After rebirth, the yandere enemy pinches the waist and pets
【18】Marriage by proxy
The young woman was quickly invited into the front hall of the Jiang Mansion and sat down. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced around, then half-turned to her maid and said, "Fortunately, my son is fine. If not, I would have made the Jiang family die with him! Even if he is the richest man in the world, what good would it do? He has no one to rely on in the court, and he can't be manipulated at will!"
There was sarcasm in her tone, and it was obvious that she looked down on him.
Furthermore, the Jiang family was so glorious in the past. The eldest son was the Great Marshal Fuhu, and the eldest daughter-in-law was the General Fuling Cavalry under his command. Everyone had to be polite to them.
However, ever since the eldest son and his wife died in battle in the isolated city, the Jiang family lost their support in the court.
Otherwise, the second branch would not have tried every possible means and spared no expense to establish a marriage relationship with the Minister Gu's family.
"Who do you want to be buried with you?"
Old Lady Jiang, leaning on a carved rosewood cane and supported by her maid, slowly walked into the front hall and happened to hear these inappropriate words.
"Of course I'm talking about your Jiang family! Just a bunch of merchants... their death is not a pity!"
The young woman's personal maid quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes behind her, suggesting that she be careful with her words and actions, after all, the eldest elder of the Jiang family had arrived.
"Boom"!
The carved cane slammed heavily onto the blue brick floor, revealing that Old Lady Jiang was not in a happy mood at the moment.
Jiang Weishi followed not far behind, hurriedly running over with Jiang Huagui and Nanny Ye.
After entering the front hall, she spoke before Old Lady Jiang and greeted her warmly, "I was wondering why I saw a magpie announcing good news by the window this morning. It turns out my mother-in-law is coming. I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality. But... what brings you here?"
As Jiang Wei spoke, she wondered: Could it be that they were here to discuss setting a date for the second wedding as soon as possible? That's a bit too soon! I thought they were the only ones anxious, but I didn't expect the Gu family to be even more anxious!
Sure enough, as Jiang Huagui guessed, the Gu family would never abandon the child.
"Who are you relatives? Madam Jiang, please stop making up stories."
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, as if she had been poured with a basin of cold water, and her enthusiasm immediately disappeared. "Mrs. Gu, what are you doing?"
The young woman called Madam Gu by Jiang Weishi was the second wife of Minister Gu of the Ministry of Revenue and the biological mother of Gu Qian'an. She took good care of herself and therefore looked a few years younger than her actual age.
At this moment, she was so angry that she made Jiang Wei speechless.
"The eldest daughters of the Gu and Jiang families were engaged as children, so they can be considered relatives for the time being. So what does this have to do with your second branch?"
Madam Gu threw the teacup she had just held back onto the small table beside her, and the cup lid swung back and forth with a clanging sound.
The next thing she said was a stern voice: "Today I want to listen carefully to what Madam Jiang has to say! I didn't know that in today's world, there is still a saying that a cousin can marry off her younger cousin?"
Jiang Weishi looked a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment. She looked at her little daughter.
Jiang Huagui lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, his voice as sweet as a silver bell: "Madam Gu, you misunderstood."
Madam Gu frowned, her voice rising gradually: "Misunderstanding?"
"You don't know, but my second sister has an unlucky fate. She's prone to marrying badly, and she's also not destined to have children." Jiang Huagui remained calm and spoke seriously. "What's more, a few days before the wedding, my second sister disappeared for no apparent reason. To avoid embarrassing both families in front of outsiders, my mother decided to have my eldest sister ride in the bridal sedan, so that the wedding ceremony would be complete..."
