Chapter 131 Aunt Zhou’s Reminder
The person who came was a woman who looked about the same age as Meng Lianshu. Although she was not dressed like a servant in the mansion, she was dressed simply and cleanly, with only a simple silver hairpin on her head. She looked somewhat familiar.
Jiang Wansang thought about it in the original owner's mind for a while, then remembered that this was a concubine of the second uncle of the Jiang family.
Uncle Jiang's second uncle was named Jiang Gongcheng. He was usually a bit addicted to alcohol and women, but he had an elder brother who was the prime minister to look after him. In addition to Liu, he had only two concubines in his backyard.
One of them is Jiang Xiaodie’s biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and the other is Aunt Zhou, who is like an invisible person in the mansion, and is the woman who is blocking Jiang Wansang’s way.
Jiang Wansang took a quick look at the person in front of her. Not sensing any ill will from him, she asked, "What does Aunt Zhou want to talk to me about?"
Aunt Zhou looked around and whispered, "Miss, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
Jiang Wansang didn't respond, but just looked at her in confusion.
Aunt Zhou had little presence in the Prime Minister's Mansion and had almost no interaction with the original owner, but she could remember her immediately because Aunt Zhou had done something that caused a sensation in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu from the second house was hot-tempered and jealous. She was particularly dissatisfied with Concubine Zhou, who was pretty and came from a brothel, and targeted her in every way, both openly and covertly.
Later, perhaps because she was tired of being targeted, Aunt Zhou chose a time when everyone was paying their respects to Old Madam Jiang, and she broke into the main courtyard holding a bowl of infertility soup.
She drank the heir-killing soup in front of everyone, and knelt in front of Liu and swore that she only wanted a place to live with food and shelter for the rest of her life, and would never compete with Liu for favor and power. If Liu still could not tolerate her, she would go to the moat and jump into the river to commit suicide.
Since she had said so much, Liu naturally could not continue to target her. She even trusted her more than Aunt Zhao because of her act of cutting off her own children.
Jiang Wansang felt that Aunt Zhou was much smarter than most women in the world, as she was able to transform from a brothel girl with an uncertain future to a concubine of an official with a stable life.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, she took Aunt Zhou into Tingsang Pavilion.
Now everyone in Tingsang Pavilion is hers, and the inner courtyard is a place that ordinary people cannot enter, so it is very convenient to discuss anything.
After coming in, Jiang Wansang did not ask Aunt Zhou what she wanted to say, but asked someone to serve tea and treated her as a guest.
In the original owner's memory, there were only two people in the entire prime minister's residence who had never bullied the original owner, and one of them was this concubine Zhou. Sometimes, when they met on the street, she would even take the initiative to greet the original owner with a smile.
So Jiang Wansang did not treat her with the same attitude as he treated other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although Aunt Zhou usually stayed in her own yard and never left the house, she had recently heard a lot about Jiang Wansang's "glorious deeds", and even Old Lady Jiang's yard was not spared.
I had thought that she wouldn't be in a good mood towards me, and I had prepared myself mentally, but I didn't expect that she would ask someone to serve me tea. My tense mood immediately relaxed a little.
Aunt Zhou didn't keep the topic secret and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I came here today to remind the young lady to be careful."
Although she knew no one would eavesdrop, she subconsciously lowered her voice. "Yesterday, I accidentally ran into the Third Miss and the Second Miss in the garden, discussing their engagement with the Seventh Prince..."
Having said this, she suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Wansang cautiously.
There was no change in the latter's expression, as if the three people she had just mentioned had nothing to do with her.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhou continued, "The Third Miss said that the Seventh Prince sent someone to secretly meet with her two days ago. He said he wanted her to help pass on a message and asked the Second Miss to meet at the West City Inn at 3:00 PM on the tenth day of the lunar month."
Although Jiang Zihan and Su Huanyu's engagement has been recorded in the Ministry of Household Affairs, they are not married after all. If they meet in a place like an inn, they will probably be drowned in spit.
What's more, Su Huanyu is still under house arrest because he used the marriage contract to "harass" Jiang Wansang, an unmarried woman, at the back door of the prime minister's residence.
He invited Jiang Zihan to the inn at this time. Could something big have happened?
Jiang Wansang was puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face. She just looked at Aunt Zhou curiously, "This is a matter between them. Why are you telling me this, Aunt Zhou?"
If the original owner was still alive and her heart and eyes were filled with Su Huanyu, this news might be useful to her.
But her only thought about Su Huanyu now is to kill him. Her disdain and disgust are also well known to the outside world. It is impossible that Aunt Zhou stays indoors all the time and doesn't know her current attitude towards Su Huanyu, right?
Concubine Zhou, obviously aware of this, replied, "I know that the eldest young lady has now come to her senses and doesn't care about this marriage, so I had no intention of confronting her about this matter. At the time, I was cornered and wanted to wait until they left before leaving, but after the second young lady left, I overheard the conversation between the third young lady and the maid."
Her expression grew a bit more serious, clearly reflecting the key point. "Actually, the person who invited the Second Miss to the West City Inn wasn't the Seventh Prince, but the person behind the Third Miss."
She spoke out everything in a deep voice: "The Third Miss, under that man's orders, not only made an appointment with the Second Miss, but also planned to use the Second Miss's name to make an appointment with the Seventh Prince, and... you, the Eldest Miss."
Jiang Xiaodie wasn't stupid, so she certainly wouldn't shout about something like this. But she was clearly in a bad mood, so she complained to her personal maid, "This Jiang Zihan is a self-righteous fool who's easily taken in. The Seventh Prince also has...helping to arrange things, but Jiang Wansang is a stubborn lunatic. How can I get her to the West City Inn?"
She didn't say anything else, but Aunt Zhou was not stupid and could guess the general idea from this sentence.
Jiang Wansang didn't expect that she had something to do with this.
Why does she feel like she is being watched? Everything can be linked to her!
Inviting three people involved in a marriage to the inn doesn't seem like a good thing at all.
I just don’t know which of the three of them the person behind this wants to deal with, and why he wants to go after Jiang Xiaodie?
Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Wansang's mind, and the hand holding the teacup unconsciously stroked the rim of the cup.
Aunt Zhou saw that she was thinking, so she didn't interrupt her. Instead, she sat there quietly sipping tea.
She hasn't had such good tea for many years.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Wansang's voice suddenly rang out: "Why did Aunt Zhou tell me this?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Aunt Zhou is a person who "just wants to spend her old age in peace and doesn't want to get involved in any trouble." In the book, she is just mentioned as "one of the concubines" when introducing Jiang Gongcheng, the second uncle of the Jiang family.
Why would someone with such an insignificant sense of existence come to tell me this news that "will definitely cause a lot of trouble once I hear it"?
