"Please ask my grandmother to send me and my mother back to Zhuangzi outside the city. From now on, without my grandmother's order, there will be no day to return to the capital."
Jiang Jinxin said seriously, the anger in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, and there was a trace of determination.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the legitimate daughter of the prime minister." The old lady scolded after being stunned for a moment.
"Grandma, if I die, I, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister, will really be a joke, a joke that everyone in the world can see."
Jiang Jinxin lowered her long eyelashes slowly and heavily, hiding the coldness and calmness in her eyes.
She is not angry!
What was there to be angry about? How vicious these people were, she had experienced it in her previous life. She no longer had any affection for these so-called relatives, so where could she be angry?
The prime minister's legitimate daughter is a joke, and Jiang Xuncheng, the so-called left prime minister, is another joke.
And still at this time!
The old lady frowned unconsciously: "How could he die? But this matter is indeed strange. Grandma promises you that she will investigate it carefully."
The mother-in-law is dead, how can we check?
Fortunately, she didn't really want to get the old lady's guarantee. So what if it was really guaranteed? She doesn't believe it!
Seeing that Jiang Jinxin was still silent, the old lady felt unhappy. This granddaughter seemed fine before, but she has become more and more unruly in the past two days. Now she is causing trouble in front of herself and her son because of the Kong family. This is extremely unfilial. But now is not a good time to scold her.
Aunt Gu is indeed a failure.
It should also be given a good beating.
"Even if she can't find out, it's hard for Aunt Gu to evade this matter. She was in charge of everything in the house before, but she managed it like this."
The old lady snorted coldly and continued.
This time Jiang Jinxin slowly raised her eyes, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice became softer, no longer as sharp as before: "Grandma... thank you... grandma, but mother is still sick... what should I do now?"
This is recognition of oneself.
Looking at it this way, he is still filial to himself.
Thinking about it, Aunt Gu, this is really driving people to death. No wonder the second granddaughter, who has always been gentle and obedient, would be like this!
"Let your mother recover well."
The old lady said.
"Grandma...will...will something happen again?" Jiang Jinxin frowned slightly, obviously not believing Aunt Gu. Not to mention that Jiang Jinxin didn't believe it, nor did the old lady.
She had already made up her mind to give Aunt Gu a good beating. Thinking of some of Mrs. Kong's demands just now and looking at her second granddaughter standing in front of her, the old lady had already made up her mind.
"The accidents that happened this time are all because of Aunt Gu's improper management of affairs. Not only you and your mother, but also Linglong's incident is because of her. She has been punished to kneel in the Buddhist hall in the past few days. You are responsible for the affairs in the house. ...Let your eldest sister assist you, you two are not young anymore, and you have to learn what you need to learn."
"When your mother is well, let your mother take charge of the affairs. From now on, your mother will be in charge of the middle office in this house. I have always said that it is not appropriate for an aunt to be in charge of household affairs. I don't understand many things at all. This time, Accidents are all due to this reason. Your mother used to be happy to have her own leisure, but now something will happen."
The old lady snorted coldly.
At this time, Jiang Jinxin sneered in her heart to blame her mother.
"Grandma, are you kneeling in the Buddhist hall again?" Jiang Jinxin raised his eyes and looked at the old lady.
The old lady choked for a moment, and then she remembered that Aunt Gu had knelt in the Buddhist hall, not just once, but in the end it was nothing.
"Go to the Lotus Temple outside the city to rest for a month!" The old lady said as expected.
"Thank you, grandma." Jiang Jinxin responded simply.
The old lady's eyes fell on Jiang Jinxin again, and after examining her, she said: "This time, troubles have happened in our house one after another. Your father has also lost face. The sixth prince has been assassinated one after another. The palace needs to investigate the intentions of our house." superior……"
The old lady paused here: "Although you saved the sixth prince once, you still hurt your eyes. I'm afraid someone from the palace will come..."
Sure enough, it was because of the intention of someone coming from the palace!
"Grandma, father has been working very hard to investigate this matter." Jiang Jinxin took over.
The old lady nodded, her brows tangled with worry: "Good boy, you know this, but the people in the palace may not know it. If the person behind the assassination of the sixth prince is not caught, your father will always bear the responsibility."
"Grandma, on the day we entered the palace, my mother and I also talked about this with Empress Luo Fei. At that time, she also said that my father was very good at what he did, he was capable, he was decent, he was the head of the officials, and he was highly valued by the emperor. ."
Jiang Jin thought.
"Concubine Luo, did you really say that?" The old lady was surprised.
After Mrs. Kong and Jiang Jinxin returned home, troubles occurred one after another, and then Mrs. Kong made trouble. The old lady never had the chance to ask about the matter of entering the palace.
"Empress Luo Fei and my mother had a very good conversation. My mother is a very good embroiderer, and Empress Luo Fei also liked her. Then I talked about the embroidery with my mother, and also mentioned Mrs. Yu Shi." Jiang Jin said thoughtfully It was brought back, forming a closed loop, completing the words that had not been completed before.
In fact, it is not all false. Empress Luo Fei did mention the embroidery at that time. Her mother's embroidery has always been very good.
