“I’m just a woman…” Mrs. He choked up, “That’s enough, I won’t say anymore.”
Seeing his mother's sadness, Jiang Mingting blamed himself and said, "Mother, it's my fault for being incompetent. I will definitely work hard to be a support for you and my sister."
Lin frowned; these words were directed at Jiang Su.
Sure enough, the next second, Mrs. He burst into tears.
The old lady also looked sad, "Aheng is gone, but I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"
“Your elder brother is the current prime minister, and Ming Ting is of the Jiang family bloodline. How can we ignore him?”
The old lady looked at Jiang Su and said, "Eldest son, Mingting will be fourteen after the New Year. Although he has worked hard at school all these years, he is not academically inclined and will not be able to carry on his father's legacy."
“But this child is easy to discipline, unlike Ah Lin who is difficult to manage. Why not send him to the Valiant Cavalry Camp for some training as well?”

Jiang Su's words were not exactly a refusal, but to Madam He and the old lady, it was something he could have accomplished with just a word!
The old lady's face turned cold. "Mingyun, the plum blossoms in the back are blooming beautifully. Take your aunt and your two older sisters to see them. Your grandmother and uncle can have a chat."
Jiang Mingyun was prepared. "Yes."
Lin's expression was already quite unpleasant. By sending him away, she was just trying to use their mother-son relationship to pressure Jiang Su again!
Jiang Su knew she was unhappy, so he personally draped a cloak over her shoulders. "It would be good to trouble you, Madam, to listen to the steward's report and see if Mother needs anything for the New Year."
Knowing the gravity of the situation and coming from a prestigious family, Lin would not show her displeasure in public, no matter how unhappy she was. "Alright."
