In the evening, Jiang's birthday banquet finally ended, and Jiang Zuiyao, who had been smiling at the guests for a day, had a very sour cheek.

Jiang went back to the room to rest, followed by Shao Wanyun, and the mother and daughter left with a smile.

Jiang Zuiyao instructed his subordinates to clean up the leftovers, and when everything was over, he walked to the east courtyard.

Out of the front hall, just passing by the small garden, I saw Shao Wanyun coming with a smile on her face, looking in the direction from the south courtyard of the Jiang family, and I don't know what she was happy about.

Shao Wanyun saw Jiang Zuiyao, her smile gradually dissipated, and she called politely: "Sister-in-law." ”

Since beating Shaojiang and Jiang's punishment for Jiang Zuiyao's sake, Shao Wanyun begged Jiang Zuiyao to exonerate Shao Ziqing, and Shao Wanyun was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Zuiyao.

Although Jiang Zuiyao knew it, there was nothing unpleasant between the two of them, and Shao Wanyun was only seventeen years old, so Jiang Zuiyao naturally couldn't deal with her, after all, it was her sister-in-law, and nodded with a light smile: "What is my sister happy about?" ”

Shao Wanyun pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother said that she would take the third brother's child into the house to see." ”

Jiang Zuiyao then remembered that Shao Zimo still had an illegitimate child outside, thinking of Shao Wanyun's happy appearance, he was really happy for his third brother.

It's just that Shao Wanyun couldn't help but think about this matter too simply, Jiang Zuiyao hesitated for a long time, and said: "Sister, you listen to my advice, it's better not to interfere in the third young master's child's affairs." ”

Shao Wanyun was stunned when she heard this, and her face immediately became unhappy: "What does sister-in-law mean by this?" Do you wish our whole family was having a bad time? ”

Jiang Zuiyao knew that Shao Wanyun would misunderstand her, and sighed: "I didn't mean that, but why don't you want to think about it, your mother has always refused to admit that child, why did she say that she wanted to hug her today?" ”

Shao Wanyun, who was still young, said coldly without understanding the world: "I really don't know where our Shao family offended you and made you hate you so much!" Is it because our family is not doing well that you are happy? What kind of heart do you have! ”

said this angrily, and Shao Wanyun left with an unhappy face.

Jiang Zuiyao was not angry, but shook her head helplessly, ignored it, and walked towards the east courtyard.

Xi Jun said beside him: "Master, don't be angry, Miss doesn't know what to do, you don't have to be nosy." ”

Jiang Zuiyao chuckled: "Naturally, I won't be angry with a child, it's just that after all, it has nothing to do with me, it's me who is too talkative." ”

At this point, Jiang Zuiyao stopped mentioning this matter and went to the east courtyard.

The snow kept falling, and Jiang Zuiyao didn't go back to Zuiyao Pavilion, and stopped in the East Courtyard today.

The next day, Jiang Zuiyao planned to go back to Zuiyao Pavilion, after all, his research had not been completed, and when he left, he asked: "Did you pay the Shao family fifty taels of silver every month?" ”

Linghui replied: "The slave maid sends it to Madame on time every month, but Madame refuses to accept anything. ”

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help frowning: "Then why didn't you tell me?" ”

Linghui replied in a low voice: "The slave maid thought that the young lady was indeed alienated from the Shao family by doing this, so she didn't say anything." ”

Jiang Zuiyao immediately glanced at her displeasure, but she didn't blame Linghui, after all, Linghui was also kind, but she had to settle the matter with the Shao family.

After careful calculation, it has been four months, that is, two hundred taels of silver, Jiang Zuiyao took two hundred taels of silver tickets, and went to the South Courtyard, she wants to send it to the Jiang family in person, no matter how Jiang refuses, she must give her the silver.

When I arrived at the South Courtyard, as soon as I walked to the door, I heard Shao Wanyun's sad call: "Mother, I beg you, return the child to me, I promised the child's mother to return it." ”

Jiang Zuiyao curiously stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard, and saw Shao Wanyun calling anxiously.

The maid Xue Qing persuaded: "Miss, go back, Madame's mind has been decided, you can't take this child back." ”

Shao Wanyun said that she would not leave anything, and Xue Qing was also difficult for a while, when she raised her eyes and saw Jiang Zuiyao, she hurriedly called: "Young lady, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward, looked at Shao Wanyun, who was crying urgently, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Qing didn't reply inconveniently, just looked at Shao Wanyun in embarrassment.

Shao Wanyun said with a crying voice: "At present, I refuse to return the third brother's child, how can this be good?" I promised the woman that I would give the baby back. ”

Jiang Zuiyao didn't plan to care about it, but nodded perfunctorily, and wanted to go in to see Jiang's, but Shao Wanyun said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, I beg you, help me persuade my mother." ”

Jiang Zuiyao's face sank: "My mother may not listen to my words." ”

Shao Wanyun shook her head and said, "No, even if it is for the sake of the Queen Mother, my mother will give you some face." ”

Shao Wanyun is really a little naïve and simple, this kind of thing is clear in her heart, it is indeed inappropriate to say it in front of so many people in the courtyard.

He said dissatisfiedly: "The eldest lady said yesterday that the master wished that the Shao family was not doing well, but now she knows that she has come to ask the master." ”

These words made Shao Wanyun a little unable to get off the stage, and she felt ashamed, but she couldn't bear to apologize to Jiang Zuiyao.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't have the same knowledge as her, and said: "I can help you persuade, but I can't guarantee whether this matter can be done." ”

Shao Wanyun's eyes immediately cooled, and she nodded heavily: "Thank you sister-in-law for bothering." ”

Jiang Zuiyao turned her head and asked Xiang Xueqing, "Mother is inside?" ”

Xue Qing nodded: "The slave will go in." ”

Xue Qing walked into the house, Jiang was sitting on the soft couch, holding a baby boy in his arms and smiling very happily, Xue Qing stepped forward and said, "Madam, the young lady is here." ”

As soon as Jiang Shi heard that Jiang Zuiyao was coming, his smile instantly dispersed: "What is she doing here?" ”

Xue Qing shook her head: "The slave doesn't know either. ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly said: "Hold this child down and let her add in." ”

Xue Qing frowned and said, "The eldest lady has been shouting outside for so long, and the eldest young lady already knows." ”

In this way, Jiang Shi also dispelled the idea of holding the child down, and said, "Let her in." ”

When Jiang Zuiyao entered, he saw Jiang Shi holding the child in his arms, just looking at the baby boy with a smile, and ignored her.

Jiang Zuiyao called: "Mother." ”

Jiang Shi raised his eyes and nodded slightly: "Sit down." ”

Jiang Zuiyao found a chair and sat down, carefully looked at Jiang's face, and could see that she liked the child very much.

After all, Shao Zimo was also born to the Jiang family, although this child is an illegitimate child, but he is also a son-in-law.

Jiang Shi hugged the child and asked, "What is the matter with you coming here?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao took out two hundred taels of silver, handed it to Xi Wei, and said, "I'm here to give silver to my mother." ”

Xi Wei put two hundred taels of silver on the kang table on the soft couch, Jiang Shi glanced at it, and his face sank: "Drunk Yao, what do you mean by this?" ”
