Jiang family in Huaizhou City.
Madam Jiang had a dark blue brocade ribbon with orchid patterns covering her head. Her eyes were half closed and she let out uncomfortable moans from time to time.
"Madam, please have some porridge. Your body won't be able to bear it if you don't eat it."
The nanny held the white jade bowl and handed it to Cao.
Cao turned her head to the side and said, "I can't eat it. Let's put it aside for now."
At this time, the maid's voice came from outside the door again: "Third Young Master, Third Young Master, Madam is resting, you can't go in..."
Soon the door was opened, and voices, along with a biting chill, rushed into the inner room. Cao couldn't help but shiver.
Jiang Xin rushed into the inner room without a care in the world, and as soon as he saw his mother, he complained, "Mom! It's fine that you've confined me to my home, but why did you let my eldest brother cut off the monthly allowance for our third room? You know I have a lot of social engagements every month. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to lose the money?"
Cao didn't know about the suspension of the monthly period. After a little thought, she realized that it was the eldest wife's idea, but she didn't have the energy to take care of it for the time being.
She looked at her dandy little son and trembled with anger. "Respect? You evil creature, you still have respect? You've been reported to the government office. If your eldest brother hadn't paid you to settle it, what face would you have left?"
Jiang Xin sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it, he said nonchalantly, "They are just troublemakers. Can't we just deal with them casually? Big brother's concubine can be brought in safely. At most, I can give that woman a legitimate status. In the future, she can enjoy the Jiang family's incense and offerings. It can be considered a blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes!"
"Kneel down!" Cao roared in anger, unable to bear it any longer.
The nanny hurried forward and patted her on the back. "Madam, please be careful. The Third Young Master has always been like this, don't you know that? Just explain the pros and cons to him slowly."
"Third Young Master, if you could deal with it so casually, Master and Madam wouldn't both be sick in bed. You should go back earlier and let Madam have some peace and quiet..."
Cao closed her eyes wearily. This child wasn't hers; it was clearly a sin from a past life. Even Yinxue had guessed that something serious was going on, yet her youngest son hadn't noticed, his only thought being eating, drinking, and having fun.
She thought quietly, wondering if the people she sent out had succeeded...
As long as Chen Su is not dead, she will not be able to rest in peace even if she dies.
Compared with the bustling Jiang family, the Jiang's Tofu Shop in Beichuan County is even more lively.
During the Lantern Festival, the whole family came to the county town. Qian Xiuzhu and Jiang Tao closed their shop early, and the family ate dumplings in the shop.
After dinner, Jiang Sanlang mysteriously brought Shen Huaixu and others to the backyard of the shop, where several beautiful lanterns were neatly arranged.
“These lanterns are so beautiful!”
Jiang Fu excitedly pulled Jiang Rong over to take a closer look.
"The painting on the lamp is so cute." Liu Ye'er looked at it with sparkling eyes, obviously liking it very much.
Shen Huaixu looked at Jiang Sanlang, "Third brother, did you ask me for money to buy this? Or did you make this yourself?"
"How do you know?!" Jiang Sanlang was greatly surprised. He immediately covered his mouth with a look of regret.
He had wanted to tell this story loudly and proudly, but now it was all over.
Chen Huaixu laughed out loud, "The painting on the lamp is the one I drew for my sister! Isn't that silly?"
There are some cute Q-version animals and plants on it, how can you not guess it?
Jiang Wei added, "Third brother has been learning from an old man for quite some time. It's been very hard."
"Can't you just let me tell you?" Jiang Sanlang couldn't help stamping his feet.
Jiang Huaixu picked up a lantern and bowed with a smile, "No wonder you've been coming to the county town so often these days. Thank you, Third Brother. It's so thoughtful of you."
Liu Ye'er and others also followed Shen Huaixu's example and thanked Jiang Sanlang.
Jiang Sanlang was so embarrassed that he kept thanking him that he urged him to leave.
A few people called Jiang Erlang, lit the lanterns, and repeatedly reminded him not to run around before going out to the street and following the crowd.
Jiang Erlang carried Jiang Rong and walked to Shen Huaixu, "Where is the Marquis?"
"She was called away by Lidong." Shen Huaixu paused, glanced at Jiang Rong who was looking at her with her big grape-like eyes, raised his hand and pinched her little face.
Jiang Erlang understood and handed Jiang Rong to Jiang Sanlang, and he and Shen Huaixu fell one step behind.
"Someone just tried to assassinate them, and that family probably couldn't handle it anymore, so they came up with this despicable plan."
Jiang Erlang looked up at the crowd in front of him, and it was hard to imagine what kind of undercurrent was surging among them.
"I heard you say before that the Jiang family's roots are all in the Huaizhou area. I guess they can't reach that far. If they fail in one strike, they will become a pile of loose sand. There is nothing to worry about. Don't worry too much."
Chen Huaixu smiled and shook his head. "I'm not worried. There are other people who should be worried. That group of people are going to have a hard time."
Qian Xiuzhu once told her about her dream. She was actually very curious why the Jiang family had been looking for the original body in Qian Xiuzhu's dream.
According to the time, Lord Shen had already passed away. Although the Jiang family claimed that they were looking for the original body, they did not find anything wrong when Mrs. Liu sent Jiang Wei away. In the dream, Qian Xiuzhu learned the news that Jiang Wei was going to get married before she died. It can be seen that it doesn't matter whether the one found is the original body or not.
What was important? The identity of Lord Shen's daughter?
What's important is that this marriage was completed with Lord Shen's daughter.
Shen Huaixu stopped abruptly, and a possibility slowly emerged in his mind.
Jiang Erlang turned to look at Shen Huaixu, "What happened?"
Shen Huaixu was shocked by her own thoughts. She blinked and shook her head slowly, "No, I just suddenly thought of something."
"Second brother! Youngest sister! Someone is setting off fireworks on the bridge ahead! Come quickly!"
Shuangjiang squeezed over from somewhere and said to Shen Huaixu, "Miss, the Marquis wants you to go to Zuixian Tower to watch the lanterns and fireworks."
Chen Huaixu responded and asked Jiang Erlang to call back Jiang Sanlang and others in front, and the group walked towards Zuixianlou.
Zuixianlou has two floors. The first floor is bustling with people. On the second floor, Shen Huaixu only saw Dahan and Xiaohan. "Miss, the Marquis is waiting for you in the private room."
As soon as they stepped into the private room, everyone's attention was attracted by the snacks on the table.
"The view is best here." Chen Su waved his hand, signaling everyone to come to the window.
Jiang Wei couldn't take her eyes off the table. She swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Hou, can I try this..."
Chen Su smiled and said, "I prepared it just for you, just eat it without worry."
After a slight jump of joy, everyone sat down politely and talked in low voices while eating.
Soon, the dark sky outside the window became lively with fireworks.
Shen Huaixu stood with Shen Su and asked with a depressed look, "Dad, you and mother didn't arrange a marriage for me, right?"
Although the sound of fireworks exploding in the air was loud, Chen Su and Jiang Erlang were both people with sharp hearing. After hearing this sentence, they were both stunned.
