Lao Qin drove directly to the second gate of Dongping Marquis's Mansion.
Ah Man helped Jiang Yi get off the carriage and walked inside.
The old woman guarding the second gate smiled and said hello: "Ah Man, the fourth lady must be tired——"
The woman swallowed the rest of the words and said in a strange tone: "Is this the eldest aunt?"
"My eldest aunt is feeling a little unwell. I'll help her to Haitangju right away. Let's stop talking for now."
"Hey, hey——" The gatekeeper finally reacted after Ah Man helped Jiang Yi walk away quickly.
Why did my aunt come back out of nowhere, and look like this?
After a brief thought, the gatekeeper hurried to report to Old Madam Feng.
Jiang Yi was supported by Ah Man and walked to the door of Haitangju. She finally regained consciousness and pointed in the direction of Cixintang with difficulty.
At this time, all of Jiang Yi's weight was on Ah Man, but Ah Man was still agile and kept dragging Jiang Yi into Haitangju.
As for what Jiang Yi meant by pointing at Ci Xin Tang?
Oh, how could she, a little maid with only brute force, understand?
When Old Madam Feng received the report from her servant, she was shocked and tensed up all over.
It's no wonder that Madam Feng is nervous. Too many bad things have happened in the past few months. Now that the year is almost over, she should be thankful that everything is peaceful and smooth.
"Go to Haitangju and invite my aunt over."
Ah Fu followed Madam Feng's order to go to Haitangju to invite someone. Ah Man stepped forward and said, "The eldest aunt can't get out of bed. Sister Ah Fu, I'll go and report to the old lady."
In Ah Fu's mind, Jiang Yi, who was already married, was a guest. Given the current situation, there was no point in forcing the guest to get up, so he had to take Ah Man with him to report.
When Mrs. Feng saw that Jiang Yi hadn't come over, her brows immediately furrowed and she asked in a cold voice, "Where is the eldest aunt?"
Facing Old Madam Feng, Ah Man did not shrink back like a servant, and said in a crisp voice, "Rest in Haitangju."
Ah Fu whispered to Old Madam Feng about Jiang Yi's situation.
"What's going on?"
Ah Man blinked and said, "I don't know. The young lady asked me to send the eldest aunt back first."
Ah Fu on the side gritted his teeth secretly.
This Ah Man is also a cunning person. He just said he came to reply to Madam Feng, but he actually knew nothing about anything.
"Where is the fourth girl?"
"The girl is with the master now. It's almost time for her to be back." Ah Man said uncertainly.
Old Madam Feng simply closed her eyes and waited silently for Jiang Ancheng to return home.
After Jiang Ancheng came back, he went straight to Ci Xin Hall and told Madam Feng everything that had happened in detail without waiting for her to interrogate him.
After hearing this, Madam Feng was so angry that her hands were shaking: "My father was having an affair with another woman outside, and you took your daughter back to her parents' home?"
"Mother, that beast Zhu Ziyu is not just having an affair with another woman, he has the intention of harming Yier!"
Madam Feng waved her hands, looking unconvinced: "This is just your guess, it can't be accurate. Besides, Princess Rongyang said that and took her daughter away, obviously to sever ties with the Zhu family. Who can shake Yi'er's position? You are taking her back now without caring about anything, have you thought about how it will end in the future?"
Jiang Ancheng was surprised: "What do you mean by how it ends? My son brought Yi'er back, of course he wants to divorce Zhu Ziyu."
"Impossible!" Madam Feng raised her voice so high that the maids and servants serving in the room lowered their heads in fear.
Madam Feng stood up and pointed at Jiang Ancheng in anger, "Don't even think about it! Jiang Yi can only divorce Zhu Ziyu if I die! First the fourth girl broke off the engagement, then the second girl broke off the engagement, and now the eldest girl is asking for a divorce. Boss, don't you want to watch the Bo's Mansion become a laughing stock in the whole capital? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"
A sneer sounded.
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the person who spoke.
Old Madam Feng became even more angry because of Jiang Si's laughter. She asked word by word, "Fourth girl, what are you laughing at?"
Jiang Si took a step forward, getting closer to Old Madam Feng, and said calmly, "My granddaughter wants to laugh, of course it's because it's ridiculous!"
Old Madam Feng raised her cane and asked, "What did you say?"
Jiang Zhan stared at Old Madam Feng with a wary look on his face, ready to snatch the cane away if it fell on his sister.
Jiang Si, however, didn't care about the threat of the cane at all, and spoke like pearls: "My granddaughter broke off the engagement because the third son of the Duke of Anguo eloped with a commoner girl and committed suicide for love; my second sister broke off the engagement because the son of the Marquis of Changxing tortured and killed an innocent woman; my father wanted my eldest sister to divorce Zhu Ziyu because Zhu Ziyu had an affair with the eldest princess's daughter and had the evil intention of murdering his first wife. Grandmother, the people in the capital are also laughing at them. After all, we sisters are all victims. What's shameful about it?"
"Where?" Old Madam Feng was almost mad at her granddaughter's outrageous remarks. She said in a hateful voice, "Who told you to be reborn as daughters? This world is not about reasoning. Do you think that if the man becomes a joke, the woman can stay out of it? If that's the case, why hasn't anyone come to propose marriage to you yet?"
"Mother!" Jiang Ancheng didn't expect that Madam Feng, a grandmother, would say such harsh words to her granddaughter. He blurted out, "Who said no one came to propose marriage? It's just that my son was not very satisfied and rejected it."
Old Madam Feng had not expected such an unexpected gain from such a casual remark. She was so surprised that she even forgot about Jiang Yi and stared at Jiang Ancheng: "Who is proposing marriage?"
Jiang Ancheng regretted what he said and touched his nose.
I have already politely declined the proposal, and it doesn't seem very kind to bring it up again now.
Old Madam Feng sneered and was too lazy to say a word.
She knew that the eldest brother was just trying to show off for his daughter.
This sneer successfully provoked the enemy.
Jiang Ancheng waved his hand to drive the servants out of the room, ignoring Jiang Si's eyes that tried to stop him, and said with a smile: "I haven't told you that the Zhen family asked my son to marry Si'er not long ago."
"Which Zhen family?" Old Madam Feng subconsciously thought of someone and immediately denied it in her heart.
Impossible, how could it be the Zhen family!
"Of course it's Lord Zhen, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He asked for Si'er to marry on behalf of his eldest son." Jiang Ancheng said with some pride, "Mother should have heard of Lord Zhen's eldest son, who is the winner of the imperial examination this autumn."
Jiang Zhan and Old Madam Feng gasped at the same time.
When did Lord Zhen target his sister? It was simply impossible to guard against it.
Mrs. Feng had another reaction: "Boss, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Mother, would I say something like this? If it didn't happen, how can I live as a human being if it gets out?"
Hearing Jiang Ancheng's words, Old Madam Feng believed most of it. She looked at Jiang Si suspiciously, and said what was in her heart out of shock: "Why would the Zhen family take a fancy to the fourth girl?"
Jiang Si didn't know how the discussion of her elder sister ended up involving her. She became angry when she heard what Old Madam Feng said, and said calmly, "Granddaughter has a great advantage. Grandmother, have you never discovered it?"
