Chapter 72 Peony (4)
"My mother hasn't asked me to pay my respects, so it's okay to be late." Jiang Ruan smiled.
"Mrs. I am not in the mood to ask the girl to pay my respects now. I am too busy." Lian Qiao brought the hot water and served Jiang Ruan Jing's face while saying, "Mei Qingyuan is so upset."
Jiang Ruan took the handkerchief: "How about now?"
"The second young master was chopped up with a little finger in his right hand." Lian Qiao said, "When he came back, he was so bloody and scared." After a pause, she said, "Now it's spreading everywhere, saying that the second young master went to Baihua Tower to spend a lot of money, but his pockets were empty. Our Jiang Mansion could not afford so much money for a while, and only gave him five thousand taels. The people in Baihua Tower spared the second young master's life and only chopped up the second young master's little finger."
After Jiang Ruan cleansed her face, she returned the handkerchief to Lian Qiao: "What else?"
"Miss is so amazing," Lian Qiao said: "The old lady didn't know how she knew about this, and she was furious and banned her wife and the second girl. She was so angry that she fell ill. Now the doctor just finished seeing the second master and wanted to take the old lady's pulse."
"The third sister is doing such a quick move." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Can this spread in Beijing?"
"That's natural." Luzhu came in from outside and heard Jiang Ruan's words, and then continued: "Now everyone knows the story of the Second Young Master spending a lot of money on the beauty in Baihualou last night. He was chopped up with a finger. Everyone said that the Jiang family was actually very poor." Speaking of the last sentence, she went to see Jiang Ruan's expression a little embarrassedly. But seeing that Jiang Ruan did not take her words to heart at all, but asked something else: "How is my father now?"
"The master is so angry. If the second young master hadn't lost consciousness now, he would have rushed up and beat him. It seemed that he had encountered something amazing."
Jiang Ruan lowered her head and took a sip of the tea handed over by Bai Zhi. The face of Jiang's mansion was completely gone after Jiang Chao's fuss last night. For a person like Jiang Quan who values reputation, it was a huge blow. After this incident, the Censor's memorials must be written into him, which will also be an obstacle to his career.
Of course, the most important thing is to have a conflict with the Li family in the capital. After spending a lot of money last night, since Jiang Chao won the championship, he would inevitably punish Li Yang. Li Yang is a narrow-minded person, so how could he give up so easily?
Let's go on like this. Jiang Ruan looked out the window. Jiang Chao occupied the title of the legitimate son of the Jiang family for so many years. The world has almost forgotten that there is Jiang Xinzhi in the Jiang family. This debt was asked to be collected on behalf of Jiang Xinzhi. Jiang Chao, is this painful? It's only one step away from heaven to hell, but it's just the beginning.
In the study, Xia Yan looked at Jiang Quan in panic: "Master, you can't lock Chao'er up, why don't you want him to go to the Imperial College?"
"Rebellious son!" Jiang Quan was furious: "Look at what the outside world is talking about now. When I go to Baihualou to study, I spent a lot of money. My Jiang Mansion has raised him for so many years in vain! I failed the imperial examination and only know how to drink all day long. You raise a good son!"
"I know the master is angry and hateful," Xia Yan knelt down: "But Chao'er was young and ignorant. When he was young, he was ignorant. Who did not make any mistakes? Chao'er is also my son who was born ten months pregnant. When he was a child, Chao'er was called a concubine. Master, have you forgotten? Chao'er did everything he did just to win glory for the Jiang family. After failing this time, he felt extremely uncomfortable, so he made a big mistake. Now he has been punished, right? Chao'er has lost one finger, please beg him to be pitiful."
Jiang Quan looked at Xia Yan kneeling on the ground and took a deep breath. This was his beloved woman, but she had to wait for several years before she became his wife. When Jiang Chao was born, he was a concubine's son, and no matter how much he compensated him, it would be useless.
Xia Yan said again: "Master, do you want your only son?"
Jiang Quan's heart thumped heavily. Jiang Xinzhi had a life and death as early as five years ago, and he could only assume that he did not have this son. Xia Yan said it right, Jiang Chao is now his only son. He sat down at the desk and said in a depressed tone: "I am doing good for Chao'er. Last night, he had a grudge with the young master in Prime Minister Li's mansion. If he did not avoid the limelight, Li Yang would not spare him easily."
Xia Yan was stunned: "Prime Minister Li, who is Li Yang? How could Chao'er make a grudge with them?"
Jiang Quan sighed and told Xia Yan about the whole story. There was another thing he didn't tell Xia Yan that Li Dong was the person around the Eighth Prince. Now he wanted to please the Eighth Prince, but he provoked Li Dong for nothing. If Li Dong interfered with it, the Eighth Prince's tree would not tolerate him in the future. Besides, Li Dong was quite powerful in the court, so it was not a good thing to say.
Xia Yan listened to Jiang Quan's words but pondered: "Master, do you say that, don't you want to get into evil with the Li family?"
"It's a great thing to climb up to the Li family and the Jiang family," Jiang Quan shook his head: "I originally wanted to find an opportunity to get online, but I didn't expect Chao'er to be like this now, but instead made a grudge."
Xia Yan was silent for a while, and a thought emerged in her heart. She said, "Master, what is the most secure relationship?"
Jiang Quan looked at her. Xia Yan said, "What if he could marry the Li family?"
"Li'er acts too flamboyantly, Dan'er is too young." Jiang Quan frowned: "Don't think about it all."
Xia Yan shook his head: "Li'er and Dan'er are concubines after all, and their identities do not match, so they cannot be the right wife."
"Do you want Su'er?" Jiang Quan frowned: "Where is the Li family? Things happening from father, son and wife to each other. Even if I want to please the Li family, I will not send Su'er into such a fire pit."
"What are you talking about by the master?" Xia Yan walked a few steps to Jiang Quan, leaned against him, and gently pressed his shoulders with his jade hands: "Su'er is also my flesh and blood, how could I miss her so much? I mean Ruan'er." She looked at Jiang Quan's stunned look and continued: "Ruan'er is calm and stable. Although I am also worried, isn't the Li family still a young son? That young son is very smart. If he looks at Ruan'er and his identity matches, wouldn't he have a relationship? In this way, let's apologize again, and I believe that Li Dong will not be embarrassed anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Quan suddenly realized: "I have forgotten Ang Lee. You said it right, and Ang Lee's future is boundless. If Ruan'er marrys him, the Jiang family will have some help. However," he hesitated and said: "You don't consider Su'er such a good marriage?"
"Ruan'er's life is hard," Xia Yan said gently: "After I have to worry about her, but Ruan'er is a child without a mother. They are all daughters of the Jiang family. Could I deliberately harm her? Besides, I want to stay Su'er for a few more years. If you don't have to hurry up, should you choose the marriage?"
Jiang Quan looked at the smile on Xia Yan's face, and his expression finally calmed down, and he hugged her in his arms: "I know you are a generalist. It is my blessing to marry you in this life. Don't worry, I will definitely find a great marriage for Su'er, and I will never make her wronged in this life."
