Chapter 53 If she doesn't fight, no one will help her
Mrs. Jiang instantly forgot about the private vault key and immediately stood up excitedly, "Qingyue."
Jiang Guiyu twisted the handkerchief tightly in his hands, and the faint smile on his face looked even more forced and lonely.
Just calling them "Dad and Mom" made Dad and Mom so happy...
So what has she been up to over the years?
Mother Wang was right, blood is thicker than water. She was not a biological child, and her biological parents were dead. If she didn't fight for herself, no one would fight for her.
Cough cough!
Jiang Guiyu coughed just right, then reached out to grab Madam Jiang who was standing up, "Mother, you don't want me anymore?"
Outside the door, Jiang Wanyin, who had just arrived, saw this and let out an imperceptible sigh as she withdrew her gaze.
As soon as she heard that Jiang Qingyue had returned home, she rushed straight to the main house and knew that something was wrong.
Mother Xu supported Jiang Wanyin with a puzzled look in her eyes. Why didn't she go in? It was so cold outside.
"Miss, why don't you go in?"
Jiang Wanyin shook her head, "Wait a moment."
inside the house.
Mrs. Jiang looked back at Jiang Guiyu, whose eyes were slightly red, full of sadness and anxiety, and her heart tightened.
He sat down again and tried to comfort Jiang Guiyu first.
Jiang Qingyue's expression remained calm as she handed over the list of required medicinal herbs.
Jiang Shouye took a look and saw that they were all expensive items, and the cheapest one cost several hundred taels of silver.
But for the health of my eldest daughter, I have to buy it no matter how expensive it is.
Jiang Shouye put the things away carefully. "Just tell someone to handle these trivial matters. Why rush over here so late?"
After a slight pause, Jiang Qingyue changed the subject and said softly, "Big sister has been bedridden for a long time. I know everyone in the family is worried about her health, so we take extra care of her and don't dare to be careless at all.
I heard there's a garden farm outside Jiangjiajing that's perfect for recuperation. I'd like to ask my parents for permission to take my elder sister there for half a month to recuperate after the New Year when it gets warmer."
Jiang Wanyin's eyes rippled slightly. She hadn't left the capital for many years, and she hadn't left this room for many years.
That garden farm was her favorite place to go when she was a child.
"no."
Jiang Shouye refused outright.
The light in Jiang Wanyin's eyes dimmed instantly, and she looked even more tired than before.
"The roads outside Beijing are bumpy and difficult to travel. Wanyin's body definitely can't handle it."
Mrs. Jiang also looked worried, "Yes, Wanyin can't even get out of bed, how can she get in and out of the carriage?
Not to mention being on the road, even if I were to fall ill in the village, even the imperial physician wouldn’t be able to get there in time.”
Mother Xu outside the door felt a little sorry for the eldest daughter. She had been bedridden for years and finally had the chance to go out for a walk. If she couldn't find a doctor, didn't she still have the third daughter?
He wanted to go in and speak to the young lady, but her hand was held by her.
Jiang Wanyin gave a bitter smile and said, "No need, her father would not let her go out."
Keep her alive, even if she dies, she can only die in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Inside the house, Jiang Shouye had already made a decision.
"I'll find a way to get these herbs. As for Wanyin, she can't go anywhere and can only recuperate at home."
Although she knew they would not agree, Jiang Qingyue still felt a little disappointed.
My eldest sister's wedding is approaching, and you're not even allowing her to leave the house?
Does he truly love his elder sister, or does he like the elder sister who can join the royal family and act as a matchmaker for the Jiang family?
Power is really dazzling.
"I didn't think it through."
Jiang Qingyue showed a hint of apology, then took out the brocade box that had been beside her for a long time.
"Today, I went to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion. My aunt comforted me a lot, and I also figured out a lot. I've caused a lot of trouble these days, causing my parents to worry and hurting the Second Young Lady's heart."
"I'm truly ashamed that I can't cure the Second Young Lady's illness. Today, Que'er has offended the Second Young Lady again. This is my apology to her."
