Chapter 241
The palace issued such an imperial edict inexplicably, but it didn't mention who was the "No. 1 embroiderer in Jiang'an County" yet, yet it was so arrogant.
It’s really hard not to be a little more suspicious.
Will it...
Nowadays, these individuals, who are openly friendly but secretly have their own plans, are all thinking about seizing Jiang Anning's title as "the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County" and trying their best to achieve what that person ultimately wants to achieve. Purpose?
Zhao Hai will definitely not succeed.
A whole family of trash can't even handle a helpless orphan girl.
But... Wang Shang originally planned to let Zhao Hai and his family get close to Jiang Anning, so that people would know that Jiang Anning had the ability to make money, and there was no problem with this idea of being greedy and calculating.
Most women in the world are trapped in inner houses, losing their identity and even their names. No matter how capable they are, if they enter that land of beautiful women and dead bones, they will inevitably be restrained and unable to free themselves and be unable to use their skills.
Jiang Anning got married, moved into someone else's backyard, and became someone else's wife or daughter-in-law. She could only let the other person control her.
Especially since she has long since lost the support of her parents...
Even if she was really tortured to death by her husband's family, no one would know about it, and no one would stand up for her.
When the time comes, you can make up any excuse to cover up the cause of death.
No matter what happens, there will always be the difficulty of giving birth.
Since ancient times, when a woman gives birth to a child, she has to go through the hell gate for a while. Whether she comes back alive depends on the mood of the King of Hell that day.
Ordinary people don't know what contraception is and isn't... Not to mention, most people in this world believe in having more children and being blessed.
Anyway, they don't have to give birth in person, and they don't have to go to the hell gate to die. Naturally, there is one more successor who can be chosen, one more person who can support the family, just one more.
In this way, even if they don't do anything, it's hard to guarantee that Jiang Anning won't die at the critical stage of childbirth!
Not to mention, the time of childbirth is when a woman is most vulnerable. Almost all her wealth and life are left to the control of unrelated people. As long as they casually arrange to bribe one or two people to deliver the baby, they want her. Life is easy.
At that time, even if the person dies... he may still be regarded as unlucky by the in-laws' family and may not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave.
Just pull out a piece of mat casually, and someone with a conscience might ask someone to put a thin coffin in Yizhuang.
No one will be sad for her, and no one will care about her passing.
In this way, their mission can be considered accomplished.
Mrs. An frowned in thought.
Could it be that the palace suddenly issued this decree to remind them to continue to act according to the original plan?
Zhao Hai's whole family can't be counted on, but that's not the case. Can anyone else take over?
Not to mention, now that they have such a good name appointed by the imperial edict... it will be easier for them to find reasons to let Jiang Anning live peacefully until he is twenty-five years old before dying.
Wang Shang frowned as he looked at the news sent from An Mansion.
He handed the note in his hand to Jiao Niang.
Over the past few days, there seemed to be more of a tacit understanding between him and Jiao Niang.
The relationship is much more harmonious.
"What does Mrs. An mean..." Jiao Niang raised her head in surprise after reading: "Let's find another family to marry Jiang Anning to? Is this probably what the imperial edict in the palace meant?"
Wang Shang closed his eyes and nodded.
Jiao Niang pursed her lips, thought for a moment, raised her head, and looked at Wang Shang: "Then what do you think..." Is this approach feasible?
If Jiang Anning is allowed to marry, then they will have another reason to stay in Jiang'an County.
Even if it's not Jiang'an County.
As long as it’s not the capital...
Perhaps it would be more reasonable to find a wealthy family in a remote place and marry him there.
"That day, seeing her smiling so happily while holding the newly hatched chick that couldn't even stand still, I felt like I was seeing the lively and lively girl I knew again."
Wang Shang recalled the scene when he spied on Jiang Anning.
There is a slight smile on the corner of the mouth.
The girl was slightly stunned.
Wang Shang... what does this mean?
"Have you forgotten that not long ago, you asked me to arrange for someone to design Jiang Fang to fall into the water and die."
Isn’t it ridiculous to come here to express sympathy?
Wang Shang calmed down a little: "Of course I haven't forgotten."
