The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

As soon as Jiang Lingyi said this, Zhou Zigu immediately put down his chopsticks.

He quickly explained: "Don't worry, big brother. I will take good care of my wife when I get back and will not let her lose even a bit of weight."

Jiang Wushang on the side choked: "Now there are two more people in the mansion. If the Marquis can't support them, you can just send my sister back. We, the Zhenguo Duke, can afford to support her."

The Duke's wife tried to smooth things over: "Okay, let's eat well."

After a pause, the Duke's wife looked at Jiang Wanqing again and said, "Someone just sent an invitation. The Queen is hosting a banquet. The Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion should also receive the invitation. See you at the banquet then."

Jiang Wanqing asked in confusion: "What kind of banquet is being held in these days?"

The Duke's wife explained, "Do you still remember the princess from Beimo? This time, it seems that the purpose of the celebration is to select a husband for the princess."

Jiang Wanqing was surprised: "The princess's husband has been decided? Why haven't I heard about it?"

She remembered that the princess had been here for a long time.

However... I didn't expect that I haven't found a husband until now.

The Duke's wife smiled and shook her head: "Not yet. I heard that they will choose from among the princes, or from among several princes and marquises who have never married. It also depends on the princess's own wishes."

Jiang Wanqing nodded: "I don't know who will win in the end."

Zhou Zigu, who was standing aside, seemed to be thinking about something.

After lunch, Jiang Wushang hurriedly pulled Jiang Wanqing aside.

Jiang Wanqing looked confused: "What is Third Brother doing?"

Jiang Wushang lowered his voice: "I am ready to leave now... But I don't plan to tell my parents. You know, if they knew, they would definitely not let me go. After all, I was away for many years before, and I am afraid of the sentimentality of parting.

But don't worry, I've told my eldest brother, and he will tell my father and parents for me."

After hearing this, Jiang Wanqing asked directly, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Wushang hesitated for a moment: "My eldest brother is taking care of me at home, so I am not worried. However, I am worried about Zong Zheng Wuyou... If he encounters any trouble in the future, can I ask my little sister to take care of him for me?"

Jiang Wanqing raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that before her third brother left, he still couldn't let go of his chess friend.

Without hesitation, he said yes.

Jiang Wushang breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the Duke's wife not far away.

Then he sighed and said, "In that case, I will leave."

Jiang Wushang left without looking back.

When Jiang Wanqing returned to her seat, the Duke's wife seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. She looked in the direction where Jiang Wushang had left and said, "Why did your third brother leave right after eating?"

Jiang Wanqing covered up: "Third brother said that he suddenly thought of a way to crack a chess game, so he hurried back."

When she heard about chess, the Duke's wife frowned and shook her head, saying, "You've been stuck on the chessboard all day, and can't leave. I can't trust any of you, my brothers."

Jiang Wanqing took a step forward and calmed down the Duke's wife, "Okay, mother, Third Brother is much better than those dandy boys. It's good enough for a person to live happily without causing trouble to the family.

Just like Xiaoxiao, would I expect her to have all kinds of talents, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Would I make her a model of a noble lady in the capital? This is not what I want.

All I have always hoped for is that Xiaoxiao can live happily under my protection. She doesn't need to be outstanding, as long as she is honest and kind, in my eyes, she is already the best. "

After saying that, Jiang Wanqing glanced at Xiaoxiao who was being held by Nanny Su not far away.

This is also what she wanted to say to Xiaoxiao.

When he looked back, his gaze happened to meet Xiaoxiao's.

Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes and looked at Jiang Wanqing.

After being enlightened by Jiang Wanqing, the Duke's wife finally understood.

He sighed and said, "That's true. As long as the children live well, isn't that enough? As parents, we just want our children to live happily. Why should we put shackles on them?"

Jiang Wanqing and Zhou Zigu didn't sit for long. After a while, they said goodbye.

On the carriage, Zhou Zigu breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought that my mother-in-law and the others would not forgive me so easily. Thanks to Madam for speaking well for me."

Jiang Wanqing smiled and said, "You and I are a family after all, aren't we? A family should support and understand each other."

Zhou Zigu was also touched: "The best thing I have ever done in my life is to marry you."

Although the two of them seemed to be in harmony on the surface, they actually had eight hundred schemes in their minds.

When they returned to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion, they were told that the old lady was waiting in the front hall.

Zhou Zigu Jiang Wanqing looked at each other and went straight to the front hall.

The two of them bowed to Old Madam Zhou.

As soon as Zhou Zigu appeared, Old Madam Zhou hurriedly took a few steps forward, came in front of Zhou Zigu, and took a look at him.

He asked with concern: "Are your legs and feet feeling well?"

Zhou Zigu shook his head: "I'm fine, mother."

The next second, Madam Zhou looked at Jiang Wanqing with displeasure.

He scolded: "You knew that Zi Gu's legs were not fully recovered yet, so why did you force Zi Gu to go to the Zhenguo Mansion with you?"

Jiang Wanqing frowned and said nothing.

It was Zhou Zigu who spoke up again: "Mother, this time, I took the initiative to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with my wife. I have been back for so long, and it is time for me to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

When Old Madam Zhou heard Zhou Zigu say this, she didn't know what to say.

The next second, he handed the invitation in his hand to Zhou Zigu: "This is an invitation from the palace, saying that you will be attending a palace banquet tomorrow. This time, you will go with Jiang."

Old Madam Zhou has never liked such occasions.

Now that Zhou Zigu is at home all day, she doesn't dare to make an appointment with that man.

If I could get them all away, I wouldn't be afraid of these things.

Zhou Zigu looked at the post in his hand and then looked at Jiang Wanqing.

Suddenly I thought of the post that the Duke’s wife mentioned earlier.

At that moment, Zhou Zigu responded with a "OK".

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.

At this time, Song Nansheng, who was behind Old Madam Zhou, took a few steps forward.

Looking at Zhou Zigu, with a look of expectation: "Brother Zigu, can I also attend this palace banquet? From childhood to adulthood, I have never been to the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them looked at Song Nansheng, their eyes filled with complicated expressions.

Generally, to such palace banquets, people would only bring their wives, and concubines were rarely brought along.
