Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 166: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 46

"Thank you, ma'am. I heard that you opened a new shop, so I brought my daughter here to visit you today." The woman said with a smile.

She came today just to make friends with the Yun family and their daughter, who were in the limelight at that time. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion, no matter which one, were powerful families. If the lady was happy, maybe her daughter would be able to get a good marriage.

She had heard about the Prime Minister's wife's behavior some time ago, but she didn't mind. After all, it was an opportunity for people like her to make friends with them, right?

It just so happened that her family was wealthy enough to support the arrangement, so she immediately took the opportunity to come here.

Isn't this a coincidence? As soon as she arrived here, she saw the Prime Minister's wife. The more Lu thought about it, the happier she became.

Yun Xi thought to herself that this was not good. If it were any other day, she would definitely welcome it, but now was definitely not a good time.

Sure enough, Jiang Yueshu had turned slightly and asked in confusion.

"A new shop is opening? Aunt? Madam, are you saying that Linglongxuan is opened by your aunt?"

Yunxi: "......"

She was at a loss of words and didn't know how to explain.

Seeing that her chance to show off had come, Mrs. Lu spoke in a considerate manner.

"This lady, that's right. The Prime Minister's wife is kind and virtuous, and the shop she runs is naturally of the best quality, wonderful beyond words..."

"Shut up!" Yun Xi shouted suddenly.

Mrs. Lu paused in confusion, not understanding why she was so angry even though she was clearly praising her.

"Madam, if you need anything, just go to the shop. There are servants there to serve you. I have something to do here and I can't refuse, so I'll go first."

Yun Xi felt something was wrong as soon as he said this, so he patiently said a few words to comfort her.

"Ah? All right, Madam, go and do what you need! I'll be in right now."

Mrs. Lu felt something was wrong and immediately pulled her daughter inside quickly.

As soon as the two left, Yunxi met Jiang Yueshu's strange eyes. She seemed not to believe that she was deceived. She was a little confused, a little hesitant, and there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

"Shushu, this Linglongxuan was indeed opened by my aunt. There were so many people around just now that it was inconvenient to say more, so my aunt didn't say it clearly. I was about to tell you when I returned home." Yunxi explained.

"Really?" Jiang Yueshu asked, but there was still doubt in her eyes.

Yun Xi could only smile and reply, "Of course it's true. Look, aren't all these jewelry today paid for by your aunt? Although it's your aunt's shop, you still have to abide by the shop's rules. That set of ruby ​​and sapphire headpieces has indeed been ordered by someone else, and you can't take it away by force. Moreover, even if you buy these jewelry, you still have to follow the shop's rules and pay the money before you can take the things away."

Jiang Yueshu didn't say anything and looked a little depressed.

Seeing this, Yunxi had no choice but to make a verbal promise, "Okay, Shushu, when has your aunt lied to you? How can you even doubt me? When the shop releases the latest headwear, your aunt will buy it and give it to you personally. How about that?"

Jiang Yueshu then looked up hesitantly, "Really?"

Yun Xi tapped Jiang Yueshu on the forehead and said, "Of course it's true. Just wait!"

Jiang Yueshu then dispelled her doubts and happily took Yunxi back home.

Yun Xi barely fooled Jiang Yueshu with a set of expensive headwear. He felt very sad, but he still had to give it away.

In order to avoid any further complications, Jiang Yueshu received a set of head ornaments from Yunxi the next day. It was a set of white jade inlaid with red coral, and it looked extremely exquisite. Jiang Yueshu happily accepted it.

This Yun family knows how to take advantage of her status, but Jiang Yueshu feels that her current behavior is too much. After her sister-in-law came back yesterday, the two of them chatted in private for a while.

Nowadays, if any lady in the entire imperial city doesn’t know about Yunxi’s behavior, she might get into trouble one day.

Sure enough, on the third day, as soon as Jiang's father came home from court, he called Yunxi.

It was dinner time and the masters of the Jiang Mansion were all having their meals. Jiang's father cursed at Yunxi without any regard for his feelings.

"Yun! What on earth have you done recently?"

Yunxi was stunned for a moment and felt aggrieved. He had lived a peaceful life during this period and had not done anything bad.

