Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 417 Xuehui's Counterattack

At this time, Mrs. Jiang had returned to the room and told her husband everything.

"What did you say? This is too much bullying, isn't it? This is simply too much bullying. What does the Xue family want to do? It's too overbearing!" Jiang Boyou said

"Master, please don't be angry. Tell me what we should do first." Mrs. Jiang said

"What should I do? What else can I do? I will go to the court tomorrow to file a complaint!" Jiang Boyou said angrily

"Master, are you crazy? How could you do this? Who is the Xue family? Who are we? How can we possibly defeat them?"

"They have the Xingwu Guards in the capital, the Queen Mother in the palace, and a son-in-law, Marquis Dingyuan, outside the city. What do we have? Master, you must not be impulsive."

"Now they just want our Xuehui to get married, and they can choose the person themselves. If it gets out of hand, it will be hard to say, Master." Madam Jiang advised.
"How can we find a suitable candidate in such a hurry? Xuehui will still suffer in the end. Getting married is a matter of a lifetime." Jiang Boyou said

"My Lord, didn't the Xue family agree to help? Since they want our daughter to get married sooner, they won't just sit there and wait. Can't we just let them introduce someone?" Mrs. Jiang said

"Madam, now we are all members of the Xue family. Do you know why I am able to hold the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Isn't it because I have nothing to do with the Xue family? If this time it has something to do with the Xue family, then wouldn't it be? Then wouldn't His Majesty want it?" Jiang Boyou said directly

"I know, I know what you mean, Master. Then let me find it myself. We can find it ourselves. It should be ok, Master. We really can't afford to offend them." Madam Jiang said

"Hey, Xue family, Xue family, forget it, I will think of a solution tomorrow. You too, choose one as soon as possible. By the way, talk to Hui'er nicely and be nicer." Jiang Boyou said

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, Master, don't worry." Mrs. Jiang said

After hearing this, Jiang Boyou nodded and stopped talking about it. Mrs. Jiang naturally stopped talking too, so the two of them took a rest.

"Time soon came to the next day. After Jiang Boyou went to court, Madam Jiang went straight to her daughter's room.

"Hui'er, I discussed it with your father last night, and we finally decided to find a family for you. You should get married as soon as possible. Don't worry, your father and I will not let you down."

"Although time is indeed a bit tight, we will definitely make a good choice. Okay, stop thinking about it and have a good rest. I will find someone when the time comes, and you can choose one."

When Jiang Xuehui heard this, she nodded directly. When Mrs. Jiang saw her daughter's look, she nodded and then got up and left.

After seeing her mother off, Jiang Xuehui sat on the chair with a calm expression, but from her slightly wrinkled handkerchief, it could be seen that she was not calm at the moment.

And she was indeed a little angry. After all, she would endure this feeling before because she owed it to Jiang Xuening. But now, this time, she didn't want to accept her fate.

She wanted to do something, at least not let the Xue family be so comfortable. Not everyone could make her give in, and she couldn't give in this time!

In the next two days, the wealthy families in Beijing suddenly received a piece of news, that is, the Jiang family began to anxiously choose a husband for their eldest daughter.

They didn't take this matter seriously, after all, it was normal.

However, to Xue Shu, this news was extremely good, so she was very happy. At this time, she received an invitation from Jiang Xuehui to meet her.

Xue Shu, who already had confidence in her heart, naturally went there happily. However, after meeting Jiang Xuehui, she was not so happy anymore.

"What did you say? You want to marry my brother? Impossible, don't dream!" Xue Shu said in surprise
"Ms. Xue, you said a few days ago that your Xue family would help. Why are you going to regret it now? If you regret it, then I can regret it too." Jiang Xuehui said

"You dare! Jiang Xuehui, do you think my Xue family is afraid of you?" Xue Shu said in a deep voice
"The Xue family is naturally not afraid. But as for you, Miss Xue, it's hard to say. After all, if I make a fuss, no matter who becomes the queen in the end, it won't be you or me."

