Chapter 71 Imperial Edict
"I don't know." Baoxia said.
Jiang Zhaoyue's right foot injury was quite serious, so it was best for her not to get out of bed for the next two days. She sat on the bed and said, "Let her in."
"Yes." Bao Xia went out.
Yinping walked in quickly and bowed.
"No need to be so polite." Jiang Zhaoyue asked, "Why are you here so early?"
Yin Ping replied, "This servant is visiting the Second Mistress on behalf of Madam."
"For?" Jiang Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
Yin Ping replied, "Yes, the Second Mistress fell into the water during the spring outing yesterday. Madam anxiously waited by the Jingshui River, feeling the river breeze all day. She returned to the Duke's Mansion and talked with the Second Master until the early morning. This morning, she started to have a headache and a fever."
"Has the court doctor seen it?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked indifferently.
"I've seen her and she's taken some medicine. The fever has just subsided, but Madam is worried about Second Madam, so she sent me to visit her and bring her some nourishing medicine." Yinping turned around and shouted.
Several maids came in and placed the tray on the mahogany table.
"Thank you for your concern, mother. Unfortunately, my right foot is injured, so it is inconvenient for me to thank you in person. I hope you won't be angry." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Madam knows about it. I wonder how Second Madam is doing now?"
"It's not very good. My forehead is broken and there are injuries on my neck..." Jiang Zhaoyue wanted to tell Yinping about all the broken skin on his body.
Although she saw Jiang Zhaoyue's injury, she spoke so openly about it, completely different from the reserved ladies of aristocratic families. Yin Ping's heart still throbbed. She said, "Then Second Madam, take good care of yourself. I will go and tell Madam."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Let Baoxia send you off."
"Yes." Baoxia saw Yinping and others off.
"Second Madam, Madam sent a lot of supplements." Ever since Jiang Zhaoyue said, "I won't beat or scold you anymore," Xiang Qiao has not been beaten or scolded these days. Last time she was knocked unconscious by Yang Yanchen, Jiang Zhaoyue was particularly concerned about her and usually chatted with her about everything.
So she is bolder now and speaks more naturally than before.
"It wasn't a gift from my wife." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Xiangqiao was surprised.
"It was sent by the Duke." Although no one knew what Pei Jingzhou said when he went to Songqingtang last night, Jiang Zhaoyue had done a lot of good things in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion by accident, but Wang Shi didn't show any expression.
She didn't believe that Pei Jingzhou could make Wang treat her like her own daughter with just a few words.
So Pei Maokun must have wanted a harmonious family, so he ordered Yinping to send supplements in Wang's name to ease the relationship between Wang and her.
well.
This father-in-law is really thoughtful.
Xiang Qiao was surprised: "The Duke's wife——"
"She still doesn't like me." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"What should we do then?"
Jiang Zhaoyue knew that Wang and Pei Siyan looked down on her, so they initially just did some harmless little things to try to control her. Later, they joined forces with Wu and Jiang Zhaoxue to ruin her reputation.
Again and again.
She found evidence of Wu and Jiang Wanxue's crimes, broke Wu's arm - Madam Liu, and made Wu and Jiang Wanxue be severely punished by Jiang Shihong, but she could not catch Wang and Pei Siyan's flaws, so she could only observe and wait secretly.
But she had already formed a grudge with them.
If they behaved well, she could pretend to be friendly with them; but if they did something evil again, she would never let them go once she caught them. She told Xiangqiao frankly, "It just so happens that I hate her too."
Xiang Qiao was startled when she heard this, and quickly looked around, lowering her voice: "Second Madam, she is your mother-in-law."
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "I know."
"If she wants to control you, she has plenty of ways to do it. You'd better—"
"If I try to please her and flatter her, she won't take advantage of me anymore?"
Maybe the Duke's wife would be even more arrogant. Xiangqiao suddenly felt that it was good for Second Madam to get along with her in a lukewarm way. But she couldn't help but worry: "But, Second Madam, she is my mother-in-law after all——"
"Oh, why worry about it? I won't just be the second daughter-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion for my whole life. Maybe the emperor will give me a status because I saved Princess Duojia, or maybe the second master will get a promotion and I will also have a status of imperial decree. Then I won't be much inferior to her, and she will have to respect me."
Xiangqiao was just a maid and didn't understand the nonsense Jiang Zhaoyue was talking about, but she felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.
"Okay, let me wash up, I want to eat, I'm so hungry."
Xiangqiao came back to her senses and hurriedly helped Jiang Zhaoyue to wash and dress.
Jiang Zhaoyue had breakfast in bed and asked Xiangqiao to open all the windows.
The bedroom is bright, and there is a slight spring breeze.
Jiang Zhaoyue leaned comfortably on the pillow and read the storybook.
At this time, a little head popped in: "Second sister-in-law."
Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and saw Pei Heng, her eyebrows curved: "Brother Heng, come quickly."
"Second sister-in-law." Pei Heng walked in carrying a small bamboo basket.
"What are you carrying?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"Cherries! I picked them myself by climbing the tree!" Jiang Zhaoyue was injured, and Pei Heng said he came to see her today, but he couldn't come empty-handed to visit a patient. He thought that the cherries in the orchard were ripe, so he went to pick them early in the morning.
Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "How did you climb up the tree when you are so fat?"
"Can't you climb a tree just because you're fat?" Pei Heng asked back.
"Well...I'm narrow-minded, I'm narrow-minded. Being fat can also be very flexible."
"Yes, I'm fat now, I can grow as tall as my second brother in the future."
"That's right, our brother Heng has naturally become thinner as he grows older."
"Yeah, I'm naturally as good-looking as my second brother."
"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue confirmed.
Pei Heng picked up the small bamboo basket and said, "Second sister-in-law, you can eat the cherries. I have washed them."
"You washed it?" Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised.
Pei Heng nodded heavily: "Yes, I washed them one by one, and they are very clean."
"How come you are so great!" Jiang Zhaoyue started praising.
Pei Heng said happily: "I chose the big one for you and the small one for Auntie, because I said that my second sister-in-law was injured and wanted to eat the big one. Auntie agreed."
"Fifth brother, you are so kind."
Pei Heng was so flattered that he didn't know what to do. He quickly ordered Xiang Qiao to bring a small table and put it on the bed. He also sat down beside the bed and said, "Second sister-in-law, you eat."
Jiang Zhaoyue pinched one and put it in her mouth. It was sour and sweet, just the taste she loved. She praised it again: "It's delicious, Fifth Brother, you really know how to choose cherries."
Pei Heng was so happy that he couldn't hold back his lips and asked, "Second sister-in-law, can I eat with you?"
This child is becoming more and more polite.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Of course, let's eat together."
While the two were eating, Pei Siya, Pei Sijing and Qin You all came with gifts, among which Qin You's gift was the most valuable.
However, the bed could not accommodate so many people, so Jiang Zhaoyue asked Xiangqiao and Baoxia to move her to the east room, and then took Pei Heng and others to eat cherry snacks and other things while talking about yesterday's spring outing.
Nanny Sun suddenly came running in from outside: "Second Madam, the imperial edict has arrived."
Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise: "What does the imperial edict have to do with me?"
"It's an imperial decree for you."
"ah?"
