Chapter 287

"That, the aunt in charge didn't say."

Sheng Ji frowned and said, "However, the head aunt said that Madam also knew about this matter."

"My mother?"

Jiang Wei was slightly surprised.

I couldn't understand why this matter involved his mother.
Sheng Ji nodded: "That's exactly what the head aunt said."

"It is said that the Marquis's wife had seen Princess Shao'an several times when she went to the palace to visit Concubine Jiang... Concubine Jiang would often talk about Princess Shao'an in front of the Marquis's wife."

Sheng Ji cupped his hands and said, "It is precisely because of this that I feel that this matter may be the key clue to solving the mystery of Princess Shao'an's identity."

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes.

Then he sneered, "In other words, the key to finding out the identity of Princess Shaoan lies with my mother."

He chuckled a few times: "But haven't you ever thought that the head aunt might have lied to you?"

Jiang Wei even found it ridiculous.

If his mother really knew any clues and had really seen this so-called Princess Shao'an, how could she have watched him work so hard to investigate the identity of Princess Shao'an and remained indifferent for more than half a year.

How is it possible that he knows nothing and can't remember anything?

Sheng Ji lowered his head: "I have thought about it..."

Jiang Wei frowned: "What about you?"

He looked at his capable subordinate with some suspicion.

I don't understand what he is up to.

"Before I came to see you, I went to see Madam Hou."

Shengji's voice was steady.

Jiang Wei looked at Sheng Ji with a hint of surprise: "What did my mother say?"

"Does he really have any impression of this so-called Princess Shao'an?"

"Could it be that because of what you said, her memory was guided and she remembered it wrongly for a moment?"

Jiang Wei was still very skeptical.

Sheng Ji shook his head: "I just asked whether Madam Jiang Fei had any close friends during her lifetime, or whether she summoned anyone to accompany her in the palace..."

As soon as he said this, Jiang Wei already understood.

What the aunt in charge said might actually be true!

When my elder sister was alive, she was really good friends with Princess Shao'an. It was even possible that they had a very good relationship.

His mother has seen it!

Or maybe she heard it from her elder sister.

"Who is this person?"

Jiang Wei looked at Sheng Ji and had already guessed that since he came to tell him this, there was probably enough evidence.

Sheng Ji hesitated for a moment, as if he was hesitant about his own judgment, or as if the man's name was difficult to say out loud.

"Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion..."

He lowered his voice a lot, as if he was afraid of disturbing the gods with his loud voice and making them angry and displeased.

Jiang Wei also looked incredulous.

I even started to wonder if there was something wrong with my ears.

"Who?"

The Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion? !

Is that someone he can afford to marry?
How could that person in the palace possibly grant him a marriage with the Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion...

Not to mention whether the Imperial Master's Mansion would agree with this imperial edict, nor to say who in the palace had the guts to issue an imperial edict to the Imperial Master's Mansion, attempting to order it to obey, or to grant a marriage, which would easily anger the other party.

Just to say that the attitude of the palace towards the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion has always been that they want to get rid of it as soon as possible... Why would they issue an imperial decree to arrange a marriage between the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion and the Imperial Preceptor Mansion?
Isn't he worried that the Jiang'an Marquis's family is powerful and ambitious, and wants to rebel and abolish his supreme position?

Jiang Wei asked uncertainly, "Could it be that this young master of the Imperial Master's Mansion has committed some mistake and is being expelled from the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any reason that would make that person in the palace matchmake him with the Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion and arrange a marriage for him.

The only possibility is that this young prince has done something extremely treasonous and was expelled from the Imperial Master's Office.

That person wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring him together with the criminals of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and then from then on, he would become the target of hunting and destruction by the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The more Jiang Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

Sheng Ji shook his head and said, "I have inquired about it. The young master of the Imperial Master's Mansion is highly regarded by the Imperial Master. Some time ago, he took people to travel to secret and dangerous places. He just returned to the capital recently."

Highly respected...

Jiang Wei frowned tightly.

So, the person in the palace really wants to bring him together with the young master of the Duke's Mansion?

