Chapter 45: The whole family is happy, but the second room secretly resents (Additional update)

Old Lady Wang saw that although Madam Pei was calm but not fussy, she felt more relieved about her being the mother-in-law of her granddaughter, and turned to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Pei, and said.

"Okay, in that case, you can go to the Jiang family and tell them about this. And remind Jiang Huaishan that this time, I, the Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion, will accompany Anian's marriage throughout the whole process. If there is any problem again, let him go and talk to Chuan Niang himself."

Chuan Niang was Jiang Shiyuan’s mother who had passed away ten years ago.

Mentioning her at this moment also shows that Old Lady Wang has some resentment in her heart. The last time the marriage with Prince Chun's Mansion failed, it was the second daughter of the Jiang family who interfered. If there is a problem again this time, Old Lady Wang will not care about the relationship between the two. She will make sure that everyone in the Jiang family knows how powerful her Wenyuan Marquis Mansion is!

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. This time, your daughter-in-law will definitely take care of this matter personally, and there will be no mistakes again!"

Madam Pei's words were so powerful that those present understood them all. Even those who didn't, like the Pei siblings, became curious. They looked at each other and decided to go and find out more.

The Marquis' Mansion had a very good plan. After arranging the three members of the Pei family, Madam Pei went out. This time she went alone. The other children wanted to go with her, but they were rejected.

But when she arrived, the people of the Jiang family were all sitting in the Tai'an Courtyard, listening to the old lady's questions.

"In the final analysis, it is the eldest girl who is more resourceful. How many people have never even seen the true face of Princess Qinghuan in their entire lives? You are really amazing and were able to send the unknown third girl to prison. But don't blame Second Aunt for being talkative. We are all sisters and brothers from the same family. If you have this intention, you should at least protect the other people in the family."

Jiang Shiyuan was drinking the tea in his hand. When he heard what his second aunt said, he didn't even raise his eyebrows. However, her words reached the ears of Old Madam Jiang, so she hurriedly added a sentence.

"Your second aunt is right. It is always good for family members to help each other. There are other brothers and sisters in the family. If An Nianruo has other options, please arrange them as well."

After hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Grandmother, the fact that my third sister came to the princess's mansion to embroider a gift was purely coincidental. It was Nanny Shen who was beside the princess who happened to see the handkerchief in my granddaughter's hand and thought her embroidery was good, so I recommended her to her. It was also because my third sister practiced embroidery diligently. I just mentioned it in line with Nanny Shen's intention. I really didn't do much."

She didn't want to take all the benefits of this matter, so she spoke like this. However, Second Aunt Zhang had been unhappy about this matter for a long time. It took her a lot of effort to hold it in until today. How could she give up after hearing what Jiang Shiyuan said? So she opened her mouth and replied.

"Look, they are not close to each other even though they are separated by one family. The eldest girl only thinks about the third girl, but the other brothers and sisters in our house have no affinity with her. Mother-in-law, forget it. After all, the eldest girl was raised in the Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion, so she is somewhat separated from our Jiang family."

When Liuhua and Luoluo heard this, their faces turned unhappy. Every time they came to see Old Madam Jiang, the Second Madam would always say some unpleasant words in a sarcastic tone, which made them say a lot of things and made a lot of mistakes, which was very annoying.

Jiang Shiyuan also heard it. He didn't bother with Second Aunt in the past because it was troublesome, but today she was feeling unwell, so he asked casually.

"What's wrong with Second Aunt today? She keeps asking for a room separate from ours. When the Crown Prince's Consort was looking for a family for Fourth Sister, I didn't say anything like that. If that's the case, then what does the Crown Prince's Consort mean?"

"you!"

Second Madam Zhang was at a loss for words all of a sudden. She wanted to come up with something to explain, but none of her words seemed to hold water. Especially when she was extremely angry, she saw Jiang Shiyuan sitting opposite her, still as calm as a chrysanthemum, which made her even more upset.

"Okay, okay, we are all family, why are you saying this?"

Madam Jiang didn't want to favor her second daughter-in-law, but she didn't want to get close to her eldest granddaughter, so she spoke out to stop him. Just as she was about to continue, she saw someone coming in. "Madam, the wife of Marquis Wenyuan's mansion is here. She said she has something to discuss with you."

Glancing at her eldest granddaughter who remained calm, Madam Jiang showed some doubt on her face. The scene of the last time the marquis's wife came to her house and cursed was still vivid in her mind. What was she going to do this time?
When Second Aunt Zhang heard that Madam Pei was coming, her face did not look very good either.

In terms of status, there was a huge difference between her and the marquis' wife, and this lady could scold her without giving her any chance to fight back, so she was somewhat frightened when she heard the news that she was coming.

Although they were worried, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and decided to invite the guest in. Compared to their own discomfort, Jiang Shiyuan seemed to know the purpose of her aunt's visit today. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and her mood became much better.

Although Pei came alone, she was still as pompous as a marquis's wife.

Following behind him were a dozen maids and servants, and he walked with great vigor all the way. Even when he entered the old lady's yard, he did not behave politely just because he was a guest.

"Madam Hou, please."

Mother Du lifted the curtain to let Pei in, and the first person she saw was her niece Jiang Shiyuan. Seeing her standing there and smiling at her faintly, her originally pretentious expression softened a lot in an instant.

But before she could open her mouth, Old Madam Jiang stepped forward and said something.

"What brings Madam Hou here? Is there something important that brings you here today?"

The expression on the Marquis' wife's face was still there. She was naturally unhappy about being interrupted suddenly, especially after she glanced at her second aunt Zhang. So her tone became a little tougher and she spoke to Old Madam Jiang.

"Hello, old lady. I came here today because I have something important to tell you. My mother-in-law has been very angry recently, so I won't come here in person this time. The Jiang family is not very interested in Ah Nian's marriage, so the Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion has specially searched for one. Now it has been almost settled. I will come to your house tomorrow. At that time, I hope that old lady Jiang will restrain everyone and don't let Ah Nian's future husband's family see anything that they shouldn't see."

"Engagement? Tomorrow? Madam Hou is not kidding, right?"

Second Aunt interrupted, her eyes full of disbelief, but the Marquis's wife didn't even glance at her and spoke coldly.

"It's time to teach the rules of your house. I'm talking to the old lady, how dare anyone butt in?"

Pei didn't give Zhang any face at all, but although she was angry, she didn't dare to really open her mouth to scold her, for fear of causing trouble.

Old Madam Jiang felt a little uncomfortable seeing her second daughter-in-law being scolded like that, but compared to this, she was more surprised by the news brought by the Marquis's wife, so she asked with a serious face.

"How come Anian's marriage was decided so suddenly? We only found out about it now. I wonder which family it was decided to be with?"

"A Nian is young, and she doesn't have an intimate elder to take care of her. Many people with bad intentions have thrown countless dirty water on her behind her back, and we are too lazy to explain one by one. It just so happens that my nephew came to Xijing City to celebrate my birthday with me. He looks good, so I decided to choose him."

Madam Pei of the Marquisate made light of it, as she had suffered a great loss last time. She had praised the prince to great heights, but in the end, his property was stolen away by someone from the second house. So this time, even though her nephew had extraordinary abilities, she just mentioned it casually.
