I am in the world of immortal cultivation, I am taming beasts and ascending

Chapter 97 The Jiangs' Plan

In Fangshaozhai of the Jiang Mansion, Madam Jiang held the teapot in one hand and boiled the tea soup to just the right temperature. The aroma filled the room with fragrance.

She put down the pot with satisfaction, raised her head and looked out the door, a little anxiously: "Lianxiang, why hasn't the master come yet?"

"Madam, we have just sent someone to invite him! He should be here soon!" replied the maid named Lianxiang.

"That's right! I was too impatient!"

She waited patiently for a while, and when she was about to ask again, Jiangshan happened to walk in quickly.

"Madam, what do you want to see me for?" He walked in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead.

Mrs. Jiang took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the sweat off her face. Jiang Shan couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he helped her sit on the chair first, then he grabbed the handkerchief and wiped her face a few times.

"Why are you sweating so much? Isn't Huaiqing with you?" Mrs. Jiang asked with concern.

"He's also very busy!" Jiang Shan sighed, and then said, "The banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Almost everyone has arrived in the past two days!"

"How are the arrangements going?"

"Friends and relatives who live far away are all accommodated in our Linjiang inns of all sizes. Those who live nearby can come and go on the same day!"

He breathed a sigh of relief. He had been very busy these past few days, and being in Fangshao Zhai was a rare moment of relaxation.

"I have something on my mind that I can't get over for a long time. Now that I have arranged for the accommodation of my relatives and friends, I should hurry up and resolve this matter!"

Mrs. Jiang was full of worry and looked confused.

"I know what you are worried about! But what about Ye Liuyun and Bai'er?"

Jiangshan has been busy with banquets recently, but he also keeps this matter in mind.

"We promised her that if Bai'er was rescued, we would host a banquet to prove that there was no such thing as a wedding for the deceased, and we would set her free. But I really like this child! She is brave and resourceful, and she has the right ideas and is responsible! If she becomes the mistress of the Jiang family in the future, I will be at ease even if I close my eyes ten times!"

"What are you talking about, ma'am?!"

"But Bai'er refused to see her! They have no grudge against each other, why is that?" Mrs. Jiang was puzzled, but had no way to solve the problem.

"The reason why Madam is so anxious is that she is struggling with the question of whether to give her freedom or to marry her as a daughter-in-law!" Jiang Shan said.

"Yes, the banquet is just around the corner. If this matter is not resolved, I will be unable to sleep or eat well!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Shan finished the tea in his cup and stood up: "Let me go with my wife!"

"Where?"

"The one who tied the bell must untie it! Madam, you are worried and depressed, why not ask Bai'er what he thinks? After all, the daughter-in-law is married to him!"

These words instantly reminded her of what happened last year. It was because she insisted on finding a wife for him that she was beaten.

If she had not forced him at that time, perhaps Bai'er would not have been in danger of death. She often regretted and blamed herself in her heart. Why did she fall into the same old habit again now?

"Yes! You are right! I should ask his own opinion! Look at me! I am confused again, right?!" Mrs. Jiang blamed herself.

"Madam, you are just too concerned! It's human nature for parents to love their children!"

Jiang Shan comforted her and stayed by her side all the way as they walked towards Jiang Xingzhi's residence.

When the couple entered the room, Jiang Xingzhi happened to be sitting on a stool with his legs crossed, leaning against the table and throwing grapes into his mouth one by one.

The door creaked, Jiang Xingzhi tilted his head and saw that it was Jiang Shan who came in. He was almost choked to death by the grapes. He quickly put down his legs and obediently went forward to support his mother.

Mrs. Jiang was present, and the situation could not be exposed at the moment, so Jiang Shan could only glare at him fiercely and said in a low voice,

"You don't know how to sit or stand properly! If I see you like this again, I'll break your legs!"

"I just did something great, father, please be gentle with me at least!"

I don't know what was wrong with him, but he started making faces and acting cute.

"Get out!" Jiang Shan could no longer bear it and veins bulged on his fists.

Jiang Xingzhi quickly shut up and moved closer to his mother.

Mrs. Jiang seemed used to it. Jiang Bai stood up and called out to his father and mother, then sat motionless under the window, reading the book in his hand.

The sunlight shines on the yellow paper, warming every word and line. He likes the feeling of his fingertips touching the sunlight.

"Bai Er?!"

Mrs. Jiang called softly.

"Mother has something to say!"

His eyes still never left the book, as if no one could disturb his concentration except the things he cared about.

"Mother wants to discuss something with you, please see"

Ever since the marriage rejection incident, Mrs. Jiang has been feeling a lingering fear and has something stuck in her throat. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, so she looked to Jiang Shan for help.

"Your mother thinks that Liuyun is a good kid!" Jiang Shan took over the conversation and said, "If you have no objection, we will propose marriage in a few days and settle this matter later."

"No!" Jiang Bai interrupted and refused before he could finish.

"Why is that? Who do you like? Tell me and mother will ask for marriage for you!" Mrs. Jiang was a little impatient.

"Anyone will do except her!" Jiang Bai said calmly and a little indifferently.

"Did she offend you?" Mrs. Jiang was confused by these words. It was clearly a life-saving favor, but why did it sound like there was a grudge against her?
"Oh!" Jiang Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Shan glared at him unhappily.

"I heard that our Jiang family had already promised to help her clear up the matter of the wedding and give her freedom after the treatment was successful! She did it, so we should keep our promise and fulfill it!"

Jiang Bai told the story slowly.

"That's natural, so mother wants to clarify the matter of the wedding first, and then..."

"Mother!"

Jiang Bai suddenly stopped her loudly, put down the book, and then said slowly: "I don't have anyone in mind! Everything is just an excuse! Whoever my mother likes is fine, anyone! Except Ye Liuyun!"

The couple looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why Jiang Bai had changed so much, they felt that the matter had finally been resolved!
"It's up to you!"

Mrs. Jiang could not hide her loneliness in her tone, she knew that Jiang Bai was not telling the truth!

"Husband, let's go back! Everything should be done according to the original plan!"

"Don't worry, madam. Leave everything to me!" Jiang Shan felt sorry for her and held her arm.

"You two should lie dormant here, and the outcome will be clear tomorrow. Especially you, Jiang Xingzhi, watch your words and actions! You didn't get this name for nothing! Behave yourself!"

"Yes! Dad!" Jiang Xingzhi quickly agreed.

The Jiang couple walked away side by side.

"Third brother! Look, our father and mother have been in love for decades, and now at this age they are still inseparable. Aren't you envious?"

Jiang Xingzhi was filled with emotion as he looked at the two elders walking together lovingly, but Jiang Bai seemed not to hear him.

"Third brother! Your voice trembled when you said those three words just now!"

He suddenly changed the subject.

"Second brother heard it wrong!"

"Ha! You confessed yourself! Did I say those three words? What three words do you think they were?"

Jiang Xingzhi proudly showed off his own text trap.

"."

"You can't let go of Jiang Changsheng!"

He crossed his legs again and put grapes into his mouth. Even though Jiang Bai ignored him, he continued talking to himself.

"You've been looking at this page for a whole day! After all, the only page you can't turn over is yourself?!"
