Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 425: Jiang Boyou

After hearing this, Shen Jie was silent for a while. Yes, who could he find now to shake his mother's decision and make her change her mind?

He sadly discovered that no one was left, no one could stop this, and all those who could influence this matter were now powerless.

"Brother, it seems that you know. Since you know, I won't hide it anymore. I talked to my husband for a long time yesterday, and Xue Ning and I also talked for a long time."

"There's no way to change this matter. Give up, second brother. Don't think about it anymore. Thinking about it will only hurt yourself. Go back and have a good rest." Shen Zhiyi said

"But, but, how can we just forget about something like this? Well, since Zhiyi you don't want to change, I'll leave first, but I won't give up." Shen Jie said and left.

Shen Zhiyi looked at her second brother's departing back, shook her head helplessly, and then returned to the room. At this time, Jiang Xuening had been waiting for her here for a long time.

"Ningning, my second brother still doesn't want to give up. He wants to drag me along to resist together." Shen Zhiyi said

"Your Highness, what about you? Do you want to resist? Or are you really willing?" Jiang Xuening asked

"What if I am willing? What if I am not willing? What can I do? What else can I do? Ningning, my brother, my mother, my uncle, everyone wants this to succeed."

"What should I do at this time? What can I do?" Shen Zhiyi said helplessly.

"Your Highness, if that's the case, then I'd better tell you about my sister. After all, I thought you still have time to improve, so?" Jiang Xuening hesitated and said

After finishing her words, Jiang Xuening began to tell Shen Zhiyi in detail about her adopted sister. Of course, she didn't really know her sister, she could only introduce her impression of her.

An hour passed and the room finally became quiet again.

"Okay, Ningning, you must be tired after talking so much, right? Go back and take a rest." Shen Zhiyi said

"Your Highness, I don't want to rest. I want to leave the palace and go home." Jiang Xuening said in a deep voice

"Hmm? Going home? Well, well, given the current situation, it's time for her to know. Please help me go back and tell her." Shen Zhiyi said softly.

"Okay, Your Highness, I understand. I'll take my leave now." Jiang Xuening said and left. Meanwhile, Shen Jie had nowhere to go because he hadn't achieved his goal. He could only wander around the palace and happened to run into Jiang Xuening who was leaving the palace.

"Miss Jiang Er, are you leaving the palace? Where are you going? Are you planning to go back?" Shen Jie asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. I am about to go back. Why haven't you been yet?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Oh, I'm delayed by something. I'll leave right away. Miss Jiang Er, I have something to ask of you. Can you help me pass on a message to her?" Shen Jie said with some embarrassment.

"Well, okay, but I don't know what you plan to say to her, Your Highness?" Jiang Xuening said

"Please ask her if she can see me." Shen Jie said directly.
"Well, okay, I understand, Your Highness. I will tell my sister." Jiang Xuening said

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Second Miss. Goodbye, goodbye. By the way, if she has a reply, please tell Yan Lin." Shen Jie said.
Jiang Xuening didn't say anything after hearing this, but nodded. Shen Jie knew it was time for him to leave, so he went straight out of the palace and got on his carriage.

Jiang Xuening also got on her own carriage and headed for her own mansion. When she arrived home, she found her parents waiting for her at the door.

"Father and mother, why are you waiting here? This, this?" Jiang Xue Ning asked

"Okay, Xue Ning, let's go in and talk about what we have to say. We can talk slowly inside." Jiang Boyou said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening didn't say anything, but followed her parents into the flower hall.

"Xue Ning, you're back this time, but is there any news about that matter?" Mrs. Jiang asked

"Yes, father, mother, this matter has been settled. My sister has been promised to Marquis Dingyuan as his concubine. I estimate that Marquis Dingyuan will come to our house in a few days." Jiang Xuening said

"What? This, this, this, what should I do? What should I do? Why did it suddenly become like this? Wasn't she the legal wife of the Chang family before? How did she become a concubine?"

