Chapter 110 No good banquet
Chapter 110 No good banquet
Everyone listened to Yuan Peishan's words and couldn't help but secretly click their tongues. They hadn't expected that the reason why the Duke of Dingguo split up the family and established new households was actually due to such a shocking inside story.
However, if we talk about the Jiang family that is now thriving and highly valued by the emperor, it must be the third branch of the Jiang family. However, no one would have thought that the third branch of the Jiang family would disregard blood ties for their own future. It is really cold-blooded.
"You can't judge a person by his appearance! I never thought the second branch of the Jiang family would be so pitiful, abandoned by their own brothers. This is really heartbreaking!"
“Who says it’s not true? Although our family is not as good as before, we are all working together as a family and our lives are extremely fulfilling!
Unlike some people who are willing to do such drastic things to get promoted and make money, even to the point of being despised by their own brothers. It really makes people despise them from the bottom of their hearts!"
After Jia finished speaking, she did not forget to glance at Jiang Shuyu, and the contempt in her eyes was not concealed at all.
When Jiang Wanrong came over, she heard people's mixed opinions, but most people were slandering Jiang Zhongming. After all, Jiang Shuyu was so popular now.
Isn't it because she has a father who holds a large number of troops? If Jiang Zhongming's image of being so profit-seeking and ruthless is known to everyone, I wonder if anyone will still follow him wholeheartedly.
If the news gets to the emperor's ears, he might be dismissed. By then, her father can ask Prince Rui to say a few good words for him. Since they are all members of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhongming's military power will surely be taken over by her. By then, she will be her father's only daughter and will have a large number of troops under her command. There is no need to worry about her taking down Prince Rui.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanrong suddenly felt unprecedented relief, as if victory was just around the corner. Seeing Jiang Shuyu being isolated on the side, Jiang Wanrong was in a good mood. She immediately straightened her clothes and walked out in a dignified and generous manner.
"Everyone, please stop talking. Wanrong thinks these are all misunderstandings. Even if my father is a bad guy, he is still Third Uncle's brother. Third Uncle would never do this. If this gets out, it will ruin Third Uncle's reputation. We are all family. Wanrong doesn't want to see them get upset over such a small matter, so everyone, please stop talking."
After listening to Jiang Wanrong's words, everyone stopped talking. However, they still praised Jiang Wanrong. After all, Jiang Wanrong is the future Princess Rui. If they can do her a favor now, and if they are lucky enough to catch her eye in the future, it will be beneficial to them.
"Miss Jiang Er is gentle and generous, truly unmatched by any other woman. No wonder His Majesty has such a keen eye for marriage and has granted His Royal Highness Prince Rui several engagements. With such an outstanding woman, it's only natural that he should be the first to act!"
"Yes! The second daughter of the Jiang family has always been known for her virtuous character. She and His Royal Highness Prince Rui are a perfect match! She is so considerate and sensible. If it were someone else, they would probably never be able to catch up with her in their lifetime.
"That's right, that's exactly what I think! Madam Jiang is so lucky! She actually raised such an outstanding daughter. Don't be sad, your good days are still ahead!"
Yuan Peishan gently wiped away her tears, a smile on her face, and she looked at Jiang Wanrong with pity and said, "Wanrong is a well-behaved girl, but we, as parents, are incompetent. It's a bit unfair for her to follow us!"
Jiang Shuyu looked at Yuan Peishan and her daughter, who were singing the same tune, which made everyone sympathize with them. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Looking at the corner of clothes hidden outside the door, Jiang Shuyu's mouth curled up slightly with a smile, and then looked at Jiang Wanrong and said:
"Second sister, second aunt, and second uncle have been working hard to improve your lives. How can you belittle him like this and make his efforts a joke? Wouldn't second uncle be hurt by this? You really shouldn't do this!"
Seeing Jiang Shuyu accusing them righteously, Jiang Wanrong was stunned. Thinking of what they had just said, she naturally felt a little guilty.
She was only concerned with suppressing Jiang Shuyu, and even dragged her father into the water. Although she did not belittle him openly, her meaning was almost the same. She did not expect to be caught by Jiang Shuyu. She was really careless.
Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at this moment, but she recovered quickly. After all, her father was not here now. As long as she didn't admit it, Jiang Shuyu would be helpless.
Yuan Peishan only wanted to ruin Jiang Shuyu's reputation at this time, so she naturally didn't care about so many things. Seeing that the people around her had already started whispering and accusing Jiang Wanrong, Yuan Peishan immediately stood up and looked at Jiang Shuyu and started to accuse her:
"Yu'er, you know that your second uncle has no other skills and can only follow your father and others to do odd jobs all his life. But your second uncle is too proud to admit this. If it weren't for this opportunity, your second aunt would not be so frank and say these insignificant words to you! Please have pity on your second uncle's difficult life and give us a way out. Second aunt kneels down and kowtows to you!"
Seeing Yuan Peishan kneeling down towards her, Jiang Shuyu's face darkened. She immediately moved sideways to avoid Yuan Peishan's kneeling.
She had never thought that Yuan Peishan would go to such extremes to ruin her reputation. If she accepted her greeting, she would be drowned in the spit of the capital.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyu's eyes darkened. It turned out that there was no good banquet! Since she had gone to such great lengths to pretend to cry and play the victim, then she would do her best to save her from not being able to truly empathize with him.
"Yu'er never thought that Second Uncle was so incompetent. In Yu'er's eyes, Second Uncle was once an omnipotent existence. Even when he was mentioned outside, everyone would give him a thumbs up and praise him! I didn't expect that all this was a lie. If Second Aunt and Second Sister hadn't worked hard to uncover it, we wouldn't have known! Second Uncle is really good at disguising himself!"
Yuan Peishan and Jiang Shuyu were stunned when they heard what they heard. Before they could react, Jiang Hongtai came over first. Seeing the surprised expression on Yuan Peishan's face, Jiang Hongtai immediately slapped her.
Seeing Jiang Wanrong trembling, considering that she was now the daughter-in-law of the royal family, he did not take action after all, but his vicious eyes revealed a fierceness.
"You, you guys are doing very well!"
Jiang Hongtai wanted to kill them at this time. Since leaving the Dingguo Mansion, although he had a daughter who was betrothed to the Rui Wang, he still ran into obstacles everywhere. Only then did he know what it meant to lean on a big tree for shade. But it was too late. Naturally, he wanted to mend the relationship.
