The Jiang family has gained too many benefits from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion over the years and has already regarded the Wu'an Marquis Mansion as their own property.
Jiang Shi's face turned cold. He was always gentle and polite, but his sudden cold expression gave people a feeling of cold oppression that was intimidating without even being angry.
"Jiang Huicen, Miss Yu is the future mistress of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. You are just a guest. How dare you speak to her like that?"
Jiang Huicen looked at Jiang Shi in shock. She was frightened by his cold eyes and even forgot to speak.
She had never seen Jiang Shi look so terrifying, as if he was being stared at by a lone wolf in the dark, which made her hair stand on end.
Why does Jiang Shi have such a scary look?
The boy who had always been "cowardly and incompetent" actually dared to openly speak coldly to them for a girl. Jiang Qi and others' faces changed slightly, and they looked at them in surprise and suspicion.
Just as Qin was about to act like an elder, Jiang Qin stopped her and shook her head, then turned to Jiang Shi and Yu Tanqi and said gently, "Huicen has been spoiled and has a bad temper. I apologize to you on her behalf.
Jiang Shi, for the sake of her being your sister, don't pay attention to her nonsense. She only speaks like that because she thinks of you as her own brother. After all, you two grew up together, so don't let this alienate you.
Jiang Shi was not as easy to talk to as before. This young man, who had always been generous and almost selfless, now looked at the Jiang family with a cold face for the sake of his fiancée.
"She is my cousin, but I have more than one cousin. Miss Yu is my only fiancée. I know which is more important. Jiang Huicen actually doesn't like Miss Yu. It's better for our two families to have less contact in the future to avoid disputes and make everyone unhappy."
Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the boy in front of him who suddenly became tough.
He watched Jiang Shi grow up, perhaps because he grew up under the care of his grandmother Jiang until he was eleven years old. Judging from his appearance, Jiang Shi was an elegant and noble young man. Whether he spoke or did things, he made people feel like spring breeze.
But all that glitters is not what lies within. Jiang Shi left the Imperial College at the age of thirteen and only passed the examination to become a scholar. The outstanding young men of his age had already passed the examination to become juren and took part in this imperial examination, but he stayed in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion all day long and seldom went out. Many people laughed at him and said he was a "girl" who liked to embroider at home.
Jiang Shi was weak and had no opinion of his own. When Grandmother Jiang was alive, he listened to her. After Grandmother Jiang passed away, he listened to Butler Ying and Nanny Gao, whom she left behind.
Butler Ying and Nanny Gao managed the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion tightly, and Jiang Qi and Jiang Chu's people were unable to get in.
They were extremely angry but helpless. Compared to their own family members, Jiang Shi, who had no opinion of his own, actually trusted the two servants left by Grandmother Jiang more.
When Grandmother Jiang was alive, they couldn't live in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Unexpectedly, even after Grandmother Jiang passed away, they still couldn't live in.
No matter how nice he was to Jiang Shi, no matter how much he coaxed and persuaded him, he just refused to let their family move in. It was true that he was born by his mother but not raised by her.
Now he dares to speak to them like this for an outsider.
Jiang Qin finally attributed Jiang Shi's sudden tough change to Yu Tanqi. After all, like father, like son. Jiang Chu also couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about his wife.
Jiang Qin has been a loving uncle for seventeen years, so naturally he cannot fall out with Jiang Shi at this critical moment.
He was a seasoned official who could get along with everyone. When facing a 17-year-old boy, he also used his external acting skills, with a smile on his face and sincere words.
"Jiang Shi, don't be angry. I will ask your aunt to go back and teach your cousin the rules. Don't hurt the harmony of our family."
Jiang Qi's family watched coldly from the sidelines, even feeling a bit gloating.
They all coveted the title and property of Marquis Wu'an and formed a temporary alliance, but if one of them fell, the remaining one would have no competitors, which would be a welcome development.
Although Jiang Qi and the others were also surprised by Jiang Shi's sudden tough attitude, they did not take it to heart.
When the fiancée is present, any man would want to show off, and they don't mind giving Jiang Shi this face.
Jiang Qi's eldest son, Jiang Yongcun, looked at Yu Tanqi, licked his lips, and a hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Shi's fiancée from Chen County is so pretty that she is even prettier than Princess Yun, the most beautiful woman in the capital.
She was just a little thinner, and her waist seemed like it would break if pinched lightly.
Jiang Yongcun rubbed his somewhat fat hands excitedly and said, "Yes, Jiang Shi, you are a man, don't be angry with Hui Cen, a little girl. We are all family."
He looked at Yu Tanqi, and her direct gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
"Miss Yu, since we will all be a family in the future, we should still visit each other more often. You just arrived in the capital, so you haven't had a good time out in the streets yet, right? Jiang Shi is a reserved person, so he definitely won't take you out.
It just so happens that a friend of mine invites me to go out for a trip tomorrow. How about I take you along? I'll introduce you to some of the noble ladies of the capital and help you get familiar with the city as quickly as possible."
Yu Tanqi shook his head and declined without a second thought: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiang, but I'm weak and need to rest. The doctor said I shouldn't go out for a while to avoid catching a cold and coughing."
Jiang Yongcun asked with concern: "Did the doctor say when we can go out? Don't you feel bored staying in Wu'an Marquis Mansion all day?"
Yu Tanqi pursed her lips, looked at Jiang Shi, and said softly, "It won't be boring. The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is also very interesting."
Jiang Shi's icy eyes melted instantly like the spring breeze when he saw Yu Tanqi looking at him.
The two of them looked at each other with deep affection, forcing everyone around them to become mere narration.
Jiang Yongcun's eyes became more and more excited.
Xie Jing watched this scene coldly, and felt his eyelids twitching constantly. He was so annoyed that he simply closed his eyes.
Xie Jing didn't take Jiang Shi's relative seriously, but because of Yu Tanqi, he became even more dissatisfied with Jiang Shi.
When he was at the Xie family, Jiang Shi was very good at pleasing his grandmother, but he couldn't handle the relationship with his own relatives well, allowing them to get away with it.
Xie Jing couldn't bear to look at the petty behavior of the Jiang family.
He even had some doubts. Did Jiang Shi really have the same surname as them?
Why is Jiang Shisheng so good-looking, but the people in the Jiang family are all more shifty than each other?
Especially this Jiang Yongcun.
Xie Jing opened his eyes and gave a cold look to Jiang Yongcun who had been staring at Yu Tanqi.
Bai Chang is only a few years older than Jiang Shi. It's bad enough that he's not as pretty as Jiang Shi, but he actually has the audacity to stare at Sister Tan Qi. He really deserves to be punished.
Xie Jing was in a bad mood. The emotion he was holding in made his face look even colder and gloomier, and his whole body exuded a chill, which made the girls from the Jiang family who were secretly watching him feel both scared and excited.
Miss Yu’s cousin is really handsome.
Although he is not as good-looking as Jiang Shi, I heard that he is the eldest son of the Xie family in Chenjun. He came to Beijing to take part in the Spring Examination and will definitely be able to enter the Palace Examination.
The teenage girls' hearts were pounding as they shyly glanced at Xie Jing.
