Chapter 512: Maybe He’s Jealous of My Beauty
"That's a good thing. It will also let those blind people see that our young lady is not meant to be a concubine!" Donggui said gritting her teeth. She and Luokui often went out together to buy things for the eldest young lady.
When those people outside talked about Xiao Jiuyue's marriage, they all said that as a woman who had divorced, she could only be a concubine. When Dong Gui heard that, she really wanted to join them in a fight.
But Xiao Jiuyue, the protagonist, was the calmest. She said, "Everyone has a mouth. Let others say whatever they want. If you want to argue, then aren't you living your whole life for others?"
Xiao Jiuyue's calmness made Donggui and the others vent their anger for her secretly, and they dared not mention the marriage in front of her again.
Now, if Xiao Jiuyue really becomes the prince's consort, her status will rise sharply!
"Of course. We'll see what they have to say in the future. Then, just envy and be jealous of the young lady!" Lianxin felt that her young lady deserved the best.
"Of course." Dong Gui looked proud and couldn't wait to see the day when her eldest daughter put on her wedding dress and married the master. The master and the eldest daughter would be like the golden boy and jade girl under the Bodhisattva's throne. The child they would give birth to would surely be the most beautiful in all of South Vietnam, right?
Well, if it’s a young master, he must be the most handsome man, and if it’s a young lady, she must be the most beautiful fairy in the world.
In the carriage, Xiao Jiuyue, who was catching up on her sleep, had no idea what the two maids were thinking. If she knew what they were thinking, she would probably... agree!
"Miss, isn't that Miss Xiao's carriage? Did Mr. Jiang II send something to Miss Xiao's maid?"
As the maidservant beside Du Ting helped Du Ting onto the carriage, she saw the scene of the Second Young Master Jiang delivering something to the maidservant beside Xiao Jiuyue.
"You, go and see what the delivery is." Du Ting pursed her lips, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be tangled together. She stared at Xiao Jiuyue's carriage. She was indeed connected with the Second Young Master Jiang.
Du Ting's jealous eyes looked so jealous that she wanted to stare a hole in Xiao Jiuyue's carriage. Even after Xiao Jiuyue's carriage left, Du Ting couldn't retract the jealousy in her eyes. She turned her gaze and saw the Second Young Master Jiang looking at Xiao Jiuyue's carriage leaving in the breeze and bright moon. Du Ting pinched her fingers into her palms.
How could a woman whose engagement had been broken off win the favor of Mr. Jiang Er?
…
"Did Du Ting take the wrong medicine? Looking at the look in the young lady's eyes, he seems to want to eat her up." Dong Gui was responsible for Xiao Jiuyue's safety, so when he heard the secret guard report that Du Ting's eyes were fierce, Dong Gui was stunned.
"Maybe she's jealous that I'm prettier than her?" Xiao Jiuyue said narcissistically. She lifted her long hair that was draped behind her. She and Du Ting didn't have any deep hatred.
"Yes." Dong Gui agreed, looking at Xiao Jiuyue's beautiful face. Even though she was with Xiao Jiuyue every day, she would often be amazed by her beauty.
"Pay close attention to her movements." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him, "There will definitely be something exciting when we go to the hunting ground tomorrow."
With Du Ting's jealousy, who knows what he will do?
She has also watched quite a few TV dramas about palace intrigues and family feuds.
"Yes, don't worry, Miss." Dong Gui responded, thinking that the master has been busy with tomorrow's matters, and there will definitely be no accidents tomorrow.
Xiao Jiuyue returned to the Xiao family, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to find Xiao Yurong.
"Sister, didn't I drop this sachet? How did you find it?" Xiao Yurong immediately recognized the sachet Xiao Jiuyue had given her. "I dropped it the other day when I went to Da Ci'en Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. When did you go to Da Ci'en Temple? Why didn't I invite you along?"
"I don't have time to go to Da Ci'en Temple. This sachet was given to me by someone." Xiao Jiuyue looked at her, seemingly clueless, and said, "Tell me, which kindhearted person picked it up? Who knew they'd give it to me just by looking at the word 'Rong'?"
"That means the other party knows your identity." Xiao Jiuyue played with the sachet in his hand, his eyes falling on the red-faced Xiao Yurong. She blushed and was so nervous that she didn't know how to speak. She said, "Sister, I think it might be Young Master Jiang's."
"Who is Mr. Jiang?" Xiao Jiuyue asked with interest. It seemed that there was a story behind this.
"That's right..." Xiao Yurong felt a little embarrassed. She usually went to Zhiyun Tower or Da Ci'en Temple to burn incense and pray. After what happened to the Xiao family, what Xiao Yurong wanted most was stability.
Xiao Yurong was always in a heavy mood about Fan who left Shengjing, especially when she received the news of Fan's death. Xiao Yurong's mood was even more complicated. She offered a perpetual lamp in Da Ci'en Temple, praying that Fan would be reborn into a good family in the next life.
When Xiao Yurong was resting in the backyard of the temple, she happened to bump into Mr. Jiang Er. She accidentally broke the bracelet of Mr. Jiang Er's jade pendant. In order to make up for it, Xiao Yurong repaired the bracelet of Mr. Jiang Er's jade pendant.
"That's it?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow. Wouldn't it be a hero saving the beauty or something?
"Yes, sister, what else do you think?" Xiao Yurong looked at her blankly.
"You and Second Young Master Jiang, is there anything else? Anything special?" Xiao Jiuyue's gossipy heart could no longer be hidden. Second Young Master Jiang was obviously in love at first sight, and Sister Yurong...
Xiao Yurong said nervously, "Sister, should I make a new lace for him instead of repairing the old one?"
"At the time, I saw that the cord was very old, yet Second Young Master Jiang was still using it. I thought he might not like the new one, so I repaired it." Xiao Yurong explained anxiously, "Sister, did I mean well but end up doing something bad, bringing shame to the Xiao family?"
Xiao Yurong looked so anxious that she was almost crying.
"That's not the case." Xiao Jiuyue quickly spoke to comfort him, saying, "Since Second Young Master Jiang doesn't despise me, he must be a nostalgic person. What do you think of Second Young Master Jiang?"
"Ah?" Xiao Yurong was almost crying with anxiety just now, but now after hearing what Xiao Jiuyue said, she became confused again and said, "Second Young Master Jiang is a good man. He didn't even ask me for compensation."
Xiao Jiuyue just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out.
"Sister, drink slowly." Xiao Yurong quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Xiao Jiuyue wiped it herself and cleared her throat. She hadn't recovered from the shock of what she had just heard. Her sister was carefree. She asked, "You are one year younger than me. There are so many people coming to the Xiao family to propose marriage that they are almost knocking down the door. Do you have any ideas?"
"I..." Xiao Yurong's face turned even redder when she mentioned marriage.
"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. What's there to be shy about?" This was the first time that Xiao Jiuyue talked about this matter seriously with Xiao Yurong. Lianxin and Luokui and others around him had been teased for being thick-skinned.
"Sister, I'm not in a hurry." Xiao Yurong looked at her embarrassedly.
Xiao Jiuyue decided to get straight to the point: "Second Aunt has been worried about your marriage. If you have someone you like, you can just tell me. After all, this is the most important event in your life."
