Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Cao was very smooth in his speech, and while he achieved his goal, no one could find fault with him.

She was very adept at using such moral blackmail.

Jiang Qingyue listened quietly. Putting aside other things, this point of Cao's is indeed worth learning.

She integrates what she has learned and applies it immediately:

"Mother is right. When Qingyue got married, mother told Qingyue that if the mansion is good, then Qingyue is good. Qingyue always remembers it and will never forget it.

"I think my sister will not forget it, and she will not be the evil person who puts the family in an unjust situation. I believe that what she said just now was unintentional. It's okay if it's just at home. I'm not a talkative person. I still have to be careful when I'm outside. Otherwise, I will cause trouble with my mouth and harm the Jiang family without knowing it."

"You...Jiang Qingyue, you are so outrageous."

Jiang Peilan was so angry that she started to retort.

She really couldn't understand how someone like Jiang Qingyue had the confidence to say such things and speak to her like that.

She is nothing.

The more she thought about it, the more she disliked Jiang Qingyue and the angrier she became.

"Don't be angry, sister. I am also thinking about you."

Jiang Qingyue drank her tea calmly. Jiang Peilan's expression of disliking her but being unable to do anything about her was really pretty.

Cao on the side frowned and looked at Jiang Qingyue.

This time, after Jiang Qingyue returned home, she was completely different from before.

"Alright, alright, sisters, why are you angry? Talk nicely.

"You guys are all married and become wives, why are you still acting like children and quarreling?

"It's a rare opportunity for us to come back, so we should sit together as a family and have a peaceful chat."

Cao's words made the matter less of a big one and he let it go.

"nature."

Jiang Qingyue's tone remained calm, which inexplicably made Cao feel a sense of crisis.

Jiang Peilan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cao. She glared at Jiang Qingyue, but endured it and drank a cup of tea on the table.

Cao smiled at Jiang Qingyue:

"Now that the prince has returned, you have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Mother and your sister are truly happy for you."

"Well, Qingyue is also happy."

"Now that the prince is back, you will have hope for the future. You must give birth to a child as soon as possible."

Jiang Qingyue smiled shyly: "Well, yes."

Cao nodded, and then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she asked with a worried look on her face:

"I heard that when the prince returned to the capital, he brought back a woman and married her. Is this true?"

It has to be said that Cao came from the harem, and she knew best what the women in the harem cared about and what hurt them the most.

Jiang Qingyue had been a widow for three years. When her husband came back, he brought a woman with him and married her. He completely disregarded the reputation of his first wife in the mansion and did not care about the dignity of the mistress at all.

Women in the harem seek favor from their husbands. If that is not possible, they seek respect from their husbands and respect from everyone in the house.

But after the Xue family's eldest son's behavior, Jiang Qingyue felt completely humiliated.

When it comes to this, Jiang Peilan secretly admires her mother for being so capable.

There were no concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she didn't have that kind of feeling and didn't think of this at the first time.

"Yes, sister. I heard about it too. It seems that she is also a lady from a wealthy family, the daughter of a general on the border. It seems that they got married on the border and they have a very good relationship.

"Alas, how will my sister live in the future?"

Jiang Peilan said that she was worried about Jiang Qingyue, but her tone couldn't hide her gloating.

The look he gave Jiang Qingyue was full of mockery.

Jiang Qingyue remained calm and said:

"Just a concubine."

In a word, Cao and Jiang Peilan were clearly blocked.

Cao's heart skipped a beat when she met Jiang Qingyue's gaze.

"Qingyue is right, but we are mistaken."

"It's okay. Thank you mother and sister for your concern."

Jiang Peilan felt disgusted and jealous seeing how Jiang Qingyue remained calm even after hearing such words.

Seeing her like this, Cao could not say anything else.

I feel sad that Jiang Peilan didn't learn anything at all.

But I always feel a little uneasy in my heart.

Jiang Qingyue like this is really...abnormal.

Jiang Qingyue ignored their thoughts and stood up: "Qingyue will take my leave first and go to burn some incense for Auntie."

"Of course you should. Go ahead. Your father will be back soon, so we can have lunch together at noon."

"We'll have dinner next time with the prince. It's good to have seen mother and sister today."

Cao nodded and didn't persuade her any further.

Jiang Qingyue bowed slightly and was about to leave when she heard Jiang Peilan dry heaving twice to the side.

"vomit……"

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but vomit again, which scared Cao:

"What's wrong, Lan'er? Quick, go get the palace doctor."

