Chapter 69: Arrangements for the Second House's Future
"What do you mean?"

"After she was slapped yesterday, she sneaked out of the flower hall."

Jiang Huaishan was shocked. He didn't have much impression of this youngest niece before. He just thought she was playful. But he didn't expect that after experiencing such a thing, she would still be able to run outside the flower hall with such a mind. Jiang Huaishan knew what her intention was!
"Who discovered it?"

"Cousin Pei, but no one else knows about it. My daughter asked him to send the person back to the wing room."

After hearing this, Jiang Huaishan breathed a sigh of relief.

They are a family that is closely connected. If one of them makes a noise, the others will not be able to escape and will be in trouble. Especially since Jiang Shiyue had been slapped by Princess Qinghuan before, if she showed up again, Jiang Huaishan didn't even dare to imagine how furious the princess would be.

"You did the right thing. It's better not to alert the enemy. But what has the Second Branch been doing all these years? Are you going to drag everyone in the Jiang family into this?"

He had just been promoted to the position of Zongzheng, and others were jealous of him.

Accidents keep happening at home, which gives those people outside who have ulterior motives enough evidence to use as evidence. If the affairs at home cannot be handled properly, how can people be convinced when dealing with the affairs outside?
When you have a worried look on your face, you'll be in trouble one after another.

Seeing his father like this, Jiang Shiyuan felt that he was somewhat wronged. It was obviously for the good of his deceased second uncle that he brought the second branch of the family into the house, but he didn't expect that they would raise such a bunch of people. This would not be a good thing for anyone.

So he started to speak comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Daddy. Second brother and fourth sister must not stay with Second Aunt anymore. Otherwise, our family will not only have quarrels between brothers, but also the affection between sisters will be wiped out. So my daughter's idea is to either arrange a suitable marriage for Fourth Sister so that she can feel at ease, or buy a house for Second Aunt and we can separate the family."

When Jiang Shiyuan said this, his eyes were serious.

Although it would cause some bad reputation, after all, grandmother is still alive, so it would be reasonable for her to come forward on this matter. Besides, second uncle has passed away for many years, and it is not appropriate to always live under the same roof with eldest uncle who has lost his wife. That is why Jiang Shiyuan made such a suggestion.

"You don't have to choose between the two. Just do both. As for the house purchase, I'll talk to your grandmother first. What she cares about most is your eldest brother's future. If I use this as an excuse, I estimate that it won't be long before your grandmother makes some arrangements. Also, has your fourth sister's marriage been decided?"

"My daughter has seen her behavior these days, and she undoubtedly thinks that my second sister married well, and she also wants to learn from her. However, my second sister's marriage is just a matter of chance, and this kind of thing can only be encountered by chance, so it is impossible for her to marry into such a wealthy family. However, she is smart, and although she does things a little improperly, I believe that she will change as she grows older. Therefore, my daughter thinks that if she can find a wealthy family with decent people, it may be more suitable."

Jiang Huaishan also agreed with Jiang Shiyuan's idea.

But their family had always been on the official road, so the rich family was not very clear about it. It was Jiang Shiyuan who pointed it out.

"Dad, have you forgotten what your uncle does?"

When Jiang Huaishan heard this sentence suddenly, he slapped his head as if he suddenly realized something, and then laughed out loud.

"Blame me, blame me. I've been so busy these days that I'm a little confused. Your uncle is a well-known wealthy family in Jingzhou City. If they were to find a way, it would be much easier than it is for us."

"The most important thing is that my aunt and uncle are people of noble character. They must be looking for someone to help my fourth sister, so this matter will definitely be accomplished."

"Okay, I'll write a letter right away and ask your aunt and uncle to come north. Your wedding is coming soon, so they have a legitimate reason to come!"

The father and daughter had almost finished their discussion, so Jiang Huaishan hurried back to write a letter. Jiang Shiyuan thought about it and then said to Liuhua.

"Send someone to tell Aunt Hai that I have something to invite her to come over. If my second brother and fourth sister are here, they can come together."

"Yes, girl."

Not long after Liuhua left, the three people from Aunt Hai's room all came to the door of Tingshixuan and waited. Jiang Shiyue was also very nervous at the moment. After all, that incident happened yesterday, and she was also afraid that her elder sister was going to cause trouble. She pressed her veil and stood there a little uneasy. Lu Luo came out from inside, bowed to the three people, and said.

"Aunt Hai, Second Brother, Fourth Miss, please come in."

The three of them were either guilty or nervous, and in the end Lu Luo had to force them into the house, and that was the end of it.

Entering Jiang Shiyuan's room, the three of them felt as comfortable as if they were holding a piece of ice. The furnishings here were all treasures that they couldn't even name, not to mention the eldest girl Jiang Shiyuan who was sitting in front of them, her whole body exuded the aura of a banished immortal, making people dare not blaspheme.

Although Aunt Hai was timid, she still knew the rules. She walked up to Jiang Shiyuan, bowed and said.

"This servant has met the young lady."

Then Jiang Shiyue and Jiang Shilin also stepped forward and said the same thing.

"Meet big sister."

Jiang Shiyuan smiled gently and generously, and when he saw this, he raised his hand and replied.

"You are so polite, Aunt Hai. Please take a seat."

Afterwards, Liuhua served tea and snacks. The styles were all things Aunt Hai had never seen before, so she was cautious and a little reserved, as if she was waiting for the judgment of a superior.

Jiang Shiyuan watched coldly, and found that his second brother's behavior was exactly the same as Aunt Hai's. No wonder his father said that. But the fourth sister was obviously much smarter. After entering the room, her eyes were evasive. Jiang Shiyuan knew that she was a little scared.

So he decided to leave her alone for the time being and spoke to Jiang Shilin first.

"Second brother, I haven't seen you much these days since I came back. Have you adapted to the new environment after moving to the front yard?"

"Ah? Adapt to it."

It was obvious that Jiang Shilin did not expect that the elder sister would speak to him first, so he quickly replied. However, the uncertainty in his tone made it clear that he was feeling guilty. Therefore, Aunt Hai, who was sitting next to him, was also worried that her son's clumsy behavior would upset the elder girl, so she gritted her teeth and said something on behalf of her son.

"Don't blame me, young lady. My second brother has become a little timid because of the servants who raised him, but he is a good person. He has always known the kindness of the master and is grateful for it. It's just that he is not good at speaking clearly."

After saying this, Aunt Hai broke out in a cold sweat.

It was obviously not hot in the room, but she felt very oppressive. Jiang Shiyuan saw her sweat beads, so he gave Liuhua a wink, and she came forward with a handkerchief.

There was no look of contempt in her eyes. Although Aunt Hai was surprised, she still took it silently. After wiping the sweat off her face, she did not forget to make excuses for herself.

"Don't blame me, young lady. I have been feeling a little weak these days, so I am like this."

"Aunt Hai, you're overthinking. My room is much colder than outside. It's natural that you're not used to it for the first time. Why should I blame you? But I did have something to discuss with you today. Aunt Hai, please help me make a decision and see if it can be done."

Aunt Hai and Jiang Shilin were both a little surprised.

They have lived in this courtyard for so many years, and have never heard anyone want to discuss things with them. They have always been given orders, so there was a hint of uneasiness in the eyes of the mother and son when they looked at Jiang Shiyuan.
