Chapter 498 Entering the Palace
Chapter 498 Entering the Palace
Mrs. Meng and Shen's father did not expect Jiang Suining to be so resolute and fearless. However, they did not really believe in Jiang Suining's way of preserving himself, and only thought that the other party was trying to persuade them. If she really angered Shengxin, no matter whether she was a merchant in the imperial city, a female official in the palace, or even the daughter-in-law who was about to marry into their Shen family, these identities combined might not be able to protect her. Mrs. Meng frowned and wanted to persuade her again, but was stopped by Shen Yanxi. "Father, mother, Ningning has made up her mind, so you should respect her." "Aren't you afraid..." "I'm afraid, but I believe in her and myself." Even if something really happened, he would definitely protect Ningning. Mrs. Meng choked and swallowed the words of persuasion. Watching Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining leave side by side, Mrs. Meng was worried. "Husband, do you think I am old?" Father Shen said instinctively: "Nonsense, how could Madam be old, Madam..." "Husband, I am not acting like a spoiled child with you, I am really sighing, is it because we are old that we are hesitant and timid, unlike those young people who have the courage to take risks. But... I am also really afraid that these two children will cause trouble." Father Shen put his arm around his wife, thought for a while, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, since they have made up their minds, let them try. If something really happens, the worst that can happen is that we can resign and retire, and our family can live in another place. It happens to be so... After so many years of court service, your husband is really tired." "I think you are annoyed by the cold weather recently and can't get up in the morning." Mrs. Meng rolled her eyes at her husband, "Since my son has established a firm foothold in the court, you have become more and more lazy." "I just want to spend more time with you, Madam. Besides, seeing that our son is worse than me, I, as a father, am afraid that I will not be promoted again. It is better to go home." Mrs. Meng thought about it and nodded seriously, "Okay, wait until this matter is over, no matter what the result is, you should resign." "Okay, I will listen to you, Madam. I just hope that everything goes well this time." Although, it is probably too difficult to go smoothly. ... At the door of the Jiang family, Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining. "Although there is no morning court today, I still have to be on duty later, so I can't send you back to the Jiang family." "No need to send you, hurry up and pack up, don't delay." Jiang Suining smiled at Shen Yanxi and turned to get on the carriage. After sitting firmly, he lifted the curtain and looked at Shen Yanxi, and then told the driver to leave. After the carriage turned the end of the street, Jiang Suining did not return to the Jiang family, but told the driver to go to the direction of Tianyin Pavilion. It was not until noon that Jiang Suining returned to the Jiang family and met Zheng and Jiang Zhitong, telling them that the Shen family had agreed to cancel the wedding. Zheng sighed, "It's still like this after all. It seems that no one can beat you." "I made my mother worried." Jiang Suining smiled apologetically. "I'm worried about you. After all, it's not easy to meet someone you like. If something unexpected happens later, it would be a pity to miss it." "Madam, since the Shen family has already made a decision, this matter is a foregone conclusion, you don't have to think about it anymore." Jiang Zhitong persuaded, "What's more, our Suining is so good, Shen Yanxi can't bear not to marry her. After this matter is resolved, the wedding should still be held in a lively manner." As he said, Jiang Zhitong gave his wife a look. Suining must be very sad that the wedding didn't happen. Don't say anything discouraging at this time, which will make her even sadder. Zheng came to her senses and nodded immediately, saying, "Yes, that's right. We'll have a more lively wedding then!" Jiang Suining looked at the two of them, understood what they meant, and smiled as she said, "Yes, after these things are over, I will stay at home and wait for my wedding, and then we'll have a more lively wedding." Everything was settled, and the red silks that had been hung up early in the Jiang Mansion began to be gradually removed. Although the servants in the mansion had received the order, they didn't know the reason, so they inevitably discussed what had happened in private. After being beaten by Jiang Mushi, he promised that he would never go out and talk nonsense. Jiang Suining carefully checked all the ins and outs that he had sorted out. After confirming that there was no problem again, he carefully put the papers in the box and put them away, and then sorted the evidence into the bag he carried with him. The next morning, the carriage had been prepared in advance. Jiang Suining and Zheng finished breakfast together, refused Jiang Mushi's company, and walked out of the Jiang family with Xier. Just as they were about to get on the carriage and leave, Wei Yao, Lu Yan, and He Qingrui arrived. Several people got off the carriage and looked at Jiang Suining at the door of the Jiang Mansion. Lu Yan smiled and said, "We agreed yesterday to come together today to see if you have recovered from your illness. If you have recovered, we can go to the palace together. It seems that we came at the right time." He Qingrui also hurriedly said, "Suining, you are finally well. You don't know how I have been these days. Without you, I can't handle all the affairs by myself. I accidentally made a mistake and was criticized. Even the nanny and the queen are asking when you will be well and take up your duty." Wei Yao didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Suining up and down. Seeing that her face was normal and she didn't look sick, she was relieved. After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Suining smiled and said, "I have delayed things these days. I am really sorry. Since you are here, let's go together." Lu Yan and the others quickly agreed. Because they were going to visit Jiang Suining today, Lu Yan specially ordered someone to prepare a larger carriage to pick up He Qingrui and Wei Yao, so at this moment, the four of them got on the Lu family's carriage. Xier followed behind in the Jiang family's carriage. Along the way, He Qingrui talked the most, mostly talking about what government affairs she had handled during the days when Jiang Suining was away, or what problems had occurred. Lu Yan occasionally mentioned a few words, while Wei Yao rarely spoke. She carefully observed Jiang Suining along the way, and always felt that something was wrong. As the carriage approached the palace and was about to turn to the west gate where they usually entered the palace, Jiang Suining stopped the carriage. "Why stop here?" He Qingrui was puzzled. This is Xuanwu Gate, which is closest to the Golden Palace. Most of the court officials pass by when they go to and from court. It is faster for them to go through the west gate to the harem. Jiang Suining looked at the three people one by one and smiled apologetically. "I just said that I'm sorry for delaying things these days, but I'm more sorry that I'm afraid I won't be able to work with you for a long time in the future." After saying that, Jiang Suining lifted the curtain and walked straight out of the carriage.
