Listening to Jiang Nianjiao's coaxing, Concubine Yuxian chuckled softly, "You, my aunt is most worried about you. Although the Chen family is not a place with complicated rules, you are the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Naturally. Don’t let others take it lightly. After you return this time, your aunt will arrange for you to have a tutor in the palace to teach you some rules. She will also personally select a few capable girls for you and send them there. This time Go back and don't talk back to your father again..."
Listening to Concubine Yu Xian's nagging instructions on everything she could think of, Jiang Nianjiao was extremely grateful that she still had an aunt who treated her like her own daughter.
Although she did not agree with some of her aunt's views, she was still happy to put away her unruly nature and pretend to be good in front of her aunt.
However, this harmonious atmosphere was completely interrupted when a person's name was mentioned.
"Jiaojiao, don't go against your stepmother after you go back. Even if you hate her, you won't have much time together in the future. Besides, I don't think she is a treacherous person. You still have a long life, there is no need to worry too much about her." Concubine Yu Xian finally said this suddenly.
Hearing Concubine Yuxian's words, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly buried herself in Concubine Yuxian's arms and became silent.
She was not being pretentious, she just felt grudge after learning that Yu Se and Jiang Fang had been linked together when their mother was still alive.
Moreover, those old and new grudges were flooding into her heart, and even if her mother was alive, she would not be able to stop resenting her.
And Yu Se is really deceptive. Now even her aunt is speaking for her.
When Jiang Nianjiao thought about how many people recognized that woman's hypocritical appearance as benevolence and righteousness, Jiang Nianjiao felt her heart congested and panicked.
Concubine Yu Xian finally noticed something was wrong with Jiang Nianjiao. She called out softly, "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Does my aunt also stand with her? Does her aunt think she is a good person? But what if she wants to harm me!" Jiang Nianjiao's eyes were filled with tears when she raised her head from Concubine Yuxian's arms.
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's appearance, Concubine Yuxian felt a twinge in her heart.
The old scars that had scabbed slowly over time seemed to have been uncovered again by Jiang Nianjiao.
Thinking again of the day her sister had a difficult delivery, Concubine Yu Xian could hardly dare to look directly into Jiang Nianjiao's eyes.
She tightened her palms. If Yu Se was really that kind of person, she would naturally not be able to spare her.
Just like when she had no contact with Yusena, she could hate that woman as much as she wanted.
But everyone is never black and white, even Yu Se is a poor person.
She didn't forgive her because of this pity, it's just that people don't live only in hatred.
Besides, this hatred cannot bring any benefit to Jiang Nianjiao at present.
After all, Yu Se is the mistress in charge of the inner chamber.
She just hoped that Jiang Nianjiao could live happily in this world. She just hopes that Jiang Nianjiao can have a husband who truly loves and protects her.
Don't be as rough as her sister.
Concubine Yu Xian knew that Jiang Nianjiao and Yu Se had always been at odds with each other, so she also thought that Jiang Nianjiao just couldn't get along with Yu Se. She patted Jiang Nianjiao's back to comfort her and said, "If Yu Se is really that kind of person, I will naturally be the first to forgive him." Can’t touch her.”
"It's just Jiaojiao. She is the mistress of the Jiang family now. If you, the daughter, really have any conflict with her, you will be the one who suffers." Concubine Yuxian comforted her softly.
Knowing that Concubine Yuxian was still on his side and that she was thinking about him, Jiang Nianjiao stopped crying.
After talking for a while, Jiang Nianjiao left the palace in a soft sedan chair.
When they arrived outside the imperial city, a carriage from the Jiang family and the driver of the Jiang family were waiting outside Dehe Gate.
At the same time, the coachman only turned around and said something to the person inside the curtain, and then he saw Jiang Zhi, who was dressed in a bright yellow dress and with a body like a willow branch, timidly like a shy flower in spring, sticking out half of her head.
When Jiang Nianjiao came closer, she even showed a very light smile, "Sister."
Then she looked at herself eagerly, and her innocent eyes seemed to be a bit flattering to herself, hoping that she and she could have a word with each other.
However, no matter how innocent she is, the thought that she is the child of his father and his stepmother.
She felt nauseous for no reason.
If it had been in the past, she would have had a huge quarrel with Jiang Zhi.
And he would never ride in the same car as Jiang Zhi.
"Miss, the mistress originally planned to come to pick you up today, but the master said that she was pregnant now, so he didn't let her come." Naturally, the coachman also knew that the eldest lady in the house was not on good terms with the mistress and her daughter. , at this time, he quickly braved the situation and came out to smooth things over.
"Miss Jiang Zhi saw that Madam was feeling unwell, so she offered to pick you up."
The coachman was obviously speaking for Jiang Zhi, and Jiang Nianjiao knew very well that if she made a fuss like this, her impression in the minds of these people would only get worse and worse.
Although she had never taken these people's rumors seriously in the past.
But it was also his own contempt, so once he was in trouble, he could easily fall into an isolated and helpless situation.
When she was the eldest lady, those people naturally did not dare to do anything because of her status.
But once you lose this layer of identity, you will be pushed down by everyone.
