Jiang Qingyue didn't want to listen.

Frowning, "Please speak, my lord."

Xue Feimu looked at her with a fiery gaze.

Jiang Qingyue's clothes today were similar to those she wore before, but after what happened yesterday, when he looked at Jiang Qingyue again, he felt that she was beautiful no matter how he looked at her.

"I promise you, I will consummate my marriage with you when my leg gets better. I didn't have such an idea before, but when I think about how much you have contributed to the Marquis' Mansion, I should do something to repay you."

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Qingyue almost choked on her breath.

I wish I were deaf.

I actually heard such words.

She had never regretted so much for her hard work in managing the Marquis' Mansion.

"Don't get too excited. I'll do what I say. Don't worry."

Jiang Qingyue held onto a pillar beside her, suppressed the nausea in her heart, lowered her head, took a deep breath, and stopped herself from cursing out loud.

"Let's wait until your leg is healed, nothing is more important than your health.

"If you have time, please go to Miaowenyuan to visit Aunt Chu more often. She has lost her child now and needs company the most."

After Xue Feimu heard Jiang Qingyue say this, he felt that Jiang Qingyue was not only beautiful but also so considerate, which made her even more likable.

"I will make arrangements for Wan'er, and I will also take care of you."

Jiang Qingyue really wanted to say that it was not necessary. She felt physically uncomfortable after hearing these words.

Xue Feimu continued to chatter:

"Don't worry, Wan'er is very sensible and will definitely not get upset over something like this. I believe you two will become very good sisters in the future.

"As long as you give in a little, you two will be able to get along well."

Jiang Qingyue turned sideways and rolled her eyes, regretting that she had not learned the swear words used in the vegetable market.

"As long as Aunt Chu doesn't cause trouble for me, we will be friendly."

"Don't worry about this, I have already talked to her today, and she has realized her mistake.

"I will definitely treat you as my own sister from now on, and things like today will never happen again. If she doesn't understand something in the future, you can teach her."

Jiang Qingyue didn't know if she didn't check the almanac before going out today, and she had to suffer such a punishment.

She felt that ever since Xue Feimu came, the air around her was not very good and smelled disgusting.

She didn't want to say another word to Xue Feimu.

“I had already said these words to you at Wutong Courtyard on the night when the prince returned. There is no need to bring up the past again.

"I already understand what the prince means, please go back."

Xue Feimu noticed that Jiang Qingyue seemed a little unhappy:

"I know you're worried about my health. Don't worry, I've rested for a long time today, so it's okay. The doctor said it would be good for me to walk around.

"I'm telling you this, you don't have to be shy. We are husband and wife, and there will always be such a day. You don't have to be afraid, I will take care of you..."

Jiang Qingyue felt that if she continued listening, her ears would become deaf and her eyes would go blind.

A person can be shameless, treacherous, and evil, but he cannot be so disgusting.

She felt so disgusted that she felt like she was going to vomit any moment.

"Prince, there is no need to say any more." Jiang Qingyue stopped him in a cold voice.

Xue Feimu was stunned.

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue's face looked a little strange, he thought it was because of shyness, and he naturally understood.

"Forget it. I won't say anything. I'll tell you later when we consummate our marriage..."

"Please go back, my lord."

"Well, you should go to bed early. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Xue Feimu thought to himself that women would naturally be shy about this kind of thing, and he should give her some time to adapt.

After Xue Feimu was pushed away by the servant, Jiang Qingyue let out a breath and sat down on the chair behind him.

She really couldn't stay in this mansion for a moment longer. She felt that if she stayed any longer, she would die sooner or later.

Xue Feimu's shamelessness is really... hard to describe in words.

Jiang Qingyue sat for a while and still felt uncomfortable. She took a shower and felt a little refreshed.

She had originally planned to return home in a few days, but as she didn't want to wait any longer, Jiang Qingyue took Luhuan and Zisu with her and prepared to go to the Jiang family early the next morning.

I delivered the post early in the morning and didn't leave until noon.

She didn't have a good impression of the Jiang family.

In the past few years since she got married, she would not go back unless it was necessary. If she did go back, it was just to go through the formalities and maintain superficial decency.

I used to think that since I was the daughter of the Jiang family, I shouldn’t be too rude.

Now, that was completely out of her mind.

Especially when she knew that there was something else going on behind her mother's death, she no longer had any thoughts about the Jiang family.

When Jiang Qingyue thought of the Jiang family, her eyes turned cold.

The carriage arrived at the Jiang residence, but no one came forward to greet it.

