The third update today, extra update for okeeffe~~╭(╯3╰)╮
---------------
Ye Qingning had always had his way with wind and rain. He had never been reprimanded so harshly before. He felt filled with grievances and his eye circles suddenly turned red.
Madam Zheng's heart was filled with anger, but she could only suppress it and said in a deep voice: "Ning'er must not be rude." Then she looked at Jiang apologetically: "Ning'er has been spoiled by me.
If there are any imperfections, please don’t blame my mother-in-law."
Now it is clear that the Jiang family is deliberately looking for trouble. But Ye Qingning is a junior, and it is rude to contradict an elder.
As expected, Mrs. Jiang was unreasonable and snorted: "The Jiang family is from a small family, but it is far worse than the Duke Zheng's family. No wonder Sister Ning looks down on the young ladies of the Jiang family."
Mrs. Zheng's breath was stuck in her throat and she couldn't go up or come down. Not to mention how suffocating she was.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been secretly competing with each other for more than a day or two, but they always speak to each other in a subtle and tactful manner, and there are very few people who talk to each other as coldly as today. Mrs. Jiang is clearly criticizing Ye Qingning, but in fact, she is not targeting Mrs. Zheng.
?
Ye Qingning bit her lip and opened her mouth and said: "Grandma, I was rude just now. I will have someone clean up the guest room later. Please rest assured, grandma, I will take good care of cousin Ying." The last sentence almost came from his mouth.
It was squeezed out from between the teeth.
Only then was Mrs. Jiang satisfied, and she pretended to be a pleasant grandmother again: "Okay, I just said it casually. Don't take it to heart. Now that you are engaged, you will not be able to leave the house. I have arranged it this way.
.I also hope that Sister Ying can be your companion to relieve your boredom."
Ye Qingning had no choice but to hold back his anger and say thanks.
Ye Qinglan experienced Jiang's power for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly feel wary. On weekdays, Jiang was quiet and good-tempered, but it turned out that it was just a disguise. The real Jiang was deep and sophisticated, and could not do anything at all.
Not a good person.
No wonder Mrs. Zheng reacted so quickly yesterday and asked Cui Wan to go back to her parents' house to discuss the choice of concubine in the afternoon. But no matter how fast she acted, it couldn't be done as quickly as Mrs. Jiang who was prepared in advance. No, even people came over. As you can imagine, Jiang
There will be follow-up actions. Now it depends on how Zheng, Cui Wan and others deal with it...
Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Qingning suddenly said in a low voice: "Ten sister, I will ask someone to tidy up an extra room, and you can live together in Huancui Pavilion."
What? Ye Qinglan was startled: "Sixth Sister..."
Ye Qingning's expression was as usual, but there was a bit of pleading in his eyes: "It's more crowded and more lively, why don't you go too!" Jiang's move of forcing Jiang Ying to Huancui Pavilion today made her very uncomfortable. If she was forced to go to Huancui Pavilion every day.
Facing that Jiang Ying alone, she really didn't know if she could endure it as if nothing had happened.
Although Ye Qinglan didn't want to wade into this muddy water, seeing Ye Qingning's rare pitiful look, her heart suddenly softened and she nodded in agreement.
As Ye Qingning once said, she has been involved in a lot of matters related to the long-term relationship, including this one.
Ye Qingning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was approaching noon. Guests from the Jiang family arrived. Jiang clearly loved her grandniece very much and actually welcomed her out in person. As soon as she got up, Mrs. Li immediately followed her. Mrs. Zheng secretly sneered in her heart, with a smile on her face.
But he would never do anything rude, so he simply followed him out.
Ye Qingning stood up reluctantly and moved out slowly.
Ye Qinglan tugged on Ye Qingning's sleeves and asked in a low voice: "What does this Jiang Ying look like?" She had not returned to the capital for a short period of time, and every time guests came to Uncle Changyuan's house, there was always a bustling crowd. She
I haven't paid much attention to Jiang's natal family at all.
Ye Qingning snorted disdainfully: "It's far worse than Zhixia."
These words are really harsh. It's not that Zhixia is not beautiful. In fact, Zhixia is very pretty. But Jiang Ying is a serious official lady after all. Ye Qingning deliberately compared her with a maid, obviously deliberately belittling her.
.
Ye Qinglan held back her laughter and became more and more curious about this Jiang Ying. From the tone of Ms. Jiang and Ms. Li, this Jiang Ying should be somewhat pretty...
A woman of about forty years old came over with a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. The woman was Jiang's nephew-in-law Qian, and needless to say, the young girl was Jiang Ying.
Ye Qinglan looked at Jiang Ying calmly, feeling a little disappointed.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old is at her most beautiful age, and even if she dresses up a little, she won't be too ugly. This Jiang Ying is quite pretty, with fair skin and big eyes that are flexible and charming. She is also well-dressed, so she is not considered a beauty.
Bad. But for some reason, it just makes people uncomfortable to look at.
It may be a preconceived prejudice, or it may be because after seeing beauties like Gu Xiyu, Ye Qingning, and Shen Qiuyu, I have no idea when looking at ordinary beauties. Anyway, Ye Qinglan's first impression of Jiang Ying was not a good one.
Cui Wan said nothing, only looked at Jiang Ying deeply and then looked away.
