Chapter 72 Jiang Wanqiu's Heart
Although Mrs. Wang had a lot to say to her niece, she could only hold it in for the time being since Liu and her daughter were here.
However, the way he looked at Liu became increasingly hostile, and his words became more and more sinister, and he didn't even bother to put on a show.
It is rare for Yu'er to grow up to be what she is now without the guidance of her mother.
This is all thanks to the child's good nature. Otherwise, if Liu had deliberately abandoned him, his condition would probably be even worse than the rumors say.
It doesn’t matter. The child is still young, and as her aunt, I should talk to her more about the education she missed in the past.
No matter how she was in the Jiang family in the past, it is all in the past. When a woman gets married, it is her second life. How she will live in the future depends on herself.
After Liu finished speaking, he straightened his chest and tried his best to appear tough to hide his guilty conscience.
"Girl, you can't go back on your word. You promised this."
Jiang Xinyu curled her lips in disdain, "It's just a business card, Auntie, you are too impatient.
It's not some precious thing, how can I deceive you?
Xiao Yuan took a few days off a few days ago because of his marriage. Recently, the Dongchang is too busy and he has to work overtime.
I had originally thought of waiting for his day off to personally deliver it to Dad, but since Auntie can't wait, I'll just take it back with me."
As she spoke, Jiang Xinyu called Jiuyue over and said, "Go to Dongchang and ask Xiao Yuanming whether the invitation card is ready. If it is, bring it back quickly so that your aunt won't be able to sleep."
Oh, by the way, tell him that I miss him and let him go back home to sleep at night.
If the prisoners are interrogated so hard that they don't even go home, then it's not good to lock up a beautiful woman in prison."
Afterwards, Jiang Xinyu smiled slyly and whispered something in Jiuyue's ear. Jiuyue's face instantly turned red and she bowed and hurried to pass on the message.
Her wife dares to say anything, but how can I have the nerve to spread this?
When Mrs. Wang saw that Jiang Xinyu had deliberately sent her maid to talk to Governor Xiao about the name card, she shook her head in disapproval.
"Since the governor is not here, we can just wait until we get it and send it over some other day. Why bother making another trip?
This is not a big deal, it's more important to do official business, can you be two days late and delay your half-brother's chance of taking the imperial examination?"
Jiang Wanqiu listened and smiled harshly, "If my sister is in trouble, there is no need to be stubborn. Although you have already promised, we can wait a few more days.
Don’t look back, if the maid is scolded by Governor Xiao, it will be embarrassing for my sister.”
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes at her in disdain, "You are all thousand-year-old foxes. What are you playing Liao Zhai here for?"
There are no audiences here, so just forget it. You're not tired of acting, but I'm tired of watching you.
If you have time to worry about me, you should focus on your own life.
Has your brother Chengye come to you recently to express his loyalty?
What a pity, I have to spend so much time and effort to study the preferences of everyone in the Ningguo Mansion and curry favor with this one and that one.
As a result, just when it seemed that he was about to succeed, suddenly, everything was gone.
Tsk tsk, even I, as your elder sister, feel sorry for you.
If you can't marry into the Ningguo Mansion, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
Jiang Wanqiu's face turned red with anger when her veil was ripped off.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Chengye and I are innocent.
How can you maliciously hurt your own sister just because your personality doesn't please Lady Ningguo."
Jiang Xinyu shrugged nonchalantly, "It's fine to fool outsiders, but is it fun for us to pretend like this?"
Is it your aunt who doesn't understand you or my aunt who doesn't know what kind of person you are?
He also calls his ex-brother-in-law "Brother Chengye" in a very affectionate way.
Tsk, without my huge dowry as a backing, do you think the people in Ningguo Mansion will still let you be the continuation of the harem?
Even if you get a wedding dowry, the continuation of the marriage can only take place after the first wife dies.
What's the matter? You don't want to use the same tactics on Li Mingyue that you used on me, do you?
Hey, you have called me sister for so many years, whether it is sincere or not, I will give you some advice.
Although Li Mingyue's father did not hold a prominent official position, the Li family was prosperous and powerful.
Not to mention you, a concubine of a fourth-grade official, even if Zhao Chengye wanted to leave his mother with a son, he still had to think twice.
You do have a bright future. If you really can't bear to leave your brother Chengye, then just become his concubine.
Anyway, you and Li Mingyue have been close friends for more than ten years, so how can she not let you in? "
Jiang Wanqiu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth listening to Jiang Xinyu's ridicule.
She did it on purpose. This bitch definitely did it on purpose.
She had known about her family's plan for a long time, and it was possible that she had staged the marriage exchange herself.
It turns out that her previous expression of liking Zhao Chengye was all fake. She was waiting for them to let down their guard so that she could give them a fatal blow.
Then what have I been all these years, a little clown performing for her?
But Jiang Wanqiu quickly denied her own thoughts. Such strong love could not be pretended. This bastard was deliberately provoking her.
She knew that there was no possibility for her and Brother Chengye, so she said that on purpose to annoy her. She couldn't be fooled.
Even if she couldn't marry Brother Chengye, at least she was loved by Brother Chengye.
Jiang Xinyu not only lost her beloved, but also had to live with an inhuman old prisoner. She was much more miserable than me, so I didn't lose.
Jiang Wanqiu kept comforting herself, but her heart felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her.
Although she hooked up with Zhao Chengye because she coveted his identity and wanted to steal Jiang Xinyu's things, she still had true feelings for Zhao Chengye.
But ever since the marriage exchange happened, her aunt sternly told her that she must give up her previous thoughts, saying that her family had not taken the trouble to raise her for so many years to be a concubine.
If I want to be a concubine, I can only be a concubine of the royal family. Don't even think about anything else.
Jiang Wanqiu cried bitterly for several times, cursing Li Mingyue who had snatched her opportunity, cursing Jiang Xinyu who even got on the wrong sedan chair, and even resenting her mother for not making the right arrangements and saying that God was unfair to her.
But after crying, she still couldn't bear to let go, and even thought about making an appointment with Zhao Chengye to meet after the storm had died down a little.
She was absolutely sure that her brother Chengye did not like Li Mingyue.
After all, he had been planning this marriage for so many years, and he had invested too much in it, so he was reluctant to let it go.
But the scene that happened on the day of her return home hurt her deeply, and she was shaken.
That was the first time Jiang Wanqiu faced the importance of power so starkly.
In the past, those noble ladies who attended banquets, although they were high and mighty, were also careful about their reputation and face.
If you don't like someone, you will just be indifferent and not bully them directly by taking advantage of your power.
But Jiang Xinyu, the poor creature who had been driven hysterical by the mother and daughter and could only scream vulgarly, actually turned over.
That woman seemed to have been reborn. Not only did she completely change her father's attitude towards her, but she also suppressed both mother and daughter.
And all this is just because she married a powerful man.
No matter how much she tried to convince herself that Jiang Xinyu would never have a good ending in the future, she couldn't change the fact that she couldn't afford to offend Jiang Xinyu now.
