son, don't mess around

Xiao Zhu on the side shrank his neck and said nothing.

During this period, she often heard Miss Jiang scolding His Highness, saying that His Highness was a playboy, spending his time drinking and carousing outside, surrounded by beautiful women, and had forgotten all about them!
…Anyway, Xiao Zhu is almost tired of hearing it!

If anyone else had dared to scold His Highness like this, Xiao Zhu would have been the first to stand up and refute.

But the one being scolded was Miss Jiang... His Highness's nominal aunt!

As His Highness' elder, Miss Jiang is clearly qualified to scold His Highness.

Moreover, the scolding is well-founded!

Xiao Zhu also heard about the information that came from Linjiang City some time ago, which was that their own prince had abandoned them and their group to Jiangnan.

As a result, His Highness secretly returned to the Prince Lin's Mansion with the eldest princess of the current dynasty and the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

I heard that His Highness had an unclear relationship with them, and it was extremely unclear...

Xiao Zhu didn't feel anything. After all, she was just the prince's bed-warmer. It didn't matter to her how many women were around the prince. Xiao Zhu didn't take it seriously.

Of course, I do feel a little resentful sometimes, and have a little complaint towards Your Highness... Your Highness wouldn't really have forgotten Xiao Zhu, right?
However, this resentment soon disappeared.

No way!
Your Highness will certainly not forget her.

"You, you're being crazy again!"

Jiang Yuxiang put her hands on her hips, scolded the brat, then turned around and saw Xiaozhu in a daze.

I sighed for a moment, feeling very disappointed with him.

Each and every one of them is wrong!

Since arriving at the Jiang family, the girl Zhiyuan has started to investigate the brat's origins and the truth behind the attack on Princess Lin.

However, it has been so long since the events happened that a lot of evidence has already been deliberately covered up, making it extremely difficult to investigate.

But the silly girl Zhiyuan did not give up. She has been looking for clues from the past during this period, and she has visibly lost a lot of weight during this period.

When that brat comes back, I will definitely teach him a lesson!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang immediately made up her mind. That brat is here, and as his aunt, she must beat him up a few times to vent her anger!
"Okay, when Zhiyuan comes back, remember to tell me."

After Jiang Yuxiang gave Xiao Zhu some instructions, he left the courtyard with light steps, walked through the eaves of the pavilion, and came to another inner courtyard.

Outside the inner courtyard, the door was heavily guarded by guards, and there were secret sentries guarding all around.

The silence all around gave people an indescribable feeling of oppression.

"Miss Fourth!"

As soon as Jiang Yuxiang walked to the door, the guards at the door bowed their heads and saluted respectfully.

Although Jiang Yuxiang was the adopted daughter of Mr. Jiang, she was extremely favored in the Jiang family and had a very high status. In addition, this fourth young lady had a hot temper, so in the past, no one in the Jiang family dared to offend her.

"How is the old man?"

Jiang Yuxiang asked the guard at the door.

"Everything is fine," the guard replied.

"Row."

Jiang Yuxiang waved her hand: "I'll go take a look!"

"Miss Fourth..."

The guards at the door quickly stopped her.

Jiang Yuxiang paused, raised his eyes and squinted at the two guards at the door: "Are you going to stop me?"

The two guards' faces suddenly changed and they looked at each other.

"Fourth Miss, you are making things difficult for us..."

One of the guards spoke cautiously: "The eldest lady has ordered that no one should disturb us."

"Heh, when will it be her turn to make the decisions for the Jiang family?!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "The old man is not dead yet, she is so anxious to take the position?"

After these words were spoken, the two guards broke out in cold sweats.

"Fourth Miss, we are just following orders..."

"By whose order?"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly: "Don't forget where this is?"

"This is the Jiang family. It's not her turn as an outsider to point fingers!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuxiang flicked her sleeves and walked towards the courtyard.

The remaining guards stood at the door, looked at each other, but did not dare to stop him.

As you step into the courtyard, you can see beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery under the pavilions and corridors is beautiful.

Ever since the old man became seriously ill, he has been recuperating here.

Jiang Yuxiang walked towards the backyard with a cold face.

At this moment, several figures slowly walked out from under the pavilion corridor next to them.

The leader was a lady who was gorgeously dressed and still had a charming look. When she saw Jiang Yuxiang, her eyes changed slightly: "Jiang Yuxiang, who asked you to come here?!"

