Jiang Yanwan quickly wiped away her tears, "You should apologize to Qingwan properly, so as not to worry your mother."
Jiang Zhenlin noticed her eyes were very red and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yanwan sniffed, trying to cover up her embarrassment. Xia Yan, who was following behind, seized the opportunity to say, "Our young lady kindly gave Qingwan some ointment and even left Granny Lai to her to deal with, but Qingwan mentioned her foster mother, Madam Cheng."
Jiang Zhenlin was furious when he heard this.
They've practically forced themselves right in front of him! This time, she wasn't wronged!
Jiang Zhenlin rushed into the room and saw that Lin Qingwan was still in the mood to drink tea. "If you have any complaints, take them out on me. The Qionglu Cream incident was my fault!"
"Don't bully my older sister."
Lin Qingwan chuckled, "How did I bully her? I didn't kick her, I didn't scold her, and I didn't slander her."
"You!" Jiang Zhenlin had originally come to deliver Qionglu Ointment to her.
His older sister and mother had both tried to persuade him these past two days. He knew he had acted impulsively, and that it was really disgraceful of him to scold Lin Qingwan in front of the door that day. That's why he came here to ease the tension, but he never expected to witness this scene.
Lin Qingwan added, "I'm just conveying the last words of the Cheng family."
Jiang Zhenlin frowned. "What Cheng family! She's her parents' daughter, a young lady of the Jiang family. How many times do I have to tell you that!"
Lin Qingwan shrugged. "It's Miss Yanwan's filial piety that made her sad and shed tears for Madam Cheng."
"Didn't you say this would happen?"
Lin Qingwan thought Jiang Zhenlin was a mindless mad dog, and said helplessly, "Then I apologize to Miss Yanwan."
This statement lacks sincerity and sounds more like a perfunctory response.
"You..." Jiang Zhenlin was even more furious.
Jiang Yanwan said in a trembling voice, "Ah Lin, stop making a scene, it's my fault..."
Before she could finish speaking, she collapsed limply.
Xia Yan yelled, "Someone come quick!"
"Miss is in poor health and hasn't rested much these past two days..."
Jiang Zhenlin clenched his fists. "Lin Qingwan!"
forecourt.
Jiang Su bowed deeply, "Your Highness Prince Jing has graced my humble abode with your presence. This old minister has failed to greet you properly."
Prince Jing, Zhao Yan, returned to the capital from his fiefdom yesterday and came to the Prime Minister's residence as a guest today, giving the Jiang family ample face.
"Prime Minister, there's no need for such formalities. I heard that Miss Jiang fell into the water a few days ago. In the dead of winter, this is no small matter, so I came here specifically to check on her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Su's expression tightened.
This matter did not spread, but Prince Jing knew about it, so it's likely that he was also not kept in the dark about Lin Qingwan's return.
Jiang Su said, "Thank you, Your Highness. My daughter is fine."
"Your Highness, please come in."
The two had just entered the garden when they heard the sound of something falling to the ground, along with the exclamations of the maids and servants.
"Quickly, fetch the royal physician! Miss has fainted!"
