Chapter 237 Han Yueying follows Han Nian'an
Han Nian'an's heart skipped a beat and he instantly became nervous, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't scare me here!"
"Whether you are trying to scare me or not, you can give it a try." Jiang Suining was the one who spoke, her eyes full of interest. "Come to think of it, I just received an imperial commendation, and Madam Qin wants to rely on me to fill the hole. In this case, if you slap me... I would also like to know what the result will be."
As he spoke, Jiang Suining signaled Shen Yanxi to let go of Han Nian'an.
Although there was no clamp on his wrist, Han Nian'an couldn't slap him anymore.
Jiang Suining was right. If I had scolded Jiang Suining in the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, Qin would have scolded her. If I had really hit Jiang Suining, I don't know what kind of trouble I would have gotten into.
Han Nian'an gritted his teeth in anger, but still put down his arm angrily.
"Jiang Suining, don't be too proud too soon, let's wait and see!" She just wanted to test Jiang Suining's attitude today.
Since she doesn't want to be a concubine, I have to bring her into the Marquis's Mansion!
She wanted Jiang Suining to endure all the ridicule and suffering that she had endured during this period.
Han Nian'an turned and left with a vicious look.
After the other party came downstairs, Jiang Suining looked outside the restaurant.
Han Nian'an got on the carriage, and just as the carriage left and Jiang Suining was about to look away, she suddenly discovered that someone was staring at Han Nian'an's carriage at a stall diagonally opposite the restaurant.
The other person was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen. Seeing the carriage leave, she quickly got into a simple carriage that was parked not far away.
When getting on the car, the wind blew the veil, revealing his face.
Although it was only a brief moment and the other party immediately pulled up his veil, Jiang Suining still recognized him.
Han Yueying.
So, Han Yueying is following Han Nian'an?
Han Nian'an didn't notice the carriage behind him. He just sat in the carriage with a full heart of annoyance. Thinking of what happened just now, he gritted his teeth in anger.
Jiang Suining is really good at flirting. Isn't Shen Yanxi the new top scholar? Why does he want to hang out with Jiang Suining?
But...if he likes Jiang Suining, doesn't that mean Jiang Suining has a chance to become the wife of the top scholar?
In an instant, Han Nian'an's heart was filled with alarm.
No wonder Jiang Suining looked down on the status of the concubine of the Marquis's Mansion. It turned out that she had already hooked up with Shen Yanxi a long time ago.
If Jiang Suining became the wife of the top scholar, wouldn't she be able to show off in front of me again?
No, she must let Jiang Suining enter the Marquis' Mansion!
"Hurry up, hurry back!" Han Nian'an urged the driver.
When the carriage arrived outside the Changning Marquis's Mansion, Han Nian'an got off the carriage in a hurry and ran straight to Qin's yard.
Neither she nor the coachman noticed the carriage that stopped not far away, and the crazy, determined look of Han Yueying in the carriage.
Two days later.
Jiang Suining received the invitation.
The Changning Marquis' Mansion held a summer lotus-viewing banquet and invited many female relatives, saying that as summer was coming to an end, they should seize the time to appreciate the lotus flowers.
Jiang Suining sent someone to ask Chu Jingyue, and she had also received the invitation, but she had been feeling unwell recently and had no plans to go.
Chu Jingyue also sent someone to pass a message to Jiang Suining, telling her that if she didn't want to go, she could refuse under the pretext of visiting him.
However, Jiang Suining did not refuse, but showed up at the Changning Marquis Mansion on time according to the invitation.
The back garden of the Changning Marquis' Mansion is not small, and there are indeed lotus flowers planted in the lake, but now there are more withered ones than blooming ones, so there is really nothing to appreciate.
Many female relatives were invited here today, and they didn't care when they saw the withered lotus.
In their opinion, admiring the lotus was just an excuse, and they probably still wanted to see each other.
However, most of them were willing to come not because they wanted to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, but because of the invitation, they did not want to offend Qin's face.
Among the people who came, several ladies and young ladies noticed Jiang Suining and came forward to greet him and start chatting with him.
They had already heard about the ice-making and the imperial edict of commendation. Because of Ningyue Pavilion, several of them were already familiar with Jiang Suining and had a good impression of her. Now, with the imperial edict, they became even closer to Jiang Suining.
When Qin and Han Nian'an came over, they saw Jiang Suining who was chatting happily with several people.
Seeing Jiang Suining standing with those ladies and young ladies, whose manners and demeanor were no less impressive than theirs, Qin couldn't help but sigh again at Jiang Suining's background.
If Jiang Suining's family background was higher, even if she was just the daughter of a minor official, she would definitely make Jiang Suining her principal wife and would never agree to Han Nian'an's plan today.
Behind Qin, Han Nian'an stared at Jiang Suining, trying his best to suppress his resentment and maintain a relatively normal expression on his face.
It will be soon. After today, Jiang Suining will have to be a concubine in this marquis's mansion just like her. The cold treatment and contempt she will receive will be waiting for her soon!
Jiang Suining caught a glimpse of Qin and Han Nian'an out of the corner of his eye, and glanced sideways with a smile, drawing the attention of several people around him.
"Hello, Madam Qin." Jiang Suining bowed.
Those who were of lower status than Qin also saluted in the same way, while those of similar status greeted her with a smile.
"No need to be so polite. We invited you all here today to enjoy the lotus and have a banquet. Please don't be restrained." Qin said the usual polite words, then walked to the sides of the ladies and greeted them.
Jiang Suining continued to talk to people as usual, but she could clearly feel that someone's eyes were falling on her from time to time.
Even if I go and see, I will know who it is.
After a while of greeting and chatting, the temperature gradually rose. Although it was by the lake, it was already starting to get warmer.
People gradually moved to the hall or the pavilion where ice and tea were placed.
Jiang Suining was also about to go to the hall. Han Nian'an seized the opportunity, walked to Jiang Suining's side, and whispered viciously: "Since you don't want to enter the Marquis's Mansion as a concubine, why did you come here today? You really say one thing and do another."
Jiang Suining looked at her with a smile, "It's hard for me to refuse the invitation from the Marquis' Mansion. Besides, don't you want me to come here today?"
This question made Han Nian'an feel guilty for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Why should I ask you to come over? Who do you think you are?"
Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I misunderstood. From the look on your face just now, I thought you really wanted to see me."
This relaxed and casual attitude made Han Nian'an's face even gloomier, "Jiang Suining, why do you always have to make things difficult for me!"
"I think I should be the one asking you this." Jiang Suining's eyes deepened slightly, and a light smile appeared on his lips. "Han Nian'an, there is actually something I wanted to say to you before."
Facing Han Nian'an's puzzled look, Jiang Suining spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Since you were reborn, you have been constantly competing with me and living with me as your goal. Is that interesting?"
