Mind Reading: Help! Princess, your father is too difficult to seduce

Chapter 6 Appointment from the Duke’s Mansion



When Zhao Yuan fell silent, Mrs. Chen wanted to scold even more, "Can you think of a son who is more miserable than you, with half of his body buried in the ground? You don't even have a woman, whether you are blind or lame, you It’s a surprise that there aren’t any, you’re so embarrassed to hang out with your face all day long.”

Zhao Yuan "..."

It's really an exaggeration.

He just didn't want to look for it, it wasn't that he couldn't find it.

The corners of his mouth were straightened. He didn't say these words after all.

But after all, I couldn't hold it any longer, so I simply threw up my sleeves and prepared to leave.

It's a pity that as soon as Zhao Yuan threw up his sleeves, his mother shouted, "Stop."

The tall Ning Guogong could only raise his hands to straighten his sleeves.

Mrs. Chen was angry that she wouldn't argue, and said threateningly, "Today's betrothal gift must be sent out no matter what, whether it's Jiang's Mansion, Li's Mansion, Wang's Mansion..."

Mrs. Chen paused for a moment before taking a deep breath before continuing, "If you can't deliver the betrothal gift today, I will sue you myself to the Empress before the civil servants can help you. I will sue you for being disobedient and unfilial, and for being stupid." , you are willing to kill off my Zhao family’s heir just for the sake of an adopted daughter.”

Zhao Yuan's dark eyes narrowed slightly: "Mother, are you threatening me?"

Zhao Yuan has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he has an air of hostility in him. His deep tone will naturally scare others.

But Chen is no stranger.

She was the one who gave birth to Zhao Yuan, so Zhao Yuan's deep tone naturally failed to intimidate her. Mrs. Chen stared at her son and said, "You can take it as a threat if you wish."

When she said this, she looked away and said, "You should also know that the Queen's choice was not just for that girl."

The principle of hitting a snake seven inches long is known to all young people. Chen, who has lived for most of his life, naturally understands it better.

Isn't Zhao Yuan just afraid that that girl Zhao Wanjun will be wronged?

Since he doesn’t want his daughter to be wronged, then he, the father, should be wronged!

After Chen finished speaking, she waited for a while and saw that Zhao Yuan was still silent, so she smiled and said, "How about it? Mr. Ning Guo, do you want to save you or that girl?"

Zhao Yuan still didn't speak, but looked at his mother with dark eyes.

But as Chen said, she was the one who gave birth to Zhao Yuan. Others were afraid of Zhao Yuan, but she was not afraid.

Therefore, it is useless no matter how deep Zhao Yuan's eyes are.

The more Zhao Yuan remained silent, the more confident Chen became. Sure enough, his son would compromise for that girl.

Chen often piled up an entire courtyard with betrothal gifts, which amounted to one hundred and twenty loads.

Mrs. Chen looked at her son with a smile and said, "Ning Guogong, do you personally deliver this betrothal gift, or do I send someone to deliver it?"

"Huh," Ning Guogong waved his hands and left without stopping.

Mrs. Chen happily ordered someone to pay the betrothal gift, got an official matchmaker, and then went to the Jiang Mansion to hire someone with great fanfare.

In the Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Wei, the old lady, soon recovered after the doctor gave her acupuncture.

Mrs. Wei, who had slowed down, looked around the room. Jiang Su, the son, was there, Shen Yun, the daughter-in-law, and Aunt Xiang and Jiang Zhi were also there. Only Jiang Fu, the "culprit", was not there.

Wei's face, which had just recovered, was pale and ugly. "Bang," she raised her hand and swept something down. The sound of it falling on the ground startled everyone.

Immediately she attacked Shen Yun, "Look at the good daughter you raised. Her grandmother hurt her body because of her, but she went away alone." Wei laughed, "It's really easy to give birth to a white-eyed wolf."

Facing Wei's attack, Shen Yun just lowered her head and dared not speak, with a look of shame on her face.

Shen Yun is a person with a soft personality, and she grew up adhering to the three obediences and four virtues of women. Jiang Fu's actions in the princess mansion only made her feel ashamed, and she did not dare to argue in front of her mother-in-law.

When she didn't speak, Jiang Su became even more furious, "Where is that evil girl?"

"Order someone to call her over!"

"She caused such a disaster, causing her grandmother to become angry, and the whole family's reputation was affected by her, but she disappeared as if nothing was wrong."

After Jiang Su finished speaking, Shen Yun hadn't spoken yet. Jiang Zhi, who had been waiting for an opportunity with her eyes closed, stepped forward smartly. First, she saluted Wei and Jiang Sufu, and then said quickly, "Sister, I just left from the front hall." , she should have gone back to her yard, Gardenia will call her sister on behalf of her mother."

