Chapter 184 I wish you a son soon
This time, even Zhao Shuning's mentality collapsed.
What happened? Jiang Jinnian didn't get the job done? That idiot!
She messed up the matter, and she would definitely be the target of Concubine Li's anger.
If Lu Zhiran really married Prince Jin, she would be giving Prince Jin the greatest support, and the Sixth Prince's chances of winning would be reduced by 10%.
Zhao Shuning was thinking about how to calm Concubine Li down, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Yian with an ugly expression, as if he was suppressing something.
Zhao Shuning felt disgusted when he saw him like this.
You've been divorced for eight hundred years. Who are you showing this to?
Chu Yunqing looked at Zhao Shuning eagerly, "Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"
Zhao Shuning felt annoyed. "This is the Emperor's order. What can I do?"
Chu Yunqing cursed, "She is so shameless. Since she has been married, she should stay with her brother. How can she marry again? She really disgraces us women and disgraces my brother. From now on, my brother will be laughed at when he goes out."
Chu Yian's already ugly expression suddenly became even darker.
Zhao Shuning said calmly, "Men can remarry, so why can't women remarry?"
Chu Yunqing was dissatisfied, "Sister-in-law, why are you still speaking for her?"
Zhao Shuning said in a cold tone, "I'm not trying to help anyone. I'm just telling the truth. Now that we've divorced, let's just part ways and live happily. What happens to others is none of your business."
Yes, she really didn't want Lu Zhiran to marry Xiao Yanci, but she also couldn't stand the Chu family's behavior.
Marrying into the Chu family means becoming their slave, forever tied to their backs? This is hilarious.
No matter how dumb Chu Yian was, he could still hear her voice-over. A surge of anger rose in his heart, "Who are you talking about in such a sarcastic way?"
Zhao Shuning's expression remained calm. "Am I being sarcastic? I'm just telling the truth. Aren't you guys being too sensitive?"
Chu Yian became more and more angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. It was stuck in his heart and he felt suffocated.
Jiang was also very unhappy. "Shuning, you are the daughter-in-law of our Chu family. You should be on the side of our Chu family. Don't forget your status. Instead, you start to side with outsiders."
Zhao Shuning was too lazy to waste time talking to them, so he just responded in a neutral tone.
Jiang was unhappy and said, "Don't be so busy with external affairs. Having children is also the most important thing. An'er is still childless. Even if you are a doctor, if you still can't get pregnant, you should prescribe a prescription for yourself and take good care of yourself."
Jiang had wanted to bring up this matter for a long time, but she had been holding back.
After all, the Marquis' Mansion really needs Zhao Shuning to support them in front of the nobles.
But Zhao Shuning's attitude today made her very unhappy, so she acted like a mother-in-law and gave him a scolding.
Having a baby now? Impossible.
The matter of Xiping is still unresolved, and she might be assigned there at any time. If she is pregnant, how can she go to Xiping and deal with the mess?
Zhao Shuning refused directly, "The situation in the Marquis' Mansion is unclear right now. I am now at the best time to serve Concubine Li. It is definitely not the best time to get pregnant and give birth."
When Jiang heard this, she became even more unhappy. "The future of the Marquis's Mansion is something men should consider. Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. You've been out there for too long. Don't let your heart become too big and you completely forget your duties."
Zhao Shuning didn't say anything.
Chu Yian just looked at her coldly, with no intention of speaking to help.
Jiang added, "If you don't give birth, there are many people vying to bear children for An'er."
"Then let someone else give birth."
Her tone was light and she looked nonchalant, and Chu Yian's face darkened even more.
What's her attitude? Does she still remember her identity?
Jiang was so angry with her that she wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Luying, from today on, you will serve in the eldest young master's room. If you are able to do your best and bear a child soon, I will return your indenture and make you my concubine."
Luying already had feelings for Chu Yian, and her eyes lit up with joy when she heard this.
She immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. I will serve the young master wholeheartedly and will give birth to a child for him as soon as possible!"
After saying that, she looked at Chu Yian shyly.
Chu Yian neither accepted nor refused, but just looked at Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said coldly: "Then I wish you a son soon."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving only her back to everyone.
Jiang slammed the table in anger, "An'er, look at her. She's relying on the little achievements she's made outside, and she's becoming more and more outrageous!"
Chu Yian's anger was suppressed a little. Her attitude at least showed that she still cared about him.
But what my mother said was right. She dared to act like this because she was relying on her reputation outside.
In this case, we can't spoil her so much. We should let her know who is the head of the family.
On the other hand, Lu Guanxuan was beaming with joy and looked extremely proud.
He didn't expect that this daughter whom he had never cared about would be the one who brought him the most honor.
There was the county lady and the princess, and the Lu family’s ancestral tombs were filled with smoke.
Every day after court, many colleagues around Lu Guanxuan would come up to greet him and try to get close to him, and he would even walk in a floating manner.
In contrast, Jiang Yongkang looked very miserable.
The scandal that Jiang Jinnian committed in the palace that day had already spread, and his father Jiang Yongkang also felt ashamed. He walked very fast after court every day.
Just at this time, a huge debt of his previous embezzlement was discovered by the new censor Chu Hanqiu, who severely reported him in public.
Emperor Defeng was furious and issued an oral order in court to demote him to the lowest rank, down to the ninth rank Tongpan.
He is truly a petty official, and the key is that he is embarrassing himself. Everyone has seen him make a fool of himself.
Jiang Yongkang was frustrated in his official career and took out his anger on Jiang Jinnian.
"Other people's daughters bring honor to their families, but you? You only bring shame to me! You've ruined my reputation and my career!"
Jiang Jinnian was scolded so much that he kept wiping away tears. "I'm a victim too. It was that little bitch Lu Yingxi who instigated me!"
Jiang Yongkang was even more furious. "You're so stupid as to be fooled by someone who instigated you. If you had any brains, you wouldn't be used as a tool. For the time being, you will be confined to your own yard and reflect on your actions."
The atmosphere in the Jiang family was low, and the servants were flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Lu Yingxi's treatment took a sharp turn for the worse. When Jiang Xingyi came back, Lu Yingxi had a big fight with him.
"Is this how you, the Jiang family, treat me and the baby in my belly? Look at the things you sent me—they're not even worth eating."
Jiang Xingyi said nonchalantly, "It's not certain whether the child in your belly is mine, so what's there to argue about? Instead, you're the unlucky one. As soon as you came into the family, you ruined my sister's reputation, demoted my father's official position, and turned the entire Jiang family upside down. We, the Jiang family, didn't divorce you. We've done the best we can. Just be content."
