Chapter 342 Giving Gifts, Slapping Faces at the Door
Of course, Mrs. Lu knew that what Mrs. Qiu said was just polite talk, and she should just listen to it and not take it to heart.
If Qi Ya really felt that she had been wronged in the Jiang family, how could her mother, Qiu, not protect her?
However, before getting married, they had already made it clear that Jiang Chi was in the army and could not go home often, and Qi Ya could not feel resentful because of this.
If they cannot accept it, the two families should just live in peace and there is no need to become enemies.
The Qi family had no objection at the time.
Moreover, the fact that the Qi family was willing to personally deliver the letter, whether they truly did not believe what Jia said or were trying to please her, showed the Qi family's attitude.
So Lu was quite satisfied. She liked people who knew the big picture. Especially after experiencing Jia's temper, she liked Qi Ya, a sensible daughter-in-law, even more.
Qiu had a smile on her face, but she knew in her heart that Mrs. Lu specifically mentioned that piece of land to remind them not to covet that piece of land and the coal mining company, as they were Jiang Cheng's private property.
Moreover, Jia had already made a fuss about this matter and was divorced by Jiang Chi because of it. This was the attitude of the Jiang family.
However, Mrs. Qiu was not angry. Jiang Cheng was capable and close to the emperor, so she was just happy.
Although it was Jiang Cheng's private property, the Jiang family had not split up. If Jiang Cheng got the money, how could he not send it home?
When her daughter marries into the Jiang family and becomes Jiang Cheng's sister-in-law, it's impossible for her not to benefit from it.
Then why did Jia suddenly write a letter to persuade her?
Isn't it because she regrets leaving the Jiang family and wants to ruin her daughter's marriage so that she can return to the Jiang family and continue to enjoy a good life?
She is really dreaming!
Mrs. Qiu didn't feel sorry for Jia Xuan. It was her own fault that she was kicked out of the Jiang family, and then Jiang Chi got engaged to her daughter.
Before this, her daughter had nothing to do with Jiang Chi.
Now that her daughter is engaged to Jiang Chi, even if Jia Xuan regrets it, it's all her fault!
Why should her daughter break off the engagement and give Jiang Chi to her?
After what she did, what would happen even if her daughter really broke off the engagement? Could Jiang Chi still go back to her?
Don’t you see the current status of the Jiang family? How can Jia Xuan be picky?
If the Jiang family had not yet become prosperous at that time, he would not have married Jia Xuan.
After the two of them exchanged some business praise, Qiu took the initiative to say goodbye.
Mrs. Lu politely tried to keep her, then personally escorted her out.
As soon as Mrs. Qiu left the Jiang family's gate in a carriage, Mrs. Lu immediately went to the storehouse to choose gifts. She first selected the cloth, furs and head ornaments bestowed by the palace, and then she selected a glass ruyi given by Jiang Er, and asked her confidante, Madam Xu, to deliver it to Qi Ya personally.
The reason why I didn't let Qiu take it back directly was because it wouldn't look good that way.
She sent Nanny Xu to deliver it personally, which also showed the Jiang family's sincerity.
So when Mrs. Qiu just returned home and told Qi Ya about Madam Lu's attitude, she heard that the Jiang family had sent Nanny Xu to deliver a gift.
She immediately smiled with satisfaction and asked her trusted nanny to invite the person in personally.
When Aunt Xu saw Qi Ya, she naturally praised her again and showered her with compliments.
Qi Ya smiled generously, without any shyness or embarrassment.
Aunt Xu saw this and couldn't help but feel secretly satisfied in her heart. This Madam Qi was not petty at all, and it was obvious that she was not the same kind of person as Jia Xuan.
The other party is Jiang Chi’s fiancée and the future mistress of the Jiang family.
If they were well-educated, kind and generous, life would be easier for servants like them.
Thinking of how Jia Xuan had angered Madam Lu so much that she injured herself, Nanny Xu became particularly disgusted with Jia Xuan.
