Mr. Liang Bo is reborn with me

Chapter 9 Refusal to Marry

Aunt Xu has always had this simple and elegant look, which is different from other aunts in the Prime Minister's Palace who dress up all day long. She looks like a lily standing among peonies, peonies, crabapples and other gorgeous flowers, fresh and noble.

Jiang Wenyue walked over and called out: "Auntie."

"The second lady is here."

Aunt Xu coughed lightly: "Second young lady, you should follow the rules and call me aunt."

"Aniang, this is in your yard. You don't have to worry about being heard by outsiders. I just want to call you Aniang, is that okay?"

Seeing Jiang Wenyue's pleading tone, Aunt Xu finally softened her heart.

"Is this a snack made specially for me by my mother-in-law?"

Jiang Wenyue looked at the snacks on the table and recalled her childhood memories.

How stupid was she in her previous life to only focus on trying to please the eldest lady and neglect her own mother.

Later, just a few years after she became the Crown Princess, Aunt Xu died of depression due to lingering on her bedside. Because of her status as Crown Princess, she didn't even get to see Aunt Xu one last time.

In this life, she must be filial to Aunt Xu, and by the way, she must also remind Aunt Xu to take good care of herself. This is the most important thing.

Jiang Wenyue only hoped that Aunt Xu could live a long life and be by her side all the time.

"Second Miss, I came to you this time to discuss something with you."

Although it was a discussion, Aunt Xu already knew the result.

"What's the matter, grandma?"

Jiang Wenyue looked at the hibiscus cake on the table and took a bite.

"The prime minister came to me and said that he wanted to betroth you to the prince. In this way, the second lady has got her wish."

"What!" Jiang Wenyue was so surprised that the pastry in her hand almost fell to the ground. Prime Minister Jiang actually named her to be the crown princess? How could this happen? This had never happened in her previous life.

However, Jiang Wenyue soon realized that it must be Yun Chi's fault.

Didn't Yun Chi also come back again and threaten to marry her?

Apart from Yun Chi, she really couldn't think of any other reason why Prime Minister Jiang could name her to marry him so quickly.

Want her to take the same old path again? Absolutely impossible.

When Aunt Xu saw that Jiang Wenyue didn't speak and didn't look happy as she expected, she was a little surprised for a moment. Maybe she was too happy and didn't react.

"If you really want to marry the prince, then the next time you see the prime minister, I will help you agree."

"No! Auntie."

When Jiang Wenyue heard that Aunt Xu was about to agree, she came to her senses and said, "Auntie, don't agree. Yaoyao doesn't want to get married."

Aunt Xu was very surprised by these words. She doesn't want to get married. How can any girl not get married?

"Didn't you always say in front of me that you wanted to marry the prince? Why don't you do it now?"

Jiang Wenyue's tone was soft, as if she was coquettishly speaking: "Yao Yao just wants to be with A-niang. A-Niang, you'd better help Yao Yao and refuse."

"You really don't want to get married?" Aunt Xu asked again.

"Of course it's true. Yaoyao has already thought about it. I'm just a concubine and not worthy of being a prince, so I just hope I can stay with my mother for a few more years."

In fact, Aunt Xu thought the same way. She always felt that letting her daughter marry the prince was a bit unreliable.

Maybe it's a mother's intuition. The royal family seems to be glamorous, but there are too many twists and turns behind the scenes, and Jiang Wenyue doesn't have much backing.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want her daughter to marry. What's more, Prime Minister Jiang letting Jiang Wenyue marry was equivalent to treating Jiang Wenyue as a pawn to cling to the royal family.

She only hopes that her daughter will live a safe and smooth life, and does not want her to be a pawn and get involved in strange disputes.

"Okay, since you don't want to marry the prince, then I will help you refuse."

"Thank you, grandma."

Jiang Wenyue chatted with Aunt Xu for a while. Aunt Xu's attitude was a little cold, and after a while she said she was tired and wanted to go in and rest.

Jiang Wenyue had no choice but to return to her yard.

After returning, Jiang Wenyue kept thinking that if it was as she guessed, Yun Chi had already told Prime Minister Jiang that he wanted to be the crown princess, and Aunt Xu's objection might not have any effect.

It seems that she needs to make some other efforts.

Jiang Wenyue wrote a prescription on the chopping board. This prescription would make her look weak, pale, and her body temperature would be higher than normal from time to time, as if she was sick.

This was a prescription she got accidentally after marrying Yun Chi in her previous life. At that time, a concubine in the East Palace pretended to be ill by writing a prescription to gain favor, but she found out and punished the concubine, and she also remembered the prescription.

Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today.

Yes, she wants to pretend to be sick just like Jiang Xiyuan.

Moreover, her methods are more sophisticated than Jiang Xiyuan's and are difficult to see through.

After writing it, Jiang Wenyue handed the prescription to Ranxiang: "Ranxiang, go to the pharmacy outside and grab this medicine for me."

"What is this, miss."

Ranxiang couldn't understand the prescription, so she just asked casually.

"It's nothing, it's just a prescription for beauty. Don't tell anyone about it. When you go out, go through the back door and try not to let anyone see you."

Ranxiang was still confused, but saw Jiang Wenyue's expression and agreed.

"Yes, miss."

Ranxiang walked out with the prescription and quickly grabbed Jiang Wenyue's medicine.

Jiang Wenyue asked Ranxiang to cook it for her.

The bitter concoction was filled with steam in a white porcelain bowl. Jiang Wenyue drank it all without hesitation.

This medicine takes effect slowly, it takes about a day or two.

Jiang Wenyue took a handkerchief and sealed the corner of her mouth, with determination in her eyes.

Prime Minister Jiang called Aunt Xu again and asked Aunt Xu how the matter was.

Aunt Xu expressed her firm opposition to letting Jiang Wenyue marry the prince Yun Chi: "Xiangye, the second lady is just a concubine. I'm afraid she won't be able to reach the throne of the prince. Please consider other girls, the third lady and the fourth lady.

Is it almost the age to discuss marriage?"

"Why can't you reach such a high level? Besides, the prince prefers Wenyue. If it were someone else, the prince might not be willing to do it." Prime Minister Jiang retorted, "Okay, this matter is settled."

In fact, when he asked Aunt Xu, it was just a formality. He thought that Aunt Xu would agree to it, but he didn't expect that Aunt Xu was not happy to ask Jiang Wenyue to marry the prince.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is really not possible. The second lady said that she is not willing to get married."

"Don't want to get married? How can there be a girl in this world who doesn't get married and spends her whole life waiting for a wife? It's really ridiculous! Besides, marriage is a major matter, the matchmaker's words, and the parents' orders."

Prime Minister Jiang used his parents' orders to suppress Aunt Xu, but Aunt Xu was different from other women. Instead, she argued with Prime Minister Jiang and pointed out all the disadvantages of Jiang Wenyue marrying the prince.

Of course, Aunt Xu was thinking from Jiang Wenyue's point of view.

Prime Minister Jiang, on the other hand, considered the interests of the Prime Minister's Office. In his opinion, Jiang Wenyue was not engaged yet, and the Crown Prince also said that he wanted Jiang Wenyue to be the Crown Princess, so there was no reason to refuse.

As for what Aunt Xu said, it is simply a woman’s opinion.

Aunt Xu's attitude also succeeded in irritating Prime Minister Jiang, who angrily said: "A woman's opinion! If Wenyue can marry the prince, it should be her blessing. As his biological mother, I advise you to consider her carefully.
