Chapter 329: Concubine Xian is very suitable to be my mother-in-law
Capital city.
The Empress, whose ears were burning from being nagged, was handling palace affairs with a helpless look on her face, while listening to her sister whining as she squatted at her feet and wiped her tears.
She was used to multitasking anyway, so she didn't really care about the other party's little interference.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Two quarters of an hour passed.
Three quarters of an hour...
After finishing looking through the small pile of account books, the girl was still crying and talking with tears and snot.
"Sister, I really don't like people like Li Jingxiu, but I really like having someone with his mother's personality as my mother-in-law.
Woo woo woo, you have no idea how sincere she was every time she heard about the anger I suffered as a child and then picked up a feather duster to beat her son!
I think she really understands me. I will never meet such a gentle and soft-hearted mother-in-law who likes me again! What should I do, sister? How can I skip Li Laowu and have his mother?
"What kind of lewd words are you saying?"
Jiang Wan rubbed her face with a headache, and once again felt that her sister's way of looking at people was indeed always short-sighted.
The virtuous concubine, gentle and soft-hearted?
Oh, that cunning man's behavior when he was young was so bad that even his mother called him "six six six"! If he didn't have such a good mother, would Li Laowu be able to live comfortably with Li Laosi all the way to adulthood?
By the same token, Li Laowu's biological mother is obviously doing the same as Li Laosi's biological mother did in the beginning, and is about to start snatching her daughter-in-law against her conscience!
"Hurry up and wipe away your tears and snot, then sit down in the chair and talk straight to me. I'm quite busy here and don't have much time to chat with you."
"oh."
Jiang Han obediently wiped his face with a handkerchief, chose a seat closest to his sister and sat down, then said embarrassedly.
"Sister, the virtuous Concubine has been inviting me out to play lately. She's quite amazing, you know?
Her knowledge is extensive and she can give me meaningful advice no matter what questions I ask.
And she seems to be particularly good at studying things. For example, the sleeve arrow I made when I was a child, she just gave me some pointers and I could make it have many more functions by making a few changes.
And, the virtuous Concubine Dowager is really very clever and skillful! Look at this hairpin of mine, it's not just a hairpin, look, with just a twist and a press, it becomes a small dagger!
I really admire her. She is my idol, my guiding light, and my life mentor! Or…”
"It's still the owner who dug the pit for you!"
Jiang Wan took the hairpin from his sister's hand, held it in his hand and looked at it, then looked up at her helplessly.
"Haven't you already made up your mind? Then why are you crying in front of me?"
Then the other party quickly looked miserable.
"I like Concubine Xian, not Li Jingxiu! But what Concubine Xian meant was that her exclusive secret technique would only be passed on to her daughter-in-law and not her son.
I'm not stupid, how could I not understand what she meant? She's clearly throwing bait to hook me!
"Your mind is quite clear, isn't it?"
"That's why I'm worried!"
Jiang Han wailed and lay weakly on the armrest.
"My parents have arranged many choices for me, and it is indeed time for me to get married at my age.
But I really haven't been attracted to any of the men. The only candidate for mother-in-law that interests me the most right now is the beautiful, kind-hearted and resourceful Concubine Dowager.
I'm not kidding, Concubine Xian is a perfect fit to be my mother-in-law. I like someone who's well-versed in history and current affairs and can tie up loose ends for me. But she's also really scheming, sis!
Knowing that I wasn't attracted to her son, she went straight to me and tried to seduce me. Ugh, the key is that I really wanted to take the bait..."
"You, look at how useless you are!
Your current situation is much better than mine. I had no choice back then, but you can choose freely now. Of course, I still want to warn you, if you really haven't found someone you love.
Then it is definitely better to choose someone who loves you than someone you love."
"Why?"
"It's human nature."
Jiang Wan looked at his sister and sighed.
"If you like someone, you have to compromise your feelings to consider their feelings. On the other hand, if they like you more, as long as you are more attentive, your life will not be difficult.
The affection between people is mostly built up over time. How can there be so much love at first sight?
If you didn't particularly hate Li Jingxiu, or to put it another way, you could tolerate Concubine Xian's son being your husband for the sake of her good mother-in-law.
This marriage might be a good one, at least for now, Lao Wu has really liked you since you were little."
Jiang Han was silent for a long time and looked up at his sister.
"Sister, if I really marry into Prince Shun's mansion, will anything bad be said about you? Will the royal family or the court be suspicious?"
My sister has grown up after all. Behind her crying and laughing, she has learned to respect the rules and shackles of this world and try not to cause trouble for her family.
"No problem."
Jiang Wan looked at her with a warm gaze, just as it had been for so many years. It was a relief that this child, whom he had raised, would not suffer the same fate as in her previous life.
"Well, thank you, sister!"
Jiang Han stood up and knelt down solemnly to pay his respects to his elder sister.
"You've been my rock for so many years, and you'll always be my rock. I've never been as good as you, but I love you very much, just like you love me.
Sister, thank you for protecting me."
"No thanks, it's my duty."
She was very happy looking at her well-behaved and sensible sister.
"Hurry up and go back and think it over carefully. No matter what you choose, I have the ability to be your backer.
Also, don't be so playful all the time.
You have to do the things I give you with all your heart. When you grow up, you have to stand on your own feet. You can't stay under my wings forever, understand?"
"Understand!"
"Well, go ahead."
"Oh, I'll be leaving first then."
Hongxiu respectfully escorted the second young lady out of the palace, and Jiang Han got into his own carriage and sat down.
"Go to Prince Shun's Mansion!"
"yes!"
The coachman whipped the horses and the attendants followed on horseback.
Most of the roads in the capital were paved with bluestone bricks, providing a smooth, unbumpy ride. Jiang Han leisurely pulled out a small spinning wheel from the hidden compartment of his carriage, examining it with interest as he disassembled it.
They had been walking for less than half an hour when the horse suddenly neighed and the carriage came to a sudden stop, and then there was a loud noise outside.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Han instinctively pulled out her hidden arrow and donned it, but unfortunately, she could only hear the sounds of fighting outside, but no one responded. So she decisively raised her hand to push open the car door, but just as she pushed it open a crack, the person outside slammed it shut again.
"Hold on tight, hold on tight. Go!"
After a gentle and elegant male voice finished speaking, the carriage immediately started running again. Jiang Han, who was thrown back into the carriage without reacting, was stunned for a moment and immediately wailed in his heart.
It's over!
I feel like I've been kidnapped!!
Sister, help!!!
