Chapter 204 Imperial Edict
"You! You're doing this for my own good! How could Mother blame you?"
The two walked hand in hand towards the room. Seeing this, Nanny Yang hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare dinner. Judging from today's situation, the mother and daughter had not had a meal together for a long time. Now that her daughter is back, she can spend some time with the lady.
Jiang Shuyu and she hadn't seen each other for such a long time, so naturally they had endless things to talk about. Thinking of the letter Jiang Zhongming had sent a few days ago, Ruan looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "Your father sent someone to bring a message a few days ago, saying that he would be back in the next two days. He didn't make it to Ya'er's wedding, and he felt a little uncomfortable!"
Listening to Ruan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but smile slightly. Her elder sister was also raised by her father since she was a child, and he treated her like his own daughter. Now that her elder sister was getting married, her father couldn't attend in person, and he felt a little guilty. Fortunately, her elder sister was well-educated and knew that her father was busy with official business, so she specially sent someone to give him a message, which made her father feel a little better.
However, he also sent a lot of treasures to his elder sister to express his appreciation for her. Jiang Shuyu knew all this when she was in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. Naturally, Jiang Shuyu agreed with Jiang Zhongming's move. Although they no longer lived in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, their blood relationship would never be forgotten.
It's just that my father has returned now and happened to catch Jiang Wanrong's wedding. Given Jiang Wanrong's current situation, no one knows what kind of trouble will happen!
However, Jiang Shuyu naturally would not say these things to add to Ruan's troubles. Seeing the worry on Ruan's face, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly spoke to comfort her: "Father has been away for so long, it's time for him to come back. Mother doesn't have to worry so much.
My father has been fighting abroad for many years and is very experienced. He is just going to take care of some things, so there will definitely not be any major problems. My eldest sister knows that it is not easy for my father to be away from home, so she repeatedly told him not to rush to get married, as there will be plenty of time for them to get together in the future!
Listening to Jiang Shuyu's words, Ruan couldn't help but sigh. She immediately looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "Hey! I know Yu'er is comforting me for my own good, but I also know all this in my heart. How could I not know the hardships your father is going through outside!
Your eldest sister knows how difficult it is for your father, but someone else doesn't see this and keeps urging your father to come back. If I hadn't had someone intercept the letter, it would have been delivered to your father by now!"
"What happened to mother?"
Seeing Ruan's angry look, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel confused. Without getting Ruan's answer, Jiang Shuyu looked at Nanny Yang beside her to ask about the situation. After getting Ruan's consent, Nanny Yang took out the letter sent by Jiang Wanrong from the inner room and handed it to Jiang Shuyu.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Jiang Wanrong's handwriting in her hand and couldn't help but frowned. Then she realized why Ruan was so angry.
You know, if Jiang Wanrong wants to find someone to back her up, her father is the only suitable candidate. Ever since Jiang Hongtai was able to open the Duke Dingguo Mansion, he has been unable to make any progress in the court. If it weren't for the Duke Dingguo Mansion, I'm afraid his current official position would have been lost.
Now he can hardly protect himself, let alone support Jiang Wanrong. In addition, with the incident that Jiang Wanrong had caused some time ago, if he does not find someone to support her, even if she marries into the Rui Wang Mansion, it will be difficult for her to move forward.
Therefore, she set her sights on her father. If she could get her father to appear at her wedding, even if her father would not help her, she could still rely on her father's appearance to gain a foothold in the Rui Palace. Given Xiao Jinrui's current situation, he would naturally not offend the Jiang family.
However, Jiang Wanrong's plan was doomed to fail. She probably didn't know that her letter had been intercepted by her mother. Even if her father came at the fastest speed, it would take ten days or half a month. Not to mention whether her father could come back on the day of her wedding, even if he came back, if he knew what she was thinking, he would not let her use him like this.
Now, there are only three days left until Jiang Wanrong's wedding. She wants to see whether Jiang Wanrong can get the respect and compliments from everyone in the Rui Palace and become the Rui Palace Princess just like in her previous life, now that she has finally married into the Rui Palace as she wished.
After calming Ruan's mood, Jiang Shuyu returned to the courtyard. Although she lived in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion during this period, she was also relaxed about the things outside.
It's just that I was busy with my elder sister's affairs during this period, and I ignored the master. I don't know if he will be angry. It seems that I have to go there tomorrow.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the master will nag her again. At this time, Jiang Shuyu still doesn't know that Xu Yiyuan has disappeared.
After Yuqiu and the other man helped Jiang Shuyu to rest, they left the room one after the other.
The next day,
Jiang Shuyu got up early, which was rare for her. After greeting Ruan, she was about to leave the house. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunsheng's joyful voice came from outside. Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at Ruan, but found that she also looked confused. Putting aside her doubts, Jiang Shuyu immediately helped Ruan out.
Jiang Yunsheng looked at Jiang Shuyu and the other girl, and hurriedly walked over to the Ruan family. He looked at the Ruan mother and daughter and said excitedly, "Madam, Miss, the palace has sent a message that the imperial edict is on the way. Please prepare, Madam and Miss."
"Imperial edict?" Ruan looked at Jiang Shuyu in surprise, not knowing what the emperor was issuing at this time. Seeing the astonishment in Ruan's eyes, Jiang Shuyu immediately looked at Jiang Yunsheng and said, "Uncle Yun, go and prepare first. Mother and I will be there soon!"
Jiang Yunsheng also noticed Ruan's surprise and immediately agreed, "Yes, Madam, please pack up first. I will go to the front hall to wait. Welcoming the imperial edict is a big deal, so we can't be too perfunctory!"
Seeing Ruan's worried look, Jiang Shuyu hurried forward to comfort her, "Mother, now that father and two brothers are not at home, we must not lose our composure. Father is out on business now, and I think this imperial decree won't be bad. Yu'er will help you change your clothes first, and then we will go out together!"
Now Ruan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the clothes she wears are also designed for her. They are loose, soft and comfortable, and are indeed suitable for pregnant women to wear. If she wears them at home, it is appropriate. But now it is a bit inappropriate to receive the imperial edict.
