The young master of the Jiang family was slapped by Lady Jiang and sat down on the ground. The young master's face quickly swelled up. Shivering, he didn't know what on earth he had done wrong to make his mother so angry. He immediately thought that he was in big trouble this time. Suddenly, he looked up and his eyes lit up.
"Grandmother!" the young master exclaimed in surprise as he watched the elderly Lady Jiang being carried over. Although the elderly Lady Jiang had fallen down a few days ago, she could still talk. It was just that her whole body ached terribly. As for what the doctors said that she didn't have much time left, she didn't believe it at all.
Apart from a bit of pain, she was perfectly fine. Those doctors just liked to exaggerate. They were just eyeing the wealth of the Jiang family and trying to make a fortune! Humph! She had lived her whole life and seen all kinds of people. She was already fed up with such people.
"What's going on? Why is my precious grandson sitting on the ground? You, all of you servants, how did you take care of him?" the elderly Lady Jiang looked at the people around with a grim face.
When her gaze fell on Lady Jiang, it only paused for a moment before moving away.
"Wow..." Seeing the person who could stand up for him coming, the young master burst into tears and almost fainted from crying. It broke the elderly Lady Jiang's heart. There were many girls in the Jiang family, but there were few grandsons. This young grandson was born to Lord Jiang in his old age, so the whole family doted on him. He had never suffered any grievances. If Lady Jiang hadn't been extremely angry today, she would never have laid a hand on this child.
"Grandmother... Mother hit me." Young Master Jiang pointed at Lady Jiang and sobbed, showing the palm print on his face by the way. When the elderly Lady Jiang saw it, she flew into a rage and kept coughing.
"How dare you! As the mistress of the Jiang family, it's fine that you don't take care of the children, but you even hit my dear grandson!" the elderly Lady Jiang said with a flushed face.
Hearing the elderly Lady Jiang's accusation, Lady Jiang knelt down directly. She kept muttering in her heart that if it weren't for this old woman, would she have to humble herself to beg others? If it weren't for this arrogant grandson of hers, the person she invited wouldn't have been driven away.
However, none of these emotions showed on Lady Jiang's face. She knelt there humbly and whispered, "Mother, it's not like this. Because I was worried about your health, I specially invited the master of the Medicine Master Valley to come and examine you."
As she said that, she glanced at the elderly Lady Jiang. Seeing that the elderly Lady Jiang's expression softened a bit after hearing about the master of the Medicine Master Valley, she continued:
"I made an appointment with the master yesterday and invited her to come to our house to examine you today. Moreover, I had already informed everyone. Who would have thought that the young master would actually slam the door in the master's face.
Mother, the master of the Medicine Master Valley is not someone that just anyone can invite. It was only because of our Jiang family's reputation that the master was willing to come. After all, even the emperor may not be able to invite this person."
After Lady Jiang finished speaking, she saw that the elderly Lady Jiang's expression had completely improved. "In that case, where is the master now?" The elderly Lady Jiang had a good idea. If someone who even the emperor couldn't invite came to their Jiang family, wouldn't their Jiang family have more face than the emperor?
Just thinking about this made the elderly Lady Jiang's face light up with excitement. Her eyes were full of calculations. When the master of the Medicine Master Valley came, she must ask her to take a good look at her. And her son should also be examined. Why did he always have daughters?
Then there were the people from her natal family. Her elder brother was still bedridden. When the master of the Medicine Master Valley came, she would also ask her to go and take a look. In a short while, without even seeing the person, the elderly Lady Jiang had thought of everyone she could think of.
Seeing the calculating look on the elderly Lady Jiang's face, Lady Jiang knew what she was thinking. After all, this elderly Lady Jiang was an out-and-out greedy person. No matter how much you gave her, she would never think it was enough.
"Mother, the master of the Medicine Master Valley came just now, but was driven away by the young master." After Lady Jiang finished speaking, she stopped talking. She wanted to see if this selfish elderly Lady Jiang could still be a kind grandmother after the young master of the Jiang family had touched her interests!
After hearing Lady Jiang's words, the elderly Lady Jiang was completely stunned. She looked at Lady Jiang in disbelief and asked, "What did you just say?"
Lady Jiang patiently repeated, "The master of the Medicine Master Valley has already come, but was driven away by the young master."
The young master was standing aside. Although he didn't know who the master they were talking about was, he could feel that his grandmother was very angry now. For a moment, the young master, who thought his backer had come, silently hid in the corner, hoping that no one could see him.
"Grandson, is what your mother said true?" The elderly Lady Jiang looked at the young master with a livid face. She never thought that it was her favorite grandson who had done this.
"Grand... Grandmother..." The young master stammered for a moment. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately became cocky. "Grandmother, since mother was able to invite her once, she must be able to invite her a second time. Besides, she's an adult. Why is she being so petty with a child like me? She's so narrow-minded." The ten - year - old Young Master Jiang put his hands on his hips and said.
The elderly Lady Jiang doted on this grandson very much. Hearing what he said, she thought it made sense. "My dear grandson is right. Since you were able to invite her once, you can invite her a second time. If she doesn't come, just give her more money. Isn't that what people live for?"
She didn't believe that the master of the Medicine Master Valley wouldn't come after being given money.
Seeing the elderly Lady Jiang and the young master making a decision on this matter in chorus, Lady Jiang suddenly felt dizzy. She almost fainted from anger.
Was Mu Fengqie such an easy person to invite? Lady Jiang gritted her teeth and said nothing. If the Jiang family was handed over to this brat in the future, it would surely end up in a mess. It seemed that she had to make perfect preparations.
"I'll give you three days. If you can't invite the master of the Medicine Master Valley within three days, then you don't need to be the mistress of this family anymore."
Lady Jiang stared at her in disbelief. She never thought that this old woman would threaten her with the position of the mistress of the family!
"Yes, I understand, mother. I will surely do my best." Now Lady Jiang's face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a fly. She never thought that this old woman was so greedy.
