Jiang Mingzhi slept very soundly this time.
When she woke up again, it was already past noon. Wang Qiang and Qi Shuya had just arrived. Jiang Mingzhi asked Qingtang to help her wash and dress. Seeing Qingtang brought a brand new dress that was soft and skin-friendly, she frowned. Qingtang smiled and explained, "Miss, this is not your cousin's. The eldest lady made it for you a while ago. It has been washed. The eldest lady specifically asked for it, saying that your skin is delicate and it will be more comfortable to wear it this way."
It wasn't that Jiang Mingzhi was unwilling to wear Wang Zhaojun's clothes, she was just worried that her aunt would only care about her and ignore Wang Zhaojun. She didn't want to ruin the relationship between the sisters because of these little things. After hearing what Qingtang said, Jiang Mingzhi found it funny again. It turned out that she was just being petty!
She had just put on her clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair when Wang Qiang and Qi Shuya came over.
"My mother always said that I was the most talkative and the slowest to do things. Every time the family had to go out, I was the last one to leave. Now it seems that I don't have to bear that reputation anymore!"
Jiang Mingzhi was already accustomed to Wang Qiang's lively and outgoing nature. Hearing what she said was amusing, he laughed and teased, "Don't even think of asking me to bear this reputation for you. You're just taking advantage of someone who's in trouble. Wait until I'm better, and then we can compete again."
"Anyway, I don't care. You're going to bear this reputation today. I'm not a gentleman. I'm just taking advantage of others' misfortune!"
The two little sisters were bickering without any logic, but it was very lively. Qi Shuya laughed so hard that she held her stomach, and the whole room was filled with laughter.
As they were talking, Du Ruo came into the room, raised the curtain, and after bowing to the three people, he said, "Two young ladies from the Jinyi Marquis's Mansion have come to see my cousin. They are now at Madam's place. Madam said that my cousin has finished packing and will come over to talk."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent. It was obvious that no one liked the two young ladies from the Jinyi Marquis's Mansion.
Wang Qiang felt that if Jiang Yushu really cared about her sister, he should have come yesterday. But he came only at noon the next day, which was not sincere. After all, she was her closest sister, so he was no more than that!
Thinking of the look Jiang Yushu had given her before, that indescribable alienation and vigilance, Wang Qiang felt uneasy and indescribable.
Qi Shuya didn't know the young ladies in the Jinyi Marquis's Mansion well, but she had met Jiang Yuzhen a few times before. Because she was engaged to her eldest brother, she paid more attention to them. She felt that the third young lady was not as good as the rumors said. Later, she became known for her bad luck in getting married, so her family wanted to cancel the engagement, but they kept waiting and watching.
So she didn't know what to say. Everyone was closely related to each other, and she would say something wrong if she was not careful. So she just kept silent.
Wang Qiang, however, did not care so much. She saw Jiang Yushu wearing a light blue butterfly-flower patterned top with a slanted collar and piping, and a white lace skirt. She looked very fresh, but her face was pale, and even with lip balm on, she looked very haggard.
Jiang Yuzhen wore a scarlet top with a pattern of a jade rabbit looking at the moon, and a horse-faced skirt of the same color. Even her shoes were the same color. It was obvious that she was someone who put a lot of effort into her appearance. Compared to Jiang Yushu, the second young lady, she was more elegant and looked more like a young lady from a marquis's mansion.
Wang Qiang deliberately smiled and said, "Just now I almost thought that this was my second cousin. No wonder my mother always says that I only remember clothes and not people. I will be easily bullied in the future!"
