Chapter 118: Sister-in-law’s Show of Power
Yi Changning pointed in the direction of the gate.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Xue Feier's face turned cold in an instant.
Pursing her lips, she said with a little grievance: "I knew that Master Yi was injured, so I came to see Master Yi without stopping. Master Yi, at least you should let me stay for a cup of tea, right?"
She was so humble and took the initiative to stay and take care of Yi Changning.
I didn't expect the other party to be so ungrateful!
Yi Changning said seriously, "I'm sorry, Miss Xue. My family is very poor. Tea is a luxury. As for water, I drink it directly from the well. If Miss Xue wants to drink, you can ask the servants to fetch water from the well at the door."
Xue Feier looked at Yi Changning, wondering whether he said that on purpose or unintentionally.
But no matter what, Yi Changning's intention to expel him was obvious.
Xue Feier didn't look angry.
He raised the corners of his lips slowly: "There is still a long time before the imperial examination. I remember that Master Yi's family is not doing very well. I think there will be a day when we meet again. I will wait for you at Xue's Bank."
Xue Feier's last sentence was full of threats.
After saying that, Xue Feier left without looking back.
Yi Changning heaved a sigh of relief only when he couldn't see Xue Feier.
He sat on the edge of the bed again.
Then he looked in the direction of another door in the room.
"You can come out now. Xue Feier has left."
The next second, the wooden door was pushed open.
Jiang Wanqing and Mo Yu walked out.
Looking at Yi Changning's pale face filled with fear.
Jiang Wanqing slowly took a few steps forward.
There was a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Now Master Yi believes what I said? The assassination by the men in black and your family's livelihood were all caused by Xue Feier's intervention."
There was a hint of bitterness on Yi Changning's lips.
Then he stood up again.
He bowed to Jiang Wanqing and said, "Thank you, Madam, for saving me. I will keep my promise. In the future, I will serve you. I just don't know who you are."
Jiang Wanqing looked straight at Yi Changning.
He opened his mouth and said, "The seventh young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, Jiang Wanqing."
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion!
Jiang Wanqing!
Yi Changning narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he seemed to recall.
“No wonder, no wonder Madam said that she heard my name from Mr. Wuchen.”
Mr. Wuchen had taught the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I think Jiang Wanqing must have a close relationship with Mr. Wuchen.
Jiang Wanqing continued, "Xue Feier is a person who will never give up until she achieves her goal. Since she has set her sights on you, she will continue to make her move."
Yi Changning frowned tightly.
There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Forced feelings will only make people feel disgusted. Even if I die, I will never obey her!"
Yi Changning also began to feel a little guilty.
Originally, I just said a few words for Xue Feier with good intentions.
Unexpectedly, it has caused such a big trouble.
It also implicated the family.
Looking at Yi Changning's increasingly serious expression.
Jiang Wanqing chuckled.
He said nonchalantly, "What are you talking about? I finally got you to be willing to work for me, so you have to climb to that position first. Don't worry, before the exam, I will have someone secretly protect you, and I will also take care of your family."
Yi Changning looked at Jiang Wanqing deeply.
Ever since Yi Changning knew that Jiang Wanqing was the seventh daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he had already had more respect for Jiang Wanqing.
It's not just because Jiang Wanqing's father guards the border.
It was also because Yi Changning had heard the story of Jiang Wanqing.
Although she had been married for only three days, the Marquis of Xingchang died suddenly.
However, Jiang Wanqing still supported such a large marquisate.
Moreover, two days ago, Jiang Wanqing went to Chunfeng Tower to ask for an explanation for the second young lady in the Marquis' Mansion.
Others might think that Jiang Wanqing was violating the rules by going to Chunfeng Tower.
But in Yi Changning's opinion, Jiang Wanqing must be kind-hearted to be able to do this for her late husband's sister.
Yi Changning once again raised his hand and bowed to Jiang Wanqing.
With a deep look in his eyes, he said, "Thank you, Madam! Changning will remember your kindness, and will repay you in the future."
Jiang Wanqing saved more than just a leg.
It is everything to Yi Changning.
For him, the road to retirement is everything he has.
Get the answer you want.
Jiang Wanqing also breathed a sigh of relief.
Smiling, he said, "Then I wish Master Yi all the best and success in the examination."
After saying that, Jiang Wanqing left.
And Yi Changning looked at Jiang Wanqing's departing back.
But he showed an expression of deep thought.
After resolving the issue with Yi Changning, Jiang Wanqing returned to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion.
But this time, Jiang Wanqing got off the carriage at the door of his house.
Several maids rushed to the door.
Jiang Wanqing was supported by Mo Yu and got off the carriage.
Looking from a distance, I felt that those maids looked very unfamiliar.
When I saw the clothes on the maid.
Jiang Wanqing finally realized what was going on.
These maids.
Isn't she the maid in my eldest sister-in-law's house?
Could it be that my elder sister-in-law is back?
The next moment, the leading maid appeared with an air of pretentiousness.
Came in front of Jiang Wanqing.
He raised his head and said, "Madam, my wife said that if you come back, you should go directly to the old lady."
Jiang Wanqing raised his eyebrows.
Didn't say anything.
Then she followed the maid and walked towards the old lady's yard.
Mo Yu lowered his voice and said, "Madam, the old lady saw that she couldn't defeat you, so she called for reinforcements, right?"
Jiang Wanqing laughed coldly: "If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth! What are you afraid of!"
Over the past year or so, my elder sister-in-law Zhou Ziyi has taken a lot of money from here every month.
Now the old lady was so angry that she fainted.
I'm afraid Zhou Ziyi wants to settle both old and new grudges together.
After Jiang Wanqing arrived at Old Madam Zhou's yard.
Jiang Wanqing was about to step into the old lady's room.
Unexpectedly, a maid stood beside her and blocked Jiang Wanqing's way.
Staring at Jiang Wanqing, he said, "Madam, the old lady is still resting. Otherwise, please wait in the yard. If the old lady wakes up, you can go in."
Jiang Wanqing turned her head and looked at the maid.
It brought back a moment: "You mean, the old lady is not awake yet?"
The maid hesitated for a moment, then said in a harsh voice, "The old lady has been unconscious since she came out of your yard."
Although the maid was afraid of Jiang Wanqing's identity, she felt more confident when she thought that these things were ordered by that person.
Jiang Wanqing understood after hearing this.
I'm afraid that this matter was either directed at Zhou Ziyi or at the old lady as a warning to myself.
At that moment, Jiang Wanqing took a step back.
He slowly said, "Since mother hasn't woken up yet, I will go back to my own courtyard first. When the old lady wakes up, she can call me over!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanqing turned around and prepared to leave.