How is this possible?
Sheng Ji seemed to see the confusion in people's eyes, and reminded them gently: "I think that since Concubine Jiang used to be on good terms with this young prince and had frequent contacts with him, and even the Marquis's wife has heard Concubine Jiang mention this young prince, then this young prince must have heard Concubine Jiang mention you!"

"what do you mean……"

No matter how confident Jiang Wei was, he didn't dare to think further based on Sheng Ji's reminder.

But Shengji seemed to have made up his mind and reminded him again in a roundabout way.

"The one in the palace may not have the courage and ability to pass the imperial edict to the Imperial Master's Mansion, but if the Imperial Master's Mansion wants the palace to issue an imperial edict to arrange marriage for someone, it would probably only take a word."

Sheng Ji's tone was filled with yearning and admiration: "It is even possible that we don't even need anyone from the Imperial Master's Mansion to go to the palace to meet that person in person."

"All you need to do is take a picture of a random cleaner who is doing odd jobs and come over to let us know."

"I'm afraid that the person in the palace will immediately get things done as quickly as possible."

Sheng Ji reminded people again: "Think about it, isn't this marriage decree too inexplicable and too sudden?"

"This is most likely not the original intention of the one in the palace."

If it wasn’t the original wish of the person who issued the imperial decree, then it must be… the thought of the person who was granted the marriage?

It could only be the thoughts of one of the two people who were given the marriage.

Jiang Wei still has self-awareness.

There was no need for him to elaborate on how the Marquis Jiang'an's family was treated harshly and bullied by that person in the palace after his elder sister's death. Everyone had seen it.

In the capital, almost everyone was laughing at the joke happening to the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion.

He was not so far away from recognizing himself as to become so arrogant as to think that he was the one who controlled the will of the person in the palace.

If it wasn't him, then it could only be the other person who was given the marriage.

Princess Shao'an has been a mystery for a long time and her identity has only just surfaced.

The Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion...

Jiang Wei had never thought in his life that he would have the honor of marrying the Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

“Isn’t this a little too ridiculous?”

Jiang Wei still couldn't believe it.

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "No, I'll go see my mother!"

There are some things that he really finds hard to accept and believe unless he asks them in person or hears them with his own ears.

The Young Master of the Imperial Master's Mansion...how could such a powerful and all-powerful person come down to the mortal world and fall in love with him?
For the first time, Jiang Wei felt a sense of insecurity that he had never felt before.

In the courtyard of the wife of Marquis Jiang'an.

When Lady Marquis Jiang'an heard that her youngest son was coming, she was extremely happy.

She hurriedly ordered the maids in the yard to prepare Jiang Wei's favorite food and drinks.

"Bring the gold-woven cushion over here. This child has been spoiled since he was little, and he has been spoiled by his elder sister, who treats him like a rich woman."

"He can't get used to the soft cushions next to him."

When mentioning her eldest daughter, a trace of sadness quietly crept onto Lady Jiang'an's face, and she felt a pang in her heart.

If the eldest daughter was still alive, she would definitely choose a good marriage for her younger brother. How could it be like this now?

The imperial decree granting the marriage had been issued for more than half a year.

They haven't met the woman yet.

I just want to be polite, but I don't know where to start.

Ugh!
The wife of Marquis Jiang'an couldn't help feeling resentful.

The girl's family is really ignorant of etiquette.

They didn't know his identity and couldn't visit him.

Are they also like them, knowing nothing?
In the capital, the news about Jiang Wei's marriage has long been a hot topic.

They didn't even know how many people had already started to laugh at their family's misfortune.

There were also those with vicious mouths who said that the person arranged for his son to marry in the palace was not a living person at all, but a dead person who was found from somewhere and picked up the posthumous honor for nothing and then arranged for his son to marry.

Maybe he is just a beggar wandering around the city.

After freezing to death on the street, there was no one to collect the body.

There are even more vicious ones who say that this person is most likely not even a woman.

Lady Jiang'an Hou had heard too many sarcastic and mocking remarks these days, and she was so angry that she became sick.

But things have become so serious.

The woman acted as if she knew nothing. She neither took the initiative to visit the family nor came out to protect their family from the rumors.

Just like this, hiding somewhere, secretly watching them laugh.

