After hearing the two men's vicious curses, Jiang Shu looked at them with cold eyes and dealt with them calmly.
"My grandparents really have spirits in the sky, so they kept my father and I safe and sent two jackals who were in vain to care about their brotherhood to prison."
"Now that you know that I will become Princess Jing, you should be in awe and think twice about your words and deeds. Otherwise, even if I don't pursue the matter, King Jing will not let you go."
"Just what you just said, if it reaches King Jing's ears, will be enough for your whole family to go on the road together."
Jiang Shu's pretty face was cold, her voice was cold, and her aura was intimidating. The hearts of Jiang and Li were frightened, and they suddenly felt a bit of panic.
It's true that they wanted to save Jiang Shao and Jiang Shaohua, but they couldn't involve themselves in it, otherwise the gain would outweigh the loss.
The two looked at each other and hesitated.
Jiang Ning took the opportunity and said, "Would you like to leave? If not, I will send someone to the palace."
"No, no, no, let's go, let's go." Jiang and Li ran away looking embarrassed.
Looking at their panicked backs, Jiang Ning felt very relieved and deliberately loudly ordered the concierge: "When they come back from now on, go directly to Prince Jing's Mansion and let Prince Jing arrest them and send them to prison."
Jiang and Li Shi trembled after hearing this and ran faster.
After leaving the gate of Jiang's house, the two walked to the corner of the street and looked at the word "Jiang's House" in the dim dusk. They felt unwilling to do so, but more importantly, they were afraid.
"Are we leaving like this?"
"Otherwise, what else can you do? They have climbed up to King Jing. We can't afford to offend them at all. We can't seriously go on the road together."
If that were the case, there would be no one to collect their bodies after they died, and they would have to be thrown into mass graves to be fed to wild dogs.
"They are so cruel that even their blood-connected relatives will die without mercy."
"Hmph! Just wait and see, they will be punished. Jiang Yun and her father will not let them go even if they are evil."
"I have been kneeling for so long in vain. My knees are all skinned and it hurts like hell."
Mrs. Jiang Li cursed and complained, limping away while holding on to the wall.
In Jiang's house, Jiang Shu and the others returned to the dining table. Jiang's father was still sitting and waiting. He had only finished half of his bowl of rice, but the whole family had lost their appetite to continue eating.
Jiang's father frowned and asked a few questions. Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry, Dad, they don't dare to come again."
Jiang's father didn't ask any more questions, and those words were all he said.
Sighing, Father Jiang said in a deep voice: "You will be going to school in a few days. Take advantage of your free time at home to accompany your mother to prepare the dowry."
"I know, Dad." Jiang Ning agreed.
Jiang's father said to Jiang Shu again: "The royal family has strict rules. Although King Jing is very tolerant to you, we must also know the rules and general principles. From now on, we will leave unnecessary things to the shopkeepers and try to show as little publicity as possible."
"Okay, my daughter has taken note of it." Jiang Shu responded meekly.
The three of them knew that Jiang's father was causing trouble because of the Jiang and Li families, and they thought of Jiang Shao and Jiang Shaohua. They felt uncomfortable and deliberately kept silent, not wanting to worry them.
Speaking of which, Jiang Shao and Jiang Shaohua were sentenced to be executed in autumn, and they didn’t have many days left.
After all, they are brothers from the same mother, whose blood is thicker than water. When Jiang Shao and the two of them are executed, Jiang's father will probably feel uncomfortable for a while.
Fortunately, Jiang Shu's father was emotionally stable due to the happy news that Jiang Shu was about to get married.
In the days that followed, Jiang Shu listened to Jiang's father and stopped going out for anything important. Instead, she embroidered sachets at home to get married.
On July 29, two nuns and three embroiderers came to the palace to tailor Jiang Shu's wedding dress.
If she marries into an ordinary high-class family, the bride will prepare her own wedding clothes. But in the royal palace, wedding clothes are all prepared by the palace clothes bureau.
