Chapter 1142: The Jiang Family’s Rise (1)
When the court session ended, everyone’s footsteps were unsteady.
It was as if he was drunk.
Jiang Huaian’s lips curled into a smile. Just now, he had already handed over all the symptoms of the Wen Corporation’s pregnancy, as well as the solution.
He was Lulu’s elder brother, and Madam Wen had just given birth to twins, so naturally, the Emperor placed him in an important position.
The Emperor personally recorded everyone’s methods in the court.
When he left the throne room, he treated it like a treasure.
“Lord Jiang, if the Empress can give birth to a prince this time, your Jiang family will probably be even more powerful than when Grand Secretary Jiang was still alive.” Some of the officials were jealous, and their eyes were green with envy.
In the past, Grand Secretary Jiang had been exiled and recalled back to the capital with great difficulty, and the Zhangsun family had been wiped out from the manor.
Back then, he even secretly mocked the Jiang family, which was at its peak.
And now…
Grand Secretary Jiang’s grandson was a high-ranking official in the court, and Grand Secretary Jiang’s in-laws, the Xia family, were almost at the top of the civil officials.
Grand Secretary Jiang’s granddaughter had entered the palace and was now the mother of the country.
That was fine. The Emperor listened to her every word. Even if she married an empress or an ancestor, it was nothing much, right?
The Jiang family had completely turned the tables.
As Jiang Huaian thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t gone to his grandfather’s grave to show filial piety for a long time.
Now that he was a Rank Two official, he should tell his grandfather.
His grandfather was only a First Rank official back then, and now he was only a step away from that position. Moreover, his grandfather had only become a First Rank official when he was nearly fifty years old.
As for himself, he was only in his twenties.
Jiang Huaian also became more and more strict with himself. He would never be a burden to Lulu.
He only wished that he could become Lulu’s reliance.
After Jiang Huaian left the court, he asked the servant to pass a message to his wife. He then bought some braised vegetables and headed to the cemetery.
He had not been to the cemetery for a long time. Grass had grown in front of his grandfather’s tomb.
Jiang Huaian squatted down and nagged as he plucked the weeds, “”Grandfather, your grandson is now a second-rank official. Lulu is now the empress. Grandson has never disgraced grandfather or the Jiang family.” He had picked up all the face that the Jiang family had lost in the past.
“You should be reincarnating now, right? Grandfather, if you were alive and knew about this, you would be so happy.”
“Unfortunately…” Grandson and you have a grandfather and grandson fate, but with him, there is no father-son fate.” Jiang Huaian sighed for a while, then picked up the wine jug and drank a few more cups with the grave.
How could he know that his grandfather was sitting on his grave and crying bitterly?
His grandson had worked hard. He had thought that the Jiang family was finished just like that. He had let down his ancestors.
He did not expect his grandson to be so hardworking. He had actually reached the Second Stage at such a young age.
Back then, he had advanced to Rank-2 for nearly forty years. He had stayed at Rank-2 for ten years before he advanced to Rank-1.
How old was his grandson?
Now that his granddaughter was the Empress, if nothing unexpected happened, the next Emperor would be a descendant of the Jiang family!
The old man was so angry that he howled. He took out the soul-capturing rope he borrowed from Chu Liang and whipped it at Jiang Yubai.
Jiang Yubai stared blankly at the young man on the grave. He didn’t know when his son had grown up.
Now that he had become a dragon among men, he could almost imagine the curses that the entire capital would hurl at him.
He scolded himself for not knowing what was good for him.
“Right, grandfather, my mother and father have been separated for many years. Now that the days were better, her mother had become radiant. Now, there are people outside who are here to propose marriage to my mother.”
“No!” Jiang Yubai’s expression changed drastically. No! Your mother loved me, and she didn’t even want her own family for me. Your mother loved me the most, and she would never agree!” Jiang Yubai roared.
