The sun has not come out yet, and the May morning is still a bit cold.
Tan Yue supported Mrs. Jiang and walked by the Jiang family's pond to relieve her depression.
She hesitated to speak several times, but she kept her mouth shut due to her status.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but chuckle, "Just ask if you're curious."
"Old Madam." Tan Yue could no longer suppress her doubts, "Was the girl really abandoned by her biological mother?"
This is extremely explosive news even in Fengjing.
Even cows know how to lick their calves, why are humans worse than beasts?
"It can be said to be her, or it can be said to be the Liao family." Mrs. Jiang sighed, "She gave birth prematurely and was too weak. I took care of my daughter in the first few months. After half a year, she was in good health. If you insist on taking the child away, I, as a grandmother, can't stop you."
As a result, letting go lasted eleven years.
"The clues found are due to the too slender bones of Jiang Chenghuan's child." Mrs. Jiang said calmly, "The old general is tall and tall, and I also have some bones. The juniors born to him will be either Chengyuan or Chengfeng. , including Chengyu, they are all more than tall, but not slender enough."
"Even when my daughter was a baby, her calves were round." Old Mrs. Jiang gestured with her hands, "But only when she came to Jiang Chenghuan, she was slender and fragile, yet stubborn and sensitive. She was different from all the children in the Jiang family."
At first it was just doubts, and then it was investigation.
Mrs. Jiang still couldn't understand, "If Mrs. Liao is here to take revenge on the Jiang family, she treats Chengyuan very well. I can't figure out why she insists on abandoning her daughter and the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family."
Until it was found on the head of the Jiang family's brother-in-law, the Lu family.
Because he made a big mistake back then, the entire Lu family was implicated. He was demoted, had his house confiscated, and was blamed for his crimes.
The Lu Liao family was hit hard and died of illness not long after. The son of the Lu family fell into despair and lingered in the brothel. The legitimate daughter, who was waiting for food, could only be thrown back to the Liao family, and there has been no trace since then.
"Could it be that Madam was coerced by the Liao family and had to abandon the girl and accept the third young lady?" Tan Yue was suddenly excited and quickly denied herself, "But Madam's attitude towards the girl is too indifferent. It seems that she wants to give glory to her niece. In the future, I took the initiative to abandon my own daughter."
How sad it would be if the girl knew this.
Luckily she still has a grandmother.
"I have no conclusive evidence of what the Liao family has done. I have been holding back because I wanted to wait for my stepfather to come back and deal with it." Mrs. Jiang said indifferently, "If the Liao family can understand the general situation and take the overall situation into consideration, the Liao family will still have a few good days. .”
But it was only a few days.
No one can change the Jiang family's legitimate daughter and still suck the Jiang family's blood.
No matter whether it is the Liao family or the Liao family, anyone who is tempted will pay the price.
Mrs. Jiang sneered and walked away with Tan Yue.
The sun playfully showed half of its face from the east, and the warmth that belongs to summer descended on the world. I don’t know if the little girl who was sleeping soundly woke up from the heat.
Tan Yue helped Mrs. Jiang back to Deren Hall, only to find that Jiang Sheng had already gotten up.
She was still a little sleepy, holding a sandalwood box in her hand, which contained a set of sapphire heads and faces. She was so rich that she was blinding.
The chatty little maid's face was full of envy, "The third lady is so generous. She gave such an expensive head and honor. She is more generous than the eldest son, and more generous than the madam, but it's just a little late..."
It was actually sent by Jiang Chenghuan.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes dimmed and she walked slowly into the room.
Jiang Sheng finally came to his senses, stood up with the sandalwood box in hand, and whispered, "Grandma, please return it for me. I have already refused. She insisted on giving it to me, and she also said she would apologize for Mrs. Jiang."
Mrs. Jiang's eyes became more profound and she glanced at Tan Yue.
Tan Yue took it quickly and said, "I'll return it on behalf of the girl."
Then he turned around hurriedly.
Only then did Jiang Sheng take a deep breath, and some inexplicable emotions disappeared.
Mrs. Jiang touched her head lovingly, "Why don't you sleep more?"
Jiang Sheng scratched his head, "I'm already full of sleep. If I go back to bed, I just lie on the bed and stare. My brothers never stay in bed. They work very hard, and I have to work hard too."
After saying this, she realized that this was not the second entrance to the small courtyard. She lowered her long eyelashes to hide her emotions.
Mrs. Jiang let out a long sigh.
Some time is missed if it is missed. Even if a heart is full of love, it cannot change the status quo.
Just like Jiang Sheng's favorite people are always his brothers.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't suppress her sadness, but she felt that she should be happy. At least Jiang Sheng still had five vigorous young people accompanying him during his most difficult time.
"Your brothers are all excellent." She said softly, "They are also very kind people."
After recovering, I didn’t abandon the sister who seemed to be the most useless.
"Of course." Jiang Sheng began to be proud again, "My elder brother's literary talent is unparalleled. He gets first place in every exam. I'm still waiting for him to get the top prize."
"My second brother is the best at abacus, my third brother is the most powerful in martial arts, my fourth brother is a kind-hearted healer, and my fifth brother is the smartest."
She said these words more than once, but every time she mentioned them she was full of interest.
Mrs. Jiang also followed her, "Oh? Are you really that good?"
"No water added at all!" Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips and kept talking with his little mouth.
From fighting against the county magistrate, to passing the examination as a boy student, winning the title of scholar, and then passing the imperial examination.
From the ruined temple, to Xieyang County, then to Anshui County, and then to Fengjing.
They have met many people and dealt with many things. They have been bullied and vented their anger. Their lives are exciting and their futures are brilliant.
Mrs. Jiang listened with great interest.
The past written on paper is too boring. Jiang Sheng is eloquent and occasionally adds action demonstrations, which are lifelike and makes the old lady laugh several times.
It wasn't until Tan Yue brought breakfast that the grandfather and grandson stopped still.
The chef in the big kitchen liked the eldest daughter very much and specially made meat porridge for her, which was paired with sticky rice. It tasted soft, glutinous and delicious.
Jiang Sheng drank three bowls in a row before stopping, holding his belly and muttering, "I secretly ate new delicious food behind my brothers' back."
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help laughing.
After looking at the large bowl of meat porridge, she said softly, "Then let's go give them some."
Jiang Sheng turned his head suddenly, his face full of disbelief.
"Tan Yue and the others don't like to drink meat porridge, and the Jiang family doesn't have the tradition of eating leftovers." Mrs. Jiang's expression remained unchanged, "It would be a pity to throw it away, why not give it a favor."
Tan Yue nodded with tears in her eyes: Yes, I don’t like to drink meat porridge.
Jiang Sheng stretched out his little face and nodded with a smile on his face, "Okay, of course it's good."
Although they had only been separated for more than a day, she already missed her brothers very much, and she didn't know how surprised they would be when they saw her.
Under Tan Yue's neat management, in less than half an hour, the grandfather and grandson were sitting in the carriage, and He Rui rushed to the second entrance of the small courtyard.
Still a familiar courtyard, still a familiar threshold.
Jiang Sheng jumped out of the car on his hands and knees. Before he could knock on the door, he heard loud howling inside.
"Where is my sister? Where has my sister gone? How come she has been away for two months and she is still dead when she comes back."
"Oh oh oh, give me back my sister, give me back!!!"