"It's just a pity."
"It was my own hands that shattered her innocence and beauty."
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I personally implemented the idea mentioned by Mrs. An. Why do I think this idea is not good?"
The young lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, Wang Shang suddenly changed the topic: "It's just that I don't think that's what the lord means."
"Huh?"
The girl was confused.
"If the Lord really wants to keep Jiang Anning in Jiang'an County, continue our previous plan, trap him in the inner house, and slowly work on it, he can send us a message directly."
Wang Shang's voice paused slightly: "Even if the master no longer believes in you and me, you can still send new people to take over."
"Why do you need to be so high-profile and cause such a trouble?"
"Now the imperial edict has been announced to the world, and rumors are spreading in countless state capitals."
"Do you think that the crime of deceiving the emperor is something fun?"
He sneered twice: "Do you really think your head is too strong and too strong?"
"I used fraud to replace Jiang Anning's reputation as the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County... I also wanted to marry people back home, drive them into slavery like cattle and horses, and pass off the embroidery work done by others as my own. How stupid!”
Wang Shang's eyebrows were sharp: "These lards are so stupid that they think that Jiang Anning can really stay in Jiang'an County after receiving this imperial edict?"
"I won't talk about anything else. How can the wedding clothes needed for Jiang Wei and Princess Shao'an's wedding be so easy to sew?"
"No matter how powerful Jiang Anning is, she is still just an ordinary person with one nose and two eyes."
"It's not like he has three heads and six arms. He can make a whole set of auspicious clothes and other items needed for the wedding of a wealthy family by himself."
"Even if a respectable family in Jiang'an County marries their daughter, they have to invite an embroiderer to embroider the dowry three to five years in advance."
"A family like Jiang'an Houfu will only need higher standards."
The young lady frowned, not quite agreeing: "But, if you go by what you said, then the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion should have already prepared several houses for weddings and funerals."
"How can it be like what you said, getting on the sedan chair and hurting your ears?"
"Even though Jiang Anning was designated as the number one embroiderer in Jiang'an County, the imperial edict appointed her specifically to be responsible for the auspicious clothes needed for Jiang Wei's wedding."
"It's not like we have to redo everything from beginning to end."
"According to what you said, even a respectable family in Jiang'an County needs to prepare three or five years in advance for marrying a daughter-in-law, and invite an embroiderer to their home to prepare in advance. The Marquis of Jiang'an wants to organize the wedding in a dignified manner. , not being criticized will only consume more energy and effort.”
"If Jiang Anning were to complete it all by himself, and start from scratch... it would take years and months to complete."
Jiao Niang's face was serious: "I think it is more likely that this imperial edict is just a formality."
“If it’s really just a show, why go to all this trouble?”
Wang Shang did not agree with what he said, and retorted bluntly: "I'm afraid that now, this imperial edict has been announced to everyone in the world." "Not to mention those few conspicuous things, until now, they are still holding those Imperial decrees are floating around.”
He sneered: "In my opinion... I'm afraid these conspicuous things are still enough to show off!"
Jiao Niang frowned, lost in thought.
"Actually, there is nothing surprising about this." Wang Shang spoke up and simply explained: "Jiang Anning may indeed be a cover, but this cover is used to cover up the time of Jiang Wei's wedding."< br>
"Concealing the date of Jiang Wei's wedding?"
Jiao Niang frowned: "How do you say this?"
"Haven't you ever thought about it? Perhaps the Lord does not want Jiang Wei to marry Princess Shao'an."
Wang Shang chuckled lightly, with confidence in his mouth that he was sure of victory.
"Huh?"
Jiao Niang was shocked: "Don't you want Jiang Wei to marry Princess Shao'an?"
Then why give a marriage?
"Or to be more precise, we don't even know yet who will become the Princess of Shao'an and marry Jiang Wei."
Wang Shang blew the tea gently and drank it in one gulp.
Jiao Niang was even more surprised.
"What do you mean you don't know who to make the princess of Shao'an?"
Jiao Niang thought of a possibility: "Is it possible that there is no such person as Princess Shao'an?"
But, how is this possible?
