Chapter 50: Could it be Xie Lingyun’s sweetheart?
Que'er remembered Jiang Qingyue's instructions and told the whole story.
From Liuxiang Pavilion to the conversation with Maoyuan, all the people who could testify for him were mentioned.
What she said was well-reasoned and her attitude was humble and respectful, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Mrs. Jiang's face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
When Que'er left, Jiang Mingyang and Maoyuan were being punished. Just as they walked a short distance, they saw Jiang Guiyu hurriedly coming over here.
Que'er stepped aside and saluted. Jiang Guiyu looked her up and down, and suddenly smiled.
Then he hurried past her.
But for some reason, Que'er felt vaguely uneasy.
When Jiang Guiyu went in, he looked around and saw that his father had already left and his mother was leaning over the table, crying so hard that she almost fainted.
There were broken porcelain cups all over the floor, which showed that my mother was really angry.
"mother."
Jiang Guiyu stepped over the mess and held Mrs. Jiang's shoulders.
"Have I caused trouble for my mother again?"
Mrs. Jiang raised her head and saw tears on her face, which made me feel pity for her.
"It's not your fault. It's all Jiang Qingyue's fault. How dare she order the maid to frame me."
"That girl Que'er?" Jiang Guiyu shed two more tears. "Sister Qingyue must really have some grievances against our family. Ahem, otherwise why would she have caused Mom to be scolded by Dad twice after only being home for a few days?"
She coughed several times in a row, and Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to cry anymore. She just focused on helping her to calm down.
Jiang Guiyu grabbed Mrs. Jiang's hand and cried even more aggrievedly.
"Daddy is also confused. You two have had such a good relationship for so many years, how could you let Sister Qingyue stir up trouble with just a few words?"
Madam Jiang's eyes were filled with emotion. "I shouldn't have asked my cousin for help, and shouldn't have asked the Xie family to help bring her back to Yanjing City. If she stayed at home, wouldn't she turn the family upside down?"
Jiang Guiyu had been waiting for these words.
She rolled her eyes and persuaded softly.
"If Mother is worried that she will cause chaos at home, why not marry her off earlier? That would both keep the Seventh Prince in check and reassure Father and Mother.
Anyway, the purpose of bringing her back was to help Big Sister secure her position as the Queen."
"Although Daddy is waiting and watching, hoping that Sister can marry my cousin, the Crown Prince, my cousin has a rebellious personality. Even if Qingyue is allowed to marry him, can Qingyue really influence him?"
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, secretly looking at Mrs. Jiang's expression.
"Also, I see that Sister Qingyue has some grudges against us. If she finds out, I'm afraid she'll cause trouble again, bringing trouble to our family..."
Mrs. Jiang was reminded and her eyes widened, but in just a moment, she became depressed again.
It would be better to have the three daughters marry into one family each to establish closer in-law relationships.
But Gui Yu was right. Could Jiang Qingyue control Xie Lingyun, that devil?
It would be better for Jiang Qingyue to help Wanyin consolidate her position as the main wife. If she can keep one stable, then that’s a good thing.
Madam Jiang nodded. "You're right. You're smart. No wonder you're able to please Concubine Wan."
Jiang Guiyu pursed his lips and smiled, half squatting, and considerately complemented Mrs. Jiang.
"Sister Qingyue has been back in the capital for a long time now, so she's definitely going to get to know the ladies of various families. Why not pick a good day and take Sister Qingyue out for a walk? It'll also be a good opportunity for the Seventh Prince to take a look at her."
"If the Seventh Prince has taken a fancy to Sister Qingyue and has no objections, then wouldn't the marriage be imminent?"
Mrs. Jiang unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
The Seventh Prince loves beauties, otherwise he would not have chosen Wanyin from among the noble ladies of aristocratic families.
Jiang Qingyue looks 50% to 60% like Wanyin. I think she will like Qingyue after meeting her.
It just so happened that the Seventh Prince had just returned from his errand, so we arranged a meeting earlier so that the Seventh Prince and the Empress could have a look.
