Jiang Xuelin was pulled to the back by Lady Jing'an, while Fu Hanlai was received by Jiang Xuetao, who was on leave from work at the Jing'an Marquis's residence. Jiang Xuelin naturally went to the back to have a private conversation with Lady Jing'an.
For example, have they bullied anyone at Prince Ping's residence these past few days?
And what was the attitude of the Prince Ping's mansion after the rumors of his elopement spread?
Ever since that rumor started, Lady Jing'an has been unable to sleep well, fearing that her daughter would be mistreated by the Prince Ping's mansion. After all, very few families would tolerate their fiancée running away on their wedding day.
Even according to Lady Jing'an's understanding, the heir apparent of Prince Ping also ran away from the wedding that day.
Knowing what Lady Jing'an was worried about, Jiang Xuelin didn't hide anything from her and told her directly about Fu Hanlai's plans and explanations, while also reminding her not to let it slip when she went out in the future.
Fu Hanlai took the blame for this. On the surface, she did not run away from the marriage; it was all because Fu Hanlai acted dishonestly.
Lady Jing'an: "..."
Pointing at Jiang Xuelin, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You came up with this idea?"
"No, it was Fu Han who came on his own. It has nothing to do with me. When Princess Ping asked, he stepped forward on his own."
Jiang Xuelin may not have realized anything yet, only feeling that Fu Hanlai was really loyal in this matter, but Lady Jing'an was completely relieved.
Lady Jing'an Marquis was naturally well aware of whether a man truly cared for a woman.
Brotherhood is utter bullshit!
Even if it's just brotherhood, with this bond, Jiang Xuelin's future won't be bad.
"However, Princess Ping saw through Fu Han's lie and knew that her daughter had also run away from the marriage, but she did not say anything."
First, it was mentioned that Fu Han had done it, and then Jiang Xuelin mentioned the reaction of Princess Ping. The Lady of Jing'an Marquis's heart, which had just been at ease, was raised again.
As a woman, the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Jing'an was very peaceful, with only her. When the old lady was alive, she pitied her husband who was at the border and never made things difficult for her. But she knew all too well how much grievance a difficult mother-in-law could bring. Once the pressure of filial piety was applied, no one could do anything about it.
"She didn't say anything, just told her daughter and Fu Han to live a good life. When they were in the palace, she even helped her daughter confront the troublesome concubine."
Lady Jing'an pondered for a moment, feeling that her daughter's luck seemed quite good. However, when she thought of the imperial concubines in the palace, she couldn't help but think of the second daughter of the Fei family, who would be married to the third prince in a month.
The two younger daughters used to be close friends and would often send each other invitations to go out and enjoy flowers together, and Lady Jing'an would never say anything. But later, it became inappropriate.
It wasn't just related to the Third Prince's Consort; it also involved the Yongchang Marquis's family's scheme against Jiang Xuelin that day. Even though Fei Qing reminded her at the time, the two were no longer suitable to continue their relationship.
“Even if you hadn’t said anything, Mother, I would have done it anyway. My sister Qing’er… When she gets married, I will send her a gift, and after that, I probably won’t accept any more invitations from her, and we won’t have any further contact.” Jiang Xuelin paused for a moment before agreeing.
...And that's not all.
Jiang Xuelin only refrained from holding a grudge because of their past relationship, but that doesn't mean she was unaware of anything. She could no longer have any connection with Fei Qing.
At this moment, Granny Fang, who was standing next to Lady Jing'an, leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Lady Jing'an then looked at Jiang Xuelin with surprise, "You... did you see the box your mother gave you the night before your wedding?"
Jiang Xuelin shook her head. "Didn't you say that our daughter should watch it when no one is around? I've been very busy these past few days and haven't had a chance to watch it."
Lady Jing'an: "..."
Take a deep breath.
She just wanted to know if Princess Ping knew that the two hadn't consummated their marriage yet. Even the experienced nannies around her could tell; there was no reason why Princess Ping wouldn't know, especially since the girl hadn't bled.
Lin'er doesn't know, where is the Crown Prince? What happened to him?
Lady Jing'an quickly recalled that because the Prince of Ping had been in poor health since childhood, the Prince of Ping's residence had always forbidden him from having any contact with women, and she immediately fell silent.
Even with her rich experience and past experience facing foreign invasions, Lady Jing'an was at a loss for what to do.
When do you plan to consummate your marriage with the Crown Prince?
After thinking for a moment, Lady Jing'an gritted her teeth and asked directly.
I'm not going to do anything else. Nobody has told her this before. What if she doesn't understand?
Jiang Xuelin was taken aback, then blushed.
Even if she was usually very outgoing, she was still a young lady, so how could she remain calm when such a thing was mentioned? "Mother, what are you saying! Besides, Fu Hanlai has been sleeping on the floor for the past two days."
"He slept by himself?"
"...I let him sleep there." For some reason, Jiang Xuelin suddenly felt a little guilty at this point, and her voice lacked conviction. "I...my bed, his room, so it's reasonable for me to sleep on the bed and him to sleep on the floor of my Thousand-Crafts Bed, right?"
Lady Jing'an: "..."
As she leaned back, Lady Jing'an felt a sudden darkness engulf her.
What kind of karma did she create to give birth to such a troublesome child? At this moment, she truly regretted it. She shouldn't have raised Jiang Xuelin to have such a personality. What kind of bride kicks her husband to sleep on the floor on their wedding night?
They didn't even sleep in the study, but on the floor!
"Mother! Mother! Are you alright?"
A shocked old woman, Granny Fang, also helped her up and looked at her with concern.
Lady Jing'an waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, then grabbed Jiang Xuelin's hand, glaring at her through gritted teeth, "After we get back today! Immediately! Right now! Get the young master to bed!"
