Chapter 45: Pick the leftovers and send them over
Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Before the servant could return to the main courtyard, he ran into Xie Lingyun who had just returned home, "Young Master."
Xie Lingyun raised his eyes and asked, "Are you going to the Jiang Mansion to deliver medicine?"
The servant nodded and explained the mistake of delivering the wrong medicine.
When Xie Lingyun heard that Jiang Mingyang was going to give those medicinal herbs to Jiang Guiyu, his eyes turned cold.
They even dared to take possession of the things in the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion.
The Jiang family, one after another, really can’t raise any good birds.
"You don't need to tell mother about these things. You just need to report back and deliver the things."
After the servant left, Cang Yi came in bowing.
"Prince, do we need to send two people to Yuehuaxuan to keep an eye on it?"
Xie Lingyun said in a low voice, "No need. My cousin has many tricks up her sleeve. Don't try to steal the chicken but end up losing the rice."
Cang Yi's eyes flashed with doubt. Miss Qingyue was weak and unable to take care of herself, and she was beaten like that. Wouldn't she be bullied by anyone?
The prince might be biased.
But the Xuanping Marquis Mansion didn't care, but someone in the Jiang family did.
Mrs. Jiang came back a little late, and was invited to Jiang Guiyu's courtyard as soon as she entered the mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Jiang Mingyang started to complain.
When Mrs. Jiang heard that the medicinal herbs were brought to Haitang Garden and then sent to Yuehuaxuan, her face immediately turned cold.
"Mom, if you don't take care of it, Sister Guiyu will be bullied to death."
"Shut up."
Mrs. Jiang's scolding stunned Jiang Mingyang.
"Mom, why are you still scolding me?"
"Scolding you is still too mild."
Madam Jiang raised her finger and poked Jiang Mingyang on the forehead. "These are the herbs that the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion sent to Yuehuaxuan, asking Qingyue to treat your aunt. How could you take them privately?"
Jiang Mingyang knew he was in the wrong and stopped talking.
"It's all my fault. Brother Mingyang was just thinking about replenishing my body and didn't know that those things were to be sent to Yuehuaxuan.
Fortunately, Sister Qingyue took the things back, otherwise, I would have become a sinner."
Mrs. Jiang immediately sat next to Jiang Guiyu, took her hand and called her "good daughter" several times.
"When I get better, I will apologize to Sister Qingyue."
"We are all sisters, what's the point of saying apology?"
Jiang Guiyu said nothing, but just shed tears silently, occasionally accompanied by a few light coughs.
Mrs. Jiang was heartbroken.
"Mom just bought some jewelry, it's perfect for you."
She ordered the maid to bring the jewelry, but the maid fell to her knees and said, "Madam has already told others to send those jewelry to Yuehuaxuan."
Mrs. Jiang was stunned, and then she remembered that she had originally wanted to buy those jewelry for Jiang Qingyue.
She thought that Jiang Guiyu had so many jewelry, but Jiang Qingyue didn't even have anything presentable.
When I go to the Marquis Xuanping’s Mansion again, I can’t be so shabby.
Jiang Guiyu shed two more tears and tightly clenched the handkerchief at her lips.
"I already have a lot of jewelry, I can't ask for my mother's things anymore. I have usurped Qingyue's identity and the love of my parents and brother. I can't compete with Qingyue anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are all my daughters, there is no difference between you."
Mrs. Jiang immediately ordered the maid to bring the jewelry, pick out two pieces for Jiang Guiyu first, and then send the rest to Jiang Qingyue.
The things had been delivered to the gate of Qingfeng Garden. Que'er was about to go to receive them, but before she reached the gate, the maid was called away again.
Que'er chased after him, "Isn't this something for my young lady? Why did you take it away again?"
The maid was also confused.
The lady asked her to bring it over as soon as she entered the mansion, so why is she asking her to take it back now?
Although some servants had been replaced when they came to deliver the message to Begonia Garden, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the second young lady was still the favored one.
These servants are the ones who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak, and they always look down on the sky when they speak.
"Madam said that these things should be taken to Haitang Garden first, and the rest should be sent back to the Second Miss after she has picked them out."
