“Grandmother, Xian’er missed you, so I came to Ningzhou.”
Jiang Jingxian nestled beside Old Madam Jiang.
Lan Bing'er found it particularly irritating; she had never dared to be so presumptuous in front of her great-aunt.
What gives her the right?
Old Madam Jiang poked her forehead:
"I'm afraid you didn't come to Ningzhou to see me; you must have other purposes."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxian felt a pang of sadness, and tears streamed down her face.
Shen Danru stepped forward and used a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"Talk to Madam Jiang properly, she will understand."
Jiang Jingxian looked at her with teary eyes and nodded.
She was about to speak when she thought again that Lan Bing'er was still sitting there, so she said irritably, "Grandmother, there are outsiders here."
She didn't want Lan Bing'er here; she was so clueless.
Doesn't she know that the other family has something to discuss? Why is she still hanging around here? Does she really think she's the master of the Jiang family?
That's really giving her too much credit.
Lan Bing'er looked embarrassed, unsure whether to leave or not.
"Great-aunt".
Madam Jiang sensed the awkward atmosphere and the tense atmosphere.
She didn't hear a word Bing'er said to her just now; it seemed like the children had gotten into a fight outside.
“Jingxian, there are no outsiders here. Bing’er is your cousin. You two met when you were little.”
Lan Bing'er already knew who Jingxian was when Old Madam Jiang called her name.
The third young lady of the Duke's mansion, who is also the daughter of the eldest son's family, is indeed her cousin.
Although Jiang Jingxian dared to act coquettishly in front of Old Madam Jiang, she didn't dare to be presumptuous and still had to abide by basic etiquette. Even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she still respectfully called her "Cousin".
Madam Jiang nodded in satisfaction.
This made Lan Bing'er seem unruly. As soon as she entered the door, she complained to Old Madam Jiang, saying a lot of bad things about Shen Danru and the other two.
Jiang Jingxian didn't say a word, but instead respectfully called her "cousin".
It's obvious who is right and who is wrong!
Old Madam Jiang sighed. To be honest, she was still her own granddaughter. She wanted to help the Lan family, but they were hopeless.
Jingxian was also spoiled by her, so how could she not become arrogant because of her favor?
Lan Bing'er's face flushed red, and she sat there feeling uneasy.
You bastard Jiang Jingxian, you dare to play dirty tricks on me.
Hurried footsteps came from outside, and Jiang Shuyou lifted the curtain and came in.
He spotted Shen Danru standing inside at a glance and first bowed to Madam Jiang: "Greetings to Grandmother."
He turned and walked towards Shen Danru.
Lan Bing'er thought Jiang Shuyou was walking towards her, her heart pounded, and her ears burned. Seeing her older cousin smiling at her, she felt like she was floating: "Cousin."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuyou walked straight up to Shen Danru, looked her up and down, and asked with concern in his eyes:
Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?
Shen Danru shook her head.
Seeing that Shen Dan was alright, Jiang Shuyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Miss Shen is harmed, he will not let her off even if she is from the Lan family.
Lan Bing'er was stunned, standing there blankly.
Why?
Why would my cousin care about this woman?
Why is she sitting here all by herself without her cousin even asking her a question? She's covered in injuries, didn't her cousin see that?
Lan Bing'er, who was always very confident in her appearance, was now burning with jealousy. She only wanted to ruin Shen Danru's face.
Let's see how she tries to seduce her cousin now.
"Big brother."
The word "Big Brother" pulled Jiang Shuyou back to reality, and he then saw Jiang Jingxian standing next to Shen Danru.
Old Madam Jiang and everyone in the room were secretly laughing.
It seems the eldest young master is truly smitten this time, with only Miss Shen in his eyes.
Only Granny Zhao was secretly worried.
Jiang Shuyou immediately became serious upon seeing Jiang Jingxian, like a stern old father, and said with a stern face:
"You still know how to come home? Don't you know how dangerous it is for a daughter to be out there all alone?"
Jiang Jingxian was so frightened that she stood behind Shen Danru.
"You still know how to hide."
Jiang Jingxian huddled behind Shen Danru and tugged at Shen Danru's sleeve.
Shen Danru understood that this meant she was being asked to plead for mercy.
Jiang Shuyou had no choice but to bow to Chen Danru and say, "My younger sister is spoiled. I'm sorry you had to see that."
Shen Danru bowed in return, smiling as she said:
“Young Master Jiang, Jingxian is doing well. It was my fault for leaving her behind. I apologize for making you worry.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyou realized that his younger sister had been with Miss Shen these past few days, and he was finally relieved.
He also intended for his younger sister to get close to Shen Danru so that he, as the older brother, could keep an eye on his future sister-in-law and prevent her from being snatched away by someone else.
This shows that his love for her as her older brother wasn't in vain.
“Miss Chen, this is not your fault. You didn’t even know her identity. Luckily you were kind enough to take her in. Otherwise, if she had encountered bad people, who would have been able to help her?”
Jiang Jingxian poked her head out halfway and muttered softly:
"Big brother, I didn't encounter any danger, but Sister Shen was in a terrible situation; she was almost kidnapped by bad guys."
Jiang Shuyou asked anxiously, "Who is it?"
Jiang Jingxian was overjoyed; she had finally found her brother's weakness.
The older brother likes his older sister.
I never imagined that my older brother, who was always cold, strict, and old-fashioned, would be like this when he fell in love.
If she had known this would happen, she should have found a sister-in-law for her elder brother long ago.
Lan Bing'er watched the interaction between the group, her eyes burning with jealousy.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
Why is my cousin so concerned about that woman?
That bitch must have seduced my cousin.
