General Jiang taught his grandson helplessly.
"Even I wouldn't dare to say for sure which members of the army obey the Xiao family! Your grandfather Xiao was more capable than me in his time, and his name will go down in history. I didn't get what I deserved. If you really destroy the Xiao family, I'll have to hold your head and apologize tomorrow!"
"Also, who is Uncle Xiao Qi? He'll definitely be promoted to Minister of War next year. Even though he doesn't command the troops, most military matters have to be communicated through him. If he tries to trip you up, do you think you'll be okay?"
The Ministry of War is in charge of conscription, military registration, and the selection of military officers. It can also convey military orders. These military generals have to be given some face!
Otherwise, when they go to the battlefield to fight, they will risk their lives, but the former Minister of War will make things difficult for them in front of the emperor. Wouldn’t that be disastrous?!
"If Xiao Qi made a mistake and angered you, you could have used force without killing anyone, but you are too stupid to let him run all over the capital, making people think you are stronger and he is weaker! If he gets bullied and goes home to cry, will those brothers of the Xiao family forgive you?" the old general said again.
Jiang Hanyi listened and nodded muffledly: "Grandfather, I understand..."
"Also, what do you think the Hang family is?"
"Hangzhou University is helping me find paintings." Jiang Hanyi is very loyal.
"Help you?! If he really wanted to help you, he would have bought the painting himself without you showing up! You are a pig. You can't even see that people are using you as a knife to deal with Xiao Qi! The backyard of the Hang family is a mess, how good can the men in the family be?!" the old man said again.
Jiang Hanyi was ignorant, but he had no doubt about his grandfather's words.
His grandfather said that the Hang family was a bad family, so he admitted it.
"Then I won't hang out with Hang Lixing anymore." Jiang Hanyi said honestly.
"Alright, just remember this matter. As for Xiao Qi, tomorrow morning, you go and apologize, admit your mistake, and put an end to the gossip outside. A real man should admit his mistakes and it's not shameful to bow your head."
"Oh." Although Jiang Hanyi was not happy, he still responded.
I also regretted it in my heart.
"Is one of your father's concubines...about to give birth?" General Jiang asked again.
Jiang Hanyi was confused.
How would he know this?
General Jiang also secretly said that he was confused, and angrily asked everyone to leave, and then asked the housekeeper to come over and ask about it.
His son has few concubines, only two. After all, he is not young anymore, and the people in the backyard are all old people, so there are not so many messy things in the family.
The pregnant concubine had already given birth to a child, and the baby in her belly would not be due for another month.
There are both legitimate and illegitimate sons in the family. If they wanted to plan, they would not wait until now. Therefore, this pregnancy is very stable and it is impossible to deliver it early.
After thinking about it, General Jiang let the matter go with peace of mind.
Eat and drink enough at night and go to bed early.
When it was dawn, I couldn't help but laugh at myself when I thought of what Xiao Cunyu said yesterday.
This kid from the Xiao family is smart, but he's full of nonsense and doesn't follow the right path. He may have some self-defense skills, but looking at his small arms and legs, I'm afraid he's not very good at close combat.
It’s a pity. If this brain was placed on his grandson’s head, would he still have to worry?
"Old Master, last night, Concubine Liu in your room wanted to stay cool, so she went to the pavilion to get some fresh air and accidentally fainted. Her body was too heavy, and the maids failed to hold her, so she fell into the water... Fortunately, there was no danger. There happened to be a doctor outside the door, who rescued her in time, and you now have a granddaughter." The housekeeper thought of what the old general asked yesterday, and now he took the initiative to report the situation.
