Jiang Ning's appearance is very similar to Madam Lin. She inherited the good aspects. Just standing there makes people's eyes light up and they can't help but be attracted.
Jiang Mengyue almost crushed her handkerchief into pieces and gritted her teeth.
Madam Lin spoke, "Let's go there first. Your elder brother and the others will ride over in a while."
"Okay."
Jiang Ning took her mother's arm and got into the carriage.
The Marquis's carriage was spacious enough to seat several people, and there was room for all three of them to seat on. Jiang Ning lifted the carriage curtain, looked at Jiang Mengyue who was standing in place, and slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "Sister aren't you coming up?"
Only then did Jiang Mengyue come to her senses. She was so shocked by Jiang Ning's appearance that she forgot to help her mother get into the car for a moment, giving Jiang Ning a chance to show her courtesy.
She angrily twisted her handkerchief twice before getting into the carriage.
As the carriage drove through the streets of the capital, Madam Lin told Jiang Ning about the interesting shops in the capital. Jiang Ning had just arrived in the capital and was still unfamiliar with the place. Madam Lin wanted her to get familiar with it quickly.
Jiang Ning listened carefully and felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart when she noticed her mother's attention.
Jiang Mengyue's expression on the side became colder and colder, and she clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves.
She felt more and more that she was being treated coldly. Her mother only talked to her own daughter and left her alone.
"Yue'er, if you have nothing to do, take Ning Ning to these shops to buy new clothes and jewelry..." Madam Lin saw Jiang Mengyue dazed, and she called out, "Yue'er?"
Jiang Mengyue finally came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Madam Lin noticed that Jiang Mengyue didn't look well and asked worriedly, "You don't look too good? Is there something wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night..." Jiang Mengyue replied.
"Then take a good rest when you get back and let Aunt Wu make some soup to replenish your body."
"I understand, Mother."
Jiang Mengyue answered obediently and nodded.
Along the way, Jiang Ning showed no abnormality, buried her hatred deep in her heart, and lived peacefully with Jiang Mengyue.
Madam Lin was very happy when she saw her two daughters getting along well, and couldn't help but smile. It was a blessing from her previous life that she had two such well-behaved and sensible daughters.
Arrived at the Jin Family Villa.
Madam Lin led her two daughters and stepped into the gate of Villa.
The Jin family Villa is very spacious, and the decorations everywhere are exquisite and elegant. Especially the peach blossoms that occupy half of the mountain have the most beautiful scenery.
Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the Jin family holds a flower viewing party.
Many guests have already arrived in the Villa, which is very lively.
Madam Jin saw Madam Lin and hurriedly came over to say hello, "Yuerou, you are here. Why didn't you let me know in advance so that I could pick you up at the door."
Madam Lin smiled and replied, "You are busy here, I don't have the nerve to disturb you."
Madam Jin looked at the two beautiful girls beside Madam Lin, "Yue'er is getting more and more beautiful, she is already a big girl..." After saying that, her eyes fell on Jiang Ning, and she paused slightly.
She heard rumors circulating in the capital that a girl in the Marquis family was in poor health after birth and was sent to the village to recuperate. Now she has recovered and was brought back.
She felt strange. She and Madam Lin were close friends, so why hadn't she heard that they had two daughters?
Now when she saw Jiang Ning's appearance had matched that of Madam Lin's, with a delicate appearance and clear and bright eyes, the doubts in her heart were immediately dispelled, and she said with a smile, "You are Ning Ning, good girl, you have suffered."
Jiang Ning took a step forward and greeted.
Madam Jin took off the bracelet on her wrist and took Jiang Ning's hand. "I didn't prepare any decent meeting gift. You should keep this bracelet for now and I will replenish it for you later."
"Thank you Aunt Jin." Jiang Ning smiled and thanked her.
"Good girl." Madam Jin looked at such a well-behaved girl and suddenly felt good in her heart.
Madam Jin knew the purpose of Madam Lin's trip and took them to show their faces in front of the ladies. Soon everyone knew that there was another daughter in the Marquis Mansion who looked very pleasant.
After walking around in a circle, Madam Lin no longer restrained her two daughters and said, "You go and play, Yue'er, take good care of your sister."
"I will take good care of my sister." Jiang Mengyue replied with a smile.
Jiang Mengyue led Jiang Ning out of the reception hall. After arriving in the courtyard, a cold look flashed across her face, and it disappeared in an instant.
She stopped, turned around, and said, "Sister, can you wait for me here for a while, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable..."
Jiang Ning nodded and said without thinking, "Sister, please go quickly."
Jiang Mengyue left.
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Mengyue's leaving figure with a calm expression.
She didn't know what Jiang Mengyue was going to do. People were coming and going here and it was relatively safe. She would be fine if she stayed here.
After a while, Jiang Mengyue came back, took Jiang Ning's arm, and said affectionately, "Come on, I'll take you to meet the ladies of the aristocratic family. Get to know a few more of them, and you'll have someone who can talk to you when you attend parties in the future."
Jiang Mengyue was particularly enthusiastic, taking Jiang Ning with her and introducing her to others cordially.
When the noble ladies heard that Jiang Ning had been staying in a countryside villa and had just been taken back to the capital, their expressions were different and their eyes were scrutinizing.
Jiang Ning glanced around. She knew all these people and they were the people Jiang Mengyue was close friends with.
In her previous life, she tried hard to squeeze into this circle, but she ended up overthinking it, and no one took her seriously. They even looked down upon her behind her back, saying she was from the countryside and was vulgar and ignorant.
In this life, she will no longer stupidly stick her neck on it, wasting time and effort.
Jiang Mengyue smiled and said, "Idle time is idle. How about we follow the rules of previous years and play drumming and passing flowers?"
"Okay." Everyone responded.
Jiang Mengyue turned around and explained to Jiang Ning, "The method of passing flowers by beating drums is that when the drums sound, the flowers in their hands will start to be passed around. When the drums stop, the person holding the flowers in their hands will compose a poem with peach blossoms."
At this point, she seemed to come to her senses and said with a regretful expression, "I forgot, sister, you can't compose poetry..."
Jiang Ning's face was pale and very calm.
She can compose poetry.
In her previous life, in order to live up to the expectations of the Marquis, she studied hard day and night, practiced calligraphy and painting, and almost fainted when she stayed up late.
She wrote an amazing poem. Jiang Mengyue happened to cry and said that the poem book she wrote was lost. Everyone thought she had stolen it. The Marquis even called her over and scolded her angrily.
