Chapter 218 A bowl of water is uneven
Jiang Yuwen frowned, "Mom, this marriage has been decided. It's decided like this. I have to go on duty."
Zhong Qionglan's face immediately darkened. "Do you still consider me your mother? You made the decision on your own without consulting me on such a big matter. You really hurt my heart."
Jiang Yuwen said in a deep voice, "It's hard to treat everyone equally, but I also hope you won't be too partial. Don't interfere in my affairs. Just focus on educating the Xue family's children."
This was the first time Jiang Yutong saw her brother so serious. Zhong Qionglan was also stunned on the spot. Since she and Jiang Yutong became siblings, Jiang Yuwen had always been easy to talk to. She didn't expect this.
Zhong Qionglan burst into tears on the spot, "After all, you still blame me."
Jiang Yuwen made a gesture of invitation, "You should go back first, and don't come here again in the future."
After saying that, he took Zhong Qionglan out directly. Zhong Qionglan wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally returned to the Xue family helplessly.
Xue Sitong saw Zhong Qionglan coming back with a bad face. She knew what Zhong Qionglan had gone there for today, and it was she who brought up this matter.
"Mom, why are you unhappy? Is it because big brother didn't agree?"
Zhong Qionglan wiped her tears and said, "His marriage has been decided. It's with the Du family in Yinbai County."
Xue Sitong frowned, "Why did they arrange the marriage without even asking you? Do they still take you seriously?"
Zhong Qionglan was even more sad. "Don't say anymore. It's all my fault."
Xue Sitong pinched her handkerchief. She was unwilling to accept why everything failed.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and the wedding process with the Du family is almost complete. We will hold the wedding in the spring of next year.
Princess Dou also came to the capital with Princess Changning and Dou Xiumin.
As the future Princess of the Underworld, Jiang Yutong had to go to greet her own mother-in-law when she came to Beijing.
She was wrapped in a thick cloak, standing with Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Yichuan, waiting at the city gate.
Xiao Yifeng saw her red face from the cold and said, "Get in the carriage and stay there for a while. Come out when we get there."
Jiang Yutong breathed into his hands and said, "It's okay."
Through the cloak, Xiao Yifeng quietly held Jiang Yutong's cold hand.
Soon, a large group of people led by Princess Dou were seen arriving in a cloud of dust.
Jiang Yutong broke free from Xiao Yifeng's hand and stood up straight.
When the carriages arrived, Jiang Yutong followed Xiao Yifeng and his brother to greet them and saluted the first carriage. "Mother, you have traveled all the way here. Thank you for your hard work."
Princess Dou opened the curtain, looked at Xiao Yifeng first, and said to him, "It's not hard. The weather is cold, go back home first."
Then she waved to Xiao Yichuan and said, "Chuan'er, come here, mother. Let mother take a good look at you."
Then there is the deep love between mother and son.
Princess Dou didn't know whether she missed Xiao Yichuan too much or did it on purpose, but she didn't look at Jiang Yutong the whole time and ignored Jiang Yutong's greeting.
Jiang Yutong also raised his bent body. It seemed that Princess Dou was not satisfied with him.
Xiao Yifeng squeezed Jiang Yutong's hand, trying to comfort her.
"Mother, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Jiang Yutong."
Jiang Yutong bowed again and said, "Greetings, Princess Pluto."
Princess Dou then glanced at Jiang Yutong, feeling very unhappy, as she had seen Xiao Yifeng's actions clearly.
"Well, get up."
Princess Changning and Dou Xiumin got off the carriage and greeted Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Yichuan.
Jiang Yutong followed suit and saluted.
Princess Dou said to Xiao Yichuan, "Chuan'er, get on my carriage and have a good talk with me."
As soon as Xiao Yichuan got on the carriage, Princess Dou closed the curtain.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yifeng stroked Princess Changning's hair and said, "It's cold on the road, let's go back to the car. We can talk about it later."
Chang Ning smiled at Jiang Yutong and said, "Chang Ning meets sister-in-law."
Jiang Yutong's mood improved. "My princess, you have worked hard on the journey."
Dou Xiumin, who was following behind, remained silent, but just looked at Xiao Yifeng again and again, with a look as if she was about to cry.
At this time, Princess Dou's voice rang out, "It's not cold enough yet, right? Why don't you leave?"
Chang Ning playfully stuck out her tongue at Jiang Yutong and said, "Let's go back home first and look for my sister-in-law after we're settled."
Jiang Yutong nodded, watched the large group get on the carriages, and then prepared to return to his own carriage.
Xiao Yifeng held Jiang Yutong's hand and said, "Don't be angry. I'll come find you later."
Jiang Yutong could also understand Princess Dou's feelings, and smiled at Xiao Yifeng, "Just accompany Princess Dou and the princess well, I won't be in the way."
Xiao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she looked normal.
The matter of his mother had to be dealt with first, and then Xiao Yifeng rode his horse and led his men back to the Pluto's Palace, while Jiang Yutong parted ways with them and returned to the Jiang Mansion.
Princess Dou brought quite a few people with her this time, and it was already late by the time they were settled in.
Princess Dou kept Xiao Yichuan by her side the whole time, taking care of everything from eating and sleeping to studying, from playing to friends, no matter how big or small.
Xiao Yifeng stayed with him throughout the whole process.
Seeing that it was getting late, Princess Dou finally let Xiao Yichuan go back. Xiao Yifeng wanted to say something else, but Princess Dou just said, "It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Xiao Yifeng saw that Princess Dou was indeed tired, so he helped her settle down before leaving.
Early in the morning, Princess Dou prepared to enter the palace. She had not returned to the capital for a long time. There was also the Queen Mother in the palace. She was her mother-in-law, and she had to go and see her.
Princess Dou led everyone into the palace. When she saw the Queen Mother, she knelt down and said, "It's all because of my unfilial daughter-in-law that I can't serve my mother."
Then he hugged the empress dowager and started crying.
The Queen Mother was also wiping away tears. Seeing Princess Dou reminded her of her poor little son. How could the Queen Mother not be sad since she didn't even see her son for the last time?
The Queen comforted her from the side, "Don't cry about something that should be a happy occasion. You will make the Queen Mother sad."
Princess Dou quickly wiped away her tears and said, "It's all my daughter-in-law's fault."
Then he paid his respects to the Queen.
After everyone, big and small, exchanged greetings, they sat down.
The Queen Mother waved to Princess Changning, "Come here, Grandmother."
Changning had never seen her biological grandmother since she was born, and she felt a little unfamiliar with her. She glanced at Princess Dou, and when she nodded, she walked forward.
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Changning, who looked so much like her youngest son, and wiped away her tears sadly, "Good child."
Changning quickly hugged the Queen Mother and said, "Grandmother, please stop crying. You've damaged your eyes. I've been looking forward to seeing you every day. Today I finally get to see you. I'm so happy."
The Queen Mother wiped her tears and said, "I'm not happy."
The Queen smiled and said, "Changning has such a sweet mouth, she made your grandmother so happy. I'm sure you've already met Feng'er's fiancée. Why didn't you bring her along today?"
