Chapter 652 Bai Yuhan's embarrassing situation
Aunt Kui came in a hurry, "Miss, why didn't you keep your son-in-law? There is a girl outside, she is very pretty. Miss and your son-in-law used to have a good relationship, why are they so distant now?"
"That girl must be the one Jiang Jinyan likes, right?" Zhang Yumo said, "How come he married me if he liked her so much! Aunt Kui, what happened between us before my grandmother passed away? Why did he marry me? Aunt Kui, tell me about it."
Aunt Kui was also confused. Did the son-in-law like Miss Bai? Why didn't she see it? However, given the son-in-law's status and position, it was not impossible for him to take in several concubines.
"At the beginning, the young lady broke off the engagement with the Li family. I don't know what happened. The Su family also came to propose marriage, but the young lady was unwilling to marry. I don't know why she was so depressed that she jumped into the lake. It was the son-in-law who jumped into the lake to save the young lady and... personally breathed into the young lady mouth to mouth.
Oh, many people saw it at that time. Madam Li was not happy with our breaking off of the engagement and said a lot of nasty things, saying that the young lady was a dirty woman... It was so nasty. The son-in-law said at the time that he wanted to marry the young lady. Even the old lady didn't believe it at that time. After some negotiations, the young lady was touched and kissed by the son-in-law, so didn't he have to marry her?
I didn't expect that the uncle is really good, treats the young lady well, and is a high-ranking official, and is a marquis. The young lady is lucky to be able to marry the uncle."
Zhang Yumo blushed when she heard this, and said, "I see."
She was puzzled. Jiang Jinyan had rejected her grandmother's proposal and was even so cold. He saved her and must be afraid of gossip, so he married her!
There is no love between them.
Aunt Kui said, "Young lady is the wife of the uncle now. Even if Miss Bai wants to marry, she can only be a concubine. Young lady is the legal wife. Our young lady Xiaochu is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Young lady must find a way to win the heart of the uncle. As long as the uncle's heart is with young lady and he gives birth to a legitimate son for the Jiang family in the future, our status will be stable. Young lady is the wife of Marquis Wu'an. Who in Shengjing City doesn't envy young lady for marrying well?"
Even Aunt Kui felt that Zhang Yumo was marrying above her station, so it was no wonder that so many people gossiped about her.
Zhang Yumo changed her dress and put on a cape, and said in a deep voice, "Mammy, I want to go to our shop to see the dowry that my grandparents bought for me. I wonder how it is doing now."
Aunt Kui said, "Miss, why do you suddenly want to go to the store? In the past, you always let Manager Wu take care of it."
"My grandparents have passed away. Since they have handed over all their property to me, I must not let them down." The Zhang family is considered a large family. There are many brothers and sisters in the Zhang family, but her grandmother gave everything to her.
These days, Zhang Yumo also learned that since she married into the Jiang family, her dowry has been managed by her people. The Jiang family did not want hers, and even the betrothal gift given to her is still in her hands. If she and Jiang Jinyan are not truly in love in the future, she only wants to take her part.
The Jiang family is still headed by Feng Jingyuan. Apart from the private properties of Jiang Jinyan and Jiang Fenghua, and with Jiang Huai's salary, the Jiang family is actually not wealthy.
Now Jiang Jinyan's salary is also managed by Zhang Yumo, so Zhang Yumo is very rich.
A moment later, when she came out of the back house, she did not see Jiang Jinyan and Bai Yuhan. She did not ask where they were going. She just asked someone to bring a carriage and took the maids Qiaohui and Kui Ma to the street.
Jiang Ruochu went to Feng Jingyuan's yard. Feng Jingyuan was thinking that her son had finally returned, and the couple wanted to let them be alone together as they had just been apart for a while.
-
Here, Bai Yuhan came to find Jiang Jinyan because she had once been in the palace and served as the emperor's concubine.
