Chapter 197 Persuading Aunt Wei
Aunt Wei continued to pass the handkerchief, her face expressionless, "I don't understand what the young lady means."
Jiang Wansang certainly knew whether she really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, so she didn't expose her.
"Mrs. Wei has already lived almost half her life, and she can live the rest of it with clarity. What about him?"
Jiang Wansang turned to look at Jiang Yanzhu, who was standing quietly beside him, and spoke slowly, "He's only ten years old now, and he still has a lot of time in the future."
"I can't read or write, I can't learn a skill, and I can't even behave like a normal person."
"Does Aunt Wei want him to just live like this?"
Jiang Wansang could see how much Aunt Wei valued her only son. Everything she did cautiously was just for the sake of the child.
So when she heard Jiang Wansang's words, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Yanzhu.
She had actually thought about this question a long time ago.
But she is not like Meng Lianshu and Liu, who have the support of her natal family, and she does not have any great abilities. She really does not know what other way out she has except the current situation.
Aunt Wei actually understood why Jiang Wansang said these words to her, but she didn't think she could do anything to help her.
Jiang Wansang has the support of Master Pei behind him, and he himself is very powerful, which is completely beyond her reach.
If she got involved in those things, she was afraid that her and Xiaoyan's current life would be disrupted.
But Xiaoyan is Jiang Gaoyuan's only son. No matter whether the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion is good or bad, he cannot escape responsibility.
Jiang Wansang noticed the hesitation and vacillation in her expression and chose not to continue.
"Madam Wei, please think about it carefully. If you have thought it through, it won't be too late to give me this handkerchief."
At that time, the handkerchief no longer represented a return gift, but surrender.
Jiang Wansang nodded, turned and left, giving them enough time to think about it.
With no outsiders around, Jiang Yanzhu finally walked up to Aunt Wei and held her hand.
He was no longer a child. He could understand the conversation between the eldest lady and the aunt just now, and he also knew that the aunt's hesitation and vacillation were all because of him.
Aunt Wei came back to her senses, took his hand and squatted down, "Xiaoyan, do you want to study?"
"No." Jiang Yanzhu answered simply, "I just want to be with my aunt for the rest of my life. I don't want anything else."
He knew how difficult it was for them and their son to survive in the prime minister's residence, so he asked for nothing. It was enough as long as his aunt could stay by his side.
How could Aunt Wei not know what the child she raised was thinking? She couldn't help but feel sad and her eyes turned red.
She was useless. She brought the child into this world but couldn't give him a good future. She even made him act stupid outside since he was young, and was bullied and looked down upon.
She had clearly seen the desire in Xiaoyan's eyes when she saw the young master reading.
The eldest lady was right. She could live the rest of her life like this, but Xiaoyan couldn't.
His life shouldn't be wasted because he was trapped in this small side yard and couldn't even live a normal life.
Maybe she really should think about Xiaoyan.
Aunt Wei's heart wavered again, but she still hadn't made up her mind.
Because she and Xiaoyan have no way out, they must be extremely cautious in making any choice.
After the commotion some time ago, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion became quiet, even Jiang Zihan rarely went out.
After all, something like that happened. Although her innocence was preserved, her reputation was ruined.
Now we can only wait for time to pass and for people to gradually forget the rumors.
Jiang Gaoyuan has also become much more honest and no longer puts on the mask of being humble and indifferent to fame and fortune from time to time.
No one knew how Su Huanyu operated, but Jiang Gaoyuan was soon released from house arrest and returned to the court. The emperor never mentioned those things again, but instead handed the matter of the Spring Examination over to him.
A long time ago, the emperor agreed to entrust the affairs of the Spring Examination to Pei Zhanzhou, but now he has inserted Jiang Gaoyuan into the task.
If you say he has no other intentions, even a fool wouldn't believe it.
The Spring Examination is the only way and opportunity for students from poor families to rise to the top, and it is also the opportunity for many powerful people to place their own people in the court. Therefore, every time this time comes, all forces become restless.
As the highest-ranking official, Pei Zhanzhou is naturally very busy.
He chose to take on this matter because he had promised Chen Jing, the scholar from Jianzhou who brought a blood letter signed by ten thousand people to the imperial city to file a complaint.
Chen Jing is a stubborn and fearless person. He is a talented and passionate scholar.
The reason why he agreed to help Pei Zhanzhou lie and identify the people who escorted him from Jianzhou to the imperial city as the seventh prince's men was because Pei Zhanzhou promised him that he would make this year's spring examination a truly fair and just one.
Pei Zhanzhou seems cold and heartless, but he actually values his promises very much and will certainly not go back on his word.
Moreover, the fairness and justice of the Spring Examination was guaranteed. Neither the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, nor Su Huanyu could continue to place their own people in the court. Pei Zhanzhou was of course happy to do it.
Jiang Wansang knew he was busy, so she didn't bother him and turned around to continue working on Shisanying's affairs.
The book did not mention what was different about this Spring Examination. With Pei Zhanzhou's ability, he would definitely be able to handle it, so she did not pay much attention to it.
Although some noises about the Spring Examination could be heard occasionally, they were quickly suppressed by Pei Zhanzhou with thundering means, and nothing special happened.
It is precisely for this reason that this year's Spring Examination has become the one with the largest number of students from poor families on the list in the past ten years.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the reason, and with Jiang Wansang's encouragement, Pei Zhanzhou's reputation in the imperial city soared.
Such a movement naturally could not be hidden from Pei Zhanzhou.
He has been in Nansu for so many years, fought on the battlefield, confronted court officials, and left a reputation for being violent and cold-blooded.
He never cared about these things, nor did he think they would help his revenge.
As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care even if he is recorded in history and infamous for eternity.
But now seeing someone plotting for their own fame, it feels...
not bad!
Pei Zhanzhou suddenly felt an urge in his heart, and he wanted to see Jiang Wansang right now.
Thinking so, he did so.
He specially asked the kitchen to prepare a plate of pastries, put it in a food box and took it to Tingsang Pavilion himself.
Jiang Wansang really likes the pastries made by the chef in the Imperial Master's Mansion. They are soft and sticky, just like small cakes, and are especially suitable as snacks to satisfy your cravings.
So every time Jiang Wansang went to the Imperial Master's Mansion, he would specially ask the chef to make one.
What even Jiang Wansang didn't know was that Pei Zhanzhou had specifically instructed that the chef would no longer be responsible for other foods and only need to concentrate on researching pastries.
What Pei Zhanzhou brought today is the chef’s latest new product.
At this time, Jiang Wansang had just finished washing up and was lying on the couch reading a book. He was just craving something when he smelled a fragrance.
She turned around and saw Pei Zhanzhou standing at the door with the food box in his hand already opened. A tempting aroma wafted out of it.
Jiang Wansang rushed over like a gust of wind, "Oh my, Master Imperial Master, why are you here if you want to? Why are you bringing gifts?"
She said this, but her hand took the food box without any delay.
