Chapter 180: Ugly in appearance, but wishful thinking!
"Husband, what does this mean?"
Qiao's heart was trembling: "What happened to Wan Bai? Or did something happen to the Qiao family?"
Master Jiang looked at Qiao carefully, trying to see something from her face.
Qiao felt a little scared.
She had been married to Mr. Jiang for so many years and had hardly ever seen him act cowardly.
The last time they met, it was because she wanted Wan Bai to get married in Guangchang Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Qiao looked at Mr. Jiang with trepidation in her heart.
Master Jiang looked towards Mrs. Qiao and told the maids to go out in a calm manner.
Mrs. Qiao sat upright, she was a little nervous at the moment.
Seeing Qiao's awkward look, the coldness in Mr. Jiang's eyes dissipated a little.
He poured a cup of tea for Qiao and pushed it in front of Qiao: "Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up first."
Qiao did as she was told and drank the whole cup of tea. She couldn't stand the torment in her heart any longer. "Second Master, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"I am afraid of being so nervous."
Master Jiang smiled and said, "I have done nothing wrong, so what are you afraid of?"
Qiao glared at Mr. Jiang Er and relaxed a lot: "Mr. Jiang, don't you know how scary your cold face is?"
"Even scarier than the Duke."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang smiled even more brightly: "How can I be more terrifying than Big Brother?"
"Big brother is the one who led the troops to capture cities one after another and won back five cities."
Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Master Jiang never said these words, nor did he mention the Duke's past achievements.
Why is this happening?
Mr. Jiang observed Qiao's expression and changed the subject to mention Jiang Wanbai's marriage: "What are your rules for Wanbai's marriage? Do you have a candidate in mind?"
Speaking of this, Qiao has something to say.
I recounted all the people I had seen during these days, and there were a few who I liked slightly.
In the eyes of Mr. Jiang, these people were just slightly decent in terms of their family background, and there was nothing to recommend them as such.
When Qiao heard Mr. Jiang reject all the candidates she had chosen one by one, her jaw dropped in shock.
"Second Master, if you don't even like a family like this, how can Wan Bai's marriage be arranged?"
Qiao was really anxious.
Although she is usually partial to Jiang Rongzhuo, Jiang Wanbai is her first child after all.
Naturally, she considered Jiang Wanbai's marriage carefully.
I didn’t expect that the Second Master didn’t like any of them?
Mr. Jiang looked at Qiao and a slight smile appeared on his lips. After all, she was the wife he had chosen himself, so it was understandable that she was a little naive.
"I said something a little too harsh last time, so there isn't a single duke or earl among the people you picked out for Wan Bai?"
Mr. Jiang bluntly expressed Mrs. Qiao's concerns, and Mrs. Qiao immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Qiao: "As you said, I am not selling my daughter..."
Master Jiang laughed: "Even so, don't you see how great Wan Bai's reputation is."
"But even when I was on duty, someone came to me to ask about Wan Bai's marriage. She has her own reasons."
"It is not advisable to stop eating because of choking."
"You want to use her to get into a rich family, but being worthy of her and being worthy of a rich family are two different things. Do you understand?"
Mr. Jiang was very patient with Mrs. Qiao. Although she was a little straightforward in her ideas, she was not a vicious person.
After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Qiao felt ashamed and guilty.
She knew that she was marrying above her station by marrying Mr. Jiang.
Over the years, with her elder sister-in-law managing the Duke of England's mansion and her mother-in-law looking after it, she really had no say in the matter.
He is very clear about his own temperament.
She had always wanted to do something good to make her husband look at her differently.
But sometimes people don’t have this ability, they just don’t have this ability.
She wanted to find a good marriage for Wanbai. She thought everything about the eldest branch of the family was good, so she wanted Wanbai to replace Jiang Zhiyue and marry into the Guangchang Marquis's Mansion.
The fact is, the Guangchang Marquis Mansion is rotten to the core, and Jiang Zhiyue also cancelled her engagement with the Guangchang Marquis Mansion.
Her thoughts were known by the Second Master, who scolded her severely.
After that, when she looked at Wan Bai again, she became cautious.
After hearing what Mr. Jiang said today, Mrs. Qiao suddenly collapsed.
Mrs. Qiao covered her face and cried. Mr. Jiang looked at her without saying a word.
Qiao cried for a while before she looked at Master Jiang with tears in her eyes: "Master, do you think I'm rigid and greedy?"
Master Jiang didn't say anything, but just rubbed the jade ring in his hand.
After a long while, just when Mrs. Qiao thought that this question could not be answered, Mr. Jiang spoke.
"Yishuang, sometimes you don't have to delve too deeply into the reasons."
"As long as you know that you are wrong and can correct it, the matter will be over."
"As for greed, who isn't greedy?"
It was probably due to Mr. Jiang's temperament that words like these were always very convincing.
Mrs. Qiao was comforted by Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang quickly got to the point: "Something happened today."
Qiao's heart immediately hung in the air, and she didn't even have time to wipe away her tears. She hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Achan beat up your eldest brother's eldest son and threw him back to the Qiao Mansion."
"What?" Qiao looked at Mr. Jiang in surprise: "Why, how could this happen?"
Mr. Jiang looked at her and said nothing.
Qiao's mind was racing at the moment, and she asked tentatively, "So, what's going on?"
When Mr. Jiang heard that her first question was to ask for the reason, his expression relaxed a little and he briefly recounted the matter.
Especially when mentioning Qiao Lijie comparing the two daughters of the Jiang family in front of Jiang Zhiyue, carefully observe the changes in Qiao's expression.
When Qiao heard this, she immediately showed an angry look: "What does he mean by this!"
Mr. Jiang nodded and said calmly, "I want to ask, too. Ah Chan wants to ask, too."
"So, Achan asked someone to throw him back to the Qiao Mansion."
Mr. Jiang raised his glass and took a sip: "If the Qiao family knew etiquette, they should bring Qiao Lijie to apologize today."
"It would be better to ask Ti Yu to give him a beating so that he will remember what to say and what not to say."
Mr. Jiang’s meaning was very clear. This time he wanted the Qiao family to admit their mistake.
If the Qiao family doesn't come to apologize...
Qiao shuddered. She didn't dare to think about how angry the second master would be if her eldest brother was confused and refused to come to the Duke's Mansion to admit his mistake.
How will the Duke of England and the old lady react?
Only then did Mrs. Qiao realize why Mr. Jiang had asked her before, who was more important in her heart, Wan Bai or the Qiao family.
Qiao felt a little cold.
Of course she understood why Qiao Lijie said that.
It's simply that the Qiao family was attracted by the power and wealth of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, so they set their sights on the daughters of the Duke of Guo's Mansion.
And his target is precisely Wanbai and Zhiyue.
Qiao was furious. Even the Second Master was reluctant to compare his daughter with others.
Who the hell is Qiao Lijie? He actually compares himself to her daughter!
Even if he was her eldest brother's son, Qiao would still want to scold him as a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!
Ugly in appearance, but wishful thinking!
