Chapter 22 Call me aunt? Who do you think you are?
Later, when Jiang Guiyu was washing up, Jinxiu came in with a happy look on her face.
"Miss, Madam Wang just sent a message, saying that you should get up early tomorrow and get ready so that we can go to the Marquis' Mansion together."
Jiang Guiyu was stunned. "What's going on?"
Jinxiu said with great joy that it was Jiang Mingyang who went to Madam Jiang and made a scene.
As soon as Jiang Qingyue came back, he only took Jiang Qingyue out without bringing Sister Guiyu. How hurtful must that be to Sister Guiyu?
If this gets out, wouldn't Sister Guiyu lose all face? How many people would mock her?
Mrs. Jiang was troubled by him and could only agree to take Jiang Guiyu to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion if she recovered tomorrow.
Jiang Guiyu lowered his eyes secretly and smiled sadly. After all, he was his biological child, so he was not worried about any noise he made.
…………
Early the next morning, Mrs. Jiang asked her maid to pick up Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Guiyu and go to the Marquis' Mansion together.
In addition to expressing my condolences to the Marquis’ wife regarding her illness, I would also like to thank Prince Xie for his help.
Although the Jiang family and the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion are cousins on the surface, they are actually several rooms apart. In reality, they are not even remotely related.
When it was time to pick up Jiang Qingyue, the Jiang family was supposed to go to Northern Xinjiang, but Jiang Guiyu had a cold and a high fever, and the situation was critical. Everyone was worried about Jiang Guiyu, and no one was able to spare time.
That's why he shamelessly asked the Marquis' Mansion to let Prince Xie bring Jiang Qingyue back with him when he returned to the court after the war.
Jiang Guiyu's illness was indeed cured, and his complexion looked a little better. However, Jiang Mingyang was worried and wanted to go with him.
After waiting for a while, the maid came back and said Miss Qingyue said she had to take care of the eldest lady and could not go.
"What happened, Miss?"
The little maidservant said, "Last night the wind was cold, and the young lady caught a cold when she opened the window. This morning she has been feeling hot and has a slight fever. Miss Qingyue is still watching over her."
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she became a little anxious.
"How do you take care of these girls?" Mrs. Jiang looked at the carriage at the door, but couldn't put Wanyin down.
Wanyin finally got better, but what if something happened?
Mother Wang's eyes sparkled as she stepped forward immediately. "Madam, the visiting card is ready. It will be too late if you don't go now. Miss Qingyue knows some medical skills, so don't worry about her taking care of you."
Mrs. Jiang pondered for a moment and said, yes, there is no time to waste for the Marquis’ wife.
But he was still worried, so he asked the maid to find a doctor to take a look.
Only then did he order a carriage to go to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion.
"Madam, the doorman reported that Madam Jiang has sent a visiting card. Would you like to see her?" Jin Yao walked over and asked in a low voice.
He Peilan raised her eyebrows and nodded: "Please come here!"
After a while, the servant led the person into the mansion and into the inner house.
The man was outside, so Madam Jiang brought Jiang Guiyu to the flower hall, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Madam."
He Peilan nodded slightly, "Get up, no need to be so polite."
His gaze fell inconspicuously on the delicate girl beside Mrs. Jiang, who was swaying gently like a willow.
Only one, not a stranger.
What's his name Jiang Guiyu?
She is not the real daughter of the Jiang family.
It's only been a few days since the real daughter came back, and the vicious things she did have spread like wildfire. If it wasn't done intentionally by someone, then the Jiang family's servants were too careless.
She had met Lord Jiang several times. He was a serious and steady person, not like someone who didn't know how to control his subordinates.
This fake daughter is really too young and her methods are dirty.
Mrs. Jiang looked apologetic. "I heard you weren't feeling well, so I came to visit you. I also want to thank Ling Yun for bringing Qing Yue back. He caused me a lot of trouble along the way."