Jiang Yuxiang paused, looked up at the noble lady in front of him, and asked calmly, "What's the problem?"

The lady's face was slightly cold: "This is where the old man rests. Who let you in without permission?"

"You can come in, why can't I?"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Sun Yan, do you take yourself too seriously?"

Hearing this, the lady's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she said angrily: "Jiang Yuxiang, what do you mean?"

"I'm your sister-in-law, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you have any manners at all, you wild girl?!"

Jiang Yuxiang narrowed her eyes, with a hint of disdain on her delicate face: "When did I ever admit that you are my sister-in-law?"

"It's just a pheasant. I just got lucky. Do you really think you've become a phoenix?!"

Sun Yan was so angry when she heard this that her eyes widened and she said angrily: "Jiang Yuxiang, you, you dare to say that to me?!"

"Why shouldn't I?!"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at her and said, "Recognize your own identity. The old man is not dead yet, and you are jumping up and down here, afraid that others don't know your purpose and ideas?"

"If I didn't know, I would have thought you were hoping the old man would die."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Yan's face turned pale and she said in a panic, "You, you are slandering me!"

"Whether it is slander or not, you know it in your heart."

Jiang Yuxiang retracted her gaze: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuxiang ignored her and turned away.

Sun Yan was left standing there, her face slightly pale and unpredictable for a long time.

After a while, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet fiercely: "You stupid girl, I'm not done with you!"

Thinking of this, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

When the old man dies, let’s see how long she can continue to be so arrogant.

When the time comes, she must be kicked out!

"go!"

Sun Yan said coldly.

"Madam, where are we going?" the maid next to her asked cautiously.

"Go find Jiang Zheng!"

Sun Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I was bullied by his sister. Let's see if he will do anything about it!"

……

In the cool and quiet backyard.

Jiang Yuxiang pushed open the door to the backyard and walked into the room. Not far away, on the bed, an old man was lying quietly.

There were several maids serving and taking care of her.

"You guys go out first."

Jiang Yuxiang waved her hand, and several maids stood up, bent over, and then left the room.

Jiang Yuxiang walked forward slowly. On the bed, there appeared a white-haired old man. He looked frail and seemed to be dying soon.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, he was very old, and his whole body was filled with a gloomy air.

"Old man!"

Jiang Yuxiang stepped forward and saw this scene, with a trace of heartache in her eyes: "How are you?"

On the bed, the old man slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Jiang Yuxiang, he sighed softly and shook his head: "You won't die yet!"

"I think you're almost there. It's been less than a year and you've become like this..." Although Jiang Yuxiang said this, she sighed softly.

When she went to Beijing last year, the old man was still in very good health, but he caught a cold and almost lost his life.

It has become what it is now!
"I'm not angry with you."

The old man said in a low and hoarse voice, unhappily.

"It's not my business?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang was unhappy.

"If you hadn't made me so angry, I could have lived at least another ten years!"

"What does it have to do with me? Are you blaming me?"

Jiang Yuxiang was unhappy: "If you want to blame someone, blame Big Brother, blame Sun Yan... It's their fault. They didn't take good care of you."

"Especially that Sun Yan, I think she wishes you would die!"

Even at this time, Jiang Yuxiang still remembered to put in eye drops.

"How dare you! No matter what, she is still your sister-in-law!"

"I don't admit it!"

Jiang Yuxiang snorted coldly: "She didn't have any good intentions when she married me. It's just that my brother is not in a clear mind and believes her lies. He has been confused by her and has lost his mind. Now he listens to her in everything."

"I suspect that the reason you are like this, old man, has something to do with her!"

Old Master Jiang's eyes were cloudy, and he seemed to sigh: "When I am really buried in the ground, the Jiang family will have to rely on you..."

At this point, the old man glanced at Jiang Yuxiang; "Although your elder brother is a little dull, he has a plan in mind and will not act on impulse, so I don't need to worry too much. Although your sister-in-law is ambitious, she can't cause any trouble with your elder brother suppressing her..."

Jiang Yuxiang curled her lips: "That's not necessarily true. I think my brother's brain is broken a long time ago!"

"Your second brother is in the capital and has already started a family. The situation in the capital is unclear now. You can try to persuade them to come back. Staying here is better than being in the capital..."

