Chapter 1177 - 271: Painting a Portrait in Memory
Seeing Grandma Jiang return to express her gratitude, it was simply for a Needle Leaf Cypress, there was no need for her to make a special trip just to thank her in person. Jun Suxue first greeted her with a bow, "Please wait a moment, Grandma Jiang, the General has just gone to change his clothes, and I will send someone to invite him shortly."
"No rush, I’ll wait," Grandma Jiang said with a smile.
Jun Suxue watched her and knew there must be something she wanted to discuss with Pei Qin. She brought over some tea and hawthorn paste, "The food earlier was a bit greasy, please enjoy some hawthorn paste, Grandma Jiang!"
Grandma Jiang took the small bowl and quickly sized her up with a glance. Noticing her fair and lovely appearance and having heard she was not from a poor family, literate and reasonable, she smiled and struck up a conversation, "It was said that when Lady Jun followed Madam Pei back to Capital Jingcheng, she was known as the General’s fiancée and even wore mourning clothes for General Pei!"
Jun Suxue chuckled, "The General was so angry when he saw his own spirit tablet and memorial hall that he immediately ordered them to be smashed."
Grandma Jiang also laughed, and after finishing, she inquired again with a twist, "But you’ve always been with Madam Pei. Seeing that you’re not so young, are you planning to serve Madam Pei for the rest of your life?" She probed indirectly for an answer.
Jun Suxue understood her meaning right away. Pei Qin could not have more children, but an heir was needed, and her unclear status had been lingering in Tiance Mansion for so long. Officially, concubines were there to serve the lord and his wife. Seeing the inquisitive look in Grandma Jiang’s eyes, Jun Suxue replied, "I plan to marry into Tiance Mansion."
Grandma Jiang was taken aback. Was this being brazen or something else?