"Master? This? I haven't done anything recently."

"Hmph! Then tell me, have you opened a rouge and jewelry shop recently?" Father Jiang looked at her coldly.

Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Xinghui also looked over nervously.

"Master, didn't you tell me last time? Hui'er is not young anymore and it's time for her to learn how to manage the household. But my mother is old and I dare not bother her. So I listened to my mother's advice and used my own money to open a shop so that I could teach my daughter." Yun Xi spoke righteously.

"Foolish woman! If you were just like this, how could the Censor of the Censorate in the court impeach me to the emperor, and even the Marquis' Mansion was impeached. You are really confused. You dare to abuse the status of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion to bully others for a little bit of profit!" Father Jiang was so angry that he threw a cup in the direction of Yunxi.

Yunxi dodged to the side, feeling panicked. She knew that although Jiang's father disliked her, this involved matters of the imperial court, so how could he lie to her about this matter?

"Master, I didn't. I was just running a normal business and didn't do anything else. I was just happy about Hui'er's matter, so I talked to the ladies a few more words. I guess they misunderstood me." Yun Xi knelt down pitifully and cried.

When Father Jiang heard this, his anger grew even greater.

The censor has already named the prime minister's wife, but she still refuses to admit it. Does she have to be caught in the act before she admits it?

Yunxi, however, thought that he had no flaws and even pretended to cry out for injustice, which made Jiang's father very upset and was like adding fuel to the fire.

Father Jiang looked at the unreasonable Yun Xi and slapped him.

"shut up!"

Yunxi stopped screaming immediately after being slapped by Jiang's father. She covered her swollen cheek, silently shedding tears and dared not say another word.

Jiang Xinghui, who was standing by, was terrified and quickly grabbed Yun.

"Yunxi, you know clearly whether what you said was intentional or unintentional! Do you really want me to interrogate everyone in your shop? If you continue like this, I will not try to persuade you to stay if you are not interested in the position of the Prime Minister's wife. You are courting death by yourself, so don't drag the entire Prime Minister's Mansion with you!"

Yunxi's eyes flickered and he felt a little guilty. After hearing what Jiang's father said next, he dared not say a word.

Father Jiang paused and issued the final decision, "From today on, you will be confined to reflect on your mistakes for three months. If you still can't control your mouth, you can wait for me to divorce you! As for the profits of your Linglongxuan, I have already declared to the emperor that half of the profits will be donated to the people. I will execute it in the name of all the ladies in the imperial city, which can be regarded as an explanation to them. Since you said that you want Hui'er to learn how to be a housekeeper, the shop will be handed over to her."

Hearing this, Yunxi's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Jiang's father in disbelief, as if to confirm the truth of his words.

Looking at Father Jiang's cold and ruthless eyes, and his expression of not caring at all, Yun Xi had no choice but to turn his gaze to Old Lady Jiang, trying to get her to plead for him.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her indifferently and spoke coldly.

"Yun, in the past, no matter what you did, I would have pleaded for you. But now, you don't even care about the overall situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The future of the Jiang family must not be ruined by a woman. You should listen to my son. If you behave well, you can get out soon. But if you continue to be restless, it means that you are not destined to be in my Jiang Mansion!"

She originally didn't care much about the troubles Yunxi had caused, but after hearing what her son said, she became very dissatisfied with this restless daughter-in-law.

In her heart, the most important things are her son and grandson. With the power of the prime minister's mansion, the Jiang family will have a brighter future. If someone stands in the way, no matter who it is, she will not let them go easily, let alone Yunxi, who got to the top by being pregnant but did not give birth to a boy for the Jiang family.

Yunxi's expression changed for a while, and finally her eyes dimmed, and she spoke sadly.

"Sir, Linglong Pavilion is a gift from me as a mother. I just hope Huier will be more confident after getting married. If I donate half of the money, it means I, as a mother, have not done my job well. Sir, can you..."

"This matter has already been reported to His Majesty. If you are not satisfied, go and ask Him to revoke his decision!" Father Jiang said coldly.

"Besides, Yun, do you remember that Hui'er accepted this marriage from her elder sister and agreed to it herself? Since she is my daughter, I will not let her down. As for the rest, it is her own choice!"
