Jiang Zhenghou's frown was so tight that it could kill a fly. He said, "Okay, stop crying and think about how to solve this problem first."

"You can't be separated from the family!"

He kept repeating this sentence to make Jian understand the importance of being in the Bo Mansion.

"You can complain, but you should also prioritize."

"After Jiang Zhinian gets married, she won't be able to manage the affairs of the Bo Mansion. It will be useless for mother to pamper her."

"And if she wants to rely on her parents' support after she gets married, she will need the Earl's Mansion. At that time, mother will definitely choose a grandson from among our families to inherit the title of the Earl's Mansion."

Jiang Zhenghou really didn't have this idea before, but he sees clearly what the first wife is like now.

So he felt that Brother Hao had a great chance.

Once Haoge'er is able to inherit the Earl's Mansion, the Earl's Mansion will be under the control of their second branch.

As for the lady, she is old and will pass away sooner or later.

"Besides, if you want to choose a noble family for Fang Jie'er, you still have to rely on the current power and status of the Bo Mansion."

"No matter what, the Bo Mansion holds a great importance in the emperor's heart."

When he was working outside, people looked at him, but in fact they were not looking at him, but at the Bo Mansion behind him.

When it comes to interests, Jiang Zhenghou has a clear calculation.

It’s just that he has an older brother, so in order to live well in the Earl’s Mansion, he has known how to survive since he was a child.

One's ambitions must never be exposed.

These were the survival skills his aunt taught him when she was still alive.

Mrs. Jian was angry and helpless, "But she said she wanted to separate us from the family, and she also said that it was your father's original statement, and there is a letter."

"Looking at what she said, it doesn't sound like she was lying."

"What should I do now? Should I continue to endure it?"

Jiang Zhenghou thought about it carefully and analyzed: "At this juncture, if she separates us from the family, it will be even more detrimental to Jiang Zhinian's reputation."

"By then, some people will think that Jiang Zhinian can't tolerate me as her uncle and you as her aunt, or even her sister. Her reputation will be even worse, and she won't even think about becoming the Crown Princess."

"So the Madam should just be saying it to scare us."

"But they won't really separate us."

"I'll go ask first and apologize, and maybe this matter will be over."

Jian said, "Do I have to endure it and let you suffer injustice again?"

"Why, why do you treat us like this, and we still have to endure it."

Jane felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"Why else? Because she is the boss of the Bo's Mansion. She has the ability and status. The Bo's Mansion still relies on her, not to mention us."

"What can I do? I am a concubine's son."

Jiang Zhenghou also had complaints in his heart, but he always kept them to himself.

After Jiang Zhenghou shouted this, Jian dared not speak anymore.

Seeing that Jian's face was not very good, Jiang Zhenghou softened his tone and said, "Just think of it as doing it for Fang Jie'er and Hao Ge'er."

"We are still in the Bo's Mansion and have not separated. Others will be willing to arrange a marriage for Fang Jie'er and Hao Ge'er for the sake of the Bo's Mansion."

"But if you leave the Bo Mansion, you will be nothing."

This is the truth!

But they had to face this fact.

Jane stopped talking.

Just as the two were discussing, Jiang Caifang walked in, "Dad and Mom!"

"Why are you here?"

"Mom, I heard something from the servants, so I came to take a look."

Jiang Caifang walked over and sat down next to her parents. "Mom and Dad, I heard that the nephew of the Right Assistant Minister has been engaged. Is the Zhu family unhappy?"

Jiang Caifang, as a girl, shouldn't be involved in such matters. She should listen to her parents' arrangements.

But she was a little anxious.

She wanted to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of luxury.

She didn't want to be like her parents, who had to make a humble living in the mansion of an uncle because they were born out of wedlock.

Mrs. Jian didn't know how to tell her daughter, "Caifang, the Zhu family may not be a good choice. I'll help you find something else."

Jian also understood that without the help of the lady, the Zhu family might not be happy at all.

Moreover, Jiang Zhinian has such a bad reputation that it will also affect the reputation of the girls in the mansion.

"It's all Jiang Zhinian's fault. She hooked up with this and that. You know how bad her reputation is outside. Others might consider this."

Jiang Caifang was originally envious of Jiang Zhinian for having the possibility of becoming the Crown Princess, but after hearing the rumors outside, she also knew that Jiang Zhinian would not be able to become the Crown Princess.

Realizing this, she felt a secret pleasure in her heart.

In fact, she was very jealous of Jiang Zhinian.

I have been jealous since childhood.

"But Caifang, don't worry, you are a good girl. Jiang Zhinian is so arrogant because she has your grandmother's protection. In fact, she herself can't compare with you at all."

"Then the prince certainly doesn't really care about her."

"It's probably aimed at your grandmother."

Jiang Caifang said: "I guess it was my elder sister who said something in front of my grandmother."

"My elder sister might have something against me."

She remembered that when she was a child, every time Jiang Zhinian and Jiang Chuchu had conflicts or quarrels, and every time Jiang Chuchu framed Jiang Zhinian, she saw it but pretended not to see it.

At that time, Shi was powerful and was in charge of the household affairs of the Bo's Mansion. Naturally, she could not offend Shi.

Jian became even angrier when she heard this, "Are you saying that Jiang Zhinian was the one who instigated this?"

"This Jiang Zhinian simply doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

"Okay, if Madam Tai kicks us out, we'll just say Jiang Zhinian asked Madam Tai to do it."

"She is disrespectful to her elders. With such behavior, she still wants to become the Crown Princess."

Jiang Zhenghou said: "Nonsense!"

"How can you say such things casually?"

"If she becomes the Crown Princess, it will only benefit our Second House and Sister Fang. Sister Fang's worth will also rise."

"You must never say such things outside."

Jane was speechless and stopped talking.

But that's what she thought in her heart.

She thinks Jiang Zhinian is not worthy.

Jiang Caifang also knows this.

But I was indeed jealous and unwilling in my heart.

She thought that after Jiang Zhinian was divorced, she became useless and could not hold her head up anymore.

Who would have thought that Jiang Zhinian could do so many things and even catch the prince's eye.

Is it because my grandmother is partial to me, or because of her status?

"Mom and Dad, how about I go and apologize to my elder sister!"

"Please ask elder sister to show some leniency and ask grandma to help you."

"The key to this matter lies with my eldest sister. My grandmother listens to her the most."

Jiang Caifang was busy with her business and naturally knew how to benefit herself.

So she could hold back her true emotions and ask Jiang Zhinian for help.

How could Jian be willing to do that? "That Jiang Zhinian is the most vicious. I told her to give you some advice and help you. Even if you learn some medicinal herbs from her, you will benefit a lot. But she mocked me and didn't help you at all."

"This kind of person is selfish. Why would you ask her for help?"

"It's no use begging her."
