Chapter 344 The Master is the Most Kind
After hearing what Jia Cong said, Old Lady Zhen did not feel embarrassed at all, "It is a blessing for me to be able to invite the Marquis to be my host!"
"As for the capital, it is better to be good than to be great. What do you think, Lord?"
"The reason why I came here today is to thank you, Lord! Our daughter of the Zhen family married a bad man, but she suffered such a disaster! Although she is a criminal, she is still my own daughter and granddaughter. Now that she can be saved, I have to thank you Lord for writing a letter to His Majesty to help her negotiate."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that an old woman like me would have to bury the young before me?" As she said this, Old Mrs. Zhen burst into tears.
Yuanyang was a little embarrassed. The old lady of the Zhen family was of high status, similar to his own ancestors. It was inappropriate to watch her cry at such an old age. However, his master obviously didn't like this old lady very much.
Jia Cong walked forward, sat beside Yuanyang and held her hand, and then said, "Okay, old lady, please stop crying, otherwise, people will say that I am bullying the orphans and widows of your Zhen family."
Old Madam Zhen wiped her tears and then said, "This time, my Zhen family owes you a huge favor. If you need anything in the future, my Zhen family will repay you. However, there is one more thing I would like to ask you to do for me!"
"Tell me about it!" Jia Cong played with Yuanyang's green jade fingers, which made Yuanyang feel shy.
"My little granddaughter has been in grief these days because of this matter. She has had the best relationship with her elder sister since she was a child, and she doesn't know if she will have the chance to see her again in the future. Therefore, she wants the Marquis to see her for the sake of their deep sisterly love!"
Jia Cong tightened his hands subconsciously, and the rage in his heart surged out again. After a while, he barely suppressed it, "I'll think about it first!"
Old Madam Zhen didn't say much after hearing this. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, my Lord! I won't stay any longer, so I'll take my leave first!"
After saying that, she stood up with the help of the old nanny beside her and left. Jia Cong had no intention of seeing her off, but just watched the old lady leave Ningzheng Hall coldly.
"Damn this Zhen family!" Jia Cong couldn't help but curse angrily.
Yuanyang also noticed that Jia Cong was unhappy, so she just stayed by his side without saying much.
Just like that, until dinner in the evening, Jia Cong's face was not very good! Jia Cong was in a bad mood, which made Qingwen and the other little maids unhappy.
After Yuanyang accompanied Jia Cong to eat, she gently said to Jia Cong, "Master, why bother yourself with trivial matters? If the Zhen family's invitation is okay, just accept it. If you are not happy, just ignore it."
Jia Cong sighed, "Qingwen, you guys go back to your room first. I'll chat with Yuanyang and come over in a while."
After Qingwen and the others left, Jia Cong leaned on Yuanyang's arms, feeling a little tired. After hesitating for a moment, he said with some regret, "That day, the Zhen family invited me to a banquet..."
Yuanyang just listened to Jia Cong's story quietly without interrupting him. After Jia Cong finished speaking, Yuanyang gently rubbed Jia Cong's brow and said, "Master secretly hates the Zhen family for their scheming, and such shameless means, but he also feels that he owes that Zhen family sister a little bit?"
Jia Cong thought about it, leaned over Yuanyang's belly, and said in a muffled voice, "Master, I don't know either!"
"My master is the most kind-hearted person in the world!" Yuanyang hugged Jia Cong and said softly.
"I know that I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart, but it's not a big deal! Miss Zhen did plot against me, but she's just a pitiful person."
"Everyone says that aristocratic families are good, but aristocratic families also have their own frustrations. For them, the interests of the entire family always come first, and no matter who they are, they have to make sacrifices for the entire family. The Zhen family is like this, and our family is the same. It's just that we have the master in our family, so some of the old lady's thoughts have to take the master into consideration."
"The younger sister of the Zhen family really has no choice. It's not that I blame you, but you are wrong. At least in my opinion, this younger sister is not a person who covets wealth and fame. It's just that her family is like this. Even the family members who dote on her the most are adding fuel to the fire. As a woman, how much room can she have for maneuver?"
"This world is not fair to women, and people like you are rare in the world, so it is the greatest blessing for me to be able to stay by your side."
"Moreover, the master also told me before that His Majesty the Emperor is destined to appoint that sister to be my concubine. Now it is just a little earlier."
Jia Cong just listened quietly like this, the violent emotions in his heart gradually disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know how long it was before he fell asleep.
The next day, after Jia Cong went on his errand, Yuanyang hesitated for a while, and then said to Xin'er, "You and Mei'er go get a piece of satin that the master gave me before, and then follow me to the West Palace!"
Xin'er agreed, and soon she took the satin, had someone harness the carriage, and headed straight for the West Mansion.
Yuanyang first went to chat with the old lady for a while, and only left Jia's grandmother's courtyard after lunch . However, she did not rush back to the East Palace, but went to the backyard.
When they arrived outside the small courtyards where the Zhen family lived, a maid came in to pass the message, and a moment later Liu came out to greet them.
"I've heard for a long time that Marquis Guanjun has a wife who is both talented and beautiful. Today, after seeing her, it's true." Liu politely greeted Yuanyang and walked towards the main hall.
Although Yuanyang was a concubine, she was not only Jia Cong's close friend, but also had an imperial decree, so the Zhen family did not dare to neglect her.
They went straight to Old Madam Zhen's room, and the old lady came to chat with him. After a long while, Yuanyang finally said, "I'm here to visit Miss Zhen. I'm sorry for coming here, but I wonder if Miss Zhen is available to meet me?"
Liu looked towards the old lady, only to hear her say, "Is it inconvenient for you to have such a distinguished guest?"
"Go and tell Ning Yatou that the wife of Marquis Guanjun is coming to visit, and ask Ning Yatou to prepare something!"
In Zhen Muring's courtyard, after hearing the report from the old woman, Zhen Muring's somewhat absent-minded eyes could not help but gather some expression. After a while, she said to Shi Ya, "Shi Ya, help me with my makeup!"
"Mohen, take my headgear and the red satin jacket with narrow sleeves and hundreds of golden butterflies on it!"
The two of them quickly agreed, asked the little girl outside to bring hot water, and then started to get busy.
It took nearly half an hour for Zhen Muring to get dressed completely, and then she asked someone to bring Yuanyang over to talk.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Zhen Muring was stunned. What happened to her? Even if she was his wife, so what? Was she worthy of such respect from her?
