Chapter 74 Old Madam Jiang
Chang Huai scolded him in a low voice when he saw this, "Dayong, how can you be so flustered!"
The doorman Dayong quickly stopped and bowed towards the carriage.
"Old Master, the old lady knows that you went south to look for the eldest lady."
Jiang Youya's face darkened. "Who was the one who let the cat out of the bag?"
"No one let it slip, it was the old lady..."
Dayong glanced at the few passers-by.
Seeing this, Jiang Youya quickly entered the courtyard and walked around the hidden wall. "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Replying to the old master, ten days ago, the old lady dreamed that the eldest daughter was..."
"What's wrong, Miss? If you have something to say, please say it quickly!"
Chang Huai was so anxious that he was about to kick him. He hated people who spoke in a stammering voice the most. It made him so annoyed!
"The old lady dreamed that the eldest daughter was hacked to death by bandits. The old lady was awakened by the shock, and her eye disease worsened. She also had a high fever and cried day and night. The lady, in order to comfort her... said the dream was false, and that you, the old master, had gone south to look for the eldest daughter and would bring her back soon. Only then did she calm the old lady down."
Jiang Youya's expression turned cold.
Chang Huai thought to himself, this is terrible.
The lady is better at coaxing people than he is.
He coaxed the master back just because the eldest lady was coming back.
Now, how can I coax the master?
"Wanwan was killed by bandits?"
Chang Huai:?
"No, Master, the young lady was not killed. Dayong said that she was killed in the old lady's dream. The dream was false. The young lady is still alive."
Bah, wrong again.
"Master, we must go and see the old lady now."
Jiang Youya walked towards the main courtyard.
"Old Master, the old lady is not in her own courtyard. She is now in the eldest lady's courtyard. These days, the old lady has to sit there for a long time every day in order to wait for the eldest lady to come back."
"Dayong, you guys just pretend I've never been back. Just leave with us."
Chang Huai was surprised and was about to leave as soon as he came back, "Where are we going?"
"Continue to go south to look for Wanwan."
Jiang Youya didn't dare to go see Old Madam Jiang because he didn't find Jiang Yunwan.
When we asked him for the person, he couldn't produce him.
"Ah? No, old master, you can't leave." Dayong bravely stopped him. "Madam told the old lady that you would bring the eldest daughter back in a few days. If you go south to look for her, you won't be back for a month or so. If the old lady sees you haven't come back for a long time, she will have all sorts of thoughts. The court doctor said that the old lady's body can't stand any more stimulation."
Jiang Youya thought for a moment, then turned and headed towards the inner courtyard.
"Yun'er, do you think Grandma has arranged everything neatly?"
Old Madam Jiang's hair was gray and her face looked a little haggard.
She was dressed in brocade and plain clothes and stood in front of a row of bookshelves, with maids and nannies surrounding her cautiously.
"Grandma put it in order, not crooked."
"Oh, okay."
Old Madam Jiang leaned against the bookshelf and slowly moved to the next shelf.
Jiang Shiyun glanced at Aunt Gui, and Aunt Gui raised her hand and quietly put the messy books into order.
"Yun'er, is this square correct?"
Jiang Shiyun glanced at the crooked book and continued to lie to Madam Jiang, "Set it straight, Grandma."
Old Madam Jiang nodded with satisfaction and moved to the next bookshelf.
Nanny Gui followed behind and did the same thing.
A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Jiang turned around and was about to leave the bookshelf.
The two big maids hurriedly reached out to support her.
"No need for help!" Old Madam Jiang frowned and unhappily shook off the maid's hand, "I can walk by myself."
Jiang Shiyun hurriedly put her little hand into Madam Jiang's hand, "Grandma, you said you would take me to see my aunt, otherwise my aunt wouldn't know that I am her well-behaved and lovely niece."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's lips curled up, her lifeless eyes seemed to light up, and her whole face looked much kinder and gentler. "Okay, Grandma will hold your hand. You can make peony fruit cake. Your aunt will like you very much. When your grandfather brings your aunt back, you can make some for her to try."
