Many people in the capital knew Jiang Yu, and they were all quite surprised to see him driving the carriage himself.
However, Jiang Yu usually appeared quite aloof when he was out and about, so even though those people recognized him, no one came up to him to make friends.
This saved them a lot of trouble.
Shen Xingmian couldn't help but think, "Sure enough, when you're out in the world, you have to create your own persona."
If you adopt an arrogant and aloof demeanor, you can avoid 80-90% of the trouble.
Thinking about it this way, being a bit aloof isn't so bad after all.
The Jiang family owns a mansion in the capital, or rather, their most valuable property is located there. They can go straight home now; there's no need to stay at an inn anymore.
When she first woke up, she only caught a fleeting glimpse of the General's Mansion and didn't have time to examine it closely. The Jiang Mansion, which she was about to visit, was probably the most luxurious house Shen Xingmian had ever stayed in since she arrived.
Yes, I lived there.
If we're talking about things she's seen, she's seen the imperial palace, but she can't live there openly.
She was only curious about these things, but she didn't crave them. After all, in her previous life, she would have been very satisfied with having a 50-square-meter apartment.
People who aren't very materialistic are more likely to be satisfied and happy.
After realizing this, Shen Xingmian felt that there was no need to compare herself with others in many ways. She should simply cherish what she had and what she needed most, and live happily.
Just like she is now.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Jiang family mansion, a servant immediately came forward and showered Jiang Yu with concern and inquiries.
Perhaps because the young master hadn't been home for so long, the servants were all incredibly enthusiastic.
Later, Jiang Yu impatiently waved them away, and they went about their own business.
However, before leaving, everyone secretly glanced at the two girls the young master had brought back, and couldn't help but wonder what their relationship was with him.
Given the young master's usual aloofness towards women, bringing home even one girl would be unprecedented, let alone two at once – it's truly jaw-dropping!
However, one of the girls is too young. She seems more suited to be the young master's daughter than his wife.
Looking at it this way, it seems more likely that the young mistress is someone else.
The entire martial arts world seemed to come alive, with everyone spreading the news and eager to inform the lady of the matter as soon as possible.
Everyone knows that the young master's marriage has become a major worry for the master and mistress, especially the old lady.
Throughout the entire capital, there wasn't a single man who, despite being over thirty, didn't even have a concubine and remained completely alone.
Because of this, the old lady of the Jiang family still harbored considerable resentment towards Shen Yunting.
She felt that if it weren't for her, her grandson, with such good qualities, would have already had many children and grandchildren, instead of being a lonely man in his thirties like he is now.
Later, Shen Yunting got married to a little-known scholar. No, it wasn't "married," it was "taken as a concubine."
This made her even angrier. How could her outstanding grandson be inferior to that scholar?
Later, seeing that the two had a mentally challenged child, he felt secretly relieved. If his own grandson had married that woman, the mentally challenged child might have been his great-grandson. What would have happened then!
After this incident, she no longer had high hopes for Jiang Yu's marriage.
In the capital, no family of any standing or reputation could possibly have a woman of marriageable age marrying into their household.
Madam Jiang was so worried that her hair turned white. Every day, she knelt on a prayer mat in the Buddhist hall, chanting sutras and praying for her beloved grandson, hoping that he could find his true love soon and have children for the Jiang family.
Despite Jiang Yu's repeated attempts to stop her, she continued to do as she pleased.
As for the second wife of the Jiang family, it has nothing to do with how many children she has. The children of a concubine are not worthy of being compared with her precious grandson.
Oh.
Today, Madam Jiang was still kneeling in the Buddhist hall chanting scriptures when she heard a commotion outside. Displeased, she scolded the maidservant serving her:
"Hurry up and go see what's all the commotion outside!"
Upon receiving the order, the nanny hurried out to check, then returned with a beaming smile to report, "Oh dear, the young master has returned, and he's brought two young ladies with him!"
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang immediately stopped kneeling and quickly reached out to have the nanny help her up, her tone urgent yet full of joy:
"Quick, quick, help me out to see what kind of girls Yu'er has brought back!"
She burned incense and chanted scriptures before the Buddha every day, praying only for the addition of a son to the household. Now that there was finally hope, how could she not be anxious?
Madam Jiang wished she could be twenty years younger, with more agile legs, so she could run even faster.
When Madam Jiang arrived at the front hall, she only saw a group of busy servants, but not her beloved grandson.
"Where are they? Where did everyone go?"
Although the question was not explicitly asked, everyone knew what the old lady was thinking. Naturally, the question was directed at her eldest son and the two girls he had brought back.
A sensible servant quickly replied, "Reporting to the old lady, the eldest young master has gone to the back courtyard to arrange bedrooms for the two young ladies."
"And what about those two young ladies? You can take a good look at them. What are their appearances like? And what are their character traits like?"
After asking the question, she muttered to herself, "Never mind, none of that matters, as long as my Yu'er is happy!"
After saying that, she quickened her pace with great effort, supported by her nanny, and headed towards the backyard.
Actually, she didn't need to be in such a hurry. After arranging the room, the first thing Jiang Yu wanted to do was naturally to pay his respects to her grandmother.
But she couldn't wait any longer; she had been waiting for this day day and night!
Madam Jiang was so eager to arrange the marriage immediately and prepare everything the child might need in the future.
At this moment, the three of them had just settled into their rooms and hadn't even had a sip of hot tea yet.
Jiang Yu had always been worried about one thing: if he revealed Rui Rui's name, some people who knew about it would inevitably start discussing the past behind his back.
Although those things really happened, he didn't want Rui Rui to be trapped in the past by rumors and gossip.
He wanted to do everything he could to prevent Rui Rui from being hurt again, but he didn't know how to bring it up with her and suggest that she change her identity.
He was afraid that this well-intentioned suggestion would only create distance between him and Rui Rui.
Jiang Yu was never an indecisive person, but when facing someone he liked, he inevitably had many concerns.
In particular, the person he loved had once contemplated suicide.
This was just getting a little better, and he was afraid of upsetting her again.
