Chapter 272 Why was Xie Ying granted the title of County Princess?
Jiang Chi quickly went to see his father Jiang Han.
Knowing that Jiang Han had already taken Jiang Cheng to the Xie residence to apologize, he asked, "Father, what kind of person do you think Xie Xiu is?"
Jiang Han stroked his beard and said, "I think he is a smart man and worth making friends with. It just so happens that your brother has a good relationship with him, so you can let your brother continue to be friends with him."
He is a very gentle and refined man, and it's obvious that he is a good student. Perhaps under his influence, your brother will also study hard and pass the imperial examination to become a juren.
Jiang Chi imagined Xie Xiu's appearance and frowned slightly: "But I heard that he and Xie Yun broke off their relationship?"
"Hey, this can't be blamed on him, it's all because Xie Yun is such a jerk!
Na Luo was beautiful and gentle. She did not mind his poverty and married him with a generous dowry, which gave him money to make friends and find a famous teacher.
Luo also kept his home in order and helped him support his parents, allowing him to study for the imperial examinations with peace of mind.
He was so good, just after he became the top scholar, he had an affair with the vicious woman of the Chen family and even killed his original wife. He is such a piece of shit!
If Xie Xiu still recognizes a father who is worse than a beast, I will despise him!"
"Since father said so, I think Xie Xiu must be a good person. I feel relieved."
Jiang Chi complimented him and then asked curiously, "By the way, has father seen his little daughter? Is the child not frightened?"
Jiang Han thought of the fat baby he had seen before, and his expression became strange: "That girl didn't seem to be scared. Maybe she was too young, a little silly, and had no idea what she almost encountered."
"Does she look stupid?" Jiang Chi was surprised. "Is she scared?"
Jiang Han shook his head: "Absolutely not! As soon as she was carried out, she stared at me curiously. She seemed quite brave.
Unlike our Xueer, who has been spoiled since she was a child. She always likes to hide in her mother's arms and will be scared to tears when she sees strangers.
But it’s still better to have someone like our Xue’er. That girl from the Xie family is probably just a fool and has no fear at all. It’s really worrying.”
After saying this, he shook his head seriously.
Jiang Chi: “…”
He even wanted to meet that girl.
The father and son talked for a while, hated the mastermind behind this incident, and discussed how to retaliate.
After the conversation, Jiang Han patted Jiang Chi on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Okay, go see Yao'er and Xue'er. You're stationed outside, and you can't let the children become estranged from you."
"My father taught me this, and I will go back now."
When Jiang Chi returned to his yard, his wife Jia was not there to greet him at the door.
After asking, he found out that Jia was painting in the study.
When I walked over to take a look, I saw that Jia was indeed painting at her desk.
He couldn't help but walk over to see what she had drawn.
There is a plum tree on the paper, and a lonely bird standing on the branch.
There is also a poem written next to it, which sounds strange.
Seeing Jia put down her brush, Jiang Chi couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you paint anymore?"
Jia's expression was indifferent: "It's already finished, what else is there to paint?"
Jiang Chi was even more surprised: "Is it finished yet? Why did you only draw a bird? Don't you think it's too lonely?"
"It's natural for it to be lonely. Other birds don't understand it, so how can it not be lonely?"
Jiang Chi's face darkened: "Are you blaming me for not understanding you?"
"I don't think so. You're overthinking it. I'm talking about the bird in the words, not myself. Can you please stop imagining things?"
Jia's expression turned very ugly. "If you don't like this painting, you can tear it up or burn it, but don't put the blame on me."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Jiang Chi stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Why are you looking so long? Who made you angry?"
Jia said with a sour face: "You think too much, I'm not angry."
Jiang Chi was dissatisfied: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me. I am your husband! You always keep everything in your heart. How can I know what you really want?"
"Do you really want to hear it?" Jia suddenly sneered, "You insisted I tell you this. Don't wait until I tell you and then come back to blame me for being ignorant and putting you in a difficult position."
When Jiang Chi heard this, he couldn't help but say in his heart, "As expected."
He knew that Jia was angry again.
"Then tell me, what are you angry about?"
"Why should I be angry? His Majesty has made the Xie family's girl the Princess of Fu'an County and rewarded her with a bunch of goodies.
Your sister is also very generous. She even gave her the hot spring villa on the outskirts of the city!
My Xueer is her niece, and she didn't say she would give Xueer a hot spring villa, but gave it to an outsider.
Why am I so angry? I'm just upset about myself and Xue'er! Xue'er loves her aunt so much, and I even painstakingly painted a fertility-giving Guanyin for her as a gift.
But she would rather be so kind to a stranger than to her own niece! Do you know how disappointed I am? "
Jiang Chi just thought she was completely baffling: "It was His Majesty's idea to confer the title of Princess of Fu'an on the Xie family's girl. What does it have to do with my eldest sister?
The girl had long been regarded as a lucky star by the eldest princess, and it was the eldest princess who personally sent her into the palace.
She was conferred the title of Princess Fu'an, most likely because the eldest princess asked His Majesty for it. How can you blame your elder sister?
Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have both given me rewards, so how could I not express my gratitude?"
Jia was still dissatisfied: "Since the eldest princess can ask for a county lady for the girl from the Xie family, why doesn't the eldest sister ask for a county lady for Xue'er?
Xue'er is her niece, isn't she more noble than the girl from the Xie family?
And even if she wanted to show her appreciation, there was no need to give her a hot spring resort!
Xue'er has always liked that farm. I originally thought that Xue'er was still young, so when she grew up, I would ask my eldest sister to give the farm to Xue'er as a dowry.
Who knew that the eldest sister would rather give the farm to a younger baby than to Xueer.
Tell me, how is Xue'er inferior to the girl from the Xie family? Since the girl from the Xie family can be named the Princess of Fu'an County, why can't my Xue'er be named the Princess of Fu'an County?"
Jiang Chi originally wanted to coax her, but seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, he became really angry.
He said coldly: "If you want to know, I will take you to the palace now and ask His Majesty and Eldest Sister in person!"
After saying that, he grabbed Jia's arm and tried to pull her out.
Jia was instantly panicked: "Ah - Jiang Chi, what are you doing? Let me go - you are crazy - I won't enter the palace -"
She dared to question Jiang Chi, but how could she dare to enter the palace to question His Majesty and Jiang Lin?
Jiang Chi is her husband, who is stationed in the military camp outside the city most of the time. The two of them are rarely together, and she also gave birth to a pair of smart and clever children for Jiang Chi.
So she knew that Jiang Chi owed her a lot, and as long as she didn't do anything too excessive, he would endure it.
But Your Majesty is different from Jiang Lin.
Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, your words are final and cannot be questioned.
Jiang Lin is even more vicious and cunning. If she dares to question Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin will ask Jiang Chi to divorce her!
Or give a few beautiful palace maids to be Jiang Chi's concubines.
The more Jia thought about it, the more frightened she became. However, she couldn't break free from Jiang Chi's grip, and soon she burst into tears: "Jiang Chi, do you really have to bully me like this?"
