Chapter 126 Thorns

Jiang Wenyue nodded, her face was as usual, her expression was calm, and there was no wave in her eyes.

She knew that Prime Minister Jiang's sudden concern was all because Divine Doctor Ji had accepted her as his disciple, otherwise he would not have looked at her twice, let alone talked to her with such a gentle voice.

Prime Minister Jiang gave a few more instructions before letting her leave.

He thought about it, but still felt it was inappropriate, and decided to send the monsoon in person.

The Prime Minister chased all the way and finally kept up with Monsoon.

"Prime Minister, do you have anything you would like to advise?"

Ji Feng saw him walking in a hurry and thought he was chasing him to discuss something with him, so he stopped.

Cheng Lianlian waved his hands, took a breath, and said, "That's not true. Doctor Ji is polite to me. I just hit it off with you and wanted to see you off."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your consideration."

Ji Feng is always polite and has a smile on his face, but he feels very alienated.

The two chatted for a while, and then the conversation turned to Jiang Wenyue.

"Thank you to the miracle doctor for accepting my daughter as his disciple. It is an honor for our Jiang family. I originally wanted to treat you to a few drinks..."

Before the Prime Minister finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Feng: "Prime Minister is too polite, you don't have to drink anything, just treat her well. I saw that the yard is a bit shabby, and even the stools are missing legs. She is also the daughter of the Hou family after all.

, it would be a joke if it spread out."

"What the miracle doctor said is true, but I am too busy on weekdays and neglect her."

The Prime Minister looked embarrassed, and Ji Feng knew that he was lying.

No matter how busy she is, her daughter should always be concerned about her, and most of the matters in the backyard are decided by the eldest lady.

But he didn't say much, he just said: "If nothing else, the stool should be changed."

"It's natural."

After this beating, the Prime Minister also woke up a little.

To be fair, he really didn't care much about Jiang Wenyue, a concubine. He had no idea what she liked to eat or play.

At the same time, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He didn't know how the eldest lady managed the backyard, making him lose face in front of the miracle doctor.

When he returned to the house, he immediately went to find the eldest lady.

"Prime Minister, what's going on? Did you encounter some difficulty outside?" The eldest lady was a little surprised.

The Prime Minister sat down at the table: "You are too bad at Wenyue. The yard is so shabby and old. Even the chairs are missing legs. How can you be my aunt?"

A flash of surprise flashed across the eldest lady's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this was what he wanted.

"Prime Minister, don't be angry. It's my fault for not taking good care of you. I will try to make up for it. You are tired too, so take a rest."

The eldest lady is also quite capable, and she revealed the matter in just a few words.

The next day, she asked her servants to inquire about it and found out that Ji Ji's doctor had been to Jiang Wenyue's yard. She knew instantly.

No wonder the master's attitude changed drastically. He never asked questions before.

She thought for a while and then told her mother: "Go and take out the new piece of silk and find a maid to send it to the second lady's yard. Go quickly."

"You mean Miss Second?" Grandma couldn't believe it.

She was just a concubine. Logically speaking, the newly arrived silk could not get her turn, so she was doubtful.

The eldest lady looked at her and said: "What are you still doing? Send it over quickly. I am talking about the second young lady. Do you need me to say it again?"

"Don't dare!"

This new piece of silk was originally intended to be given to Jiang Xiyuan.

After all, she is her biological daughter and her legitimate daughter, so the eldest lady naturally loves her and piles good things on her.

After being beaten by the prime minister, she did not dare to be too harsh on Jiang Wenyue, so she wanted to take the opportunity to make amends.

Otherwise, if one day it comes out that her aunt's mother treated her concubine harshly, she won't be able to let go of her face. After all, she also wants to lose face.

When Jiang Xiyuan learned about this, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost bursting with rage.

"No, you can't give her such good things. She is a concubine and doesn't deserve to wear such fine materials."

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Jiang Xiyuan closed her eyes, exhaled slowly, and called her maid: "While the silk and satin haven't been sent over, quickly find someone to stop them and break and scratch all the silk and satin.

I can’t give her anything good!”

"Yes, miss, don't be angry, I will take care of it now."

How could Jiang Xiyuan not be angry? This silk and satin should have been hers, and she wanted to use it to make some new clothes. She didn't want her mother to give it to Jiang Wenyue in the blink of an eye.

