Chapter 76: The Second Lady Threatens Hai

When Aunt Hai arrived at Jinfangyuan, she was as tense as a bow.

There was never any good news when the Second Madam came to see her. She was in a panic, thinking that the fact that the mother and her two sons had been to Tingshixuan in the morning must have been discovered, so she was shaking violently. As soon as she entered the inner room, before the Second Madam could even open her mouth, she suddenly felt weak in the legs.

Mother Qi behind him gave a reminder.

"Aunt Hai, the Second Madam is waiting, let's go quickly."

She took a deep breath and walked forward with her head held high. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty, but she actually saw the Second Madam greeting her with a smile. Suddenly, she no longer felt happy, but only fear.

"This servant has met the Second Madam."

"Sister Hai is here? Come and sit down. Mother Qi will serve tea."

This was an honor she had never had before, so Aunt Hai, who was already frightened, immediately knelt on the ground and told him everything that had been said in Tingxuan today.

Zhang didn't expect that the young lady would stretch her hands so far just because she was away from home. Not only did she take care of the girl in the backyard, but she also arranged tasks for the men in the front yard. Her face immediately became uneasy.

No matter what, she is the head of the second house.

It was wrong no matter how you looked at it to find a future for these two little rascals without her permission. But when she thought that this matter could be used to control Aunt Hai, she did not start cursing immediately, but spoke calmly instead.

"Today when I went to visit the Crown Prince's Consort, I happened to meet the Third Young Master. He said he was very interested in the Fourth Young Master. I had originally planned to take her out to see him in three days, but now you are rejecting him for a wealthy family that has no trace of him. I can't say this. Since you are the Fourth Young Master's biological mother, you should go and talk to him for your daughter's sake."

Aunt Hai was shocked. She never expected the Second Madam to speak like that.

"My servant...how could I say that?"

"You can't tell? Then send the fourth girl to tell him in person."

"No, no, no, the fourth young lady still has a wound on her face. She can't show it to anyone. Second Madam, it's really the eldest young lady who wants to help us. The fourth young lady and the second brother both have a bright future, which is also a happy event for our second house. Please be magnanimous and let them go. If you have any problem, just come to me."

Her words made Second Aunt Zhang have countless thoughts before she even opened her mouth.

"At you? That's what you said."

Aunt Hai closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She knew she couldn't escape today, so she simply stopped struggling and waited for Mother Qi to come and clean her up.

Unexpectedly, no one came for a long time. When I opened my eyes and looked over, I saw the second lady's face with a treacherous expression. She then raised the handkerchief in her hand and said.

"You decided Xiaoyue's future without consulting me. You brought this matter to my mother-in-law. I want to be in the right, but you cry every day and kneel every night, which makes me very upset. People who don't know will think that I treat you and your two children harshly. Let's do this. I will take you out in three days and explain the reason to the third master. If you can convince him to give up Xiaoyue, then I will not interfere. If you can't convince him, then you and your daughter can handle it on your own."

Aunt Hai looked embarrassed, but it was not easy for the eldest girl to let go and help them this time. If she really refused, it would be impossible to get it again in the future. In a panic, she had no idea what to do and could only obey, responding aggrievedly.

"Your servant... Your servant will go."

Hearing her agree, Second Madam Zhang and Mother Qi looked at each other, both excited.

When the time comes to send people to the private residence of the Third Young Master, what happens will not be something she can "control". Thinking of this, she felt that God really helped her, so she didn't care about the position of the North Gate Office or the rich family in Jingzhou. A courtyard away, Jiang Shiyue in Yueying Pavilion didn't know what happened in Jinfang Courtyard at all. She just took the wound medicine and applied it on the wound again and again. The coolness was very comfortable.

Lying flat on the bed, my mind was filled with the thought of my aunt going north.

She was also very curious about what kind of husband her aunt and uncle would choose for her.
It would be better if he could be taller and more powerful, more handsome, and have more money to love her. As she thought about it, she suddenly laughed, with a bit of shyness of a girl in the boudoir. At that time, she didn't know that fate would treat her so badly in the future, so her heart and eyes were full of joy.

On the other hand, Jiang Shiyuan told his father Jiang Huaishan the responses of the two people. He was not idle either. He immediately asked someone to inquire about the matter of Weiwei Temple, and the result was soon revealed.

There is indeed a vacancy at the North Gate Office.

If they wanted to arrange a position with an official position, it would probably cost a lot of money, but the Jiang family just wanted a position for an ordinary gatekeeper, which was not difficult.

Therefore, when it was getting dark, the news was delivered, saying that he could report at any time. Jiang Huaishan personally went to tell his nephew the good news, and Jiang Shilin was shocked.

But even though he was shocked, he knew that his uncle was doing this for his own good, so he stood up and spoke respectfully.

"Thank you, uncle. I will work hard and not let down the Jiang family."

It was rare for Jiang Huaishan to hear him speak such complete and sincere words, and he was very happy. He walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"Lin'er, your uncle doesn't ask you to be rich and powerful, as long as you can live a peaceful life and build a family. It's enough for a man to live a life that is worthy of heaven and earth and worthy of his parents. There is no need to earn fame and fortune to be a man. Do you understand?"

Jiang Shilin seemed to understand, but he also knew that his uncle did not make too many demands on him because he himself did not have any ability that people could rely on. Therefore, without that ambition, he could naturally live a peaceful life with his feet on the ground.

In the next few days, Jiang Shilin became busy.

First, I reported to the North Gate Office, and then I had to assign tasks. Because I was a newcomer, I couldn't even go home easily. I could only rest once every ten days or half a month, so the front yard was empty.

Compared to his busyness, Jiang Shiyuan in Tingshixuan had two days of leisure.

Aunt Yang worked very hard on the pattern after getting it. She spent two days finally finishing the pattern for the wedding dress, so she came to find Jiang Shiyuan today.

The flower patterns were spread out on the table. Jiang Shiyuan was very satisfied with the twin flowers and the mandarin ducks beside them. In her previous life, she married a royal relative, so the patterns were mostly about wealth and prosperity. Although they were dazzling, she still liked the current one better.

With a smile in the corner of her eyes, she gently stroked the pattern with her fingers. Although it had not yet taken shape, she already had an outline in her mind. As she was speaking, a man walked in from outside and said something with a chuckle.

"Big sister and aunt are looking at the pattern, why don't you call me?"

As soon as Jiang Shishu opened his mouth, they both turned around to look over. Aunt Yang showed surprise in her eyes and quickly stepped forward, took her hand and spoke.

"Didn't you say you would be back tomorrow? I even asked my master for a favor, and he said I could go to the gate to meet you."

"The gift has been embroidered. My daughter and the embroiderers from the princess's mansion have carefully checked it and found no problems, so we are returning first."

Hearing this, Aunt Yang was deeply moved.

Although the daughter's trip took a little longer, it won her some good reputation. Whenever he thought of the name cards in the house, he looked at his daughter with much more relief than before.