Hey, that’s what my mother said to comfort my grandmother.
What if my grandfather can’t bring my aunt back?
How can I cover up the lie then?
Jiang Shiyun's head drooped for a moment, then quickly stood up again. "Okay, grandma. I will make some peony fruit cake for my aunt."
"Grandma will take you to the flower hall to see the pot of Yaohuang peonies. Your aunt likes it the most."
Jiang Shiyun led Madam Jiang to the door and quickly stopped, "Grandma, the threshold is too high. I can't step over it."
Old Madam Jiang looked at the vast expanse of white in front of her and felt anxious.
what to do?
When Wanwan comes back and sees that her eyesight is not good, will she be anxious and angry?
We can’t let Wanwan find out no matter what!
Old Madam Jiang held Jiang Shiyun's little hand tightly, raised her foot and stepped forward, touching the threshold.
"Yun'er followed her grandmother's example, lifting her foot higher, stepping over, and then lifting the other foot."
Madam Jiang was obviously unsteady, so Nanny Gui and the others rushed forward to support her.
Jiang Shiyun hurriedly tried to stop her with her eyes. It was obvious that her grandmother wanted to walk by herself. If she helped her, she would cry for a long time.
"Grandma, if I lift one leg and stand steadily, I'll fall and hit my head. I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, grandma is holding your hand." Old Madam Jiang touched Jiang Shiyun's little head. "Grandma will hold you tightly and won't let you fall. Just be bold and take a step forward."
"Yeah, I listen to my grandmother and take a bold step!"
Jiang Shiyun stepped out quickly and led Old Madam Jiang out steadily?
"Grandma, I've made it. We've made it."
When Feng Yingying rushed over and saw the scene, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurried over to support Old Madam Jiang.
It would be a big trouble if I fell.
"Mom, are you going back to your yard to rest? Let your daughter-in-law help you back."
"Has your father-in-law brought Wanwan back?"
Feng Yingying's face froze. Why were her feet so naughty that she had to enter her sister-in-law's yard?
This is the only thing her mother-in-law would ask her if she caught her.
"It's almost there, it's on the way, it will be here in a few days."
Madam Jiang stared at Feng Yingying's forehead with a dull look, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "That's what you said a few days ago. It's been a few days, why hasn't she come back yet? Are you kidding me? Did Wanwan really have an accident?"
Feng Yingying was so sad that she could not even cry.
Over the years, my mother-in-law has gradually accepted the fact that her sister-in-law is no longer with us.
I haven’t dreamed of my sister-in-law for so many years, why did I dream of her this year?
Could it be that he really didn't die when he fell off the cliff, but died this year, or was he hacked to death by bandits?
"Don't overthink it, mother. That dream is the opposite of what it was. Wanwan must be on her way back. Let's wait patiently for a few more days. After all, we've been waiting for more than ten years. Now that the day is getting brighter, let your daughter-in-law take you back to the courtyard."
Madam Jiang shook her head: "Let's go to Wanwan's flower hall and sit for a while."
At this time, Jiang Youya entered the yard and saw three people heading towards the flower hall.
Jiang Youya opened his mouth, closed it again, turned around and walked out.
I haven't finished making up a lie yet, I'll come back when I think of it.
"Madam, the old man is back." Nanny Gui was sharp-eyed and called out to Jiang Youya.
Jiang Youyai paused, turned around stiffly, glared at Nanny Gui, and looked at Feng Yingying with complicated eyes.
"father……"
When Feng Yingying didn't see the familiar body, she knew that her lie had not come true.
"Youya, you're back. Did you bring Wanwan back with you?"
Old Madam Jiang blinked several times to make her old eyes look brighter, turned around with a smile on her lips, and looked towards the entrance of the yard.
"Mom, I'm back."
Feng Yingying's face changed drastically and she covered Jiang Shiyun's mouth with her hand.
