Chapter 250 Song Yu Returns to Jiang Mansion
"No!" Xiao Chengqian reached out and held her tightly, "We've been engaged since childhood. You can't marry anyone else! You can only marry me!"
"So you want me to be your concubine and serve you together with my sister?" Du Zhihuan pulled her hand away angrily. "My parents will never agree to this, and your grandparents will definitely not allow it. You can't have me as your concubine!"
Xiao Chengqian quickly coaxed her, "Hanhuan, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. Song Yu and I haven't renegotiated our engagement yet, and it's still too early to get married."
Du Zhihuan looked at him. "So what do you mean? Are you going to ask your grandmother to let you continue your engagement with me and marry me?"
Xiao Chengqian pulled her to sit down, looking at Du Zhihuan with tender eyes, and said softly, "Huanhuan, I truly love you and want to marry you, but Song Yu suddenly returned. I can insist on having you as my fiancée, but this will inevitably affect my smooth succession to the prince. How can I, an ordinary prince and county lord, give you happiness?"
Du Zhihuan tilted her head slightly to avoid his gaze. "You and Song Yu are engaged, and you've successfully inherited the title of Prince. On the day of the wedding, can you still conceal the truth and marry me?"
"Hanhuan, look at me." Xiao Chengqian turned her face so they could look at each other. "I once said I would make you the happiest and most noble woman in all of Dayuan. This is my sincere word, and I will never break it."
"But... my status has changed now. I'm no longer of Marquis' bloodline, but the daughter of a fifth-rank official. How could I possibly surpass Song Yu and become the most expensive woman in Dayuan?"
"I will marry Song Yu according to the engagement, and wait for me..." Xiao Chengqian leaned forward and whispered a few words in her ear.
Du Zhihuan's eyes widened slightly. "You've already married my sister. How can I trust you to divorce her and marry me in the future?"
"Hanhuan, trust me. Don't just listen to the Marquis and his wife and marry off casually. Wait for me. I won't keep you waiting too long. Trust me."
Xiao Chengqian looked at Du Zhihuan with burning eyes.
Du Zhihuan saw that he didn't seem to be lying, "...I...believe you! Brother!"
Xiao Chengqian's heart settled down, and he pulled her into his arms again, "Hanhuan, I will definitely not let you down."
"My parents will find me a husband after I reach the age of 15. I can only wait until I'm 18 at the latest. If I delay, my parents will get anxious, and Song Yu will also get suspicious."
"Don't worry, it won't be long. If there's nothing important, let's not meet for now..."
A quarter of an hour later, Du Zhihuan left the room.
Yunyan hurriedly came forward and put a cloak over her head, then protected her and helped her get into the carriage through the back door and leave the teahouse.
Du Zhihuan asked, "Have you spotted anyone suspicious?"
"Don't worry, Miss. No."
"Okay, let's go to the bookstore."
It was already two quarters past three when Song Yu, Gu Jinyan and others came out of the Ninth Floor.
"Sister Princess, I'll go back first. If you miss me, please come to the Du Mansion to find me." Song Yu hugged Mu Qingmeng's arm and acted coquettishly.
Song Yu felt incredible about her own behavior. Her relationship with Princess Qingyang became good too quickly.
Mu Chuqing said lovingly, "Okay, go down and I'll make you something to eat."
Song Yu was delighted, "Great, great, I'll definitely try it when the time comes."
As they were talking, they arrived in front of the carriage.
Gu Jinyan said, "Miss Du, I'd like to invite you to Taoyuan for afternoon tea when you have time. Would you be so kind as to do me the honor?"
Mu Chuqing hurriedly said, "Sister Yu, the Gu family's Taoyuan is a private garden with unique Jiangnan characteristics. You should like it."
When Song Yu heard this, he quickly said to Gu Jinyan, "Sister Gu, I will definitely go when I have time."
The Gu siblings watched Song Yu leave before getting on their own carriage.
"Sister, do you still insist on having Du Zhihuan be our cousin's wife?"
Gu Jinyan pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. "...From now on, I'll just focus on managing the Gu family business. I haven't even married yet, so why should I worry about that?"
Gu Jinxuan raised his eyebrows: "When will my sister get married?"
On the way, Song Yu saw that it was still early and ordered, "Chunhua, you're a fast runner. Go back to the Du Mansion and report to my grandmother and mother. Tell them that I'm going back to the Jiang Mansion to see my grandmother and that I should be back before dinner."
"Yes, miss."
When Du Ye learned about this, she got up and went to Jiang's house to bring Song Yu back.
"Mom." Su Beiqing quickly pulled her back, "Sister Yu said she would definitely come back before dinner."
"What do you know? Mr. Jiang definitely didn't tell Shulan that Sister Yu is our child. And Shulan loves Sister Yu so much, what if she cries and makes a fuss, asking Sister Yu to wait until she can see again before coming back?"
Su Beiqing said, "The Jiang family must have a set of excuses. Sister Yu rushed back to see her now to reassure her. Don't forget that Old Madam Jiang knows that Sister Yu came to see you."
Du Ye sat back down and looked at Su Beiqing thoughtfully. "Sister Yu has returned now, but she hasn't completely considered this place her home yet. You two have to work hard to make sure that when Sister Yu thinks of her parents, you are the first person she thinks of. Do you understand?"
"My daughter-in-law understands."
Seeing her answer so quickly, Du Ye snorted, "I see you don't understand. Okay, go back first and tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes that Sister Yu likes to eat tonight..."
Arriving at the Jiang residence, Wen Nuo lowered his mask, looked around at both sides of the street, quickly jumped off the carriage and rushed into the Jiang residence, "Sister, I'm going to Furong Garden to see little brother first. He must miss me."
Song Yu went directly to Madam Jiang's yard.
At this time, Jiang Youya, Wen Shu, and Cheng Qingmeng were all in Old Lady Jiang's room.
"Cousin, why...why did you come back so suddenly?"
"Of course I miss my grandmother." Song Yu hurried over to see Old Madam Jiang, then turned to Wen Shu and said, "Xiao Nuo has gone to Furong Garden to look for you. Go find him quickly."
"Okay! I'll go now."
Song Yu was not at all curious about his ability to speak clearly. He turned around and carefully took Madam Jiang's pulse.
Seeing this, Jiang Youya smiled with relief, knowing that the Du family could keep Sister Yu, but not her heart.
"Grandma, your eye disease is recovering very well. You will be able to see clearly in just over a month."
"Really?" Old Madam Jiang looked at the white shadow moving forward, reached out and tightly grasped Song Yu, her expression obviously a little excited.
"It's true! Grandma, keep your good mood and cooperate with Dr. Bai. You'll be able to see us in a month."
"Great, great! When I can see clearly, I'm going to take a good look at you."
Cheng Qingmeng said, "We'll wash our faces clean and show them to you then."
"Okay, okay." Madam Jiang was in a good mood. "Sister Yu, how is Madam Du's health? She can't leave you alone all the time."
Song Yu looked at Jiang Youya.
Jiang Youya hurriedly said, "Madam, if Sister Yu is not around, she will easily have a stroke. Sister Yu will come back when her condition stabilizes."
Song Yu said, "In order to prevent Madam Du from having a stroke, I have to stay by her side for at least a month."
When she regained her sight, my grandmother knew everything.
Song Yu stayed in the room for half an incense stick of time and then went to Hibiscus Garden with Cheng Qingmeng.
