Chapter 33 The Third Young Master Arrives but is Rejected
The curtain was lifted, and the first people to enter were Crown Prince Song Si-ye and Crown Princess Kang Si-geun.

The couple were newly married and were dressed very formally today. They both wore yellow glazed brocade dresses, which made them look very close to each other. Following behind them was the original protagonist of the day, the third son of the royal family, Song Shizhui.

He was four or five points similar to the prince, so he was also a handsome man, but there was a bit of fake scholarly air between his brows. Jiang Huaishan had seen countless people, and his face became a little gloomy when he saw him.

"I have seen the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and the Third Young Master."

In terms of official rank, the Jiang family is ministers, and the Prince Chun's Mansion is the royal family, so it is natural that it should be so. However, Prince Chun's son Song Shi also gave them a false compliment and spoke first with a smile.

"I am here today as a junior to congratulate Uncle Jiang. Please don't be polite."

After these words were spoken, Madam Jiang and Second Aunt Zhang could no longer suppress their smiles. Unfortunately, beneath such a hypocritical face was a heart of indifference and ungratefulness. Jiang Shiyuan had already experienced this in his previous life.

Jiang Huaishan was still relatively calm, but the other members of the Jiang family had their own thoughts.

Old Madam Jiang was truly satisfied with the marriage of Prince Chun and she was genuinely happy to see the two of them standing together. Second Aunt Zhang's chest was also rising and falling, her joy evident, and she immediately stepped forward and said proudly.

"Sir, you are just being polite. It is an infinite honor for our Jiang family to have you come to our house. We should treat you with respect."

"Every time I come back with my wife, my mother-in-law always says this. If you continue to be so polite to me, I won't dare to come again."

These words gave enough face to the people of the second house. The arrogance in the eyes and eyebrows of Second Aunt Zhang was about to jump out. Jiang Shijin stood beside the prince. After looking around at everyone, she looked shy and gentle. When she looked at Prince Chun again, the slight surprise in her eyes turned into warmth.

"Your Highness is right. Today we are just the younger generation coming home for a reunion dinner, so let's not talk about those empty formalities. By the way, why is only my second brother at home? Where are the other sisters?"

She was very straightforward and got straight to the point.

Unfortunately, Second Aunt Zhang's face froze for a moment, and then she made an excuse.

"Your elder sister has also returned from the Marquis Wenyuan's residence. She was originally going to have dinner with us, but she is not in good health, as you know. She became out of breath after just sitting and talking for a few words. I am afraid that something has happened to her, so I asked your two younger sisters to accompany her back to see the doctor first, and then we can talk."

Jiang Shijin was a little surprised. Why did he come back?
She deliberately chose the day when her elder sister was not at home to bring the prince back to visit, but she didn't expect that they almost ran into each other. Fortunately, she had a health problem, otherwise wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
His expression looked a little ugly, but he quickly adjusted himself and said to the Crown Prince and the Third Young Master Song Shizhui with a smile.

"It seems like a bad coincidence. Originally, I was told that I could meet my family."

When Prince Chun saw the apologetic look from his wife Jiang Shijin, he felt very happy and thought that it was a good thing that he did not listen to his mother and marry the sickly girl from the first wife. Otherwise, wouldn't it ruin the fortune of the prince's mansion if he married someone who could not even sit and speak a few words without getting out of breath and needing to see a doctor?
Thinking of this, he waved his hand nonchalantly and said.

"No problem, there are plenty of opportunities. I'm visiting you today, and my son-in-law has brought his third brother with him, so let him join in the fun."

Hearing that he was being introduced, the third young master Song Shizhui walked out from beside the two of them, pretending to be respectful and polite, and clasped his fists towards Old Madam Jiang and said.

"I've met the old lady."

"Don't be polite, Third Young Master. You are a distinguished guest and we haven't had enough time to welcome you. Please don't look down on you." Song Shizhui smiled and said nothing. However, after his eyes lingered around the two concubines for a few seconds, he couldn't move them away.

Aunt Hai was beautiful and Aunt Yang was gentle. Although both of them were mothers of children, in Song Shizhui's eyes, they still had some charm and allure. His penetrating eyes made the two concubines very uncomfortable and their cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

He was unaware of it, and felt that she was so charming that his eyes began to wander.

Seeing such a good character, Jiang Huaishan knew what a piece of trash this Third Young Master Song was without even verifying it. So the respect in his eyes disappeared and he gave orders in a cold voice.

"Yang, Hai, go down and prepare the food."

"Yes, my lord."

The two of them got the chance to escape from this place, so they naturally walked faster than anyone else, and it even seemed like they were fleeing in desperation. Song Shizhui looked at their panic as they left and even smiled playfully, with some playfulness in his eyes that was hard to understand.

Perhaps it was because his eyes were too straightforward, and Old Madam Jiang also noticed it.

His heart skipped a beat and he immediately believed what his eldest granddaughter Jiang Shiyuan said about 70%. It seemed that this marriage really could not take place. Apart from anything else, it would ruin his grandson's future. So after calming down, he took a step back, keeping a certain distance from the two brothers of Prince Chun, coughed a few times, and then spoke in a flattering tone.

"Please move to the waterside pavilion, my lord. I will be the one to accompany you at the banquet today."

Song Shiye still had a smile on his face, but the feeling of warmth from the sun was gone.

Everyone in the Jiang family should know exactly why they came to see her. They should send the sick eldest girl back, and then let the other girls in the mansion come out to meet her. But what does this mean?
So they came here in a hurry, but they came to the wrong place?

In an instant, her expression paled, and it was obvious that he was a little uneasy. Madam Jiang looked over with her head held high. She was afraid, but her grandson's future was more important. However, Second Aunt Zhang at the side wanted to step forward and cover her mother-in-law's mouth. By saying this, wasn't she just trying to slap her own daughter in the face?
She stared at Old Madam Jiang with dissatisfaction in her eyes, and even Jiang Shijin beside her felt a bit more resentful. Her grandmother had always loved her very much, so why did she suddenly go back on her word when she had clearly agreed on something?

As for Jiang Shilin, he felt a little uneasy.

He was born out of wedlock and lived a mediocre life at home. If this incident caused rumors outside, what would happen to his fourth sister's future?
While I was timid, I heard my second aunt Zhang speak up to smooth things over, but there was a hint of instigation in her tone.

"Haha, mother-in-law, you are joking. The prince and the third son are here, so why should the family avoid them? The eldest daughter is sick and weak, but the third and fourth daughters are fine, aren't they? Wait until the eldest daughter finishes seeing the doctor and ask someone to call them over. It's just a simple meal for the family, and naturally no one will say anything."

Jiang Huaishan originally felt that this matter was inappropriate, and when he heard his second brother's wife's unwilling tone, he immediately stood up and spoke to Prince Chun.

"Please move aside, my Lord. Mother, Lin'er and I will stay with you."

Neither Zhang nor other female members of the family were included in his words. Song Shi also glanced at the determined Jiang Huaishan. Although he didn't know what had happened in the mansion, he was angry but would not vent it at this moment. He smiled as warmly as before and left.

Song Shizhui and Jiang Shilin followed immediately, but they were not of the same kind, so naturally they had nothing to say to each other.