The palms and backs of one's hands are all made of flesh. If Qingyue could really accept Guiyu, Mrs. Jiang felt that the warehouse key being taken away would not be a big deal.
Everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious.
Jiang Guiyu frowned, feeling a little surprised and something was wrong.
Thinking that her parents were there and Jiang Qingyue would not dare to do anything to her, she opened the brocade box.
When Jiang Guiyu saw the pair of shoes inside, her face turned pale and she threw the box to the ground.
Jiang Shouye and his wife stood up suddenly, thinking that it was something shameful, but it turned out to be just a pair of shoes.
Jiang Guiyu was too guilty to look up, but his hands and feet couldn't help shaking.
She is avenging Que'er!
"Didn't the Second Miss lose a pair of shoes? I bought you a new pair. If you don't like them, there's no need to throw things on the ground."
A shoe rolled to the ground at Jiang Shouye's feet. He picked it up, examined it carefully, and finally threw it into Mrs. Jiang's arms with a cold face.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the shoes and felt very familiar with them. Aren’t they exactly the same pair that Guiyu lost today?
It was stolen by Jiang Qingyue's maid, Que'er.
Now, why did you buy a pair of exactly the same ones?
When he looked up, he happened to meet Jiang Qingyue's hurt eyes.
Mrs. Jiang was confused and wanted to pull Jiang Qingyue, but she dodged her.
"Qingyue, mother just..."
Jiang Qingyue's hurt expression only lasted for a moment, and then she returned to her usual cold and indifferent look.
"I heard that the second young lady's lost shoes were stolen by Que'er. She was very angry and punished Que'er. I guess the second young lady really liked these shoes."
"I felt bad, so I went to a lot of places and bought a pair of identical shoes as compensation to the second young lady. If the second young lady doesn't like them, then forget it, but there's no need to insult her like this."
"That girl is the same. I don't know why she stole a pair of shoes that didn't fit her."
"I grew up in the Northern Frontier. I've never used anything nice, and I don't know the etiquette of gift-giving. If the Second Young Lady refuses to accept it, does that mean she's unwilling to forgive me?"
Jiang Guiyu quickly shook his head, "No, I..."
"Guiyu, why are you so rude? Since Qingyue is giving it to you as compensation, just take it."
Mrs. Jiang said so, and in front of everyone, even if Jiang Guiyu resisted, he didn't dare to throw the shoes away.
"Miss, why don't you try them on? If they don't fit, just throw them away. I'll buy you new shoes of any style you like."
Jiang Qingyue looked at Jiang Guiyu with a serious gaze, a smile on her lips.
Jiang Guiyu felt a chill on his back.
Not to mention trying it on, she didn't even dare to touch it.
She stuck needles all over her shoes and made Que'er stand there as punishment. Que'er's feet must have been broken.
How could Jiang Qingyue be so kind as to give him shoes as an apology?
There is definitely something fishy going on.
Seeing how kind the sisters were, Madam Jiang also became happy, "Guiyu, try it now."
Mrs. Jiang had already spoken, and for the sake of family harmony, Jiang Guiyu knew that he had to try on the shoes himself today.
However, Jiang Qingyue would never be so stupid as to harm herself in front of her parents.
Thinking of this, Jiang Guiyu sat down again and asked the maid to help him change his shoes.
Mrs. Jiang took it first and put her hand into the shoe to feel it in front of Jiang Guiyu. "It's soft, so it shouldn't hurt your feet."
Seeing that there was no injury on her hand, Jiang Guiyu was obviously stunned.
And when I put on the shoes, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Are these shoes okay?
Jiang Guiyu was in a daze and didn't even hear what his parents said.
Outside the door, Jiang Wanyin had stood for too long and her face had turned pale.
Mother Xu was very anxious. Seeing that the Third Young Miss was fine, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Miss, it doesn't look like anything serious. It's freezing cold, and you can't handle it. I'll help you back home first."
Jiang Wanyin took a few glances inside and always felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't put it into words.