"The girl has such a good figure. When she wears the wedding dress made of tribute brocade on her wedding day, she will definitely be the best in Beijing."
Mammy and Xiu Niang were measuring Jiang Shu while praising her with smiles on their faces.
Jiang's mother was happy to hear this and gave each of them a bag of silver when she left.
Several people came and left happily carrying heavy bags of silver.
After struggling for a long time, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back and finish the sachet when a servant sent an invitation.
It was Yu Lan who invited her and Sun Yijun to have a small gathering today.
It happened that he had been feeling a little depressed at home recently, so Jiang Shu went back, changed his clothes, and took Tanyu Lengxing to General Pingxi's Mansion.
Sun Yijun arrived earlier than Jiang Shu. When Jiang Shu entered, she was already having tea with Yu Lan.
There were various snacks and fruits on the table. Yu Lan brewed several kinds of tea and invited them to taste them one by one.
The three of them talked loosely and lazily, eating snacks and drinking tea, which was very comfortable.
"We're getting married on October 15th. Why are you so anxious? Yu Yuan and I got engaged before you." Sun Yijun was a little surprised.
After Jiang Shu heard this, his face turned red and he didn't know how to answer.
Yu Lan glanced at Jiang Shu and said with a smile: "It's not that they are anxious, it's my father, the emperor, mother and concubine who are anxious."
Sun Yijun was speechless.
Jiang Shu asked smoothly: "When is the wedding date set for you and Yu Shizi?"
"Next March." Sun Yijun pouted: "I think it's a bit early. I don't want to get married so soon, but no one listens to me."
Jiang Shu and Yu Lan looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
They all knew in their hearts that with Sun Yijun's temperament, if she really disagreed, the wedding date would not be set at all. What she said was just her daughter's shyness.
"You and I are good friends, and A-Zheng is my brother. I have to prepare a good gift for your wedding." When Yu Lan said this, he looked at Jiang Shu with a smile, a cunning light in his beautiful eyes.
Jiang Shu's scalp tightened and he had a bad feeling.
Sun Yijun approached Yu Lan with bright eyes and asked curiously: "What kind of gift?"
Based on her understanding of Yu Lan, this gift was probably not normal.
"Keep it secret."
Finally, Yu Lan added: "Don't worry, I will also give you generous gifts when you get married."
Sun Yijun's heart immediately tightened and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Actually, there is no need to be so polite."
Yu Lan said seriously: "This is not polite, it is polite."
Sun Yijun: "..." This etiquette is really scary, so there is no need for it.
Jiang Shu pursed her lips and smiled. With Sun Yijun by her side, she suddenly no longer felt so anxious.
As the sun set in the west, Shen Changze returned to Jing'an Marquis Mansion under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Since he asked Yu Zheng last time, Shen Changze has been checking Jiang Shu's interactions with people over the years. But after checking again and again, I only found that Yu Lan took special care of Jiang Shu.
Shen Changze guessed that it was Yu Zheng who instructed him, but other than that, Jiang Shu had no contact with Yu Zheng.
Shen Changze sat in the Listening Bamboo Tower, feeling a little defeated and confused.
Could it be that he really did something wrong and Jiang Shu was so disappointed in him that he left in despair?
"Master Marquis, there is a letter from the Second Young Master." Huo Chong presented the letter he had just received.
Shen Changze recovered from his shock, took the letter, tore it open and looked at it.
Shen Changhuai had nothing important to do and only wrote a few words in the letter, all of which were admonitions.
There was one sentence in it that shocked Shen Changze.
A man has ambitions in the world. If his brother wants to make Miss Jiang look higher, he should cheer up and make some great achievements.
With a lump in his throat, Shen Changze squeezed the letter in his hand, stood up, picked up the wine jar on the table, took a swig, walked outside, and slammed the wine jar downstairs.
