Chapter 312: Chapter 265: Marquis Jing’an (Part 3)
Additionally, Jiang Yihuan is incompetent at managing the household, and the chaos has been increasing recently. If it were just some disorder in the household, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he needs to socialize and give various gifts to colleagues, and she even manages to make mistakes, causing him to offend many people recently.
"Since your health is better now, it’s best for you to manage the household affairs again. I’ll have her hand over the key to the accounts room to you in a moment."
"Husband, there’s really no need; my sister is doing well, let her continue. My health is unpredictable, well one day and unwell the next, back and forth..." Marchioness Jing’an said weakly.
Marquis Jing’an felt even more sympathetic seeing her like this.
"You have guests now; where are they? How about letting the Second Madam help entertain them, so you won’t be so exhausted."
"Can she really do it? Wouldn’t that be too much hardship for my sister?"
"The guests you are entertaining are the ladies from the National Guardian General Mansion, and there are some misunderstandings between her and them. This is a good opportunity to mend those relations," Marquis Jing’an said, "Servants..."
Marquis Jing’an called for a servant to notify Jiang Yihuan in her courtyard, asking her to come out and entertain the guests for the day.
Su Yaoguang turned back to the wing room of Marchioness Jing’an.
When everyone saw her return alone, they asked about the condition of Marchioness Jing’an. She glanced outside the door, indicating that everything was under control.
Previously, they said that man seemed upright, but now it seems like a fly doesn’t buzz around a seamless egg.
If that man didn’t have any flaws, he wouldn’t have allowed Jiang Yihuan to exploit them. Men—no matter how beautiful their wives are, they get tired over time, and the vixen who presents herself is fun for them, and keeping her around can relieve boredom. To them, it’s just another mouth to feed.
Su Yaoguang briefly explained the situation and then said, "From what I know about Jiang Yihuan, if she doesn’t stir up some trouble today, it wouldn’t be her style to court disaster."
Even if you don’t give her the chance, she will find a way to deliver a grand gift. Now that they directly handed this opportunity to her, let’s see how she performs.
Marquis Jing’an returned with Marchioness Jing’an.
Everyone inevitably exchanged greetings with him and chatted.
At this moment, the servant sent out and Jiang Jing returned.
As soon as Jiang Jing came back, without seeing Marquis Jing’an, she immediately started scolding, "I said before that there should be no ginger in Marchioness Jing’an’s meals. That ginger conflicts with the medicine she’s been drinking recently. If they clash, her health will suffer. Now, look, there are no ginger slices, but every dish has ginger water. No wonder her condition seemed much better a few days ago; seeing her face like this today, someone must want her dead invisibly."
"Jing’er, stop talking." Zhang Zhaodi pursed her lips toward the front, "Marquis Jing’an is here, don’t be rude."
Jiang Jing turned back, saw Marquis Jing’an, and said sarcastically, "Why is Marquis Jing’an here? Sorry, I didn’t expect you to step into this courtyard, I spoke a bit loudly. After all, I’ve been treating her for so long and haven’t seen Marquis Jing’an step into the main courtyard once."
"Marquis, please forgive her. My sister is a healer and can’t stand seeing anyone trying to harm others. She’s just too distressed over the Marchioness and lost control of her temper a bit."
"I’ve heard a little about Doctor Jiang’s medical skills." Marquis Jing’an listened to Jiang Jing’s sarcastic tone, and he was naturally displeased.
Despite his displeasure, upon thinking carefully about Jiang Jing’s words, he understood there was a reason behind them.
"You mentioned earlier that there is a problem with the Marchioness’s meals. Can you explain what exactly is going on?" Marquis Jing’an asked.
"It’s not really a big issue. The Marchioness needs to take some medicine for a while, and that medicine requires abstaining from ginger, meaning she can’t have ginger recently. If she eats ginger, it will conflict with that medicine, making the prescription I gave her useless. Most importantly, these two things conflict and could weaken her body. When I just visited the kitchen, I saw ginger water was added to every dish. There really is no ginger, so you can’t tell there’s any, but it’s in the dishes!"
"Marchioness Jing’an is the lady of the house; who is so intolerant that they want to kill her?"
The Jing’an Marquis Mansion has two ladies of the house. The only one who wouldn’t want her alive is the other one; even a child could understand such an obvious hint.
Marquis Jing’an frowned and said, "It’s probably due to the servants’ negligence in the mansion. I’ll dismiss all those servants later and find a new batch of cooks."
"I plan to set up a small kitchen and cook and eat in my own courtyard in the future," Marchioness Jing’an said, "That way, there won’t be any misunderstandings."
