"You said you want to keep all these gifts?" The old lady looked up at Jiang Xuncheng and asked, "Is this what Aunt Gu meant?"
"Mom, it was originally given to our family as a reward, and I didn't say it was definitely for Jin Xin." Jiang Xuncheng felt embarrassed.
"I haven't said it, but is it because of Jin Xin?" the old lady said displeasedly, "I have to go to the palace to thank you someday. Should Jin Xin go, or should Aunt Gu go?"
"Of course Jinxin will go." Jiang Xuncheng said without hesitation.
"Do you think your little daughter will still listen to you in everything after these two incidents?" the old lady reminded.
"In a daughter's family, it is a serious crime to be unfilial to the father." Jiang Xuncheng frowned.
"Yes, unfilial piety is a serious crime, but what if she plans to die and die? Anyway, Aunt Gu doesn't intend to save the lives of her mother and daughter." The old lady said.
Jiang Xuncheng's face turned red: "Mother... Aunt Gu... wouldn't do such a thing."
"I don't care if you do such a thing, I just ask you, you have driven people to a dead end, and you still ask them whether they are filial or not?" The old lady asked coldly, "Xun Cheng, I have seen you doting on Aunt Gu before. There is a point, do you really want to risk all your future for a concubine?"
"Kong's mother and daughter are nothing, but now that Jin Xin has saved the Sixth Prince, do you really understand the meaning of this? Are you really not blinded by Aunt Gu?"
After repeated questioning, Jiang Xuncheng lowered his head and looked very unhappy.
"I know that you dote on Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu also strives for success and gave birth to a son and a daughter for you. Brother Han is also a success. He will definitely become the number one scholar in the future. You and your son will be a good story in the future, but no matter How about, you have to remember that Brother Han is the son of the Kong family and has nothing to do with a mean aunt."
"Mother, as long as you give Aunt Gu a status, her status will not be low." Jiang Xuncheng defended.
"How to mention your identity?" the old lady asked.
"Find a suitable family and accept her as your adopted daughter. Her status will naturally be noble, and then..." Looking at the old lady's increasingly stiff face, Jiang Xuncheng couldn't continue.
The old lady slammed the table hard: "Confused, you are so confused! Did you really let this woman named Gu be confused and identify yourself? Do you think she is an adopted daughter? Do you think everyone is a Kong family? The Kong family is her own She has been raised by Mrs. Kong since she was a child. Even if she is an adopted daughter, her identity is recognized by everyone. Just like Brother Han, if you concoct such an identity for Aunt Gu now, it will only make people laugh. Moreover, what you up to?"
"The Empress has sent her chamberlain over, and Jin Xin also has a reward. Now instead of protecting this legitimate daughter, you are going to give status to an aunt? Do you really want Jin Xin to break up with you? By then she will be If you are unfilial and unjust, you will die a good death. What about you? Don’t you want a future for yourself? If you really do this, it will definitely fall on you to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. Mrs. Kong has already caused trouble when she came to the door today. "
Jiang Xuncheng was stunned. He was busy with things outside the house, and he really didn't know that there were so many things happening in the house.
After being frightened, his face darkened.
"What does she want to do?"
"She's going to ask you about the crime of doting on a concubine and killing your wife. She said that you haven't seen her since you got sick, and you watched her unconscious, and now you are watching her dying." The old man The man said angrily.
As soon as her son came back, she sent someone to look for him. Unexpectedly, her son went to Aunt Gu's place first. Now she looked at her son and felt full of resentment.
"The Anxinhou Mansion is nothing, but if the Anxinhou Mansion really makes a fuss, will it really benefit you? There is the Anxinhou Mansion outside, and there is Jinxin inside the house, and now you still want to mention Aunt Gu's identity, you Do you really no longer want your position as left prime minister? Why did you tell me that you wanted to be a famous official in history, and this is what you did? You still want to covet that little money, and you really learned a lesson from Aunt Gu. I’m petty.”
The old lady pointed at her son and scolded him.
The old lady has never scolded her son like this since he became the left prime minister, and this time she really couldn't bear it.
Jiang Xuncheng's temples were throbbing with pain. He picked up the tea and drank half a cup of tea: "What request did Mrs. Kong make?"
This is a person who can't afford to be early without any benefit.
"She asked you that if something happens to the Kong family, she will have to decide on your marriage. It depends on what kind of girl you marry as the wife of the prime minister." The old lady said angrily.
She only felt pain in her heart. She was really angry to death. She wished she could give Mrs. Kong a slap in the face to wipe away the arrogance on her face.
"How dare she?" Jiang Xuncheng took a breath of air.
"Why doesn't she dare? You spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. She holds on to this tightly, and the black gauze hat on your head will not be able to be worn firmly. If something happens to Jin Xin again..."
The old lady snorted coldly.
The veins on Jiang Xuncheng's forehead jumped a few times. His daughter could suppress internal and external troubles, but she could not directly suppress Mrs. Kong.
"Give all that Luo Fei has rewarded to Jin Xin, and then let her enter the palace to express her gratitude." The old lady said without any refutation.
