If Empress Xie had not been deposed, Xiao Jingchuan would have been the rightful heir to the throne based on his status as the legitimate son. However, Empress Xie's reputation was damaged at the time, and Xiao Jingchuan was also implicated, leading to a great deal of controversy surrounding the succession.

Later, Empress Xie died and Xiao Jingchuan left Beijing, and the matter gradually came to nothing. With Xiao Jingchuan's departure, the princes below were naturally unwilling to accept the position. Even though court officials had come to see him many times, Emperor Shunqing still had no intention of appointing a crown prince.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly speculate on the emperor's mind, but there was no way to see through it. After all, the princes were all very outstanding in their own ways, so it was difficult to make a decision.

Now, among the princes, except for the eldest prince who has married a wife, the other princes have not yet decided on their marriages. Those who have daughters of similar age at home can't help but feel secretly happy, and hope that their daughters can marry into the royal family and have a bright future.

Thinking that Concubine Yuan's birthday banquet was coming soon, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but frown slightly, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. This time, Concubine Yuan's birthday banquet was actually a blind date banquet prepared in disguise for several princes!

Thinking about the fact that she was given the opportunity to marry Xiao Jinrui at this banquet in her previous life, Jiang Shuyu had an instinctive aversion to this banquet.

But she also knew that Xiao Jinrui wanted the military power in her father's hands, so he would not let her go easily. In her previous life, she was blind and infatuated with him, unable to see his wicked heart, which led to her tragic fate. Now that she came back from hell, she was determined to take revenge.

Then starting from this very beginning, she would let his ambition crumble bit by bit until it disappeared and shattered.

Jiang Shuyu was lost in thought and didn't hear Yu Lan's call at all.

Yu Lan called out twice, but when Jiang Shuyu didn't respond, she stepped forward, tugged at her sleeve, and said, "Miss, the second house is arguing again, and now it's even reached the old lady. The maid in the old lady's courtyard just said that they're giving her a headache!"

Jiang Shuyu recovered and frowned as she listened to Yu Lan's words. Then she looked at her and said, "What's the matter with Yuan Peishan for no reason?"

Listening to Jiang Shuyu's question, Yu Lan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to speak out, but knowing that this matter could not be concealed, he finally spoke slowly:

"Fang was divorced and had nowhere to go. The Second Master took pity on her being alone and helpless, so he bought her a house outside for her to live in, and also hired maids and servants to serve her. Fang announced to the outside world that she was the Second Madam of the Jiang Family.

When the second wife found out, she found a place to make a big scene. Fang was so angry that she came to the mansion to ask the old lady for help. Now the two of them are making a scene in the old lady's yard!

The old lady was so angry that she called the palace doctor, and ignored the old lady's instructions. The old woman was gossiping outside, and the servant heard it and came to tell the young lady! "Young lady, do you want to go and see what's going on?"

I think the old lady didn't let anyone inform the girl because she didn't want to pollute her ears with this dirty thing. But the old lady was old, how could she bear the tantrums of those two shrews?

Jiang Shuyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes. She had actually forgotten about this matter. She didn't expect that the two of them would bring the matter to the old lady. In this case, she would come and make arrangements for them.

"Where's Jiang Hongtai? Has he come back?"

"No! The sent Si reported back that Mr. Jiang was not found!" Yu Lan frowned and shook his head slightly.

"Humph! When something happens, he hides away and comes back after the problem is resolved. He's really calculating!"

Jiang Shuyu snorted coldly and spoke in a cold voice. Thinking of how in her previous life her entire Jiang family was executed, and her second branch stepped on the corpses of the first and third branches to ascend to the throne and enjoy prosperity, Jiang Shuyu could not suppress the anger in her eyes. This time she would let them experience the feeling of being stepped on by others.

Jiang Shuyu didn't delay any longer and quickly looked at Jinshu beside her and ordered, "Since we can't find Master Jiang Er, then send people to look for him loudly along the way. Find someone with a loud voice to shout along the streets, asking him to go home and deal with the trivial matters in the backyard. If he doesn't come back soon, I'm afraid there will be two dead!"

"One corpse, two lives? Miss, if this happens, won't the reputation of the Duke's Mansion be damaged? What will we do then if the Duke blames us?"

Jinshu looked at Jiang Shuyu worriedly. You know, although the Second Master was a concubine's son, the Duke trusted him very much. All the big and small matters in the mansion had to pass through the hands of the Second Master Jiang before reaching the Duke.

Now that such a scandal has happened, the girl doesn't want to hide it, but instead does the opposite and publicizes it with great fanfare. I'm afraid the girl will be punished.

Jiang Shuyu's lips curled up slightly, a hint of sarcasm on her face, and then she said calmly, "Although my reputation will be ruined, it's nothing compared to the lives of the entire Jiang family. As long as we can drive Jiang Hongtai out of the Dingguo Mansion, this little loss is nothing! Just go ahead and do it, and I'll take care of the rest!"

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Although Jinshu didn't know what Jiang Shuyu meant, she naturally didn't dare to neglect Jiang Shuyu's order and walked out immediately.

When Jiang Shuyu arrived at Old Madam Jiang's residence, she immediately looked at Yuan Peishan's furious expression. Fang was kneeling softly beside her, her rosy face forming a sharp contrast with Yuan Peishan's exasperated expression.

It can be seen that Fang has now adopted a desperate attitude. If she succeeds, she can enter the Jiang family. If not, she is not a member of the Jiang family. The Jiang family has no right to deal with her. This is a good calculation.

Jiang Shuyu came to Old Madam Jiang and saw that her eyes were slightly narrowed and her brows were furrowed. Nanny Wei was massaging her.

Jiang Shuyu's eyes darkened, and then she signaled Wei Ma to leave. She then gently massaged the acupuncture points for Old Madam Jiang. Feeling a little comfortable, Old Madam Jiang opened her eyes slightly.

Seeing Jiang Shuyu in front of her, a smile flashed in her eyes. Then, thinking of the current situation of Guiyan Hall, she couldn't help but frowned and looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "Why are you here, Yu'er?"

Jiang Shuyu smiled slightly, then looked at Old Madam Jiang calmly and said, "I heard that Grandmother invited the court doctor to come. Yu'er is studying medicine with Doctor Xu, so I thought of coming to take a look. I never thought that Guiyan Hall would be so lively.

Grandmother, your Qi is stagnant and turning into fire, and your Qi and blood are being consumed severely. This state will also cause Qi and blood to attack your heart. Grandmother, you must protect your body and not worry about trivial things! It will not be worth it! "
