The scumbag ex-husband knelt down to salute, and gritted his teeth to meet the emperor's aunt

Chapter 19 019: The Eve (2)

After lunch, looking at the slightly drunk Jiang Yu, Jiang Xi helped him to rest on the bed in the study next to him.

Jiang Xi took out a book from the nearby bookshelf and read it. It was "Guiguzi", which she had often read before.

While reading a book, Jiang Xi paid attention to Jiang Yu's state. During the time when he was helping him to the bed, he kept calling "Ning Ning".

Her mother's boudoir name was Shen Ning.

After three incense sticks, Jiang Xi stood up when she heard the movement outside the door. When she opened the door, she saw Zhu Shi standing at the door.

Zhu Shi held a food box in his hand, as if he wanted to deliver food to Jiang Yu.

"Third Miss." Zhu said with a smile on her face, "Why is Third Miss in Master's study?"

Jiang Xi looked at the expression on Zhu's face, and put her finger on her lips, "Daddy is resting, so don't disturb him, auntie."

Zhu's face darkened, and she was about to speak, when she heard Jiang Xi's voice again, "Auntie, I remember Dad told me that no one is allowed to enter his study."

Zhu's face darkened again.

"Auntie, people must be self-aware, don't you think so?" Jiang Xi looked at Zhu Shi with the corners of her lips bent, and the smile in her eyes seemed to prove that she was harmless to humans and animals.

"I admit that my aunt has worked hard in the prime minister's mansion these years, but I still want to persuade my aunt not to think about getting things that don't belong to me." She tilted her head and smiled at Mrs. Zhu, "Auntie, do you think so?"

Looking at the expression on Zhu Shi's face, Jiang Xi wanted to reach out to take the food box in Zhu Shi's hand, but Zhu Shi hid it, and only heard her voice, "I suddenly remembered that the food inside is not suitable for the master. .”

Looking at Zhu's fleeing figure, she already guessed in her heart what kind of food would be in the food box.

When she was about to go back to the study, she saw Jiang Yu standing there with a sullen face, as if she had seen the previous scene.

"Father..." Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Yu and said with a smile, "Before you..."

"Mr. Zhu has made up his mind, and of course I know it all too well." He clenched the hand hanging by his side as he spoke.

Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Yu with a slight smile on his face, "Father doesn't have to take Auntie to heart, and I certainly won't."

She walked up to Jiang Yu in a few steps, and put her hand on his arm, "Since Daddy is awake, I'll go and see Yao'er and Nanny, and I'll be ready to send Yao'er to Suiyang Academy in a few days. "

After getting Jiang Yu's response, Jiang Xi walked away from the room to the "Guiguzi" that he had read before, "I'll return it to Dad when I finish reading it."

On the way back to Jianjiaju, she met Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao taking Jiang Xing and Jiang Wan to release paper kites in the garden. They were short and the two little girls were not tall enough, so the kites could not fly in their hands.

"I've seen the third girl (the third sister)" Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao hurriedly saluted her with the two little girls.

Mrs. Zhang put the paper kite in her hand behind her in a flustered expression, "Let the third girl see the joke."

"I think it's pretty good." Jiang Xi frowned and smiled at Mrs. Zhang and the others.

The biggest advantage of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao is that they did not join forces with Mrs. Zhu to get Jiang Yu's favor. Jiang Yu.

However, Mrs. Zhu didn't think so. She only wanted to get the position of wife and Jiang Yu's heart, but everyone knew that Jiang Yu's heart could no longer accommodate anyone other than her mother.

"Third sister, can you take us to release paper kites?" The younger Jiang Wan opened her big eyes, which were full of expectation.

"Seventh girl, don't lose your manners." Mrs. Zhao glanced at Jiang Wan with a slightly nervous expression. She didn't dare to look at the expression on Jiang Xi's face, so she quickly said in a low voice, "Third Miss, don't care about Seventh Girl... ..."

"Okay." Jiang Xi knelt down and looked at Jiang Wan in front of him, smiling and curling her lips, "The weather in the afternoon is not bad, how about I take you to the countryside for an outing after the Guining Banquet tomorrow?"