She submitted the invitation, but there was no response from the Jiang family, and she didn't take it to heart.

Perhaps without expectation, there is no disappointment.

She calmly asked someone to knock on the door. The doorman came to open the door, saw that it was her, and invited her in. Jiang Qingyue casually handed the doorman a small piece of silver.

The gatekeeper took it with a smile, hesitated a little, and added:

"Miss Third, I'm really sorry. Miss Third just returned home, so we all went to the front and neglected Miss Third."

Jiang Qingyue paused and raised her eyebrows slightly: Jiang Peilan is back too.

She looked towards the main courtyard and asked Lu Huan to give the servant another piece of silver. The servant happily took it and thanked her profusely:

"My humble servant Wang Quan, thank you very much, Third Miss."

After hearing him introduce himself and say his name, Jiang Qingyue looked at him for a second longer.

Lu Huan followed him to the inner courtyard and quietly asked when no one was around:

"Madam, how come the young lady is back at this time?"

Speaking of Jiang Peilan, Lu Huan frowned.

When the eldest daughter was in the mansion, she had always been at odds with her own wife, always opposing her own wife openly or secretly.

Later, they each got married, and every time they met, the young lady would always come to make trouble.

The lady is a concubine's daughter. When she returns to the Jiang family and meets the eldest daughter, you know what will happen without having to think about it.

The Madam will definitely support her biological daughter, the Master will also support the legitimate daughter, and the Fourth Young Master will naturally support his elder sister. No one in the Jiang Mansion will support the Madam.

She was a little worried about her wife.

"I don't know, just ignore it." Jiang Qingyue's face was calm.

Jiang Peilan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is the biological daughter of Jiang's mistress, Cao.

Two years older than her.

She was engaged to Xue Feimu in the past, but the Marquis's mansion fell into decline and she was unwilling to marry him, so she was asked to marry in his place.

Not long after her marriage, Jiang Peilan married Prime Minister Ji Yunzhi and became the Prime Minister's wife.

Her elder sister, since childhood, has always competed with her in everything. It is obvious that she, a concubine's daughter, is not as good as her in any way and cannot compare with her in any way, but she still wants to compete with her.

Jiang Peilan would take whatever she had.

Jiang Peilan would grab everything as long as it belonged to her.

When she was in the mansion, her aunt asked her to be tolerant, and she suffered a lot from Jiang Peilan.

Every time I saw her before, I would avoid her as much as possible and didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Main courtyard.

Before Jiang Qingyue entered the house, she heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. She calmed herself down and went straight into the house.

When she entered the room, the noise in the room suddenly stopped.

Cao and Jiang Peilan were sitting at the table, looking towards the door together.

Cao was less than forty years old. She was dressed in royal blue brocade with cloud patterns, a set of sapphire headpiece, her hair was combed meticulously, and there were some fine lines on her face. At first glance, she looked like a well-maintained noblewoman.

Jiang Peilan, who was standing aside, was wearing an orange flowing fairy dress, a full set of head ornaments, an eight-colored cloud hairpin pinned to her hair, and an ice-green bracelet on her wrist. She looked very noble and one could tell at a glance that she had been carefully dressed up.

She took after Cao's appearance. At first glance, she was pretty and gentle, and was indeed a beauty. But compared with Jiang Qingyue, she immediately looked much inferior.

Jiang Qingyue bowed to the two of them: "Hello mother, hello sister."

Jiang Peilan looked at her and saw that Jiang Qingyue looked radiant. Even her plain dress did not hide her beauty at all.

Compared to before, she is not only more charming and stunningly beautiful, but also has a more indescribable meaning.

It seems that he is not so humble and submissive anymore, and at first glance he looks like a serious master.

The more Jiang Peilan looked at it, the tighter her brows furrowed, and a feeling of jealousy rose in her heart.

"Oh, who am I? It turns out that my sister is back. I heard that my brother-in-law got a job as a clerk in the Imperial Household Department. Congratulations."

Jiang Peilan was sarcastic and couldn't wait to make fun of Jiang Qingyue.

The son of a marquisate actually got a job in the Imperial Household Department. When she heard the news, she laughed for a long time. If her husband got such a job, she would be so ashamed that she would dig a hole and bury herself. She would not be able to face people. Those who knew her would probably laugh at her behind her back.

Jiang Qingyue's expression was indifferent. "Thank you, sister. The Marquis' Mansion will hold a welcoming banquet soon. I hope you will come to the Marquis' Mansion at that time."

Jiang Peilan saw that Jiang Qingyue was not angry or embarrassed, nor did she have any other strange expressions. She was puzzled and her facial expression changed.