After giving the gifts, she did not stay long. After expressing the Jiang family's attitude, she asked to leave.
Qi Ya smiled and asked the maid to give her a purse with exquisite embroidery. Qiu then asked the nanny to send her out personally.
After Aunt Xu left, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "See, I told you, the Jiang family is a good one, and your future mother-in-law is also generous. When you marry into the family, your life won't be difficult."
Qi Ya looked at the glazed Ruyi and felt very happy.
This Ruyi is not only beautiful, but also shows that Mrs. Lu is satisfied with her.
After she marries into the Jiang family, as long as she doesn't make any mistakes or behave recklessly like Jia, her life will naturally be good.
However, she would not treat her stepchildren harshly, but she had to give birth to her own children. After all, those two children were not born from her belly, so they might not be sincere to her.
Qi Ya touched her flat belly and couldn't help but look forward to having a child in the future.
She and Jiang Chi's wedding date was set after the Spring Examination, so the timing was not too hasty.
She has been in mourning for her grandmother for three years. She is already seventeen this year and will be eighteen next year. She can no longer delay.
The Jiang family must be worried that if Jiang Chi doesn't get married, Jia Xuan will continue to pester him, so they are in a hurry to find him a wife.
Qi Ya touched the jade ruyi and felt that her luck was pretty good.
If Jia Xuan had not angered the Jiang family and been divorced by Jiang Chi, she would not have met such a good marriage.
Meanwhile, Aunt Xu returned to the carriage and opened her purse to look inside. Seeing a golden bean inside, she couldn't help but smile with even greater satisfaction.
When she returned to the Jiang family, Mrs. Lu gave her another task, asking her to go to the Jia family to warn Jia Xuan.
Aunt Xu left soon.
What she didn't know was that Madam Lu had also sent someone else to deliver Jia Xuan's letter to the military camp outside the city and personally hand it to Jiang Chi.
When Aunt Xu arrived at the Jia family, all the Jia family members were there.
When they heard that the Jiang family had sent someone, Father and Mother Jia were very excited, and thought that things would turn around.
So Father Jia immediately asked someone to invite Aunt Xu in, while he hid behind the screen and eavesdropped.
Grandmother Jia thought that the Jiang family sent people here to seek peace, so she wanted to put on airs.
When Aunt Xu came in, she saw her sitting upright in the main seat, with a cold and arrogant look on her face.
Grandmother Jia opened her mouth with sarcasm: "Could it be that the sun has risen from the west? Why did Madam Lu send you here? Could it be that she finally remembered my poor daughter and wanted to take her back?"
Aunt Xu looked at her strangely, almost suspecting that she had come to the wrong place.
Where on earth did this person get the confidence from? At this moment, he still dared to talk to her like this?
Did he think that all the young women in the world had died, leaving only Jia Xuan? If their eldest son didn't want to be alone, he had no choice but to ask Jia Xuan to marry him?
How funny!
Since the other party was so ridiculous, Aunt Xu naturally didn't show any courtesy.
She sneered and said, "Mrs. Jia, you're joking. My wife can't afford a daughter-in-law like your wife. My wife sent me here just to ask you to discipline your daughter."
Since we agreed to part ways and have nothing to do with each other in terms of marriage, please don’t keep pestering me and annoying me…”
As soon as she said this, she was interrupted by Jia Mu, who was furious: "How dare you be so presumptuous in the Jia family, you lowly servant!"
Aunt Xu was not afraid of her at all, and continued to sneer: "Mrs. Jia seems to be confused by anger. I am a servant of the Jiang family, not a servant of your Jia family.
If you are dissatisfied with the Jiang family, you can go and talk to our wife. There is no need to be so indirect and bully me, a servant.
But judging from your expression, I guess you still don't know what good deeds your good daughter has done?"
Grandmother Jia's expression changed drastically: "What did she do again?"