"Okay." The voices of Jiang Xing and Jiang Wan sounded at the same time, with childish smiles on their faces, "We want to go for an outing."

Jiang Xi glanced at Zhang Shi and Zhao Shi who were a little embarrassed, and lowered her voice, "Auntie, can you give me the paper kite in your hand?" She said and stretched out her hand to Zhang Shi who was standing in front of her.

After receiving the paper kite handed over by Mrs. Zhang, Jiang Xi rearranged it again. Looking at the dilapidated paper kite, Jiang Xi could vaguely imagine what kind of life these two aunts lived in the mansion.

"Third Miss..." Mrs. Zhao was a little nervous, "It made us abrupt..."

"Why didn't you tell daddy? Mrs. Zhu made it difficult for you two?" Jiang Xi glanced at the two of them and said in a low voice, "You are all concubines, there is no distinction between high and low."

"The third girl was joking. All the maids in the mansion were bought by Sister Zhu. They all said that Sister Zhu was the most likely to become the next wife." There was a gentle smile on Mrs. Zhang's face.

"Our status is low, and being favored by the Prime Minister is a blessing that has been cultivated for half a lifetime. How dare we dare to compete with Sister Zhu." Zhao continued to echo Zhang's words.

"I hope that my aunt will never forget what I said now." Jiang Xi looked at them with a smile.

For Zhang and Zhao, Jiang Xi didn't have much impression in her previous life. She only knew that they crashed into a wall and died after learning of Jiang Yu's death. With a little care, they trusted him wholeheartedly.

Jiang Xi didn't look at the expressions on the faces of the two of them. After adjusting the paper kite in her hand, she pulled the paper kite and ran, and it didn't take long for the paper kite to fly along the thread in her hand.

I don't know if the kite is too old, or the thread in my hand is wrong, but the kite disappeared against the wind not long after it flew into the sky.

She looked down and saw Jiang Xing and Jiang Wan with tears in their eyes and dejected.

"Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, the paper kites in Auntie's hands are too old, can I make you a big one during the outing?" Jiang Xi squatted down and looked at them, "When the time comes, you and Fifth Brother will release paper kites together, okay?" ?”

The children's sorrow came and went quickly, and after hearing that new paper kites were going to be made for them, both of them showed bright smiles.

After Jiang Xi said goodbye to them, he walked towards Jianjiaju. Jiang Yao in Jianjiaju was also flying with a paper kite. After all, Jiang Xing and Jiang Wan were two years older and taller than Jiang Xing and Jiang Wan. After pulling and running for a while, it flew up.

"Sister, look at my kite flying up." Jiang Yao had a childish smile on his face.

Jiang Xi rarely relaxed, took the rope handed over by Jiang Yao and placed the kite higher and farther away.

"Yao'er, after Jiang Yin returns to Ningyan tomorrow, I will take you to the countryside for an outing."

"Us?" Jiang Yao looked surprised, "Who else? Sixth sister and seventh sister?"

Jiang Xi looked at them and nodded, "Yes, they also released paper kites in the garden just now, but their paper kites were too old, so they let them fly."

Seeing Jiang Yao hesitate to speak, Jiang Xi handed the thread to Jing Zhe, she pulled Jiang Yao to sit down on the stone bench next to her, "Yaoer, what's the matter, I see you hesitate to speak look."

"Sister, there is something, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Let me hear it?" Jiang Xi patted Jiang Yao's head as he spoke, "About Seventh Sister and Eighth Sister?"

"I saw Aunt Zhu bullying the Sixth and Seventh Sisters before, but Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhao didn't seem to have talked about it with Dad."

"Bullying them?" Jiang Xi frowned.

Jiang Yao spoke very logically, and Jiang Xi quickly figured out what was going on?

It seems that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao didn't trust her enough, so they didn't tell her about it.

It seems that at tomorrow's Guining Banquet, she will also prepare a big gift for Mrs. Zhu!
