Chapter 67: This is her shameful act
The father and daughter had just exchanged a few words when another servant from Haitang Garden came to ask for help, saying that Jiang Guiyu had fainted from the pain and asked Jiang Shouye to go over and take a look.
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Since the Second Miss is here to invite me, I will go back first."
She turned and left, and Jiang Shouye, who was in a dilemma, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the name suggests, Que'er will not stop talking until his little mouth has said enough.
"The young lady asked for such a great achievement, but the master didn't give her anything. How cold-hearted."
Jiang Qingyue chuckled.
What can the Jiang family be willing to give her?
Besides, she didn't want Jiang Shouye's things.
What she wanted was to push Jiang Guiyu, the Jiang family's most beloved, into the abyss step by step.
She knew Jiang Shouye best. Although profit was his top priority, how could she just abandon Jiang Guiyu, whom she had raised with great effort for so many years?
But small things gradually accumulate, and one day they will crush Jiang Guiyu.
In addition, there is a rift between father and daughter, and it is time for Jiang Guiyu to taste the feeling of being abandoned by her relatives.
Originally, as long as Jiang Guiyu behaved well, she had no opinion about Jiang Guiyu. After all, as others said, the person who swapped the children was Madam Jiang Er, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Guiyu who was still in the cradle.
Besides, Madam Jiang Er and Master Jiang Er had already died in the northern border.
But Jiang Guiyu insisted on provoking her, what could she do?
Then don't blame yourself for taking revenge or complaining.
Jiang Guiyu should have experienced the suffering and hardships she endured in the northern border.
…
Because Jiang Shouye was punished to kneel in the court, everyone in the Jiang family consciously spoke and acted carefully to avoid angering Jiang Shouye.
Jiang Mingyang, who loved to show off so much, didn't dare to make a noise and only chirped in front of Jiang Guiyu.
As agreed, Jiang Qingyue went to the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion to see patients every seven days. The rest of the time, she spent most of her time in Liuxiang Pavilion accompanying Jiang Wanyin.
That day, she had just walked outside Jiang Wanyin's boudoir when she heard Chu Hean's name mentioned in the room.
"...The Lunar New Year is only half a month away. Why did the Emperor ask him to return to his fiefdom now?"
Jiang Wanyin coughed twice and said, "The Holy Will is not something we can fathom."
Mother Xu comforted her while sighing, "Concubine Wan will definitely find a way to call him back. The Seventh Prince will be twenty-three next year. If he doesn't marry a princess, I'm afraid..."
"Let's take it one step at a time, ahem."
Jiang Wanyin's cough became more and more rapid. Jiang Qingyue didn't have time to think about it and hurried into the house.
After a few moments of acupuncture, Jiang Wanyin stopped coughing.
"Big sister just caught a cold. I gave her an acupuncture injection and she will feel better tonight."
Jiang Wanyin looked at her with a smile, "I finally made you a little fatter and whiter. A little taller, right? You've grown up, Qingyue is getting more and more beautiful."
Mother Xu laughed beside her and said, "What are you talking about, Miss? Miss Three is pretty to begin with."
Jiang Wanyin suddenly changed the subject and said, "Qingyue, have you personally visited the shop I gave you last time? You should also go and see the faces of those shopkeepers."
Jiang Qingyue has been busy running to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion recently and really forgot about this matter.
She agreed and chatted with Jiang Wanyin for a while before taking Que'er out.
As the year draws to a close, the city of Yanjing becomes more prosperous and bustling, a scene not found in the northern border areas.
The bird chirped and introduced the little things on the street to her, and was very happy.
Jiang Qingyue was pulled forward by her. When she was very interested, she heard someone talking at the wonton stall next to her.
"Have you heard about that? The daughter of the Jiang family at the end of the alley who was mistakenly taken away had many adulterers while she was a slave in the Northern Frontier."
"Not only that, I heard that he had an affair with someone and gave birth to a bastard."
"Oh my god, how shameless! How dare you come back? You'd rather die in the Northern Frontier and bring shame to Lord Jiang."
"Is this true?"
The old woman tutted her tongue. "What do you think? A beautiful young girl like her could have walked out of a place like that alive and well? She would have been played with by someone long ago."
"Luckily, our adopted daughter is outstanding. Not only is she as beautiful as Miss Jiang, but she is also intelligent and knowledgeable. She is deeply loved by the Empress in the Palace. Even the top scholar in the imperial examination is eager to marry her."
These people became more and more excited as they talked. Que'er, who was listening to all this dirty talk, became so angry that her face turned pale and her hands began to tremble.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Que'er rushed over and was about to argue with them.
The people who were discussing this turned around and looked the master and servant up and down, "Who are you?"
"Que'er!" Jiang Qingyue pulled Que'er closer, then put on a curious look and leaned forward. "Who are you talking about? You're having an affair with someone. You have no sense of shame."
When they heard that they were here to join in the gossip, they patted the stools beside them.
Jiang Qingyue grabbed a handful of birds, sat down, and listened attentively.
"Who else could it be? The Minister of Revenue, or the daughter that Lord Jiang just brought back home."
"I heard they took the baby away by mistake, so I came all the way here to bring him back. Who would have thought he would turn out to be such a piece of crap? I might as well not have brought him back.
Lord Jiang and his wife are so kind! If I had a daughter like this, I would beat her to death the very next day I got home."
Jiang Qingyue raised her eyebrows and said in a polite manner, "Oh, this is a serious matter that will tarnish someone's innocence. If you spread rumors, Lord Jiang will not let you go."
"I'm not talking nonsense." The old woman looked around and then lowered her voice, "I have a sister-in-law who works in the Jiang family's kitchen delivering food. I heard it from the Jiang family's maids and old women. How could this be false?"
Jiang Qingyue blinked, looking shocked. "So it's inside information, then it must be true."
"Of course not, this melon is authentic."
After listening to a few more sentences, Jiang Qingyue left with her maid.
Que'er felt sorry for Jiang Qingyue after hearing this, and gritted her teeth, "Miss, how can you tolerate this!"
Jiang Qingyue smiled indifferently. It was nothing, just a rumor. It didn't hurt at all and it wouldn't make her lose a piece of flesh.
Compared to the northern border, the darkness and pain we live in every day are not worth mentioning.
This news came from the Jiang family's backyard, and it was obvious who arranged it.
They were right. With her looks like this, how could she have come out of the North Mine clean and sound?
She has been dirty for a long time.
But after hearing this rumor, will the Seventh Prince still marry her?
She felt a little happy in her heart.
"Okay, forget about it. Rumors stop with the wise." Jiang Qingyue tilted her head and comforted Que'er. "Lead the way, let's go see my shop, young lady."
The bird opened its mouth, but then held back.
Is it necessary to have one of the two, being surrounded by rumors and being the Seventh Prince's concubine?
After walking for a while, Que'er was pointing at the shop in front of them, "Miss, this is the first one."
Jiang Qingyue looked up and saw the plaque hanging on the door of the shop with the words "Zhiyunxuan" written on it.
And inside is a cloth shop.
Such a great location, but you only sell cloth?
There is no one at the door, no business at all.
Jiang Qingyue frowned and took Que'er into the shop.