And the more powerful she acted, the more she pushed her shady stepmother to the moral high ground of benevolence and righteousness.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao's cold face softened slightly. Although there was still no smile on her face, she still said to Jiang Zhi very coldly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Zhi seemed to be extremely happy because of Jiang Nianjiao's words. Although she had a quiet temperament and did not show her emotions, if you look closely, you can still tell the excitement from the brilliance in her eyes.
After all, she had been in the government for so many years, and Jiang Nianjiao rarely spoke so calmly to her.
This change in Jiang Nianjiao was a bit unexpected in the eyes of the coachman. He was an honest man, but he felt that Miss Jiang Zhi was pitiful, so he couldn't help but say a word for Miss Jiang Zhi.
Who would have thought that the eldest lady did not punish herself for this, but instead accepted Miss Jiang Zhi's favor.
Is this red rain from the sky?
Jiang Nianjiao naturally knew how much waves her light words would cause in people's hearts.
What people love to watch the most are those dramas in which the prodigal son turns back and the evil man turns to good deeds.
Precisely because their expectations for her were extremely low before, as long as she changes slightly, people's direction will naturally change accordingly.
She does not intend to promote herself as a living Bodhisattva like Yu Se.
So when the coachman was stunned, she only frowned and said in a cold voice, "Where is the horse stool?"
The coachman then remembered that he had not set up a horse stool for Jiang Nianjiao, and then he quickly jumped out of the carriage and placed only a horse stool the size of a small bench in front of the carriage.
It wasn't until Jiang Nianjiao got on the carriage that the coachman drove the carriage in the direction of the Jiang Mansion.
Although Jiang Zhi had always been afraid of Jiang Nianjiao, she obviously wanted to talk to Jiang Nianjiao at this time.
This situation seems to have started since the spring banquet that day.
Before he knew her life experience, Jiang Nianjiao actually didn't hate the little girl's little temptation like a little snail poking its head out of the shell.
But now that she knows this, she thinks that all the sins she suffered in her previous life were all due to her mother.
Jiang Nianjiao really couldn't face her with a normal attitude.
Therefore, when she got into the car with only the two of them, she only had a cold face, as if she was trying to use this coldness to dissuade Jiang Zhi from approaching.
After all, she was really afraid that Jiang Zhi would get out of the carriage if she opened her mouth.
It's a pity that Jiang Zhi is not that good at reading people's eyes. She and her mother are simply two extremes.
"Sister, it's okay for you to be in the palace these days." It's just that she has a lack of words and a boring temper. After searching her guts, she can only find this sentence.
Jiang Nianjiao didn't even pay attention to her this time. She just folded her arms and leaned against the carriage as if she was sleeping, don't bother me.
Jiang Zhi peeked in and saw this scene.
Although she wasn't very good at looking at people, she naturally didn't bother her anymore when Jiang Nianjiao looked like this.
Then she didn't know where she took out an embroidery bag and needle and thread, and actually embroidered a pattern on the flower bag. There was a red handkerchief framed on the flower bag. Looking at the pattern and the half-finished embroidery, it seemed that she was planning to embroider a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
With these festive colors and patterns, Jiang Nianjiao could tell at a glance that she was embroidering a wedding handkerchief.
She just felt something strange in her heart. Could it be that during her absence, the Jiang family had already begun to look after her husband?
Her father really cared about his daughter, but she hadn't even gotten married yet, and the second daughter was starting to arrange weddings, and she didn't know who would become the laughing stock in the end.
And I don’t know if her husband this time is still the cruel Zhao Ruian.
However, although she was confused, she did not ask Jiang Zhi. After all, she didn't want to have anything to do with Yu Se and her daughter.
Yu Se seemed to have caught Jiang Nianjiao's gaze. When Jiang Nianjiao stared at the pattern she was embroidering, she shyly raised her head and smiled at him in an extraordinarily friendly way.
Jiang Nianjiao immediately turned her head and was silent for the whole journey.
After arriving at the Jiang Mansion, the four maids serving in the inner chamber of Jiang Nianjiao's house greeted him with great enthusiasm.
"Miss, you have become tired and thin. It must be very hard to serve patients in the palace during this period. It would have been nice if Chunhua had gone with the lady."
"Miss, your favorite Wen Zhexuan storybook and Mei Ren Tang's candied fruits are already in the room."
"Miss, while you were away, that little bitch Zhi Qiao broke your most beloved vase."
"Miss, it's sunny outside, let's hurry back to Qinglan Courtyard, right?"
Hearing what the maids in Jiang Nianjiao's courtyard said, the maid in Yu Se's courtyard hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Miss, our wife is still waiting for you."
After hearing what the girl said, the girl who had just persuaded him to go back to Qinglan Court said nonchalantly, "Go back and tell Madam to stop waiting."
As soon as she said this, the girl who was delivering the message in Yuse Courtyard immediately became extremely embarrassed.
This girl is not Yu Se's personal servant. She is straightforward and not very lovable, but she is loyal. Since she knocked over the master's inkstone last time and was almost sold, she was kept in the outer courtyard for Yu Se. She was loyal to Se.
At this time, other people may not dare to confront their maid because they are worried about their own identities.
But this girl was extremely protective of Yu Se. She had no idea that Yu Se had manipulated her temper and used her as a gun.
