She couldn't help but feel happy for Xie Yian, and immediately looked at him and said, "Why not let Aunt Xie go tomorrow and propose marriage for you? That way she'll be happy too!"
Xie Yian thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "No, there is no place for me to stand in this Xie Mansion now, and Xue Qiuru and her son regard me as a thorn in their eyes.
I can still handle it alone, but if I let her marry in, Xue Qiuru will be my nominal stepmother anyway, and the word "filial piety" will give her plenty of opportunities to complain about her.
Being in the backyard, I naturally can't stay by her side all the time. I'm afraid Xue Qiuru will deal with her, and I don't want her to suffer this injustice! "
Xiao Jingchuan naturally understood his concerns, but this wasn't a long-term solution. He immediately looked at him and said, "Your concerns are not without reason, but you also know that Miss Jiang has reached marriage age now, and there are many people seeking marriage. If Jiang Mingxuan arranges a marriage for her, that's understandable. You'll probably regret it for the rest of your life."
Xie Yian narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he spoke weakly, "Let me think about it!"
No matter what, he was determined to get Jiang Shuya, so now he naturally had to plan carefully and give her a good life.
Looking at Xie Yian's drunken appearance, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes were filled with helplessness. He had never seen him look so worried before.
Thinking about himself from others' perspective, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Compared with Xie Yian's situation, his environment was even worse. Several princes were eyeing him covetously and staring at him closely. If he was not careful, he would fall into a desperate situation and be unable to extricate himself. Was what he did right or wrong?
After thinking for a long time, a glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes. If compared with Jiang Shan, he would choose Jiang Shuyu without hesitation. Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would protect her. If he didn't have her by his side in the future, what would be the point of him sitting in a high position? Since he was not afraid of his own life, why should he be afraid of anything else?
The two of them drank until the moon was high above the willows, and they were already drunk and unconscious. Yun Chi looked at the two of them staggering, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. If others saw these two decisive and ruthless people now drunk, they would probably be shocked!
Seeing that the two were about to continue drinking, Yun Chi hurriedly gave them some sobering soup, and then dragged them to the couch. Only then did he resigned himself to waiting outside the door. Looking at the moonlight that dyed the entire sky, which seemed so soft, Yun Chi dragged his chin helplessly with a resentful look in his eyes. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!
Yun Chi was not the only one who had a sleepless night. Yi Feng was in an even more miserable situation than Yun Chi. Looking at the thick stack of confessions in his hand, Yi Feng couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. He had never imagined that Jiang Hongtai's biological mother had such a strategy. If she hadn't died of illness, who knows who would be the Duke Dingguo now!
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Yifeng rushed towards the Duke Dingguo's Mansion without thinking too much.
At this time, in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Jiang Mingxuan watched Jiang Hongtai telling her heartfelt stories about his hardships over the years and how he risked his own life to save Jiang Mingxuan, but now he was being treated so unfairly. He cried bitterly.
Seeing that Jiang Mingxuan's eyes were already slightly relaxed, Jiang Shuyu narrowed her eyes slightly. She really didn't know that such a thing happened. But when she heard Jiang Hongtai say that he risked his own life and struggled to save Jiang Mingxuan, she couldn't believe it!
Could it be that the Jiang Hongtai she knew and the one who saved Jiang Mingxuan were not the same person? Thinking of Jiang Hongtai's cruelty in his previous life, Jiang Shuyu's eyes were full of murderous intent. She would not believe that Jiang Hongtai would hope that Jiang Mingxuan would be safe.
But it was Jiang Hongtai who brought him back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. If he had any bad intentions, Jiang Mingxuan would not have had the chance to survive until now. There must be some unspeakable secret here.
Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, wondering how to expose Jiang Hongtai's ugly face.
Jinshu quietly came to Jiang Shuyu, gently tugged at her sleeve, and then leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. Jiang Shuyu's eyes flashed with surprise.
Seeing Jiang Hongtai still relentlessly talking about his kindness to Jiang Mingxuan, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief and gently placed it on her cheek and coughed softly. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Hongtai and the other person, she looked at Yu Lan and whispered, "Take good care of the old lady. I'll be back soon!"
Knowing that if what Jinshu had just said was true, then Jiang Hongtai would definitely never be able to recover, Yu Lan naturally did not dare to be careless and distract Jiang Shuyu. She looked at Jiang Shuyu and said solemnly, "Don't worry, young lady, I'm here with the old lady! I will definitely not let her make any mistakes again."
Jiang Shuyu was naturally relieved about Yu Lan. Seeing Yu Lan nod in agreement, and then looking at the calm look of Old Madam Jiang, she took Jinshu out.
Yi Feng saw Jiang Shuyu coming over and hurried forward to bow and say: "This subordinate greets Miss Jiang."
Now his master has openly asked for Jiang Shuyu's hand in marriage. Although Emperor Shunqing has not yet granted the marriage between the two, since his master has already spoken, he naturally dare not be perfunctory towards Jiang Shuyu. He treats her with the same respect as he treats his master.
Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, then looked at Yifeng and asked, "Do you really have the secret of how Jiang Hongtai saved people?"
Jiang Shuyu naturally didn't notice the change in Yifeng's attitude, and continued as usual. However, Jinshu was clearly aware of the difference in Yifeng's behavior. You have to know that Yifeng, as the master's capable assistant, is naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Now that he has changed so much, he must be aware of the status of her daughter in King Jing's heart, and that's why he dared not look down on her anymore.
Listening to Jiang Shuyu's question, Yifeng hurriedly bowed and responded: "Miss Jiang, ever since Miss Jiang asked people to investigate Jiang Hongtai's whereabouts, the master has already asked people to check everything Jiang Hongtai has done in the past few years. It's really shocking!
Jiang Hongtai was so bold and reckless in private. Not only did he act tyrannically and seek profits secretly behind the Duke's back, he also had close contacts with His Royal Highness Prince Rui, secretly forming a clique and seeking many benefits for Prince Rui.
Jiang Hongtai's biological mother was once a close friend of Concubine Yuan's mother. The two had a close relationship. Yuan Peishan was able to marry Jiang Hongtai because Old Lady Yuan saw that Jiang Hongtai's biological mother had died early and was worried that Yuan Hongtai would be neglected, so she betrothed Yuan Peishan to Jiang Hongtai.
With Concubine Yuan backing him up, Jiang Hongtai and his wife would listen to Concubine Yuan's words and do things for her in private."