Jiang Xuncheng did not hesitate this time and nodded.
"Aunt Gu will go to Lotus Temple to offer incense for a month." The old lady continued.
"Mother?" Jiang Xuncheng was startled and suddenly raised his head.
"You want to give Aunt Gu a high status, and you want to suppress their mother and daughter's plans to plot the affairs of Kong and his daughter. What do you want to do?" The old lady looked at her son coldly.
"Mother, Aunt Gu is kind-hearted. What happened before was also done by a servant. She was really unaware of it. As for what happened this time, it was really an accident. Mother also punished her and asked her to beat the man to death. Mother-in-law, Aunt Gu didn't sleep well all night, she woke up from time to time, and now... she's still in shock."
Jiang Xuncheng explained for Aunt Gu.
"Why, she is still dreaming about becoming the wife of the wife?" The old lady frowned.
"Mom, Brother Han is her biological child. For the sake of her biological son, she had to become a concubine. Back then... her son had promised her to reunite her mother and son," Jiang Xuncheng said.
"So, you want Kong's life?" the old lady said angrily.
"Mother, that's not what my son meant. Mr. Kong's health is not good and he is not destined to live a long life. If he is gone one day, the son wants to raise Aunt Gu as his main wife. When she has an identity, her position as the main wife will be appropriate. This is consistent with The Kong family is fine, and they are reunited with Brother Han and Aunt Gu, but they are reunited with mother and son in the true sense."
Jiang Xuncheng paused and then said.
"Thank you for being able to speak out!" The old lady was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. "It is absolutely impossible for Aunt Gu to be the main wife. Mrs. Kong Tai has already spoken, and I agree."
"Mother agrees?" Jiang Xuncheng was surprised.
"Don't you agree to let her make trouble now? At this juncture?" the old lady asked.
"But Brother Han is her biological son, and Brother Han is also my only heir." Jiang Xuncheng was confused.
The old lady felt a chill in her heart...
Jiang Linhan's appearance that day once again struck the old lady's heart.
"You are still young. As long as Kong's health is better, you can have a legitimate son."
"Mother, Mrs. Kong hurt her body..." Jiang Xuncheng said.
"Then let's have a few more concubines. What's the use of one son? With a few more sons, the brothers can take care of each other." The old lady said.
Jiang Xuncheng did not respond.
The old lady can't push too hard. If she doesn't do this well, her son will hate her, and her only grandson will also hate her.
Why do you only have one grandson? This thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
The voice softened slightly: "Now this matter concerns you. Do you want to give up your previous ambition? You said before that although you are a leftist prime minister, your foundation is shallow, and there is no particularly useful person around you. You should be more cautious now. Yes, now...you don't need it anymore? Jin Xin is going to the palace soon."
The old lady reminded.
Jiang Xuncheng's back broke into a cold sweat at the words, and he immediately came to his senses. He paused and nodded: "As mother wishes, Aunt Gu... go to Liancha Temple to pray for mother for half a month."
Time is cut in half.
Seeing that the old lady was silent, Jiang Xuncheng explained: "Mother, I will send all Luo Fei's belongings to Jinxin, and I will also visit Kong. Aunt Gu is not in good health, and we cannot let her stay in the nunnery. Linglong is not Don't worry, Brother Han doesn't worry either, no matter what, Aunt Gu has no intention of murdering the Kong family."
"Okay, you go see Mrs. Kong and ask about her health. If it really doesn't work, you have to ask the imperial doctor. No matter what you think, the matter must be done." The old lady did not force it anymore and said, " The Queen will still have grace, and if Jinxin is willing to give you a reward, your benefits will be more than what you see in front of you."
Jiang Xuncheng's heart moved when he said this: "The Queen's reward?"
"Since the chamberlain said so, it should be morning and evening." The old lady said, "This benefit is really a benefit if it falls on you."
Jiang Xuncheng nodded. His foundation is not stable now. Although he is the head of a hundred officials, everyone now basically looks at the right prime minister. Where did this left prime minister come from? Jiang Xuncheng also knew in his heart that if Jiang Jinxin's benefits were replaced by the emperor Favor for yourself, real benefits.
The benefit was so great that it was almost equivalent to his previous appointment as prime minister. After all, this was a favor to save the prince. Not only the emperor, but also the prince was also involved.
What happens in the court affects the whole body...
"Don't worry, mother, my son will go see Kong now." Jiang Xuncheng already had an idea in his mind and agreed with the old lady's point of view.
He sent someone to pick up the gift list from Aunt Gu, and had someone send the gift over first. After a few more discussions with the old lady, mother and son, Jiang Xuncheng took the boy to Kong's place in the backyard.
This was the first time Jiang Xuncheng set foot on Kong's place a few days after Kong's return.
In the past, Kong came back occasionally, and Jiang Xuncheng rarely saw him.
Jiang Jinxin smiled when she saw the gift list delivered together with the gifts, and then saw the deep nail marks on the gift list, the traces of unwillingness left behind.