"Okay, when your mother is well, go to the palace and talk to Concubine Luo about the embroidery." The old lady said repeatedly, very happy, "This time you saved the sixth prince again, don't talk about other things. , Concubine Luo will definitely come with a reward, and you have to go to the palace to express your gratitude."
The situation is unclear at the moment, so let a smart granddaughter go into the palace to see Luo Fei. If you pay a little attention, you may find some traces.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinxin's eyes became more pleasing to the eye.
The palace chamberlain came as expected. It was the chamberlain sent by the queen. What happened in the palace fell on the queen.
The old lady lowered her eyebrows as she listened to the chamberlain's questions and answers to her granddaughter. She looked calm but was actually nervous.
Fortunately, Jiang Jinxin answered calmly this time, and she answered very carefully when talking about what happened in Luo Fei's Palace. In fact, a chamberlain had already asked about it before, but the person at that time was not the Empress's wife. In order to ensure The waiter came over to ask again about the correctness of the matter.
He asked very carefully and paid great attention to many details.
Fortunately, Jiang Jinxin was well prepared and could answer no matter what he asked.
The chamberlain listened quietly to Jiang Jinxin's words, and finally said: "Thank you, Miss Jiang. I have finished asking my questions."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Jiang Jinxin said politely.
The chamberlain smiled and said: "Second Miss Jiang saved the Sixth Prince this time. After the Empress finds out, there will be a gift."
"Thank you, Queen. This was originally her responsibility." The old lady said with a smile.
"Old Madam, you're welcome. The Empress wants to give Miss Jiang a heavy reward. If Miss Jiang hadn't happened to find out, the Sixth Prince would have been in danger."
The chamberlain said with a smile and reiterated that it was the Queen's intention.
Jiang Jinxin was thoughtful, and her long eyelashes trembled twice...
The old lady was overjoyed and thanked her profusely.
Just as the chamberlain sent by the Queen left, Concubine Luo's chamberlain came, and a reward was delivered to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion...
Luo Fei's gift list was very long, and Aunt Gu's hand holding the list trembled with excitement.
Jiang Xun took over the order, and now he brought it to Aunt Gu and asked her to send someone to check and receive it.
"Mr. Prime Minister, why are there... so many?" Aunt Gu looked surprised and greedy in her heart.
"After all, he saved the sixth prince, the only son of Concubine Luo." Jiang Xuncheng also showed a smile on his face. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. When he saw the gift list, he felt a little relieved.
"Prime Minister, this is what Empress Luo Fei gave to our Zuo Xiang Mansion." Aunt Gu looked at the list. Every item was a fine product, and every item made her heart beat.
Of course she wouldn't just watch all these good things fall into Jiang Jinxin's hands.
Jiang Xuncheng frowned and said nothing. Of course he knew what Aunt Gu meant.
"Prime Minister, you have always wanted to be a famous minister and always be honest. Although you are already the Prime Minister, this mansion was also given by the Emperor. Now there are many more servants in the mansion, and it is even more difficult to meet the expenses. It’s easy, sometimes I can’t make enough money. It’s not easy for such a big prime minister’s house, so many people have to eat, and our house doesn’t have much wealth, and Lin’er also needs to find someone to get engaged, so we need these to support the scene.”
Compared with those centuries-old aristocratic families, the Jiang family's family wealth is indeed a little thinner.
Similarly, the population of Jiang Mansion is also simple.
In fact, the Jiang Mansion's shop and village earn a lot of income, but in Jiang Xuncheng's eyes, these are all reserved for his son. In his subconscious, not only everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion belongs to his son, but even Kong's dowry belongs to his son. Yes, Jiang Xuncheng was also unhappy when he thought that his second daughter dared to talk back before.
Originally, he had always liked the eldest daughter born by Aunt Gu and was very indifferent to the younger daughter. Now he felt that Aunt Gu was right.
"Okay, I'll talk to the old lady about this later." Jiang Xuncheng said.
Hearing this, Aunt Gu smiled proudly. Whenever Jiang Xuncheng mentioned it, the old lady would basically agree.
After Jiang Xuncheng left and went to the old lady's place, Aunt Gu couldn't wait to call Jiang Linglong over, and the mother and daughter distributed the gifts on the gift list.
"Mom, why are most of them given to eldest brother! I am also your biological child." Jiang Linglong saw that she had chosen several items for Aunt Gu to keep, and she stamped her foot in dissatisfaction.
"Linglong, it's not that my aunt won't give it to you. These are so good. If you take them away, they will belong to someone else's house. If you give them to your elder brother, even if they are used as betrothal gifts in the future, he will still come back."
Aunt Gu said, as if she saw these things falling into her hands.
"Mom, then I have nothing, right?" Jiang Linglong was unhappy.
"There are a few more. These are all good. They were given by the palace. Can they be good things? Mom specially left them for you." Aunt Gu said.
Mother and daughter happily shared the gift list together. They just waited for Jiang Xuncheng to come back and immediately divided the gifts. However, they did not expect that Jiang Xuncheng would not go well this time...
