The myna bird's cry, "Little brother, I love you the most~ Mmm~", instantly silenced the room.
A heated discussion then erupted.
"I didn't realize that Sixth Master Jiang was so skilled at this."
"You can know a person's face but not their heart."
"A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth has wasted his youth."
"It's normal for a young man to have feelings for someone."
"Sixth Master likes Sister. I have a nice niece on my family's side. I'll introduce her to him."
...
The murmurs drowned out Jiang Mingshu's rebuke of the myna bird.
"Shut up, I'm going to kill you."
Jiang Mingshu panicked and opened the cage, trying to pinch the myna's beak shut.
The myna bird flew out and circled the hall, continuing to chatter.
"Sister, you are the only one in my heart."
"Quickly, grab it!" Jiang Mingshu shouted to the servants.
"The bird was killed."
"Fifth Sister, the old woman gave you too little dowry. Try to coax her a little more and ask for more."
“That old hag is biased towards her son. Biased, biased…” the myna bird flew to Old Madam Jiang’s head and shouted.
"Mother, be careful! Quickly grab it, hurry!" Jiang Mingyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She cursed Jiang Mingshu inwardly for being careless and urged the servants to catch the myna bird.
The myna bird flew from Madam Jiang's head to Madam Jiang's side.
"You old fool, you old fool! You favor your own son. He's not your biological son, so you get nothing. You're so biased! I'll poison you, poison you, I'll poison you to death..."
"Jiang Mingshu." The older Old Master Jiang got, the more afraid he became of death. Hearing this, his heart pounded, and he immediately ripped off his robe, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it twice.
"Go, fetch a doctor."
"Father, it wasn't me. It wasn't me," Jiang Mingshu denied, but everyone could see his panic after the truth was revealed.
"Catch the bird quickly. Hurry!"
The myna bird perched on Old Master Jiang's head, and the servants dared not approach to pounce or scratch it.
Be careful when reaching out; the myna bird flew back to the roof beam and unleashed another powerful attack.
"Mingyue, you are my heart and soul, my treasure. You are the only one in my heart."
"I, Jiang Mingshu, swear that I will only love Jiang Mingyue in this lifetime. Waaah..." This is truly a direct naming of her.
The woman who had previously said she would introduce her niece from her maternal family suddenly changed her expression.
"Guards, seize Jiang Mingshu!"
Grandpa Jiang's 60th birthday celebration was ruined by a myna bird.
The banquet outside is still going on, but it's already over inside the courtyard.
No one wanted to eat; they excitedly left to spread the firsthand news.
Within a day, news spread throughout the city that the sixth son of the richest family, who was also the stepson of the fifth daughter of the Jiang family, was having an affair with her. He was dissatisfied with the poor treatment he received from Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang and had secretly poisoned the two girls.
This is the first version that Chunyao told Ye Yunniang.
When Li'er told Ye Yunniang, it had become clear that Jiang Mingshu and Jiang Mingyue were secretly pregnant, and Old Master Jiang was forcing them apart. Their child was lost, and the other children in the household were to be buried with them. It also claimed to have caused the deaths of the second and third wives' children. Jiang Mingyue was described as inherently jealous, having beaten and killed maids, among other things.
Things were still changing, but Ye Yunniang had no time to listen. She needed to pack her bags and follow her master to Jingsi Manor.
The clothes, shoes, and socks I brought were packed in one box, and other clothing, jewelry, books, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were placed in another box.
Jingsi Manor was not large, and Ye Yunniang lived in a side room with her head maids.
Chunyao didn't come. Two days before she came, Chunyao's child got chickenpox.
Therefore, Jiang Mingrui and Jin Huifang, who originally planned to wait until Jiang Mingshu finished dealing with her affairs before setting off, left early with their child.
Jiang Tingjun didn't know if it was from the car ride or what, but he developed a fever that night.
We invited a doctor to prepare medicine and administer it, but it didn't help.
Ye Yunniang held Jiang Tingjun, who was crying incessantly, and tried to comfort him.
After two days and two nights without sleep, Jiang Tingjun's fever subsided. Ye Yunniang then returned to her room and slept soundly to recover.
Upon waking, he received many gifts.
This is also what Ye Yunniang liked most about Jin Huifang: she was generous in rewarding servants who did well.
Ye Yunniang accepted the reward and went to thank Jin Huifang.
Jin Huifang and Jiang Mingrui discussed that many things had happened to their four families recently.
I'll stay at Baiyun Temple for a while, offer incense, and pray for my son's safety.
Ye Yunniang had offered incense before. The mountain wasn't high; it took half an hour to walk there, so it wasn't strenuous.
It takes two hours to walk to Baiyun Mountain.
Fortunately, Jin Huifang was considerate of her hard work taking care of Jiang Tingjun, so she arranged a sedan chair for her and carried her directly up the mountain.
We arrived at the mountain around noon, so we went to the guest house to rest, had a vegetarian meal, and then rested for another hour.
In the afternoon, we strolled around the temple and enjoyed the scenery.
Ye Yunniang didn't climb the mountain, so she wasn't tired. She carried Jiang Tingjun, who didn't want to stay indoors, and strolled around the temple.
As I walked, I heard a familiar voice.
"Mother." Ye Yunniang took two quick steps and passed through the round gate.
Cai Damei chatted with people while taking care of her child.
I was a little confused when I heard the shout.
Why can I hear Yunniang's voice?
Turning around, Ye Yunniang, holding a precious child, gave them a bitter smile.
The two sides met and had a chat.
Ye Yunniang entered the Jiang residence, and Cai Damei kept a close watch on the situation. A child had been abducted from the Jiang residence, and a maidservant had been murdered.
Cai Damei was very worried, so she ran to the side gate to ask Granny Tian for information.
Granny Tian only said that everyone was fine and told Cai Damei to go back.
As for Cai Damei wanting to see Ye Yunniang, Granny Tian said that she couldn't enter the inner courtyard and couldn't give a message.
Cai Damei returned home worriedly. A few days later, she received clothes and fabric from Granny Tian, who had asked Ye Yunniang to deliver them. She said she was fine.
Cai Damei sensed something was wrong.
Seeing that Cai Damei was too worried, the neighbors came to Baiyun Temple to offer incense and pray for her.
Cai Damei agreed. They arranged a time and went to the temple.
Unexpectedly, I met Ye Yunniang.
