Jiang Ning waved her hand, and a big stone fell from her heart. The trajectory of this life has changed. Grandpa Xue no longer has to send the black-haired person away before the white-haired person, and can finally be together with his family.
Jiang Ning walked out of the teahouse and prepared to return to the Marquis Mansion.
When she was about to go back, she thought of the roast duck in Eight Treasure Pavilion and planned to take one back.
During this time, her mother was worried about Jiang Minglan and had lost a lot of energy in her body. She had to eat more to make up for it.
With this thought in mind, she ordered the coachman to go to Eight Treasure Pavilion.
The carriage drove slowly and stopped at the entrance of Eight Treasure Pavilion.
Jiang Ning got off the carriage.
When she was about to walk in, she found that Shuangyue was standing there and did not follow her.
Jiang Ning turned around, "What's wrong?"
Shuangyue looked in one direction. On the street not far away, a slender and weak figure walked quickly. She wore a curtain hat on her head, lowering the brim of the hat so that her face could not be seen.
Shuangyue was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "It's the second young lady."
"Jiang Mengyue?" Jiang Ning also looked in the direction and saw only the back of a woman walking in a hurry.
She couldn't recognize it, but Shuangyue said it was Jiang Mengyue, so it should be correct.
Shuangyue is vigilant about her surroundings and observes every detail. She can clearly distinguish who is following and who has malicious intentions. It is not difficult to identify a person.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but frown, "What is she doing out of the house?"
Now that Jiang Mengyue has been hit, this is not the time to go shopping leisurely.
......
Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Mengyue quietly walked in from the back door and took off her hat.
Hong Zhu, who was waiting behind the door, was anxious. When she saw the shadow of her young lady, she hurriedly greeted her, "Miss, you are finally back..."
When the young lady said she wanted to leave the house quietly, she was worried to death.
Fortunately, no one noticed.
Not long after Jiang Mengyue returned to the yard, the nanny next to the old lady came to send a message, saying that the old lady wanted to see her.
Jiang Mengyue went to Qingxin courtyard.
As soon as she stepped in, she heard a cold snort.
Lord Jiang looked at her with an unkind expression and snorted coldly, "Evil girl!"
He originally thought that this daughter was well-behaved and worry-free, but in the end, she did something shocking and dared to deceive them for so many years.
Jiang Mengyue's face turned pale, and she knelt on her knees, her whole body trembling, "Grandma, dad...it was Yue'er's fault. Yue'er shouldn't have lied and deceived you..."
"You still said that!" Lord Jiang was angry and slapped his hand on the table. Now the whole thing was spread in the house. The daughter he had spent so much effort to cultivate did such a shameless thing.
A line of tears fell down Jiang Mengyue's pale face, looking pitiful.
"It's all Yue'er's fault, please punish me."
Old Madam Jiang on the side turned the prayer beads in her hand, frowned, and said, "Okay. This is not a big deal. No matter whose blood it is, as long as it can save Lan'er."
"But..." Lord Jiang wanted to say something, but he was disappointed in his daughter.
Old Madam Jiang stopped her prayer beads and waved her hand, "The family scandal will not be publicized. I asked the servants to keep their mouths shut about this matter, so as not to ruin Yue'er's reputation."
Although Lord Jiang was angry, he still understood the importance.
"Yes." He responded.
The old lady looked at Jiang Mengyue with calm eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Mengyue's back felt goosebumps after being stared at, and her pitiful tears could no longer flow down. She subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes until her knuckles turned pale.
She knew her grandmother loved her.
But now she can’t guess what her grandmother is thinking. She has done something that disappoints everyone. Will her grandmother still love her as much as before?
After a long time, the old lady finally spoke, "Go back and reflect carefully, and don't cause any trouble."
When Jiang Mengyue heard this, she trembled, and then replied, "Yue'er knows."
What the old lady meant was that the matter would no longer be pursued and that she should stay peacefully in her yard. When the incident dies down, no one would mention it again.
The stone in Jiang Mengyue's heart fell.
Fortunately, her grandmother and father still values her.
Jiang Mengyue left.
In the hall, Lord Jiang frowned, "Mother, why do you spoil her so much?"
The old lady snorted coldly, "If you can't pamper her, who can you pamper? Soon, the Noble concubine will choose a concubine for the fourth prince..."
"Fourth Prince?" Lord Jiang was startled and looked up at the old lady. "Mother, could it be that she wanted to... But, Yue'er is not my biological bloodline. If this matter spreads..."
Lord Jiang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He never dared to think about this.
This is a serious crime to deceive the fourth prince!
The old lady glanced at Lord Jiang coldly, "How about letting your blood go? She was born in the countryside, and she doesn't know a single Chinese character. It would be shameful to take her out!"
Marquis Jiang was silent. His biological daughter was indeed not worthy of being shown in high society. On the other hand, he looked at Yue'er. She had been pampered since she was a child. She had a delicate appearance and was proficient in all kinds of arts such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also the companion of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
No matter how you look at it, it is thousands of times better than Jiang Ning.
If Yue'er could become the fourth imperial concubine...
The old lady turned the prayer beads, her eyes filled with vicissitudes of life, and said calmly, "You also know that the Marquis Mansion is getting worse day by day, and it will be destroyed sooner or later if it continues like this. If Yue'er can enter the eyes of the fourth prince, it will be a great deal for the Marquis Mansion.
Lord Jiang lowered his head and did not refute.
After a while, he whispered, "But...but will Yue'er impress the Fourth Prince?"
"Heh heh." The old lady sneered, "Don't forget, Yue'er is the princess's companion, and she often sees several princes."
Trouble flashed across Lord Jiang's face, and he finally made up his mind, "This son knows."
The old lady hummed lightly, "Yue'er's life experience must be kept secret and not revealed."
"Yes." Lord Jiang responded.
At the same time, Jiang Mengyue returned to her yard.
The servants brought in the dinner. The clear soup looked very bland with little water.
Jiang Mengyue took a look, stood up, and said, "Remove them all. I'm going to have dinner with my mother."
She wanted to admit her mistake to Madam Lin. Her mother had always been soft-hearted and would forgive her as long as she sincerely admitted her mistake.
Hong Zhu hesitated, glanced at the young lady's face, and said, "Miss... Madam is dining with the Third Young Master and... Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mengyue's face froze, and she clenched the handkerchief tightly, her knuckles turning pale.
Jiang Ning...Jiang Ning again!
"Heh heh."
Jiang Mengyue sneered, "Yes, their whole family is happy, how can they think of me."
She squeezed her hands tightly and trembled all over.
"Miss..." Hongzhu looked at her young lady's face.
Jiang Mengyue gritted her teeth so hard that her teeth were almost broken.
Jiang Ning, let’s see how long you can remain proud!
Heh heh, let’s wait a few days and see how much face you have left in the Marquis Mansion!
......
Jiang Ning brought roast duck and ate with her mother.
At this time, Jiang Minglan happened to go to Lin's yard, and shamelessly sat down, adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks to eat together.
Madam Lin felt relieved when she saw Jiang Minglan jumping around and looking good.
"Eat more. You have been sick for so many days. Look, your face has lost weight."
Jiang Minglan said, "Mom, don't worry, nothing will happen to me again."
As he said that, he glanced at Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning got the antidote from Divine Doctor Xue. After he took it, the hot feeling in his body disappeared and he felt strong.
It seems that pill actually works.
Jiang Ning didn't even look at Jiang Minglan and ate quietly.
