Chapter 298
Xia Zhizhi comforted Jiang Zhao for a long time, stuffed the things she brought to him, and told him not to be sad, she would choose a better girl for him.
Jiang Zhao heard that and said quickly: "I don't want to mention these things, mother, please don't bother."
Jiang Cheng and Xia Zhizhi looked at each other and finally agreed to wait a while. It's not good to mention these things now. Let's talk about them when he forgets them.
Jiang Cheng is the emperor after all, and he has something to do in the afternoon, so he left after a short while.
Jiang Cheng and Xia Zhizhi's trip today caused many people to speculate, and smart people felt that there was something unusual.
Sure enough, they soon found out that Shen Jinyuan was demoted, and was demoted to work beside Jiang Jin. Although he also had an official position, it was not as good as the sesame official they usually talked about.
Who is Shen Jinyuan?
The future father-in-law of the fifth prince.
How could this happen?
When everyone was thinking, they heard new news. The emperor issued an order that the marriage between Shen Dongning of the Shen family and the fifth prince Jiang Zhao would not count. Why not? There was no explanation from above, anyway, it was not counted, and the marriage between the two parties would have nothing to do with each other in the future.
When all parties speculated, they soon found out that Shen Dongning had secretly entered the second prince's back house.
Originally, the Shen family and Jiang Jin were doing this secretly. Shen Dongning was sent to the back door of the second prince's mansion in the evening by a sedan chair and entered from there, just because they didn't want to attract attention. In fact, they really wanted Shen Dongning to claim illness and return to the ancestral home to recuperate, but actually secretly sent him to the second prince's mansion.
However, they didn't dare.
If they really did this, some rumors that were unfavorable to the fifth prince would appear, and their Shen family would probably be gone before the second prince succeeded. The emperor's current handling of this matter clearly showed that he was not giving the second prince and the Shen family dignity, and wanted them to lose face.
Shen Dongning also felt very aggrieved. She was pregnant after all. It would be fine if she had to sit in a sedan chair, but she had to go in through the back door. How shameful it was. But this matter was shameful, so she could only endure it.
Just endure it for now, and it will be fine in the future.
The Shen family and Jiang Jin had planned everything well, but they missed one person, that is, Lu Ying, the second prince's wife who was still in love with Jiang Jin. Before, Jiang Jin just told her that he would bring in a concubine, and the other party was already pregnant. Lu Ying felt a little bitter, but she also knew that the second prince, as a prince, could not always be alone, so she accepted it.
But she didn't expect that this concubine was actually her cousin.
Before, she thought it was a bit strange that her cousin and the fifth brother's marriage was not counted. It turned out that things were waiting for her here. How could she not know what was going on now? At that time, there was a fuss, and it was a big fuss. She was still rational and didn't do anything to Shen Dongning.
After all, if she beat Shen Dongning to the point of miscarriage, she would be unreasonable, so she threw all her fists on Jiang Jin, leaving several long scratches on Jiang Jin's neck. She was not afraid of anything, because her father was such a high-ranking official, and Jiang Jin couldn't just divorce the princess consort.
Jiang Jin still had to rely on her father to get that position, so when would he not beat her now?
Beat Jiang Jin today, and when Shen Dongning gave birth, beat her good cousin too, and no one could escape.
Lu Ying's big fuss made those who were still thinking about it understand what was going on, and they all thought it was a big joke. They discussed behind closed doors, and they all thought it was incredible that the Second Prince was such a shameless person who even wanted to touch his own future brother and sister-in-law.
"I always thought the second prince was a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be so vulgar and shameless."
"Second brother turned out to be a hypocrite."
"Second brother, is my second brother like this? Is this what they say, "stolen is more fragrant?"
"It turns out that Concubine Lan closed the palace door because of the second son. I really didn't expect it. Hahaha, the second son usually keeps quiet and looks like someone who can do great things, but he would actually do such a thing. Concubine Lan really miscalculated this time. Only the second son can accomplish things in her family. If the second son is not there, the third son is probably the same as the fifth son. Haha, I can't take it anymore. I am really laughing to death. Well, speak softly, no, it's really too funny. It's a pity that Concubine Lan closed the palace door, otherwise I must go to visit him."
"Have you heard about the second prince above..."
After knowing this, Jiang Zhao's sisters were all very angry. They came to the mansion to visit him one after another and said some comforting words. After that, they all had a cold face when they met Jiang Jin.
On the day of the court session, Jiang Jin had been subjected to a series of fiery gazes sweeping over him since he met the ministers and brothers who were attending the court session with him. He still had no expression on his face, but now everyone would only sneer in their hearts when they saw him like this: hypocritical.
Jiang Zhao did not attend the court session, but everyone was not surprised. How could he be in the mood after such a thing happened? It was said that the Fifth Prince had not been on duty recently.
It was understandable.
Jiang Zhao still got up early that day, picked out some items that the eldest princess Jiang Yi could use from the warehouse, and took them to the eldest princess's mansion.
"It's good to go around. Don't always worry about things that have happened. It's harmful to your health." Jiang Yi comforted.
Jiang Zhao asked: "What about the eldest sister? Don't you have something on your mind?"
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, and felt the concern from Jiang Zhao, and her eyes became softer and softer: "That's it, it's almost the same for anyone else." After a pause, she said, "After all, I have a problem."
She didn't regret not having children with her husband. That incident proved that the relationship between her and her husband was not as good as the children. The other party's choice was human nature, so why should she force it?
She liked children and dreamed of having a child, whether it was a boy or a girl. Because it was her own physical problem, it would be useless to change anyone, and she was too lazy to bother with that. As for what her husband said about bringing the child back from outside, that was absolutely impossible.
She didn't like other people's children.
