Aunt Gui's heart skipped a beat and she quickly persuaded, "Third Young Master, you can't say that. Miss Jiang Ning is your biological sister!"
"Sister? Heh."
Jiang Minglan sneered, as if he had heard a big joke, and looked at Jiang Ning with a cold look in his eyes, "I only have one sister, and that is Jiang Mengyue, not you, a village girl from the countryside! If only you hadn't come to the Marquis' residence, you wouldn't have caused so much trouble."
"Third Young Master!" Grandma Gui was shocked. How could the Third Young Master say that? They are siblings connected by blood!
Aunt Gui looked at Jiang Ning worriedly. Unexpectedly, the young lady's face was very calm, as if nothing was wrong.
Jiang Ning smiled faintly. If it had been in her previous life, she would have cried in shame. However, she had been hurt too much and her heart had become as hard as iron. Jiang Minglan's words could not affect her at all.
"I know, I'll keep it in mind," she replied.
Hearing the calm answer, Jiang Minglan was a little stunned. He said so many unpleasant things, why didn't he get any reaction at all?
It was like a fist hitting soft cotton, feeling weak and unable to vent all the anger.
"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm still busy tidying up the house, so I won't see you off." Jiang Ning said calmly.
"You ......"
Jiang Minglan wanted to say something more, but when she saw Jiang Ning's calm face, he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only leave with a sentence angrily, "Jiang Ning! You'd better remember it!"
After Jiang Minglan left, Aunt Gui felt worried and comforted Jiang Ning, "Miss, the third young master is an outspoken person, so he said those words... When you get to know each other in the future, he will naturally get close to the lady. Young lady, please don't take it to heart."
Will he get close to her?
Jiang Ning twitched her lips, she didn't have any expectations.
She had done so much in her previous life, even a stone would be enough to be warmed, but Jiang Minglan didn't appreciate her at all.
In this life, she just hopes that the water in the well will not interfere with the river and that Jiang Minglan will not become a stumbling block on her road.
"Aunt Gui." Jiang Ning looked at Aunt Gui, "Don't tell mother what happened today. I don't want her to worry. You are right. It may be because of the unfamiliarity between our siblings. After a while, it will be like this."
Aunt Gui's heart softened and she was moved that she felt sorry for Jiang Ning at the same time.
Poor young lady, if the child had not been changed by mistake and the young lady had grown up in the house, there wouldn't have been a mess like this."
Aunt Gui wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I understand."
Aunt Gui took care of the Ning'an Courtyard with the thought of serving her young lady. She was also afraid that the young lady had just arrived at the Marquis' Mansion and would not be able to suppress her servants without her prestige, so she beat them severely.
The Ning'an Courtyard was in good order, which made Jiang Ning less worried.
Aunt Gui returned to Madam Lin's house and praised Jiang Ning. She is such a kind-hearted person. She hopes that Madam can love her more.
Madam Lin was surprised. Grandma Gui was always serious and had never praised someone so much.
Ningning is indeed a good child, and someone who can win the heart of Aunt Gui is definitely not bad.
Madam Lin smiled softly, "Ningning is my daughter, so I will naturally treat her well. By the way, I am sending this box of jewelry to Ningning's house. When she first arrived at the Marquis Mansion, she had nothing. She needs to dress up when she goes out, so she should use these first."
The next day.
Jiang Ning sat in front of the bronze mirror while Chun Lan was combing her hair. The woman in the mirror was glowing and energetic. She had not slept so well for a long time.
In her previous life, she married into the Xu family and lived a life inferior to that of a pig or a dog. During the last period of time, she was locked in a dark room without seeing light, sleeping on the cold floor with rats and insects.
Now that she was reborn and able to sleep on a soft bed, it was rare for her to get a good night's sleep.
"Miss, the second lady is here." Dong Mei came over and informed her.
The second young lady refers to Jiang Mengyue.
Few people know that Jiang Mengyue is a fake daughter. The Marquis family is unwilling to spread the scandal, so they say that both of them are blood of the Marquis family. In the hearts of the servants, they respect Jiang Mengyue more. After all, the second lady is the one who has been brought up in the Marquis Mansion since she was a young girl, while the new young lady, who is said to be brought up in the countryside house, is vulgar and despicable, with no good upbringing.
"Let her in." Jiang Ning said calmly.
She didn’t know what Jiang Mengyue wanted to do when she came here early in the morning.
Jiang Mengyue walked in holding a valuable box. When she saw Jiang Ning, she smiled slightly, acting like a good sister.
"Sister, you went through a long journey, did you have a good rest last night? It's my fault that I came to disturb your tranquility so early in the morning." After saying that, she put down the wooden box. The box looked very valuable at first sight.
Jiang Ning glanced at the wooden box and looked away.
"How could that be? Sister, please sit down and talk."
Jiang Mengyue sat down, frowning slightly, and didn't drink the tea, as if she was worried.
After hesitating for a long time, she spoke eloquently, "I heard that Minglan came here yesterday and had a temper... It's my fault. It's all because of me that Minglan came to your place to cause trouble."
"The jade bracelet was accidentally dropped, but Minglan misunderstood it... It was my failure to explain clearly that made him misunderstand."
Jiang Mengyue raised her face with a look of guilt on her face, "Minglan didn't mean it. He has been close to me since he was a child and has a deep relationship. He only did this to stand up for me... I will tell him well, so don't be angry."
