Chapter 109 Qin Xiaochen
To say she had no resentment at all would be a lie. Her husband, who had always treated her as an equal, and her sweet and lovely daughter had both lost their lives in that tragedy.
But Jiang was a clear-minded person and knew that the tragedy of the Xu family should not be blamed entirely on Xu Ruojin.
It was her father-in-law who stubbornly adhered to his literati integrity and refused to change his mind and break off the engagement with the Qin family, let alone sell his daughter for fame. It can only be said that Xu Ruojin was luckier than her cousin who was successfully snatched into the palace by the tyrant emperor. She had parents who loved her more and a better husband.
Speaking of my good friend...
Jiang looked at her sister-in-law.
"You just said that you and Sister Jin both married into the Jiang family. So, Qin, where is that person?"
Qin Zhenning had fought the tyrant emperor to the death, and even when he was beaten to a pulp, he still gritted his teeth and refused to cancel the engagement. How could he allow Jin Jie'er to marry someone else?
Xu's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, she sent the groom and servants to the front to help, and then she leaned close to Jiang's ear and spoke in a very low voice.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you notice? When Wanjie lowered her eyes, did she look like an old friend?"
boom!
Jiang's eyes were shocked.
"She...? I was wondering why my youngest sister was so beautiful, even more beautiful than her mother in her teens. It turns out she's just as I thought!"
Xu's Peony and Qin's Jade Tree, it would be unacceptable if their children were not breathtakingly beautiful.
"Well, a lot of things happened here back then, and I can't explain them all to you in detail. Anyway, my sister and Jiang Huailiang are just a nominal relationship, and you just need to know this, sister-in-law."
"Don't worry, this matter has come from you and I, and will never be known to anyone else!"
Xu knew her eldest sister-in-law's character very well, and she was a man who kept her promises. She smiled and explained a few words.
"It's not that serious. I've already informed Qin Zhenning about this.
You also know that Wan Jie'er has been married to the Fourth Prince, and she will inevitably have to deal with various powerful families in the future.
At that time, I thought that the Jiang family was poor and the Xu family had no one left. If I didn't rely on Qin Zhenning to help take care of the child, I was afraid that the child would suffer in the future.
I didn't say anything about the child, but my sister is not destined to be with someone with the surname Qin. It's better for the child to be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family than to be a daughter of the Qin family with an unclear name. Don't you think so, sister-in-law?"
"You've thought it through."
Jiang nodded in agreement.
Here, the aunt and sister-in-law were talking in secret, while over there, Jiang Wan, holding an umbrella, strolled with her group to the carriage of the family in front.
"Wang Bao, go over and ask if they need any help?"
"yes!"
Wang Bao, Ma Fei and other guards strode forward, negotiated with the leading nanny, rolled up their sleeves and joined the team pushing the cart.
With the help of these young and strong men, the wheel stuck in the pit was slowly lifted. After finally getting the car out, an inspection revealed that the wheel was broken and needed repairing. It would take an estimated quarter of an hour.
Jiang Wan nodded and was about to take people back to his car to wait when he saw a young man about his own age push the door of the carriage and get out.
The other party opened an oil-paper umbrella and came over, stepping on the water.
"My name is Qin Xiaochen. Thank you for your help, Miss Jiang."
The edge of the umbrella moved slightly, and raindrops fell to the earth.
A pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, with a handsome and elegant aristocratic young man, appeared in front of Jiang Wan.
"Qin?"
"Yes, I am a descendant of the Longxi Qin family."
Qin Xiaochen introduced himself quite proudly, then stared into Jiang Wan's eyes and added with a smile.
"The current Minister of Personnel, Lord Qin, is my uncle."
Oh, so he's the nephew of that wealthy Mr. Qin? Jiang Wan suddenly realized.
No wonder he attracts so much attention. Look at his low-key, luxurious and sophisticated outfit, no one would believe that he has no money.
It must be said that in ancient times there was no technology or hard work, so the naturally handsome men and beautiful women were all original.
Well, each has its own flavor.
This person has the air of a rich kid from a wealthy family.
"Young Master Qin, there's no need to thank me. Your carriage is stuck on the road. If I don't help you get it out, I won't be able to get through, right?"
Jiang Wan didn't dwell on why the other party recognized her. She wasn't bragging blindly. Given her current status as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and the future consort of the Fourth Prince, there were probably relatively few children from the aristocratic families in the capital who didn't recognize her face.
"Although this is true, since I have received your help, I should naturally express my gratitude."
Qin Xiaochen smiled very beautifully. He paused for two breaths and then talked to the other party with a smile about their ancestral friendship.
"I guess I'm older than you, so if you don't mind, you can call me brother. I wonder if you've heard the elders mention that my Qin family and your maternal family, the Xu family, have a long history. So our two families can be considered old friends."
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed.
What does this guy mean by suddenly bringing this up?
Although my parents didn't explain it in detail, but seeing how Lord Qin was so sentimental and generous in giving gifts and people, I guessed that he must have had a good relationship with my mother in the past.
It's fate, otherwise...
"Young Master Qin, my family has just moved to the capital from the countryside, and there are many things I'm still confused about. I'll go back and ask the elders in my family about it. If I really owe you the title of "brother," I'll definitely make it up someday."
Qin Xiaochen laughed again. This cousin who was destined to be with him was really interesting. She was as shrewd and thoughtful as his third uncle.
"Miss Jiang is right. It was I who was rude. I'm really sorry. I hope Miss Jiang will forgive me."
"Mr. Qin, you are too kind. I am short-sighted and didn't know the connections of my ancestors. I will definitely make up for it later."
Jiang Wan exchanged a few dry greetings with the other party and pointed at the other party's carriage.
"Your car looks like it's almost repaired. I guess it'll be able to travel normally soon. So let's say goodbye now."
"Well, thank you again, Miss Jiang, for your help."
"You're welcome."
The two men pretended to say goodbye to each other, and did not say any polite words to thank each other's elders. They just turned around and went to their own carriages.
As soon as Qin Xiaochen turned his face away, those gentle and polite smiles quickly faded away, and only the pride and indifference in his eyes were clearly visible.
Jiang Wan had a serious look on his face, but he was actually complaining non-stop in his heart.
As expected, I am not cut out for foie gras. As a down-to-earth and experienced commoner, it is better for me to deal with a fool like Li Laosi. If that doesn't work, I can also talk to that black-hearted cousin of the Xu family.
Only with this kind of noble man who is always reserved and polite, she really has no desire to chat.
I'm a local dog and I won't make a fool of myself.
Can high-end social apps like these, which pretend to follow the rules and require you to thank me and I to bow down to them, be permanently uninstalled from the screen of your consciousness?
It's so annoying!
