Chapter 653: Sisters Have Different Aspirations
As soon as Zhang Yumo arrived at her family's shop, she met her cousin, the Fourth Princess.
Seeing her alone, the Fourth Princess smiled and said, "Why did Madam Wu'an go out alone today? Why didn't your second sister-in-law come with you?"
Zhang Yumo was stunned. "What did my cousin say, second sister-in-law?"
The Fourth Princess leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The Jiang family has two girls. The Queen in the palace is your sister-in-law, and the Second Miss Jiang is your second sister-in-law!"
Zhang Yumo's face was full of black lines, and her face looked a little bad, "Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, what second sister-in-law, cousin, don't make such jokes."
Jiang Rumeng was very good to her, and her cousin felt like she was saying that Jiang Rumeng was a nun. She didn't like people making fun of Jiang Rumeng like that, so she didn't say these words out loud.
A hint of indescribable coldness flashed across the Fourth Princess' face. Zhang Yumo's conscience had really been eaten by a dog. They used to have the best relationship. After marrying into the Jiang family, she tried to curry favor with the Jiang family, and now she was of the same mind as the Jiang family.
Zhang Yumo used to go shopping with Jiang Rumeng every day. Jiang Rumeng was married to a small businessman who had no power or influence. It was only because her sister was lucky enough to marry the emperor that the Jiang family had the current status.
"Mo'er is angry now." She took Zhang Yumo's arm and smiled, "Mo'er and I are sisters. Besides, I dare not make such a joke. The Jiang family is now a royal family. Sister Yumo is really overthinking." There was sourness in her words.
"My cousin married the Fourth Prince, who is also extremely noble. You are the real royal family." She originally wanted to joke.
The Fourth Princess suddenly let go of Zhang Yumo's hand and said with a fake smile, "Now you have also learned to slander others."
Zhang Yumo quickly said, "Cousin, that's not what I meant, don't be angry."
She thought: She used to have a good relationship with the Fourth Princess. She didn’t know what happened, but her cousin didn’t pay much attention to her during the last anniversary of her grandparents’ death. Jiang Rumeng and Jiang’s mother also accompanied her at the time, probably because they saw that she got along well with the Jiang family!
However, she knew that the person her cousin had loved since childhood was the Fifth Prince Xie Shang. Now the third daughter of the Jiang family not only married Xie Shang, but also became his queen, and her cousin was also married. She should not have such thoughts now, right?
Then, Zhang Yumo smiled and changed the subject: "Why is cousin out on the street? Is she going to buy something?"
The Fourth Princess also quickly put on a smiling face, "My father's birthday is coming soon, so I came to choose a gift for him. I was thinking that Hongyu Pavilion was my grandmother's property, and my grandmother gave this shop to you after my sister Mo got married. I wanted to take care of my sister's business!" This shop was the ancestral property of the Zhang family, and now it belongs only to Zhang Yumo. Her grandparents are indeed very partial.
Zhang Yumo said, "So it's my third uncle's birthday. Whatever my cousin likes, I'll send it to my uncle's house."
"Sisters have to settle accounts clearly, I can't just take it for nothing." The Fourth Princess said half-jokingly with a smile on her lips.
The Fourth Princess also chose a gift and asked the servants to pay for it. Zhang Yumo wanted to refuse again, but she couldn't postpone it any longer, so she just said, "I will go to pay my respects to Third Uncle on his birthday."
"Of course you are welcome! Ever since Sister Mo got into trouble, it has been a long time since I last saw my mother. She always talks about you. She knows that you married well and is happy for you. It is also difficult to invite your Marquis, so you can bring him along when the time comes. Our Zhang and Jiang families are married, so we are relatives. We should visit each other more often in the future." The Fourth Princess muttered again, "He didn't even come on Grandfather's death anniversary. You have to take the initiative to tell him about such an important matter!"
"He was too busy. He was not here when my grandparents passed away," Zhang Yumo explained.
"Being busy is just an excuse!" The Fourth Princess said in a deep voice, "In fact, our Zhangguo Mansion has fallen into decline. Many noble families in Shengjing City no longer associate with the Zhang family. No wonder the Jiang family... He didn't even come to attend the funeral of his grandparents. In fact, you don't know what people say about you behind your back. If your husband doesn't participate, it's you, your sister, who will be embarrassed! You should be more careful. I'm doing this for your sister's sake."
Zhang Yu thought silently: Jiang Jinyan would not take these things to heart, but Jiang's mother and Jiang Rumeng accompanied her to worship her grandparents, so she did not feel lost.
Jiang Rumeng told her that when her grandparents had the accident, Jiang Jinyan seemed to be accompanying the emperor in fighting outside!
Zhang Yumo has been a quiet person since she was young. Now she said nothing and the Fourth Princess did not notice anything unusual.
"Moer." The Fourth Princess suddenly said mysteriously.
"what happened?"
The Fourth Princess pulled her aside and said, "There is something I feel I need to tell you."
"What happened to my cousin today? What happened?"
"You have to keep a close eye on your husband and pay more attention to him. Don't let other vixens seduce him. Men love to cheat. No matter if they are high-ranking or low-ranking officials, they are not good people..."
Zhang Yumo thought to herself: Could it be that the Fourth Princess also knows about Jiang Jinyan and Bai Yuhan?
She pretended to know nothing and deliberately asked, "Does the Fourth Prince still like to sneak around? Can't my cousin control the Prince?"
The Fourth Princess's face turned pale instantly. She was so angry when she talked about Xie Yang. It was not enough to have her. She always liked to cheat and even got the maid pregnant. There was a hint of sternness in her eyes, "A dog will always eat shit."
The Fourth Princess' maiden name was Zhang Yurou, and the person she liked was not Xie Yang at first. At first, the Zhang family thought that the Fourth Prince was gentle and honest, and it was better for her to marry him than the unpopular Fifth Prince.
Who would have thought that Xie Yang was not what she seemed to be, and she swallowed all her grievances deep down.
If the person she married was the Fifth Prince...
The Fourth Princess smiled and said, "We finally met. I'll invite Sister Mo to have some tea! Men are nothing. If they want to fool around, let them fool around. We'll just have fun."
Zhang Yumo said, "Let's do it another day. I have something to do today." She thought that she had to check all the accounts.
"You are the eldest lady of the Jiang family, what can happen to you? Go out more often in the future, don't stay at home all the time, there is still a long time to live, we women should live for ourselves, Lord Jiang has no concubines now, but he will have three wives and four concubines in the future, sooner or later, sister, just eat and drink, and live comfortably."
The fourth princess continued to lobby, "Look at me, I don't care who he hooks up with, I buy whatever I want, and I spend all the man's money."
Zhang Yumo only wants to spend her own money now. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Rumeng are very good to her, but she doesn't want to owe Jiang Jinyan and the Jiang family too much.
