Chapter 82 I'll Brighten Your Day

Zhang Siyin couldn't help but say, "Second brother really has deep feelings for his sister-in-law."

"He didn't even tell me." Jiang Zhaoyue really knew nothing about it.

"Maybe he was too busy and didn't have time to tell you."

"Yes, he gets up early and goes to bed late every day."

"Jing Xiao is not in good health now and can't do anything. My third and fourth brothers are still unable to handle things. The entire Zhenguo Mansion depends on him and father." Pei Jingxiao felt guilty every time he thought of this, and Zhang Siyin was also sad.

Jiang Zhaoyue comforted her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, brother will be well soon."

Speaking of this, Zhang Siyin's eyes lit up: "He can already walk with crutches today."

Jiang Zhaoyue was surprised: "Such rapid progress?"

Zhang Siyin said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's just four steps."

Jiang Zhaoyue was very supportive: "Four steps is already very impressive."

Zhang Siyin nodded happily when she heard this: "I think so too. It's mainly because Jing Xiao really wants to walk."

"With this idea, you will definitely get better faster." Jiang Zhaoyue encouraged.

"That's right." Zhang Siyin said again: "Thank you, second sister-in-law, for scolding and waking us up. Only then can we look at everything we encounter with a broader perspective."

Jiang Zhaoyue deliberately said angrily: "You are here again."

Zhang Siyin hurriedly explained: "I'm telling the truth, after waking up, Jing Xiao has become a completely different person."

Jiang Zhaoyue was curious: "Why is it different?"

"I've become calmer, more mature, and more resilient. I've accepted my broken arm and that I can only walk from now on. But I won't give up my weapons easily. I hope that one day I can shoulder the burden of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and defend my country."

"Yes." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

"Is it really possible?" Zhang Siyin, who had been in the dark for a long time, urgently needed affirmation from others.

Jiang Zhaoyue was certain: "As long as you have the will, you can achieve your goal. My family and country will never despise anyone who has a will!"

Zhang Siyin's heart brightened instantly when he heard this, and he believed more and more in a bright future.

Jiang Zhaoyue chatted with Zhang Siyin for a while, then saw Pei Jingxiao pushing a wheelchair over.

She said hello and stopped disturbing them. She limped back to Linhua Courtyard, looked up at the sky, and knew that Pei Jingzhou would be back soon.

She sat down in the main seat of the house, drinking tea while waiting.

"Second Madam, the Third Miss brought the Second Miss Jiang to ask for a meeting." Baoxia came over to report.

"Is Pei Siyan bringing Jiang Wanxue?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.

"Yes." Baoxia responded.

Xiangqiao immediately became alert: "Second Madam, they definitely have bad intentions."

Jiang Zhaoyue pondered for a moment and said, "Let them in."

"Yes." Bao Xia went out.

Xiangqiao was worried: "Second Madam, why did you agree to see them?"

"You can hide on the first day, but you can't hide on the fifteenth day." Jiang Zhaoyue said.

Xiangqiao said nothing more.

Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue walked in slowly.

Pei Siyan was still dressed gorgeously as usual.

Jiang Wanxue rarely wore plain clothes. She put on some powder but no lip balm. With her eyes lowered, she looked a little haggard and pitiful.

"Second sister-in-law." Pei Siyan called.

Jiang Wanxue called out, "Elder sister."

Jiang Zhaoyue picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then said, "Call me Madam Xi."

Pei Siyan couldn't help but get angry when she saw her condescending attitude: "Second sister-in-law, we came to see you specially--"

Jiang Zhaoyue put down the tea bowl and asked, "Are you so kind?"

Pei Siyan said: "We——"

Jiang Zhaoyue retorted, "Some time ago, I slapped you twice. Don't you hold a grudge against me?"

After receiving two slaps, Pei Siyan still feels the burning sensation on her face.

Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Wanxue again: "And you, last time you and your mother brought some Yang thing into the Zhenguo Mansion, didn't your father punish you?"

Penalty!

Of course he was punished!

