"Miss Jiang Er" Wang Qiaozhen was dumbfounded, wondering about Jiang Yushan.
"How, how is this possible?"
The old butler stood at the bottom of the steps, wiping his sweat off his face. He hesitated and replied, "This old servant was surprised, too. But there is indeed a carriage parked at the door. The maid claimed that the person in the carriage is the Second Madam's sister. As for who is in it, I haven't seen it yet. I dare not be rude and will report it immediately."
Since becoming a widow, Wang Qiaozhen had grown increasingly bored each year. She was feeling rather bored, but upon hearing that Jiang Yushan was coming to visit, she was instantly excited. She smiled and hurried down the stairs. "How strange! She's coming to visit from such a distance! It's impossible!"
"Please go slowly and be careful on the steps." The old butler bowed and led the way.
But after a few steps, Wang Qiaozhen suddenly stopped, clapped her hands, and said, "No, that's not right." She turned around and hurried up the stairs, saying cheerfully, "I'm confused. It's rare for Miss Jiang to come all this way. The good news should be told to her sister as soon as possible."
"Yes." The old butler was waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
So, when Jiang Yushu was playing with the grandparents, she suddenly saw Wang Qiaozhen approaching quickly and said with a smile:
"Yushu, I have good news for you. You will definitely be happy to hear it."
Wang leaned against the low couch, stroking her grandson's back with her left hand, and asked cheerfully, "Can I hear some good news?"
Jiang Yushu sat beside the couch, protecting the child, fearing that he would fall to the ground if he turned over. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly."
Wang Qiaozhen stared at her sister-in-law and replied with a smile, "Your sister is here."
younger sister
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both stunned. Jiang Yushu asked in astonishment, "Is it my sister Yushan?"
"Oh my! Could it be that you have a second sister?" Wang Qiaozhen was overjoyed. She pulled her wrist and urged, "Let's go, hurry up! The housekeeper said the carriage is parked at the door. Let's go and take a look. Maybe the servants made a mistake."
"This, this..." Jiang Yushu was confused and was pulled up. She couldn't come back to her senses for a while. She thought to herself that her biological sister, the real Miss Jiang, had been reincarnated long ago, and she had nothing to do with Jiang Yushan.
The baby was confused and realized that his playmate was missing. He supported his body with his elbows, twisted his waist hard, raised his head and babbled a few times.
Jiang Yushu calmed herself down, pulled her hand back, bent down and moved the child to the side of the couch, and coaxed, "You chat with grandma first. Mom will be out for a while and will be back soon."
"Strange, your sister..." After so many years and so far away from each other, Wang thought she would never see her again in this life. She was shocked and a little confused. "Yu, Yu Shan, she actually came..."
I'm wondering too. Jiang Yushu opened her mouth, thought for a moment, and answered, brushing her hair sideways, "I'll go out and see for myself."
Wang nodded and ordered, "Go, go and see what's going on."
"Oh." Jiang Yushu nodded, and walked towards the door with Wang Qiaozhen in surprise.
At the gate of Xuyouyuan
A team of bodyguards guarded the carriage. As they were unfamiliar with the area, the master and his two servants sat in the carriage waiting, not daring to act rashly.
In order to look radiant, Jiang Yushan took a few days off to recuperate, got up early, and dressed up carefully before getting on a car to visit her relatives in Guangchang Lane.
"No one came out to pick me up for a long time. Maybe they made a mistake?" Jiang Yushan was worried and asked, "Does the Guo family live here?"
The two maids were apprehensive. Xiaoli answered hesitantly, "Heqin County isn't very big. The escorts have made careful inquiries. Because the eldest daughter is a court lady, she's quite famous in Xicang. People nearby say the Guo family lives in Guangchang Lane."
The female official snorted, saying that it was all because of her husband's influence, and she herself was nothing special. Jiang Yushan was full of disdain and said coldly, "If the information is wrong, the escort leader will not get the reward."
