The scandal involving Jiang Wanying and the Crown Prince of Xiliao added quite a topic of widespread discussion to the Empress Dowager’s birthday celebration.
Even though everyone was wary of the Empress Dowager’s and the Jiang Family’s power, they couldn’t help but gossip in private.
With such a stain on their reputation, the days when countless families sought the Jiang daughters for marriage were thoroughly a thing of the past.
Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager looked on with indifferent expression as Jiang Wanying knelt on the ground, sobbing incessantly, "Go back and get ready, prepare to marry into Xiliao."
"No, I don’t want to," Jiang Wanying looked towards the Empress Dowager in terror.
The second madam of the Jiang family hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Empress Dowager, Xiliao is remote and desolate, and Wanying has been frail since she was young—how can she endure it? I beg the Empress Dowager to rescind the order."
The Empress Dowager had no desire to speak further with the Jiang’s second madam and her daughter, and with a wave of her hand, she signaled for the chief madam of the Jiang family to take the two away.
After they left, the Empress Dowager’s face turned gloomy, and she smashed a teacup in anger.
Duke Cheng’en said, "Empress Dowager, the situation is already like this, Wanying... Wanying is still blood of the Jiang family. I beseech the Empress Dowager to take pity and negotiate some advantages for her, so that she isn’t too miserable after marrying into Xiliao."
The Empress Dowager calmed her anger slightly, "Xiliao came wanting to marry a princess, what I can do, is to secure a princess’s title for Wanying."
She said, glancing at Duke Cheng’en and the Jiang Princely Heir.
"That’s enough, you both should leave as well. Look after that mother and daughter pair, don’t let them do anything foolish."
To think that Jiang Wanying was foolish enough to present herself, and Jiang Tangshi’s daughter make such a spectacle in front of everyone—it was better not to mention this mother and daughter anymore.
...
Just when everyone thought Jiang Wanying would marry into Xiliao, there had been no response from the Emperor’s side.
