Chapter 48 Madam is partial to the second daughter

The next day, Jiang Qingyue had just finished washing up when Que'er trotted into the room.

“Miss, the Third Young Master is really a biting dog, why don’t you just bark.”

Que'er was angry and told the news she had just heard.

I heard that the lady gave Jiang Guiyu five shops and has taken her out to see them.

Jiang Qingyue looked up, a little surprised.

Jiang Shouye had just reprimanded Mrs. Jiang, so she shouldn't have done this so blatantly.

But on second thought, she seemed to understand.

"Miss, why aren't you in a hurry?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled instead.

"So what should I do?"

"You should report this to the master and let him make the decision for you. You are the mistress's biological daughter, so why do all the good things go to the second young lady? She's just an adopted..."

"Sparrow, you're so talkative."

This girl is becoming more and more unruly.

Que'er held it in for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Miss, this servant is doing you a disservice. The eldest lady just gave you the shop, and now Madam has also given the shop to the second lady. Isn't this deliberately slapping you in the face and embarrassing you?"

"Last time you brought the leftovers, but this time there's nothing left. If you keep coming like this, no one in the mansion will respect you as their master anymore."

"Miss Second Miss can have everything just by shedding two tears. Why?"

After hearing this, Jiang Qingyue just shook her head.

"Did you see with your own eyes that Madam Jiang gave Jiang Guiyu the shop?"

Que'er shook her head. "That's not the case, but that's what Mao Yuan, who is beside the Third Young Master, said."

Seeing Jiang Qingyue's lips curled up, Que'er continued to explain: "But I saw with my own eyes that Madam and the Second Young Miss went out together, saying they were going to a shop."

Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Qingyue tapped her lightly on the forehead.

"It's all based on rumors. Madam Jiang isn't that stupid. She wouldn't give the shop to Jiang Guiyu so blatantly."

Que'er didn't believe it at all.

"But Madam is partial to the Second Miss. Even if she doesn't do it openly, she has given her a lot of things behind the scenes."

"That's a matter between mother and daughter, we outsiders have no right to interfere."

Jiang Qingyue never cared about these things.

"You should think carefully about why Jiang Mingyang's people deliberately told you this."

Que'er was stunned for a moment before she realized something was wrong.

"Master Mingyang thought the young lady was causing trouble in Liuxiang Pavilion, so he got the shop. He deliberately had Maoyuan tell this to me, just to get the young lady to go and cause trouble in front of Madam as well?"

"If the mother and daughter become estranged by then, then the Second Young Miss will have gotten away with it for nothing?"

This girl is not stupid.

Only then did Que'er realize how reckless she had been.

"But Miss, are we going to let the Third Young Master bully us like this?"

"How can you call this bullying?" Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly, her eyes very calm. "I don't have any possessive desire for other people's money. I have never considered Madam Jiang's things to be mine. It doesn't matter to me who she gives them to or how much she gives them."

The bird lowered its head.

I feel a little jealous for the young lady. How can it be irrelevant?

I'm afraid the young lady must be feeling very uncomfortable too.

The lady raised her enemy's daughter like a princess, giving her the best food and everything she needed. Now she even gave away her shop.

What does Miss Qingyue, her biological daughter, have?

Even buying a hairpin would result in his wife scolding and questioning him.

…………

Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

He Peilan slept until dawn that night and felt refreshed when she woke up in the morning.

After Marquis Xuanping learned about it, he came to her room and stayed for quite a while.

After he left, Xie Lingyun came over.

"You came at an unfortunate time. Your father just left."

Xie Lingyun snorted coldly, and when he turned to talk to He Peilan, the cold and gloomy look on his face disappeared completely, leaving only concern for his mother.

"What does mother think?"

Before He Peilan could speak, Jingyao started chattering and rushed to answer.

"The old lady slept until dawn and even had two extra pieces of peach blossom cakes this morning."

Yin Yao also said, "Last night, this servant waited by the bedside. The old lady didn't even cough once and slept very soundly."

He Peilan laughed and scolded: "You have already said everything, what else do you want me to say?"

Seeing that she was indeed in good spirits, Xie Lingyun nodded, his brows relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems Jiang Qingyue is indeed quite capable. I'll ask someone to invite her over to see my mother again."

He paused and said, "By the way, let Shuyan see it too."

After he finished speaking, Xie Lingyun's smile disappeared, and his expression was filled with gloom, with a hint of murderous aura that could not be concealed.

When mentioning her daughter, He Peilan frowned and sighed again.

The person was brought back, but He Peilan, as her mother, only saw her daughter once on the first day she returned home. After that, she locked herself in the room all day and could not be coaxed out.

"Let's go to the Jiang family to ask for help first. I'll go check on Shuyan later."

Xie Lingyun's eyes darkened, and he suddenly said, "Mother, there is no need to go to Shuyan's place. I have my own arrangements."

When the people from the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion arrived, they happened to meet Jiang Shouye returning home from court.

Hearing that someone was here to pick up Jiang Qingyue to go to the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Shouye asked someone to wait in the front hall. He was about to ask someone to call Jiang Qingyue over.

But remembering what happened at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion the day before yesterday, Jiang Shouye went to Yuehuaxuan in person.

Jiang Qingyue dressed simply today, with nothing else on except the bracelet on her wrist that she couldn't take off.

Jiang Shouye's face was gloomy. "How do you, a servant, serve your master?"

Que'er ran over in a panic and opened all the boxes on the table, but unexpectedly, he opened several boxes that were all filled with medicinal herbs.

As if she was afraid of being scolded, Que'er became even more flustered and accidentally dropped the brocade box she brought from Liuxiang Pavilion yesterday on the ground.

The deeds fell out and scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Shouye picked it up and his face changed. "Why is this deed here with you?"

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Que'er and sighed slightly in her heart. This girl was still speaking up for herself.

Jiang Qingyue stood up and said, "These are the shops that my mother asked my elder sister to give me yesterday."

Jiang Shouye frowned and looked at the thing in his hand again.

"Did your mother give this to you?"

Jiang Qingyue nodded innocently, "Yes, Maoyuan, who was with Mingyang yesterday, said that Madam gave the second young lady a few shops and took them out to look at the shops this afternoon."

"Later, when I went to deliver medicine to my elder sister, she gave me the deeds to these shops. I thought my mother was still angry and it was not easy for her to bow down to a junior like me, so she asked her elder sister to give them to me. After all, it was impossible for her to give me her own private property."

"Madam is so generous. She gave the shop to the Second Young Miss, so naturally I won't be short of supplies." Jiang Qingyue said carefully, then looked up again, puzzled, "Father, what's wrong with these things? Didn't Mother prepare them?"

The location of the shop was clearly shown on the title deed, and Jiang Shouye knew at a glance that this was not Mrs. Jiang's shop at all.

After being married for many years, Jiang Shouye knew best that Mrs. Jiang was partial to Jiang Guiyu.

But she could have given the shop to Jiang Guiyu secretly, why did she have to make it known to everyone?

In order to balance the two younger sisters, Jiang Wanyin had to give her own private property to Jiang Qingyue. How shameful!

Jiang Shouye's face looked extremely ugly, but he still suppressed his anger and put the deeds back on the table.

"Nothing, I just came to tell you that someone from the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion has arrived and is waiting for you outside the door. Hurry up and pack up and go over there. Don't keep your aunt waiting for too long."

After Jiang Shouye left with a cold face, Jiang Qingyue told Que'er to take two simple pieces of jewelry and put them on.

Que'er was a little worried, "Miss, did I do something wrong? If the Third Young Master knows this, will he come to trouble you?"