It's simply too much!

The more Mrs. Jiang thought about it, the more depressed she felt.

She even felt that she was a very kind and amiable mother-in-law.

There are never any rules set for the daughters-in-law in the house.

But now, she has made up her mind that when this ignorant daughter-in-law marries her, she will make sure someone teaches her the rules.

There are also such in-laws who don’t know the importance of the matter.

It’s better to have less contact with each other in the future.

You are really ignorant.

Lady Marquis Jiang'an was feeling annoyed, but when she heard the continuous greetings coming from outside, she immediately became happy again.

She smiled, stood up and walked quickly outside to meet the people.

Before Jiang Wei could even greet him, he hurriedly pulled the person aside and looked at him carefully.

"Grown a bit taller."

"I've lost a lot of weight, too."

Madam Jiang Anhou's eyes were filled with heartache: "Are the people around you not serving you wholeheartedly?"

"Oh, mother~"

Jiang Wei was really helpless: "How old am I? How can I grow taller?"

“I haven’t lost weight either.”

"I've been eating and drinking well these days. Apart from staying at home playing chess, I've been reading some boring novels, listening to operas, and tending to the flowers and plants. I've been so idle that I'm about to get moldy and grow mushrooms."

"Where can I lose weight?"

"I've gained a lot of weight."

"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to wear my wedding dress when I get married."

Madam Jiang Anhou glared at him and asked, "Where are you fat?"

"I think it's pretty good."

"It would be better if you were a little fatter."

"Being fat is a blessing."

Jiang Wei didn't dwell on this topic any more. He laughed and said a few words to make the old man happy, and then let the matter go.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

As soon as Mrs. Jiang'an Hou saw the person, she knew that he was not here just to see her.

"Hey, Mom~ Can't I just miss you and come to see you?"

Jiang Wei was pestering people and acting coquettishly.

Madam Jiang Anhou snorted coldly: "How could I not know you?"

"I gave birth to you. When you were naked as a child, I knew what bad ideas you were thinking when you stuck your butt out."

Jiang Wei's face turned red: "Oh, mother!"

"What are you talking about?"

"So many people are here, how can I save face?"

The wife of Marquis Jiang An ignored him and said, "I have seen all kinds of embarrassing situations like you."

"It's still face!"

"After being away for a few years, you've learned how to take Qiao'er?"

Jiang Wei knew that there was no way to explain this to his mother, so he simply changed the subject.

He asked straight to the point: "I came here to visit you."

"But there is one thing I want to ask."

Mrs. Jiang'anhou's wife immediately showed an expression that said "I knew it".

"Go ahead, what do you want to ask?"

Jiang Wei hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to put it.

The death of my elder sister was also a great blow to my mother.

He was not sure whether A Niang had really let it go and moved on as she appeared to be.

"Speak up! What are you staring at?"

Mrs. Jiang'an Hou hadn't heard anyone talking for a long time, so she couldn't help but urge them.

Jiang Wei sighed: "I want to ask, did my sister have any good friends when she was alive? After entering the palace, did she invite people to accompany her in the palace?"

"What good friends can your sister have?"

When Lady Jiang'an Marquis mentioned her eldest daughter, she sighed for a long time.

Very sad.

"She has been restless since she was little! She prefers to be active and not quiet, and she is spoiled by your father."

"The girls of other families, when they are almost old enough to look after other people, are already proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, housekeeping, and even needlework."

"But what about her?"

"All day long, he wields swords and clubs, rides horses and hunts. He is not gentle or demure at all."

"Other families heard about her and tried to avoid our marriage proposal as much as possible."

Jiang Wei couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "You're afraid to avoid it? How could it be... I remember when my sister was coming of age, there were so many people who came to ask for marriage, even the threshold of our house was broken twice."

"Once when the housekeeper was repairing it, I was watching from the side."

At that time, he also suggested to the housekeeper that the threshold should be replaced with an iron one.

This also prevents anyone from trampling down their doorstep.

The housekeeper even laughed at his childish words.

How come, when his mother spoke of her, she became "sister" and no one dared to marry her, while everyone tried to avoid her?
