At this time, the forgotten Jiang Wan was carried out by Cheng Bingwen.

"..."

Jiang Xiaochuan felt his eyes go dark and he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it.

What is all this!

At this moment, Jiang Yao also saw it and exclaimed, "Jiang Wan? Why are you here?"

Jiang Wan came down from Cheng Bingwen's arms, her lips curled up, "Sister, where should I be?"

Jiang Yao was instantly choked up, and could only sigh that Jiang Wan was lucky. She had clearly arranged for several thugs to wait for her, but she let her escape.

Jiang Wan asked quietly, "Could it be that Sister has made some other plans?"

Looking at Jiang Yao's stupid look, I'm afraid she didn't even notice her own Chinese medicine.

Jiang Yao felt a little nervous after hearing what she said, and glared at her unwillingly. Even if she had planned it, didn't Jiang Wan fall for it?

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at the two wet people, his face darkening: "Cheng Xiuzhuan? This..."

Cheng Bingwen bowed to him and said, "Just now I saw the Second Young Lady fall into the water, and none of the servants came to rescue her. I had no choice but to jump in and save her."

Then he looked at Jiang Wan again: "Although it was well-intentioned, it also damaged the Second Young Lady's reputation. I can take responsibility for it, but if the Second Young Lady doesn't want to, I can naturally make up for it in other ways."

After hearing this, he felt a little guilty, but he didn't know that his second daughter had also fallen into the water. If he had known, he would never have done that.

After comforting himself, Jiang Xiaochuan stroked his beard and thought.

But Jiang Yao immediately stepped forward and hugged his legs: "Dad, you let Jiang Wan marry him, you let Jiang Wan marry him..."

Although Jiang Wan escaped the disaster, she also lost her reputation. Jiang Wan had to marry him. Moreover, Cheng Bingwen was of low status and was Song Qinian's cousin. Wouldn't this be better? She didn't believe that Song Qinian, a great general of the cavalry, would be with Jiang Wan.

In this case, how could Jiang Wan compare to the nobility of herself, the prince's concubine?

"Nonsense!" Jiang Xiaochuan shouted angrily after hearing Jiang Yao's words.

Mrs. Jiang also stepped forward at this time, looked at Jiang Yao disapprovingly, and signaled her not to speak again.

"Dad! If Jiang Wan doesn't marry him, who will marry her if this gets out?"

After Jiang Yao's words, no one spoke.

Jiang Wan was too lazy to go up and argue with her.

Jiang Xiaochuan secretly glanced at Cheng Bingwen.

He was the top scholar two years ago, and now he is an editor in the Hanlin Academy. In a few years, I am afraid he will reach a higher level.

If I look for another lover alone, I am afraid he may not be as good as the one in front of me.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaochuan nodded seriously and looked at Jiang Wan: "What do you think, Xiao Wan?"

Jiang Wan lowered her head and clutched her clothes tightly: "It's all up to father."

Seeing that she didn't object, Jiang Xiaochuan sighed: "Forget it, this is the only way now. Pick a day and come to your house."

Jiang Xiaochuan felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He would have someone fill up this damn pond tomorrow.

After saying that, Jiang Yao was the first to laugh out loud in excitement, and glanced at Jiang Wan provocatively.

Jiang Wan: "..."

nerve.

Cheng Bingwen glanced at Jiang Yao, who seemed to be mentally unstable, then knelt on one knee and bowed to Jiang Xiaochuan and Madam Jiang: "My nephew understands."

Mrs. Jiang, who was standing by, just glanced at Jiang Wan silently and left with Jiang Yao.

.........

Second day

News from Beijing

The eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion was chosen as the prince's concubine, and the second daughter was also engaged to the newcomer in the court, Cheng Xiuzhuan.

The betrothal gifts have been paid, and she will be married off together with her elder sister in three months.

For a moment, everyone was talking about it.

Some say that Jiang Xiaochuan is lucky and both of his daughters married well. Those who know the inside story just smile, but they are also puzzled as to why the second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion would also marry together.

When Li Huaijin and Pei Jingyang heard the news, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Pei Jingyang paced anxiously in the room: "No, I'll go there."

If that kid Qinian knew about this, he would definitely kill Cheng Bingwen when he got back.

After saying that, he left regardless of Li Huaijin's calls.

Li Huaijin shook his head helplessly and sat down to think. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

At the residence of Song Taifu

When Fan Yin heard this, she slammed the table and stood up: "Impossible!"

She couldn't believe it and couldn't accept that her son and nephew were involved with the same woman.

Pei Jingyang sighed helplessly: "Aunt, you should go and stop them quickly, otherwise what will happen when Qi Nian comes back?"

Fan Yin's eyes flickered slightly, and she frowned and said, "A woman like this, fickle and fickle, cannot be with Bingwen, let alone be entangled with Qinian!"

She knew her son's personality and knew he would definitely not be influenced by that woman.

Pei Jingyang jumped up immediately when he heard this. The purpose of his coming here was to ask her for help, not to separate the two of them.

Then he continued to persuade her earnestly, but Fan Yin acted as if that was just the kind of person she was, which made Pei Jingyang feel helpless.

"..."

"Auntie, let's leave it like this for now. Please don't do anything rash."

Seeing that her approach wasn't working, Pei Jingyang gave her some instructions and left in a hurry.

After he left, Fan Yin immediately sent someone to prepare a carriage.

She wanted to see what kind of person could be related to her son and nephew. Could it be a fairy?

However, when she saw Jiang Wan, Fan Yin fell silent.

As for her appearance... she does look like a fairy. If it weren't for what she did, she might have looked up to her, but her behavior was not commendable.

After all, she had already promised. This man had been neglected by his parents since he was a child, so he must have been attracted by the status of her son and nephew.

So she said directly: "I will not agree to you marrying Bingwen."

Jiang Wan smiled faintly: "Then who does Auntie want me to marry? General Song?"

Fan Yin was shocked by her bold words. When she came to her senses, she slammed the table in anger: "You're dreaming!"

"aunt!"

Cheng Bingwen hurried to the teahouse, opened the door and interrupted the two of them.

Seeing him rushing over, Fan Yin knew exactly what he was thinking. She frowned, "Bingwen, you came here specifically to find this woman? Are you afraid I'll bully her?"

Although she disliked this woman, she would not do anything to bully others by taking advantage of her power.

"There are so many noble ladies in the capital, which one I choose wouldn't be better than her?"

Cheng Bingwen sighed: "Aunt, my nephew has already made an engagement."

Fan Yin paused. She naturally knew what was going on, which was why she was so angry. Her nephew, whom she had watched grow up, got engaged without discussing it with her, his aunt. It was obvious that he was bewitched by this woman.

Seeing this, Cheng Bingwen lifted his robe and knelt down in front of her: "Aunt, please grant me your blessing!"

Fan Yin paused, seeing his resolute attitude, and felt very disappointed: "Bingwen, your sister left a long time ago, leaving behind a child like you. How can you make her feel at ease like this?"

He just lowered his head and said nothing.

Fan Yin was angry because of Jiang Wan. If her nephew had not been so obedient, he would never have disobeyed her like this.

Thinking of this, he pushed Jiang Wan away.

clang

Something fell from her.
