Chapter 215: Seeing the True Face for the First Time

"Really?"

“More real than pearls!”

"Then you have to compensate me, Auntie. Take me to buy jewelry tomorrow. I want what Auntie Yang said."

"Okay." Jiang agreed to her every request.

Lu Lingyun returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

After she went back, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Qianzhu.

After thinking it over carefully, she called someone and said, "Go outside and find Dongsheng. Ask him to keep an eye on Jiang Qianzhu in General Wang's mansion for the next two days."

"yes."

The Wang family has deep feelings for her.

She lost her mother at a young age and was raised in the Wang family for a year. Jiang treated her like her own mother. Later, when she returned to the Lu family, Jiang often sent people to take care of her and check on her and whether she was doing well.

Liu had always been lukewarm towards her, but she didn't dare to touch her because of the Wang family.

Otherwise, her life in the Lu family would be just like her concubine sisters, being bullied and squeezed at will.

When she got married, Jiang gave her such precious makeup.

Although it was far inferior to what she later gave to Wang Qiluo, it was the best thing that Jiang family had kept in reserve.

She was genuinely kind to Lu Lingyun and never thought of asking her for anything in return.

In this life, she must save the Wang family!

Moreover, in addition to her personal reasons, saving the Wang family also protects her own interests.

Living among the rich and powerful, Lu Lingyun not only had to be strong and maintain her status, but she also had to have the support of others behind her.

The Lu family alone was not enough. She was on good terms with the Wang family, which was half her maternal family. Even Liu Shuhui, whom Wang Qiluo married, could be considered her in-law.

She must help the Wang family overcome this difficulty.

Dongsheng received the order and went to Wang's house to keep an eye on it.

The next day, the report came back that Jiang took Jiang Qianzhu to a jewelry store and bought her a bunch of jewelry.

After Lu Lingyun found out, she couldn't help but feel that her stepmother was too sincere.

I am sincere to everyone.

She asked Dongsheng to continue to keep an eye on it and report every day.

For several days, Jiang Qianzhu either followed Jiang to buy clothes and jewelry, or went to drink tea and listen to opera.

Jiang's family met all the requests made by Jiang Qianzhu.

When Lu Lingyun couldn't hear anything special around her, Dongsheng suddenly informed her urgently.

This afternoon, someone secretly contacted Jiang Qianzhu's nanny and asked her to go to the teahouse where they had met last time tomorrow to keep the appointment.

When Lu Lingyun received the news, a gleam of sadness appeared in his eyes.

The next day, Jiang Qianzhu went to the teahouse with her nanny.

When she entered the room, she looked around and went straight to the private room she had been to last time.

"Qianzhu is here!"

As soon as she entered, she heard a passionate and crisp voice from inside.

This voice fell into the private room next door, which was only separated by a thin partition. The people drinking tea inside immediately heard it and realized that it was Yang who spoke.

"Hello, Aunt Yang."

"I like you more and more every time I see you!" Yang warmly asked Jiang Qianzhu to sit down, "I will miss you when I go back!"

"I miss Auntie Yang, too." Jiang Qianzhu changed her usual aggressive tone and responded in a very obedient and sensible manner.

"Your aunt didn't give you any trouble when you went back that day, did she?"

Jiang Qianzhu sighed, "It's bound to make things difficult for me. After all, I'm not her biological child."

As she finished speaking, a woman holding a teacup in the next room trembled.

Lu Lingyun quickly held Jiang's hand and told her to stay calm and not make any sound.

Upon hearing this, Yang from next door felt even more distressed and said, "What's wrong with Jiang? She seemed to love you so much, but it turns out she was just pretending! If you don't love such a good niece, why not let me love her instead!"

Jiang Qianzhu was deeply moved, "Aunt Yang, the first time I saw you, I knew you were a kind person."

"Good boy, don't feel wronged. Auntie will take you out to buy some things later. No one loves you, but I do."

"Qianzhu is not worth it."

"You are worthy!" Yang looked Jiang Qianzhu up and down and praised her, "You are as beautiful as a flower. There are few aunts in the capital who are prettier than you. Just based on your beauty and character, you deserve to marry into the royal family one day!"

When Jiang Qianzhu heard about marrying into the royal family, she immediately blushed. "How can I marry into the royal family? My family is only a small local official of the sixth rank."

The Jiang family had long been demoted to local sixth-rank officials. Sixth-rank officials in the capital were nothing, and sixth-rank officials in the local area had even less value.

"Isn't your aunt's family a fourth-rank general?" Yang smiled, "Even if you can't marry into the royal family, you can marry any second- or third-rank official in the capital! If it weren't for the unlucky man in my family who didn't meet you earlier, you would have married into my family as a daughter-in-law, and my family would have married up!"

Jiang Qianzhu's heart was filled with sweetness when she heard Yang's words.

Their Luo family was the fourth-rank Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, a powerful family. When Jiang Qianzhu first heard that Wang Qiluo's marriage proposal was coming to their family, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red.

This is a height she can never reach.

She was extremely jealous. Why was it that everyone had Jiang family blood in their veins, but Wang Qiluo was able to marry such a good man? The starting point for the marriage proposal was a fourth-rank official in the capital, while she would never be able to enter the eyes of such a family in her entire life.

If she stayed in her own home, she might marry into the family of other local officials of similar rank, or even lower!

Jiang Qianzhu was so jealous that she rushed to her aunt's house as soon as possible, hoping to have such an opportunity in the future.

Unexpectedly, she actually saw it. At her aunt's place, the starting rank for marriage proposal was also fourth rank.

She is no worse than Wang Qiluo!

"Aunt Yang, you are joking. To be honest, it is my sister Qiluo who is unlucky. She should have married Mr. Luo."

Jiang next door tightened his grip again.

"Qianzhu, I'm so relieved that you can understand the situation and not listen to those rumors. I think your sister Qiluo can't compare to your kindness and gentleness! You are really wronged in the Wang family!"

"Auntie Yang, please don't say anything more. I'll be embarrassed if you continue."

"Don't be shy, it's about time, let's go out, Auntie will take you to buy some clothes and jewelry. Others don't know how good you are and don't love you, but Auntie loves you."

"Well, thank you, auntie." Jiang Qianzhu lowered her head shyly.

There were sounds of footsteps and a door closing next door, and finally the sound of a cup being reset in the cubicle.

"Damn it, some people are just not worth it." Lu Lingjun looked at the woman beside him and said.

Jiang was indignant, "How did I wrong her? I must bring her over today to ask her clearly!"

"Forget it, don't rush to make a fuss. I always feel that there will be something else to come." Lu Lingyun comforted.

"Lingyun," Jiang's face was full of doubts, "After Qiluo and you got married, I really treated her as my own daughter. I gave her whatever she wanted and treated her as well as I could. I even wanted her to marry into the Wang family and keep me company in the future. What on earth was she thinking! How could she fall for that Zhongshan wolf Luo Heng!"
