Chapter 73 Rewards from the Marquisate
Jiang Guiyu's gaze then moved to Jiang Qingyue's clothes, and he couldn't help but ask Mrs. Jiang.
"Mother, is this Yuehua brocade? I heard that it takes four years to produce four pieces. Two are in the palace, and two are awarded to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion."
Mrs. Jiang nodded, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Jiang Qingyue usually dressed simply, but today she changed into a dress made of moonlight brocade. Every time she walked, the dress would show colorful pleats, as colorful as the moonlight.
The hairpin in her hair and the earrings that matched her skirt made her look even more gorgeous and charming.
After getting off the carriage, Jiang Qingyue glanced at Jiang Guiyu's feet.
Jiang Guiyu's heart sank and she quickly hid the toes of her shoes under her skirt.
Then he stirred the handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times.
"I almost couldn't recognize Sister Qingyue in this dress."
In a trance, Mrs. Jiang seemed to see herself when she was young.
It turned out to be her own child, and looked so much like her.
Jiang Qingyue bowed lightly, "Madam."
This address made Mrs. Jiang's heart turn cold again.
What about her biological child? She was not raised by her side since she was a child and she is not close to her.
"Are these gifts from your aunt?"
reward?
He Peilan said it was a gift, but she said it was a reward?
Jiang Qingyue didn't argue with her, but just nodded in agreement.
The driver received a reward from Jiang Qingyue, and also heard that she cured the old lady and the young lady's illnesses, so he couldn't stand Mrs. Jiang's tone, but he didn't want to offend the Jiang family either.
As the carriage from the Xuanping Marquis's residence left, Madam Jiang's expression turned slightly colder. "Qingyue, you're too ostentatious."
Jiang Qingyue glanced at Jiang Guiyu beside her. The second young lady, who usually wore gorgeous jewelry, was wearing simple and elegant clothes today, which was really surprising.
"Sister usually wears plain clothes, but she must be going to the Marquis' Mansion today, so she's dressed a little more formally."
After hearing this, Jiang Qingyue realized that they were going to question her outfit.
Jiang Guiyu is so considerate and always wants to explain things to others.
Looking at Jiang Qingyue's ostentatious outfit, Mrs. Jiang found it annoying no matter how she looked at it.
"Come in with me."
Mrs. Jiang frowned and looked at her deeply, then called Jiang Qingyue into the house.
As soon as she stepped into the front hall, Mrs. Jiang immediately started to make trouble.
"Qingyue, do you know your mistake?"
Jiang Qingyue's face showed no emotion, and her tone was as cold as ever.
"I don't know what mistake I made again."
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she imitated Jiang Shouye and slammed the table.
"You can greet a coachman with a smile, but you always keep a cold face towards me, your biological mother."
Greet the driver with a smile?
The carriage from the Marquis' Mansion brought her back, and she just said a few polite words. Does that count as a welcoming smile?
This is still considered nice. If Jiang Mingyang were present, who knows how much more nasty words he would say.
"Are you even listening to me?"
Mrs. Jiang was filled with anger and her tone suddenly became stern.
Jiang Qingyue looked at her without blinking, "Then what does Madam want from me?"
"you!"
Jiang Guiyu considerately soothed Madam Jiang, "Sister Qingyue, please don't make me angry. I'm doing this for your own good."
Jiang Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
For her own good?
The front hall is used to receive outside guests, while the main hall is used to receive close friends, relatives, or family members to discuss matters.
No matter how anxious Madam Jiang was and couldn't return to the main courtyard, she should have taken her to the main hall instead of confronting her in the front hall and making a fool of herself for the servants in the mansion.
"Don't think I don't know that your aunt's health has almost recovered, but you found an excuse to run to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
If someone were to spread something that would damage your innocence, how would you live your life in the future? "
Mrs. Jiang spoke earnestly, hoping that she could understand these principles.
"You are a daughter of the Jiang family. If the Jiang family is disgraced because of you, how can you bear this responsibility?"
Jiang Guiyu supported Madam Jiang and said at the right time, "Mother, I believe Sister Qingyue would not do such a thing."
"She won't? But she clearly already..."
"mother!"
Jiang Guiyu interrupted her, and Mrs. Jiang realized that she had spoken out of turn.
Jiang Qingyue chuckled softly, "Madam, have you also heard the rumors about me? Of course, the gossiper is right next to you, how could Madam not know?"
"So, as my mother, you also believe it?"
Jiang Qingyue looked at Jiang Guiyu, and Jiang Guiyu's heart skipped a beat and he covered his mouth and started coughing.
"Sister Qingyue, ahem, you need to admit your mistake to your mother... ahem, let's just let this matter go."
Jiang Qingyue sneered, "Admit your mistake? Shouldn't I be the one to admit my mistake?"
cough!
Jiang Guiyu's cough stopped abruptly.
She became nervous and felt that Jiang Qingyue seemed to know something.
"Qingyue, what's your attitude? Guiyu is just asking you to admit your mistake, so just do it obediently.
How...how did you develop this temper?!"
"My temper? I was raised in the Northern Frontier, so what?"
Mrs. Jiang's expression became subtle.
She just admitted it like that? Without even a single word of rebuttal?
How could the bitch from the second house raise her daughter like this!
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were full of disappointment.
She would be thankful if her daughter was as sensible as Gui Yu.
It's her indifferent look that really makes people angry.
"You still have the nerve to say that!"
"Why am I so embarrassed to say this? Is it my fault that I grew up in the Northern Frontier? Should I have been the one exiled and suffered three years ago? If it weren't for you..."
Bang!
Mrs. Jiang slapped Jiang Qingyue, who was caught off guard, and half of her cheek turned red instantly.
The hairpin on her head fell to the ground, and her hairpin was hanging diagonally in her hair. She looked extremely embarrassed.
Mrs. Jiang didn't expect that she would hit her impulsively, and she suddenly felt guilty and at a loss.
Jiang Qingyue raised her swollen face and swallowed the blood in her mouth, "Madam, are you trying to shut me up?"
Mrs. Jiang stood there in a daze, her lips trembling for a long time, but she felt like there was something stuck in her throat.
"Sister Qingyue, all the mistakes are my fault. I'm the one who usurped your identity. Ahem! I stole your father's love."
Jiang Guiyu covered her mouth and coughed, and as she spoke, her cough became more and more severe.
"Three years ago, it should have been... ahem... I should have gone to Northern Xinjiang. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been alive in this world."
"Then go die."
Jiang Qingyue's words made Mrs. Jiang furious.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Guiyu suddenly knelt down and said, "Dad and Mom, I can only repay you for your kindness in raising me in my next life."
After saying that, Jiang Guiyu banged his head against the wall.
"Return Jade!"
"Miss!"
Cuizhu, who happened to be standing there, blocked the attack with her body. Jiang Guiyu was only hit on the head, but Cuizhu was hit hard against the wall by the force of the impact and fainted.
Mrs. Jiang was so frightened that she almost fainted. She hugged Jiang Guiyu and cried bitterly, and asked someone to call Jiang Shouye and Jiang Mingyang who was out.
"Mom, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, this family wouldn't be in such a mess."
Jiang Guiyu seemed to be frightened. He hugged Mrs. Jiang tightly and cried so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
"My Guiyu, my daughter!"