The servants in the room all started moving, but there was no chaos at all, which showed that Cao usually managed things well.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Jiang Peilan, lowered her eyes, and left the main courtyard.

After they walked away, Lu Huan spoke:

"Madam, can you not go there in the future?"

Neither the wife nor the eldest daughter are good people, and she feels uncomfortable listening to their sarcastic words.

"No, I can only try to come less often. But it doesn't matter, they will never get any good from me in the future."

She is now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so Cao and Jiang Peilan can only say disgusting words verbally.

If she doesn't care, it won't hurt her at all.

To her, it was a small matter.

The scene of Jiang Peilan retching just now appeared in her mind.

In her previous life, the news of her pregnancy was announced when the Prime Minister returned to the capital, but it seems that she is pregnant now.

Judging from Jiang Peilan's appearance, she probably hasn't discovered that she's pregnant yet. That must be the initial reaction of pregnancy, otherwise the doctor would have known long ago.

This usually happens for more than a month.

It has been more than two months since the Prime Minister left Beijing.

She let out a long sigh and went to Jianxueyuan, where her aunt used to live.

After burning incense, he left the house without further delay and went straight to the Lin family.

Compared to going to the Jiang family, she felt joy and anticipation when she went to the Lin family.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Lin's Alley.

From a distance, Jiang Qingyue pulled aside the curtain and saw a lot of people standing at the gate of the Lin family. When they saw her carriage, they all came forward to greet her.

The carriage stopped and Lu Huan helped her get off.

She saw her two aunts and cousin waiting at the door. She couldn't help but shed tears when she met their eager eyes.

"Aunt, second aunt, cousin."

"The moon is here."

The two aunts were all smiling.

"Your grandmother has been waiting for you since early morning. Lunch has been prepared in the mansion, and she is just waiting for you to come back."

Cousin Lin Zhiyuan also stepped forward and said, "Yun'er is back today. She can't come out to greet guests, so she's waiting for you in the grandmother's courtyard."

"Yeah." Jiang Qingyue nodded, her heart softened, and she followed the others into the Lin Mansion.

The Lin family has her grandmother and two uncles, and his mother is the third child.

My uncle Lin Ge was a businessman, and my aunt Su gave birth to a son and a daughter.

My cousin Lin Zhiyuan is a military officer in the capital, and is a sixth-rank ceremonial officer.

My cousin Lin Yun got married last year and married the second son of the brother-in-law of the wife's younger sister of the Minister of Revenue.

My second uncle Lin Que was a juren in the 26th year of the Dazhou Dynasty and a censor of the fifth rank.

My second aunt, Ms. Shen, also has a son and a daughter, but they are still young. My younger cousin is ten years old and my younger cousin is eight years old. They both attend the clan school.

Although the Lin family holds official positions, they are indeed not good enough in the capital city where nobles are everywhere.

Along the way, the two aunts kept talking to Jiang Qingyue.

He didn't mention anything about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion. He only asked her if she was doing well and if she needed any help. If she needed anything, she must tell him and don't be polite.

Jiang Qingyue responded, thinking about the purpose of her visit to the Lin Mansion today, and asked:

"Are the two uncles in the mansion? Is it possible to see them today?"

"Yes, your uncle is out. He has some things to do in the shop, but he will be back by lunchtime."

"My second uncle has been feeling a little unwell these past two days and is resting in his room. If you want to see him, just go there later."

"Yes, it's been a while since we last met. I should go and greet my uncles."

"Yue'er is so polite."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the old lady's Baihe Hall.

As the old lady listened to the maids' message, her eyes were already wet with tears. She got down from the chair tremblingly with the help of a cane.

Lin Yun, who was standing by, also stood up and came over to help.

"Don't worry, grandma. My mother and aunt have gone to pick her up. She should be here soon."

The old lady wiped her eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I am always worried and concerned about you. Thinking about seeing you soon, I can't help but get excited."

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside, "Grandma."

Then a young woman with her hair in a bun came in from outside the door.

Jiang Qingyue walked in and saw the old lady. She could no longer hold back her tears.

She knelt down and bowed deeply: "Granddaughter greets grandmother."

When she married into the Xue family, the family was a mess. She didn't want to drag down the Lin family and seldom returned.

After what happened later, she dared not go back, for fear that Dong Lingyan would target the Lin family. She never returned to the Lin family until her death.

In fact, for Jiang Qingyue, it was a very long time.

Seeing the old lady again at this moment, the feeling of being in another world suddenly surged into my heart.

"Good boy, get up quickly and talk." The old lady was about to help him.

