Chapter 64 The Old Lady Makes a Fool of Herself While Drunk
After listening to her fourth granddaughter's words, Mrs. Jiang nodded in agreement.

Yes, now outsiders always think that the marriage is between Wenyuan Marquis Mansion and Pei Family, and they don't care about their legitimate family Jiang Family at all. If they leave in a hurry this time, wouldn't it be seen as despised by others? So after looking at Jiang Shiyue, whose face was swollen in front of him, he gave an order.

"Then I will show up in the flower hall. You can take a good rest here. I will send someone to find you when you are ready to go home."

"Don't worry, grandma. Xiaoyue is waiting here and won't dare to leave for a moment."

"Ah."

After saying this, Old Madam Jiang walked out of the wing room. There was a maid from the Marquis's Mansion standing at the door. When she saw her come out, she immediately came forward respectfully. The old lady was not polite and spoke to her.

"Lead the way, I want to go to the flower hall."

"Yes, please, old lady."

After everyone at the door had left, Jiang Shiyue looked outside through the window of the Aquarius branch. Seeing that no one was around, she covered her face with the veil she had just left behind and sneaked out.

She was not stupid. After what happened today, those ladies would certainly look down on her. But if she was asked to give up just like that, she would not be willing to do so. So the best way now was to hide in the dark and secretly see if there was any suitable candidate.
If so, since the second sister can meet the prince in secret and marry into Prince Chun’s mansion, then she can do the same!

With this attitude, she started hiding when she went out.

She didn't know if she was lucky, but she actually met the maids delivering food. She followed them and soon arrived at the flower hall.

There was a rocky garden in front of the flower hall. Not only was it convenient for the Tibetans, but they could also see the situation in the flower hall clearly. Jiang Shiyue hid behind one of the rocks and began to select carefully.

This was the first time she appeared in such an occasion, so she couldn't tell who was who among those ladies, but she had naturally seen the two brothers of the Pei family. And with the status of the Pei family, those who could stand beside them would naturally not be bad, so wherever her eyes went, she was fixed on Pei Zisu and Pei Zimiao.

After drinking three cups of wine, Pei Zisu felt the attention from outside.

Although he was still looking at the people talking in the flower hall, his eyes drifted towards the rugged rocks. Under the sunlight, the gem on Jiang Shiyue's hairpin sparkled a little, and Pei Zisu immediately understood who was hiding behind it!
He leaned close to Jiang Shiyuan's ear and whispered.

"Your fourth sister is hiding outside and watching inside. Are you going to deal with her?"

"Fourth sister?"

She just got hurt on the face, shouldn't she be resting in the wing room? Why did she come here to peek?

He lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Although she felt that Fourth Sister's behavior was embarrassing, if something happened again today, it would probably cause people in Xijing City to ridicule the Jiang family, so she didn't want to say anything more. She looked at Pei Zisu and replied, "Cousin, can you take Fourth Sister back to her room to rest without disturbing others?"

Pei Zisu glanced at Jiang Shiyuan and knew that she didn't want people to criticize the Jiang family anymore, so he nodded in agreement, then got up and went out. Not long after, he came back and nodded slightly to Jiang Shiyuan, and the matter was over.

Poor Jiang Shiyue, before she could figure out what was going on, she felt dizzy and passed out. She was sent back to the room she had just come from, and the room was locked from the outside. So before the end of the meal, even if she wanted to, she couldn't do anything naughty anymore.

The banquet continued in the flower hall.

When Old Madam Jiang appeared, she sat down next to Old Madam Wang without any courtesy. She could naturally feel the embarrassment of being treated coldly, but she could still hold on for the sake of the Jiang family's reputation.

Madam Xiang roughly understood the reason, but today was a birthday party and she didn't want to be laughed at in public, so she politely started talking to Madam Jiang.

Although some of the comments were irrelevant, Madam Xiang was very well-mannered. No matter what the other party said, she would listen quietly and give some responses from time to time. This attitude made Madam Jiang have a good impression of her.

After feeling familiar with each other, I dared to say anything to others even though I was a little drunk.

"Now Anian and Jin'er have found good homes, but their brother still has no one to take care of him. My eldest grandson is a studious person and will soon enter the imperial examination. He will definitely have a bright future. I just wonder if Madam Xiang has any granddaughters at home? I think it would be a good idea to let the children meet each other more often."

What she said was very presumptuous.

The old ladies sitting there all looked over with surprise, thinking that Old Madam Jiang was really arrogant. She kept talking about being a matchmaker for her grandson and the girl from the Xiang family?
Did she know that a girl from the Xiang family could be a prince's consort? How could she possibly marry a boy from the Jiang family who hadn't even passed the imperial examination?
Although Madam Xiang still had a smile on her face, her eyes no longer had the enthusiasm she had just now. She was just about to ask if the man was drunk so that both parties could save face, but she didn't expect that Madam Wang, who had been patient for a long time, would be unhappy. So, without caring about her face, she just retorted.

"Grandpa Xiang is the current Shangshu Ling, and the Xiang family has been a family of integrity for generations. All the men and women in the family are both virtuous and talented. It is not an exaggeration to say that those who come to propose marriage are stepping on the doorstep. Su'er was able to marry the Xiang family's daughter because he passed the imperial examination and got the official title. I just came to the Xiang family to lick my face. Hui'er is still studying in the academy. How dare you say this? Aren't you afraid that outsiders will laugh at the Jiang family for being careless?"

Old Madam Jiang was retorted by her own in-laws, and her face immediately turned ugly, but she also knew that the Jiang family could not be compared with the Xiang family in terms of status and ability. But since even the Pei family's marriage could come to them, the Xiang family couldn't be more powerful than the Pei family, so she took the courage to say something with the help of alcohol.

"Mother-in-law, I'm not looking for your Wenyuan Marquis Mansion to marry you, why are you so unhappy here? Besides, Madam Xiang didn't reject me, why are you so excited? Don't forget, Hui'er is also your grandson!"

Old Madam Wang was so angry that she slammed the wine glass in her hand onto the table.

If it weren't for the two children, she would have given up on this marriage a long time ago. What a crappy in-law, asking for it without considering the occasion, are they trying to make a fool of themselves by doing so?
Especially, the wife of Geng, the doctor of the Censorate, was also sitting at this table.

The second daughter of the Geng family is in her prime and will be coming of age in half a year. Old Lady Wang has met her several times and always thought she was good-looking, gentle and decisive. She had planned to visit her in person and talk to her after her grandson had achieved success.

Although the Geng family is not as powerful as the Xiang family, they are not weak either.

If the two children really liked each other, it would be a marriage of high status for her grandson. However, she didn't expect that such a plan would be ruined by Madam Jiang's mouth. After seeing that Madam Geng from the Censorate had an expression that was not right, Madam Wang became more angry and pretended to have someone help Madam Jiang away.