The maid who was delivering the silk was quickly stopped. The maid who stopped her said, "I have some sewing work that I need your help with."

"No, I still have to give something to the second lady."

"What's the matter? Just ask someone to send it to you. It's rare for me to ask for help. You really have to help me this time."

As she said this, the maid secretly winked at the other little maid and asked her to take the box containing the silk.

After Jiang Wenyue received the box, she opened it and narrowed her eyes.

When the little maid who was waiting for her saw this, she quickly stepped forward to take a look. Looking at the broken silk and satin in the box, she couldn't help but take a breath, and then she felt angry.

"Miss, I have to report this to the eldest lady. These maids have gone too far to bully others, and this fine silk has been ruined."

Jiang Wenyue told her to keep quiet. She lowered her voice and said, "Who do you think did it? You don't have to guess. You know it's my good sister. Even if you tell the eldest lady that she will protect her, don't worry. There will always be someone."

There are ways to deal with her."

She could more or less guess the reason. It seemed that Jiang Xiyuan felt jealous because the miracle doctor accepted her as his disciple.

People's jealousy is often terrible, as the pile of tattered silks in front of them proves.

The maid felt sorry for her young lady: "But this silk is made of good material. If it is intact, it can be used to make two new clothes. My lady has not worn new clothes for a long time."

"It's okay. It's getting late. I don't need to wait here. You can go down and have a rest."

After closing the box, Jiang Wenyue slowly shook her head. Jiang Xiyuan was a little too impatient.

At noon the next day, after dinner, the eldest lady asked Jiang Wenyue to follow her to the garden.

"I was so busy that I forgot to take care of you. I will ask someone to replace those things in your yard with new ones."

Jiang Wenyue saluted and said a few polite words of thanks.

She knew very well that the eldest lady would never care about her for no reason. It must be because the master came to the yard yesterday, and they still care about their own face.

"By the way, do you like the new satin I sent you yesterday?"

Jiang Wenyue deliberately pretended to be stupid: "The silk is good silk, and the pattern is good, but it is too broken. Did my mother test my embroidery skills specially? Don't worry, I will definitely mend it."

What, broken?

The eldest lady is so smart, she instantly knew who had done it.

Her face darkened, and she thought to herself that her daughter was too arrogant. It was just a piece of silk and satin, so she gave it away, but she mixed it up.

Moreover, she ordered this silk to be sent to her. Those who didn't know it thought she was deliberately making things difficult for the concubine.

A feeling of annoyance arose in her heart, and she immediately said: "I must have given it to the wrong one. It doesn't matter. I will give you some more jewelry."

This time she deliberately transferred the new set of jewelry that she originally planned to give to her daughter to Jiang Wenyue. This was also a kind of punishment, so that she would have a good memory and not do anything wrong in the future.

Jiang Xiyuan didn't know about this yet and thought she had let out a bad breath.

When she went for a walk in the garden in the evening, she saw Jiang Wenyue sitting in the pavilion. Her expression changed slightly and she stepped forward: "If you don't read your medical books in your yard, why are you hanging out in the garden?"

It turned out that she was really jealous of her studying medicine.

"I'm tired of reading, so I came to sit down. What can I do for you, sister?" Jiang Wenyue's voice was calm.

Seeing her calm and composed look, Jiang Xiyuan felt even more angry.

His eyes fell on her head, Jiang Xiyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and then glanced at her neck: "Honestly, where did these jewelry come from?"

"Sister, why should you be angry? This lady belongs to me. She said it was pity that I didn't have any good jewelry all year round, so she gave me a set. If sister likes it, I will take it off and give it to her."

Jiang Xiyuan's face turned blue with anger after hearing this.

Last time, her mother said that she would prepare a new set of jewelry for her. She had been looking forward to it for several days, but she didn't expect it to fall into her hands.

A breath was stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She glared at Jiang Wenyue and said mockingly: "I have a lot of jewelry, so I don't care about the ones you wear. Besides, a crow can't become a phoenix no matter how much he dresses up."

After saying that, she left angrily.

Watching her retreating figure, the little maid beside Jiang Wenyue patted her chest gently.

"The young lady looked so scary just now, and what she said was too unpleasant."

Jiang Wenyue said, "Didn't she say too many unpleasant things? If she cared about everything, I would have been pissed to death."

At this moment, the eldest lady is making arrangements for Jiang Xiyuan's marriage.