Que'er was so angry that she almost died. This was definitely not what the lady meant.
She reached out to take the thing, but the maid snatched it away first and turned away.
Que'er came back angrily and told Jiang Qingyue about these things.
Jiang Qingyue smiled. She herself was not interested in these things.
I don't want to compete with Jiang Guiyu for it.
I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect Jiang Guiyu to actually pick up two items and ask someone to send the rest back.
Knowing that she had offended Jiang Qingyue, the maid didn't dare to stay any longer. She put down her things and ran away.
Que'er was so angry that she almost cried.
Jiang Qingyue looked at the remaining jewelry on the table and smiled sarcastically.
It is really petty to tamper with these matters.
"Don't be angry, I'll avenge you later."
Que'er sniffed and wiped it roughly. Really?
Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything and continued with the work in her hands.
After a while, the maid guarding the door said that Jiang Shouye was coming.
"I heard that the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion sent some medicinal herbs?"
As soon as he came in, Jiang Shouye first saw the medicine-making supplies, and finally saw a table full of medicinal materials.
“When will you be able to do it?”
Jiang Shouye said these two sentences as soon as he entered the door. Although it was a follow-up question, his tone was better than ever.
Not entirely.
Three years ago, when he persuaded Jiang Qingyue to stay in the Northern Frontier and suffer for his adopted daughter, his tone was even more attentive and kind than it is now.
"Hurry up, we should be able to finish it before 3 p.m. tomorrow."
Jiang Shouye was even more satisfied.
After praising him for a few words, Jiang Shouye was about to go back.
Jiang Qingyue stopped him for a moment, but pointed at the jewelry that had not yet been delivered, "This, please send it back to Haitang Garden, Master Jiang."
Jiang Shouye was somewhat dissatisfied with this address, but he also knew that Jiang Qingyue had some grievances against them.
"Why send it to Haitang Garden?"
"I've lived a hard life in the Northern Frontier, so I don't need these things. The Second Young Miss has been raised in seclusion since she was a child, so she should like these things very much. In that case, please help me send them back, Lord Jiang."
After saying that, she turned around and continued to prepare the herbs.
But Que'er fell to her knees with a thud, crying bitterly.
"Master, you have to make a decision for the young lady. Today, the fourth young master Jiang mistakenly gave these herbs to the second young lady. These are the herbs from the Marquis' Mansion. We dare not give them to the second young lady for her recovery. We have brought them back."
"Just now, Madam sent over some jewelry. The items were already at the door, but the maid from Haitangyuan came and snatched the jewelry back, saying that our young lady only deserved to use the jewelry left by the second young lady. She said that after the second young lady had picked out the jewelry she didn't want, she would let our young lady choose. Isn't this bullying?"
Jiang Shouye looked at the warm jade bracelet on Jiang Qingyue's wrist, and naturally knew what had happened in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
His face darkened and he really took those things and left.
There was laughter in the Begonia Garden.
Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised to see him coming.
"Master, have you finished your official duties?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shouye threw the jewelry in front of her.
"Look what you've done."
Mrs. Jiang was startled and took a step back.
Jiang Guiyu's heart skipped a beat. "Dad, this is all my fault."
She had just said one sentence when Jiang Shouye's cold eyes swept over her.
Jiang Guiyu was obviously startled.
"Dad, why are you so angry with Sister Guiyu?"
Jiang Shouye turned to look at Jiang Mingyang, who immediately shut up.
He had just come out of the ancestral hall and didn't want to kneel back in.
He promised Sister Guiyu not to get into trouble and that he would stay by her side to support her.
"Since these jewels have been delivered to Yuehuaxuan, why are you taking them back? Are you jealous of Qingyue for getting the herbs back, so you want to do the same and embarrass Qingyue?"
"You even let Guiyu pick out the leftovers and send them over. Are you treating me like a beggar?"
Jiang Shouye did not give his wife any chance to explain.
"I asked you to treat everyone equally, and this is how you treat them? Is the Jiang family so short of money that they can't even support their own daughter?
If you can't manage the household, you won't have to manage it in the future."
