Chapter 25 Request
Chapter 25 Request
This sentence was said lightly, but the listener heard other meanings.
Jiang Wanwan knew that Jiang Yunxi was deliberately humiliating her.
Jiang Wanwan cursed Jiang Yunxi a hundred times in her heart, thinking, "If I ever get the chance to step on your head in the future, I will make you pay me back a hundred times the humiliation you inflicted today!"
But she still pretended to be gentle and submissive, making it impossible for people to see what she was thinking.
At this moment, Jiang Yunxi didn't have the mind to guess what Jiang Wanwan was thinking.
Even Jiang Yunxi didn't have to guess, she knew what Jiang Wanwan was thinking.
Nan Nan saw that Jiang Wanwan had wrinkled the hem of Jiang Yunxi's skirt, and she frowned slightly, trying to pull Jiang Wanwan away.
Jiang Yunxi raised her hand to stop Nan Nan.
"I understand. Do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Yunxi said in a light tone. She obviously didn't believe what Jiang Wanwan said, and she was not interested in what Jiang Wanwan was going to say next.
When Jiang Wanwan heard Jiang Yunxi say "I know", she thought that Jiang Yunxi had forgiven her and immediately smiled happily.
Jiang Wanwan immediately forgot the humiliation she had just suffered and focused only on advancing her plan.
Although Jiang Rang listened to Jiang Siqi's words last time, he thought about it again and again and felt that he should marry Jiang Wanwan off as soon as possible:
Firstly, in three years, Jiang Wanwan would be an old maid, and the marriageable-age men in the capital would have already been engaged. By then, if we were to look for a marriage partner for Jiang Wanwan, it would be really awkward if the older ones were not suitable and the younger ones were not.
Secondly, if the Queen Mother and His Majesty knew that Jiang Rang disobeyed her orders, I wonder if the Queen Mother and His Majesty would attack Jiang Siqi again and hinder Jiang Siqi's career. After all, there are three years there, and it is very likely that something big will happen.
So Jiang Rang began to "sell" his daughter from door to door.
"I know my sister treats me the best."
Even though she didn't hear Jiang Yunxi's order for Jiang Wanwan to get up, Jiang Wanwan still stood up, pulled Jiang Yunxi's arm, and said coquettishly, "Sister, can you talk to the Queen Mother and ask her not to force me to get married?"
Without any preparation, Jiang Wanwan went straight to the point.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at Jiang Wanwan's expression and immediately looked away.
Jiang Yunxi knew in her heart that Jiang Wanwan never thought that she had done anything wrong, she just felt that the world revolved around her.
Even though Jiang Wanwan had just knelt down to beg her, she only had some ulterior motive for her, and there was not a trace of sincerity in her eyes or heart.
This made Jiang Yunxi feel a lot more relaxed.
If Jiang Wanwan really repented sincerely, perhaps Jiang Yunxi would really hesitate whether to let Jiang Wanwan go.
Since Jiang Wanwan has no heart, Jiang Yunxi will not have any heart for Jiang Wanwan either!
Jiang Yunxi came here today to push Jiang Wanwan into the abyss!
"Don't you want to get married?" Jiang Yunxi crossed her arms, looked cold and indifferent, as if no one was around her.
"I don't want to..." Jiang Wanwan stammered.
This hesitant attitude looks like there are some unfinished words that have not been said.
"You really don't want to?" Jiang Yunxi raised his voice slightly and asked Jiang Wanwan again.
Jiang Wanwan gently shook Jiang Yunxi's arm, her tone full of coquettishness, "Sister, please stop asking so many questions..."
Jiang Wanwan, on the contrary, felt that Jiang Yunxi was meddling in other people's business.
Just do the work, why ask so many questions? ?
What does it have to do with you?
"Since you refuse to say anything, I can't help you. The Queen Mother's words are golden and for your own good. You should listen to her carefully." Jiang Yunxi looked calm, and shook his arm to shake off Jiang Wanwan's hand.
Jiang Yunxi made a gesture to leave.
After hearing this and seeing that Jiang Yunxi looked invulnerable, Jiang Wanwan became really anxious.
