Today is the tenth day of the lunar month. Shen Manshu and He Wanyun took their children to Furui Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Jiang early.
After Shen Qingyao was accepted by Jiang Yanzhou as his roommate, she could follow the second roommate to Furui Hall. Unlike before, it was difficult to appear in front of Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Xueyi sat dignifiedly among the female members of the Jiang family, back to her noble white swan appearance.
"Grandma, Nv De Sun Daughter has copied it three hundred times."
Jiang Ning presented the ink paper in her hand to Nanny Zhang.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at her coldly and only made a cold scoff.
"Sixth sister hasn't congratulated my cousin yet. You are the one who orchestrated everything between her and second brother. I'm here today too. Why don't you take this opportunity to say congratulations to her."
Jiang Xueyuan wanted to vent her anger for Jiang Xueyi, so she started to stir up trouble before Jiang Ning sat down.
Shen Qingyao always hated Jiang Ning in her heart for preventing her from becoming Jiang Yanzhou's wife, let alone hearing her congratulations to her. She immediately looked at Jiang Ning with a cold smile and said, "Sixth sister is the benefactor of my cousin and I, but I am I should remember her kindness, so I don’t dare bother her to congratulate me, that would be a disgrace to me."
The words were extremely sarcastic, and the female members of the Jiang family had various expressions on their faces, waiting to see Jiang Ning's joke.
Unexpectedly, she walked up to Shen Qingyao with light steps, took her slender hands on her legs, and said with a smile: "My cousin will give birth to a son and a half daughter to the second brother as soon as possible. The second brother will have an heir." "Mian Yan" can be regarded as repaying my kindness."
Shen Qingyao felt the foreign object in her palm. After Jiang Ning let go of her hand, she immediately put the object quietly into her sleeve.
Looking at the harmonious scene between sister and sister, Jiang Xueyan clutched the silk handkerchief hard, and had to stop under He Wanyun's vigilance.
But Mrs. Jiang would not let Jiang Ning have an easy time. She asked Nanny Zhang to hand over a post and said to Jiang Ning: "This is a post sent by someone from the Fang family early in the morning. It says that the young master of the Fang family wants to be with you." I’ll see you before I come in.”
Jiang Ning opened it and saw that she had already decided to go boating on Moon Lake tomorrow.
The girls' families in Jingzhou City all knew that Fang Cili had a lustful nature. When they saw him, they wanted to take a detour and let Jiang Ning meet him before marrying into the Fang family. It was clear that they wanted her to lose her virginity before getting married.
Such a sinister idea was obviously thought up by the people sitting in this room. If something happened, Jiang Ning's life would be completely in their hands.
"But men and women are not close to each other. Meeting before marriage is already considered a breach of etiquette. What's more, a man and a woman are alone in the same boat. It would be better if someone can accompany them."
Jiang Ning looked at the date on the post with a confused look on her face.
Mrs. Jiang frowned, "Who do you want to accompany you?"
Jiang Ning raised her eyes, and the autumn light swept across the second and third bedrooms one by one. Jiang Xueyi and Jiang Xueyian both looked away, refusing to look at her.
A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Ning's lips. She knew that even if she asked Jiang Xueyi and Jiang Xueyuan to accompany her, Mrs. Jiang would definitely not let go, so she cast her eyes on Shen Qingyao, bent her eyebrows at her and said, "That's it. Let my cousin accompany me."
In this way, Mrs. Jiang and the second and third bedrooms were obviously relieved. After all, Jiang Xueyi and Jiang Xueyan had not left the cabinet yet, so it would be okay if they were targeted by a lecher like Fang Cili.
Mrs. Jiang and Shen Manshu did not refuse, so they acquiesced.
But they couldn't see that Shen Qingyao was clutching her dress tightly at this moment.
After everyone dispersed, Shen Manshu called Shen Qingyao aside and gave her a few words of instruction, probably asking her to keep a good eye on Jiang Ning and see her being defiled by Fang Cili before leaving.
Shen Qingyao responded warmly and immediately opened the note that Jiang Ning had sent to her in Furui Hall after returning to Mozhuxuan.
There was a line of small words on it, which said that Shen Manshu had been secretly looking for a wife for Jiang Yanzhou for a long time. Her favorite was Pei Qingmei, the daughter of Pei Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs.
The implication was to tell Shen Qingyao that even if Jiang Ning didn't reveal her affair with Jiang Yanzhou, she would not be the wife of the second-fang young master. If she stood on the same front as her, she could still help her securely take this position. The position of the main wife.
Shen Qingyao breathed slightly and threw the note in his hand into the brazier in front of him with trembling hands.
