After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 26 Jiang Family

After everyone returned to the mansion, the crowd outside gradually dispersed. The reason why they did not go to the Shangshu Mansion to join in the fun was because they saw people from the Chenwang Mansion sending gifts to the Taishi Mansion.

There were so many carts that people with nothing to do counted them and found that there were a total of 166 of them, which was more than the betrothal gifts sent to the Shangshu Mansion two days ago!

Those who were curious and brave enough came forward to ask.

The guards of Prince Chen's Mansion, who were originally known for their strictness, were unusually easy to talk to today. Not only did they not let them leave, they even started to explain things to them.

It turns out that these are all betrothal gifts, and they are for Princess Chen’s maternal grandfather’s family!

Some people who were particularly well-informed found out the whole story, and the complete version of the "substitute marriage" spread throughout the capital.

The main hall of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The Grand Tutor and Yu Tingwan sat at the top. After Yu Tingwan watched everyone take their seats, the servants in the mansion served tea and left, leaving only her family members and her two personal maids in the room.

Before anyone could speak, Yu Tingwan was the first to stand up from his seat.

He turned around to face the direction of Grand Tutor Jiang Yun and knelt down.

"Ting Wan paid her respects to her maternal grandfather, met her eldest uncle, second uncle, and eldest aunt and second aunt. I haven't been able to show my filial piety to my maternal grandfather for so many years. Ting Wan feels ashamed of the love and care that my maternal grandfather has shown me."

Everyone stood up quickly, "What are you doing? Princess, no, get up quickly."

He reached out to pull Yu Tingwan up, and felt uncomfortable seeing her tear-stained face.

"Hurry up and sit down. How could we not know your difficulties? Although Lan Yue never said anything every time she came over, we can imagine how difficult that situation was."

Yu Tingwan looked at the relatives present and felt their care. Is this the concern from relatives?

Although these were not really for her, she was also Yu Tingwan now.

Having enjoyed the love of these relatives, she must protect them well, so as to live up to this journey and give an explanation to the original owner.

Qingzhu stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from Yu Tingwan's cheeks with a handkerchief, "Princess, do you want to go and tidy it up?"

Yu Tingwan shook her head. After crying for so long, the pent-up emotions in her heart suddenly eased away, as if something had left.

Yu Tingwan thought to herself that perhaps it was the obsession left by the original owner. Now she felt that her body was much more relaxed than before.

"no need."

After recovering from the shock, Yu Tingwan looked up at the people who were looking at him and chuckled:

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried my grandfather, uncles and aunts."

Aunt Liu looked at Yu Tingwan with distress in her eyes: "Such a big thing has happened, how can a child like you who just came of age bear it?"

It was obvious that the aunt was talking about the substitute marriage. By the time they heard the news that she jumped into the lake and was forced to marry, it was too late. Yu Tingwan had already married into Prince Chen's Mansion.

Otherwise they would have stopped it anyway.

It’s a pity that Yu Huaiyi didn’t even have a single rumor in the mansion. It’s obvious that this was his intention.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Tingwan is fine. She was just confused at first. But it was this jump that made Tingwan sober up."

There is no way to erase what the original owner has done, as for personality and other things, let them accept it slowly.

"Humph, you didn't ask someone to come to your house when you have something to do, but you jumped into the lake yourself. You are really capable!"

A voice came from the side. Yu Tingwan looked over there and saw her second uncle Jiang Hongxi pointing forward, indicating who said this.

Yu Tingwan looked over and saw that the person who spoke was her uncle Jiang Hongyi, who had brought people to look for her today.

Before Yu Tingwan could explain, Jiang Qingxun, who was sitting at the back, disagreed.

"Uncle, you can't say that. Even if Sister Wan is wrong, you can't say it in front of so many people. She is a woman, unlike a man like me!"

“…”Thank you so much for speaking up for me.

"Shut up, idiot."

Jiang Qingyao, who was sitting next to her, hit Jiang Qingxun on the head with a fan, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Why did you hit me!"

After all this commotion, the matter was finally revealed.

Yu Tingwan nodded to Jiang Qingyao and Jiang Qingxun to express her gratitude. She of course understood that they were just joking around to prevent her uncle from questioning her again.

As the head of the Shangshu, Jiang Hongyi knew it very well, and he just did what they wanted.

However, the always steady cousin Jiang Qingli looked at Yu Tingwan and asked.

"Tingwan, how are you doing in the palace now? Are you feeling well?"

Although it seems like nothing now, I still need to ask about the specific situation.

"I forgot to tell you, I'm fine, I was just pretending to be like that outside, just to trick them."

Hearing this, the Jiang family looked at her. The men were not in a position to look closely at the two aunts but wanted to take a closer look.

"Really? Don't you want to deceive us just to make us feel better?"

The second aunt had just pulled Yu Tingwan to look at it for a long time, and now she went forward to take another look.

Yu Tingwan simply stood up and let them see.

"Really? I can even jump off the roof right now!"

"Don't talk nonsense. A princess jumped off the roof?"

The eldest uncle reprimanded her lightly, but there was no blame in his words, nor did he say that Yu Tingwan's behavior was not like that of a woman.

"Uncle, seeing you like this now, what do you think about your future?"

Second uncle Jiang Hongxi is a gentle person, but he is very insightful. He can tell at a glance that Yu Tingwan is not a particularly contented person beneath her appearance.

Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Hongxi. Her second uncle was currently the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, responsible for the assessment and selection of students.

So after seeing so much, one can see through people's hearts, and Yu Tingwan was not surprised.

It should be said that everyone in this room is not stupid, on the contrary, they are all very smart people.

"To be honest with you, uncle, although the court seems calm, there are actually undercurrents. Now that I'm married to Prince Chen, I'm afraid that the Grand Tutor's Mansion may be implicated."

This sentence seemed useless, but the people in the room heard the hidden meaning. At least it showed that Yu Tingwan was not ignorant of the situation in the court.

Seeing that someone was about to discuss serious matters in the house, my eldest and second aunts stood up and prepared to leave.

"You guys chat slowly, my second brother and his wife and I will go to the kitchen to take a look. We must have dinner at home tonight before leaving."

Yu Tingwan nodded, "Thank you, my two aunts. Lan Yue and Qing Zhu, you can also go and help."

"Yes, princess."

Lan Yue and her two companions followed her aunt and her husband and left. There were only a few people left in the room, and everyone was quiet for a while.

Yu Tingwan looked at them and did not take the current situation too seriously. She thought so because she was fearless, but they were different.

Minister Jiang looked up at Yu Tingwan and said, "What are you talking about? If you don't get married, will the emperor let us go?"

From some of the movements in the court in recent years, it can be seen that the emperor has long wanted to take action against them, he just needs a reason.

One of them was the Grand Tutor, the head of all officials; one was the Minister of Personnel, the head of all ministers; and the other had also trained many students.

Any one of these people would be feared by the emperor, let alone they are from the same family. The emperor can still sleep well at night, which means he is very carefree!

Yu Tingwan was speechless. There was actually something wrong with what he said.

"So what do you want to do?"
