Chapter 72 The Jiang Family Must Know Her Value
During these few days, Jiang Shouye ignored Jiang Guiyu, and even Mrs. Jiang used the excuse of a headache to go to Haitang Garden less often.
After Lu Tingzhi learned that his good intentions had led to bad consequences, he wanted to visit him several times.
Even though the house had been cleaned, Jiang Guiyu was still frightened. She was afraid that Lu Tingzhi would see those disgusting things, and was even more afraid of knowing how ugly her feet were. She could only find various excuses to refuse.
Jiang Guiyu had no one to complain to and could only talk to him.
She explained and confessed to Jiang Mingyang, and almost fainted from crying several times.
Jiang Mingyang appeared to have no problem, but secretly asked Mao Yuan to investigate.
The matter was not difficult to investigate. When Maoyuan reported back, the more he heard, the uglier Jiang Mingyang's face became.
"The Second Young Lady..."
“That’s enough!”
He shouted angrily, "Stop talking!"
He ran to Haitang Garden and saw Jiang Guiyu lying on the bed coughing violently, almost falling down.
"elder sister!"
He helped Jiang Guiyu up, his eyes red with heartache.
"Why are you so cold?"
He looked up and saw that there were only three charcoal braziers in the room, and there was no warmth at all.
He wanted to ask the servants to bring two more charcoal basins, but then he thought of Jiang Qingyue's words and gave up.
"Sister Guiyu, please bear with it for now. Tomorrow will be the fourth day. By then, your leg injury will be healed and the house will be warm again."
Jiang Guiyu, who had been coughing, took a long time to recover and smiled weakly at him.
"My parents blame me. Do you also think I'm vicious? Everyone hates me and doesn't want me anymore."
Jiang Mingyang softened his heart all of a sudden.
How could Sister Guiyu have such a vicious mind?
His sister Guiyu is the best sister in the world!
Someone must have taught her bad things.
It must be!
No, Jiang Qingyue is definitely not innocent in this matter.
Jiang Mingyang would never believe that she hadn't done it.
Doesn’t she just want to sow discord between Sister Guiyu and her parents?
The most vicious person is obviously her, Jiang Qingyue.
After leaving Haitang Garden, Jiang Mingyang went straight to the restaurant and drank half a jar of wine.
"Have you heard? There's a heavy snowstorm in Jizhou, and many refugees have come from outside the city."
"Are there still refugees who dare to stay outside Yanjing City? This is under the feet of the emperor."
"If you can't even afford to live, who cares if Yanjing City is under the emperor's feet?"
…
Listening to the argument in the next room, Jiang Mingyang suddenly had an idea.
He ran back home and told this to Jiang Guiyu, who had just changed his medicine.
"Father and mother just listened to Jiang Qingyue's instigation. I know very well that you have always been kind-hearted. Why don't we go to the outside of the city to give out porridge and help these people? That way, both father and sister will have a good reputation."
On the fourth day, Jiang Guiyu waited for a long time, but his parents still didn't come.
Jiang Guiyu's voice trembled with grievance, "Cuizhu, did you forget to tell me that I can remove the gauze today, so my parents don't know?"
"My lady, I have already said so."
But the master won't come, and he won't allow the lady to come.
"What about Mingyang?"
Cuizhu lowered her head. "Master Mingyang went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet. Miss, are we going to remove the gauze?"
Jiang Guiyu gritted his teeth and said, "Tear it down."
After the bandages on both feet were removed, the injuries were indeed healed.
Unlike the thick layer of scab last time, this time it was just a thin layer and didn't look serious.
Jiang Guiyu had to admit that Jiang Qingyue's medical skills were indeed amazing.
At the same time, Jiang Guiyu felt uneasy.
Jiang Shouye was obviously disappointed in her, and although Mrs. Jiang also loved him, if he didn't do something, she would definitely have the same attitude as Jiang Shouye.
Now, she must let the Jiang family know her value.
A few days later, it was time for Jiang Qingyue to go to the Marquis' Mansion again.
After several treatments, Xie Shuyan's temperament gradually became cheerful again, and He Peilan cried with joy several times.
Seeing that she was dressed simply and elegantly, He Peilan immediately asked someone to bring the hair ornaments that had just been made a few days ago, and instructed Yin Yao to re-do her makeup and even change her clothes.
Finally, she personally put on Jiang Qingyue's head a delicate pearl eight-treasure hairpin, pinned a cloud-like bun with a flower-like golden hairpin on her right side, changed the earrings into purple jade hibiscus earrings, and also stuffed a tortoise shell bracelet inlaid with gold jewels on her.
He Peilan picked up the last high-quality round green lotus jade disk and was about to give it to Jiang Qingyue, but Jiang Qingyue politely declined her kindness.
"Aunt, I really can't carry anything else on me, so I don't want the jade pendant anymore."
She wanted to take off the bracelet, but it was the same size as the jade bracelet on her other hand, so she couldn't take it off once she put it on.
Seeing that she was trying hard to take off the bracelet, He Peilan thought she didn't like it.
"Jin Yao, go get my carved Hetian jade bracelet. It looks more delicate, you're sure to like it."
Jiang Qingyue's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she hurriedly pulled her hand and persuaded her: "Aunt, that's not what I meant. It's just that these are too valuable. I can't accept them."
"You already call me aunt, so why wouldn't I be afraid to accept something I'm giving to my niece?"
He Peilan stuffed the jade pendant into her hand and said, "Wear it like this next time. If you don't obey, your aunt will be angry."
She was delayed a little longer today, and the Jiang family's carriage had already gone back.
He Peilan asked the mansion to prepare a carriage to take Jiang Qingyue home.
Jiang Qingyue left the Xuanping Marquis Mansion wearing this outfit. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that it was Xie Lingyun riding a horse towards me.
Xie Lingyun had already dismounted and was looking her up and down.
When they come, they wear simple clothes; when they leave, they wear gold and silver.
And smiling so happily.
Can you be so happy with some gold, silver and jewelry?
You only care about money, right?
Since the last incident at the restaurant, Jiang Qingyue has never seen Xie Lingyun again.
Seeing his sour face now, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but wonder if he was holding back his anger that day and couldn't find a place to vent it.
As a young person, she can understand.
"Just leaving like that?"
Jiang Qingyue took two steps back, putting some distance between them and him. "It's getting late, I don't want to bother you."
Xie Lingyun approached step by step, forcing Jiang Qingyue to retreat again and again.
Her eyebrows jumped violently. What was he doing?
She stopped and looked straight at Xie Lingyun.
Xie Lingyun reached out and casually flicked the hairpin on Jiang Qingyue's head. "There are quite a few refugees coming from outside the city. You are so ostentatious, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"
Xie Lingyun's cold voice reached her ears. She was about to explain, but Xie Lingyun had already entered the Marquis' Mansion.
Her outfit was indeed a bit ostentatious.
Jiang Guiyu's injuries have healed for several days. He has been trying to please Mrs. Jiang these days and has been considerate and sensible. Mrs. Jiang is very distressed about him.
"Mom, it's Sister Qingyue who's back."
Jiang Guiyu had just finished speaking when the carriage stopped right in front of him.
The Xuanping Marquis Mansion was wealthy, and Xie Lingyun had earned a lot of military merits and received many rewards, making the Xuanping Marquis Mansion even richer.
Just the carriage itself is many times better than the one in their Shangshu Mansion.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Jiang Qingyue got out of the carriage holding up her skirt.
Seeing her outfit, the luxurious jewelry and head ornaments, and the jade with precise color and texture, both Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Guiyu were stunned.
