"My mother and I have been dining at the same table with my father for these years, and my father has never even mentioned these rules, so why do you say anything?" Jiang Yan still didn't distinguish between the big and small kings, and still dared to yell at him.
Jiang Guogong's face turned unpleasant for a moment.
Jiang Yu still maintained a half-smiling look, but he retorted slowly.
"I'm telling the truth. You are a concubine and Aunt Ning is a concubine. You cannot eat at the same table as the master."
"You..." Jiang Yan was furious, but he couldn't refute. He and his mother were indeed concubines and concubines now.
Ning Wei on the side was also so angry that her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails were almost digging into her skin, but she tried her best to suppress the expression on her face to avoid losing her composure.
Her eyes turned red instantly, she looked at Jiang Guogong and cried:
"Husband, I have been running the Duke's mansion for these years, and I can be considered conscientious. Internally, I have taken care of the house, managed the servants, and externally entertained banquets. I have been considerate and considerate. I have no merit, but I have worked hard. However, as soon as the prince came back, he spoke so rudely. , that would be too sarcastic.”
He is really good at playing the role of pity. His acting skills are as good as he says.
Most people would be moved when they hear what she says, but who is Lord Jiang Guo?
He has led troops to fight for so many years, and has already developed a very strong heart. Moreover, his concept of the concubine's house is very rigid.
He just drank the soup lightly and said:
"Ayu is not wrong at first. You have indeed worked hard in running the Duke's mansion these years, but you are out socializing and traveling with great pomp and dignity. In the past, when Ayu was not here, I would go there every day. Military training in the military camp. I leave early and come back late. I won’t care about this with you when I come back. But now that Ayu has mentioned it, you just follow the rules. The meals can be prepared and sent to my yard. From now on, you have three meals a day. , you can just deal with it in your own yard, and Jiang Yan, you are not young anymore, and you still eat at the same table with your mother every day, which is outrageous. From now on, your three meals a day will be prepared and sent to you. Eat in your own yard.”
Duke Jiang Guo favored Jiang Yu unconditionally, and since Jiang Yu mentioned it like this, it was impossible for him not to give him face.
The faces of Ning Wei, mother and son, turned blue and red, unable to stop themselves from being manipulated by Jiang Guogong.
Yes, he is the only woman available in his backyard, but he uses it without any burden, euphemistically speaking, it gives him dignity. But your son didn't say it, and you didn't mention it. Now that he has said it, you will come. Support and slap yourself in the face infinitely?
"Husband..."
She wanted to say something else, but Jiang Guogong was so upset that he put down his chopsticks, so that her words were stuck in her throat.
"Set up your identity. I didn't say it before because I was too lazy to say it. Ayu is the heir to the Duke's mansion. In this house, he is the only one besides me. If he says it, just do it. Also, your husband is the main wife. You can only call me your legitimate wife, you should call me the Duke of the State, how many times have I said this?"
Duke Jiang Guo was also angry. He knew that Ning Wei had been taking care of the family these years, so he regarded her as a tool.
However, since his son doesn't mind, he should follow him up the steps.
Another knife was inserted straight into Ning Wei's chest. She looked at Jiang Guogong, and for a moment she was only shocked and surprised.
She didn't know that for so many years, she had been so dispensable in his heart.
To be honest, Jiang Guogong also hated her. Back then, he relied on his mother to beg for nothing to marry him, and even relied on tricks to give birth to Jiang Yan. He couldn't swallow this feeling in his heart.
If it weren't for this, Xinrou wouldn't have fallen seriously ill in a fit of anger, her body and bones would have become so weak, and she would have died of illness later on.
Because of this, he felt deeply indebted to Xinrou and Jiang Yu, so he indulged Jiang Yu in this way.
Jiang Yan also looked at his father in confusion. In the past, he would not eat the meals prepared by his mother at most. If he was really hungry, he would sit down and eat a few bites before leaving. Now, with Jiang Yu Qingpiao's few words, he is so indulgent...
Being a son is very chilling. We are all sons, but he is the only one who is so dispensable?
Yes, he admitted that he was not as good as Jiang Yu in many places, but he was still his biological child after all.
"If you have nothing to do, please step aside. I will talk to the Crown Prince alone." Jiang Guogong said and asked Ning Wei and Jiang Yan to leave.
Even though Ning Wei was reluctant, she had no choice but to leave with her son.
"Yes, my lord, my concubine has withdrawn."
Ning Wei's tone was very trembling, with a crying tone, and her nose was extremely sour.
When she turned around, she was filled with only hatred.
It doesn't matter, Jiang Yu won't be able to stay in this house for long before he leaves. When he leaves, she doesn't have the final say here, so she has to bear with it.
After she left, Jiang Yu also finished a bowl of soup. The old man had given him face just now, and he was in a good mood now. By the way, he mentioned the matter with Su Wan.
"I have a girl I like." Jiang Yu said bluntly.
Duke Jiang Guo, who was eating vegetables, paused when he heard this, then looked at his son and frowned.
A few days ago, he happened to be worried about Jiang Yu's marriage. Now Jiang Yu is already in his twenties. Jiang Yan, who is two years younger than him, has two concubines by his side. He is the only one who has not even had a bed-warming girl by his side for so many years. No, he was not in a hurry.
So he set his sights on Zhong Li'er, the legitimate daughter of the Shunde Marquis Mansion.
He is seventeen years old and has both talent and appearance. The important point is that the Shunde Marquis Mansion does not have much influence or power, and he is married to the Duke of Guo Mansion. He is a well-matched family, and there will be no objections from the superiors.
But now, he said he had a girl he liked when he came up, which caught him off guard. He had to find out who it was first. It didn't matter if she had a lower status, as long as she was suitable.
"Who is it? Tell me."
"Su Wan, the younger sister of the Minister of Civil Affairs, the current Princess of Xuangle County!" Jiang Yu introduced her grandly, with a hint of pride in her tone.
After hearing this, Duke Jiang Guo sorted it out carefully. Princess Xuanle was also famous in Kyoto. The things she did and the brothers in her family were not ordinary people.
Jiang Yu had been friends with Su Chen in the military camp before, so it was normal for him to know Princess Xuan Le.
However, he has never met Princess Xuanle, so he will not comment on her as a person for the time being.
But considering the situation of the two families, it is not suitable. The Su family is now too popular, with one family and two ministers, one civilized and one military. They have just been married to the Grand Scholar's Mansion. Their influence in the future will not be unreasonable. If they marry again, They are afraid that the higher-ups will have objections to their marriage to Jiang Guogong.
"It's not appropriate. I hold military power, and the Su family is now at its peak and has too much influence. If you two get married, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the Holy Emperor."
Jiang Guogong did not hide it, but directly explained the inappropriate points instead of forcefully saying that he disagreed.
"I know, I have considered all this, so I didn't ask for a reward at the beginning. I was just waiting here. I wanted to ask for a marriage in person. The Holy Spirit directly promised me that if I want anything, he will satisfy me."
