Why should she disagree?
He was completely reluctant to marry her back then. Now that she is back home, how can she live her life based on her expression?
Shen Changze rolled up his sleeves and lost his patience: "I have made up my mind about this matter and will report it to the Holy Emperor when I enter the palace."
"If the Marquis doesn't give me any face, why don't you give me a clean and tidy letter of divorce." Jiang Shu turned his face, his heart as cold as ice.
With two wives in one house, she will definitely become the laughing stock in Beijing.
In recent years, because of her humble background, she was snubbed and ridiculed by noble ladies every time she attended a banquet. Shen Changze's move was tantamount to taking the lead in violating her, and she would have no face to see others in the future.
"Are you threatening me?" Shen Changze's face showed a hint of anger.
"Master Hou, I just want to save some dignity for myself." Jiang Shu looked at the birds in the bamboo forest and suddenly no longer wanted to be trapped in this high-walled courtyard.
She missed home and the world outside.
Before leaving the cabinet, her parents were not strict with her, and she could often go out on the street.
But since she married into the Marquis Mansion, she has to abide by a lot of rules, and she has never been as wanton as before.
"Unreasonable." Seeing how stubborn Jiang Shu was, Shen Changze walked away with a flourish.
The two broke up on bad terms.
"Madam." Chu Yutanyu entered the room with tea and snacks.
When they went upstairs just now, they saw the Marquis leaving with an angry look on his face. Chu Yu was very worried: "When the Marquis comes back with his achievements this time, the Holy Master will definitely reward him greatly. From then on, the Hou Mansion will prosper. Madam and the Marquis are like this." Tit-for-tat confrontation may make life difficult in the future.”
Since ancient times, women have regarded their husbands as their top priority. If they offend their husbands, they will lose their support. It may be difficult in this house.
"Our madam has been bullied so much. Do you still want her to swallow her anger and accept the injustice? Is that how her life will be better?" Tan Yu complained on Jiang Shu's behalf angrily.
Her words reminded Jiang Shu.
"Then let the Marquis understand that life depends on money, not merit and status." Jiang Shu's eyes were firm, and he had a plan in mind.
In Lanyun Courtyard, Shen Changze settled Cheng Jinchu, mother and son, and then entered the palace to meet the saint.
As expected, the emperor greatly appreciated him. Not only did he make him a loyal general, but he also rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and ten boxes of jewelry.
"Ai Qing has worked hard at guarding the border for six years. What else do you want as a reward besides these?" the emperor on the throne asked kindly.
Shen Changze was brave, resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He was a rare general, and he valued him very much.
Hearing the emperor's words, Shen Changze was startled: "I do have something to ask for the grace of the Holy One."
"Oh, what's the matter?" the emperor asked with interest.
Shen Changze truthfully stated the reason.
After hearing this, the emperor caressed the dragon chair and sighed: "General Cheng died for the country. It is pitiable. That's right."
When returning home with the imperial edict, Shen Changze couldn't help but think of Jiang Shu's aggrieved face.
Well, it was true that he couldn't bear to deal with her, so he ordered his servants: "Send half of the gift from the Holy One to Madam at Tingzhu Tower."
When Shen's mother heard the news, she called Shen Changze to speak.
"Mother." Shen Changze looked exhausted.
Mother Shen felt distressed and asked him to sit down. After ordering someone to serve tea, she said, "Mom called you here because she wanted to say something to you."
"Mother, please speak."
"You have already obtained the imperial decree regarding the marriage, so my mother won't say anything more, but you must be comforted by Jiang Shu. These years, the Marquis Mansion has relied on her, and in the future...it will also depend on her, you understand." Shen's mother tongue is thoughtful and thoughtful.
When Jiang Shu married into the Hou Mansion, she was given a dowry of more than 100 shops, all of which were prosperous in Beijing and made a lot of money. The prosperity of the Hou Mansion all depended on her.
"I understand." Shen Changze felt a little ashamed when he thought that a man like himself wanted his wife to use dowry to support the family.
The mother and son said a few more personal words, and then Shen's mother asked Shen Changze to go back and rest.
When passing by Tingzhu Tower, Shen Changze stopped and looked in through the open courtyard door.
"Madam, what should I do with these rewards sent by the Marquis?" Chu Yu looked at several large wooden boxes placed in the courtyard and asked for instructions.
Jiang Shu didn't even bother to look at it, so he ordered in a low voice: "Send it back to Lanyun Courtyard together with the account books and the keys to the warehouse, and tell the Marquis that now that you have married, Mrs. Jin will be in charge of this house from now on."
Didn't Cheng Jinchu call her sister? Then she would naturally respect her sister.
When Shen Changze outside the hospital heard Jiang Shu's words, his hands behind his back tightened again and again. He resisted the urge to go in and returned to Lanyun Court with a gloomy face.
She is just the head of the family, but she still thinks that the prince's family cannot live without her?
"Husband, you are back." Cheng Jinchu changed into a butterfly-playing narcissus dress and led his two children out of the house to greet them.
"Daddy." The two children threw themselves into Shen Changze's arms.
Shen Changze held one in each hand and listened to their excited chatter with a gentle face.
"Dad, this place is so big and beautiful..."
"So how do you like it?"
"I like it." The two children said in unison, extremely happy.
"The Marquis Mansion will be your home from now on. If you want anything, just tell daddy." Shen Changze looked at the two children with adoration in his eyes.
Cheng Jinchu scolded from the side: "We have everything in the house, don't spoil them."
Chu Yu came to deliver something and was deeply hurt when he saw this scene.
Originally she thought what Madam did was inappropriate, but now she only feels worthless for Madam.
After gathering his thoughts, Chu Yu said expressionlessly: "Master Marquis, Madam asked a servant to deliver the account books and warehouse keys."
After repeating Jiang Shu's words to them intact, Chu Yu put down his things and left.
"Sister is angry, let me go and make amends to her." Cheng Jinchu looked at the returned rewards, as well as the account books and keys on the table, feeling uneasy.
No matter what, Jiang Shu married into the Hou Mansion before her, and she couldn't help her.
Shen Changze handed the two children to his mother, and while undressing, he said, "There's no need to bring trouble on yourself. From now on, you just have to live your life and don't provoke her."
"The ledger and keys..." Cheng Jinchu brought him the prepared regular clothes and put them on.
Shen Changze was silent: "Since she sent it, just accept it. If you don't understand anything, ask your mother."
"The housekeeper has worked hard, and I will have to work hard for you in the future." He reached out and took her into his arms.
"Don't worry, husband, I will definitely take care of the family." Cheng Jinchu leaned on his broad chest, full of expectations for life in the Hou Mansion.
This is the glory and honor her father bought for her with his life, and she must hold on to it firmly.
The first dinner after returning home was served in Mrs. Shen's room.
During the dinner, Jiang Shu didn't say anything and just ate quietly.
Mrs. Shen was very curious about her two great-grandsons and wanted to feed them with her own hands.
"Yan Huan, come and have a bowl of milk."
"Yan Yang, eat more. Look how thin you are. My great-grandmother feels sorry for you."
Jiang Shu had no appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after using some casually, and quietly waited for them to finish eating and leave the table.
However, children eat very slowly. She waited for a long time, and her patience was almost worn out.
"Bang-dang--" Naughty Yan Yang knocked over the hot soup and splashed it on Jiang Shu's hand.
