On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent

Jiang Nian stood at the door and bowed slightly: "Greetings to Grandmother."

Mrs. Jiang was delighted and quickly went forward to take her hand and sit down.

"Sister Nian, you said the matter is resolved? Really?"

"Of course it's true. The matter is urgent. My granddaughter went to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in person. The couple decided not to sue. My second brother should be released soon."

Madam Jiang quickly asked, "Didn't they say he'd been thrown into jail? Why didn't you file a complaint?"

"They are just ordinary people. How can they be so bold? A few threats and some money will scare them out of their wits. Naturally, they won't bother to sue."

"Okay, okay! Sister Nian is really capable."

The family had thought of this method before, but the couple just wouldn't agree.

"Then...this matter won't affect your second brother's studies, right?"

Hearing this, Feng forgot to cry and felt panic in her heart.

"Aunt, I have something to say to my grandmother. Aunt has been tired these days, so you should go back first."

Feng was unwilling to give in. She looked at Jiang Nian as if she wanted to tear her tendons and skin her alive.

Madam Jiang also said, "Sister Nian is right. You should go back first."

As soon as Feng left, Jiang Nian took Madam Jiang's arm and said with a smile, "Grandma and your granddaughter really think alike. In order to rescue my second brother, I even went to the academy on purpose. Guess what?"

"The academy said that my second brother has not been there for a long time because he got into a fight with someone there and was expelled last year."

"Impossible!" Old Madam Jiang's first reaction was disbelief.

Although Mingsheng is not as good at studying as Mingyuan, he is also studious. He usually stays in the academy and rarely goes home. It can be seen that he is an ambitious person.

Last time he said that he would go to visit his teacher, study hard, and take the imperial examination in the future to honor her.

"Grandmother, you don't believe me? You can ask the teacher at the academy. I originally wanted them to testify for him so they could get him out of jail quickly. But they told me about this. The teacher also said that my second brother hasn't studied properly since he entered the academy. When he left, he even boasted that the family had enough money to give to the shop. Grandmother, when did you give the shop to my second brother?"

"What?" Old Madam Jiang couldn't accept it for a moment.

"That's not all. This isn't the first time my second brother has raped a woman. I heard he committed a crime with the son of the Shangshu family last time and was even jailed for a few days. Do you remember anything about that?"

Old Madam Jiang's heart sank.

Of course I remember that it was Mid-Autumn Festival and Jiang Mingsheng couldn't go home. Feng said that he was called away by the young master of the Shangshu Mansion.

The academy that Jiang Mingsheng attended was full of aristocratic families, so it was only natural for him to teach some noble friends. At that time, Old Lady Jiang was overwhelmed by the words "Young Master of the Shangshu Mansion" and did not ask anything.

Is that so?

When the Shangshu Mansion took their son away, Jiang Mingsheng was left unattended and had to stay in jail for several days.

But he never changes his bad habits.

Madam Jiang still couldn't believe it. At this moment, the maid outside hurriedly reported: "Madam, the people from Wangchun Tower are here."

"What did you say?"

Who in the capital doesn't know Wangchunlou? It's a favorite place for playboys and young men.

"Who are you? What do you want to say?"

"It was a servant who came and said... he was here to collect a debt..."

"What's the bill?"

The maid stammered, "They said...the man said...that the second young master owed eighty taels of silver to Wangchun Tower and hadn't paid it yet, so he sent someone to collect it."

This time, Mrs. Jiang believed it completely.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Evil creature, evil creature! Go, find Feng!"

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it’s time for Jiang Nian to leave.

"Grandma, calm down. This matter...I'm afraid I'll have to call Auntie here to explain it clearly. I also need to ask the Princess's Mansion. If Her Highness finds out, there will be no room for maneuver."

Madam Jiang's heart skipped a beat. If the princess knew about this, it would mean that her family had failed in parenting. "Okay, since you're a steady person, I'll leave this matter to you."

Coming out of Shou'an Hall, Jiang Nian ran into Concubine Liu and greeted her politely, "Concubine Liu, where are you going?"

"Oh, the old lady said her knees were cold a few days ago, so I made a pair of knee pads and was about to send them to her."

"Auntie, you are so thoughtful. Auntie Feng has upset Grandmother today and she is feeling upset. Please send the things over and go back. Don't disturb Grandmother's rest."

Aunt Liu's eyes flickered slightly: "I understand."

Aunt Liu walked into Shou'an Hall with the knee pads. Before she entered the house, she heard noises from inside.

Old Madam Jiang was losing her temper, and Feng was kneeling on the ground, covering her face, not daring to say a word.

"You're so bold now that you even dare to lie to me. Have you grown so powerful in the Jiang family that you think an old woman like me is blocking your way?"

Feng burst into tears: "Aunt, no, I did it all for Sheng'er. He is just like that. I gave him the shop just to find him a job. And when he got into trouble before, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. Aunt, Sheng'er already knows he was wrong..."

Aunt Liu didn't ask what was going on, but just handed the things in her hand to Mama Zhang who was guarding outside.

"I won't go in. Please ask Mother Zhang to bring this to the old lady later and say that I made it myself. I hope the old lady won't mind."

After handing the knee pad to Mother Zhang, Aunt Liu turned around and left Shou'an Hall without any hesitation.

Madam Jiang was furious and stared at her coldly, "Now that things have come to this, I won't pursue the things you did in the past. However, it's not appropriate for you to be the head of the household from now on. From today on, you will hand over the reins of the household and you are not allowed to step out of Haitang Courtyard without my permission!"

Feng was shocked and felt very disappointed.

The old lady actually wants to take away her power as the head of the family!

In just a few days, she was about to lose her power as the head of the household, and instead, the bitch Jiang Nian caught the eyes of the old lady and the master. This was clearly not what they said when Jiang Nian just came back.

She fell from the clouds into the quagmire, while Jiang Nian won the favor of the master and the old lady. She had managed the household in an orderly manner for so many years without making any mistakes. Why should it be ruined by a bitch? Why!

"Come here, invite Feng back to the courtyard."

As soon as he finished speaking, two maids came in and pulled Feng out.

As soon as Mrs. Feng left, Mrs. Zhang came in.

"Old lady, calm down. The matter has been resolved. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"Turning misfortune into good fortune? Humph, what kind of good fortune is this?"

Having offended the princess's mansion, and with the second young master of the mansion having done something like this, the Feng mother and son are simply jinxes.

Mother Zhang was helping to calm him down: "Don't get too angry and make yourself sick. Don't we still have the eldest son and daughter? Maybe there will be a chance for things to turn around."

After saying that, she suddenly remembered the things that Liu had sent, and quickly took them out and said with a smile, "Old Madam, this is the knee pad that Concubine Liu just sent. She said she saw that your knees were afraid of the cold, so she made this. She made it herself. Take a look."

Old Madam Jiang looked over and saw that it was indeed a good job.

"She didn't come in?"

“He reached the courtyard, and seeing that there was someone in the house, he did not come in. He gave this to the servant and left.”

Madam Jiang nodded with satisfaction: "That's a rule."

Madam Jiang took a sip of tea and asked Mother Zhang, "It's not appropriate to put the power of the household in Feng's hands now. What do you think of Sister Nian?"

Mother Zhang didn't know how to respond. The eldest daughter had just returned home, so it was obviously inappropriate. But seeing how the eldest daughter handled things these days, she did have the demeanor of a mistress of the house.

"Wouldn't it be better to leave the housekeeping power in the hands of the old lady?"

"I'm old and don't want to worry about that. I'll let the younger people in my family handle it."

As he spoke, he looked at the knee pads on the table.
