"Grandpa, if you think I've done something wrong, you have to tell me directly so I can correct it."
"You don't know where you went wrong?"
"How would I know if you don't tell me?"
She is still confused and has no idea what she has done wrong.
"Why are you back so late?"
Jiang Yao was confused: "Eldest sister and third sister didn't tell grandpa?"
"How dare you ask Shu'er and Xing'er? They've been waiting for you outside the city gate for so long and you didn't come out. Tell me what you want to do. I've told you that the Crown Prince is not suitable for you. Why do you have to rush to beg for him?"
Jiang Yao opened her mouth slightly, and it took her a long time to react. Not only did Jiang Shu and Jiang Xing come back without waiting for her, but they also turned the tables on her.
I'm afraid he not only said that he had been waiting for her for a long time, but also said that she might have gone to see the prince again to do something, so Jiang Ao reacted so violently.
"Grandpa, if I say that my eldest sister didn't wait for me, if I say that I didn't see the carriage after I left the house, and that I walked back, would you believe me?"
Jiang Yao had a calm expression when he asked this question. Although his face was dirty and messy, his black and white eyes just looked at Jiang Ao.
Jiang Ao opened his mouth and was about to say something but stopped.
Looking at Jiang Yao kneeling on the ground, the granddaughter seemed a little strange at the moment.
After a long while, he sighed: "Grandpa, it's not that I don't believe you, but I need you to tell me so that I can consider whether I should believe you or not."
He stared at Jiang Yao for a long time, and finally waved his hand tiredly: "It's so late, you should go back to sleep first."
Jiang Yao stood up, took two steps, looked back, hesitated, and said, "Grandpa, you should go to bed early too. It's not good for your health to sleep late when you're old."
Jiang Ao was shocked and stared at Jiang Yao in disbelief until her back disappeared.
"Old Liu, what did Yao'er just say?"
Butler Liu was also very surprised: "The Second Miss asked you to go to bed early, and said that staying up late is not good for your health."
Jiang Ao burst into tears: "My second granddaughter has finally grown up."
next day
Jiang Yao slept until noon and didn't get up yet.
She came back too late last night and was so frightened that she just wanted to sleep today.
"Miss, you're almost up."
Xiaolan kept ringing like an alarm clock, and Jiang Yao couldn't sleep anymore.
"Miss, please get up quickly. The old man wants you to go to the front hall immediately."
Jiang Yao yawned and let Xiaolan clean up for her.
Another exaggerated outfit, but Jiang Yao refused it when she was putting on makeup.
"Don't paint so heavily at home."
It was really when she came back last night and looked in the mirror that she almost scared herself to death, that she remembered that ancient cosmetics were not very waterproof.
After the terrifying scene last night, she made up her mind never to use cosmetics here again.
Don't scare yourself to death one day.
Xiaolan put down her cosmetics and picked up the exaggerated hairpin and hairpin beside her.
Jiang Yao frowned. Last night, she fell down while fighting with Su Qianji for the cup because the weight on her head was too heavy and her center of gravity was unstable.
"I don't want these anymore."
"You don't want any of them?" Xiaolan was confused. "But Miss, these are your favorite hairpins?"
"I'm not going out, so I'll just keep it simple at home."
Xiaolan didn't quite understand, because Jiang Yao used to say, 'Even at home, you have to pay attention to your status. I am the second daughter of the Jiang family and I cannot lose my dignity.'
But seeing that Jiang Yao didn't seem very happy, she didn't ask any more questions and combed Jiang Yao's hair into a simple and elegant bun.
Jiang Yao had just gotten up and hadn't eaten yet. He drank some soup and came to the front hall.
When she walked to the door, she felt something was wrong. Normally, if there was a family gathering, there would always be maids coming and going at the door. Why was it so quiet today?
She regretted it the moment she stepped through the door.
The atmosphere in the hall was so tense because Zhao Ce was there.
Jiang Yao stared blankly, his eyes gradually shifting to the other side.
——As expected, misfortunes never come alone. Zhao Ce is here, and my little husband must be here too.
Su Qianji was holding the teacup, making a crackling sound, and veins bulged on her forehead. It seemed that she didn't hear a single word he said to her last night.
Although we are shocked, we still have to observe proper etiquette.
Jiang Yao walked in slowly, then bowed and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the Crown Prince."
After a pause, he bowed to Su Qianji and said, "Greetings, Master Su."
Zhao Ce was talking to Jiang Ao. When he heard the familiar voice, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but after a quick glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"This... Is this Jiang Yao?"
Zhao Ce and Jiang Yao had met each other many times. One was a powerful prince, and the other was the granddaughter of a first-rank minister. Whenever there was a banquet in the palace or at a minister's home, the two would definitely run into each other.
But after meeting her so many times, Zhao Ce had never seen Jiang Yao's face clearly. This was the first time he really looked at the girl in front of him.
She has a graceful face, fair and tender cheeks, and is incredibly pretty. At first glance, she looks like a delicate and fragile little girl, especially her big watery eyes, which add a bit of girlish shyness. Although her clothes are still so exaggerated, it does not affect the girl's delicate beauty at all.
The man in the wheelchair didn't care much at first. He just glanced at it indifferently, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.
In Su Qianji's eyes, there is another face of Jiang Yao.
Her delicate steps are exquisite and unparalleled in the world.
This line of poetry suddenly popped up in his mind, and Su Qianji felt that the girl in front of him was even more beautiful than the poem.
Jiang Shu noticed Zhao Ce's gaze, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she stood up and pulled Jiang Yao.
"Second sister, why did you come just now?"
Jiang Yao really wanted to pull his hand back, but Jiang Shu held it too tightly, almost deliberately.
She raised her eyes and took a glance. She was completely blocked by Jiang Shu, and no one else was blocking her, but only Zhao Ce's sight was blocked.
Jiang Ao smiled and said, "Prince, this is Yao'er. You have seen her before."
Although Jiang Ao was also surprised that his second granddaughter seemed to have changed her personality today and didn't wear heavy makeup at home.
Then he thought that Zhao Ce was there, so could it be that Jiang Yao was trying to attract Zhao Ce's attention again?
"Ahem, it was I who forgot." Zhao Ce coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and looked at Jiang Yao again, but his view was blocked by Jiang Shu, so he had to give up.
"Why did you come out like this today?"
Jiang Shu's tone was full of blame.
Jiang Yao sneered in his heart. Only then did he understand from the original owner's memory that the reason why the original owner dressed herself so exaggeratedly was because Jiang Shu flattered her. She always praised the original owner for her good looks, and mocked her when she didn't dress up. Over time, the original owner formed this strange aesthetic.
"I got up late and forgot to dress up."
Jiang Yao said casually.
However, if she knew Zhao Ce would come, even if ancient cosmetics were not waterproof, she would apply three layers of makeup before coming out.
She thought she would never have any contact with these two people again after last night.
