ARDA - Chapter 121 - Make a marriage arrangement

 Jiang Mengyue looked at Jiang Ning at the door for a while, then slowly closed her eyes and lay back.

Lord Jiang snorted angrily several times, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked the doctor, "How is she?"

The doctor wiped his sweat. He didn't dare to interfere in the affairs of the deep house. He glanced at the red mark on the neck of the woman on the bed and quickly looked away, not daring to look further.

He replied, "There is no fear for her life. She only needs to rest for a few days and she will recover."

"Thank you, doctor."

Lord Jiang glanced at the housekeeper. Butler Jiang had been working as an errand boy in the Marquis Mansion for more than ten years. If he didn't even see this, he wouldn't need to be a housekeeper.

He immediately asked the doctor to go out, paid the consultation fee, and ordered that not a word of what happened today should be revealed.

Inside the house.

Lord Jiang glanced at Jiang Mengyue, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

When he was about to walk out, he said, "Since there is nothing to do, let's set off tomorrow and go to the Villa to take good care of yourself."

Lord Jiang was determined to send Jiang Mengyue away, and no matter what methods she tried, she would not change her mind.

Leaving her in the Marquis Mansion will only be a disaster.

When Hongzhu heard that the master was about to send the Second Miss away, she collapsed on the ground and began to cry.

Jiang Mengyue was lying on the bed, her face expressionless, as if she hadn't heard Lord Jiang's words at all. She was calm and lifeless like a wooden puppet with its strings cut off.

Jiang Ning also turned around calmly. After watching the show, she walked away.

The eyes of the person on the bed moved, staring at Jiang Ning's leaving figure.

The next day.

Jiang Ning was in the room reading medical books as usual, studying silver needles and acupuncture points.

Chunlan knocked on the door and came in and said, "The Second Miss has been sent away."

Jiang Ning raised her eyes, "She just left so obediently?" Yesterday, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. She thought she would try her best to stay in the Marquis Mansion, but she didn't expect to leave without saying a word. 

This is not like Jiang Mengyue's temperament.

But it doesn't matter anymore, she will never be involved again in the future. In her previous life, Jiang Mengyue caused her to betray her relatives and die tragically. In this life, not taking her life was already the greatest mercy.

"Yes, the Second Miss got on the carriage and left obediently. She didn't cry at all. She should have known that no matter how much trouble she made, it was useless. The master was determined to send her away." Chunlan said happily. 

It's a great thing that the Second Miss is sent away!

The Second Miss looked weak, but she didn't expect that she would do something like buying a murderer. It was really scary. Speaking of which, the servants in the second young lady's yard were all trembling and waiting carefully. It seemed that she was not easy to take care of. 

The carriage drove away from the back door of the Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Mengyue was sitting in the carriage, her face pale, her fists clenched so hard that she couldn't feel her nails digging into her palms.

She raised her face and looked at the Marquis Mansion, her eyes were gloomy and cold.

The palm of her hand was pinched to pieces, but the pain was nothing compared to the shame and reluctance of being abandoned.

"Jiang Ning, the Marquis Mansion... one day I will repay you all that I have received!"

"Jiang Ning, I want you to kneel at my feet, worse than a dog..." She murmured in a sinister and cold voice.

Hongzhu, who was also sitting in the carriage, trembled with fright when she saw her young lady's pale and gloomy face. She had never seen such a look on the second young lady's face.

Moreover, the aura of the young lady seems to be different, as if she has become a different person since yesterday.

Jiang Mengyue took out a handkerchief and wrapped the injury on her hand, "How many days' journey is it to the Villa?"

"...Replying to Miss, we'll be there in four or five days." Hong Zhu replied tremblingly.

The carriage left the city and was on its way.

Jiang Mengyue remained silent, opened the carriage curtain and looked outside.

They don't know how long it took, but after driving through the endless official road, they could see an inn in the distance, which was used for passers-by to rest.

Jiang Mengyue suddenly remembered something, a light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled coldly.

"Stop, let's rest at the inn today, I'm a little tired."

Hongzhu said yes and informed the driver.

The nanny who was escorting the second lady to the Villa heard this and snorted sarcastically, "You still think of yourself as a rich lady. How long have you been traveling and you need to rest?"

The sarcastic voice of the ruthless nanny was carried into the carriage without any concealment.

Jiang Mengyue heard it clearly and clenched her fists.

The servants also follow the wind. When she was the favored second young lady, they all came up to flatter her, trying to please her.

Now that she made a mistake and was sent to the Villa, she was no longer a favored young lady.

The servants were too lazy to please anymore. There was no benefit in trying to please an abandoned young lady. People who had been angry with Jiang Mengyue in the past became very angry.

Jiang Mengyue clenched her fists tightly, with anger flashing across her face.

Finally, she took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and signaled Hongzhu to do it.

Hongzhu opened the carriage curtain, stuffed the jade bracelet into the hand of the nanny, and whispered, "Nanny, please do it for me. My young lady has never endured hardship. After riding in the carriage for a day, her body and bones are sore." 

"If the second lady is seriously ill and the news reaches Madam, we won't be able to get any favors."

Hongzhu said softly, and Nanny thought for a moment. It was indeed true. Although the second young lady was driven to the village, at least she had the reputation of the second young lady. If something happened on the way, they might be blamed. 

The nanny took a look at the high-quality jade bracelet and felt much better. She nodded, "Okay, let's go to the inn to rest."

The carriage stopped in front of the inn.

Jiang Mengyue slowly stepped out of the carriage and glanced at the fine horses in the stables, her eyes flashing with light.

.........

Marquis Mansion.

After sending Jiang Mengyue away, the Marquis Mansion returned to peace.

Lord Jiang frowned and his face was gloomy. He had not been in a good mood these past two days.

The old lady closed her eyes and turned her prayer beads.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "Okay, don't think about that rebellious girl again. If she's not of bloodline she can't be shown anyway. If you raise Ning'er well, she will naturally be able to help the Marquis family. It's time to bring her marriage to the Lu family out in the open."

The old lady never gave up the idea of ​​getting engaged to the Lu family.

Jiang Ning was brought back from the countryside, and she was blessed to be engaged to the Lu family. After marrying, she could also help the Marquis family.

As for the matter of Master Lu's destiny of killing his wife, it was just a rumor in the capital, there was nothing to fear about it.

The old lady made up her mind and expressed her attitude to the Lu family.

Of course, Mrs. Lu is happy and wants to settle the marriage immediately, but before that, they have to unite their birth characters first. The Lu family has defeated three wives, so they still have a grudge in their hearts.

Take a look at the horoscopes first. If there is no conflict, then make a marriage arrangement.

The date is set for three days later, they will go to Qingyun Temple to see Master Huizhi for a face reading and fortune telling.