Jiang Qingyue took the old lady's hand and stood up. Not wanting to hurt the old lady, she suppressed her emotions and wiped away her tears.

Seeing her forbearance, the old lady thought of what she had heard recently, and her cloudy eyes were filled with tears:

“It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back.

"Hurry up and sit down, sit down and talk.

"Yes, Grandma."

Jiang Qingyue helped the old lady to sit down, and was pulled by the old lady to sit aside. Before she started to speak, she shed two lines of tears.

"Are you okay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Don't worry, grandma. Qingyue is fine."

The old lady asked again: "Now that the prince is back, is he treating you well?"

"The prince treats me very well, grandma, don't worry. I am the one who manages the Marquis's Mansion now. Compared with those bad ones, I am considered superior. If something happens, the prince will also give me respect."

"That's good, that's good. You are his legally married wife. You have worked hard for the Marquis' Mansion over the years. Even if it is to take outsiders' eyes into consideration, the Marquis' Mansion must give you respect."

"Yes."

"How are you? Don't work too hard. Don't be too tired. Let your subordinates do what you can delegate. Don't worry about everything. You are young now and you can't notice it, but it will be a hidden danger when you are older. It would be best to train a few capable and trustworthy subordinates to help you share some of the burden."

It was a rare occasion for the old lady to see people, so she couldn't help but speak more frequently and said a lot without realizing it.

Jiang Qingyue listened carefully, and a warm feeling surged through her heart.

Looking at the hand tightly held by the old lady, he sniffed and smiled with tears in his eyes:

"Yes, Grandma, Qingyue saved it."

"That's good! That's good."

The old lady looked relieved.

"I used to think that since the prince was gone, you would be a widow for the rest of your life. Now that he is back, I have hope. It will be even better when we have children in the future."

Cao also said the same thing, but the meaning behind it was completely different.

The old lady really cared about her and considered her.

"It's my grandma, Qingyue has made a note of it."

"Is grandma's health okay? Qingyue is so unfilial that she hasn't come back to see me for so long."

"Don't say that. Grandma knows you have a lot of things to do and won't blame you. I'm in good health, but I'm old and have some minor ailments. It's not a big deal.

"Today I asked the mansion to make your favorite steamed pork ribs, please eat more."

Lin Zhiyuan said at the right time: "Grandma is really partial. Is there anything your grandson wants to eat today?"

"How old are you? You're still fighting with your sister for food. Don't worry, grandma won't let you go without anything. Today we have everything you like and Yun'er likes."

Laughter rang out in the room, and Jiang Qingyue responded with a smile:

"Thank you grandma."

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Jiang Qingyue asked Luhuan to bring up all the gifts she had prepared.

Looking at Lin Yun who was sitting on the side, he said, "Sister Yun, I didn't know you were back today. I missed a gift for you. I hope Sister Yun can forgive me."

Lin Yun pretended to be angry: "Then I won't forgive you. You have to make it up to me next time."

Jiang Qingyue also smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely make it up to you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Lu Huan gave out all the gifts and everyone thanked her.

After sitting for a while, the eldest lady said that she had prepared some things for Lin Yun and asked her to go back and take a look.

Lin Yun is already married and it's rare for her to come back. The mother and daughter had something to talk about, so the old lady didn't stop them.

Let Lin Zhiyuan go with him.

Second Madam Shen knew that the old lady was concerned about her granddaughter and that it was rare for them to meet and have a good chat, so she just said that the two children had to finish school and she had to go and see them, and then she got up and left.

Only the old lady and Jiang Qingyue were left in the room.

The old lady looked at Jiang Qingyue from head to toe, cried for a while, and then spoke:

"Qingyue, tell grandma the truth, are you having a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion?

"Grandmother has heard about the incident at the Marquis' Mansion, and it has spread outside. Your aunts didn't mention it because they were afraid you would be sad. But grandma has to mention it.

“Grandma doesn’t want you to report good news but not bad news. Grandma wants you to live a good life.

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell your grandmother and she will give you some advice. At the very least, you will feel better if you tell her.

"If you hide something from us, who else can you tell? Grandmother doesn't want you to be filled with bitterness. No matter what, you still have the Lin family."

Jiang Qingyue looked at the old lady, tears welling up in her eyes.

It's not a feeling of grievance or unwillingness, but a feeling of being touched by family affection.

She wiped her tears and looked at the old lady:

“Grandma, Qingyue didn’t lie to you.

"I don't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore. I want a divorce."
