Yan Mingzhu shook her head, "Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry."
After seeing that the senator's wife was a little relieved, Yan Mingzhu told the maid next to her: "This is an anti-fetal medicine, boil it and let my cousin take it."
"Grandma, do you have any letters written by my grandfather during his lifetime?"
The senator's wife immediately nodded and took Yan Mingzhu to her house. "The imperial army confiscated many letters, but I secretly kept a few. They are all letters written home by your grandfather. Zhuzhu, you want these to be made."
What?"
"The Yuan family is now in a precarious situation. Once convicted, there will be no chance of recovery. Therefore, I have reached a cooperation with His Highness King Dingbei. He will fight for three months for the Yuan family. After three months, if the Yuan family can wash away their grievances, they will be able to do so in the future.
It was his help."
Saying that, Yan Mingzhu knelt down towards the senator's wife, "Grandma, my granddaughter made her own decisions, please punish her."
The Yuan's wife immediately supported her and gently stroked her hair, "Good boy, you have done a good job. The Yuan family has been stationed in the southern border and has protected the peace of the Dazhao territory for hundreds of years. They never take sides and are only loyal to the king. However, they are still being criticized.
I'm afraid that it has reached this point.
Under such circumstances, His Highness King Dingbei is still willing to find the bodies of your grandfather and his wife among the piles of bones, bring them back from Yue Mountain thousands of miles away, and send them back to the Marquis Mansion. This shows that he is a gentleman. Grandma believes in you.
With your eyes, you will never see the wrong person."
After getting the letter, Yan Mingzhu pushed the door open and was about to hand it to Feiyu, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.
"What is this? It tastes terrible!"
With a bang, the plate fell to the ground and broke into several parts. The snacks in the plate also rolled around on the ground and became dirty.
The one who was having a bad temper was none other than second cousin Yuan Jinshen's newly married wife Jiang Yingying.
On the day when Jiang Yingying and Yuan Jin got married, they had just paid their respects to heaven and earth. They had not even had time to get married. The front line was eight hundred miles away and the war in southern Xinjiang was urgent.
As the groom's official, Yuan Jinshen had to leave his newlywed wife behind and rush to southern Xinjiang to defend against the enemy.
The senator's wife came out, saw the mess on the ground, scolded her with a low face: "Yingying, what are you making a fuss about? Nowadays, the Marquis Mansion is in a precarious situation, and it is not easy to have a bite to eat. Zhuzhu risked his life to bring these food back.
of.
If you don't want to eat, just go back to your room and lose your temper here. Are you showing this to me, an old woman?"
Jiang Yingying was reprimanded in public and felt extremely aggrieved, "But grandma, these things are really unpalatable. If it were kept normally, even the dogs in the Hou Mansion wouldn't even bother to lick it!"
The senator's wife frowned, "Since you know this is the past, why don't you understand the situation of the Hou Mansion now? There are dozens of people in the house, and it's not easy to fill their stomachs. Yet you are still here complaining about this and that. You really shouldn't come here.
, apologize to Zhuzhu!"
Jiang Yingying's eyes widened in an instant and she said unconvinced: "Why should I apologize to her? I don't believe Yan Mingzhu can't afford money to buy food. Even if she and Pei Zhuoran reconciled, the dowry given to her by the Hou Mansion was
Quite a few, she is still here pretending to be poor, she must have kept all of them for herself!"
At first, the wife of the senator was very angry when she learned that Yan Mingzhu was forced to marry as a substitute, but she had no choice. In order to prevent Yan Mingzhu from being wronged in the Pei family, she prepared a generous dowry and sent it to the Pei family.
Just to tell the Pei family that Yan Mingzhu is the direct granddaughter of their Yuan family, and that some people love and care about her, and to tell the Pei family not to underestimate Yan Mingzhu.
When she heard about the dowry, Yan Mingzhu's eyes moved slightly and she had a plan in mind.
The senator's wife was furious, took a step forward, raised her hand and slapped her, "Shut up!"
Jiang Yingying covered her sore face and looked at the senator's wife in disbelief, "You hit me? My father has been reluctant to lay a finger on me since he was a child, but you hit me for such a married granddaughter!"
Then Jiang Yingying burst into tears, "Why is my life so miserable! On the day of the wedding, my husband didn't even take a step into the bridal chamber before he rushed to the front line due to an urgent war report from 800 miles away.
I waited and waited, but in the end I only waited for the news that my husband had died in the battlefield. From a bride, I became a widow overnight. In the near future, I will also face having my home confiscated and beheaded. Well, why don't you fight now?
Kill me and save me from suffering again in the future!"
Didn't Mrs. Yuan know Jiang Yingying's grievances, so when something happened to the Yuan family, she tried her best to prevent Jiang Yingying from suffering. There was only a small amount of food and clothing left in the house, and she gave priority to Jiang Yingying and Mu Xiyan.
Granddaughter-in-law.
The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Mu Xiyan, is sensible and considerate, and has never been in any pain these days.
But this second grandson's daughter-in-law is the only one who either complains about one thing or another. It can be said that she is completely different from when she first got married.
The senator's wife was so angry at her words that her hands shook. Yan Mingzhu held her arm and asked Chang's mother to support the senator's wife.
Then he took a step forward, bent down to pick up the snacks on the ground, patted the dust on his head, and looked up at Jiang Yingying steadily.
For some reason, when Jiang Yingying met Yan Mingzhu's clear and calm gaze, she couldn't help but feel panicked. She subconsciously took a step back, and her tone of voice was a bit lacking in confidence: "What...are you doing?"
"Second cousin, I need you to clarify something. Last year during the Lantern Festival, you accidentally fell into the water, and your second cousin saved you in a critical moment. It was you who fell in love with your second cousin at first sight. You didn't want to marry me, so you came to ask for your hand in marriage.
Rather than my Yuan family forcing you to come in.
Now that the Yuan family is in trouble, you are so dissatisfied that you have completely forgotten the oath that you made to the Yuan family in life and death. If you want to be a villain who escapes from the battlefield, the gate is right there. You can leave now, okay?
People will stop you!"
Jiang Yingying's face turned blue and white, and everyone looked at her.
If she leaves at this juncture, she will become an ungrateful villain.
Jiang Yingying gritted her teeth, "I...when did I say I wanted to leave the Yuan family..."
Before she finished speaking, Yan Mingzhu interrupted directly: "Since you have never thought about leaving the Yuan family, just stay here peacefully and don't make any more troubles. Now the Yuan family is in turmoil and has too much time to take care of itself. No one has time and energy.
I'll spoil you."
As she spoke, Yan Mingzhu handed the snack in her hand to her, with a calm tone but an unquestionable command: "Eat!"
Jiang Yingying's face turned dark, "This snack is dirty if it falls on the ground, how can I still eat it..."
"The soldiers who fought against the enemy on the border, when they were running out of ammunition and food, even peeled off the bark of trees to eat in order to satisfy their hunger. This piece of snack was more precious to them than delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Not to mention it fell on the ground, even if they were stepped on a few times, they could eat it all without changing their expressions. If you eat, just treat it as if nothing happened today. If you don't eat, Butler Li, you will eat it in the future.
There is no need to prepare it for the second cousin sister-in-law, her body is precious and our Yuan family cannot afford to take care of her!"
