Chapter 128 Royal Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Jiang Wan frowned slightly, and her expression was so good that the Queen subconsciously began to reflect on whether she had preached too loudly just now.
"There's no other reason. I just don't like him very much lately."
It was impossible to say that the brat was colluding with the third son, blocking anyone who dared to propose marriage to the second son. Not only did he fight with them, but he also spread rumors that the Jiang family would have another prince consort.
If Jiang Wan hadn't watched these two idiots grow up, there would be no reason for him not to suspect that they were secretly plotting to destroy the Jiang family!
It's not like all the men in the world are dead. Is the royal family a trap that's easy to jump into? If she wasn't the eldest daughter and couldn't escape it, if Li Laosi wasn't still sincere to her, you can only imagine if she would have packed up her things and ran away overnight.
Four years had passed since he received the news. Jiang Lao San, who had successfully changed his name to Jiang Yao, was once again beaten by his eldest sister and could not get out of bed.
Jiang Wan wasn't a softhearted person. Even though her brother from her mother's side had been disciplined, she couldn't let her brother from her husband's side go. Although she couldn't bring herself to beat him into submission, it didn't matter. Even a blunt knife could be effective in cutting flesh!
"You, you're really making me worry to death!"
The queen habitually raised her hand to pat her paw, but looking at the tender hand as white as mutton-fat jade, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"You'll have to apologize to Concubine Xian later, okay? I've been quite polite to you all these years, you can't make things so embarrassing.
"Now that you and Old Four have separated and are living apart, it doesn't necessarily mean you won't need Old Five any more. It's good to be kind and leave more options open to others. What's wrong with that?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Don't just say it nicely, remember it in your heart!"
The queen glared at her unhappily.
"Now I don't even dare to invite your mother into the palace to chat, for fear that she will ask me how I raised you to be like this?
"Back then, I patted my chest and made a promise in front of your parents, so that I could successfully bring you into the palace. But now I look back and see that I have raised such a thing?"
Jiang Wan lowered his eyes and smiled wickedly, then raised his eyes again and walked over, patting the queen's shoulders in a flattering manner.
"Mother, my impatience has nothing to do with you. It's mainly because I'm too smart and self-taught."
"You, you make me angry!"
The Queen seemed to be poking her head harshly, but in fact her hand was very gentle, so Jiang Wan smiled and coaxed her.
"Who is mad at you? Everything I said is true, even truer than what my Jiang Xiaosi said!"
"Humph, you're not as likable and obedient as your fourth brother."
"Whatever makes you happy is fine. I'm thick-skinned anyway. Li Chengxiu has already taught me the secrets. As long as I'm not angry, you can't do anything to me. After all, I'm the daughter-in-law of your own son. You wouldn't dare to kill me."
"Bah, I knew that bastard Lao Si couldn't teach you anything good! I'll come after him later! There are so many good people in the world, but you don't want to learn from that bastard Li Lao Si?"
"I heard that Li Laosi is your biological son?"
"If he wasn't my own son, would I have been willing to give you to him? He's a wicked, smoking bastard. Not only does he not learn his lesson, but he also dares to teach you bad things. I won't forgive him!"
Yeah, that's the taste.
It was another perfect day for Li Laosi to be backstabbed by his wife and despised by his own mother.
From this we can see that these four years were not wasted, and the Queen and Jiang Wan's attitudes towards each other have changed a lot.
Perhaps it's because as she gets older, she enjoys having children around her. The Empress now looks more and more like Xu, and it seems she's planning to take the role of a loving mother. Jiang Wan seems to be filling Li Chengxiu's shoes, entertaining the Empress in his colorful clothes.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were as affectionate as mother and daughter, talking and laughing in a friendly manner. The Crown Princess, who came to pay her respects with a big belly, had her eyes slightly flashed.
"What has Wanjie done to make the Queen Mother so happy?"
"The third daughter-in-law is here?"
The queen sat up straight, her cheerful smile returning to the gentle demeanor of an elder. Jiang Wan walked over and bowed politely.
"Meet the Crown Princess."
"I've told you many times before, you and I are sisters, and we'll be sisters-in-law in the future. Sister Wan, you really don't have to be so polite every time. Just call me Sister Ziying as before."
The Crown Princess spoke affectionately, but the smile in her eyes showed that she was very satisfied with the other party's compliance with his duties.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi had previously instructed that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are the sovereigns, and that this subject must be respectful and observe etiquette."
The Queen's mouth twitched. She was pleased with her sister-in-law's behavior, always praising the silly Fourth Prince in public. As a mother-in-law, she felt particularly embarrassed, even though she was satisfied.
With the idiotic look of the fourth brother who wanted to push his wife over his head, there's no way he could have remembered to tell Jiang Wan to be respectful and polite in front of the Crown Princess! If his eyes had truly been wronged, that bastard would have blamed the third brother for it. He's definitely grown some brains in the last two years.
The Crown Princess likes to deal with smart people like Jiang Wan, who know when to stop and when to stop, allowing everyone to maintain the utmost dignity.
"Sister, please get up quickly. Don't make Mother feel bad by your greetings."
"Yes, I am indeed heartbroken. Sister Wan, please stand up quickly."
The Queen glanced at the Crown Princess's belly.
"If you can give me a grandson or granddaughter as beautiful as my sister, the one I will love most will be the baby in your belly."
The Crown Princess stopped smiling and blinked as if she was frustrated.
"Mother, you are partial, so be it, but why do you have to poke me in the heart? I may not be very smart, but I do have self-awareness. Compared to your beloved daughter-in-law, my appearance is far inferior to yours. How can I give you such beautiful grandchildren?"
"You, a good princess, have actually learned to be a chatterbox like Wanjie!"
The queen was amused and laughed again.
"If we're talking about looks alone, you're not bad looking, and the third one has both good looks and brains. Logically speaking, isn't it normal for you two to have a beautiful child?"
Since becoming the Queen, Qiao Yunshu has become more and more free-spirited. She always has a wealth of adjectives to describe her pair of troublesome sons.
"Thank you for your praise, Queen Mother. I will report this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I return. I will tell him to remember to protect his reputation and never lose favor with Queen Mother.
I can't compete with the fourth son's wife just based on my looks, so I can only hope that my husband can do his best and surpass the fourth son in terms of beauty!"
The Crown Princess joined in the fun, smiling and making fun to please her mother-in-law.
