Chapter 79 Jiang Shiyuan discusses family matters with his sister-in-law
Mother Qi noticed something was wrong, and hurried forward to pull Aunt Hai, then said to the old servant with a smile.

"Yes, the servants understand. Please lead the way. It's time for us to go back."

After hearing this, the old servant did not delay any longer and hurriedly sent the few people out the door. Fearing that someone might see her in this state and discover something, Zhang asked Mama Qi to put the veil hat on Aunt Hai.

As soon as they walked out of the private residence, Mother Qi's son drove over immediately.

The three of them got on the carriage and headed back to the Jiang Mansion. On the way, Zhang was still disgusted with the smell of joy left on Aunt Hai's body, and then she snorted coldly and said.

"I know what you're thinking. You just feel wronged. But I tell you, after the Second Master died, I was able to keep you and your son alive until now. It's already a great favor. And now you've lost your virginity for your daughter's innocence. It has nothing to do with me. If you want to tell others about this, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Her tone was full of threats, and Zhang was not afraid at all that Aunt Hai would counterattack.

After so many years, if she really was a person with backbone, she wouldn't have been bullied by me for so long.

Sure enough, after she said this, Aunt Hai was still in a daze and refused to say a word. Even when Mother Qi twisted her arm again, she seemed to have no reaction.

The master and servant looked at each other, and both felt that Aunt Hai was probably too upset, but now was not the time to abandon her, so they saw Zhang giving orders.

"Bring some medicine to her and don't cause unnecessary trouble."

If the concubine in the back house was still pregnant after her husband died, then she, as the mistress, would have a lot of trouble, so she asked this. Mother Qi nodded, these things had been prepared long ago, so she was not worried.

Aunt Hai didn't hear anything about the turmoil outside.

It was not until she reached her home, entered Yueying Pavilion and closed the door that she looked at her miserable appearance and then she burst into tears. But even though she was crying, she only dared to sob quietly. When she thought about what she had encountered today and that she would have to go there again in half a month, she wished she could hit her head against a pillar and die!

The noise was a bit loud and was just heard by Jiang Shiyue who was sitting next door.

She was still feeling strange as to why the Second Madam suddenly brought her aunt with her to burn incense, but then she thought, maybe it was her aunt's request, as she had previously said that she wanted to go to Guanghua Temple, so she didn't bother her any further.

She then continued to apply the medicine on her face. She hoped that the wound would heal soon so that her aunt could see it when she came north. Wouldn't that be just right?

In this way, apart from the Second Madam and her servants, no one in the Jiang family knew what Aunt Hai had gone through. Everyone had a future to pursue and everyone had something to think about, but she was the only one who had fallen into endless darkness since then, and it was no longer useful for her to struggle...

July 7th, the Qiqiao Festival.

Jiang Shiyuan went to Wenyuanhou Mansion early in the morning. She had made an appointment with her father and third sister to go out of the mansion together to Lanyue Tower to watch the Qiqiao Festival, so she naturally didn't want to delay for too long.

As soon as she entered the gate of Yuhua Courtyard, the maid Niaoge came to greet her with a smile. Seeing that she was dressed rather simply today, wearing only a moon-white long skirt embroidered with osmanthus flowers and Buddha's hands, and her hair was tied into a flat moon bun, she asked a question.

"Young lady, why don't you wear those bright clothes you used to wear? This one is too plain. When the old lady sees it later, she will have to make new clothes for you."

Her words successfully made the master and his servant laugh, and Green Ivy next to her also responded.

"Sister Ying is right. Please help us persuade the young lady. She has to go to the Qiqiao Festival today. How can she not dress up properly?"

"Big girl is going out?"

"Well, I've already made an appointment with my father and third sister. Besides, I'm not the protagonist today, so it's better to dress low-key and avoid attracting too much attention." Parrot had an expression of "I see," and then he explained to Green Ivy.

"The eldest girl has already been engaged, so it's natural that she can't be compared with those girls who are competing for beauty. After you get married, it doesn't matter if you stand next to your son-in-law and wear brighter clothes. You just need to serve him well, understand?"

Luoluo said "oh". Actually, Sister Liuhua had said this to her when they were in the mansion. But Yingge had served the old lady for many years, so of course she had to obey her. So she said nothing more, stood behind Jiang Shiyuan with a smile, and just did her job as a maid.

"Are my aunt and sister-in-law here?"

"The Marquis's wife is here, but the eldest young lady's wife hasn't come yet. She is in her advanced period now, and the old lady said that the rules of morning and evening visits can be waived, so she can rest more."

Jiang Shiyuan nodded. That was right. Now her sister-in-law’s belly was already five or six months big, so she should pay more attention to her. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard someone calling her from behind. When she turned around, it was a coincidence.

She hurried forward to greet him, then took Danxing's seat, holding her cousin Xiang's arm and spoke.

"Didn't grandma tell sister-in-law to rest more? Why did you come here?"

"I'm already stable now, but my grandmother is just worried. I can just walk a few steps and talk. It's nothing serious. The court doctor also told me to walk more often, saying that it will be good for the future delivery."

Jiang Shiyuan couldn't persuade her, so he had to hold her tightly.

Her belly is now bigger than it was a few days ago, and her complexion is very good, with no signs of edema from pregnancy at all.

"Sister-in-law looks very healthy. Has the imperial physician come to see her? Is the baby in your belly a boy or a girl?"

Speaking of this, my cousin Xiang became happy, nodded and continued.

"After checking, several imperial doctors came to check and they all said that it was more likely to be a girl. My grandmother and mother-in-law were very happy."

"Really? But it's true. This mansion has been full of boys for so many years. My aunt and grandmother have been looking forward to having a girl for many years. After you were born, I dare not imagine how much favor my niece will be given. I guess I can't compare to her."

Jiang Shiyuan deliberately said some sour words to tease Xiang, and Xiang knew it.

In her heart, she actually wanted a sweet daughter too. As the saying goes, flowers bloom before fruits. She and her husband were still young, so it didn't matter whether this was her first child, a boy or a girl!

"You are going to marry into the Pei family. You don't know how much favor you will receive in the future. With Cousin Pei's personality, he can probably pick the moon from the sky for you. Why are you still jealous of this little kid?"

"That's true. Who made me so lovable? It doesn't matter where we go!"

"How shameless! Aunt Pei and my third cousin will be coming over for dinner later. I want to see if you are still so bold in front of your future mother-in-law and brother-in-law!"

Jiang Shiyuan was a little surprised.

"Are they coming too?"

"Well, mother-in-law sent someone to deliver the message yesterday. After all, we will be a family in the future, so it's a good thing to let you do more things in advance."

Jiang Shiyuan was not as timid as an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law, but it had been more than half a month since her cousin Pei left Xijing City, and she had not received any news yet. So when someone from the Pei family came, she wanted to ask what the situation was like over there!
