the Ningguo Mansion, she must be able to escape before the other party kills her.
It's a pity that recovering strength by eating is too slow. It would be great if I could eat spinach like Popeye.
So she stole some money and carried a bag of steamed buns and went wandering around the world.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that ordinary meals are not nutritious enough?
Well...would you like to take some supplements?
This was in ancient times, when medicinal herbs were all wild, much better than those grown with chemical fertilizers today.
In the past, there was a comrade in the superpower team who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He said that long-term martial arts training would definitely require meat and tonics.
High-intensity training overdraws the body's functions. If it is not replenished, it will only make the person useless. Otherwise, how can there be a saying that poor people are good at literature but rich people are good at martial arts?
However, no one in the Jiang family practices martial arts, so forget about the secret recipe for the medicine. The most they can get is some ginseng to replenish their qi and blood.
In line with the principle of not wasting money, Jiang Xinyu immediately sent Chunhong to ask Liu for a hundred-year-old ginseng.
She said that she was nervous and upset before the marriage, and she felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and panting every three steps. If she didn't have a century-old body massager to replenish herself, she might faint while applying makeup tomorrow.
Chunhong wanted to persuade her again, but seeing the girl's stern look, she dared not say a word. She agreed and went to Liu's yard.
This was obviously a tough job, but the young lady had been particularly unwilling to listen to advice since she woke up this morning, and as a maid, she naturally didn't dare to say much.
As expected, when Liu heard that he wanted the century-old ginseng, he was so angry that he covered his chest.
This little bitch who has no mother's education really thinks she is a big shot. She thinks she is worthy of eating a hundred-year-old ginseng.
Jiang Wanqiu was trying to help her mother calm down, but she also felt something was strange.
I don't know what that idiot is up to. Could it be that he thinks he will marry into the Ningguo Mansion and become the Crown Prince's wife, so he starts to act so arrogantly?
But her threat cannot be ignored. If she pretends to faint on the spot when all her relatives and friends come to the photoshoot tomorrow, the image of a loving mother that A-niang has worked hard to maintain for many years will be ruined.
Forget it, just give it to her.
As long as Brother Chengye has her in his heart, Jiang Xinyu's things will fall into her hands sooner or later.
