Not only was Manmei, everyone else was also frightened. Yu Han reacted quickly and ordered the guards to close the door to prevent others from watching the fun. At this time, there are other people's spies everywhere, and they may think that the Jiang family has been raided.
It's my old nest.
When Jiang Shang heard Chu Yue'er mention the word "sister", his face changed slightly and he frowned very quickly. His movements couldn't be faster. In the eyes of others, he was always expressionless.
Yu Han also frowned when he heard this. Speaking of Chu Yue'er's sister, Chu Xiner, she was only one year younger than Jiang Shang. She had been married as early as when she was twenty-eight years old. If you calculate carefully, it was several years ago.
.
Chu Yue'er lost her father when she was young, and she and her mother and sister lived in the Jiang family and depended on each other for life, which can be said to be very affectionate.
This time she came here so desperately, maybe her sister was really in fear for her life.
Thinking of this, his tone softened, and his face was still cold, but he finally had the intention to talk to Chu Yuer, "What's wrong with Chu Xiner?"
Chu Xiner was his cousin, and they had a relationship with her. Besides, Chu Xiner got married early and did not bring much trouble to Jiang Shang. Instead, she made a lot of sacrifices for the Jiang family. Jiang Shang was very interested in Chu Xiner.
Xin'er's favor is much greater than that of Chu Yue'er who has been pestering him endlessly.
When Chu Xiner got married, she did not go out as a head wife. The Chu family had long since declined and could only live in the Jiang family. Naturally, the daughter of the Chu family did not have a generous dowry and a powerful natal family. Chu Xiner was married to
A concubine from the Wu family in Laizhou.
At that time, Laizhou was dominated by the Deng family. The Jiang family married the young and beautiful Chu Xiner to the Wu family. It was not without purpose. The Wu family was also a wealthy family in Laizhou, but with such a family background, they wanted to marry a daughter of the Jiang family.
, the Jiang family would not agree, not to mention that the only son of the Wu family already had a wife, so how could the Jiang family be willing to marry their daughter to the Wu family to raise a child?
The Deng family will not just watch the Jiang family and the Wu family marry against themselves, which will definitely disrupt the marriage.
Chu Xiner just suits the wishes of both families. She used to say that she was a concubine. The Deng family had nothing to say. She just wanted to take a concubine, and even the people in Laizhou would not be able to stand it. But with Jiang
With this relationship, the Wu family would probably not do anything to Chu Xiner.
This is a very satisfactory result for both the Jiang family and the Wu family.
It's just that the father of the Chu sisters died serving the Jiang family. He was also the right-hand man of Jiang Shang's father. Now the family is left with orphans and widows. However, the Jiang family sent their sister to be a concubine.
The Jiang family, which has always regarded itself as a famous family, is not willing to mention this matter.
Chu Yue'er heard some concern in his words. She wiped away her tears and pulled off her veil. Her face was already covered with tears. She sobbed, "My sister was caused to have a miscarriage by the eldest lady of the Wu family.
Now that he has been sent to the Buddhist hall again, I am afraid that he will not survive."
Jiang Shang did not expect that the Wu family would dare to treat Chu Xiner like this. When Chu Xiner married, she represented not the Chu family but the Jiang family. Doing so would be a slap in the face, unless the Wu family had different intentions.
, I don’t want to continue to cooperate with the Jiang family to deal with the Deng family, otherwise the Wu family’s young master must have a funny head.
It's just that although the Jiang family is a prominent family, it is very inappropriate to directly interfere in other people's household affairs like this, especially when Chu Xiner was married as a concubine.
Selling a concubine if it is not in line with the master's wishes is like selling a maid, and no one can say anything.
In this era, the status of concubines was very low. Even if relatives wanted to come and see the concubines, they had to agree with the wife of the first wife. The concubines’ natal family was not considered relatives.
In this situation, it would be too embarrassing for the Jiang family to ask the Jiang family to stand up for the Wu family's concubine. In the final analysis, the Jiang family is just a relative of Chu Xiner's natal family, not her natal family.
If Jiang Shang met Chu Xiner and asked the young lady of the Wu family to nod, and had to meet in the room where the servants were entertained, it would simply be a disgrace to the Jiang family.
Jiang Shang also saw a bit of anger on his face.
Manmiao didn't have such a high level of martial arts. She only saw Chu Yue'er kneeling down and could not hear clearly what she said. Jiang Shang had an angry expression on his face.
With disdain on his face, Yu Han walked towards Manmiao and explained the whole story clearly in a few words, with a bit of regret in his tone.
"I thought you would gloat about someone else's misfortune." Manmiao knew very well that Yu Han hated Chu Yue'er, but she didn't expect him to say it in a regretful tone.
Yu Han glanced at her and said, "It was Chu Xiner who was in trouble, not Chu Yueer. Chu Xiner is a nice person with a gentle and quiet personality. If she were her younger sister, Jiang Shang wouldn't have so many troubles."
What Manmiao was thinking about was that it turned out that Chu Yue'er's sister was married off as a concubine. In this case, Mrs. Jiang would definitely not let her son marry Chu Yue'er.
Marrying a wife is based on virtue, and keeping concubines is based on sex. In ordinary families, the elder sister is a concubine, and the younger sister's marriage must be discounted. Especially in a family like the Jiang family, marrying Chu Yue'er will not only have a good reputation for being nostalgic.
, there is no benefit at all, Chu Yue'er is really not a mistress of the house, Mrs. Jiang only nodded and agreed to this marriage because she was sick.
Jiang Shang and Chu Yue'er said a few words, and Chu Yue'er stood up and followed Jiang Shang into the courtyard. When she saw Manmiao talking to Yu Han at the door, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Manmei pretended not to see it. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Last time you messed with me, I didn't settle the score with you. If you dare to come again this time, I'm sure you'll have a surprise.
Jiang Shang made arrangements to settle Chu Yue'er down, and came over to find Manmiao with a troubled expression.
Manmiao had already guessed what he was thinking, and was drinking tea with Yu Han in the courtyard, waiting for Jiang Shang to come over.
"Miao'er, I have something to ask you for help." Jiang Shang's tone was filled with a hint of request, thinking that Chu Xiner also contributed to the Jiang family, and the two families were related, so he couldn't just watch her die.
"I don't have any friendship with Mrs. Wu." Manmiao didn't want to help. Chu Xiner's life and death had nothing to do with her. Just because she was Chu Yuer's sister, Manmiao didn't bother to help.
Jiang Shang did not bring any of his female relatives this time. Chu Yue'er is Chu Xiner's younger sister. If she wants to see Chu Xiner, she needs the consent of the Wu family's eldest wife. This kind of humble meeting is definitely not what the Jiang family wants to see.
Then there is only one woman left, Manmiao. It is normal for a woman to go to the backyard where a woman lives. Could it be that Jiang Shang, a grown man, is asked to break into the courtyard of someone else's family?
Jiang Shang already knew that she wouldn't like Chu Yue'er, but he didn't expect that she would refuse so simply.
Manmiao never likes to force herself. She is ready to give herself and Jiang Shang a chance. If they get along with each other for a long time, Jiang Shang is really worthy of her choice, and she will give it a try.