Ye Qingrou was very familiar with Jiang Ying. She walked over with a smile, took Jiang Ying's hand and exchanged a few words. Jiang Ying responded with a smile and her conversation was quite decent.
When Ms. Jiang met her mother-in-law's family, she was in a much better mood than usual. She smiled and asked Ms. Qian, "Are your parents-in-law and mother-in-law okay?"
Mrs. Qian smiled and responded: "I'm sorry, my aunt is thinking about you. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both in good health. They are always thinking about you!"
Mrs. Jiang was coaxed to smile heartily, and led a group of female family members to sit down in the dining room. All the people sitting there were female family members, and it was a casual family banquet, so there were no separate seats. The elders talked and greeted each other, while the juniors were very natural.
The group was divided into two groups. Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan were chatting and laughing in a low voice, while Ye Qingrou was chatting and laughing with Jiang Ying in a low voice.
After the dishes were served, Mrs. Jiang smiled and warned: "Sister Ying, eat more of whatever you like. Don't be polite."
Jiang Ying smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, aunt."
…
Ye Qinglan almost burst into laughter. Great aunt? This title is so joyful. Adding the word "老" makes it even more vivid.
Ye Qingning gave her a strange look. What are you snickering about?
Ye Qinglan hurriedly suppressed her smile and continued to eat.
In the past, I didn’t think Mrs. Jiang was particularly partial. At most, she was kinder to Ye Qingrou. She, a concubine with three bedrooms, just stayed in the corner. But now with Jiang Ying’s presence, Ye Qinglan finally became deeply aware of Jiang’s
Eccentricity. From beginning to end, as long as there is delicious food, Jiang will definitely give some to Jiang Ying. Even Ye Qingrou does not receive such treatment!
Does Mrs. Jiang really like Jiang Ying so much? I’m afraid that’s not necessarily the case! She clearly did this deliberately to show off to Mrs. Zheng and Cui Wan. She used this move to raise Jiang Ying’s weight. It also hinted that she wanted to put Jiang
Ying Nong's determination to enter the house...
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan began to worry about Cui Wan. With Jiang being in the way, there will be no peace in the future!
Cui Wan obviously thought of this too, a wry smile escaped from the corners of her lips, and she lost her appetite for food. She reluctantly took a few bites and put down her chopsticks.
Mrs. Jiang happened to look over and said with a friendly smile: "Is today's meal not to your liking? Why don't you stop eating after just these few bites?" Compared with the cold and coercive face of the past few days, this attitude
It's so kind that it's almost scary.
Cui Wan tried her best to smile: "I'm full. Thank you grandma for caring."
Jiang's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Sister Ying rarely comes to the house as a guest. If you are free, you can show your kindness as a landlord and take Sister Ying around the house more often."
The implication is so obvious, who here can’t hear it?
Jiang Ying obviously understood the purpose of this trip before she came, and she lowered her head shyly after hearing this.
Cui Wan responded with a stiff smile. The hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and her long nails dug deep marks into her palms. But she did not notice the stinging pain in her palms at all.
Jiang pressed forward step by step, making double entendres in every word, and she was almost out of breath.
Zheng smiled leisurely and said: "Cui has to take care of Yuan Wei's daily life, and she also has to take care of Sister Qiao. I'm afraid she won't have time to spend with Sister Ying. It's better to let Ning'er and the others spend more time with Sister Ying! People of the same age
We have something to say when we are together."
I have never seen someone so eager to be someone's concubine. He came to embarrass Cui Wan in front of her. Do you really think she doesn't exist? Humph!
Jiang's smile did not diminish, but a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
With Zheng stepping in to resist, Cui Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a guest, Mrs. Qian knew that Mrs. Zheng's attitude was not friendly, but she couldn't say anything. Ms. Li had no scruples and said with a smile: "After all, my sister-in-law is more considerate. Sister Ying lives in Huancui Pavilion, so she also wants to
Please take care of me, sister-in-law."
Zheng twitched the corner of her lips: "It's not that I mean to shirk it. It's just that I have a lot of things to do on weekdays, and I have to take care of Ning'er and Sister Lan. I'm afraid I'm powerless. But my siblings, I don't have much to do on weekdays, so I might as well set aside some time.
Take some time to take care of Sister Ying."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on Jiang and Qian's faces were a little stiff. Especially Jiang, who didn't expect Zheng to speak so rudely, and felt angry, annoyed and angry. Instead, she became more determined to let Ye Yuanwei accept Jiang.
Ying's determination to be my concubine.
Putting aside the powerful relationship, even if it is just to cause trouble for the Zheng family, this move is worth it.
The more Zheng didn't want to accept Jiang Ying, she insisted on letting Jiang Ying marry her openly. Although she was a concubine, she was at least a noble concubine. When she gave birth to a son, she could completely squeeze out the cowardly and useless Cui Wan.
The corner is gone. One day, she will completely conquer the long room...
Jiang thought calmly, suppressed all her unhappiness and anger, and said with a smile: "What Zheng said makes sense. Li, please take more care of Sister Ying when you have time."
Ms. Li was startled, then smiled and agreed.
Mrs. Zheng was also smiling, but her heart sank quietly. After so many years of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she was very familiar with Mr. Jiang’s temperament. Ms. Jiang would never give in so easily. Even if she said it nicely, she might still point out her secretly.
What means will he use... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
