Chapter 8 Weird Old Stories



"Sister, let me go with you." Seeing this, Jiang Yushu suddenly stood up. Her voice was as gentle as usual, but her eyes revealed a bit of nervousness, as if she was afraid that Jiang Mingzhi would reject her.

Jiang Mingzhi couldn't help but frown. This was her biological sister who was born from the same mother as her. Why did she seem to be afraid of her?

She glanced at Jiang Yuzhen beside Jiang Yushu and was about to say something when Feng suddenly urged, "Yes, yes, Yushu, please stay with your sister so that the two sisters can look after each other."

This statement is a bit far-fetched. It's just a change of clothes. There are people to serve her. Why does she need Jiang Yushu to accompany her and look after her?

Seeing Feng so eager, Jiang Mingzhi swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She wanted to see what Feng was up to!

Could it be that she wanted Jiang Yushu to harm her biological sister?

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Mingzhi suddenly remembered something and his heart tightened.

She also suddenly remembered that Jiang Yushu had grown up with Jiang Yuzhen, eating, living and together, and had almost ignored her, the foolish sister. In terms of affection, it was not as good as that between him and Jiang Yuzhen.

But if they really had a deep sisterly love, why would Jiang Yuzhen treat her like a servant, beating and scolding her? As they were both young ladies from a marquis's mansion, this was really unreasonable.

But now is not the time to think about this. She just hopes that Jiang Yushu will not lose the little trust she has.

"Okay, you sisters, go and come back quickly." Jiang Rongqing nodded, and reminded them a few more times not to run around, change clothes and come back quickly, and then let Jiang Mingzhi go.

Following the servants of Prince Jin's mansion to the wing rooms specially prepared for guests to rest, the little maid who had clumsily wet Jiang Mingzhi's skirt said, "Miss Jiang, I'll go get you a basin of water so you can wash up."

Jiang Mingzhi nodded, and the maid closed the door and went out.

Only her own people were left in the room, and Zan'er said somewhat displeasedly, "This little maid from Prince Jin's mansion is too careless. She had such a big seat, but she managed to spill soup on the young lady's clothes."

Jiang Mingzhi gave a look and Zan'er quickly shut up. Qingtang glanced around the room quickly and said nothing more. This was Prince Jin's Mansion, so they had to be careful in everything to avoid giving others a chance to talk.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ping'er came over with some clean clothes. Jiang Yushu stood up and took the clothes, saying to Jiang Mingzhi, "Eldest sister, let me help you change your dirty clothes."

Jiang Mingzhi nodded and did not refuse.

She was still thinking about the past. After changing her clothes and washing her hands, Jiang Yushu helped Jiang Mingzhi out.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Mingzhi's voice suddenly rang out, startling Jiang Yushu, who was lost in thought. She quickly shook her head, "Eldest sister, you're worrying too much. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere."

Jiang Mingzhi's gaze fell on the hand that she was holding on to him. That hand was tightly grasping Jiang Mingzhi's arm, so tightly that the knuckles were turning white.

Realizing his own gaffe belatedly, Jiang Yushu quickly pulled his hand back and explained in a panic, "I was just distracted and didn't mean to hurt my elder sister."

He looked like a frightened deer in the forest, extremely terrified.

Jiang Mingzhi couldn't help but frown. The day they moved into Baozhen Building, Jiang Yuzhen attacked Jiang Yushu, so she asked Qingtang about the past news.

She and her sister are born of the same mother and are both granddaughters of her grandmother. Since her grandmother sent Qingtang to take care of her, she must have made some arrangements for Jiang Yushu.

As a result of this question, I found out that Jiang Yushu had indeed had a nanny who came from the Wang family together with Qingtang. The nanny's surname was Tan, and she was the companion of Madam Wang. She was very capable when she was in the Wang family. Jiang Yushu returned to Beijing when she was three years old, and Nanny Tan followed her at that time.

She took good care of Jiang Yushu's food, clothing, and daily life, but for some reason, when Jiang Yushu was twelve years old, this Nanny Tan stole the second lady's things and was then driven away to the farm by Feng.

There were also several maids from the Wang family who had taken care of Jiang Yushu since childhood, but they were also sent away by Feng with different excuses.

An idea came to Jiang Mingzhi's mind. Could it be that Feng wanted to sow discord between the two sisters, so she deliberately did something to sow discord and instilled in the young Jiang Yushu the idea of ​​distancing herself from the Wang family and her?

This is not impossible, Jiang Mingzhi felt a little heavy in his heart.

Now that I own this body, I should pay more attention to my only sister. It is not too late to pay more attention to her from now on.

As he thought about it, Jiang Mingzhi suddenly felt a little itchy.

This feeling is like ants crawling on the body. It is not obvious at first, but gradually it becomes more and more dense, making people feel as if there are tiny thorns in the pores.

"I need to go to the bathroom. You can take Ping'er and the others back first and tell the Marquis and his wife."

After Jiang Mingzhi finished speaking, he didn't care about Jiang Yushu's expression, and turned around with Qingtang and headed towards the place where they had just changed clothes.

Qingtang was keenly aware of Jiang Mingzhi's anomaly. Seeing that no one was around, she lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

When they got into the house, Jiang Mingzhi didn't care about anything else and reached out to scratch her back. Unexpectedly, the more she scratched, the more itchy it became. The more itchy it became, the more she scratched. Qingtang saw that something was wrong and lifted up the jacket she had just changed. She saw that her young lady's snow-white back was covered with small red rashes.

"Oh, why are there so many rashes!" Qingtang also worked hard in the backyard. The rashes appeared quickly and suddenly. It was obvious that they were not the same as before, so he immediately became alert.

"wrong."

Qingtang said as he helped Jiang Mingzhi take off her clothes, "Why is there still a smell of medicine on this clothes?"

Could it be that someone tampered with the clothes?

The master and servant exchanged a glance. Jiang Mingzhi leaned in closer to embroider, her brows slightly furrowed, and she shook her head: "It's not the clothes that are the problem. It's the smell of mugwort."

Fumigating clothes with aged mugwort in the spring can prevent the mosquitoes that increase after the Waking of Insects. Her wet nurse had done this when she was at the Zhou household, but it didn't seem to be a common practice at the Jinyi Marquis's residence. She hadn't noticed the scent on Jiang Yushu and Jiang Yuzhen.

She checked everything on her body carefully and found nothing wrong. She even checked the hairpin and necklace carefully.

Just when she was at a loss for what to do, her eyes suddenly fell on the sachet she was carrying with her.

She had been carrying the sachet since she woke up, and she had checked it before and there was nothing wrong with it.

But at this time, everything on her body was suspicious.

Jiang Mingzhi slowly brought it closer, and in just a moment, she understood what went wrong.
