The passers-by are vicious

Seeing this, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but look up and giggle, her laughter full of mockery.

Even though she couldn't help coughing twice due to her weak body, she still endured the discomfort and said after taking a breath: "You think too highly of yourself. I'm just a Hanlin scholar. Even if the Marquis knew about this, what would it matter? Do you think he would punish me for you?"

Su Ran was not surprised by Jiang Wanwan's fearless attitude.

After all, he only said that out of anger. In fact, he already knew in his heart that with Jiang Wanwan's status and means, she would not take him seriously at all.

However, Jiang Wanwan didn't seem to intend to give up.

She suddenly stopped her kind words and replaced them with a cold and disdainful sneer.

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Even if the Marquis reprimanded me for this, your sister is still in the Marquis' Mansion. I can't say how I will live in the future~."

There was an obvious threat in Jiang Wanwan's words, forcing the already angry Su Ran to clench his fists tightly.

After struggling for a long time, he finally realized that his sister was more important. Moreover, even if he had a reputation, it would be the end of him being suppressed by his father's wife.

He had no intention of getting married anyway, so he suddenly relaxed and said, "I'll do as Madam Hou says, and please don't embarrass my sister."

Jiang Wanwan smiled complacently, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and said, "It's good that Lord Su is understanding. This way, it will be convenient for everyone."

Su Ran's face was gloomy and he was filled with resentment, but in order to protect Su and deal with Su Wanran, he could only swallow his anger.

Jiang Wanwan felt more and more proud as she looked at Su Ran.

She smiled and said, "I hope Lord Su will not blame me. It is rare for my brother to like a woman. In the past, I could not get her because of my status. If I still cannot get her now, then I will be the wife of the Marquis in vain."

After saying that, she looked at Su Ran again, with a gentle smile in her eyes, "You also have a sister, so I think you can understand my thoughts, right?"

Su Ran gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and whispered: "Madam is right."

Jiang Wanwan laughed, her laughter full of pride. She looked at Su Ran, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Su Ran took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Madam, this is something Su Ran did voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with you, Madam."

Jiang Wanwan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. She knew that Su Ran had been completely controlled by her.

"I just hope that Madam can take good care of my sister." Su Ran added with a hint of pleading in her voice.

Jiang Wanwan raised her eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, since I'm already the wife of the Marquis, I naturally don't have the time to embarrass her."

Su Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded to express his gratitude, but his eyes still revealed deep helplessness and unwillingness.

When he left, the humility and gentleness of the handsome man with handsome features and a body as straight as a bamboo had completely disappeared.

It can be seen that today's events have made him realize the importance of power, and that those in power can do whatever they want.

Su Ran really kept his word. After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, he went straight to the Minister of War's Mansion without hesitation.

However, within just a few days, news spread in the capital that he was so ignorant of the world that he dared to dream of marrying the concubine of the Minister of War, and from then on he became enemies with the Minister of War's family.

Those noble ladies who once had a good impression or even admiration for him immediately disappeared, and Su Ran seemed like a different person, no longer as gentle as jade as before.

Naturally, this matter also reached Su Wanran's ears. When she learned about it, her heart sank.

She knew that Su Ran had always been steady and reserved, but now she did something so impulsive, there must be a reason for it.

Su Wanran decided to go and find out for herself.

So, she broke into Yaoguang Garden without hesitation.

When Su Wanran entered the room, she happened to see Song Qiyuan having dinner with Jiang Wanwan.

However, Su Wanran could no longer care about anything else at this moment. She broke free from the maid who was trying to stop her, rushed into the house, and directly questioned Jiang Wanwan: "How did my brother bother Madam? Why did Madam force him to this extent!"

Her eyes were filled with anger and confusion as she stared straight at Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan slowly picked up a piece of shrimp for Song Qiyuan, then put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, as if she didn't take Su Wanran's questioning seriously at all.

Song Qiyuan was sitting on a chair eating the shrimp that Jiang Wanwan picked for him. Seeing Su Wanran's look, he just glanced at her with a distant and indifferent look, then raised his chin and said coldly, "This is how you talk to your wife. Where did you learn the rules?"

Su Wanran felt bitter in her heart. She had long been accustomed to Song Qiyuan's indifference and disregard for her, but whenever she thought of their past friendship, she still couldn't suppress the pain in her heart.

A bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Madam obviously did something, but the Marquis is so blind that he starts to blame me without even asking."

Song Qiyuan's face was calm, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him, but if you looked closely you could still see that his brows were slightly furrowed.

Song Qiyuan knew exactly what Jiang Wanwan said when she called Su Ran to her house.

However, he did not stop this from happening, and he did not even have any opinion on Jiang Wanwan's behavior.

Because he knew very well that Jiang Wanwan did this entirely out of love for her younger brother Jiang Lang.

As Jiang Lang is Song Qiyuan's brother-in-law, Song Qiyuan naturally hopes that he can get what he wants.

In addition, judging from the current situation, the Minister of War is obviously very satisfied with the marriage with Jiang Lang, and has taken the initiative to make a request to Jiang Wanwan.

Therefore, the role played by Jiang Wanwan was just a person who went with the flow and helped both parties achieve this goal.

Besides, since Su Ran has agreed, it is his own choice. If he doesn't agree, Wanwan will not do anything to him.

Moreover, although Su Ran is talented, Song Qiyuan doesn't care about reputation as long as he can serve Daqing, just as he doesn't care about reputation. He is not afraid of other people's gossip and only favors Jiang Wanwan.

Song Qiyuan thought about all this indifferently, and did not feel that he had done anything wrong. He even felt that Su Wanran was being unreasonable and actually came to question him.

Ever since Jiang Wanwan knew that everything in the mansion was under the control of Song Qiyuan, she simply stopped acting and completely let herself go, just like she was acting recklessly without disguising herself in this matter.

"Aunt Wan, if you have anything to say, just tell me in private. How dare you just barge in and disturb the meal between me and the Marquis?"

Jiang Wanwan waved her hand, signaling the maids to clear the food off the table. She didn't care whether Song Qiyuan was full or not, what did it have to do with her?

Su Wanran said angrily, "Madam, what you said sounds nice. I was behaving myself in the backyard, but I didn't expect that Madam would not even give my brother a chance to live!"
