Before Liu Yueniang officially recognized her relatives, Jiang Chen was favored by Song Huizong again. No matter how powerful she was in her hands, she was just a lucky minister who had no foundation in the eyes of the noble families.

No matter how polite he is to Jiang Chen on the surface, he looks down on him from a low-class background in his bones, let alone letting Jiang Chen integrate into their aristocratic circle.

But after Liu Yueniang recognized Zhang Shangying as her father and made Jiang Chen become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, they instantly regarded Jiang Chen as a "person" or a person of the same class.

The words also changed from the previous politeness to the sincere friendship.

Jiang Chen was always here, and no matter how smelly he smelled or the loyal and treacherous he accepted all of them humbly, because at this time he had no choice.

Since he wants to marry Zhang Shangying and use Zhang Shangying's connections to do things, he must advance and retreat with these people and safeguard the interests of the circle together.

After all, there is no right or wrong in politics, only interests and enemies!

Jiang Chen had a very deep understanding of this point, and was very versatile, which made the men's seat chat and laugh happily!

...

But the atmosphere at the women's seat is not very pleasant!

Facing the wife of the court who is a second-rank or third-rank official, and some female relatives from noble families, Pan Dasao who accompanied Zhang Yueniang (Liu Yueniang changed her surname to Zhang after recognizing her relatives), she didn't even dare to breathe, so she didn't mention talking to Liu Yueniang.

Zhang Yueniang was afraid of embarrassing Jiang Chen, so she was cautious everywhere, and she always had a signature smile on her pretty face.

But even so, her stepmother Sun Jingshu and her legitimate sisters Zhang Yuexin, Zhang Yue'e, and Zhang Yueyao didn't plan to let Zhang Yueniang go like this.

In order to turn Jiang Chen into friends, Zhang Shangying pulled him into his own camp and personally admitted the marriage between Zhang Yueniang and Jiang Chen, which was almost equivalent to slapping Sun Jingshu in the face.

Sun Jingshu did not dare to refute or disobey Zhang Shangying, so she transferred all her resentment and anger to Zhang Yueniang.

When Xiang asked Zhang Yueniang to salute her, Sun Jingshu directly raised her face and said, "Forget it, I can't take this gift!"

While speaking, she looked at Zhang Yueniang coldly and said, "Mrs. Jiang, today I have something unknown to everyone, I want to ask for advice.

Since you and Jiang Chen had a long engagement, why didn’t you tell me early without my knowledge?”

"That's it! Aren't you sincerely trying to ruin your mother's reputation?"

"Or maybe you were determined to marry into a wealthy family and chose to forget about this? After your cousin passed away, you remembered it again?"

Zhang Yue'e, Zhang Yueyao and Zhang Yuexin stared at Zhang Yueniang with bad eyes.

In this society with strict ethics, Sun Jingshu has a bad reputation, but it will have a significant impact on them, so they are all very hostile to Zhang Yueniang and Jiang Chen who are "living".

As for Jiang Chen's job of helping Wang Wenhan and Zhang Hongwen to do a good job, they instinctively ignored it. Not only did they not be grateful, but they also felt that the positions Jiang Chen arranged for Wang Wenhan and Zhang Hongwen were too low-level.

"I never knew about this before. It was only after the official entered the capital that my uncle told me! I guess my father wanted to take the exam to teach the official talents and then tell me about it!"

Although Zhang Yueniang knew that her stepmother and several sisters had malice in her words, she was not angry at all, nor felt panic.

Because Jiang Chen had already conducted a special test for her yesterday, taking into account all the difficulties she might face.

When she answered the question, she subconsciously thought of Jiang Chen's handsome face, and the corners of her lips unconsciously hooked.

"kindness?"

Sun Jingshu was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Yueniang with surprise on her face.

She didn't expect that Zhang Yueniang was so eloquent. She not only pushed the blame completely with just one sentence, but also took her out by the way, helping to restore her reputation.

This made her feel a little confused about how to continue to make things difficult for Zhang Yueniang.

Seeing this, Zhang Shangying's wife Xiang smiled and smoothed out, "Yue Niang's statement is just like my master. At that time, her fourth uncle really wanted to take the exam to teach Chen Ge'er first and then plan a formal marriage date.

It’s a pity...ah! I guess her fourth uncle would be happy to see Yue Niang marry such a good husband in the spirit of heaven!”

"That's sure! My brother-in-law is a hero who chose God to send books. What about the immortal disciple? How could the fourth uncle be unhappy?"

Xiang's daughter-in-law and eldest son Zhang Jun's wife Wu Xiulan smiled and greeted, "Sit down, let's drink and chat. Today's plum wine is a fine product produced by the Royal Chamber of Commerce, which is guaranteed to make your ladies enjoy the food!"

"Is that true? That old woman, I will enjoy the honor of my in-laws and give it a first taste!"

Wu Xiulan's mother, Wang, knew very well the importance of Jiang Chen to their family circle, and also knew the weight of Jiang Chen's speech in front of Song Huizong. After intentionally making friends, she took Zhang Yueniang with Xiang and took the initiative to sit down.

Although the wives from each family had been dating Sun Jingshu for a long time and had a good relationship, they did not have the idea of ​​offending Xiang and Zhang Yueniang for her, and sat down with a joke.

This made Sun Jingshu very embarrassed. She remembered that the officials were gone and her son was not good at it. Looking at Zhang Yueniang, who was full of stars, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Zhang Yue'e was even more jealous. Thinking of Jiang Chen's abduct of Wang Wenhan to the Jiaofangsi and play all night, she couldn't help but say sarcastically: "This illegitimate child is a illegitimate child, and there is no rule at all!"

"That's right? My mother was angry because of the misunderstanding before, so she told you not to be polite. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you don't even have a title. The Zhang family has really raised you for so many years!"

Zhang Yuexin looked at Zhang Yueniang with a glimpse of her contempt.

"What my sister and sister said is that Yue Niang is missing a gift!"

Liu Yueniang stood up with a smile, bowed respectfully to Sun Jingshu and said, "Yueniang greets my aunt. Yueniang remembers all the kindness of her aunt's raising and teaching back then, and will definitely repay you in the future!"

Well--

What do you mean?

Should we repay or revenge?

Sun Jingshu's expression was uncomfortable. She didn't remember how good she was to Zhang Yueniang and her daughter.

In a guilty state, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Now your mother is a fifth brother and sister. If you want to repay her, do you have to repay her!"

"Yes! Yue Niang wrote it down!"

Zhang Yueniang looked up at Sun Jingshu in a very happy mood, and then she was about to sit back.

"Wait, Yue Niang, you only salute your mother, but have you forgotten us? We were also good to you, the concubine."

"That's it! When someone who didn't know went to the Zhang Mansion, he thought you were the legitimate daughter and we were the concubine daughters!"

While Zhang Yuexin and Zhang Yueyao were talking, they set off and waited for Liu Yueniang to come forward to salute.

They took the word "legal and illegitimate" very seriously and deliberately asked Zhang Yueniang to salute them in public. What they wanted was to let Zhang Yueniang recognize her identity as a concubine in public so that she could step on her feet.
