Chapter 35 Jiang Yanhu
With a plan in mind, Nanny Zhang immediately asked Chuntao to call a servant over.
"Go back to the mansion and report to the Madam, telling her not to worry too much. The Second Miss's words and deeds are rude and vulgar, and she is not worthy of being in a refined room. Although she has more ideas now, they are all tricks that are not worthy of being in a decent room."
"Also, take these two pages back to Madam, and she will know the answer at a glance."
The servant took it and put it away carefully: "Yes."
Hongying couldn't help but say, "But aunt, the second young lady did copy the scriptures for the princess before..."
Nanny Zhang thought for a moment and said, "There may be another reason for this. Think about it carefully. She has no one to teach her, no books to read, and no pen, ink, paper, or inkstone to practice with. How could she possibly know the long-lost seal script you mentioned?"
Nanny Zhang's question left Hongying speechless for a moment.
After all, she has been following Shen Shuyi for the past few years. Although she has not served her wholeheartedly, she has been keeping an eye on her movements.
Shen Shuyi can barely make a living, so how could he write beautiful calligraphy for no reason?
"I think she must have found a way by consulting a master or by chance. Or, the scripture might not have been written by her, but a sample book she got from somewhere."
Nanny Zhang analyzed the situation very seriously and didn't think Shen Shuyi really had that ability.
Hongying frowned, feeling uneasy.
But if she was asked to explain, she really couldn't say it...
"Well, don't worry. Look at her usual behavior. Although she hasn't made any major mistakes, many of her actions do not strictly follow etiquette. If Madam wants to punish her, you can take this opportunity to send someone to teach her the rules."
Nanny Zhang said this, and then looked at the servant and said, "Tell the Madam that in my opinion, the Second Miss urgently needs to hire two maids to teach her the rules, so as not to lose face for the Shangshu Mansion."
"Yes."
After the servant left, a hint of coldness flashed in Nanny Zhang's eyes.
The nanny she was talking about was naturally not a servant like her, but a retired nanny in the palace. Miss World would often invite these old ladies in the palace to teach them the rules.
However, whether the teaching is strict or not depends on the attitude of the host family.
Madam has always regarded Shen Shuyi as a thorn in her side, so naturally she would not miss this opportunity.
There will be something fun to watch then.
What young lady and master, don’t you still have to respect Aunt Zhang?

After Shen Shuyi closed the door, he asked Yuping to make another pot of tea.
She sat on the couch, poured two cups of tea, and said softly, "A guest is a guest, why don't you come out and have a gathering?"
Yuping was stunned for a few seconds, and the next moment, she saw the young man falling from the beam.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes and looked at the man. The boy had a slightly dark complexion, strong features, and was quite handsome. Although he was not very old, he was particularly silent and upright, and had a youthful chivalrous spirit.
"Is Mr. Jiang's injury okay?" Shen Shuyi asked in a gentle voice.
That’s right, the person who came was not someone else, but Jiang Lian’s brother Jiang Li.
"Thank you for saving me, young lady. How did you know I was hiding here?" The young man looked at Shen Shuyi in front of him with burning eyes, sizing her up.
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Before in the courtyard, you tried to lead the two servants away. Seeing that they did not leave, I guessed that you would wait for me in the room."
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then continued, "Thanks to Miss Shen for saving Jiang Lian and me that day, I came here today to express my gratitude. If Miss Shen has anything to ask for, I will do my best."
Shen Shuyi looked straight at Jiang Li with her almond-shaped eyes and fell into deep thought.
She is really moved...
That’s right, after all, she has no one available now, and the young man in front of her is obviously a good choice.
But doing so would seem like repaying a favor, which would go against the original intention.
Shen Shuyi sighed and said softly, "I have no other request. If Mr. Jiang's injury has almost recovered, you should take Jiang Lian away as soon as possible."
Jiang Li was stunned for a few seconds and remained silent for a while: "I can't leave."
Shen Shuyi paused for a few seconds and looked at the young man in front of him carefully again. However, this time, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Without waiting for her to speak, Jiang Li knelt on the ground, looked at Shen Shuyi and said, "I would like to entrust Jiang Lian to you, young lady. In return, I am willing to do three things for you."
Shen Shuyi said nothing, staring at the boy's thin face, as if thinking about something.
She didn't say anything and Jiang Li didn't stand up.
Time passed by minute by minute, and after a while, Shen Shuyi asked, "Who is Jiang Yanhu to you?"
The next moment, the boy's pupils constricted, and he looked up suddenly at Shen Shuyi, his calm eyes tinged with red.
Yes, it turns out his last name is not Jiang but Jiang.
Jiang Li held the hilt of the sword in one hand, his eyes were bloodshot, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he stared at Shen Shuyi like a wild beast, as if struggling over whether he should draw the sword.
How could she know?
He checked her identity. She was a legitimate daughter who was excluded from the Shangshu Mansion...
Jiang Li knew that he should kill her to silence her, otherwise, he would be killed sooner or later.
But, she saved her own life and Jiang Lian's life.
Shen Shuyi's eyes swept across the boy's knuckles. His fingers were pressed tightly on the hilt of the sword, and his fingertips were white, as if he was trying his best to restrain and forbear.
Shen Shuyi was waiting, waiting for him to make his own decision.
Yuping held her breath as she watched this scene, and subconsciously moved closer to Shen Shuyi, trying to protect her.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze and no one spoke.
After a long time, Jiang Li slowly lowered his hand from the hilt of the sword. He stood up silently, still looking at Shen Shuyi with vigilance and caution: "How did you know?"
Shen Shuyi ignored the wariness in his eyes, stood up and walked to the window.
In order to prevent the servants outside from peeping, the window was only opened a crack, but even so, she could still see the bright moonlight outside.
But unlike the tranquility now, the border area has always been difficult.
Not to mention the blood and gore that goes on all the time, but there is no peace either.
Jiang Yanhu was a famous general guarding the border. He had outstanding military achievements and was deeply loved by the people in the border areas.
But seven years ago, something unexpected happened.
In a battle led by Jiang Yanhu, the entire army was annihilated. Daqian lost a full 100,000 soldiers and suffered heavy casualties. 100,000 soldiers were killed and blood flowed like a river.
Commander Jiang Yanhu disappeared until the court sent people to investigate, during which they found evidence of his treason and treason, as well as a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.
At the same time, two of his confidants provided evidence to prove that Jiang Yanhu had indeed secretly communicated with the enemy country's messenger before the war, thus completely confirming his guilt.
At this point, public resentment was boiling and Emperor Qianwu was furious, so he ordered the Jiang family to be confiscated and exterminated.
The once famous border guard general fell in this way, but Jiang Yanhu was a righteous man, and his subordinates and many colleagues were particularly convinced of him.
For this reason, several people jointly wrote a letter to Emperor Qianwu, requesting a reinvestigation of the case.
However, due to the wide range of involvement, Emperor Qianwu did not re-investigate the case. Instead, several people were punished and demoted one after another.