The next moment, the maid Xiaoxi lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out nervously, just in time to see Zou Gui running out of the courtyard door.
After many years, Zou Gui has grown taller, but his appearance has not changed much.
"Miss, yes, the Guo family lives here." Xiaoxi's eyes lit up and she tilted her head to say, "I saw the servant of Mr. Guo, the one you said had protruding ears and looked like a monkey."
Before and after the engagement, Jiang Yushan and Guo Honglei met several times under the arrangement of their elders, so the servants of both sides probably knew each other.
In fact, Jiang Yushan couldn't forget every little detail about Guo Honglei. She perked up and said with emotion, "Oh, that clever little servant who was as clever as a monkey. I remember him."
Then, Xiaoxi, who was lying on the window, happily reported, "Look, big girl, the big girl is coming out."
Jiang Yushan suddenly became full of fighting spirit. She quickly sat up straight with her back straight. Her ten fingernails were freshly painted with nail polish and placed on her knees. Her little finger was sharp and bright red.
Cuimei supported him closely, and Zou Gui usually followed him.
Jiang Yushu stepped out of the doorway and stood on the steps, two feet away, facing the unfamiliar carriage and the escorts. She looked carefully, calm and unhurried, and whispered, "Xiao Zou, go ask."
"Yes." Zou Gui bowed and ran straight towards the escort leader.
The Jingyang Marquisate had fallen into decline, and the once noblewoman had lost the protection of her grand estate. Wang Qiaozhen was no longer the consort of a prince, never leaving the house. Her mother-in-law didn't blame her for occasionally appearing in public. She approached, shoulder to shoulder with her sister-in-law, and asked with suppressed excitement, "Is that really Yushan in that car? It's truly astonishing."
Jiang Yushu sighed, "We'll know soon."
"Yushan is coming to visit, but she didn't tell you in advance?" Wang Qiaozhen stared at her sister-in-law.
The incident happened suddenly, and Jiang Yushu had no time to deal with her sister-in-law. She was distracted and answered casually, "We are thousands of miles apart, and letters are often delayed."
"So, you didn't know about it in advance," Wang Qiaozhen pretended to be surprised and watched the show leisurely.
In public, Jiang Yushu didn't want to talk about her so-called relatives. She took a deep breath, walked down the stairs and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Hahaha, you must be feeling uncomfortable, Wang Qiaozhen laughed secretly.
Zou Gui trotted back and briefly reported, "Madam, that group of people are escorts from the capital. The escort leader said that the employer in the carriage is indeed Miss Jiang Er."
Jiang Yushu stopped half a foot away from the carriage and said, "Oh," she said calmly. But Wang Qiaozhen couldn't wait to see the show and asked loudly, "Is there the second lady in the carriage? If so, why hasn't she gotten off yet?"
In the carriage
Jiang Yushan sat there with a grim expression. She had been confident that her sister would greet her warmly, but unexpectedly, there was no movement for a long time. Finally, she heard the voice of the former Crown Prince's wife.
After two months of traveling, they finally arrived at the destination. The two maids were overjoyed and whispered, "Miss, please get off the car."
Jiang Yushan gritted her teeth and put on a weak expression, "Yeah."
In a moment, the curtain opened, and Xiaoxi and Xiaoli got out first. They immediately turned around and helped Jiang Yushan get out. The sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she was naturally proud and unwilling to be outdone. She had exquisite makeup, a light yellow dress, and a jade headpiece, looking gorgeous and pretty.
"Yo"
Wang Qiaozhen smiled, walked over quickly, and shook the distant visitor's hand affectionately. "So it really is you! When your sister and I heard the announcement just now, we thought the servants had made a mistake."
Jiang Yushan knelt down and bowed her head, bowing respectfully, "Yushan greets Madam."
"Get up quickly, no need to be so polite," Wang Qiaozhen said enthusiastically, glancing at her sister-in-law out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Yushu, who had gone without makeup to take care of her child, wore a simple, elegant blue dress that accentuated her fair skin and naturally rosy lips. Her features were beautiful, her demeanor dignified and capable. She approached slowly, her doubts swirling in her mind.