Aunt Xiang's conspicuous bag also immediately said, "Second young lady, go ahead and tell the eldest lady that the old lady fell ill because of her and is still thinking about her. Let her come over and take a look."

It would have been better if Aunt Xiang didn't say this, but her confusing words made Jiang Su and Wei's mother and son even more angry.

It seems that Wei Shijue's past was really because he cared about Jiang Fujue's past.

It was as if she was anxious to find Jiang Fu because she missed her.

Therefore, the anger on their faces became even more intense.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Aunt Xiang urged Jiang Zhi in a soft voice, "Second young lady, go and call sister!"

After Jiang Zhi turned around and left, Aunt Xiang Pingping took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand, knelt down in front of Wei's bed, and began to give medicine to Wei.

She is still pregnant now, already five months old, and this attitude will only make Wei's eyes on Shen Yun even more unpleasant.

As expected, she had just knelt down on her knees.

Wei's eyes fell on Shen Yun.

Wei felt that even medicine could not cure her depression.

She couldn't even figure out why she had chosen such a person for her son in the first place. He looked like a piece of wood and didn't look like a matron at all.

Look at Aunt Xiang, who is kneeling beside the bed with her belly full, giving medicine.

Aunt Xiang is also the daughter of a good family. She was the sister of one of Jiang Su's subordinates when he first took office before he came to Beijing.

Aunt Xiang passed through the family as a good concubine.

Not only has she acted in a responsible manner over the past few years, but her belly is also up to par. When she entered the house, it could be said that she had two babies in three years.

Forget it, at this age, she is pregnant again, and she is about to add another child to the Jiang family, which is not prosperous. The most important thing is that the children she gave birth to are well-behaved, sensible, and... Progress.

Especially the son she gave birth to, Jiang Cheng, was always praised by his master when he was studying in the academy. Compared with his legitimate son Jiang Wei, who was always getting into trouble, he was completely different.

Jiang Cheng is good at everything, but it's a pity that he is a bastard.

It is good for a concubine to be smart and capable, but after all, he is not as good as a legitimate son. If he is a legitimate son...

Wei's gloomy gaze swept over Shen Yun...

Shen Yun was Wei Nai and had a soft temper, but that didn't mean she couldn't read people's eyes, so she hurried forward and first reached out to take the medicine bowl from Aunt Xiang's hand, and then asked someone to help Aunt Xiang stand up.

Aunt Xiang said softly and weakly, "Madam, it's better for the maid to do it!"

Shen Yun immediately said: "You are pregnant, so take care of yourself. I will come."

Aunt Xiang was helped up by the maid, and she still didn't forget her strange aura: "My maid is a lowly person, it doesn't matter."

As soon as Aunt Xiang finished speaking, Mrs. Wei said with a sullen expression, "What are you doing to debase yourself? You are from a good family."

Although Mrs. Wei spoke for Aunt Xiang, Aunt Xiang remained humble, lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, "When I was at my parents' house, I heard my elder brother often mention how brave and brave I am, and I admired you."

Aunt Xiang looked at Jiang Su shyly when she said this.

Although Aunt Xiang was already thirty years old, she was at her peak as a mature woman. This sight really made Jiang Su's heart agitate a lot.

At the same time, Jiang Su also felt sorry for Aunt Xiang, "If you hadn't found me, you would be a decent woman, so you don't have to be so self-deprecating."

"Furthermore, you have given birth to children for the Jiang family, and you are still the master. Don't say anything about being a slave or a maid again."

After Jiang Su said this, Aunt Xiang looked even more shy.

The way Jiang Su looked at her was also extremely unclear.

Wei seemed very satisfied with this situation.

But no one cared about Shen Yun. Jiang Su didn't care about her as his wife when he said those words, and the old lady didn't seem to think of giving her face...

Shen Yun lowered her eyes and dug her hands into her sleeves without making a sound.

When Jiang Zhi arrived in Jiang Fu's yard, Jiang Fu had just finished taking a bath, and Xiao Yuan was wiping her hair behind her.

Jiang Zhi entered the house regardless of the obstruction, and saw Jiang Fu sitting there with wet hair, a look of extreme disapproval on her face, "Sister, you..." She hesitated to speak, silently reprimanding Jiang Fu for his unfilial piety. .

"Grandma fainted because of my sister. Why didn't my sister go and take a look?"

After Jiang Fu heard this, she immediately turned around in surprise, "What?" she said in surprise, "Grandma fainted?"

"When...when did this happen?"

Jiang Zhi still looked innocent, "When my sister came out of the front yard."

Jiang Fu also frowned and looked at Jiang Zhi with an accusing look on her face, "Why is this happening?"

