After walking out of the Qingxin Tea House, Jiang Ning went to the house of Divine Physician Xue, got a few medical books, and then returned to the Marquis Mansion.
Back at the Marquis' Mansion, she was ready to visit her mother first.
On the way, she will need to pass by the Reception Pavilion.
Halfway through the way, she looked around and saw a familiar maid sneaking outside Reception Hall. The maid walked lightly, walked to the door, and pressed her face against it.
"Chunlan?"
After identifying who it was, Jiang Ning shook her head, what was this girl doing sneakily.
Chunlan shuddered all over, thinking she had been caught doing something wrong. She turned her face and saw that it was her own lady, so she felt relieved.
She hastily gestured to be quiet, waving her hand to signal the young lady to come over.
Jiang Ning walked over.
When she got closer, she heard the conversation in the reception hall, it was Lord Jiang and the old lady.
Jiang Ning glanced at Chunlan and found that this girl was eavesdropping, and her eyes asked where she learned the bad habit of eavesdropping.
Chunlan blinked playfully.
Of course she learned from Shuangyue!
Shuangyue often lay on the rooftop and eavesdrop, and she saw it. Although she couldn't fly up and down like Shuangyue, she could still crouch quietly outside the window and listen.
The voices of Lord Jiang and the old lady were heard from the Reception hall.
Lord Jiang's expression was solemn, "Mother, should we bring Yue'er back... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants her, so he must have thoughts. If she really becomes the Crown prince's side concubine..."
If they can gain a foothold and get close to the Crown prince, the Marquis's mansion will have a limitless future.
Lord Jiang thought about it for a few days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt regretful. If he had known that the Crown Prince had feelings towards Yue'er, he would have never sent her away no matter what.
The old lady turned the Buddhist beads and didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long time, he said slowly, "The Marquis' Mansion is her home, where can she go? Even if she becomes the Crown Prince's Concubine, she still needs support from her family. If she doesn't come back, who will support her?"
The meaning of this sentence is to bring Mengyue back.
Lord Jiang suddenly realized, yes, where could Jiang Mengyue go if not to the Marquis Mansion, if not will she possibly go back to the countryside?
"Mother is right, I'll pick a day to bring her back!"
Outside the door, Chunlan was so anxious with what she heard.
If the second young lady comes back, what should her young lady do?
Jiang Ning's expression was calm and devoid of any waves. Even upon hearing Lord Jiang and the old lady say that they will bring Jiang Mengyue back, her heart remained tranquil.
She had already seen through the nature of Lord Jiang and the old lady, so she has no expectations.
But their calculations are wrong.
Jiang Mengyue looked down on the position of the Crown Prince's Side Concubine, otherwise she would not have tried to associate herself with the Fourth Prince.
The position of a Side Concubine, to put it bluntly, is that of a mistress, who still has to look at the mood of the main wife.
How could a person as proud as Jiang Mengyue be willing to just be a Side Concubine?
Her purpose should be to become the Fourth Imperial Princess like in her previous life.
Jiang Ning sneered.
In a panic, Chunlan bumped her head against the door frame, making a sound.
"Who!" Lord Jiang shouted coldly and looked out the door.
Chunlan's face turned pale, no, she was discovered, she was going to cause trouble for the young lady...
At this time, Jiang Ning wrapped one arm around Chunlan's waist and used her Qinggong to nimbly jump onto the rooftop.
Lord Jiang stormed out in anger to see who was daring to eavesdrop his conversation. After walking out, he found that there was no one outside, not even a soul.
Lord Jiang was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he heard it wrong, was the wind blowing the door?
"Who is it?" the old lady asked.
Lord Jiang returned to the Reception hall and shook his head, "I heard it wrong."
On the rooftop, Chunlan was shocked and her eyes widened. She really thought she was going to be discovered by the master when suddenly she flew up.
The lady actually has the ability to fly to the sky and escape!
Jiang Ning gently landed on the ground with Chunlan, knocked on her head, and said, "You are not allowed to do this again in the future!"
Chunlan felt guilty and lowered her head deeply, "I know I'm wrong, and I will never do this again..." She almost got the young lady in trouble.
"Its good to know your mistakes."
Jiang Ning didn't blame her. She knew that Chunlan did this because she was worried about her.
Her heart moved, as if a warm current flowed through it. Besides her mother, there are still others who cared about her so deeply.
Jiang Ning stuffed the medical books into Chunlan's hand and said, "You go back first, I'll go visit my mother for a while."
"Yes." Chunlan responded.
Jiang Ning went to Madam Lin's yard and ran into Jiang Minglan. He was also about to see their mother.
The two went together.
While walking, Jiang Minglan looked at the woman on her side and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
His sister has always been indifferent towards him.
It must be the messy things he did before, which made his sister feel sad and disappointed at him.
When Jiang Ning returned home, he was confused and said something out of line and thing he shouldn't have.
Jiang Minglan looked at Jiang Ning's face and looked for a topic. "A few days ago, father went to pick up Jiang Mengyue. I really don't know why he would take back woman..."
After saying that, he regretted it. He mentioned the woman in this way. Isn't he adding to his sister's troubles?
Jiang Ning's expression is calm and there was no change at all, and she responded a faint 'mm' sound.
When Jiang Minglan saw that Jiang Ning didn't react much, He felt relieved and said, "That woman was obviously sent to the countryside, how did she return to the capital? The countryside is far away from the capital, so she shouldn't be able to come back alone."
As he said this, he suddenly remembered something, "Wait! that means, the person I saw that day was really Jiang Mengyue?"
Jiang Ning raised her face, "Where did you see her?"
"It was in the Flower Garden that I saw a woman wearing a veil, she resembled Jiang Mengyue..." Jiang Minglan's words came to an abrupt end. How could he tell this?
"Flower Garden?" Jiang Ning knew that this place was a local area. She heard that the Crown Prince came and went here. It was not accidental that Jiang Mengyue appeared in Flower Garden. She went there to cling to the Crown Prince.
Jiang Mengyue's tactics are consistent, making chance encounters and then forming connections.
It's just that the matter at Qingxin Tea House, is something that did not go according to her wishes.
Jiang Minglan's face was red and he immediately explained, "I...I don't... They took me there, it is not that I want to go..."
Jiang Ning had long been in deep thought and had not heard the explanation of Jiang Minglan.
She smiled lightly when she remembered the scene of Jiang Mengyue being thrown out by the fourth prince.
When Jiang Minglan saw Jiang Ning's smile, felt a chill run down his spine, he felt very regretful and wanted to bite off his tongue. By saying this, won't it make his sister misunderstand? He really didn't want to go to the Flower Garden. He was dragged there by his friend!
"Sister, please listen to my explaination..."
Jiang Ning came to her senses, they had already arrived to Madam Lin's courtyard and said, "We are here."
Jiang Ning stepped into the couryard.
Jiang Minglan, who wanted to explain but couldn't say it out loud. He regretted it so much that his insides felt like they were turning green.