The sisters looked at each other. Because Pei was taller than Xu, the elder sister was taller than the younger sister. Jiang Yushu lowered her eyes, with fear and curiosity, looking down at Miss Jiang's half-sister.
"Sister," Jiang Yushan pulled her hand away from Wang Qiaozhen's and moved closer excitedly.
A dozen people watched quietly. The escorts crossed their arms, having not yet received their final payment. The servants of the Guo residence stood by with their hands hanging down, all of them murmuring.
"Sister," Jiang Yushan's eyes were red, and tears flashed in the blink of an eye. She looked up at her sister. How could it be that she didn't look old at all, her skin was even whiter and more delicate than mine?
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her face almost changed on the spot. She bit her lip to maintain her sadness and asked with a choked sob, "It's been many years since we last met. Are you, are you okay?"
She had heavy makeup and good facial features, so she was considered a beauty. Jiang Yushu calmly commented that it was their first meeting, and since they had a past grudge, she couldn't squeeze out a single tear. She replied politely with a smile, "Not bad. My sister, you've come all this way, thank you for the hard work." After saying that, she frowned and looked into the carriage, "Are you alone?"
Jiang Yushan shed tears, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, sobbed, and answered irrelevantly, "Actually, I've been worried about you and have wanted to come visit for a long time."
"That's thoughtful." Jiang Yushu smiled, but suddenly felt a sense of urgency. She thought to herself, two months ago, her father had mentioned in a letter that her sister would be getting married in August. How could the elders allow their daughter, who was about to get married, to go to the frontier? Could it be that Jiang Yushan had run away from her parents?
"Okay, let's talk inside." Wang Qiaozhen greeted enthusiastically, "Come on, quickly move the second lady's luggage into the guest room."
"Yes." The maids and servants accepted the order, but only took a few bags out of the carriage.
Seeing this, Jiang Yushu immediately decided to hire a bodyguard. It was unreasonable for her to bring only two maids and very little luggage. She was most likely running away from home.
"Sister" Jiang Yushan's eyes were red as she stretched out her hand to touch her.
Jiang Yushu naturally didn't like getting close to strangers, so she avoided them without leaving any trace. She cheered up and asked, "What did you and the escort agency agree on? They have been standing there for a long time. What are they waiting for?"
The escort leader was very sharp-eared and answered loudly, "We are waiting for the reward to escort you thousands of miles. If you can deliver us safely, we can earn some hard-earned money to support our families. Please pay us the reward as promised."
Who are you referring to?
If the other party was a close family member, Jiang Yushu would have no choice but to do her best to take care of them. However, there was a deep hatred between the sisters. When the enemies met, she did not show any resentment. She asked knowingly, "Sister, what did father arrange? You should do as father arranged and give them the reward."
"I" had a long journey, and Jiang Yushan didn't know how to be frugal, so she had already spent most of her money. She fully expected her sister to be tolerant and help her, but she was stunned by the question and stood there awkwardly.
No one spoke for a moment, and more than a dozen eyes turned to the employer.
Hahaha, they really are not getting along. Wang Qiaozhen suppressed her laughter and watched the fun.
Jiang Yushu's eyes were bright and she exuded a heroic spirit. "Hmm"
My sister has changed. Her appearance remains the same, but her words and actions are like a stranger. Jiang Yushan was embarrassed when the sound of wheels rolling and horse hooves suddenly rang out in the alley.
"Gee." Guo Honglei led a team of carriages and horses, and after traveling for several days, he rushed home exhausted.
The wheels rumbled, and the horses with horseshoes on their backs stomped on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp "clacking" sound.
After a while, Guo Honglei came closer and closer, his brows knitted, and he looked at the strange escorts with swords in doubt. He rode his horse slowly and then found his wife and sister-in-law behind the carriage, as well as...
That's the second girl.
