Hearing that Jiang Mingzhi had returned safely, Jiang Yushu blinked and stared at the antique shelf in the distance in confusion.
The eldest sister is fine, but will she know what I have done? What will happen if the eldest sister knows?
My mind was in a mess when Xuezhi walked in quickly from outside, "Second Miss, the old lady has entered the mansion!"
If the elder sister no longer likes me, will she stop caring about me from now on?
Grandmother is back home? Jiang Yushu's heart was in turmoil. She didn't know much about this grandmother, so she didn't have any feelings for this legitimate grandmother. She just didn't expect that her eldest sister would care so much about this legitimate grandmother. Could it be that something happened in the past that she didn't know about?
It was already May, and Mu'an Residence had been cleaned up long ago. Now that Old Madam Jiang had returned, she moved in directly.
Jiang Mingzhi took the initiative to arrange for people to fetch water, and personally helped Old Madam Jiang to wash and dress, and change into comfortable and clean clothes. Then he helped the old lady to the flower hall of Mu'anju.
Mu'anju is located next to the garden of Jinyihou Mansion. It has towering ancient trees and pleasant scenery. It exudes a sense of ancient wildness that makes people happy to see it.
Without asking, Old Lady Jiang also knew that this courtyard was arranged by Jiang Mingzhi. Jiang Rongqing was raised by her, so she knew his temper. He has always been a person who likes to save trouble and will never interfere if he can avoid it.
But she was really wrong about this matter. In fact, most of the yard was taken care of by people arranged by Feng. Jiang Mingzhi just looked at the scenery in the yard and spent some time to change and add or remove the decorations.
Jiang Yuzhen was waiting in the flower hall with her father. She had no intention of getting close to her grandmother. She was just preparing tea. Her nose felt itchy and she couldn't help sneezing. She didn't know who was talking about her. She twisted her handkerchief in annoyance, with her eyes and eyebrows drooping, as if someone owed her five hundred taels of silver and hadn't paid it back.
Seeing that his stepmother hadn't arrived yet, Jiang Rongqing advised, "Your stepmother has been living in Dingzhou all these years and has never bothered us. Now that she's back for a rare visit, don't act like you don't like us all the time. If your stepmother sees you, she'll inevitably think too much!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhen wiped her forehead with a handkerchief and forced a smile. Only then did Jiang Rongqing stop talking.
But seeing her father looking fine, Jiang Yuzhen felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. Her mother disappeared for no reason and was found in Jiang Yushu's yard. Now there was no news from her, but her father was not worried at all. It was in vain that her mother gave birth to a pair of children for him, but ended up like this.
As a daughter, she had some idea whether her father liked this stepmother or not. His previous indifference and current attention were only to enhance his own reputation.
Feeling sad, Jiang Yuzhen secretly made up her mind that if she could marry into the Duke of Song's mansion, she would face the reality clearly and never lose herself in a man.
Seeing his daughter's indifferent look, as if it had nothing to do with her, Jiang Rongqing felt somewhat displeased. But in the final analysis, the child was just following his example because he and Feng had shown indifference towards their stepmother in the past.
He understood Feng's thoughts very well. She always spoke on his side in the past. She felt that her stepmother was not her biological mother after all, and living together would inevitably lead to rifts. It would be better to keep a distance from them so that they could live in peace.
