Chapter 127: The Aunt and the Nephew Fight with Words
The He family's opportunity to meet the emperor was not big news for other wealthy families, so it was naturally not worth discussing. However, it was different for the Jiang family.

Old Madam Jiang was very anxious. Her son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter and grandson could see His Majesty, but she was the only one who could not.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. So many people were going to the palace, and it didn't seem like too many to take her with him, so she tentatively mentioned it to Jiang Huaiyi.

Jiang Huaiyi's mind was full of how to make good use of this opportunity to build momentum for the He family. How could she let her mother ruin it? However, she was not so stupid as to say it bluntly, so she mentioned it in a roundabout way.

"Mother, you are overthinking it. The palace servant who delivered the message said that the He family should go and reply. I am still relying on my husband's help. If mother wants to enter the palace, I am afraid she should ask my brother whether he can take mother with him given his rank."

"Humph, why bother asking your eldest brother? I'm afraid he'll fight back as soon as I open my mouth. I don't understand why you all have a promising future and forget that you crawled out of my belly? You're all ungrateful! You don't take me seriously at all!"

Madam Jiang said angrily.

She had no intention of entering the palace at first, but she was naturally dissatisfied because someone in her family could go there again and again while she couldn't go. The same went for Jiang Shiyue next to her.

However, with her grandmother taking the lead, she was happy to hide behind and reap the benefits.

"What are you talking about, mother? If we didn't take you seriously, why would we respect you so much? If my brother had left you in Xuzhou to be taken care of by Zhang when he went to the capital, wouldn't it have been the same? Who could say no to him? But he still brought you here. After all, we have come to this point. Think carefully. Is there anything that my brother has done to you that he has not done to you?"

These words made Old Madam Jiang feel embarrassed and she muttered something quickly.

"I didn't say anything..."

"As for me, I am a daughter who married far away, and I have not served you well in these years. But since I came to Xijing City, there has been a day when I have not stayed in your yard until dark before going back. I also sent you many gifts in various ways, just to make up for it. But mother still said that we did not take you seriously, so I feel a little wronged."

Jiang Huaiyi has been in business for many years and has encountered all kinds of difficult customers and rivals.

In her eyes, her mother's tricks were nothing, so just a few words from her not only vented Madam Jiang's anger, but also made her feel more guilty. She handed over the handkerchief with an evasive look and said.

"Don't cry, I just said it casually. Don't you know what kind of personality I have? I'm just harsh in words, but in reality I just want you to be well, right? Only when you are well can the Jiang family be well, right?"

Jiang Huaiyi cried "sadly", but in her heart she felt relieved that she had her mother under control. She would have to wait until Huier got a new wife to teach her mother how to use this method, so that the family could have peace.

Seeing his grandmother throw away her weapons and armor, Jiang Shiyue was unwilling to accept this.

Then he brought the tea forward, handed it to the two of them, pretended to be well-behaved and obedient, and said something with a smile.

"Aunt and Third Sister are so lucky. If I could have half of what you have, I would wake up laughing in my dreams at night. Aunt, cousin Yuankang will also go with you this time. If he shows up in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid the marriage with the Feng family will most likely be successful."

Everyone loves nice words, and Jiang Huaiyi is no exception. Especially when it comes to his own son, so he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and then said with emotion.

"Of course I hope this can be accomplished, but in the end it still depends on fate."

"Cousin Yuankang is handsome and capable. I'm sure he will be a good son-in-law in the eyes of the Feng family. Don't worry, aunt. You will definitely be able to enjoy this cup of daughter-in-law tea. When cousin Yuankang gets married, the family should prepare for the eldest brother and the third sister. They are also very blessed and will definitely find a good family to match them."

Although the words were spoken joyfully, there was a hint of self-pity in the tone.

Everyone was mentioned except herself and her second brother. When these words fell into the ears of Old Lady Jiang, they had other meanings. After taking care of her for these days, she was still very satisfied with her granddaughter Jiang Shiyue, so she took her hand and comforted her.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue. Grandmother is also concerned about your and Lin'er's marriage. Didn't she ask your aunt to find one or two in Jingzhou City last time? Why didn't she mention it when you came this time? Is it inappropriate?"

What a good trick of pretending to be good and pitiful. Jiang Huaiyi glanced at Jiang Shiyue and his dislike for her increased.

"It's not quite suitable. People with good character are too old, and young people can't settle down and have a bad reputation. So I have been looking for a long time but couldn't find someone who matches Xiaoyue. But Lin'er's job is promising. One of the caravans in the family is short of manpower. The leader is a master who has traveled all over the country for many years and has enough experience. If Lin'er goes out with him for a few years, his temperament and knowledge will surely improve a lot. If the business in Xijing City picks up by then, I will let him come back to manage the shop. I can't say that he will be rich, but it will be no problem for him to marry and have children. What do you think, mother?"

"Let Lin'er run around with him, can he do it?"

Jiang Shilin's grandson is not as good as the eldest grandson that Old Madam Jiang loves so much, but she would not ignore his life or death. If he really went out into the wind and sun, she would still feel a little distressed, so she asked this question.

"Why not? When I was young, I followed Yuankang's father to many places. These days, I have seen that although Lin'er is a bit soft-tempered, he has good intentions. With more tempering, he will become a steady and down-to-earth person in the future! I will feel relieved when I hand over the shop to him. When he gets married, I will give it to him as a gift. It is also a little thought from me as an aunt, mother."

Jiang Huaiyi painted a beautiful picture of the future, which made Old Madam Jiang feel that there was really some hope for this matter, so she nodded and agreed.

Jiang Shiyue didn't expect that her aunt had made all the arrangements for her second brother except for herself. She was very angry, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into "touched", so she knelt down and said to her aunt.

"It is a blessing for my second brother to be taken care of by my aunt. I will pray sincerely in the future, hoping that the gods will bless my aunt and grandmother with health, longevity, peace and happiness."

After hearing her words, Old Madam Jiang smiled and praised.

"Xiaoyue has really grown up. It's okay. If we can't find a suitable candidate in Jingzhou, we can look at Xijing City. You are still young anyway. You will find a suitable family slowly. Just stay out of the limelight for the next two years."

Jiang Huaiyi raised his eyebrows slightly and took a second look at the abilities of his fourth niece.

What a pity! If such a delicate mind was put into practice, it would be of great benefit!
