"However, Lin Qingwan is quite unexpected for me. It was worth it for me to send her back to the capital."
The young eunuch bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise."
*
The Prime Minister's Residence.
As soon as Jiang Zhenlin entered the room, he asked the housekeeper, "What is Father doing?"
"Reporting to the young master, the Prime Minister and his wife are talking in the study."
With your mother? That's good! Your mother will protect you.
Jiang Zhenlin then asked, "How is Father's mood? Did anything happen at court today that angered him?"
The steward chuckled, "This old servant knows nothing about what's happening at court, but the Prime Minister seems to be in a good mood."
Jiang Zhenlin breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the courtyard to change his clothes, and lingered for a while before heading to the study. As a result, he ran into Lin Qingwan at the door.
It wasn't that he was deliberately thinking about those things, but Lin Qingwan seemed not to see him at all, treating him like he was invisible!
Before Jiang Zhenlin could even recall the Prince Jing's constant praise of her beauty, his face immediately turned cold. He took two steps to catch up with her, "Are you blind? Can't you see me?"
Lin Qingwan closed her eyes briefly, her tone flat, "I saw it."
Jiang Zhenlin felt that something about her seemed different. "Didn't Aunt Rong teach you manners? Don't you know how to greet people?"
Lin Qingwan turned around and gave a curtsy.
Jiang Zhenlin was dumbfounded. What did this mean?!
The servants in the courtyard greeted them respectfully, "Miss Qingwan, young master. The Prime Minister and his wife are still talking, please wait a moment."
Jiang Zhenlin waved his hand to dismiss the servants, then stood next to Lin Qingwan and asked in a low voice, "Have you upset Mother and Sister again? Did you even get Father to order the death of Sister's maid?"
Lin Qingwan had nowhere to hide, so she could only reply, "It wasn't me who asked Father to do anything; it was Chunyu who stirred up trouble and brought death upon herself."
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Zhenlin said, "She deserves to die, but I warn you not to covet Prince Jing. Only my elder sister can marry the prince."
Lin Qingwan felt that Jiang Zhenlin was like a stubborn leech, impossible to reason with.
She didn't answer. Jiang Zhenlin assumed she was self-aware. Looking down at her hand peeking out from her sleeve, he saw that the obvious injuries on the back of her hand were gone. He then asked, "The injuries on your body..."
Who hit you?
Lin Qingwan looked at him quietly, her calm and clear eyes irritating Jiang Zhenlin. "I'm asking you a question! Who beat you up like that?"
"Foster mother, Madam Cheng."
Jiang Zhenlin was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that she was Jiang Yanwan's biological mother. He immediately scoffed, "How could that be?"
Lin Qingwan...
Jiang Zhenlin said firmly, "Can't you just behave yourself! Do you think saying this will make your sister feel guilty?"
Lin Qingwan thought to herself that he had really been bewitched by Jiang Yanwan, and kindly said, "If it's nothing serious, I'll find a good doctor to take a look at you."
Brain, huh...
Jiang Zhenlin didn't understand. "What?"
At this moment, Lin's voice suddenly rose in the room, "With her temperament, who knows how much trouble she'll cause if she marries into another noble family?"
"Although the Hu family is poor, they are a distinguished family of scholars and live in another place, so they will not mistreat her."
Jiang Su said, "Young Master Hu was born with a disability."
