Chapter 156 Educating My Sister
"But wife, do you want to talk to your parents about what I'm telling you today? The eldest daughter of the Guo family has been demoted to the ninth rank of Fengyi, and we don't know what will happen to Guo Ziqian in the future. Do you really want to marry the second daughter to him?"
"I know. I'll find time to go home and tell my parents. Don't worry about it."
Jiang Wan frowned, thinking that her parents wouldn't easily break off the engagement. After all, Guo Ziqian was indeed quite good, and he also liked their second son very much.
What was also rare was that the Guo family's situation was similar to his own. Lord Wantong had not abandoned his wife to marry another or take a concubine. All three of the Guo family's children were born to his original wife, and Guo Ziqian was the only male heir.
For a family that is well-matched with her, let alone her parents, she would be reluctant to let Jiang Wan take charge!
However, you still have to go home to ventilate. As for what to do next, your parents will naturally decide.
Li Chengxiu saw that his wife had made up her mind, so he stopped nagging. He lowered his head and kissed her ear before he started discussing things softly again.
"Wife, I guess we won't be able to stay in the capital for much longer."
"What do you mean? Has there been any movement from the Emperor? How many troops is he willing to leave for us?"
The couple had already made up their minds about going to the feudal lords' vassalage. They would have to leave sooner or later anyway, so they had to pack up enough supplies before leaving.
"Li Lao Er has been crying poor in front of the old man for a while now, and I don't know if he has ever gotten anything. Today, the heir of the Eastern Palace has encountered another accident, and the old man's face is very grim.
He also scolded a few of us, saying that Lao Wu should find a way to get married quickly and then go back to his fiefdom after the New Year. You see, he made it so clear. I guess he would kick us out after the New Year.
Humph, if I won’t stay here, I’ll find another place that will! "
Li Chengxiu raised his eyebrows, looking like a cunning villain.
"Everyone's in a bad mood today, and I didn't dare to act like a spoiled brat with the old man. Wait a couple of days, until this matter has calmed down a bit, then I'll go and make a scene in front of him.
Anyway, I have already got the family property. If he doesn't want to leave me soldiers, he can just give me the quota. I can still get people from my own fiefdom.
Don't worry, my dear, I'll take care of everything here, just take care of me!"
"Well, my prince is the most capable, a man of integrity! Of course, I don't have to worry too much. The Prince of Qi is so powerful, what could possibly require the Princess of Qi to worry about? Don't you think so?"
"Hehehe, my wife is right..."
A powerful prince was drunk with a drug and was so dizzy that he didn't know where to go with his mouth wide open.
The next day, Jiang Wan took time off to go back to her parents' home. When she told Jiang Han what had happened, his eyes welled up.
"Sister, I don't want to break off the engagement with him."
Thinking about the time they had spent together, how the other person was so considerate and thoughtful, and how he always held her in his hands, Jiang Han argued in a low voice.
"What does what happens in the East Palace have to do with us outside? His sister was bullied there, so is she not allowed to fight back?
Chang Yuning used to be very unreasonable, but Sister Guo was very gentle and quiet. You know all this, right? If she hadn't been bullied so badly, I believe Sister Guo wouldn't have lost her mind.
Now that she has been punished by the Queen, then, then will the Guo family not be implicated? Sister, I..."
Jiang Wan glared at the rest of Jiang Han's words and swallowed them back into her stomach.
"Jiang Lao Er, if you say that again I'll hit you!"
The poor thing shut its mouth completely.
Mrs. Xu looked at her little daughter with a headache.
"My parents didn't ask you to cancel the engagement, so why are you in such a hurry?"
He patted his eldest daughter's hand soothingly.
"Don't be angry, Wanjie'er. Your sister is still young and there are some things she doesn't understand. Mother will teach her well later."
Jiang Wan took a deep breath before he could talk to his sister properly.
"Jiang Han, I know you've always been sincere and daring to love and hate others. If you think someone is good, you'll always think they're good. But now I'm telling you, there are many people whose kindness won't remain unchanged. You have to know that people's hearts are unpredictable!
You must always consider the overall situation and not just focus on your own likes and dislikes.
In a comfortable environment, I am also happy that you can live the life you like with the person you like. But if you are not comfortable in the future, you must use your brain and learn to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil!
"I know. Sister, I was wrong!"
“No, you don’t necessarily know where you went wrong.”
Jiang Wan raised her finger and pointed at her father, her voice serious.
"Do you still remember? Our family's current status and position, and the fact that you and I can live in luxury, are all earned by our father who risked his life on the battlefield!
The Duke of Lingguo's Mansion is our strength, and our parents are the ones who will never hurt us.
You must remember your sister's words. If someone close to you betrays you one day, or hurts our Jiang family, you must not be sentimental!
"Yes! I will never forget it!"
"good."
Raising his hand to wipe away his sister's tears, Jiang Wan felt a little sorry for her. It was normal for a fourteen-year-old girl, just beginning to understand a little bit about love between men and women, to subconsciously protect her fiancé.
But this is ancient times, an ancient time where every little thing would involve the family. Her sister can be a little naive, but she must not fall in love!
After the eldest daughter had taught the second daughter everything, Jiang Huailiang shook his beard and spoke in a deep voice.
"Big girl, Daddy understands what you mean. It hasn't come to that point yet, so there's no need for us to break off the engagement.
I know Old Guo. He is even more loyal than I am, otherwise he would not agree to send his eldest daughter to the prince as a concubine.
So don't worry, he definitely won't do anything to betray the king. I'll find a chance to talk to him later."
"Well, Dad and Mom, just be aware of this. Mom, please take some time to talk to the second, third, and fourth sons about the interests between families. I've also realized that simply protecting them won't work. We need to let them weather more storms."
"Now you know that just protecting me isn't enough? I don't know who it was that always said I'm here and you don't need to worry. Why are you so anxious now?"
Xu smiled and teased her eldest daughter.
"I've never raised a child before. How would I know the specific process?"
Looking at his somewhat silly sister, Jiang Wan covered his forehead with his hands in embarrassment, smiling a little awkwardly.
"Mom, after the new year, I'll probably go to the fiefdom with Li Chengxiu. From now on, I'll leave it to you to raise the second child. You have more experience than me anyway."
The Jiang family members stopped laughing immediately.
Jiang Han hugged his sister's arm tightly, and his voice was filled with tears again.
"Sister, I can't bear to leave you!"
