Chapter 213 The Thief
"Madam, you are joking. How can I compare with Sister Qiluo?" Jiang Qianzhu answered crisply, "She is a princess, I am much rougher!"
"Not bad at all! They are all elegant and beautiful ladies from wealthy families!"
Jiang Qianzhu was overjoyed at the compliment. She looked at her aunt beside her and said, "Aunt, you haven't introduced who this lady is yet?"
Jiang's face was particularly bad, "Who is this..."
"I'm your aunt's close friend, Qianzhu, you can just call me Aunt Yang." Yang said first.
Jiang Qianzhu heard this and did not wait for Jiang to introduce herself anymore. She responded crisply, "Hello, Aunt Yang."
"What a well-educated and well-mannered girl. Today is the first time we meet. I don't have anything good to give you, so please keep this jade pendant." Yang took off a jade pendant made of the finest mutton-fat jade from her body and gave it to Jiang Qianzhu.
Before Jiang could even open her mouth to refuse, Jiang Qianzhu took it, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Aunt Yang, isn't this too expensive?"
"You can keep this little thing and wear it," Yang said generously. "Auntie will treat you to tea. Let's have a good time together."
"Thank you, Auntie Yang." Jiang Qianzhu took the jade pendant, smiled happily, and pulled Jiang and Yang inside.
Jiang's face looked extremely unhappy, but she couldn't refuse at this moment, so she had to bite the bullet and be dragged in by Jiang Qianzhu.
When Lu Lingyun saw this, she frowned.
Li Niyue on the side even asked, "How can anyone dare to date Yang? And bring a little girl along? Isn't she afraid that her daughter will be deceived?"
Lu Lingjun pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Niyue, I'm going out for a while."
"good."
When Lu Lingyun came out of the private room, she happened to see Yang bringing Jiang Qianzhu, and pulling Jiang to the private room upstairs.
"Auntie!" Lu Lingjun called out.
Hearing Lu Lingyun's voice, Jiang looked up as if he had met a savior.
"Why did you come just now? We have been waiting for a long time!" Lu Lingyun walked straight past Yang and came to Jiang.
"you also......."
"Stop talking, the tea is getting cold. You are the only one missing!" Lu Lingyun took Jiang's hand and walked upstairs.
Yang recognized Lu Lingyun at this time, "Isn't this the Crown Prince's wife?"
"Oh, it's Madam Yang." Lu Lingyun also looked like she had just seen her. "You're here for tea too? I asked my aunt to come to the teahouse for a small gathering. What a coincidence."
"That's a coincidence." Yang blinked, "Why don't we go together?"
"That's really inappropriate. I have plans to discuss something with other people today. Let's do it next time. Next time I will invite Mrs. Yang alone for tea." Lu Lingyun found an excuse to refuse her.
Hearing this, Yang also understood the situation and responded with a smile, "Well, bring me along with you next time you have a party. I'm a very lively person."
Lu Lingyun nodded at her and pulled Jiang upstairs, while Jiang held Jiang Qianzhu with his other hand.
Jiang Qianzhu then asked, "Aunt, why don't I know what kind of gathering you had with the Crown Prince's wife today?"
She looked up at Lu Lingyun and spoke directly.
Jiang: “…”
She finally realized that Jiang Qianzhu's words were annoying.
"I was in a hurry to leave and forgot to tell you." Jiang said.
"No way! You clearly told me that you were just bringing me to the new teahouse to have tea today." Jiang Qianzhu was dismantling the table.
Lu Lingyun didn't give her face yesterday, and didn't give her the bracelet she wanted, so why should she give her any face!
As for her aunt's face...it doesn't matter at all.
"If you don't want to come, just go back first." Lu Lingyun said at this time.
"Yes, if you don't want to drink tea, I will ask someone to send you back." Jiang also said.
The stage has been set now. If Jiang Qianzhu still had some sense of intimacy, she would know that she should step down quickly to give face to her own elders.
At this time, Yang said, "Qianzhu, I just don't have a companion. If you are willing to accompany me, let's have some tea together. I will take you home later."
Yang's suggestion made Jiang frown. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Qianzhu, her eyes full of winks at her, asking her to follow her.
And Jiang Qianzhu responded.
"OK!"
She let go of Jiang's hand without hesitation and turned to Yang, "Then I will drink tea with you, Aunt Yang."
In an instant, Jiang was disappointed.
Lu Lingjun even saw the secretly happy smile in Jiang Qianzhu's eyes.
It seemed that seeing her own aunt lonely and disappointed made her secretly happy.
She didn't say anything more to Jiang Qianzhu, took Jiang's hand and walked straight to the private room upstairs.
After they entered the private room, they could still hear voices of talking and laughing following closely behind them.
Jiang Qianzhu and Yang had just met for a short time, but they became extremely close.
Jiang was very disappointed.
"Lingyun, what is this?" Li Niyue who was sitting in the private room couldn't help but ask.
"She has been watching me grow up. I consider her my godmother, the wife of General Wang, Madam Jiang."
"Hello, Aunt Jiang." Li Niyue took the initiative to greet her.
When Jiang saw Li Niyue, she looked at Lu Lingyun.
"This is Li Niyue, the eldest wife of Duke Xu's mansion. Madam Li."
"It turns out she is the young mistress of the Duke's Mansion." Jiang said.
"Auntie Jiang, don't be so formal. Lingyun and I are like sisters. Just call me Niyue." Li Niyue was not at all arrogant.
Jiang also let go, "Ni Yue."
"By the way, where is the girl next to you, Aunt Jiang?"
Speaking of Jiang Qianzhu, Jiang's face darkened again, "She went to have tea with Yang."
"Why should we ask her to have tea with Yang?" Li Niyue was instantly dissatisfied, "Yang is not a good person."
"That was her own choice." Lu Lingyun pulled Jiang to sit down.
Jiang sighed at this time, "How could Qianzhu be like this? She used to be very well-behaved, but she has become more and more ignorant as she grows up!"
Jiang Qianzhu just gave up on her and chose Yang's, which really broke her heart.
"I have always treated her like my own daughter. Whenever she comes to the capital, I will buy her a set of Qiluo. As long as she asks, I will give her whatever I have. How could she choose to go with someone else just now!"
Jiang couldn't see through it, but Lu Lingjun had already seen through it, that Jiang Qianzhu was an ungrateful person.
She took Jiang's things, but hated her in her heart. She would often belittle her own aunt's family in her words and deeds, and was extremely jealous.
She was not unconscious about what happened today, she did it purely out of hatred for Jiang family.
At this moment, an important event flashed through Lu Lingyun's mind.
In the previous life, the Wang family was framed and defeated around this time.
The Wang family was framed for treason, Wang Qiluo was beaten to death by Luo Heng, and Jiang was forced to commit suicide.
At that time, she was in Jiangnan and had no idea of the details. Afterwards, she found a clue that the Wang family was framed by an insider who caught them off guard.
That thief...could it be Jiang Qianzhu!