"It's fine for me. At most I can just find someone to marry. But what about you, Miss Xue? You will be useless, so you have to think it over carefully." Jiang Xuehui said with a smile

"You, so what if you can't be the principal wife? At most you can be a concubine. I'm still useful to him and I'll pay him the same price. But what about you? You'll be worse off than me!" Xue Shu said coldly.
"Yes, you can become a concubine, but you caused King Linzi to lose his beloved. How do you think he will treat you? Don't think that he will forget me in a few years."

"It is precisely because he can't get it that he will always remember it. As long as he remembers it, you will never have a good life in this life!" Jiang Xuehui continued

"Jiang Xuehui, you! You! You hid really well. Fortunately, I found you now. If you really entered the palace in the future, I might not be your opponent." Xue Shu said in surprise.

"Miss Xue, you are too kind. You caused me to lose my position as a princess. I must compensate you. Looking at the court and the country, only the princess consort of Prince Xue can be considered good, right?" Jiang Xuehui said

"Jiang Xuehui, you are right. My brother's Crown Prince's Consort is indeed a very good position, but this position will never be given to you. Don't dream on." "Do you think my words will work? If they work, then I won't need a marriage, right? So you should change the conditions." Xue Shu said in a deep voice
"Miss Xue, you don't have to belittle yourself. Without me, you are 100% the Princess of Linzi, and the future Queen. Do you think Duke Dingguo will listen to you?"

"Ms. Xue, don't blame me for not reminding you. Sometimes you should think more about yourself. Not everything in this family is for your own good, right?"

"I think it's a good deal to trade the position of a Crown Prince's Consort for the position of the future Queen, isn't it? Think about it carefully, and come back to me when you've made up your mind."

"But I'll only give you three days. If you don't come after three days, I'll go to the Linzi Palace. By the way, don't even think about killing me during these three days."

"My good sister didn't come back a few days ago for nothing. She knows you very well. If something happens to me, King Linzi will know my identity very soon."

"I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be, right?" Jiang Xuehui said

"Jiang Xuehui, you! Good, Jiang Xuehui, you win. I will report your request to my father when I return, but I don't know whether he will agree to it." Xue Shu said
"Okay, then I'll wait for good news. I hope you won't let me down, elder sister." Jiang Xuehui said

When Xue Shu heard this name, she got up and left without saying a word, because she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to resist hitting someone.

Looking at Xue Shu's departing back, Jiang Xuehui didn't even smile, because she knew that this marriage would not be successful.

There is no way the Xue family would agree to this, because it would be more trouble than gain for them. Her purpose is just to take revenge on Xue Shu.

After all, this kind of thing of being bullied by someone at home had happened once before. That time, she and her biological mother owed her, so she endured it.

But this time, she was not going to endure it. She was going to fight for it. Even if it didn't end well in the end, she would still do it.

However, her desperate move made Xue Shu extremely anxious and uneasy. Xue Shu couldn't understand where Jiang Xuehui got the courage from.

I've never heard of her having such a personality before? How come she suddenly became so difficult to deal with? Even more difficult than her sister. Wait, her sister?

Academic thought of this, Xue Shu thought of this, and instantly thought of a possibility, could it be that Jiang Xue Ning taught all this? It is very likely, after all, this approach is Jiang Xue Ning's way at first glance.

Yes, that must be the case. This damn Jiang Xuening, pretending to be weak and aggrieved in front of the princess while stabbing herself in the back, is so insidious!

At this moment, Jiang Xuening didn't know that Xue Shu had already hated her. At this moment, she was sitting in her room, worrying about what was happening to Yan Lin.

After all, the last incident happened suddenly, and she still doesn’t know what happened. She worries about it every day, so much so that she doesn’t even understand her own family affairs.

Meanwhile, Xue Shu had returned home and went straight to her father, telling him everything about Jiang Xuehui.

"What? You are dreaming. Who the hell is Jiang Xuehui? She wants to be the daughter-in-law of my Xue family? Do you really think I can't do anything to her?" Xue Yuan said angrily.
"Father, please calm down. Father, please calm down. It's easy to deal with Jiang Xuehui, but if something happens to her, your daughter won't be able to be the principal wife of King Linzi."

