Old Madam Feng took away Xiao's housekeeper's power in a few words. She didn't care about Xiao's embarrassment at all and held out her hand to Jiang Si: "Si'er, accompany grandma back to Cixin Hall. Grandma has something to ask you."
Jiang Si lowered his eyes to the wrinkled hand, his gaze slightly cold: "If you don't eat the meat buns that Ah Man bought, they will get cold. I'll go over after my granddaughter has breakfast.
Having said that, he ignored Madam Feng's frozen expression and left leisurely with Ah Man.
Old Madam Feng was humiliated in public, but she could only hold her anger in her heart. She slowly ordered the servants to invite Jiang Ancheng and the second old master Jiang to return home.
Back at Haitangju, Ah Man couldn't help but hug Jiang Si's arm and shook it violently: "Ahhhh, girl, you're a princess!"
Aqiao stood aside and glanced at Jiang Si's other arm.
Although I really want to do the same as Ah Man, but... is the position of princess really what the girl wants?
She couldn't help but think of the young man who came in the night, and the love words she overheard by chance that made her blush.
The girl's favorite is not the Prince of Yan, but Master Yu.
Ah Qiao looked at Jiang Si worriedly: "Girl——"
Ah Man seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped moving, covering his mouth and saying, "Miss, you have become the Princess of Yan, what about Master Yu?"
I was just focusing on making the girl proud, how come I forgot about Mr. Yu.
It is definitely not as convenient to open the windows of Prince Yan's Mansion as those of the Earl's Mansion.
Jiang Si smiled calmly and said, "Master Yu is the King of Yan."
"What?" The two maids exclaimed in unison.
Ah Man held his face in his hands and said dazedly: "Miss, the Master Yu you said climbed over the wall to look for you at night is, is it... the King of Yan?"
"Um."
Ah Man poked Ah Qiao hard: "Ah Qiao, pinch me to see if I am dreaming."
After her initial shock, Ah Qiao quickly calmed down.
Yes, if the Prince of Yan was not Master Yu, how could the girl be so calm?
The Prince of Yan is Master Yu, and the girl has become the Princess of Yan. This is really great.
Soon the maid came in to report: "Miss, the third, fifth and sixth girls are all here."
"Please come in."
Different from the bustling Haitangju, Cixintang is quiet and peaceful.
Old Madam Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, still feeling as if she were dreaming.
"Mother Feng, how did the fourth girl become a princess?"
The fourth girl made a bet with her a few years ago. Could it be that -
Mother Feng was in a dilemma.
She was just a servant, and usually, relying on her reputation in front of the old lady, she would say a few words about her master. But now the fourth lady was the future princess, and it was not something a servant like her could comment on casually.
But I have to reply to the old lady's words.
Mother Feng smiled and said, "Didn't the emperor say that our fourth young lady is kind and honest, with outstanding appearance and character... I have always thought that the fourth young lady is a person of great fortune."
Madam Feng sighed, "Yes, it is indeed a great fortune."
She never dreamed that Jiang Si would become the princess, and that the Dongping Marquis's Mansion would become the Prince of Yan's in-laws!
In the end, the most promising of all the young people in the mansion turned out to be the fourth girl.
Old Madam Feng felt both regretful and annoyed.
If she had known this would happen, she should not have been so cold and dismissive towards the fourth girl, and especially should not have said yesterday that she would be punished by being put in confinement.
But it's no use regretting now, I can only try to ease the relationship in the future.
"Mother, did the fourth young lady really receive the imperial edict?" Elder Jiang Er asked as he came in.
Old Madam Feng nodded slowly.
"How come?"
Seeing that Mr. Jiang was in despair, Mrs. Feng frowned and said, "This is a good thing!"
Elder Jiang Er came back to his senses and agreed with a smile: "Mother is right, it is of course a great joy."
The eldest brother's daughter became a princess. Although it was a great pity that his dream of many years ended in failure, it was a blessing in disguise, but since he had established a relationship with the royal family, it was a blessing in disguise.
With this help, his official career will go more smoothly. If he can become a prime minister and hold real power in the future, it will be much better than being an uncle in name only.
Facing her favorite son, Old Madam Feng had nothing to hide: "I have already given instructions that the affairs of the mansion will be managed by the third son's wife for the time being. Your wife can just concentrate on taking care of herself in the future."
Jiang Er Lao Ye didn't even blink: "It should be so. It's just a nuisance to have a housekeeper when you're not feeling well."
He no longer had much affection for Xiao. He felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about how she had been abducted by someone for a day and a night and then returned safely.
Old Madam Feng smiled.
She knew that the second child had always been the one that gave her the least worry.
Jiang Ancheng walked in at this time: "Mother sent someone to say that there is an emergency at home. I wonder what it is?"
Unlike the second master Jiang, Madam Feng specifically instructed the servant who delivered the letter not to tell Jiang Ancheng anything, for fear that her eldest son would have a seizure.
People are not afraid anymore when they come back.
"Today, the imperial edict came, and Si'er was given to the King of Yan as his princess -"
Before Madam Feng finished her words, Jiang Ancheng drew his sword and walked out.
"Hurry up and stop Uncle!"
There was a commotion, and Jiang Er Laoye desperately snatched the sword down: "Brother, are you crazy?"
Madam Feng was so angry that she was shaking. "Boss, what are you doing with that sword? Do you want more than a hundred people in the Bo's house to be buried with you?"
Jiang Ancheng let out a breath and felt extremely depressed.
Madam Feng slammed the table and said, "Look at what you are like! If you spread this out, will the nobles think that we are dissatisfied with this marriage? Boss, wake up! It is a blessing for the fourth girl to be a princess!"
"It's better not to have this blessing." Jiang Ancheng felt a splitting headache and stamped his feet. "Forget it, I'm going to see the doctor!"
As I approached Haitangju, I heard bursts of girls' laughter coming from inside the house.
Jiang Ancheng paused.
It didn't seem as bad as he thought.
"The big boss is here."
Except Jiang Yi and Jiang Qian, all the girls of Jiang Si's generation were there, including Dou Shuwan.
Seeing Jiang Ancheng coming in, everyone hurriedly left.
Only the father and daughter were left. Jiang Ancheng was depressed and blamed himself: "Si'er, it is your father who has let you down. If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to Master Zhen's proposal and you would not have fallen into the big fire pit of the royal family."
Jiang Si couldn't help laughing: "It's not as scary as my father said."
It is actually that scary, but her mentality has changed.
"How could the Princess of Yan end up in your head!" Jiang Ancheng was stunned and furious, "It must be that bastard Prince Yan who did this. I'm going to settle the score with him now!"
Jiang Si pulled Jiang Ancheng's sleeve and reminded him softly, "Father, if you go to settle accounts with the King of Yan now, people will suspect that your daughter and the King of Yan have an affair."
Jiang Ancheng was dumbfounded.
Si'er's worry is justified, he can't act impulsively.
Ahhh, that brat Prince Yan killed first and reported later. He is so insidious, so cunning, and such a bastard!
The irritable Mr. Jiang heard his daughter say leisurely: "Besides, my daughter thinks that Mr. Yu is a good person and I am very happy with him."
Jiang Ancheng: “…” He might be hallucinating.