"Sister, you don't have to be so reserved in front of your family. If you have any grievances, you can talk to your sister and mother. Your family will always be on your side."

"Thank you, sister. I am doing well and have no grievances."

After hearing what Jiang Qingyue said, it was very good. Jiang Peilan felt uncomfortable and wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Cao.

"Why are you still standing at the door? Come over and sit down, so we can have a good talk."

Cao had a fake smile on her face, and Jiang Qingyue didn't hesitate to come over and sit down.

Cao asked the maid to serve tea: "Why didn't you send a note when you came back? The family didn't prepare anything."

"I have already sent the post, but my mother was busy and didn't see it."

"Oh, that must be the negligence of the subordinates. Mother will punish them later."

Jiang Qingyue smiled after hearing this, took the tea handed to her by the servant and took a sip.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Seeing Jiang Qingyue so relaxed, Cao secretly glanced at her.

"How's life going at home lately?"

"Thanks to my mother, everything is fine."

Cao looked at Jiang Peilan, and seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, she sighed.

This is the bad thing about her daughter. Everything she has is written on her face, and she's afraid that others can't see it.

It’s okay when I’m at home, but I’m afraid I’ll suffer if I do this outside.

Fortunately, there are few people in the Prime Minister's Mansion and there are no conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.

Seeing that Jiang Peilan looked unhappy and couldn't help but say something, Cao spoke first:

"Regarding the news that the prince of the Marquis' Mansion has been appointed to the Imperial Household Department, is it true or false? How can a prince be appointed to such a position? How will the people of the Marquis' Mansion face others in the future?"

It has to be said that Cao's rank is much higher than Jiang Peilan's.

It was the same thing, but Cao said it in a caring tone.

Not only did she slap someone in the face, but the other party couldn't find any fault with her and she was given a false accusation.

Jiang Peilan listened to this, couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and nodded silently at Cao.

Her mother is indeed amazing.

"Yes, yes, this must be false. It must be a lie spread by those who have a grudge against the Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Qingyue: "I don't know whether it's real or fake."

Jiang Peilan had to see Jiang Qingyue's joke today: "You don't know? The news has spread all over the capital. The emperor issued an order in the morning court, and everyone in the Great Zhou knew it later. How could you not know? You are deceiving yourself. After all, who would feel good if such a thing happened to them, right?"

Jiang Qingyue: "I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I haven't specifically asked about it, so I really don't know what the situation is. For me, no matter what official position the prince holds, I just need to take care of the affairs of the inner house."

"But if you want to know, I can ask when I get back."

"We are all family, so you don't have to pretend. Do you know what the position of the Silijian is? It is responsible for managing eunuchs. A military commander is a general when he goes to war, but when he comes back, he has to manage eunuchs."

Jiang Peilan looked as if she was watching a joke.

Jiang Qingyue didn't do what she wanted at all: "Sister, you are very concerned about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, but do you regret breaking up the marriage?"

"You're talking nonsense. When did I ever say that?"

Jiang Peilan suddenly became anxious, her eyebrows raised, and she shouted angrily.

"Since you don't think so, it's better not to ask too many questions, otherwise I will just think you regret it."

"Jiang Qingyue, who the hell are you? How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know that you are now a rat crossing the street? You are the wife of a prince, the daughter of the Minister of War, but your husband actually manages a group of eunuchs.

"Do you know that I will be laughed at because of you? You are shameless, but I still have some dignity."

Jiang Peilan has always been so loud at Jiang Qingyue, and now that they are in the Jiang Mansion, she has no scruples.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the angry Jiang Peilan:

"Sister, you are wrong to say that. No matter what position you hold, it is appointed by the emperor and you are serving the court. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Sister, are you dissatisfied with the emperor's actions when you say that?"

"You...how could I mean that?"

Jiang Peilan was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she was angry and anxious. She wanted to explain herself, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. Even if she didn't understand, she knew what the crime was for questioning the emperor.

"That's not what your sister meant."

Seeing that something was not right, Cao hurried out to speak.

When she heard Jiang Qingyue talking about the emperor just now, her eyelids could not help but jump. Being accused of being dissatisfied with the emperor would be a serious crime.

"Qingyue misunderstood your sister, she definitely didn't mean that.

"She is a woman from the harem, how can she understand what is going on in the court? She was just joking with you, and it has nothing to do with the emperor, so don't take it seriously.

"If this word gets out, it will not benefit anyone. I don't think Qingyue is the kind of evil person who would put the family in an unjust situation."
