Chapter 148 Good Fortune
Xie Changan dismounted from his horse, and a Jinyiwei stepped forward and took the reins.
He came to the sedan chair and stretched out a hand. Jiang Li took his hand and slowly got down from the sedan chair.
The crowd watching from afar gasped.
Princess Fuhui, dressed in her gorgeous attire, looks like a goddess or fairy, so beautiful beyond words!
Everyone sighed in regret. It was such a pity that such a stunning beauty was married to a eunuch!
"Congratulations to welcome the Princess back to your home!"
Manager Liu led his servants to pay respectful respects.
Aunt Lian went up to him with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Li held her hand and said with a smile: "Aunt, I'm back."
"Miss, thank you, sir. You almost scared me to death!" Aunt Lian couldn't stop crying.
Manager Liu stepped forward with a smile on his face and saluted: "Congratulations, Princess, congratulations, Mr. Xie!"
Xie Changan smiled slightly: "Congratulations, everyone."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk."
She took Xie Changan and went to burn incense to Fang Yi first.
"Mother, you are in heaven, you can rest assured."
Jiang Li said secretly in his heart, "I will be able to avenge you soon!"
Among the onlookers, there was a man who looked like a servant. He hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the Jiang Mansion.
When Jiang Xiuyuan heard that Princess Fuhui was leaving the palace today, he sent a servant to follow her secretly.
"What? The princess actually returned to the Longmen Dong family's house?"
The servant replied, "Yes, now the house has been replaced with a plaque of Princess Mansion."
Jiang Xiuyuan was stunned. At this point, what else didn't he understand?
His good daughter, Princess Fuhui, is none other than the owner of Longmen Trading Company behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—Mr. Jiang!
Jiang Xiuyuan only felt a chill spreading from the soles of his feet to his heart.
It turns out that after entering the palace, A'li not only hooked up with the East Factory, but also hooked up with the Crown Prince!
It is obvious that she and the prince knew each other when they were young.
When she entered the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still the inconspicuous third prince in the palace.
A Li must have joined him very early, first became a secret guard of the Eastern Depot, and later secretly founded the Longmen Trading Company, helping the prince to successfully win the throne. This is a great achievement for following the dragon!
With her merits, won't she be able to become the empress in the future?
Even if she can't become the queen, at least she can be made a noble concubine.
Why did the emperor grant her marriage to Xie Chang'an?
He changed his mind and thought, yes, for the sake of the prince, A'li offended the emperor and was sent to the cold palace. Now she is marrying Xie Chang'an, a "eunuch". Isn't it because she wants to remain a virgin for His Royal Highness the Prince?
The prince now still needs to rely on the power of Empress Zhang and the Duke of Zhenguo. In the future, when he ascends the throne and becomes more powerful, he will be able to welcome A'li into the palace and depose the empress and establish a new one!
Wouldn't he be the father-in-law of the emperor? Then, he would be a first-class Cheng En Gong!
I have to say that Jiang Xiuyuan is quite imaginative and his ideas are very beautiful.
The more Jiang Xiuyuan thought about it, the more angry he became. But when he thought of what Yu had done to Fang Yi and Jiang Li, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet: "Stupid woman, this is hurting me!"
No wonder the Longmen Trading Company targeted and suppressed the Jiang family's business everywhere. It was clearly A'li blaming them!
He hurried to the old lady's yard. He wanted to make amends as soon as possible and win A'li's forgiveness!
Jiang Xiuyuan sent the servants away and whispered his plan to the old lady.
"What did you say? You want to make Fang your second wife?"
The old lady looked unhappy, "She has been dead for more than ten years, why are you carrying her?"
"Not only do we need to raise her to be a co-wife, we also need to move her remains back to the Jiang family's ancestral tomb, and quickly!"
Jiang Xiuyuan said hurriedly.
"Are you crazy?" The old lady looked shocked.
Jiang Xiuyuan whispered: "Mother doesn't know, Ah Li..."
He informed the old lady that Jiang Li had now been conferred the title of princess, and told her the news he had obtained and his guesses.
The old lady was stunned. She could never have imagined that her little granddaughter, who had been thrown onto the farm and neglected since childhood, would have such great fortune!
She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why didn't she treat her granddaughter better in the first place?
"Quick, move Fang's grave back!"
The old lady said hastily, and then thought for a moment, "Don't let Yu know for now."
Jiang Xiuyuan said: "On the day of the palace banquet, Ah Li saved me from the rebels, which shows that she still cares about me as her father."
He gritted his teeth and said, "She also said that she would come back in the future to settle the score..."
Who should she settle accounts with? Isn't that obvious? Of course, it's the person who harmed her and her mother!
"It's all the fault of that vicious woman Yu!"
The old lady said angrily, "If it weren't for her, how could Fang die, and how could A-Li become alienated from us?"
She exchanged glances with Jiang Xiuyuan. The culprit was naturally the Yu family!
Although the Yu family has some influence in Beijing, compared with Princess Fuhui, the difference is like heaven and earth!
The person who supports A'li is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future emperor!
The next day, Jiang Xiuyuan took a special leave and hurriedly led people to Fang Yi's grave.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yi’s grave disappeared!
Needless to say, it was definitely done by A'li. She moved her mother's coffin away.
Jiang Xiuyuan was very regretful. A'li was determined to break away from the Jiang family!
He hurried back to the mansion.
Then, the old lady summoned her family members and announced in public that Aunt Fang, who had died many years ago, would be promoted to a concubine and her spirit tablet would be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
He also asked for the family tree to change the name of Jiang Li, the daughter of Aunt Fang, to a legitimate daughter.
Everyone in the Jiang residence was shocked. What were the old lady and the master doing?
Yu was so angry that her eyes went dark. She immediately asked without caring about anything else: "Mother, why didn't you discuss this with your daughter-in-law in advance? Where do you want to place your daughter-in-law?"
The eldest son Jiang Feng also said angrily: "Grandmother, father, why didn't you inform the mistress of the house in advance about such an important matter?"
How could it be justified to bypass the mistress of the house and promote a concubine who had died many years ago to be a co-wife?
The second son Jiang Song and the third son Jiang Huai were born to concubines. Although it had nothing to do with them, they were secretly wondering why their grandmother and father suddenly did this?
Although my younger sister Jiang Li is in the palace, I heard that she has been banished to the cold palace. Even if she has been restored to favor recently, the old emperor doesn't have much time left.
After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will at most confer her the title of Concubine Dowager. What good is there in currying favor with her?
The old lady drooped her eyelids and said, "I have made up my mind. You will know it in the future."
Yu was so angry that she felt dizzy. She immediately turned away and returned to her parents' home in a huff.
Jiang Feng broke into the study and questioned Jiang Xiuyuan: "Father, what happened?"
Jiang Xiuyuan sighed: "Your sister A'li is a very lucky person."
He refused to say any more.
Jiang Feng left the study room full of doubts.
Jiang Xiuyuan felt extremely regretful. He wondered why he didn't be tougher and protect Fang Yi from Yu's hands.
He came to the ancestral hall with great sadness and cried in front of Fang Yi's spirit tablet.
"Ayi, I had no choice at the beginning!"
He was just a small official in the Ministry of Works back then, and he had to rely on the Yu family's influence in the officialdom. How could he dare to openly challenge the Yu family?
"I was wrong. In my grave, I will bear the bruises on my back and apologize to you!"
"Ayi, can you send a dream to our daughter and ask her to forgive me as her father?"
