Chapter 236 Don’t you want to climb the high branch of Changning Marquis’ Mansion?
"Sister, I passed." Jiang Mushi said happily.
Although he had not particularly wanted to become a disciple of a great scholar before, he had spent a lot of time and effort in learning during this period of time. Now that he had successfully passed the assessment, he was naturally happy.
"Okay." Jiang Suining smiled and said, "Has mother told you?"
"Don't worry, I've just told my mother, and she's very happy. She's just waiting for my father to come back and then tell him."
Jiang Suining nodded and turned his gaze to Shen Yanxi, "Thank you for your time."
The exams by those great scholars were not easy, and Shen Yanxi had really put a lot of thought into it during this period. She had heard Shen Yanxi giving Mu Shi advice on his writing before, and he was very serious and careful.
"You're welcome." Shen Yanxi smiled.
Jiang Mushi's admiration for Shen Yanxi has increased over the past period of time. "Sister, I plan to invite Master Shen to a restaurant for dinner. Do you want to join us?"
It was almost noon, and it was time for lunch, but his father would not be back until the evening, so even if it was a celebration, it would be dinner. So he told his mother to invite Shen Yanxi to the restaurant for lunch.
Meeting Shen Yanxi's gaze, Jiang Suining nodded in response.
After learning that Jiang Mushi had already reported to Zheng, Jiang Suining brought Xier and left the Jiang family with them.
When Han Nian'an arrived at the Jiang family in a carriage, he happened to see Jiang Sui and the others getting on the carriage and leaving from afar. So he did not stop and told the coachman to drive the carriage and follow them.
He followed them all the way to the outside of the restaurant, and saw Jiang Suining and the others enter the restaurant, and Han Nian'an also walked in.
After Jiang Suining sat down by the window on the second floor, he was not surprised when he saw Han Nian'an coming up the stairs.
The window seat had a good view, and she had just seen the marquis's carriage parked outside the restaurant.
When Jiang Mushi saw Han Nian'an, he frowned unconsciously, "Why is it you again!"
This Miss Han, no, Aunt Han, why is she still haunting us?
Han Nian'an ignored Jiang Mushi at all, and even Shen Yanxi beside her failed to attract her attention. After going upstairs, she stared at Jiang Suining intently.
"You are really lucky." Han Nian'an said gritting his teeth.
Jiang Suining smiled at her, "What do you mean?"
Han Nian'an's eyes flashed with cruelty, and his face was full of jealousy. "You are really amazing. You have been trying every way to get attention all day long. Now you have even received praise from the emperor. You must be very proud in your heart."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Mushi immediately frowned and prepared to refute, but Han Nian'an did not give him a chance to speak, and continued.
"Why do all the good things happen to you? I worked so hard to get into the Marquis' Mansion, but you are of such a low status, and Qin actually took the initiative to let her husband take you in as his concubine!"
When Han Nian'an said this, Jiang Mushi was stunned for a moment, "What, Auntie?"
"That's right, aunt, it's really pie in the sky!" Han Nian'an's tone was full of jealousy.
Of course, there was some truth to this jealousy, but it was more of a test of Jiang Suining. She wanted to know if Jiang Suining really didn't want to be a concubine.
When Han Nian'an said this just now, Shen Yanxi frowned. Now looking at Han Nian'an's appearance, the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
Shen Yanxi glanced at Jiang Suining.
The latter was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he wanted to use her to fill the deficit in the Marquis's account?
Oh, she hadn't expected that Qin would actually set her sights on her.
But Han Nian'an came to tell me this...
"Is Aunt Han trying to warn me to stay away from the Marquis' Mansion, or is she coming here to congratulate me in advance?"
Han Nian'an's reaction was indeed a little strange. After all, under normal circumstances, the other party would definitely not want to see her enter the Marquis' Mansion. However, her tone just now seemed to reveal a hint of secret provocation and encouragement.
However, although the Marquis of Changning's Mansion suffered heavy losses, Han Nian'an was still able to go out. Could it be that Qin had given her a task...
Jiang Suining's inquiring eyes made Han Nian'an feel uncomfortable. He calmed himself down and said sarcastically, "Such a good opportunity is in front of you. Do you think you can refuse to enter the Marquis' Mansion just because I don't want you to? Jiang Suining, why are you pretending here? I don't believe you will miss this opportunity to become a phoenix."
"Bah, what do you mean by flying up the tree and becoming a phoenix? Do you think my sister is like you, eager to become someone else's concubine?" Jiang Mushi couldn't help but curse, "What concubine of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion? My sister doesn't want it. Get out of here now. If you dare to talk nonsense here again, I will be rude to you!"
Although he was unwilling to argue with women, let alone fight with them, Han Nian'an was really an exception. Every time he saw her, she was so annoying.
"How dare you! I am the concubine of the Marquis of Changning after all. How dare you speak to me like that? You are so bold."
"Stop showing off here. No one can bully my sister in front of me. Not to mention that you are the concubine of the Marquis of Changning, even if you are the daughter of the Marquis of Changning." Jiang Mushi's tone was full of protection and determination.
Han Nian'an looked at Jiang Mushi like this, and a strong sense of unwillingness arose in her heart again. In her previous life, Jiang Mushi had never protected her like this!
Han Nian'an gritted his teeth and didn't continue wasting time with Jiang Mushi. He looked at Jiang Suining again, "Why? Are you trying to say that you don't want to climb the high branch of Changning Marquis' Mansion at all?"
"Whether it is a high branch or a hellhole, I think Aunt Han should know it very well. Although I have earned some money, I don't have the habit of filling other people's holes, and I will not fill the hole you dug." Jiang Suining went straight to the point.
Han Nian'an didn't expect Jiang Suining to guess the purpose directly. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly said, "You are so bold, you are disdaining the Marquis' Mansion!"
Thinking of the slap Jiang Suining had given her before, Han Nian'an quickly raised her right hand high, "I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my husband and mother!"
Seeing this, Jiang Mushi quickly reached out to stop him, but before he touched Han Nian'an, the latter's wrist was caught in mid-air.
Shen Yanxi's cold warning sounded.
"If you dare to slap me like this, don't blame me for being rude."
Han Nian'an was stunned and subconsciously looked at Shen Yanxi. When he met his gaze, he shuddered instinctively.
"You, you are so presumptuous. Even if you are an official of the imperial court, I am a member of the Changning Marquis's family. Why do you control me?"
"I have no right to control you, but if I report to His Majesty and accuse Changning Marquis of not managing the household properly and failing to control the female family members, what do you think will happen?"
