Jiang Mengli was embarrassed when she heard this, "Grandma, there's no need for a blind date, I can find one myself."
Blind date is a very awkward thing for her.
What's more, she is so famous in the capital that others might turn around and run away when they hear her name.
After leaving the house, Liu Ma locked the door.
Jiang stood outside, looking at the gate for a long time with reluctance. "We, the two of us, have lived here for eight years. Although the house is old, it still hurts to see it burned down."
Jiang Mengli didn't have much feeling, but she still comforted him, "We still have to look forward. The new house will be more comfortable to live in."
"Oh, by the way, Grandmother, were those servants called away by the Prince of Yu's Mansion? When I went in, I saw it was deserted. Thinking about the divorce today, I guessed that he called them away."
Jiang nodded. "Yes, you have taken care of me, an old woman, for a while now. I should be content. Prince Yu... Prince Yu is a very good person."
When Aunt Liu heard this, she couldn't help but sigh and shake her head. The house was burned down, but they still said that the person was very good.
It was getting late, so Jiang didn't stay any longer. He looked away and left.
When passersby pass by, they will take a look at Jiang's house and sigh.
Jiang Mengli was very curious and asked, "Grandma, what caused the fire? It's not the season to use a stove, and candles are not needed during the day. Why did the dormitory catch fire?"
The air was quiet for a few breaths. Jiang hesitated to speak, not knowing how to make up a lie.
"Uh... yes... because I'm cold." Jiang stammered and gave a perfunctory explanation after a long while, "I'm weak and I want to light a charcoal fire, so..."
"Madam, there's no need to hide this." Aunt Liu interrupted her before she could finish. "Someone started the fire right in front of us, and their attitude was particularly arrogant."
What? !
Jiang Mengli was very surprised that the fire was set by someone.
She paused, her eyes darkening, "Auntie Liu, who put it there?"
Jiang immediately glared at Liu Ma and signaled her not to say anything.
But Aunt Liu acted as if she hadn't seen it and responded directly, "Prince Yu ordered his servants to do it. He hates the Jiang family so much, what can't he do?"
Jiang frowned and scolded, "Auntie Liu, stop talking!"
She had no intention of telling Jiang Mengli about this, for she was afraid that Jiang Mengli would go to Wen Mohan to settle the score.
But the grudges that have happened before are hard to calculate. The Jiang family has been defeated to this point and has no ability to compete with a powerful prince.
Aunt Liu continued, "Madam, even if I don't tell you, the young lady will find out one day. Why hide it? When the general was young, he betrayed his mother for various reasons, and later..."
"Auntie Liu!" Jiang was completely enraged. With a sullen expression, she interrupted him harshly, "You'd better go home. The rented courtyard is small, and I'm in good health now. I don't need any care."
She never wanted to mention these things, fearing that the secrets would get deeper and deeper.
Some secrets are meant to be hidden; once exposed, they benefit no one.
Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she softened her attitude and said, "Don't chase me away, old lady. I already know I was wrong, so I won't say anything."
Jiang Mengli was in shock for a long time. She never thought that Jiang Dingshan and Wen Mohan's biological mother had such a past!
This is too shocking!
Not only was Jiang Dingshan a heartless man, but Liu Qinglian's death was also related to him. No wonder Wen Mohan hated him so much.
Wen Mohan had seen the tragic death of Liu Qinglian in his dream. It was so horrific that anyone who saw it would feel heartbroken.
When Jiang Mengli's thoughts drifted away, Jiang forced a smile and explained, "A-Li, don't listen to Liu Ma's nonsense. Those are all fabricated stories. Don't take them seriously."
"Oh, I didn't take it seriously." Jiang Mengli responded with a sweet smile, "Prince Yu's mother is a noble concubine. If she really had such a relationship with my father, His Majesty would not be interested in her."
Jiang nodded, "Yes, that's right."
We didn't talk about this topic again for the rest of the journey.
When they arrived at the small courtyard, Jiang Mengli thought for a moment and then said, "Lingqiao, boil some water for my grandmother and the others to take a bath. I remembered that we don't have enough bedding, so I need to buy some clothes for my grandmother."
Those things were burned in Jiang's house, leaving nothing behind, and the clothes that Wen Mohan had someone buy for Jiang were also taken away.
Jiang Shi realized that these things were indeed missing, so she didn't stop him. "Okay, then you should be careful, but you can't go alone."
Lingqiao thought about it and immediately ran into the house to call Heyu out.
When Jiang saw such a handsome and well-behaved man, she was surprised. When did there appear to be a man beside Ali?
It's really inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to live together.
Just as she was speculating wildly about the relationship between the two, Lingqiao said to Heyu, "Just follow the young lady to the street. If you encounter danger, you must protect the young lady first."
He Yu heard this and nodded firmly, "Yes, I will definitely protect the master's safety."
After saying that, he followed Jiang Mengli into the darkness, and soon his figure was submerged in the night.
Why……
Jiang retracted her gaze, patted her chest and said, "I was so scared. I thought there was some special relationship between them, but it turns out they were just hired servants."
"Even if you have a crush on someone, you have to get married formally before you can live together. Otherwise, people will criticize you and point fingers at you even when you walk."
Lingqiao heard this, covered her mouth with her hands, lowered her eyes and smiled, "Haha... Old Madam, you're overthinking it. Young Miss knows your limits. The man's name is He Yu, and you redeemed him from the building..."
He suddenly stopped talking here and clapped his hands in frustration.
How can you talk about such a thing?
In the eyes of the world, people in brothels and brothels are not presentable.
Jiang frowned and widened her eyes, "Where did you say he was from?"
"I didn't say anything." Lingqiao turned and walked into the house. "Come in slowly. I'll go boil some hot water for you."
At this time, Jiang Mengli had already arrived on the street.
His eyes darted around, searching for the shop where the quilts were made.
After searching for a while, I finally found it in a relatively remote place, and I could still hear the sound of cotton beating.
"Boss, I want to buy a ready-made quilt."
"I have a quilt here. Do you think it's suitable?" The boss, covered in cotton wool, walked inside and pointed at the quilt. "This quilt cover is new, the fabric is softer, and it's a bit more expensive. It's three taels of silver."
Ordinary people make their own beds, and the fabrics they use are not very good, so the price will be relatively cheap. Now this bed is obviously intended to be sold to wealthy families.
After Jiang Mengli took a look, he found it was worth it and agreed to buy it, "Okay, this is it."
He paid the money to the boss and then told He Yu, "Take this back. I'm afraid my grandmother will need to rest now. I still need to find a clothing store."
Without waiting for He Yu to speak, she strode out of the room and headed towards Prince Yu's Mansion. She had to settle the account of burning the house!
