Chapter 141 Does the Nine Thousand Year Old Have a Hidden Illness?
On the way back, Yun Zhanpeng seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a very conflicted expression.
Seeing this, Yun Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Father, what do you want to say?"
Yun Zhanpeng opened his mouth, but the words that came out of his mouth changed, "Nine Thousand Year Old Man is so kind."
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly. "Well, he's a man of temperament who loves those he loves and hates those he hates. He clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment."
Yun Zhanpeng's heart was pounding and he had a headache. It was good that the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man was good, but it was too good.
If the two families are not well matched, marrying into a wealthy family may seem glorious, but it is actually difficult to be happy.
If anything happens, he won't be able to support his daughter.
It’s hard to guess what my daughter is thinking. What is she thinking?
"He...why doesn't he have a princess at his age?"
Yun Zheng opened her eyes innocently and said, "I don't know."
Yun Zhanpeng kept muttering to himself, "Is there any hidden illness?"
Jiu Qiansui is paralyzed in a wheelchair. I wonder if this has affected any part of his body.
Yun Zheng's mouth twitched. "Father, you really are... How should I know?"
Yun Zhanpeng laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha, I'm getting old and confused."
He is already worrying too much before anything happens.
"You are not old."
At the Qian Mansion, the silver-haired old lady Qian held her son's hand tightly, her eyes full of love.
"Son, I'm glad you're back."
The Governor of Jiangnan knelt before his mother, his eyes red with tears, "I am unfilial for not being able to serve you all these years."
Old Madam Qian smiled through her tears, "It's enough to have Hui'er by my side fulfilling your filial duty. You should do your duty for the Emperor well and don't let him down."
Qian Wei looked at the beautiful girl beside his mother. She looked very similar to his first wife. She was his eldest daughter and had grown up with his mother.
"yes."
Qian Hui smiled at her father, her eyes full of childishness.
Qian Wei looked away calmly, and Qian Hui pursed her lips slightly, seeming to be very disappointed.
Jiang Shurong, who was standing behind Qian Wei, saw everything and asked with a smile, "Madam, Hui'er is now of marriageable age. What are your plans?"
Madam Qian glanced at her calmly, "What are your plans?"
Jiang Shurong seemed unaware of her mother-in-law's indifference. "Madam, I want to marry Hui'er to the prince of Pingxi Marquis's mansion, Jiang Wenyun."
Qian Hui's face turned pale and she subconsciously tugged at the old lady's clothes. The old lady patted her little hand soothingly.
Qian Wei was stunned for a moment. Marrying his original wife's daughter to his step-wife's family?
"Jiang Wenyun is mediocre in talent and unlearned, and is nowhere near as good as his brother."
I had never thought of marrying my eldest daughter to Jiang Wenzhou. The interests of the two families were already strongly bound together and there was no need to bind them further. Now... there was even less need for that.
Jiang Shurong said with a smile, "Wen Yun doesn't have any ambitions, but peace and safety are a blessing."
"This..." Qian Wei hesitated.
An old voice sounded, "Pingxi Marquis Mansion is not possible."
Jiang Shurong's face froze. "Madam, why?"
Madam Qian looked indifferent. "Marquis Pingxi has a terrible reputation and is so poor that he has to borrow money everywhere. I don't want Hui'er to use her dowry to support her husband's family and suffer for the rest of her life."
She directly revealed Jiang Shurong's thoughts, and Jiang Shurong blushed, "Old Madam, do you look down on my family? My Jiang family is a century-old marquisate..."
Old Madam Qian sneered, "Go ask around and see which daughter of a good family is willing to marry into that kang? You're dreaming of using my granddaughter to fill the hole your family has fallen into."
"Master." Jiang Shurong's eyes turned red with grievance, and she looked pitiful.
Qian Wei felt very distressed, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of the old lady.
"Okay, let's all go down."
Everyone quietly left, leaving only Qian Wei and her son.
Madam Qian said earnestly, "Son, do you know why I refuse to go with you to enjoy the good life in office?"
Qian Wei knows very well that his mother is the real pillar of the Qian family. Without her, there would be no Qian family today.
"I know that by staying in the capital, you can keep in touch with the emperor at any time. Humanity is there. You are doing this all for my future. I am deeply grateful."
Madam Qian patted his arm and said, "It's good that you know. I have already arranged a place for Hui'er."
Qian Wei's heart moved, "What do you think?"
Madam Qian looked calm, but she said something shocking, "I want to send her to the palace."
"She has grown up with me over the years and has some understanding of the palace and the emperor's temperament. I hope I can help relieve the emperor's worries."
She was the granddaughter raised according to the emperor's preferences. From the very beginning, he wanted to send his granddaughter into the palace to accompany the emperor.
"I'm old, and I don't know how much longer I can hold on. I must have wealthy family members in the palace."
Qian Wei was deeply moved by her good intentions. "Mom, I feel guilty for the effort you put into paving the way for me."
Old Madam Qian sighed softly, "You are good in everything except women... That's all, let's not talk about it."
The mother and son had a long talk. Qian Wei returned to the room late at night. Seeing that Jiang Shurong was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but still insisted on waiting for him, his heart softened.
"lady."
Jiang Shurong woke up with a start and hurried forward to serve. "Is mother saying bad things about me in front of you again? Why does she just look down on me?"
She was born into a marquis's family, while the Qian family was born into a peasant family. They were so poor that they could only send their women to the palace to work as wet nurses.
Qian Wei frowned slightly, "She's old, don't bother with her, just respect her and obey her, and consider it as your filial piety to me."
Jiang Shurong lowered her eyes, looking aggrieved, but did not insist on it anymore. Instead, she changed the subject.
"Master, please find a way to punish the Yun family. I want Yun Zheng to be ruined."
Qian Wei said calmly, "Don't worry, I will maximize Yun Zheng's value and then get rid of her."
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Master."
Qian Wei glanced at the sky. What urgent matter was there so late? "Come in."
A servant came in and said, "Master, just now, the palace gave Princess Jinyun a lot of gifts."
Jiang Shurong's expression changed drastically. "Why is the emperor so confused?"
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Qian Wei waved his hand to let the servant go out, then lowered his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty, you are warning me."
Jiang Shurong was startled, "What?"
Qian Wei was thoughtful. "It seems that the emperor values Yun Zheng very much. I never thought that the yellow-haired girl from the past would actually have such ability. She is really good at hiding it."
Jiang Shurong was unwilling to give in. Isn't it just about making money? That's a side job that can't be shown on the stage. Is it worth it for the emperor?
"Then we can't take action?"
Qian Wei's mind raced, "I can't do it myself, but you can embarrass her. It's understandable that an ignorant woman or child would vent her anger on her parents' side."
He thought that he held a special position in the emperor's heart. Over the years, he had helped the emperor to keep a firm control over the financial taxes of Jiangnan, and had done many dirty things for the emperor. Even if he had no merits, he had worked hard.
The emperor won't care about minor incidents.
Jiang Shurong's eyes lit up. "Tomorrow, send someone to the Yun Mansion and summon Madam Yun to see me. I will severely humiliate her. It is only natural that a mother should pay for her daughter's sins."
The next day, the Qian family's servant came to the door arrogantly and bumped into Yun Zheng who was about to go out.
Well, now it’s time to watch some fun.