These days, Jiang Wanwan tried to run to all the places where she had met the princes, but she couldn't see them anymore.
She also asked people to inquire around about places where the princes might appear, but the whereabouts of the crown prince and the eldest prince were kept strictly secret, and she couldn't find out anything.
Jiang Wanwan thought that if her mother Bai Shifu were still alive, she would definitely help her.
But Bai Shifu is gone now, and the servants in the house are useless.
Jiang Wanwan instead blamed Bai Shifu for not teaching her these methods of finding people, which put her in such a passive situation now!
She is not a good mother at all for keeping secrets from her own daughter!
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Jiang Wanwan sent visiting cards to the Crown Prince's Palace and the First Prince's Palace, but without exception, they were all rejected.
These people who like to curry favor with the powerful avoid Jiang Wanwan, but Jiang Wanwan looks down on these short-sighted people and thinks they are blind.
Only Zhao Zheyong, whom she had just met at the gate of Jining Temple, greeted her in a friendly tone.
Jiang Wanwan just then remembered this person.
She immediately concluded that Zhao Zheyong had feelings for her and made up her mind to marry him.
She confessed everything truthfully, "I...I want to marry the Third Prince...Can you talk to the Queen Mother and ask her to grant me a marriage?"
But she knew that Jiang Rang had recently had sores from quarrels over trying to find a marriage for her, and he had not been able to convince anyone to marry her, and had also suffered a lot of humiliation.
Jiang Rang would never propose marriage to the Third Prince on her behalf again. He felt that this was asking for humiliation.
Jiang Wanwan felt that those people disagreed because Jiang Rang was not a high-ranking official. If she found someone with status and background to ask for it, and gave enough face to Zhao Zheyong and the Jiang family, Zhao Zheyong would definitely be willing to marry her.
So, Jiang Wanwan immediately thought of Queen Mother Jiang Xueyi.
The Queen Mother is Zhao Zheyong's grandmother. As long as the Queen Mother asks, Zhao Zheyong will not refuse.
Jiang Wanwan submitted a letter to the palace but was rejected.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Wanwan heard that Jiang Yunxi had left the palace, so she had no choice but to come and beg Jiang Yunxi very reluctantly.
Jiang Wanwan didn't know that all this was part of Jiang Yunxi's plan.
Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan, who were following Jiang Yunxi, were shocked when they heard this.
Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan couldn't understand why Jiang Wanwan could say this so naturally?
Even Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan could see that the current situation of the Jiang Mansion had already been severely damaged. How could the Jiang family allow her to be so ambitious and incompetent?
Jiang Yunxi was not surprised at all. She knew very well that Jiang Wanwan had no self-awareness and didn't know that she could not be the principal wife based on her current status.
Given the current situation of the Jiang family, Zhao Zheyong was unwilling to take Jiang Wanwan as a concubine.
It just so happened that Jiang Wanwan was still daydreaming.
Seeing that Jiang Yunxi didn't say anything, Jiang Wanwan spoke again, "I know that Daddy has no intention of letting me become the prince's consort, and he is not willing to speak to the Third Prince and His Majesty on my behalf. If he wasn't my biological father, I would definitely have a fight with him."
"I am so beautiful that everyone loves me, and the Third Prince likes me. The Third Prince doesn't believe the rumors in the capital, and doesn't believe that my mother would do anything shameful. He always thinks that the daughters of the Jiang family are good. He only knows how to treat me well with all his heart."
"I know that the Third Prince just needs a step. As long as the Queen Mother mentions it, the Third Prince will definitely agree."
"Sister has always been very kind to me. Whatever I want, sister will fight for me. This time, please ask the Queen Mother to intercede for me. Ask her to grant me a marriage."
Jiang Wanwan has made a very careful calculation.
She only knew how to ask for things from Jiang Yunxi and never thought about what value she could bring to Jiang Yunxi.
Because she has been doing this since she was a child, and at that time Jiang Yunxi satisfied Jiang Wanwan in order to show her kindness to her.
This eventually led Jiang Wanwan to develop the habit of getting everything without paying any price.