After saying that, he asked his servants to deliver the gifts, a five-hundred-year-old ginseng and some supplements.
He Peilan smiled slightly, her face gentle and kind as she sat crookedly, "We're all family, you're too polite. This is just something Lingyun did for a living, it's not worth your personal thanks."
Finally, He Peilan's eyes flashed, and she looked at Jiang Guiyu leisurely.
"But speaking of thanking you, why isn't your girl Qingyue here? Instead, you brought someone irrelevant with you."
"She's lived through more than a decade of hardship in Northern Xinjiang. I feel so sorry for her. If she were my child, I'd be heartbroken. I'd have to compensate her for all the years I've owed her. Even if it was the stars in the sky, I'd have someone pick them down for her!"
He Peilan's words made Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Guiyu's hearts skip a beat, and their faces showed different expressions.
"I came here specifically to thank the prince, but I didn't bring Qingyue with me. I was inconsiderate." Madam Jiang blinked and explained, "I wanted to come, but her elder sister was unwell this morning, so Qingyue stayed at home to take care of Wanyin, so I didn't come."
Jiang Guiyu also quickly stood up, biting her lips lightly, "Sister Qingyue has lived in a cold and harsh place since she was a child. She has just returned home and doesn't know the etiquette yet. Please don't blame me, aunt."
After hearing what Jiang Guiyu said, Mrs. Jiang felt a little dissatisfied with Jiang Qingyue. Why did she have to take care of Wanyin today when she could have done so at any other time?
If she had come, would he have been scolded by the Marquis's wife for being ignorant of etiquette?
After hearing this, He Peilan was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Jiang, and saw that she actually seemed to agree with Jiang Guiyu.
No, is Mrs. Jiang pretending to be stupid, or is she really stupid?
Jiang Qingyue had just arrived and was afraid of making etiquette mistakes, so she stayed at home to take care of her sister. She could still talk about the deep sisterly love.
Mrs. Jiang thanked him on his behalf and the matter was over.
But what is there for Jiang Qingyue to thank for by bringing Jiang Guiyu, who is not related to her by blood?
I'm afraid that others don't know. Even if my biological daughter comes back, the one I can take out of the house by my side is still a fake daughter, right?
He Peilan's face darkened as she sneered, "Aunt? Qingyue calling me aunt is a bit of a stretch, but your biological mother is a criminal, so you'd better not call her that."
It was fine if I didn't know before, but now that I know the truth, it's still rude to call her aunt. What kind of a filthy person dares to associate with her?
Very unlucky.
These words made Jiang Guiyu's face turn pale and he became shaky.
Mrs. Jiang felt very distressed, but she did not dare to anger Mrs. Hou, so she could only say yes timidly.
He Peilan agreed to meet the real daughter of the Jiang family because she was curious about her.
Not only did I not see any people, but they were all idiots.
She no longer had the energy to deal with it, and after chatting for a few sentences, she excused herself as feeling unwell and wanted to rest.
Mrs. Jiang now understood the meaning of thanking the guest and left with Jiang Guiyu.
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Guiyu threw himself into Madam Jiang's arms as soon as he got on the carriage, tears welling up in his eyes, streaming down his face.
When Mrs. Jiang saw this, her heart broke. She hugged Jiang Guiyu tightly and coaxed him for a long time.
Although she is not her biological daughter, Guiyu was raised by her own hands and treated like a treasure. Their feelings are real.
After so many years, even if they are not biological children, they are almost the same as biological children.
"My son, you have been wronged. Your mother shouldn't have called you here."
Jiang Guiyu had never suffered such injustice before. He had always been spoiled when he grew up. Once his status changed, everything changed.
Mother Wang was right. If she didn't fight for it and let Jiang Qingyue be favored by her parents and brother, there would be no place for her in the entire Jiang family.
She moved out of the Jiang family and lived the life of an ordinary commoner, and was pointed out as the daughter of a criminal.
cannot!
She would never let herself fall into that situation.
