A Scumbag Father Doting on His Concubine

Chapter 337 Jiang Yan is embarrassed

This was the case for Xie Yunshu when Jiang Yan was invited in.

“I didn’t expect to work hard, Sister Jiang. Forgive me for being rude, so I have to lie down like this. Sister Jiang, please sit down!”

“Sister Yunshu, just take a good rest when she is sick. How can you make your sister feel comfortable? Why should you and I be particular about it?”

　　The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Yan was deeply concerned and her words were gentle and appropriate. Xie Yunshu followed her words and expressed her gratitude from time to time.

Another maid named Taoxi of Jiang Yan took advantage of the opportunity and said with a smile: "Our girl was thinking about Miss Xie yesterday, so today she got up early in the morning and ordered the car to be prepared, and came after a while after breakfast. It happened to be Miss Xie is here to relieve your boredom!"

Jiang Yan smiled and scolded Taoxi: "Okay, where do you have the right to speak? Why don't you step aside."

Taoxi pursed her lips and smiled, then said "yes" and stood back two steps respectfully.

 What can Xie Yunshu say? Even if I feel embarrassed in my heart, I can’t say it out loud!

She could only follow Taoxi's words to express her gratitude and touch, and praised Jiang Yan.

Just when Jiang Yan was about to say goodbye, Fang Muliu and Liu Xuezhi arrived.

 The two of them were also stunned when they saw Jiang Yan.

Fang Muliu smiled and said: "I didn't expect Jiang Yan to be earlier than us!"

Jiang Yan smiled reservedly: "I have just been here a while ago. If I had known that you were coming too, I would have made an appointment with you. It would have been better."

"indeed."

 Everyone laughed.

Fang Muliu and Liu Xuezhi have a lot to say, but it is inconvenient for Jiang Yan to be here.

I guessed that Jiang Yan had been staying for a while. Not long after, Liu Xuezhi stood up with a smile and said she was leaving, "Sister Yun Shu, don't bother entertaining us. You should rest more. Come visit your sister another day."

Xie Yunshu smiled and said a few polite words, and ordered the caretaker and An Tong to see him off.

 After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, we said goodbye and left each other.

 In the carriage, Jiang Yan closed her eyes to rest and was in a bad mood.

She put a lot of thought into preparing for the banquet at the eldest prince's house yesterday. Not only did she write many poems in advance, but she also practiced the piano, hoping to find an opportunity to show off her skills and amaze everyone with her skills. Unexpectedly, everything was ruined!

 Because of the poisonous scorpion incident, the banquet was in chaos and ended early, and she had no chance to show off all her talents. Moreover, he was pushed and trampled on, making him miserable.

Today she specially came to the Hou Mansion early to visit Xie Yunshu, just to show that her intentions were stronger than others and that she cared more about him than others.

But Fang Muliu and Liu Xuezhi came not long after.

 Her willingness to take the initiative was naturally greatly reduced. What's more, she is a smart person and is keenly aware that because of her presence, the three of them should have a lot to say, but they didn't say anything. Everyone was just being polite.

Although she knew that the relationship between the three of them was not comparable to hers, knowing it was one thing and accepting it was another.

She has tried very hard to blend in, but they just don't seem to notice. Why are she pretending to be noble?

　　We are all members of the Xiangyi Charity Foundation, but they form a small group.

It's not like she hasn't thought about winning over Ning Xian and Dou Nanshuang. However, Ning Xian lives up to her name, she is quiet and elegant, and doesn't care about anything. Dou Nanshuang is naive and simple, and has no such intention at all. She has tried it secretly, The reaction she got was not what she wanted, so she had no choice but to give up.

 Sometimes I can’t help but subconsciously think to myself that Ning Xian is the legitimate daughter of the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, the niece of Xiang Fei’s mother-in-law, and Dou Nanshuang is the legitimate daughter of the second master of Ruyang House, and the cousin of the eldest prince’s concubine. They have a good status. She, the granddaughter of the Dean of the Hanlin Academy, is a noble person, but there is a huge difference between a noble person and a powerful person. How can they be willing to listen to her?

If you were also a relative of the emperor, or the daughter of a Duke or a Marquis, the result would be completely different.

Taoxi looked at her words and saw that her young lady seemed to be in a bad mood, so she wanted to find something to say to her, and said with a smile: "My servant looks very kind to Miss Xie, and she is also very nice to the girl. And Miss Liu. , Miss Fang, are also kind-hearted people. When the draft comes, the girl will have a companion to take care of her!"

Jiang Yan didn’t think so in her heart. She thought, not to mention that the three of them were in a team. Even if they weren’t in a team, everyone was still competing with each other during the draft, and they were competing for who was more dazzling and outstanding. At that time, it would be fine if there were no stumbling blocks. What else would be needed to take care of it?

She would not say this to Taoxi. After hearing this, she nodded and smiled: "That's not the case! It's rare for me to have the same temperament as them."

Taoxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her smile, and followed her words a few more words. She couldn't help but envy: "Miss Xie's business skills are really excellent. This slave specially took a look at the furnishings in her room. But they are all very, very good things. The jade carvings, famous porcelain and various other furnishings on the ancient bookshelf and the long table in front of the moon cave window are all very good at first sight, and no one dares to touch them. Incense The copper animal button incense burner is inlaid with many gems. There is also a chest of drawers inlaid with mother-of-pearl, an embroidered couch covered with a white fox mattress, and the materials used for the tents, curtains, tablecloths and chair settings. The slaves have never seen them before. I don’t know what kind of famous product it is, but it looks very expensive. The Pingbei Hou Mansion is actually so rich."

Jiang Yan felt more and more troubled after hearing this. She suppressed her frustration and scolded: "Okay, please stop talking about other people's affairs! If you are envious, why don't I give you to Miss Xie?"

Taoxi was startled, and quickly shook her head to show her loyalty: "No, no, girl, please don't let me go! I am loyal to the girl, and I will never leave her under any circumstances."

Jiang Yan told her that she was amused and smiled, "Then shut your mouth and take a rest."

"yes."

Taoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

But I couldn't help but subconsciously think, if, if the girl really gave her to Miss Xie, would she be willing or unwilling?

 In the evening, with the help of Su Ming, the leader of the personal guards, the prince came to Xie Yunshu's bedroom.

Su Ming and An Tong had an exchange. An Tong bowed silently when he saw the prince, then withdrew and stayed outside.

Su Ming was lurking in the yard and keeping watch.

 “Shu’er is not really sick!”

The prince's heart tightened when he saw Xie Yunshu's fluffy bun, haggard face, and the smell of medicine in the room. He originally suspected that Xie Yunshu was pretending to be ill, but now he was a little unsure.

Xie Yunshu chuckled, "Of course I'm just pretending!"

The prince breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I know Shu'er is smart and can draw analogies from analogies."

 “Those scorpions—”

The prince's eyes turned cold and he sneered: "That's what they brought upon themselves. Sun Fangfei brought the scorpion with the intention of harming you and Miss Liu. When the eldest princess noticed it, she confiscated it and tried to stop it. Gu Ye just showed up. Just take it for immediate use. Gu Xin knows that no one will die, that’s all, give them a good time!"
