Chapter 5 Her Family, Her Determination
Grandfather was injured, but not all his kung fu and internal strength were lost.
Such words with inner strength sounded like thunder. Hua Chan immediately helped Jiang Ruohua up and walked in with her swaggeringly.
How dare the servants stop him?
They had no excuse to stop him.
Entering inside, Jiang Ruohua suddenly realized that she had not been here for many years, and her grandfather was still much the same as in her memory. However, her grandfather, who had a broken leg, was no longer able to see the battlefield, and the wound would still hurt on rainy days.
"My granddaughter wishes my grandfather good wishes." Jiang Ruohua didn't even wipe her face, so she greeted her grandfather with tears on her eyelashes.
The old man didn't seem happy when he saw it, but when he saw Jiang Ruohua's eyes were filled with tears and her skirt was dirty, he suddenly became heartbroken and felt distressed.
"Why did it fall like this?" The Duke of Guo looked at the granddaughter whom he loved so much in his early years. In the blink of an eye, he became a grown-up girl. Unfortunately...
"Just now at the entrance of the courtyard, a stone brick broke and I accidentally fell." Jiang Ruohua lowered his head slightly and said, "It's much better now."
The Duke looked at her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and waved to his granddaughter.
When Jiang Ruohua saw this, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Injuring your foot is not a trivial matter." Mr. Guo glanced at his granddaughter's limping appearance and said, "Go and get the medicine, and then ask for a doctor."
The two young men who were serving the Duke were dismissed.
Jiang Ruohua glanced at Hua Chan, who picked up the teacup on the table and poured two cups of tea, then walked out.
"Grandpa, how are you doing lately?" Jiang Ruohua looked at the Duke, feeling worried, "The third aunt always said that your health is not good, and I always heard from the attendants that you have already fallen asleep. When the doctor comes, you will still be there." Let’s show it to grandpa first.”
"Okay, little fox, you can't fool grandpa." Although he said this, the Duke of Guo was not angry. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ruohua's injured foot with concern, "I just fell, and I fell so hard on purpose. What? Your father taught you Kungfu, it’s just a piece of gravel, but it’s hard for you to come and see Grandpa. I’m an old man. I’m losing one year of my life. I don’t know if I can still see my granddaughter. How many times..."
These words were said sourly. The Duke snorted and closed his eyes. He knew some things well and secretly hid his sadness. Fortunately, his granddaughter didn't come because she was tired of this old man.
Jiang Ruohua smiled and felt as if she was back to when she was three or five years old. She sat next to the Duke and said: "I will definitely be able to visit grandpa every day in the future. How can I let others coax me every day? Don't worry about me if this hurts grandpa." I’m getting better quickly when I’m young, not to mention it’s still useful!”
"You are the only one with many evil ideas." The Duke of Guo blamed her, with a slightly sad look on his old face, and then confessed, "Grandpa almost thought that you didn't want to get close to grandpa... Well, when I ask about you, She always said that you were learning etiquette from your grandma and wanted to be the impeccable Princess Ying... After all, grandpa misjudged the person and left you in her hands. "
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ruohua roughly understood who the Duke of Guo was talking about. The third lady looked gentle and gentle, and she also had her own way of speaking. She could always catch what others wanted, and then infiltrated and nibbled away bit by bit. Others are just like in a dream.
Only when you really understand what others are doing and thinking, you will feel that there are sharp knives hidden in the soft words of the third lady, and the knives can kill people!
"I won't let her go on like this anymore." Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips, "I feel relieved when I see grandpa today. Grandpa has difficulty moving, and I will take care of it when he is in the house."
"You have a good brain, but you still have to fall for her lies. Save yourself and wait until your father returns to Beijing at the end of the year." The Duke of Guo knew that he was trapped here, and his granddaughter was about to get married, so why bother? Do you have any more experience dealing with that kind of snake-hearted woman?
What's more, this child has a temperament that must be the best in whatever he does. If he is pushed into a hurry, won't it also ruin the reputation of his daughter's family?
"You must not act rashly. You want to be a princess, so as not to ruin your reputation." The Duke of Guo also had his own plans and was unwilling to let his still young granddaughter do these things.
"I won't do it anymore." Jiang Ruohua's eyes were a little red, "Grandpa, I entered the palace a few days ago, and King Ying and I have broken off our engagement."
The Duke of Guo was slightly startled when he heard this. He opened his mouth and then murmured: "...It doesn't matter if you retreat, or if you retreat."
"Grandpa, I won't hide it from you." Jiang Ruohua had tears in her eyes. She didn't want to make her relatives sad like in the dream. Even if it was a dream, it really made her heartache, making her wish she could die to free herself. "I got some advice from a senior person a few days ago, and I suddenly realized it. I went to inquire about other mistresses' practices, and realized that I had been kept in the dark for so long, and that the King of Ying was not a good match either. I carry her with me, just because the third lady said that a princess should be measured, and it was even more humiliating for me to completely ignore it. The princess has not yet married, but she is so close to the woman who is still in the boudoir. It is obvious that there is no one in our family. !”
"Is this happening?" The Duke of Guo couldn't believe it. "Does Prince Ying take the Duke's Palace seriously? It's too much to bully someone!"
Although the imperial power is supreme, are the generations of meritorious officials in the Duke's palace not worthy of a prince's respect? This King of Ying is not a prince, and he is getting close to other women in front of his unmarried wife. If someone else could get an in-law in the Duke's Mansion, he would have to offer his granddaughter as a Bodhisattva. Who dares not to please him?
If you still want the support of the Jiang family, let King Ying have his bullshit dreams!
Not to mention taking into account the feelings of his wife's family, he actually doesn't even care about his own face. If he has a girl who is a concubine, even if he goes to such a dirty place to have fun, she is a girl from a good family. Don’t both men and women understand? The rules and etiquette of King Ying and Miss Zhao have all been learned from dogs!
"It's so shameless!" The Duke became angrier as he thought about it, and he started to curse!
"Grandpa, don't be upset. I tried a trick. Anyway, I see that the emperor is not very happy with this marriage. So I just deliberately acted stupidly and gave the Tian family face and dignity. It's not much trouble to break off the engagement."
Grandpa, and dad, Jiang Ruohua thought silently in her heart. She had made up her mind. There were some things she had to do by herself. She expected no one else to do it but herself: "Grandpa, don't worry about me. I won't act rashly. I'll wait." Daddy is back."
She has been smart and bright since she was a child, but she has always been told a lot of weird ideas by the Duke of the Kingdom. Now it is time for these weird ideas to come in handy. She will no longer blindly compromise. She will use them to protect what she wants and what she longs for. After getting this with my own hands, I am no longer as good as before, and I have to beg others for help!
The firm look on his face made the old man feel relieved and trusting, so there was no need to say anything.
