Chapter 8 Father Jiang is angry
After seeing off Eunuch Wang and others, the other people in the Duke's Mansion took their leave and returned to their own courtyards.
Just like usual, they stayed in their own yard when they had nothing to do and rarely went out of the yard.
Only Jiang Qingyu, Jiang's father, the eldest lady and Jiang Qingchen were left in the front hall, with a few servants in the distance.
Father Jiang looked at his daughter Jiang Qingyu cautiously and expressed his thoughts weakly.
"Yu'er, how could you do such a thing as drugging the King of Qi? You are a woman, if this gets out, how will you face people in the future?
Although the emperor has suppressed it now, what if... "
Before Father Jiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Qingyu.
Facing his eldest daughter with a hot temper, Father Jiang was actually a little scared.
He secretly glanced at Jiang Qingyu, fearing that if he said too much, she would start quarreling with him again.
"Dad, now that things have happened, what's the point of talking about these things? You might as well use this time to think about what to do next.
How about you go talk to the Emperor and cancel the engagement? The King of Qi doesn’t like this engagement anyway.”
After hearing what Jiang Qingyu said, Father Jiang stepped back in fear.
If the eldest lady hadn't helped him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Yu'er, please don't try to scare Dad with this kind of joke. The imperial decree has already been issued and we have accepted it. If you say you want to cancel the engagement now, I'm afraid you will lose your head."
Jiang Qingyu felt bored when she saw Jiang Dad's reaction.
She just wanted to tease him, but who knew that just one sentence could scare him.
"Alright, alright, stand up straight. As a man, the owner of the Duke's Mansion, how can you be so frightened?
I was just joking. You're going to be the father-in-law of the King of Qi in the future. Won't others look up to you?
Show your dignity as the master of the Duke's Mansion. If the King of Qi bullies me, you still have to support me."
Hearing this, Father Jiang stood up reluctantly and pushed away the eldest lady's hand.
"Yu'er, stop joking, Dad is scared.
You are about to marry the King of Qi, so you should change your temper and try not to make the King of Qi angry.
From now on you are husband and wife, so you should live a good life.
I believe that with the character of the King of Qi, as long as you don't cause trouble, he will definitely not make things difficult for you.
But if the King of Qi really bullies you, tell me that I will protect you at the cost of my own life."
After Father Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Qingyu clearly saw that his hands were shaking.
After a long time, Jiang Qingyu finally heard something manly from Jiang's father, and her impression of him changed a little.
"Well, now this is what a man should be like. It's nothing like being submissive all day long.
Keep this momentum, and you won’t be laughed at by others.”
After hearing what Jiang Qingyu said, Father Jiang felt a little embarrassed. He straightened his back, sternly faced her, and spoke in a serious tone.
"We are talking about you now, how did it get to me?"
This might be the toughest that Father Jiang has spoken in the past thirty or forty years, making it seem as if he was really angry.
Seeing that Father Jiang looked angry, the eldest lady Liu Siyi could not stand it any longer.
She let go of Jiang Qingchen's hand, walked towards the father and daughter, with tears in her eyes, and pulled at Jiang's father's sleeve.
"Master, please don't blame the eldest lady for my sister's sake. If you want to punish someone, punish me instead.
It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Yu'er and let this happen to her.
I feel guilty about my sister's instructions, and I will apologize to her in person in the future."
Looking at the crying eldest lady Liu Siyi, Father Jiang felt somewhat accustomed to it.
It's like this every time. Whenever Yu'er does something wrong and he's about to teach her a lesson, Liu Siyi will stand up and say a bunch of things.
After so many times, he gradually didn't dare to care about Jiang Qingyu anymore.
In the past, they were just minor incidents and we just ignored them, but this time the mess was too big.
It is also because of the emperor's mercy, otherwise Jiang Qingyu would have been in jail now and would not be standing here.
"Madam, I don't want to punish Yu'er, but I feel that the King of Qi doesn't really love Yu'er.
Now Yu'er has done such a thing again, and I am afraid that she will be wronged when she marries into the palace in the future.
Even if you are wronged after marrying into the royal family, where can you seek justice?
I am really worried about Yu'er's future. Alas, it's too late to say anything now."
Father Jiang spoke out all his thoughts in one breath, and he felt annoyed when he saw Liu Siyi still crying in front of him.
Now that things have come to this, he might as well prepare for the wedding, make it as decent as possible, and bring more face to Yu'er.
"Yu'er and Chen'er, you two take care of the Madam. I'm going to go prepare for the wedding first.
There are only three days left until the wedding, time is running out so we have to get busy right away."
After Father Jiang left, only Jiang Qingyu, Liu Siyi and Jiang Qingchen, who had been silent, were left. The three of them looked at each other in silence.
After Jiang Qingyu saw what had just happened, she finally understood.
Why would such a weak father give birth to a daughter as strong as "Jiang Qingyu"? I'm afraid Liu Siyi's "contribution" is indispensable.
When other people's children do something wrong, their parents will discipline them and teach them what they cannot do, what they can do, and how to do it.
But the woman in front of her, who was both her aunt and stepmother, only spoiled "Jiang Qingyu" and never taught her what was right and wrong.
She also didn't allow Dad Jiang to discipline her, as she would start crying whenever Dad Jiang tried to discipline her.
She often said, "Yu'er is not my biological child, and it was my sister who promoted me to be the Duke's wife.
If I punish her, how will others look at me? They will definitely say that I am ungrateful, that I don’t care about family affection, and that I abuse my sister’s child.”
Over time, "Jiang Qingyu" lost the ability to judge right from wrong under Liu Siyi's teachings.
Not only that, when "Jiang Qingyu" started to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Liu Siyi acted particularly distressed whenever she said that learning these was too tiring.
Liu Siyi held Jiang Qingyu's hand, looked at the red marks on it, her eyes welling with tears.
"You are the eldest daughter of our Duke's Mansion, so you won't starve even if you don't know these things.
Look at how my good hands have been ruined. Tomorrow I will tell my teacher that I don’t want to learn anymore.”
Just like that, "Jiang Qingyu" slowly became a useless person who only depended on the Duke's Mansion for survival. He was good for nothing and had no strengths.
While others were studying in the classroom, she was playing mischief outside.
While others were reviewing their lessons, she was eating, drinking and having fun.
For example, Liu Siyi's biological daughter Jiang Qingchen is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Masters were invited one after another, and Liu Siyi never felt sorry for the money.
So her daughter became known as the most talented woman in the world.
In this regard, "Jiang Qingyu" also asked Liu Siyi, "We are all daughters of the Duke's Mansion, why should my sister be so hard-working? If she is so tired, what is the point of learning?"
Liu Siyi only said, "Chen'er is different from the eldest lady. After all, she is just the daughter of the second wife. If she doesn't learn some skills, I'm afraid she won't be able to marry into a good family in the future."
"Jiang Qingyu" dispelled his doubts and lived a "free" life every day.