Mrs. Jiang made up her mind, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Jiang Guiyu lowered his eyes, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth to cover the corner of his lips that were unconsciously raised.
Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
After Jiang Qingyue chatted with He Peilan for a while, she wrote a prescription and was about to go back.
He Peilan asked Yin Yao to see her off, but Yin Yao went out and just showed her the way.
"At this time, if the Young Master is not in the Osmanthus Garden in the East Courtyard, he should be in the Mountain Pavilion. If Miss San doesn't want to run into him, you can take the Youlan Pavilion instead, and then you can leave the mansion."
Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up, she thanked him gratefully, and left in the direction she pointed.
Yin Yao looked at the third young lady's slim and graceful back and sighed with some regret.
The Third Miss is so afraid of the Crown Prince, I'm afraid she doesn't like him. The old lady's wish may be dashed.
That’s right, although the prince is handsome, he has a cold and arrogant personality and is ruthless in his words. Which delicate girl could like him?
Most of them should like a man like Lord Xiao Lu who is talented, gentle and handsome.
This second young lady is so lucky.
Not only has he enjoyed the wealth and glory for more than ten years for the real daughter, and has been doted on by all the Jiang family, but he also has a new favorite like Lord Xiao Lu as his fiancé. Anyone who sees him would envy him.
It’s a pity that the third young lady is so talented.
When she returned to He Peilan, she learned that Jiang Qingyue had left in a hurry and was deliberately avoiding Xie Lingyun, and she immediately sighed.
What’s the point of having a son who can’t please girls?
When will I be able to hold my sweet and soft grandchildren?
Yin Yao chuckled, "When the Third Miss saw our Young Master, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. When she heard that she couldn't meet the Young Master at Youlan Pavilion, she left in a flash."
Jin Yao also laughed, "This servant finds it strange too. The Third Miss is someone who can handle things on her own, but as long as our Young Master is around, she becomes uncomfortable and doesn't even dare to speak."
The last time she came, He Peilan casually draped the cloak over Jiang Qingyue.
Everything was fine, but Jiang Qingyue panicked as soon as Xie Lingyun came in.
He Peilan sighed.
I originally wanted to match the two children together, but now it seems that neither of them is interested in this.
Jin Yao was a little worried, "But can this arrangement really work, Master?"
He Peilan sighed.
It was all those rumors outside that caused everyone to misunderstand Jiang Qingyue.
"Lingyun is overthinking it. Qingyue is a good kid."
Yin Yao advised, "Old Madam, in my opinion, the reason the Young Master made this arrangement may not be because of the rumors outside, but because the Second Young Lady avoids seeing outsiders."
"I heard that the Marquis and the Crown Prince wanted to find another doctor for the Second Miss, and she threw a tantrum. She was just trying to listen to what you said, Old Madam, but then she turned around and hid in her room again."
"The prince made these arrangements all for the sake of the second young lady."
He Peilan was worried. "I don't know if Shuyan's muteness can be cured. She just came of age. Is her life going to be ruined like this?"
Jin Yao and Yin Yao tried to persuade both sides, and finally Yin Yao said that she would go and take a look secretly, and He Peilan finally felt relieved.
When they came, Yin Yao introduced the layout and courtyard of the mansion to Jiang Qingyue. Jiang Qingyue wanted to deliberately avoid Xie Lingyun, so she walked in the direction Yin Yao pointed.
But when she reached Youlan Pavilion, Jiang Qingyue found that there was no road ahead.
Jiang Qingyue recalled Yin Yao's words about giving directions to make sure she was not going the wrong way.
She wanted to go back the way she came, but the mansion was so big that she walked through seven or eight corridors in just a moment, and her head was dizzy.
I couldn't tell east from west and east from west, and I couldn't even find the way I came.
Just when he was wondering, a girl happened to come over. She was not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had a pretty face and was dressed in silk and satin, but there were few pearl hairpins in her hair.
Who is this?
