Zhu Xianyue held Jiang Yunqing's rough hand with her soft hand and said, "Brother Yunqing, Yue'er is of low status and cannot compare to Sister Guidi. Yue'er is willing to be a concubine..."

"Yue'er, I can't bear to leave."

During the stalemate, they had already arrived at the general's mansion.

…

General's Mansion.

"The general is back! Madam, old madam, the general's sedan chair has arrived at the gate of the mansion!"

Mu Guidi helped Madam Jiang out to greet them.

Because her husband died in battle, Mu Guidi hasn't worn bright colors for a long time.

Today she had deliberately put on some powder and rouge at the corners of her eyes. Although she didn't look particularly good, at least she didn't let Jiang Yunqing think she was too plain and ruin his mood...

But no one expected that Jiang Yunqing was followed by a woman of stunning beauty.

"Mother... Guidi, I'm back."

Jiang Yunqing knelt down and saluted towards Old Madam Jiang.

Mu Guidi automatically stepped aside, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and also stole a glance at Zhu Xianyue.

She was finally enlightened today that there were such delicate and pretty people in this world.

Compared to her, I seem like an ugly imitator.

Mu Guiyi clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She told herself that she was the legitimate daughter of Master Mu and the mistress of the Jiang family, and she must not feel jealous.

This girl has served Jiang Yunqing meritorious service and should be taken as a concubine.

Old Madam Jiang became ill due to the depression caused by Jiang Yunqing. Her legs and feet were not straight and she almost fell down.

She only had one son, Jiang Yunqing, and when she learned of Jiang Yunqing's death, she almost followed him.

Thanks to Gui Di being by her side, Mrs. Jiang gave up the idea.

Old Jiang passed away early, and she and Mu Guidi, two women, supported the Jiang family despite being criticized. Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared, and they waited for Jiang Yunqing.

Seeing the woman behind Jiang Yunqing, Old Lady Jiang's heart skipped a beat and she immediately became displeased.

...Being too beautiful is a disaster and will not benefit the family.

"Yunqing, who is she?" Old Madam Jiang asked.

His tone was very unhappy, and it was obvious that he didn't take Zhu Xianyue seriously.

Jiang Yunqing quickly said, "This girl's name is Zhu Xianyue. She's my son's savior. I... like her very much."

In front of everyone in the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yunqing directly announced his feelings for Zhu Xianyue, which shows how much he values ​​Zhu Xianyue.

"Oh? So, Zhu Xianyue is yours?"

“…Not yet.”

That means Zhu Xianyue is still innocent.

Madam Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since she is your savior, she is also the benefactor of the General's Mansion. I will take the initiative to adopt her as my adopted daughter. Does Yunqing have any objection?"

“……!”

Adopted daughter!

From now on, she will be his adopted sister!

He obviously likes Zhu Xianyue and wants to marry her, so how could he bear to let Zhu Xianyue be his sister?

"This... Mother..."

"Ouch, my head hurts!" Old Madam Jiang held her forehead and after a while, she vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Mother!" Jiang Yunqing hurriedly carried his mother into the room.

Mu Guiyi ordered someone to call the imperial physician, and gave Madam Jiang some quick-acting heart pills to take first, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Before he knew it, Zhu Xianyue was left behind.

Jiang Yunqing was concerned about Old Madam Jiang and did not dare to get close to Zhu Xianyue in front of her.

Filial piety is Jiang Yunqing's bottom line.

However, Mu Guiyi remembered Zhu Xianyue, arranged for her to rest, and even used his small kitchen to cook for Zhu Xianyue.

At this point, Zhu Xianyue had already given up on Jiang Yunqing.
