Chapter 64: For an adopted daughter, the entire Jiang family is sacrificed

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I have nothing to do today, let me go buy medicine with you."

She smiled lovingly.

But in Jiang Qingyue's opinion, she looked really ugly.

When they arrived at the pharmacy, Jiang Qingyue bought a few herbs at random. When she was about to pay, Mrs. Jiang rushed to pay.

Jiang Qingyue silently curled her lips and lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in them.

Since Mrs. Jiang was willing to please her and pay her, she would not be polite.

She went to several pharmacies and bought a lot of medicinal herbs, all of which were paid for by Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Qingyue was curious about how long Mrs. Jiang could endure.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked out of the pharmacy, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help it.

"Qingyue, we've almost finished shopping, right? Let's hurry to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion now, so as not to keep your aunt waiting for too long."

"good."

Jiang Qingyue asked Que'er to send these things back to Yuehuaxuan first, and then turned around to go to Xuanping Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Jiang's expression changed slightly.

"Aren't these bought for your aunt?"

Jiang Qingyue calmly shook her head, "The Xuanping Marquis' Mansion has everything. These are just some common herbs that I need for my own use."

Mrs. Jiang's face turned grim. "Why didn't you say it at the beginning?"

"Madam, do you mean that if it's not from the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, you won't pay for it?"

Jiang Qingyue took out her purse and was about to take out some money.

"How much did you spend just now? I'll return it to Madam."

The two of them stood at the door of the pharmacy, and so many people came and went, all looking over here.

Mrs. Jiang was so embarrassed that she could only stop her from taking out the money.

"Qingyue, what nonsense are you talking about? I just don't want to make your aunt wait anxiously."

Jiang Qingyue seemed to have just remembered this, nodded, put away her purse, and left.

When they arrived at the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, Yin Yao was already waiting at the door.

"The third young lady is here, the old lady is waiting for you inside."

Yin Yao went to meet him, and after she finished speaking, she said in surprise, as if she had seen Madam Jiang, "Madam Jiang, you are here too."

Madam Jiang nodded sullenly, "Come here and see the old lady."

"Come in."

Yin Yao led the way in front, talking to Jiang Qingyue in a familiar manner.

Mrs. Jiang frowned and her smile was a little forced.

The maids were even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Qingyue than towards her.

Mrs. Jiang suppressed her displeasure. The Xuanping Marquis's Mansion liked Jiang Qingyue so much. If she asked the doctor for money when the time came, maybe things would go much more smoothly.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang felt much more comfortable.

In the main hall, He Peilan heard the maid say that Jiang Qingyue had arrived, and she was about to stand up with a look of joy on her face.

Jin Yao leaned closer and whispered, "Mrs. Jiang is here too."

Humph, it’s the third young lady’s biased mother.

He treats his enemy's daughter like a treasure, while his own daughter is treated like a guinea pig.

He Peilan frowned and sat back down after standing up.

A group of people came in and saluted.

He Peilan deliberately looked behind Madam Jiang. Not seeing that annoying adopted daughter, she smiled with relief. "Go ahead, don't be shy."

Then, he waved to Jiang Qingyue and said, "Come here, come to me. I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you lost some weight?"

He Peilan liked Jiang Qingyue very much, and thinking that she could cure Shuyan's muteness, she was even happier with her.

Jiang Qingyue touched her face and said, "Old Madam, don't lie to me. My maid, Que'er, even said that I have gained weight."

She has been eating and drinking well these days, in a good mood, and has obviously gained a few pounds.

Because the old lady was so kind, Jiang Qingyue became more lively when facing her.

He Peilan was a little dazed. When did Qingyue become so close to the Marquis's wife?

He Peilan patted Jiang Qingyue's hand, then suddenly said, "Look, Qingyue looks so much like you when you were young."

After He Peilan said this, Jiang Qingyue's smile suddenly subsided.

Mrs. Jiang saw this and felt complicated.

Her biological daughter can be so close to an outsider, but she is so distant from her biological mother.

Why on earth is that?

Mrs. Jiang blinked awkwardly, then said, "Qingyue, didn't you bring the medicine? Give it to your aunt quickly."

"Madam didn't see it just now. The third young lady gave the medicine to our old lady as soon as she came in."

Yin Yao reminded her, and only then did Mrs. Jiang see the medicine box placed next to He Peilan.

She looked a little unhappy and could only try to smooth things over herself.

"I was just busy reminiscing with your old lady and didn't notice this."

Yin Yao didn't expose the truth. When she entered the room, only Jiang Qingyue and the old lady were reminiscing about the past. There was no mention of her, Mrs. Jiang.

"Then, then quickly check your aunt's pulse."

Jin Yao chuckled, "Madam Jiang, every time the Third Miss comes back, she always takes our old lady's pulse first. Didn't Madam notice that just now?"

Madam Jiang covered her mouth and coughed twice, "I really didn't pay attention."

"Are you worried about your adopted daughter?"

He Peilan's voice became a little colder, and her initial politeness disappeared.

"I heard that your adopted daughter is very precious. She's been tossing around many doctors inside and outside the palace, and she's still not well. I heard what happened? Poisoning?"

Mrs. Jiang subconsciously looked at Jiang Qingyue. How did the Marquis know?

Did Jiang Qingyue complain to Madam Hou?

How could this child be like this!

"Why are you looking at Qingyue? Do you think she told me this?"

He Peilan's expression turned cold.

"This matter has already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yanjing City. Is there any need for her to say it?"

Mrs. Jiang was startled. "What do you mean?"

He Peilan sneered, "For an adopted daughter, you and Jiang Shouye were so anxious that you wanted to get all the doctors in Yanjing City to help you in the middle of the night, and finally invited the imperial physician?

They say it's poisoning, but so many doctors can't find the cause."

"I heard that during the morning court session today, Jiang Shouye actually dozed off right under the emperor's nose and was even kept back for a lecture. He hasn't even gone home yet, has he?"

Mrs. Jiang's face changed drastically.

Jiang Guiyu fainted from the pain several times. The couple, as well as Jiang Mingyang, stayed by her side all night long, leaving them as parents no time to rest.

This morning when she was watching Jiang Qingyue leave the house, Jiang Shouye had indeed not returned yet.

"You, the Jiang family, have brought shame upon yourself to the court."

Just as he finished speaking, Xie Lingyun came in from outside, wearing a cloak and looking majestic, with the equally cold Cang Yi following behind him.

Jiang Qingyue stood up, bowed politely, and with a twinkle in her eyes, she called softly, "Hello, cousin."

cousin……

Xie Lingyun glanced at it, his eyes fell on Jiang Qingyue, then looked at the medicine box on the table, rubbed it a few times with his rough fingers, and the ice in his eyes loosened, revealing a bit of satisfaction.

Okay, for the sake of the medicine, I'll tolerate her taking advantage of me.

Mrs. Jiang stood up hurriedly and asked Xie Lingyun about what was happening in the court.

Xie Lingyun sat down leisurely and said in a deep voice, "Master Jiang, you are talking about this. He is still being punished to kneel in front of the palace."

Mrs. Jiang swayed and almost fainted.