"Moreover, she is the concubine of the consort of Marquis Dingyuan. This, this, this?" Madam Jiang asked

"I don't know the specific details. I only know that the princess went to ask His Majesty for help, and Prince Linzi also went to the Cining Palace to cause a scene."

"Even Marquis Dingyuan stood outside the Cining Palace for several hours, but the result did not change. The Queen Mother has made up her mind." Jiang Xuening said

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was so full of things to say that she couldn't say a word. After all, her daughter had just said that so many people couldn't change the result.

What hope could he have? So she could only remain silent, and so did Jiang Boyou. However, Jiang Boyou was used to the storms and soon recovered.

"Xue Ning, you've worked hard all day, go back and have a good rest." Jiang Boyou said

"Father, I think it would be more appropriate for me to talk to my sister, so what do you think?" Jiang Xuening said

"That's fine, then go ahead and let Xuehui prepare early." Jiang Boyou said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening stood up, bowed, and left. After she left, Madam Jiang asked, "Master, is there really no other way?"

"Didn't you hear what Xue Ning said just now? Everyone who could influence this matter has tried, but it's useless. This matter can no longer be changed." Jiang Boyou said

"But, but if she competes with the princess for a man, how will Xuehui live in the future? My poor daughter." Madam Jiang said

"Alright, stop crying. What's the point of crying? Instead of crying, you might as well think about what to say when Marquis Dingyuan comes." Jiang Boyou said directly

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang knew that what her husband said was right, so she nodded and stopped talking. At the same time, Jiang Xuening had already entered Jiang Xuehui's room.

The two sisters sat opposite each other, but neither of them spoke first. After a long time, Jiang Xue Ning said, "Sometimes I really don't understand. Are you really not anxious at all?"

"We've been sitting here for so long, and you didn't even ask me a question?" "What's the point of me getting anxious? Your coming back this time has already explained a lot of problems, hasn't it? So why should I ask?" Jiang Xuehui said directly

"You, you really are. I really worried about you for nothing. Well, let me tell you. Listen carefully. You are promised to be the concubine of Marquis Dingyuan." Jiang Xuening said

"Hmm? Marquis Dingyuan? How is this possible? This shouldn't happen? Why?" Jiang Xuehui asked

"Oh, so you are anxious too. I thought you really didn't care. Don't think about it. Who made King Linzi fall in love with you? If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have become a concubine."

"I'm telling you, this is what happened. Do you understand now? It's already a foregone conclusion and there's no way to change it. To be honest, this is also my fault."

"I underestimated the resistance behind this. If I hadn't gone to find Shen Jie, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later. To be honest, I am sorry for you." Jiang Xue Ning said

"No, I don't blame you. This matter was destined from the beginning. I was destined not to be with him. Thank you for coming back today to tell me this. I understand." Jiang Xuehui said

"No? That's it? Why don't you say anything more? Have you forgotten that I told you that Shen Jie wanted to see you? You haven't answered me yet?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Since things can't be changed, why should I meet him again? Even if I meet him, what else can it do except adding to my troubles?" Jiang Xuehui said

"You are open-minded, but he may not be. I suggest you meet him, at least to sever this relationship, otherwise there will be hidden dangers."

"Don't forget, the reason this happened was because the Xue family wanted Xue Shu to marry him. Haven't you heard about his future identity?" Jiang Xue Ning said

"Well, okay, then I'll meet you. But where should we meet? If outsiders find out, I'm afraid there will be trouble." Jiang Xuehui said worriedly

"Don't worry, I've thought about this a long time ago. Just meet openly and honestly. There's no need to hide anything. Because no matter how well you hide it, it will definitely not be hidden from the eyes of the Xingwu Guards."

"It would be easy to cause trouble even if nothing is wrong, so just invite Shen Jie to your house and meet him openly." Jiang Xue Ning said

"This is a good idea, but will my father agree?" Jiang Xuehui said.

