The next day, before dawn, the Jiang family's carriage stopped in front of the Ji He family's house.
Mr. Jiang was waiting in the car with his wife and daughter.
The weather was cold, and even though she was wearing thick clothes and holding a hot water bottle in her arms, Jiang Meimei was still shivering from the cold.
"Dad, how long will it take until dawn?"
"Just wait!"
"Why did you come so early? It would be better to come after dawn." Jiang Meimei yawned: "I haven't even woken up yet."
"You are such a fool, you even want to sleep." Jiang Ren whispered, "The Wei family may have already arranged spies outside our Jiang family. If we don't set out at night, it may be difficult for us to leave the city."
After all, it would be easy for the Wei family to do anything to the Jiang family in this county.
In fact, Jiang Zemin was right.
At this time, Master Wei was arranging his servants to keep an eye on the Jiang family.
Jiang Meimei's face turned pale for a moment when she heard her mother say this.
If she were really controlled by the Wei family, she would have no way to go up to the sky and no way to enter the earth.
Soon, the sky gradually brightened.
As soon as Shang Ruoyi walked out of the room, Yingxue came up to her.
"Miss, the Jiang family's carriage has been parked at the door for almost two hours."
Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said softly, "Grandmother and mother haven't gotten up yet, let them go to the side hall!"
"놆."
Shang Ruoyi packed up briefly and went to the side hall.
At this time, the Jiang family had arrived.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "The weather is so cold, drink some ginger tea!"
Jiang Meimei took the ginger tea and quickly took a sip.
After drinking the hot ginger tea, I finally felt much better.
"I dare not disturb you so late at night. I feel so sorry to come to your house now, but we are really desperate and have no other choice. Please save our Jiang family and my daughter, Madam Shang."
Shang Ruoyi understood in her heart that the Wei family must have lost face in front of others, and now they are unwilling to cancel the engagement and insist on having Jiang Meimei marry into their family. If the Jiang family is unwilling, the Wei family will definitely not give up.
If the incident the day before had not happened, Jiang Meimei would have had an unhappy marriage and been neglected by the King if she had married into the Wei family. However, due to the Jiang family, they would not do anything too extreme. However, Jiang Meimei had caused Wei Yan to be singled out in front of so many people for loving a prostitute, and the Wei family had lost face. Now, who knows what kind of torture they would have to endure if they married Jiang Meimei.
Because of this, the Jiang family came to find me.
"What does Master Jiang want me to do for you?" She smiled and said, "I'm new here and don't have any roots in this county. I'm afraid I may not be able to help you."
"No, no, no, you can definitely help." Master Jiang looked around and said in a low voice, "Only the Crown Prince's Consort can help my daughter with this matter."
Shang Ruoyi paused while drinking her tea, the Jiang family really had this idea.
She put the teacup down. Although the sound of the teacup hitting the wall was light, it still frightened Mr. Jiang and Ms. Jiang.
Although the woman in front of them was young, she came from a prominent family and married into the Dingwang Palace. If she had not been exiled here by the Dingwang Palace, how could they have the honor of meeting such a person?
Not to mention sitting in one place.
"Master Jiang, I am no longer the Crown Prince's Consort and have been exiled from the Ding Kingdom Palace. If you continue to call me like this, I'm afraid you will be charged with disrespecting the will of the Emperor and treason."
When Mr. Jiang and his family heard this, they were shocked.
Mr. Jiang's neck shrank.
"I, I."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Master Jiang, don't worry. What you said will not spread out here. Just be careful with your words and actions in the future."
He wiped the sweat from his head and sat on the chair, his legs trembling.
Jiang Meimei sat at the very end, her eyes red and tears welling up in them, but she didn't dare let them fall.
"Mr. Jiang, can you help the Wei family today?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang hurriedly said, "That's right, Madam Shang is really good at predicting things!"
"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your praise. Since you are here, please speak frankly. Miss Jiang and I are also strangers." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely not refuse."
Hearing her say this, Master Jiang stood up and bowed: "I am already very grateful to hear Madam Shang's words."
Jiang Xiaoren sat aside, wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and whispered, "The Wei family forced our Jiang family to marry off their daughter. Their son is such a jerk. If we marry him beautifully, won't we suffer?"
Jiang Meimei finally shed tears after hearing this.
Shang Ruoyi pondered for a moment: "Then why did Master Jiang come to see me?"
"The old man wants you to come forward and solve this marriage."
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Master Jiang, I am just the owner of a milk tea shop in the county town. How can I obey the Wei family's wishes? You really think too highly of me."
When Master Jiang heard her say this, he was also stunned for a moment.
Ah, now that the Dingguo Palace no longer exists, he doesn't even know the situation of the He family. It's really inappropriate for him to come here rashly.
His heart sank slightly. Could it be that their Jiang family could only let the Wei family manipulate them?
When they were feeling discouraged, Shang Ruoyi said calmly: "But there is still a way."
What?
Jiang Meimei suddenly raised her head and looked at Shang Ruoyi without blinking.
"What is the solution?"
Shang Ruoyi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I heard that someone in the Wei family won the imperial examination a long time ago, but that was the end of it. They are now hoping that Wei Yan can continue the glory of his ancestors, but it seems that Wei Yan is not as motivated as they thought."
Master Jiang nodded and said, "I didn't expect that you would be wrong one day. Wei Yan is a hopeless case. He spends all day in brothels. He is morally corrupt and a disgrace to society."
"The Wei family is most worried that Wei Yan cannot enter the officialdom." Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "Tianshun has strict requirements for the official selection system. I heard from my family before that people with corrupt morals will never be able to serve as officials in the court." This is indeed what Shangnian said, and Shang Ruoyi sneered at this. If people with corrupt morals cannot serve as officials in the court, then how did they enter the officialdom? He was also appointed prime minister.
When Mr. Jiang heard her say this, his eyes lit up.
"May I ask Madam Shang's relative..."
"Shangnian."
Shangnian? Shang, Lord Shang?
"Master Jiang, don't be surprised. It's all in the past." Shang Ruoyi smiled faintly: "If Wei Yan's behavior gets out, the prestige of the Wei family in the officialdom will probably end here."
Mr. Jiang was shocked, she was worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she could grasp the weak spot of the Wei family so easily.
