Chapter 362: Waiting

Before, Xie didn’t know the reason, but now she realized that He knew about this relationship between Zheng Ji and Jiang, and became even more dissatisfied with Zheng Ji. She didn’t dare to take it out on Zheng Ji and the Grand Princess and Old Emperor’s Son-in-law, but she took it out on her clan members and relatives.

As for this matter of Zheng Tingting, it was also because the elders were afraid that He would make trouble to the Grand Princess, and Xie became even more displeased with He.

She unflinchingly lifted He’s old bottom, “As a woman, I also know that He’s had a hard life and it’s not easy. But she brought it on herself, so who’s to blame. If she wanted to find a man who would treat her well, she shouldn’t have married my little uncle in the first place. Listen to what my master said,”

Xie’s voice lowered, ”Before my little uncle went to the south to quell the rebellion, he asked my lord to do him a favor, which was to stop the Grand Princess from betrothing him. When the Princess and the He family were discussing the marriage, my master quietly paid off one of the mothers-in-law in the He family to bring Zheng Ji’s words that he didn’t want to get married to the He family,” said Xie.

“He had someone bring a message to my master, she obeyed her parents’ order, matchmaker’s words, regardless of Zheng Ji’s attitude, she will marry. She also told Old Master He, who then went to my father-in-law and eldest uncle to ask for help. The father was so angry that he beat my master so badly that he couldn’t get out of bed for half a month. The scar on my father’s forehead was caused by the tea cup he used to smash it.”

Jiang Yishi was speechless.

Jiang Yishi was speechless. She had only seen Commander Zheng twice, with a serious look on his face, and she didn’t expect to have done this kind of thing.

In that case, it seemed that the tragedy that caused Zheng Ji and He, in addition to the Grand Princess Yichang who had hard screwed them together was most responsible, He also had a responsibility. She was not unaware of the situation, but she knew that there was a pit in front of her, and because that pit was full of honor and wealth, she still jumped in without any reason.

If Jiang Yishi had a trace of sympathy for He before, after hearing these words, that bit of sympathy was gone.

He had gotten what she and her family wanted, why would she want more? If she couldn’t get it, not only did she hate Zheng Ji, but she also took it out on people who didn’t have anything to do with her.

Such a person is prone to go to extremes, and when pissed off, will really do things that harm others and harm themselves.

Thinking of the unkind look she gave herself, Jiang Yixi had a jolt.

Xie added, “If you ask me, the really smart person is your family’s First Lady. Looking fastidious and without scheming, that’s a smart person. What you should want and what you shouldn’t want, what you can hold on to and what you can’t hold on to, and how to do it in your favor, you know it all.

Zheng family with the Meng family and Liu family relations are good, Xie also know Liu and Cheng Guo Gong some things.

This point Jiang Yishi agreed.

Liu knew that she couldn’t catch the Duke of Cheng, and only caught the ones that were favorable to her.

Jiang Yishi said, “Yes, not to mention that grandfather and grandmother pity the first wife, we when the younger generation is even more respect for her. Xiu’er and we also get along very well, and when she gets married, the Meng family will pay the same dowry as if she were their own daughter. I heard my grandfather say that in a few days, he will change the name of Niu Xiu to Meng Xiu and write it into the ancestral hall ……”.

Xie said, “This is about seeking benevolence and not being greedy.”

Thinking of He’s obstinacy, Xie heaved a sigh. Originally she was five points dissatisfied with He, now she was ten points dissatisfied.

If He knew that they wanted to marry their daughter to Jiang Xun, there was no telling what she would do. Only to see if Zheng Ji could stabilize her, or if there was a way to convince the Grand Princess. If not, that matter will have to wait.

Jiang Yishi added about the heartache she felt when she knew her brother had been beaten.

Xie apologized on behalf of the elders, “I know Xun’er was beaten, and I am also extremely distressed. Alas, the old master and my master have anger in their hearts, they can’t afford to beat Tingting, so they took it out on Xun’er, he was unjustly beaten.”

The two women talked well, and it seemed that the men also talked well. Boss Zheng had someone send word over to keep Meng Zhimo for a drink, and also asked Jiang to finish dinner here before leaving.

Zheng Tingting was still in the middle of her confinement, and Zheng Jingjing came to the main courtyard to eat with Jiang Yishi.

She happily pulled Jiang Yishi’s sleeve and pouted, “Sister-in-law, I also went to see Jiang Tan Hua parade that day. I heard a lot of young ladies praising him, saying that he is handsome and has a good face. They said that he was handsome and had a good command of literature and arms, and they even said that they wanted to marry him.”

Xie frowned and said, “Little girl, what are you talking about. Remember, don’t listen to these words, let alone say them.”

Zheng Jingjing reddened her eyes and deflated her mouth to cry.

Jiang Yishi smiled and said, “Jingjing said that because Xun’er and General Zheng play well together. If it was another man, she definitely wouldn’t have listened or said anything.”

Zheng Jingjing was busy nodding, “Yes, I often heard big brother talk about second brother Jiang before I paid attention.” She also asked, “Mother, when sister-in-law Meng is here, why don’t you let big sister come to keep her company, big sister plays best with sister-in-law Meng.”

Zheng Tingting and Jiang Xun’s affairs were kept secret, so the little girl didn’t know.

Xie said, “Tingting is not yet well enough to go out.”

After the women’s rolls ate their meal the men’s side had not yet dispersed, and a few people gossiped until the end of the hour before Meng Ruimo sent someone to ask Jiang Yishi to go to the front yard.

The two of them rode in the same carriage.

Jiang Yishi asked anxiously, “How did your conversation go?”

“Fine.”

Meng Zhimo had drunk a lot and reeked of alcohol.

“Boss and Commander Zheng both recognized Jiang Xun, but they were just worried that He would make a fuss about the incident and upset the Grand Princess. But He is Uncle Ji’s daughter-in-law, so they can’t take action against her. They would write to Uncle Ji and see what he said.

“In the House of the Grand Princess Yichang, the Grand Princess is the head of the family. But for the entire Zheng Clan, Zheng Ji is the real helmsman. Especially when it comes to major events that concern the fate of the family’s future, Old Emperor Son-in-law Zheng and Boss Zheng are both willing to listen to him.”

Still one word – ‘wait’.

This result was considered a big success.

The next day, the weather cleared up, the sky was like a wash, and spring was bright.

Jiang Yishi went back to the Jiang family.

Before she even entered the entrance of the alley, she heard Jiang Da’s voice.

“Second Auntie is here?”

Wu You Gui, who was riding in front of the carriage, said, “Yes. Where is big brother Jiang going?”

“I’m on my way to find Second Auntie.”

Jiang Yishi lifted the carriage curtain and asked, “What is it?”

Jiang Da dismounted and came to the front of the carriage and said, “Second Auntie, the old lady is sick, uncle, the third master, and the eldest master have not gone to the court, and are at Ruyi Hall to attend to her illness. Last night, the old lady cried and fussed, and asked Master Bo to ask the family law to teach Second Master a lesson. Uncle and the third master persuaded her, and she smacked the second master with a chicken feather duster …… again.

Jiang Yishi was furious.

Needless to say, it must be Jiang Xun’s marriage affair.

These days many people come to Jiangfu to Jiang Xun pro, the old lady looked at several high family.

Jiang Xun and Zheng’s relatives did not finalize dare not explicitly, only a refusal of the old lady good pro, the old lady is not happy, but also hit people.

With the second house siblings Jiang Mansion high a big cut, the old lady also want to take Jiang Xun relatives in exchange for greater wealth.

On what grounds!