"Everyone in the capital is obviously spreading rumors that Jiang Wei and Princess Shao'an are a perfect match in terms of appearance, temperament, and family background. They are truly a God-given match."
"How, how...how could this person not exist at all?"
If this is the case, how do you come to the conclusion that there are rumors in the streets and lanes of the capital that almost everyone knows about a talented man and a beautiful woman with a nose and eyes, a good match sent by God, and a pair of strangers?
"You also said, those are just rumors."
Jiang Wei chuckled: "It is said that this thing is not trustworthy."
"If you recall carefully, have you ever seen a person with the title of Princess Shao'an in the capital over the past few years? Not to mention the capital, but also those royal family members with remote fiefdoms, have there ever been people with this title?"
"None of them, right?"
The girl thought carefully for a while and shook her head gently: "Indeed not..."
But she still refused to believe this fact.
It’s really unbelievable.
"But even if it didn't happen before, it doesn't mean anything at all, right?"
"There is no guarantee that the lord will not be the daughter of someone whose family he wants to be promoted to and forge a good relationship with."
Wang Shang chuckled and laughed: "Listen to yourself. Do you believe these words?"
The girl pursed her lips and said nothing.
"So, the most likely possibility is that Princess Shao'an does not exist at all."
"But we have to marry Jiang Wei to Princess Shao'an. What can we do?"
"At this time, Jiang Anning's role became apparent."
Wang Shang followed the instructions step by step.
Jiao Niang blurted out: "Delay time?"
"Clever!"
Wang Shang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and said quietly: "It's just delaying time."
"Otherwise, as you said before, the Marquis of Jiang'an must have prepared things for Jiang Wei and others for weddings and funerals long ago. Don't say that the time for the wedding has not been decided yet. Even if it is true, It’s been decided, and it’s set in three days… It’s not necessarily true that the Marquis of Jiang’an would panic and something would go wrong.”
"There is really no need to go to such lengths to praise a little embroiderer in a remote village like this!"
Wang Shang snorted: "When things go wrong, there must be a monster. Anyway, I don't believe that the imperial decree grants marriage and also names a little embroiderer to be responsible for the wedding of the Duke's family. .”
"This is not common sense."
"Besides, no matter what, Jiang Anning has now received the imperial edict and has to go to Beijing in accordance with the edict. Even if he does not need to thank the emperor for his kindness, he still has to show up at Jiang'an Marquis Mansion."
Wang Shang's face turned cold: "Those people want to take the opportunity to replace Jiang Anning and use her embroidery to replace this honor. They are also thinking blindly!"
"Not to mention the others, just Jiang Wei...could he not recognize that the person who went there was Jiang Anning?"
The girl nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that there is some truth?
"Besides, there is one more thing, have you ever thought about it?"
Wang Shang threw out the bait again.
Jiao Niang looked at him blankly.
"We no longer have a useless chess piece like Zhao Hai, but we still want to continue our previous plan. So what kind of family is the most suitable?"
Wang Shang continued to ask questions.
Jiao Niang shook her head, unable to think of anything for a moment.
According to her previous thoughts, she would naturally find another family that was even more vicious, had no moral bottom line, and was shameless than Zhao Hai's family.
It's best to be in a remote place where the sky doesn't respond and the earth doesn't work.
In this way, even if Jiang Anning died, no one would know.
No one will care.
Even if Jiang Wei and the others wanted to look for it, it would be difficult to find him for a while.
But it was obvious that what Wang Shang wanted to say was definitely not this.
Otherwise, why would he be here, rambling here and there, inducing her to think about all the twists and turns?
Wang Shang slowly added another cup of tea for himself, his voice was calm and his words were calm and calm: "Of course it's the one in the palace..."
? ? ?
! ! !
Jiao Niang looked at the person in shock, doubting her own ears.
The tone of her voice changed slightly: "Who?"
Who was this man talking about just now?
The one in the palace?
"You don't mean to say that the Lord intends to take Jiang Anning as his concubine, right?"
The girl screamed in shock: "How is this possible?"
Then he denied it repeatedly: "This is impossible, this is simply impossible!"