"Our family has been busy on this matter for so long, it doesn't make sense for the biggest benefit to be picked up by someone else, so father, please don't be impulsive, lest you lose the big picture for the small one." Xue Shu said
"Yes, Shu'er, what you said makes sense. Jiang Xuehui really can't be touched. At least she can't be related to us. Otherwise, it will easily delay important matters."

"But your brother's marriage, your father has already made plans, and Jiang Xuehui is not qualified. What do you think?" Xue Yuandao
"Father, speaking of this, it was my eldest brother who gave me the idea in advance. Why don't you ask him to come over? Maybe he has some good ideas." Xue Shu said
"Yes, that's right. You're right. Someone, go get the eldest master." Xue Yuan said.
When Cao Cheng learned that his father was looking for him, he stood up immediately. When he learned that his sister was also there, he vaguely guessed that it was about Jiang Xuehui.

However, even though he was prepared, he was still shocked after learning about this.

"Sister, did I hear it right? Are you sure it was Jiang Xuehui who suggested it?" Cao Cheng asked in surprise
"That's right, brother. Jiang Xuehui told me that herself." Xue Shu said hurriedly
"This, this is not right. This is impossible. How could Jiang Xuehui's personality highlight this requirement? This is obviously the case? This is obviously the case?" Cao Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

"Brother, you also think that this is not Jiang Xuehui's idea, right? This is Jiang Xuening's idea. Only Jiang Xuening can come up with such an idea that harms others and does not benefit herself!" Xue Shu said dissatisfiedly
"Ahem, Shu'er, stop talking. I told you that Jiang Xuening is Shi Zhiyi's friend, so you shouldn't talk nonsense. I just calmed things down." Cao Cheng said
"Yes, yes, I understand, big brother. Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I just don't know what to do about Jiang Xuehui's request." Xue Shu said
"Well, godfather, if it were you, I would say you should just let Ye'er marry Jiang Xuehui. Although their family status is a bit low, their position is crucial."

"No matter what, Jiang Boyou is also the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He has always been a fence-sitter. No matter how we try to win him over, he won't respond to us."

"Why don't we take this opportunity to win this old man over to our side? If so, Your Majesty will be unable to handle the Ministry of Revenue alone." Cao Cheng said
"Cheng'er, although what you said makes sense, your father has already made plans for Ye'er's marriage. His Majesty is about to pass away, and the new emperor will take the throne by then."

"It is inevitable that a new emperor will have new ministers. Wouldn't it be better to choose a family from those new nobles as a marriage partner? If I marry Jiang Boyou now, it will be a waste."

"After all, how could His Majesty not think of such a thing? I'm afraid that if we get married, he will be demoted to a sinecure right after, which is not worth the loss." Xue Yuan said
Well, godfather, what you said makes sense, but the key right now is how to make Shu'er become the princess smoothly. If this problem is not solved, I'm afraid it won't work, right?
"How about letting my second brother marry a concubine first?" Cao Cheng said
"A concubine? That's not impossible, but I'm afraid the Jiang family won't agree." Xue Yuan said
"Foster father, whether we agree or not, we have to give it a try. After all, there is still time. Shu'er, tell Jiang Xuehui tomorrow that we can only give her to a concubine."

"I don't think she will agree. Then you can take advantage of the situation and introduce the sons of those families who are on good terms with us to her and let her choose one herself." Cao Cheng said
"I understand, big brother. I'll be there tomorrow. Father, I'll be out first." Xue Shu said
"Okay, then you go back first. I will discuss some things with your brother." Xue Yuan said
After Xue Shu left, Xue Yuan asked, "Cheng'er, how are things going over there?"

"Foster father, things are going very smoothly. Zhou Yinzhi has received the letter, but he still hasn't gotten the seal." Cao Cheng said
"Okay, it's good to see some progress. There are too many things going on right now. If we really get it, I'm afraid we won't have time for it all at once. It's better to take it slowly." Xue Yuandao