She wanted to choose a good family for her daughter, and the people she chose were all well-matched sons from well-connected families. She would not suffer any loss no matter which family she married into.

The maid presented the portraits to Jiang Xiyuan, but she only glanced through them, and no one liked them.

"You, you, may not be too picky, but you can't keep your temper. What should we do in the future?" The eldest lady said in a helpless tone.

Jiang Xiyuan felt aggrieved: "But those silks, satins and jewelry, which Mother asked you to give to me, are now given to that girl Jiang Wenyue."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

The eldest lady sat down next to her and patted her hand: "What's so annoying about this? I'm doing this just to kill your temper. Don't be too impatient. You are a legitimate daughter, so you don't need to be with a concubine.

Calculate."

Having said that, how could Jiang Xiyuan not be angry when she saw Jiang Wenyue wearing jewelry that originally belonged to her?

Having said that, it was also because of the second prince that she looked down on those young men from aristocratic families.

She couldn't wait to see him, and as soon as she got back to her house, she sent someone to find out the news.

When she finally met the second prince as she wished, she found that his attitude had changed and he seemed more indifferent than before.

"I sent so many letters to His Highness, but Your Highness didn't reply to any of them."

She acted like a little daughter in front of the second prince, her voice was a little choked, and she sounded very aggrieved.

The second prince was stunned for a moment and pulled away slightly.

In his opinion, Jiang Xiyuan is just a chess piece in his hand. Now that this chess piece has lost its use value, it has no meaning to him and is equivalent to waste.

"I have a lot of things to do and I'm so busy that I don't have time to reply to you."

Jiang Xiyuan was still a little resentful at first, but when she heard what he said, the resentment in her heart immediately disappeared.

She made a cup of tea herself: "You have a sip of hot tea first, and we will talk in detail slowly."

"No, I just came over to see you."

The second prince was a little perfunctory. He didn't want to see her, but he was afraid that she would notice something and cause complications.

When Jiang Wenyue heard this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red: "It turns out that Your Highness is thinking of me. Your Highness hasn't replied to your letters in the past few days. I just don't think about food and tea. My mother said that I have lost weight."

She really misses him and wants to see him every day, but she is a daughter-in-law and cannot go out easily. It is not easy to see him.

The second prince didn't take it seriously at all. These so-called thoughts were a burden to him.

She is just a chess piece. If he develops feelings for her, it will ruin his big deal.

He took two sips of hot tea and said quietly: "It's not that I won't come, I also have my own reasons."

He said he had hard feelings, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of her.

Of course, he would never admit that he had a change of heart. If he did, he would be in a lot of trouble.

"What is the difficulty? Your Highness, tell me. I am willing to share it with Your Highness."

Jiang Wenyue grabbed his arm excitedly, wondering what was stopping him from coming to see her.

Seeing her look like this, the second prince knew that she might not be so easy to get rid of.

He closed his eyes, showed a bit of fatigue, and whispered: "I also want to marry you and be with you, so that we can see each other every day, but my mother-in-law doesn't agree."

What, the princess doesn’t agree?

Jiang Xiyuan's heart felt cold, but she still had a glimmer of hope: "Then your Highness, please persuade your empress, or go to the Emperor. I believe the Emperor will agree to our marriage."

If she could marry the second prince, what would those princes mean? No matter how talented Jiang Wenyue was in the future, she would never be able to compare with her.

She had planned all this well and didn't want anything to change.

However, the next moment the second prince poured cold water on him: "Father, he didn't agree either, so I still sneaked over to see you and wanted to explain the matter to you clearly."

"This is impossible, Your Highness, are you lying to me..."

Jiang Xiyuan's voice was trembling, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

If even the emperor interfered, then their marriage would have no chance of success, and she would never want to be with the second prince.

When she thought of this, her face turned pale and her eyes turned horribly red.

"How many times have I lied to you? If I wanted to lie to you, I would not come here today."

The second prince sighed, and deliberately said in a helpless tone: "I am also helpless. I said a lot of good things about you in front of my father and mother, but they still didn't agree. In this case, I can't delay you anymore. From now on

From now on, let’s make a clean break.”

"..."

Jiang Xiyuan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. She felt like something had hit her hard on the back of her head, and her brain was dizzy.

How is this possible? She was still looking forward to getting married to him, but in the blink of an eye she became a phantom.
