Chapter 252: Unaware of the Taste of Worry
Jiang Miaomiao doesn't know what sorrow feels like.
Because she had never been married in her previous life, she couldn't empathize with him.
I don’t know how to comfort Sister Qiao.
You can only feed her a candy, sweet food can make people relax.
Jiang Qiaoer looked at her aunt eagerly.
She didn't dare tell her parents that she didn't want to get married.
She will definitely be scolded by her mother.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She obviously liked Brother Yanshu very much, but she was just afraid.
Xiuxiu crossed her arms and looked at Qiaoer. She didn't understand Qiaoer at all.
Weren't she and Sun Yanshu in love? Why did she regret it now?
This is not a easy task.
She said directly: "Qiao'er, if you really don't want to get married, then we can cancel the marriage?"
"No...no...Auntie, that's not what I meant." Jiang Qiaoer's face turned red instantly.
Aunt Xiuxiu is really...
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
Lu Qingyao: ...
"Qiao'er, there's still half a month until your wedding. I'll talk to Old Madam Cui and ask Aunt Qin, who works for her, to come and teach you. She's also familiar with Old Madam Sun and knows her preferences. If there's anything you want to say but can't, you can write to Aunt Qin. Don't be afraid."
"As for business matters, if you're undecided, you can ask Shopkeeper Jin from Yipinju to help you with some advice. I'll have him pick a few capable people to help you, so just relax."
Lu Qingyao patted her hands lightly.
As someone who had experienced this, she naturally understood the fear in the little girl's heart.
At first, she had tossed and turned in bed in the first few days before her marriage.
Qiao'er is different from other girls. She grew up in the countryside and was loved by her parents. Although she has learned a lot, she still lacks experience in managing the rear house and dealing with wealthy ladies.
Most of her playmates since childhood were married into farmers' families in the same village or neighboring villages.
Naturally, there aren't so many etiquette and rules.
Qiao'er wanted to learn from her younger sisters, but she had nowhere to go. She probably didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Not to mention those rich ladies, many of them didn't show it on their faces, but in fact they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts.
Although her future mother-in-law seemed kind and sensible, she was a daughter of an official family and had many rules to follow.
Qiao'er might be able to fool outsiders, but she probably won't be able to do that when facing her mother-in-law whom she lives with every day.
No matter how broad-minded Qiao'er is, she will still worry and be afraid.
Just like when she first returned to the capital.
After hearing this, Jiang Qiaoer felt much more relaxed.
The next morning.
Jiang Miaomiao was munching on a bun and eating breakfast.
Mother received another letter from the capital.
Jiang Miaomiao saw her mother taking the letter and going to the next room to talk with her aunt in private.
The three brothers and sisters were very curious.
Look at each other.
Jiang Zifeng jumped onto the roof.
Jiang Ziyan picked up the book and walked back and forth outside the door.
Jiang Miaomiao took the half-eaten bun, walked directly to the next door and pushed the door open.
She nestled into her mother's arms.
Little kids have this privilege: they can pretend not to know something when they know it.
She munched on the steamed bun with relish, casually pricked up her ears and listened attentively.
Jiang Ziyan: ...
Looking through the crack in the door, I saw my sister eavesdropping openly, feeling a little envious.
Then I heard Aunt Xiuxiu ask my mother, who is the letter from?
My mother replied, "Jiang Yue, her letter said Qi Caiwei had taken a concubine for Jiang Yunze and brought Tao Tao and her daughter back to the Jiang residence. Jiang Yunze was planning to make Qi Caiwei his wife, so I should take this opportunity to divorce him. As for the case of Minister Qi cheating in the imperial examination, Yan Shaoqing is still investigating, and they will report it to him after I divorce him."
"It's good this way. With the Qi family forcing them and threatening Tao Tao, Jiang Yunze will definitely come to ask you for a divorce. We have the upper hand." Now it's going to be interesting.
Xiuxiu couldn't wait to beat Jiang Yunze up.
Lu Qingyao nodded.
Looking at the several large letters...
The Jiang family took back their concubine and illegitimate son, the prince was seriously ill, Duke Shen had submitted evidence of the theft of military pay to His Majesty, and His Majesty had sent people to capture Prince Su.
Soon, the Lu family will be cleared of the injustice.
There are also gossips and anecdotes about Beijing.
Princess Yuqing lost her husband and son, and Prince Consort Cao's family was gone...
"The princess has lost her son!" Lu Qingyao exclaimed. She looked at Xiuxiu, "Then little Princess Jiayue is gone?"
How could that be?
Even though he is someone else's child.
But as a mother, what she can't bear the most is to hear a child die young, and she can't bear to hear it from other families either.
She had seen the child before. He was as thin as a monkey. She heard that he was a premature baby.
Everything was fine on my way back to the capital, Jiangzhou. Why did I just get back to the capital and...
"Could it be that he caught a cold on the way back to the capital?"
Lu Qingyao then remembered that little Miaomiao in her arms had also caught a cold and was blowing her nose.
She couldn't help but hug the little baby in her arms tightly and asked Xier to get a small blanket to wrap her up.
Jiang Miaomiao opened her mouth, looking a little dazed.
The bun in his hand also fell to the ground.
She didn't come to her senses until her mother covered her with a blanket.
Dead.
Although the bean sprouts are a bit unpleasant.
But why did he die like this?
It was autumn when she went back, and it should have been winter when she arrived in the capital. If she walked slowly, it might even be spring.
Did he die of illness?
Come to think of it, she is so thin and doesn't eat well. She won't listen when I ask her to eat more.
Are children at this age so likely to die from illness?
She sniffed and felt a sense of fear for no reason.
We are about to go to the capital, which is a long journey not only in ancient times but also in modern times.
It seems she needs to exercise more and eat more.
"Xiu Xiu, what kind of person is Princess Yuqing?" Lu Qingyao was a little curious.
No matter how I look at it, something feels wrong.
No matter what, there is no reason for the whole family to die out.
He got acquainted with Princess Rong'an, the wife of Prince Liang, and Prince Jing in Jiangzhou, and it was inevitable that they would visit each other when he went to the capital.
It is inevitable that you will meet Princess Yuqing.
There's no harm in knowing a little bit.
Xiuxiu was stunned and almost thought that her sister knew her identity.
After thinking about it, I felt that it was not the case.
As secret guards, it's normal for them to be well-informed. Besides, Princess Yuqing is Prince Jing's biological sister.
My sister would ask her to pay attention to the people they come into contact with on a daily basis and the network of connections around them.
It's normal to know.
"Sister, I heard from the maidservants around Princess Jiayue that Princess Yuqing is stunningly beautiful, and Daliang probably can't find a more beautiful woman than her. But Prince Consort Cao is plain in appearance and talent. Although he is also a direct descendant of the Cao family, he lost his father at a young age, and being an orphan and a widow, he was not well-received in the Cao family. It wasn't until the princess took a fancy to him that things started to improve. The princess doesn't seem to like him very much. It's just a political marriage, and they will live their own lives after marriage."
"Rumor has it that Princess Yuqing is extremely ruthless and a smiling devil. The noble ladies of the capital both fear and respect her, and the court officials are also afraid of her. The Crown Prince can sit firmly on the throne thanks to the Queen and Princess Yuqing."
"Smiling Yama?"
Lu Qingyao was slightly surprised.
This was actually somewhat different from the rumors she had heard in the capital.