"I originally thought that I was unlovable and staying in the front hall would only make my grandmother angry. My sister is a lovable person. I felt relieved that my sister was here, so I left first."

"I never thought..." Jiang Fu looked at Jiang Zhi sadly, then shook her head, as if you were really ignorant.

Jiang Zhi "..."

This...why is the accusation still on her?

Why is it her fault?

Before she could argue with Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu had already straightened her clothes and stood up, "Xiaoyuan, you can tie up your hair for me as you like. Let's go visit my grandmother first. It doesn't matter if my hair is wet."

Jiang Fu: Humph, isn’t it just a trick? Who can’t do it?

Jiang Fuzhen held up her half-wet hair with a hairpin and went to the old lady's yard. When she entered the old lady's bedroom, Jiang Fu took the lead and said, "Oh, grandma, what's going on?"

Looking at Aunt Xiang who was leaning on the bed again, Jiang Fu immediately said: "Aunt Xiang, have you made grandma unhappy?"

Aunt Xiang "..."

Wei's "..."

And Jiang Su also had a constipated look on his face.

Without giving them a chance to show off, Jiang Fu spoke loudly again, this time to Mrs. Wei, "Grandma, don't be so fussy with Aunt Xiang. Although Aunt Xiang is a bit naive, she is still pregnant. Well, you are the most tolerant, you will understand her, right?"

Wei's "..."

The breath that had just come over was blocked again. Wei Shi gasped and almost knocked herself over again.

Aunt Xiang hurriedly wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Jiang Fu raised her hand to stop her, "Aunt Xiang, if grandma is angry with you, please don't step forward to cause trouble for grandma."

As Jiang Fu spoke, she stepped forward and banged her hands to calm Wei's anger, "Grandma, if you want to be more open-minded, you can't be so angry that your body is ruined, right?"

"You said that if you were so angry that we... what should we do?"

As she spoke, she sobbed and wiped the corners of her eyes, "When my granddaughter heard that you had passed away, she didn't even bother to wring her hair, so she came over quickly. Grandma, please take it easy!"

This time Wei was speechless and could only hold her chest.

Aunt Xiang was speechless. Despite her exquisite thoughts, Jiang Fu was so shameless. She really didn't expect it, and she couldn't react for a while.

Not to mention her, Jiang Su, the father, was dumbfounded.

Shen Yun is also a little stupid, but she has always been stupid, so it is normal for her to be unable to react at this time.

"Ahem," Mr. Wei was originally out of breath due to the anger, but was "bang bang" beaten by Jiang Fu, which made her cough violently several times.

Jiang Fu comforted her again, "Grandma, you are so old, so you must not be angry!"

Wei Shi coughed and gasped and couldn't say a word, so she simply got angry and gave Jiang Fu a hard slap with her hand.

Jiang Fu fell to the ground, half-covering her face with her handkerchief, "Grandma..."

Shen Yun, who had been slow to react, immediately reacted and rushed forward to hug her daughter, then looked at her mother-in-law with reproach, "Mom..."

"Fu'er... Fu'er also means well," Shen Yun said, and quickly took Jiang Fu's hand to check if she was injured.

Fortunately, there was no scratch on the palm.

Shen Yun asked Jiang Fu carefully if there was any pain in her arms or legs.

Jiang Fu faced Shen Yun, her mother, and pursed her lips in grievance, looking like she was about to cry, "Butt hurts!"

"Ahem..." Wei coughed violently again.

Jiang Fudu doubted whether she was going to cough out her lungs.

"Evil...evil..."

Before she could come out, the maid opened the curtain and hurriedly came in. She first looked at Mrs. Wei who was coughing and then said to Jiang Su, "Master, housekeeper... housekeeper," the maid said and quickly sat down. Jiang Fu, who was on the ground, glanced at her, and then said quickly: "The housekeeper said that the Duke's Mansion has come to hire someone." After saying this, the maid buried her head deeply.

After the maid finished speaking, the huge room fell silent.

Wei, who just seemed to be coughing out his lungs, stopped coughing now.

Even Jiang Fu was dumbfounded for a moment.

Recruited from the Duke's Mansion...

The way she spoke to Zhao Yuan was actually a big gamble.

Because she was not sure whether Zhao Yuan would really be manipulated by her.

If people don't care about reputation at all, they won't pay attention to her at all.

But she is not afraid, and ignoring her is simply because she failed to meet the original owner's requirements, and then the world collapsed and then was reshaped.

If Zhao Yuan cares about the gossip outside, cares about his reputation with the outside world, and is old, he is very likely to bow his head and consider marrying her later.

but……

The Duke's Mansion came to recruit her immediately, which she really didn't expect.

It doesn't matter if you didn't expect it, what matters is that the Duke's Office has come to recruit you.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fu only felt that her butt that had just fallen hurt even more.
