In fact, Jiang had already thought about it. Even if Jiang Sui was not her biological daughter, she would still recognize her as her own daughter.
However, this assumption is obviously not true. She is, there is no doubt about it. The only thing missing is the truth.
"Silly child, when we return to Kyoto, let your father announce your identity to the public and recognize you as your own. As for Cheng Xueyun, she has enjoyed the life that originally belonged to you for eighteen years. She will no longer be the legitimate daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. I originally thought that even if I recognized you as my own, I would still be willing to raise her under my knees, but now, all of this is caused by her mother's selfish desires, and I can no longer treat her equally.
After that, your father and I will find her a family to marry far away. What her mother did had nothing to do with her, and I don’t want to embarrass her, but it will be hard to go back to the way things were before.”
She couldn't let go of what Ji Rou had done, and even felt alienated from Cheng Xueyun.
It can be said that there has been a rift between them since Jiang Sui came back.
No matter how Jiang Sui decided to deal with Cheng Xueyun, she was not innocent anyway.
But the saying that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run is indeed true.
She just felt sorry for the original owner and felt it was not worth it.
"I'll follow my mother's arrangements."
Jiang Sui couldn't ask Cheng Xueyun to die, right? If she died, would the missing eighteen years come back?
"Child, you are so sensible." She reached out and touched Jiang Sui's face.
The Xiao family arranged a guest room for Cheng Moyang. He was exhausted from the journey and had barely had a bite of hot food along the way.
Xiao's mother asked someone to prepare hot water for him to bathe, and asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal.
However, what Cheng Moyang wants to do most now is to meet his sister and apologize to her in person.
After he had packed up, he went to wait outside his mother's room, and Jiang Sui just came out.
When the brother and sister met, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Cheng Moyang was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start, so Jiang Sui took the initiative to call him:
"elder brother!"
This sweet call of "brother" simply melted his heart.
Cheng Xueyun also called him brother every day, calling him brother all the time, but it was far from making him happy and excited as he was now.
"Sister?" He called out tentatively, but felt it was not a good idea, so he added another sentence.
"How about I call you Sui Sui too?"
"It's all right, whatever comes to your mind, brother."
The brother and sister are still a little polite to each other now, after all, they are not very familiar with each other.
"Okay, let's call him Sui Sui. This name is really good. May you be safe and sound every year."
"That day in Baixi Garden, I helped Cheng Xueyun bully you. You weren't angry, were you?"
He was afraid that because of this incident, Sui Sui would have a grudge against him and would no longer be close to him.
Jiang Sui found it funny. She couldn't help laughing. Seeing how nervous he looked, he wondered if he thought she was holding a grudge.
"Brother didn't do anything wrong, why should I be angry? Besides, you didn't know we were siblings at the time, and you didn't help Cheng Xueyun do anything wrong. Brother handled it very well."
At that time, she thought he was a good person. At least he was not as arrogant and domineering as Cheng Xueyun, and he could still humble himself and apologize to them.
"real?"
"Of course it's true!"
Cheng Moyang heaved a sigh of relief after confirming it repeatedly. As long as she was not angry with him, it would be fine.
"When I first saw you, I thought you were very kind. You looked so much like mother when she was young. I mentioned it to mother after I went back. But I didn't expect that fate would be so magical. After many twists and turns, our family was finally reunited. We will definitely compensate you in the future. You have suffered a lot outside these years. If you want anything, be sure to tell me and I will do everything I can to find it for you."
He said it seriously and solemnly, as if he was swearing an oath.
"Then if I want the stars and the moon in the sky, will you pick them for me, brother?" She teased him deliberately.
Cheng Moyang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly:
"This may be a bit difficult..."
Jiang Sui was amused by him again. What do you mean by a bit difficult? It's harder than climbing to the sky.
Judging from his expression, could it be that he really wants to give it a try?
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, brother. I heard from mother that she is extremely worried about your marriage. Why don't you fulfill her wish as soon as possible?"
In her spare time, Jiang complained to her several times, saying that her brother was already over the age of coming of age, but was still not interested in her marriage. She was very anxious about this and had introduced her to many daughters of wealthy families, but he was not interested in any of them.
Cheng Moyang passed the military examination. He holds an official position in the city defense camp and has a relatively leisurely life.
Don't be fooled by his elegant and gentle appearance, which may make people think that he is taking the literary examination. In fact, it is not the case. He is a martial arts expert, and beneath his gentle appearance, he has a warm and chivalrous heart.
If he wasn't the only prince in the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, he would have left for the ends of the earth with his sword long ago.
"Marriage is a big deal, and it requires both parties to like each other. Parents' orders and matchmakers' words can at most make the couple respect each other, but it is difficult to treat each other as equals. Unless they like each other, their future life will be easy, just like my father and mother, they have a mutual affection and can walk together in such love without doubt."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Moyang's thoughts are not old-fashioned at all, but rather very open-minded.
What he meant was to advocate free love.
Fortunately, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion does not value family background. Since he wants to be in love with her, let him do it.
But, if there is no movement even if he is left alone, won’t his parents be worried?
"Brother is right. I wish you can find your soulmate soon and get what you want."
He didn't know who his future sister-in-law would be. Anyway, if he married into the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, he would definitely live a good life. His future parents-in-law would be easy to talk to. His sister-in-law had already married and was not the kind of person who would cause trouble.
"Then I'll borrow Sui Sui's auspicious words."
The conversation between the two outside was heard clearly by Jiang in the room. Seeing that the brother and sister had such a good relationship, she felt relieved.
The next day, due to lack of time, Xiao's father took his four sons back to Qinghe County to look for the ancestral home and worship their ancestors.
The female family members didn't have to go with them because Xiao Lanlan was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go, so Su Yanqing, as the son-in-law, had the obligation to go.
As the son-in-law of the Xiao family, it is his duty to follow them to worship their ancestors.
As for Jiang, she heard that the adoptive mother of the family surnamed Jiang who adopted Suisui was still alive and in Jeju, and she really wanted to meet her.
It is said that she was very bad to Sui Sui. After Jiang's adoptive father passed away, she always abused and beat her and did not give her food.
I met her not to cause trouble for her, nor to thank her. It was not easy to balance. She provided Sui Sui with food and helped her grow up, but it was an indisputable fact that she was not good to her.
