Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 21 The Second Lady's Thoughts

At this moment, Qiao An and the others also came out of the wing room, entered the main room, and asked, "How is it, have you revealed anything?"

"No, Miss pretended to be ill to fool her!" The nanny replied, "I'm just afraid that this marriage will be more difficult!"

Su Jiu put down her raised legs, thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled lightly, raised her head and asked, "Does this second lady have a son too?"

The nanny nodded, "Yes, the second son of the Ji family is very smart, and he has already won the Juren prize at the age of 19."

The lady of Ji's mansion is the empress of the palace, it seems that these two young masters are also going to develop their official careers.

"That's it! Don't worry, knowing that Miss Su's illness is serious, the second wife might try to make this marriage possible!" Su Jiu said lightly with a thin smile on her lips.

"Why is that?" Hu Dapao asked.

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, but smiled silently.

Both Joan and the nanny looked pensive, and after a while, they nodded slightly.

On the carriage back to Ji Mansion, the second lady leaned on the soft pillow, closed her eyes and meditated.

Yuan'er waited on her side by pinching her shoulders.

"Yuan'er, what do you think of this young lady of the Su family?" The second lady raised her lips without opening her eyes.

Yuan'er knelt on the carriage, kneading her soft pancreas gently, pursing her lips with disdain, and said with a smile, "I don't even dare to lift my head, like a country girl, I can't get on the stage, I really don't deserve it Eldest son!"

"The Su family can be considered a big family. Mrs. Su was also a well-known beauty in Shengjing before, how did she raise such a petty daughter?" The second lady frowned, then chuckled, "She still looks sick, With such an illness, I don't know if I can live long enough to marry Ji Yuxian!"

"Madam really let her marry in?" Yuan'er asked in a low voice.

The second lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "The marriage was arranged when the eldest lady was here. Now that Miss Su's family has found Shengjing, how can she not marry?"

"But she looks like that," she is really not worthy to be the mistress of the Ji Mansion.

"Why don't you deserve it? She looks beautiful, no worse than that Lan Zhihui!" The second lady said softly.

"Yes!" Yuan'er nodded in response, and whispered in the second lady's ear, "I heard that Lu Xiang intends to marry our Ji mansion, and wants to marry the third lady of the mansion to the eldest son. Take the trouble to refuse!"

Today, there are three sons in the Holy Spirit, the eldest prince Yu Wang, the second prince Zhao Wang, and the third prince Rui Wang.

The crown prince has not yet been decided, the factions in the DPRK and China are deeply divided, and the civil and military officials each have their own candidates to support, so secretly fighting is naturally inevitable.

King Yu married the young lady of the Xiangfu, Xiang Lu is naturally a member of the Yuwang family, and now he wants to marry his daughter to the Jifu, it seems that he wants to win over the Ji family for the Yuwang.

Although the Ji government has no right not to participate in politics, it controls the economic lifeline of Daliang and plays a pivotal role in Shengjing.

Moreover, fighting for power also requires money.

Yuan'er has been with the second lady for five years, how could she not understand the second lady's mind, she will definitely not let Ji Yuxian marry the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, now a daughter of the Su family has come, who can't make it to the stage, and is sick and weak, for For the second wife, it is precisely the best candidate.

The second lady smiled and nodded, "This trip really didn't come in vain!"

Back to Daoji Mansion, the second lady got out of the carriage and asked, "Is the eldest son in the mansion?"

Song Guanshi said, "Back to the second wife, the eldest son didn't go out today, he is in his yard!"

The second lady nodded and went to Izumo Pavilion.

Izumo Pavilion is the largest courtyard in the entire Ji Mansion. In the courtyard, the winding water flows into the cup, and the pavilions and rockeries lead to warm underground water into the courtyard. In the cold weather of late autumn, the courtyard is still as warm as spring and full of prosperity.

The attic corridors in the courtyard are hidden among the green pines and green willows, which are quaint and heavy, showing the style and luxury of the richest man in Shengjing everywhere.

Walking along the Chaoshou corridor, I heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo. Butler Yu came over, saluted the second lady, and said, "Young master is in the Yuhua hall, and the old slave brought the second lady there!"

"Please trouble the housekeeper!" The second lady smiled gently.

Steward Yu has been in the Ji Mansion for 40 years and has served the three generations of the Ji family. He is very prestigious in the Ji family, almost equivalent to half the master, so even the second wife respects the housekeeper very much.

As they walked towards the flower hall, the sound of silk and bamboo and women's laughter became more and more clear.

Walking to the door, Steward Yu pushed the door open, bowed his head and said, "Young Master, the second lady is here!"

The flower hall was covered with snow-white velvet blankets, and Ji Yuxian, dressed in dark red, was lazily leaning on the low couch, with black hair spread horizontally, red lips, toga in a disheveled state, and thin phoenix eyes dyed thinly. Drunk, when she looks up, she looks coquettish.

Under the low couch, Ji Yuxian's concubine Xie Ying knelt on the ground, peeled the grapes, and was feeding the crystal clear fruit into Ji Yuxian's mouth with her slender hands.

Ji Yuxian opened her thin lips, held the pearl in her mouth, and said with a light smile, "Let the second lady come in!"

As soon as his voice fell, the woman playing the piano next to him stopped immediately, bowed to Ji Yuxian and stepped back.

Xie Ying also suppressed the charming smile on her face, stood up sensiblely and said, "I will leave first!"

"En!" Ji Yuxian responded lightly.

Xie Ying exited through the side door, and the second lady just walked in, with a kind smile on her face, "Yu Xian!"

"Second Madam!" Ji Yuxian sat up slightly, replaced the wine in his hand with tea, and said lightly from his red lips, "Second Madam, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing important. I live in the same house, but I haven't seen you for many days. I'm thinking about it. I know you didn't go out today, so I came to have a look!" The second lady smiled gently.

A servant served tea, and the second lady took a sip and said with a smile, "I went to the street today and stopped by to see Miss Su's family. She really looks like her mother, and she is also a pretty beauty. It's just that Miss Su never I came all the way from Fuyang, caught the wind and cold, and I don’t look very well, if Yu Xian has time, I will go to visit him too.”

Ji Yuxian pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "It's enough to have the second lady take care of me, I should have avoided suspicion in the first place!"

"The matter of getting married has not yet been settled, there are not so many taboos, and it is reasonable to visit." The second lady said gently, her tone paused, and asked, "Now that Miss Su has come to Beijing, Yu Xian can think about marrying her." Don't marry?"

Ji Yuxian looked up at the second wife, with a handsome smile, "Second wife, do you think I should marry?"

The second lady seemed to think about it for a moment before she said, "Speaking of which, this marriage was arranged by the lady. Although the Su family regretted the marriage later, our Ji family was in chaos at that time, and we didn't have the heart to respond to the Su family, so this The matter of ruining the marriage was not settled in the end. Madam also admitted the marriage when she was there, and now that my sister is gone, we shouldn't disobey her intentions!"

Ji Yuxian smiled, "So, the second lady wants me to marry Miss Su?"
