Mrs. Jiang rubbed her brows. Her position as the eldest princess could not be shaken, so she could only aggrieved Wen Wanru.
At this time, the maid suddenly came to report: "Princess Chen is here."
"What Princess Chen?" He asked in confusion.
The maid immediately explained: "Half an hour ago, the emperor issued a decree to confer the title of Princess Chen on the third princess."
Mr. He suddenly became happy, but Mrs. Jiang felt something was wrong and asked: "The third prince has also been granted a title?"
The maid shook her head: "Only Princess Chen was awarded the title. The emperor said that it was to reward Princess Chen for saving the little emperor's grandson, so he was awarded the award alone."
Mrs. He was the first to not believe this. The smile on her face disappeared without a trace. Without waiting for any further questions, she saw Jiang Yunxu, dressed in golden clothes and wearing court clothes, walking towards her, holding the maid's hand.
This outfit is too flamboyant and luxurious, and coupled with Jiang Yunxu's smile, it looks like she is just showing off.
Mrs. Jiang squinted her eyes, slowly stood up and turned to Jiang Yunxu, who was about to bow: "Princess Chen."
I wanted to wait for him to shout, but Jiang Yunxu stood there and accepted Mrs. Jiang's bow.
When Mrs. Jiang saw this, her breathing became tight. She had no choice but to continue to bend down and bow again. After completing the whole etiquette, Jiang Yunxu waved her hand: "Grandma, please get up quickly and sit down."
She said this as if Mrs. Jiang was willing to pay homage. She was obviously the one who came wearing imperial robes, which showed her status and prevented everyone from not paying homage.
He and others also had to stand up and salute.
Naturally, Jiang Yunxu didn't scream in the middle, but waited until he sat down before waving his hands: "You don't have to be polite, just sit down."
The faces of He and others changed slightly, and they glanced at Mr. Jiang on the side: "The elder is saluting the junior, and the junior can just bear it without fear of shortening his life."
Mr. Jiang Er also looked at Jiang Yunxu with a reproachful look and did not know what to do.
"What are you talking about, aunt? This concubine now represents the face of the royal family. Shouldn't you salute me?" Jiang Yunxu asked in return.
He hummed and did not refute.
"Sister Xu...Princess Chen." Mrs. Jiang promptly changed her words and asked patiently: "What exactly happened on the ship that day? I heard that you also entered the palace today. How should this matter be resolved in the end?
"
Jiang Yunxu pretended to be distressed and said in a solemn tone: "My mistakes are all my father's fault, but it cannot be the fault of the eldest princess. Now my father should find a way to make up for it. Shili Hongzhuang, I have devoted everything I have to marrying the eldest princess."
.”
"What if I don't want to marry?" Wen Wanru felt a lot of disagreement in her heart. She didn't want to be a concubine.
Especially if you have to live under the princess, you will never see an end in your life.
Jiang Yunxu squinted at Wen Wanru and said angrily: "How come the second lady is still thinking about her own interests at this time and does not care about her father's life at all? It is an indisputable fact that her father and the eldest princess are the same. How can the eldest princess be wanted?"
Do you hang yourself for fame?"
"Mrs. Wen, you are too selfish." Mrs. Jiang felt sorry for her son and would not be willing to sacrifice her son.
Especially since this son had gone through so much trouble just to find him.
Be as gentle as talking and shutting up.
"Today the Queen Mother came to the palace for questioning. Although she was angry, the Queen Mother still felt sorry for her daughter. Now it depends on how the Prime Minister's Office will arrange it."
Jiang Yunxu wished that Princess Zhaohe would marry in tomorrow, which would completely make up for the second wife's disadvantage.
She didn't believe that the eldest princess would show humility to Mr. He.
"This thing is a bit strange. It happened that the eldest princess got on the wrong ship, and the second brother was drunk and unconscious. As long as there was a guard maid or a boy on the ship, this matter would not have happened.
"
He had long suspected that Jiang Yunxu was behind it: "And the location was not chosen by the Prime Minister's Office."
Jiang Yunxu's face sank: "If the eldest aunt hadn't provoked me in the shop and slandered my mother, how could I have argued with you on the street and compensated you tens of thousands of taels of silver in vain? How could my father have gone there?
The Three Princes' Mansion approached me to negotiate peace. Could it be that I had planned this matter in advance?"
Mrs. Jiang, who was drinking tea, immediately put down the teacup in her hand when she heard this and glanced sideways at Mr. He: "What kind of dispute, what kind of compensation?"
He concealed this matter and ordered the maid not to gossip, because Mrs. Jiang usually did not go out and was not curious about the outside world.
I thought it would be over once I covered it up, but Jiang Yunxu, a bitch, reminded me again.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had to explain: "Mom, it's just some misunderstanding..."
"Grandma, this is not a misunderstanding. I was choosing rouge and gouache in the shop that day, but I was stopped by my eldest aunt and the second lady. The second lady publicly accused my mother of having an affair. It would be a shame to die. I asked him angrily, but who knew that my mother was having an affair?
Not only did my aunt not stop me, but I fanned the flames and destroyed the Ninth Prince’s shop and paid tens of thousands of taels in compensation.”
Jiang Yunxu couldn't wait to tell everything that happened that day in detail. Seeing Mrs. Jiang's face getting darker and darker, she felt happy.
He was shocked and angry, and wished she could sew Jiang Yunxu's mouth shut.
"Everyone on the street knows that such a big thing happened, but doesn't grandma know about it?" Jiang Yunxu was surprised.
"Bang!"
The tea cup fell heavily on the table, and Mrs. Jiang said displeasedly with a cold face: "Of course I know, it's just a misunderstanding."
It was obvious that Mrs. Jiang did not intend to continue to dwell on this matter. Her sharp gaze passed over Mr. He, who was so frightened that Mr. He sat on pins and needles.
The atmosphere was a little tense, but Jiang Yunxu seemed to think it was not chaotic enough and asked back: "Grandma, the eldest princess has a distinguished status. If she marries into the prime minister's house, she will have the power of housekeeper in the future and the treatment of the second wife. Please don't feel wronged.
The eldest princess, after all, she is my nominal mother."
This time, Jiang Yunxu called her mother very affectionately.
She looked Wen Wan in front of her and her hair stood on end. She glared at Jiang Yunxu fiercely. She knew that Jiang Yunxu must have been the one who got in the way of the eldest princess and took revenge and deliberately took away her position as the main wife.
Mrs. Jiang originally wanted to tell Jiang Yunxu these words, but now it seems that
It can only add to the confusion and nothing can be asked.
She said: "That's all, the Prime Minister's Mansion won't keep you for dinner. You can go back first."
The smile on Jiang Yunxu's face suddenly faded, and she stood up slowly: "I am here today, and there is one more thing I need to find out. Whether my mother is alive or dead must be explained. Father, this is what you promised me.
Give me an explanation."
Mr. Jiang frowned: "The Jiang family is in chaos, so why would you add to the chaos? Sister Xu, you are too ignorant!"
"It's not just once or twice that Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion has been embarrassed. My mother was a good citizen, and she died inexplicably in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is a big deal!"
Jiang Yunxu looked like she would not give up when she saw no one. She reached out and touched the little phoenix crown on her temples, and looked at Mrs. Jiang with a smile: "Grandma, my mother is also good to you, why do you have no conscience?
, It is useless for you to eat fast and chant Buddha's name every day. If the Bodhisattva knew about it, he would find your incense and dirt dirty!"
After saying this, Mrs. Jiang turned pale and looked at Jiang Yunxu in disbelief.
