Chapter 357: Can’t Belittle Her

That morning, Jiang Xun, who had finished his busy schedule, finally took the time to come to the Duke of Cheng Mansion.

Jiang Xun was an old acquaintance here, from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, all the way the subordinates were congratulating him.

The Jin Garden was full of flowers, countless butterflies danced, and small bees were hard at work on the flowers.

The old master sat on a small bench picking up a pot of flowers, and little Cun Cun stood by with a small shovel.

In the pavilion sat Yin Er and Hua Hua, people lively cat play happy.

Jiang Xun first went to the pavilion to hug the little tone, before walking to the old man.

He knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, “Thank you, Grandfather Meng, Jiang Xun has not failed you.”

The old master looked him up and down, full of smiles.

“Go to the pavilion and bring Little Eva, when I finish serving, accompany me to drink two cups.”

Jiang Xun said, “The late generation wants to go and kowtow to the old Taijun.”

“Oh, go.”

Jiang Yishi was still managing the house in the council hall, Jiang Xun held Yin’er, Cun Cun pulled his lapel, Hua Hua sat on his shoulder, and was led by the maid to Fu An Hall.

He kowtowed to the old lady and expressed his gratitude.

The old lady was happy, pulled him to talk for a while, and also rewarded him a jade penholder and a jade pendant.

A few people and a cat returned to Floating Life Residence, the food and wine had already been put on the table.

Jiang Xun accompanied the old man to drink a good time. Send off the old man, it is already time.

He walked to the west room of the upper room, his feet staggered, covered in alcohol.

The sobering soup was already prepared, and Jiang Yishi let him drink a bowl.

Seeing that he was eager to say something, Jiang Yishi advised, “Go to the east room first and rest, rest well before saying anything.”

Jiang Xun mumbled, “I can’t sleep if I don’t talk about it.”

Jiang Yishi sighed, dismissed the men and personally poured him a cup of tea.

The two siblings sat down.

Jiang Xun’s eyes rippled with laughter, still a little embarrassed.

“Sister, I, I have a girl of my choice.”

Jiang Yi shi shi looked at him quietly and didn’t ask who it was afterward.

Jiang Xun continued, “It’s Zheng Tingting, the eldest Zheng girl. I think that she also has a good feeling for me, and I want to beg to marry her. Our family’s power is low, and I still want to ask Grandfather Meng to help make a deal.”

Seeing that Jiang Yishi had yet to state her position, Jiang Xun had a question in his eyes, “What, sis doesn’t agree?”

Jiang Yishi sighed heavily and said, “There is something that sis didn’t want to tell you before. Later, when I saw that you and Tingting had a mutual affection for each other, I had to say it.”

“What is it?”

Jiang Yishi’s eyes darkened as she instructed, “Remember, no matter what, I am your sister, the sister who cares and loves you the most.”

Jiang Xun felt that this was inexplicable and laughed, “Of course you are my sister, what exactly is it?”

Jiang Yixi added, “No matter what has happened, Mother is the most beloved of Father, the good woman we respect the most, you can’t belittle her.”

Jiang Xun’s smile disappeared, anticipating that something big had happened.

He solemnly said, “No matter what has happened, Sister is the best Sister to me, and Mother is the Mother I respect the most.”

Jiang Yishi said leisurely, “Before Mother married our father, she was acquainted with Zheng Ji.”

“Just acquaintances?”

Jiang Xun’s heart sank violently, knowing that things were not that simple. When he thought of Zheng Ji’s unexplained kindness to himself, his heart was even more in a state of confusion, and his wine sobered up by two points.

Jiang Yishi added, “They were devoted to each other and their feelings were so deep that they once made a scene all over the city. The Grand Princess of Yichang disliked her grandfather’s family’s low status, and did not agree to this marriage. On the one hand to foreign ancestor pressure, on the one hand let people send Zheng Ji out of the capital on official business …… mother was forced to throw herself into the river, was saved by our father, after that married our father …… Zheng family has found out that our mother is Hu Mingya, they are not willing to offend the Grand Princess family ……”

Jiang Yishi said father very deliberately, adding the word “we”. She didn’t say that Hu had a relationship with Zheng Jifa, and she didn’t say that she was pregnant before she married into the Jiang family.

Jiang Xun was saddened and incredulous, shaking his head uncontrollably. He did not want to believe, but had to believe.

For a long time, he raised his head to look at Jiang Yishi in a daze, tears welling up in his eyes. What he was most afraid of was what his sister didn’t say.

But when he saw Jiang Yishi’s resemblance to Zheng Tingting and Zheng Jing, and then thought of Zheng Tingting once joked that Zheng and Jiang were relatives hundreds of years ago, he had to admit that his own sister might be …… the closest to him.

He asked softly, “Mother and Uncle Zheng just fall for each other?”

The voice is a little choked.

Jiang Yishi lowered her eyes to force back the tears in her eyes, raised her eyes and said, “I don’t know.”

Jiang Xun muttered again, “The Grand Princess and Miss Zheng’s family have separate rooms, and just because my mother and Miss Zheng’s cousin used to fall in love with each other, they want to stop me and Miss Zheng from doing anything? Impossible, there must be other things going on with Mother and Uncle Zheng. Sister, tell me the truth, was Mother …… married to Father before she married him?”

Jiang Yishi didn’t dare to look directly at Jiang Xun’s gaze and said, “I don’t know. I only know that you and I are from the same mother, and I know that father has loved me since I was a child ……”

There was no denial, so that was it.

Jiang Xun hugged his head and cried, fearing that people would hear him, trying his best to hold back. He cried not about him and Zheng Tingting, this matter at this time has not had time to think about.

He cried because the closest person in this world, the person who was the best to him, the sister that the two people depended on, was not the same father as him. Mother actually had a child with another man, father’s beloved daughter is not his flesh and blood.

Jiang Yishi also shed tears, got up and walked to him, held his head and said, “mother’s all things, our father knows, he chose to tolerate, with the deepest love and care mother and I. You can not belittle her, she is also the most important thing, she is not the same father. You can not belittle her, she is also involved in the world, can not help ……”

Jiang Xun hugged Jiang Yishi, his eyes wet her clothes, scalding her heartache.

A few moments later, Jiang Xun said, “As a human son, I do not blame the mother, more will not belittle her. She couldn’t help herself, so she took that step and ended up harming others and herself …… Sister, Mother is gone, Father is gone, you are the closest person to your brother ……”

“Yes, I will always be the brother’s closest pro sister, and will always be our father’s own daughter, is the Jiang family girl, no one can change. My younger brother is now a scout, and also a royal guard, sis waiting for my younger brother to be more successful, to support my sister ……”

By the time Jiang Xun’s emotions calmed down, the window paper had been colored yellow by the haze. His face was trapped in the orange light, appearing even more waxy and haggard.

The subordinate brought Cun Cun and Yin Er to Fu An Hall, and Jiang Yishi asked them to give themselves a vacation.

Jiang Mashie felt that that matter Jiang Xun had digested about as much as he could, and ruthlessly continued to talk about another matter.

“A few days ago, Rhetoric Mo and I went to Huzhuang, and Zheng Yu talked to Rhetoric Mo about you and Tingting. He made it clear that the Zheng family already knows about Mother and Zheng Ji, and has speculations about my birth, and that several elders do not agree with what’s going on between you. Will also use our family’s low family power as a reason to force Tingting to pinch off that disease idea ……”