"Father, don't worry. I will tell him. You just need to think about how to cut off this fate when we meet." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Okay then. Thank you for your help. I will consider it carefully." Jiang Xuehui said

"Well, then you take a rest first. I'll leave first." Jiang Xuening said and left directly.

It was at this time that Jiang Xuehui changed. Her face looked a little ugly. After all, although she didn't like fighting, she still disliked having a concubine.

She is a very proud person. In her heart, she is actually very resistant to becoming a concubine, but she is also very rational.

She knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was no room for maneuver, so she acted very calmly just now.

But Jiang Xuening didn't know all this at this time. She returned to the flower hall where she had been just now. Yes, Jiang Boyu and Madam Jiang had not left and had been waiting for her.

"Father, mother, I have already explained everything to my sister. Now there is a problem. Before I came back, King Linzi came to me and said that he wanted to see my sister."

"I have just asked my sister what she thinks. She is willing to meet him, so I want you to invite Prince Linzi to come to the mansion." Jiang Xuening said

"What? This won't work, this won't work, how can this work? What will other people think? What if the Xue family thinks too much? What if Marquis Dingyuan gets angry?" Mrs. Jiang said

"Mother, I know you are worried, but I have to see my sister. If he can't see my sister, King Linzi will not be willing. What if he causes trouble again?"

"Then my sister can no longer be a concubine. She will only be sentenced to death." Jiang Xue Ning said

"Xue Ning is right. We must see this side, but what? We still can't let them see it like this. We need to find someone to be a witness."

"Otherwise, our family will be unable to defend ourselves." Jiang Boyou said

"Hmm? Father, what do you mean? Invite Marquis Dingyuan directly? But if so, will there be any conflict between them?" Jiang Xuening asked worriedly

"No matter if they have a conflict or not, this person must be invited. Otherwise, this side cannot be seen. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles." Jiang Boyou said

"Well, then I will go back to the palace tomorrow to inform His Highness. After all, I cannot hide such a big thing from the princess." Xue Ning said
"Okay, this is as it should be. Xuehui will be working for the princess in the future, so we can't offend her now. Well, it's getting late, let's go back and rest." Jiang Boyou said

Jiang Xuening nodded immediately after hearing this, and then turned and left. After she left, Madam Jiang asked, "Master, is this trip possible? What if?"

"There's no chance of that happening. This is the best solution. If this doesn't work, then we can only wait to hold Xuehui's funeral." Jiang Boyou said in a heavy tone.
Mrs. Jiang stopped talking immediately after hearing this. Time passed slowly and soon it was the next day. Jiang Xuening returned to the palace early in the morning and told Shen Zhiyi what happened.

"You said that your second brother wanted to see your sister. And your father wanted to find my husband as well?" Shen Zhiyi asked

"Yes, Your Highness, that's right. Only in this way can we avoid future troubles. Your Highness, I know this is a bit unfair to you, but what about my sister?"

"Your Highness, if His Royal Highness Prince Linzi causes any more trouble, my sister will have no choice but to be executed, so I hope Your Highness will grant my wish." Jiang Xuening bowed and said

"Oh, okay, okay, get up quickly. Why are you going through all the formalities? Isn't it just to ask my husband to go over? It's no big deal, just go." Shen Zhiyi said

After hearing this, Jiang Xuening thanked her profusely and then left Shen Zhiyi's bedroom. After she left, Shen Zhiyi directly arranged for her maid to go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"What did you say? The princess asked me to see Jiang Xuehui? Did she really say that?" Cao Cheng asked

"In reply to the Prince Consort, Her Highness did say so. She also said that the Jiang family will send an invitation when the time comes, and you just need to agree directly." said the maid
"She, she is really generous. No, let's go now. I want to see the madam." After Cao Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, and the maid followed closely behind him.

Cao Cheng's face looked very ugly all the way, and there was no change even after he entered Shen Zhiyi's room.
