Jiang Meiyu came to Madam Jiang's yard and saw Madam Jiang directing a group of maids and servants to sweep the courtyard. She walked forward with a smile and called softly, "Mother!"
Mrs. Jiang turned around when she heard the voice, a happy smile on her face: "Hey... Yu'er, you are here, come and let me see you, I haven't seen you for two days." As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Meiyu carefully, her eyes full of love.
Jiang Meiyu smiled coquettishly: "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Madam Jiang gently stroked Jiang Meiyu's hair and said with emotion, "My Yu'er is becoming more and more beautiful!"
Jiang Meiyu was secretly delighted, but still lowered her head shyly. After a while, she looked up at Madam Jiang and said softly, "Mother, I want to go and pray to the Buddha and pray for a good marriage."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll find a suitable day and go with you."
Jiang Meiyu heard this and quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "Mom, no need. You are so busy. We all rely on you to arrange food, clothing and other expenses in our house. How can we do without you?"
Madam Jiang thought about it and felt that Jiang Meiyu was right. She was indeed very busy. So she nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are right. This family really can't do without me. How about this? I will send you more maids and guards to ensure your safety."
Jiang Meiyu was secretly happy, thinking that she could finally go out on her own. But on the surface, she nodded obediently and said, "Thank you, mother. You are so kind."
"Mom, you can send a few more guards, but Qing is enough as the maid. My daughter is used to her serving me, and other people are not used to it. There will be no use having more of them!" Jiang Meiyu said while acting coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. But as a girl, you must pay attention to your safety when you are outside. Don't let anything happen to you!" Mrs. Jiang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter will always take protecting her own safety as her own responsibility. Thank you, mother!" Jiang Meiyu said as she kissed Mrs. Jiang on the cheek. Mrs. Jiang scolded her, "You are becoming more and more rude as you get older." Mrs. Jiang scratched her daughter's nose and said lovingly.
Jiang Meiyu was enjoying the tenderness between mother and daughter, feeling very happy. She snuggled in Mrs. Jiang's arms, but in her heart she thought, "Mother, I will definitely protect you and Daddy from now on."
Looking at her well-behaved and lovely daughter, Mrs. Jiang was filled with joy and felt that she was extremely happy as a mother.
"You are just sweet-talking and can make me happy." Mrs. Jiang gently touched Jiang Meiyu's hair and said with a smile.
"Hehe, because what I said is the truth, mom, you are the best mother in the world!" Jiang Meiyu raised her head, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Mrs. Jiang sincerely.
"Okay, okay, my dear daughter, I really hope you can always be so happy and carefree." Mrs. Jiang sighed with emotion.
"Mom, don't worry. I've grown up and can take care of myself. And we have daddy, he loves us too." Jiang Meiyu comforted.
"Yes, with you and your daughter, I am content for the rest of my life." Mrs. Jiang was filled with emotion.
"Hehe, of course, we are the happiest family." Jiang Meiyu smiled proudly.
In this way, the mother and daughter snuggled together, enjoying this warm and beautiful time...
At that moment, a woman in green suddenly appeared before everyone. She spotted Jiang Meiyu nestled in Madam Jiang's arms, the deep affection between mother and daughter stirring in her heart a surge of jealousy. However, she dared not show it, forcing a smile and saying in a delicate voice, "Mother, your daughter has come to pay her respects!" She even covered her mouth with a handkerchief and bowed slightly.
After hearing the voice, Mrs. Jiang raised her head, a glint of surprise and kindness in her eyes. She quickly gestured for Jiang Meiyu to stand up, and said to the woman in green, "Lian'er, get up quickly and come to your mother."
Jiang Meilian stood up obediently and walked lightly to the other side of Madam Jiang to sit down. With a smile on her face, she said softly, "Mother, I didn't know my sister would come to pay her respects to you today. If I had known earlier, I would have come later to avoid disturbing your and my sister's warm moment."
Madam Jiang smiled gently, caressing Jiang Meilian's hand and soothingly saying, "Lian'er, don't worry about these details. It's a good thing you're here, so the three of us can talk about our innermost thoughts. I don't ask for too much in my life. I just hope you two can find your ideal husband and live a happy and fulfilling life. By the way, since that's the case, why don't you accompany me to the temple tomorrow to pray for marriage? You might even find a good match."
"Yes, mother, a daughter always listens to her mother." Jiang Meilian said in a pretentious manner, with a barely perceptible cunning in her voice.
Jiang Meiyu secretly cursed her sister in her heart, but dared not show it on the surface. She could only turn away and secretly rolled her eyes. She secretly groaned in her heart: "It's over, this scheming woman is going to follow me, how can I still have a chance to get close to Prince Gong?" She had originally planned everything, but now Jiang Meilian's appearance disrupted all her plans.
However, Jiang Meilian was secretly pleased with herself at this moment. She thought that tomorrow would be the perfect opportunity for the Second Prince to encounter Jiang Meiyu. This way, she could both cause trouble for Jiang Meiyu and satisfy her own selfish desires. Her eyes flashed with calculation, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a subtle sneer.
Both of them sat beside Mrs. Jiang, each with their own hidden agenda and thoughts. Mrs. Jiang was unaware of the undercurrent between them and continued to smile at her two daughters, full of expectations and trust in them.
On the morning of the second day, sunlight filtered through the clouds, illuminating the earth with a tranquil and warm feeling. Jiang Meiyu finished her breakfast and happily left her room for the courtyard. She saw Keqing had already packed her luggage and placed it neatly aside. When they reached the gate of the Jiang residence, they found Madam Jiang already waiting. Madam Jiang warmly inquired about their breakfast and assured them that two magnificent carriages were ready for their departure to Daishan.
Madam Jiang had also specially arranged for thirty guards to accompany them on their journey, ensuring their safety. Jiang Meiyu gratefully thanked her mother and boarded the first carriage with Keqing, while Jiang Meilian and her maid sat in the second. As the driver cracked his whip, the sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets as the carriages slowly moved towards Daishan.
Along the way, Jiang Meiyu was in high spirits, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window. The fields, mountains, and rivers along the way filled her with excitement. She looked forward to the many surprises and wonderful memories this trip would bring her. At the same time, she began to think about how to better protect herself and her family, and how to cope with the difficulties that might arise in the future.
As night fell, they finally arrived at the foot of Mount Dai. Jiang Meiyu disembarked from the carriage and took a deep breath of fresh air, taking in the breath of nature. Looking up, she saw the mountain peaks towering into the clouds, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland. Jiang Meiyu was filled with awe and anticipation for the adventure to come.