It was not convenient for Jiang Jinyan, a man, to come forward and explain, so he simply took Bai Yuhan to Feng Jingyuan's room and told her what had happened.
Feng Jingyuan was also very upset after hearing this. The emperor was too unstable to do this. She said, "Don't worry, Miss Bai. Have you explained it clearly to your family?"
Bai Yuhan's eyes were red. "I can't explain it clearly. Madam Jiang doesn't know the temperament of my family. They know that I entered the palace and married the emperor and became an empress, so they think I have become a phoenix. My Bai family has been doing business for generations. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class. So I can enter the palace, they..."
She was too embarrassed to say that the Bai family had already set up a temple for her in Jiangzhou. It was such a joke.
She added: "I don't even dare to go home now."
Although she served as Concubine Han in the palace for a period of time, her body was still innocent.
Feng Jingyuan frowned and looked at Jiang Jinyan. He really couldn't do it, and the key was that she couldn't help her either!
Bai Yuhan said, "To be honest, I also took refuge with relatives in Shengjing. But after they knew I faked my death and left the palace, they all blamed me for being stupid. But am I really stupid? What's the point of staying in the palace? Just look at what happened yesterday when the Queen Mother led all the concubines to attend the funeral of the concubines in the harem. Entering the palace means a life-or-death struggle. It's really terrifying."
She also hid in the crowd and watched the funeral procession yesterday. There were three coffins. She felt cold in her heart just thinking about it. What's more, the emperor would never like her no matter what. The Bai family just didn't understand.
Jiang Jinyan said, "How about mother go talk to the Queen about this matter and ask her to find a way to help Miss Bai."
"No matter how Ruan Ruan helps in this matter, the emperor did it all by himself without considering the consequences. Even if he wants to anger Ruan Ruan, he can't use the reputation of a girl for his amusement."
Feng Jingyuan was outspoken. Besides being the emperor, he was also her son-in-law. She added, "My Ruan Ruan will not take the blame for him. We cannot intervene in this matter. If things go wrong, the queen will be gossiped about."
Feng Jingyuan added, "I think he just relies on the fact that he is the emperor."
Jiang Jinyan wanted to say, isn't he just relying on the fact that he is the emperor?
"Mom, you can just complain here, but don't say anything nonsense in front of the emperor." Jiang Jinyan reminded.
Feng Jingyuan said, "I am not stupid. I would rather offend the emperor than anyone else in the world. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger!"
She held Bai Yuhan's hand and comforted her, "Don't cry, Miss Bai. You don't dare to go home to see your parents. You don't live with your relatives now. So where do you live?"
"Stay at the inn for now."
"How can a little girl live in an inn alone? It's so dangerous!" Feng Jingyuan said.
"I have nowhere to go, so I came to ask Lord Jiang for help. Lord Jiang is the only person I know in Shengjing." She said, "I can ask Miss Lin Yu to take me in. She and I are friends."
Jiang Jinyan said, "Lin Yu has gone to the frontier, and she won't be back for a while. If you don't have a place to go for the time being, I can arrange for you to stay in Xiangya Tower for a few days, and then send someone to Jiangzhou to pick up your parents to Shengjing. You can explain the situation to them and ask them to tear down the temple. After a while, everyone will forget about it..."
"Although my Bai family is not aristocratic, it is also a big family, and it is also well-known in Jiangzhou. My parents know that I entered the palace. This matter has long been known to many people in Jiangzhou. Even if I return to Jiangzhou, it is impossible for me to marry again." She said lightly, "If I go back and get pointed at by others, I might as well become a nun."
Jiang Jinyan had no choice but to say, "Mom, go find Ruan Ruan for help! Ruan Ruan is at Jishan Hall now and has not returned to the palace yet."
Feng Jingyuan said, "That's the only way. But don't make this public. If it gets out of hand, it won't be good for Miss Bai's reputation or the emperor's reputation."
She couldn't let Jiang Huai know yet. If those literati who liked to criticize morality knew about it, this matter would become a big deal.
