Chapter 4 How can fate play such tricks on people?
Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately came to her senses and wiped away her tears, "You are right."
She frowned slightly at the man in the guest seat and said, "Master Lu, if you have any objections to this marriage, we can discuss it again."
"My daughter, Guiyu, has been sickly since she was young. I raised her like the apple of my eye. Her father and I are not in a hurry to marry her off."
The man has outstanding looks, with the demeanor of a clear breeze and bright moon, and the shape of a white crane and a jade pine. He has always been known for his fairness, integrity and incorruptibility. He is a role model for many young talents and is always the focus of the crowd whenever he appears.
At this moment, everyone in the room noticed that he was absent-minded for a moment while staring at Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue just lowered her eyes quietly.
"Lord Lu?"
Only after Mother Wang reminded him did Lu Tingzhi come back to his senses.
His eyes moved and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Mrs. Jiang, you are worrying too much. Tingzhi has no objection to this marriage."
"It's just that the court intends to assign Tingzhi to handle snow disaster relief in the near future, so we have to postpone the wedding."
In an instant, Mrs. Jiang's frown relaxed.
But as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Jiang Qingyue again.
If that bitch from the second house hadn't swapped her child, Qingyue would have been the one getting such a good marriage.
Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt heartbroken.
How could fate play such a trick on us?
Hearing Lu Tingzhi's answer, Jiang Guiyu seemed relieved.
As soon as he said goodbye, she also stood up and said goodbye to Madam Jiang: "Mother, I will go back first."
Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she gave her many warnings and instructions.
After everyone left, Madam Jiang dared to stand up and held Jiang Qingyue in her arms: "Qingyue, Qingyue, it's your mother who is sorry for you."
After everyone in the room had left, she sobbed, "It wasn't that I didn't take you back three years ago. Back then, your father's official position was unstable, and I really didn't dare to make any mistakes. I could only ask you to replace Gui Yu."
"And Guiyu's body... really can't bear it."
"The palms and backs of my mother's hands are all made of flesh."
Jiang Qingyue held down Jiang's mother, a faint smile on her lips: "Mrs. Jiang, I'm out now."
For some reason, she was smiling. Mrs. Jiang looked at her hands covered with wounds and wondered how she could smile.
If I wasn't lucky, I wouldn't have encountered a new emperor ascending the throne and granting amnesty.
Qingyue will have to be a criminal slave in that bitter and cold place for a few more years.
"Madam, I want to go see my elder sister first."
Mother Jiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and nodded, "Your elder sister was always thinking of you when she was sick. Now that you're home, you should go see her."
Jiang Qingyue pretended not to see it, lowered her eyes, bowed, and stood up to leave.
…………
Que'er led the way, and when they arrived outside Liuxiang Pavilion, Jiang Qingyue suddenly hesitated.
She lowered her head and adjusted her clothes, fearing that any impoliteness would make her elder sister uncomfortable.
Que'er looked at her with a smile, "Miss, you are very good like this, there is nothing wrong with it."
As he was speaking, a person walked out quickly from Liuxiang Pavilion. It was Mother Xu who had been serving Jiang Wanyin.
When Mother Xu saw Jiang Qingyue at the door, with a face that looked like the eldest daughter, she couldn't help but burst into tears and held her hand tightly, shaking uncontrollably.
"This is... Miss Qingyue?"
In a moment, he noticed Jiang Qingyue's battered hands, and burst into tears, pulling her inside.
Before I even entered the room, I heard a hoarse cough, which was completely different from the two coughs I heard in the front hall.
Jiang Qingyue's heart sank and she rushed into the house.
Looking at the pale and lifeless woman lying on the bed, she froze in place.
On the way back, she heard that Jiang Wanyin was seriously ill, but she didn't expect that she was so seriously ill?
As I recall, I heard that Jiang Wanyin, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was already famous in the capital and a most talented woman with unparalleled beauty before she even reached the age of 15.
Now he is skinny, with eyes sunken, and only a skeleton remains.
There is no trace of the former glory anymore.
Jiang Wanyin raised her skinny hand and asked her to come over.
Only when she came up to her did Jiang Wanyin force a smile.
"Have you suffered? The Jiang family has wronged you. I apologize to you on behalf of mother and father."
After hearing this apology, Jiang Qingyue could no longer hold back her tears, which began to fall.
Ever since she could remember, she had been living in the mines in Northern Xinjiang. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was beaten and scolded while working.
There are still many people dying.
She thought her life would be like this, but in the end her adoptive mother told her that she had switched her because she couldn't bear to see her own daughter suffer.
She should have been the precious second daughter of the eldest wife, and she didn't have to live through those dark years.
Even if everyone knew the truth and knew that Jiang Guiyu was not their biological daughter, they still couldn't bear to let Jiang Guiyu suffer. They said that she was already accustomed to this kind of life and just had to endure it for a few more years.
She understood at that time that even though she was his biological daughter, after more than ten years of living together, they had already become a family.
In the past few years, only the eldest sister has been secretly helping and taking care of her.
But I didn't expect that when I saw Jiang Wanyin again, she was so seriously ill.
Jiang Qingyue wiped away her tears, took Jiang Wanyin's hand, and gently placed her fingers on her pulse.
"I haven't suffered much, but during these three years at the quarry, I've learned some superficial medical skills. I'll show you."
Jiang Wanyin was surprised: "Where do you find the time to study medicine?"