When her father returned to the Marquis of Chengning's Mansion, he was furious. Not only did he send away all of Liu Ma's family members, he also punished her and her mother to reflect on their actions behind closed doors.

Concubine Zheng and Concubine Wu in the mansion took the opportunity to win over their father's heart and took over some of the housekeeping power in the harem, which gave their mother a headache. Recently, there was also the matter of their brother... All this originated from Jiang Zhaoyue!

Now Jiang Zhaoyue kept calling him "your mother" and "your father" as if he was not from the Chengning Marquis Mansion. She wished she could stab Jiang Zhaoyue to death.

But she couldn't show it now, so she said weakly: "Eldest sister——"

"Call me Madam Xi." Jiang Zhaoyue interrupted her.

Jiang Wanxue endured it and said, "Madam Xi, although it was Madam Liu who hid the matter from the master last time, mother and I were ultimately responsible for not noticing it, so father punished us severely, and mother became seriously ill because of it."

"Is the Marquis' wife seriously ill?" Pei Siyan asked cooperatively.

Jiang Wanxue nodded and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue: "Madam Xi, we are a family after all. Mother is very haggard now, you should also care about her."

Pei Siyan continued: "Wanxue, you look haggard too."

Jiang Wanxue nodded: "Yes."

"Since you say we are a family, then don't be afraid. Even if you look haggard, I will be bright for you." Jiang Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, bright and charming.

Pei Siyan hated Jiang Zhaoyue's seductive look.

What a mess this is!

Jiang Wanxue had wanted to continue with what she had said, but Jiang Zhaoyue's reply was so confusing that she could only say stiffly, "But if you continue to be haggard for a long time, it will be bad for your health."

"That's your business." Jiang Zhaoyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Anyway, I'm bright and healthy."

Jiang Wanxue nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, but she had no choice but to continue holding it in. "But Father and Mother are Madam Xi's father and mother after all... Madam Xi must have heard that my eldest brother's drunken gaffe has plunged the entire Chengning Marquisate into rumors and gossip. Father and Mother are not only haggard, but also ill. I really can't do anything about it. I hope that Madam Xi will return to the residence to take a look and comfort them."

"Are you out of your mind?" Jiang Zhaoyue said bluntly.

Jiang Wanxue was stunned.

"When your elder brother spoke gaffes after drinking, you should let him sober up and speak. When your father and mother are sick, you should find a doctor!" Jiang Zhaoyue looked straight at Jiang Wanxue: "Why do you want me to come back to the mansion? Am I Guanyin Bodhisattva or the Tathagata Buddha from the West, who can save all living beings as soon as I come down to earth?"

Xiangqiao, Baoxia and Nanny Sun all tried to suppress their laughter when they heard this.

Pei Siyan said unhappily: "Second sister-in-law——"

Jiang Zhaoyue emphasized: "Madam Xi!"

Pei Siyan insisted: "Second sister-in-law——"

Jiang Zhaoyue said in a deep voice: "Your face is itchy again, isn't it?"

Pei Siyan inexplicably felt the coldness of her second brother, and her heart sank. She changed her words abruptly: "Madam Xi, Wanxue is your sister after all. She just wants you to return home to fulfill your filial duties. Why do you have to speak so harshly?"

Jiang Zhaoyue curled her lips slightly: "You speak nicely, just tell her, why bother to come to me like this and not be happy?"

Pei Siyan was suddenly speechless.

"Siyan, forget it!" Jiang Wanxue suddenly burst into tears and said pitifully, "Since Madam Xi is unwilling to help, then I... will go back."

"Wanxue!" Pei Siyan was unwilling.

"Madam Xi, goodbye." Jiang Wanxue turned and left.

"Wanxue." Pei Siyan immediately chased after her.

Xiang Qiao was amused: "After all this commotion, nothing good has happened. I don't know what they are doing here."

"They're coming..." Jiang Zhaoyue was about to say something when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She suddenly stood up and said, "Oh no!"

"Second Madam, what's wrong?" Xiangqiao was shocked.

"They have another trick up their sleeve!" Jiang Zhaoyue strode out.
