Chapter 82 The Jiang Family Meets a Troubling Person
Not long after the Jiang family members took their seats, guests began to arrive at Lanyue Tower one after another.

Basically, they were all ladies and young ladies that Jiang Shiyuan had met at the banquet at Marquis Wenyuan's mansion. Even if they were unfamiliar faces, she could tell from their clothes and jewelry that they must be wealthy people in Xijing City, so she was not surprised.

Jiang Shiyue knew this was a good opportunity, so she pestered her elder sister to tell her who the ladies passing by were so that she could remember their faces.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't think much about it, and called his third sister over as well. Standing at the inner window, he explained the situation one by one. The two didn't know if they would be useful in the future, but knowing one more person was always beneficial, so they both took note.

Who knew that as he was looking, he suddenly saw Princess Chun.

Jiang Shiyuan was quite surprised that she appeared here today. Based on his understanding of her, she would not normally come to such occasions. When he looked around, he saw a lady of similar age, accompanied by two beautiful girls.

The four of them walked together and seemed very close.

Thinking of this, a sarcastic smile appeared on Jiang Shiyuan's lips. At the same time, the other two girls of the Jiang family also saw it. Jiang Shiyue asked curiously.

"Isn't that my second sister's mother-in-law, Princess Chun? Whose lady is this with her?"

"Mrs. Zhao and her two daughters from the Fengchang family."

Zhao Fengchang?
Jiang Shishu and Jiang Shiyue had never met each other, but when Jiang Huaishan heard it, he couldn't help but frown and looked over. But when he saw several people talking and laughing, he understood the general idea in his heart.

He glanced at his daughter and asked.

"Could it be that Princess Chun has other ideas?"

"My daughter once heard from my aunt that Princess Chun is interested in finding a concubine for the prince."

The Crown Prince's concubine? Doesn't that mean that someone will be allowed to enter the house to share the favor of the daughter-in-law? Upon hearing this, everyone present was silent. Jiang Shiyue suddenly felt that the words that her elder sister had advised her before really made sense.

People like them who come from small families may not be favored by their parents-in-law even if they marry into a family. Originally, she was jealous of her second sister because of her grand manner. But now her second sister is pregnant and Princess Chun comes out to see the Crown Prince's concubine. It's really a dilemma with wolves in front and tigers behind.

Before she could finish her thought, she saw Prince Chun appear.

He was originally a handsome man with some reputation in Xijing City, so he naturally attracted some attention now. He did not shy away from it and went straight to the two girls from the Zhao family. Although he behaved according to the rules, his eyes showed that he wanted to create some sparks, and this caught Jiang Shiyuan's attention.

She suddenly felt sick.

So he withdrew his gaze, walked to the outside window, gently pushed it open a little, and took a few deep breaths of fresh air. Only then did the nausea subside.

Her eyes gradually turned cold. She hated Crown Prince Song Shiye and Princess Chun more than her second sister. After all, in her previous life, she had not even had the chance to deal with the people from the second house before she entered Prince Chun's mansion.

Therefore, many of the sad things she had experienced also happened there and were closely related to the mother and son, so when she saw their hypocritical faces again, her expression naturally did not look good.

Jiang Shishu saw his elder sister's unhappiness, walked over and looked at her with some concern. Before he could say anything, Jiang Shiyuan replied with comforting words.

"I'm fine, the room is just a little stuffy and I just want to get some fresh air." These words were obviously not convincing, but Jiang Shishu could see that his elder sister did not want to say much. After all, the prince had been engaged to her, and perhaps that was why she felt uncomfortable. Jiang Shishu did not dare to ask too much and just accompanied her quietly.

Jiang Shiyue wanted to take a closer look, but was scolded by Jiang Huaishan.

"Okay, everyone, sit down for a while. The event will start soon and there will be a lot of excitement to watch."

Jiang Huaishan had not expected to meet people from Prince Chun's Mansion here, and felt very unlucky. But since they were already here, they couldn't just leave just because someone they didn't want to see showed up. Wouldn't that make them seem guilty?

Therefore, after taking two breaths, he sat and waited like an old monk in meditation.

Aunt Yang stood beside him obediently, not leaving his side. Jiang Shiyue pouted helplessly. Even if she wanted to continue watching, she had to listen to her uncle's words, so she had to retract her gaze and looked at the furnishings inside boredly, curious on her own.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room where the Jiang family was staying was a little quiet, but on the other side, Princess Chun and the Crown Prince, who did not notice this, were having a pleasant conversation with the mother and daughter of the Zhao family.

"In a few days, the two sisters will enter the palace. Don't worry, Miss Zhao. With me here, no one can bully them."

Princess Chun's tone was very certain at this moment, and her eyes were full of expectation as she looked at the two daughters of the Zhao family. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with them. Prince Song standing beside her also had a bright and cheerful face, which made the two sisters very happy.

"Ah, everyone says that my two girls are honest and kind-hearted. When they were young, they said that they would marry the same person in the future. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to come true. Although I am reluctant, the princess and the prince's sincerity still touched our master, so he agreed to the marriage. In the future, I hope the princess will be more tolerant."

Princess Chun's face was stiff with a smile, but in her heart she sneered at Zhao Fengchang's wife.

Not only did she visit the prince several times, she also took out all the betrothal gifts that were supposed to be given to the prince's wife, which was equivalent to a large sum of money. Only then did she get two concubines to take home.

To put it nicely, it's because of your sincerity, but to be honest, isn't it just that you are attracted by wealth and money?

But she had no choice. She didn't like her daughter-in-law at all. If she wasn't pregnant now, she would have made the decision to let Jiang Shijin give up the position of the Crown Prince's Consort.

Although it cost a lot to marry the two sisters from the Zhao family today, as long as the lucrative job in the River Department is obtained, all these expenses will eventually be recovered.

The most important thing is that the bitch mother and son in the family can no longer be sarcastic about their daughter-in-law's poor background. After all, Concubine Xun's daughter-in-law is just the daughter of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, but her son's, even if she is a concubine, is a girl from the Fengchang family.

Just because she was able to vent her anger, Princess Chun felt much more comfortable looking at the two daughters of the Zhao family in front of her, so much so that even her smile became a little more sincere.

Soon, another group of guests arrived downstairs of Lanyue Building.

When Old Lady Wang and a group of women from the Marquis Wenyuan's mansion showed up, Princess Chun's face wasn't looking good. They were still at loggerheads over the cancellation of the engagement, and when the Marquis's wife, Lady Pei, was spreading rumors about the second Miss Jiang's misconduct, she even scolded her own son harshly.

During that period, she was too embarrassed to go out to attend banquets because she was afraid of meeting this host. So when she saw her radiantly appearing in Lanyue Tower today, she thought it would be better to avoid provoking her.

However, while she had this thought, Madam Zhao next to her did not notice it. She raised her hand, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and then introduced it to Princess Chun.

"Princess, did you see the lady standing next to Madam Hou? That is Madam Pei, the future mother-in-law of Miss Jiang."