Old Master Jiang sighed softly.

Jiang Yuxiang did not refute this point.

She did know that the capital was in chaos, the situation in the dynasty was uncertain, the King Xu in the north was planning a rebellion, the court was short of money and was looking for ways to take action against the Jiangnan families.

It is indeed very risky for my second brother to stay in the capital.

"I will persuade my second brother and his wife about this matter."

Jiang Yuxiang nodded and agreed.

"And you..."

Mr. Jiang suddenly looked at her again.

"I?"

Jiang Yuxiang was stunned: "What's wrong with me?"

"You are the one who worries me the most."

Jiang Yuxiang was unhappy: "What's wrong with me? I didn't cause any trouble for you?"

"You haven't messed with me yet?"

Old Master Jiang glared slightly, "Last year you ran off to the capital without saying a word. Do you know how big of a joke our Jiang family made?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang felt a little guilty and her tone became much weaker, but then she became confident again: "You just want to force me to get married?"

"How old are you? Why aren't you married yet?"

"Who says you have to get married when you get older?"

Jiang Yuxiang said confidently: "Besides, I'm only twenty-seven this year!"

"You still have the nerve to say that?!"

Old Master Jiang seemed to be very angry, and his originally old and frail temperament became more lively: "You are still not married at the age of 27. Do you know how many people laugh at our Jiang family?"

"Other women who are 27 years old can even have children and start a family. What about you? Look at them, and then look at yourself!"

"I do not watch!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "If they want to get married, they can go ahead. They can have children when they are thirteen or fourteen years old. Why don't you kill them?!"

"you……"

Mr. Jiang was so angry that he started coughing violently.

Jiang Yuxiang's face changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back: "Old man, calm down, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

"Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you!"

Mr. Jiang was furious.

"Why are you angry? I'm not angry at all!"

Jiang Yuxiang was not convinced: "Last year, you said you wanted to force me to get married for no apparent reason. Which idiot was he? I've never even met him... Aren't you just randomly matching people up?"

Old Master Jiang said angrily: "What's wrong with Master Xu? We are well matched, he is handsome, he fell in love with you at first sight, and he doesn't mind your age..."

"I'm grateful that he doesn't look down on me because of my age!"

Jiang Yuxiang laughed angrily, "Am I, Jiang Yuxiang, someone who can't get married? Do I need him to not despise me?"

Old Master Jiang sneered: "If you can get married, why worry about not getting married now?"

"That's because I don't want to get married!"

"Why don't you want to get married?"

"What other reason do you need for not wanting to get married?"

Jiang Yuxiang curled her lips. Seeing the old man staring at her with a gloomy face, she weakened her momentum again: "I just don't want to get married... I haven't met the right person!"

Hearing this, Mr. Jiang suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he sighed deeply: "Although I picked you up, I have always treated you as my own daughter over the years."

"I know."

"Before your mother passed away, what she wanted most was for you to get married and start a family, and to control your restless temper."

"I'm very quiet!"

"I am dying now, and what I want to see most in my lifetime is for you to get married and find a good family... Then I can rest in peace."

Jiang Yuxiang; "..."

Don't play like this!

When coercion and bribery failed, now they’re trying moral kidnapping?

"I shouldn't have come to see you."

Jiang Yuxiang said unhappily: "Why do you insist on making me marry?"

"Starting a family and building a career is a matter of course. You are almost thirty years old and still haven't started a family. This is against the ancestral teachings..."

Well, there is no communication at all.

Jiang Yuxiang gave up: "There's no rush!"

"You're almost thirty years old, why are you still not in a hurry?!"

"so what?"

Jiang Yuxiang didn't care at all: "If I don't meet the right person, I'd rather not get married!"

Mr. Jiang looked at her and said, "Do you have a crush on someone?"

"No."

Jiang Yuxiang shook her head.

But for some reason, when the old man asked about her sweetheart, her mind subconsciously paused.

Then, a familiar and slightly annoying face suddenly appeared inexplicably...

Hey, why did I suddenly think of that brat? !

For a moment, as if recalling the two misunderstandings in the capital before, Jiang Yuxiang felt her body tremble slightly, and her face inexplicably flushed.

Something's wrong, something's wrong...

She quickly shook her head to clear the image from her mind.

When I looked up, I suddenly met the old man's deep eyes.

"You, have a crush?!"
