Addicted To The Act, Aren’t You?
Chen Shuyu frowned irritably, “How is that possible? You must not have investigated thoroughly. Continue to investigate for me.
I heard from the Guards beside Master that there’s a Woman with a very close relationship with Master, and she even dared to attack Master. Did this Woman just appear out of thin air?”
Now that Lu Chengyuan wants to facilitate the Marriage between the Xue Family and the Lu Family, she, as the Madam of the Lu Family, although dissatisfied in her heart, can’t be too obvious, so she can only start with that Woman.
She refuses to believe that with that Woman interfering, Lu Cijian can still marry Miss Xue smoothly.
The Maid was stunned, and hesitated for a while before saying, “Although I haven’t seen the Woman Madam mentioned, I once saw Eldest Young Master go to Bao Xiang Shop, and it seems he has some connection with the current Female Shopkeeper of Bao Xiang Shop.”
Chen Shuyu was stunned. When she reacted, a Smile instantly appeared on her face, “Are you sure Lu Cijian and the Shopkeeper of Bao Xiang Shop have a close relationship?”
She had heard about the matter between Bao Xiang Shop and Yan Yue Pavilion a few months ago, but she just listened to it as a joke. She didn’t expect that it would actually be related to Lu Cijian.
The Maid nodded and continued, “I heard that Eldest Young Master stayed in Bao Xiang Shop for a long Time, and even specially sent Pastry from First Grade House.”
The Pastry from First Grade House is very popular in the Capital. Every morning, there will be a long queue in front of the Shop. If you don’t go early to queue, you won’t be able to buy it that day at all, which is very troublesome.
Chen Shuyu only covered her mouth and laughed, “Oh dear, as expected of a bumpkin who grew up on the Estate, she actually took a fancy to a Merchant’s Daughter, hahaha, it’s simply laughable.
This is great. If Lu Chengyuan finds out, he might be angered to death.”
She originally thought that Lu Cijian, who was doing well in the Censorate, would know the convenience of a good Marriage, but she didn’t expect that this guy was actually entangled with a Merchant.
This is a good thing for her.
Thinking, she only leaned over and whispered a few words in the Maid’s ear, and the originally depressed mood was immediately swept away.
Jiang Yimian didn’t know she was being targeted at this moment, and only helplessly looked at the Person by the Lotus Pond who was only feeding the fish and completely ignoring her.
“Father, when are you going to stop being angry? Didn’t I say that nothing happened in Qingnan? Why don’t you believe me!”
Jiang Dazhuang only pretended not to hear, and lowered his head to continue feeding the fish in the Lotus Pond, “Come, come, Little Yellow, Little Red, eat more, you’re so obedient, unlike some people, who leave home for a few months without saying a word before coming back, completely disregarding the mood of the Old Person in the Family.”
He gets angry just thinking about these few months of anxiety. It was fine to go to Qingnan, but they didn’t even tell them.
If they hadn’t pried it out of that kid Zhao Xiaonian’s mouth, they would probably still be kept in the dark.
Jiang Yimian looked at the stubborn back, and was only a little helpless for a while.
When she left the Capital for Qingnan, in order to prevent the Family from worrying, she only told Song Er to take good care of the Family, and said that she was going to do Business.
Who knew that Zhao Xiaonian actually found out, and after being intimidated and lured by Her Father, he spilled everything like beans from a Bamboo Tube.
In addition, with the recent sensational events in the Capital, such as the Flood and the Western Liang People, Her Father was even more angry. She has been back for several days, but hasn’t given her a proper look.
Seeing that His Daughter hadn’t spoken for a long Time, Jiang Dazhuang was also anxious for a while. He just wanted to make His Daughter remember not to run around alone, but he didn’t really want to be angry with His Daughter.
Just as he cautiously looked towards Jiang Yimian, he met the eyes of the Mother and Daughter who were watching the joke.
Wang Fengqin only said with a Smile, “Look, how well your Father can pretend. He’s been pretending to be angry for several days. He’s probably very happy in his heart. When you weren’t back yet, he and Xiao Nuaner and Xiaoye were looking forward to your return every day, listless.
As soon as you came back, he put on an act like a victorious rooster, and he’s addicted to acting.”
They couldn’t eat or sleep well in these few months after learning that Their Daughter had gone to Qingnan.
Because they knew that Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian were not the kind of people who would act carelessly, and would definitely save people on the premise of being able to protect themselves in the face of danger, she was not so worried.
But Jiang Dazhuang couldn’t. He paced around the mansion all day, and several blisters appeared on his mouth from anxiety. If Lu Cijian hadn’t sent a letter back later, he would have packed his things and rushed to Qingnan.
Jiang Dazhuang couldn’t save face for a while, glared at the Two People, and said dissatisfied, “Hmph, daughters are always drawn away when they grow up. I think Yimian has been coaxed away by Lu Cijian. Otherwise, why would she go to Qingnan for no reason?
There’s a Flood and Assassination, what’s so fun about such a dangerous place?”
Wang Fengqin only said dissatisfied, “Hey, what do you mean by that? What’s wrong with Cijian? Aren’t you happy about it? If it weren’t for Cijian in the first place, you wouldn’t know where you’d be now.
Don’t be an ungrateful person. Cijian is such a good Child. I treat him as half a Son. He helped us back then.”
Saying that, she took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Jiang Dazhuang’s ear.
Seeing that the Two People were about to make a scene, Jiang Yimian only said helplessly, “I saw Elder Brother this time in Qingnan.”
The Two People who were originally noisy immediately quieted down when they heard this.
Wang Fengqin was stunned for a long while before she quickly let go of her hand, only thinking that she had heard wrong, “Yi, Yimian, what did you say? You saw Qingyuan?”
Jiang Dazhuang’s face was also full of surprise, and he said in disbelief, “Really? Yimian, did you really see Your Brother in Qingnan? Is he, is he okay? Why didn’t he come back with you?”
Jiang Yimian nodded, “I really saw him, and he’s fine, but…”
“But what? Did something happen to Your Brother? Can we go see him?” Wang Fengqin asked, pulling Jiang Yimian with red eyes, her body Trembling faintly.
Although Jiang Dazhuang’s eyes were not red, he was also staring at Jiang Yimian, for fear that she would say something bad.
It had been more than a year, nearly two years, since he had seen his Eldest Son. He thought he had accepted the Fact that Jiang Qingyuan was gone, but when he heard Yimian mention it at this moment, the trace of hope that had already subsided in his heart appeared again.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian was not speaking for a long Time, the trace of hope in his heart slowly fell back, and his mind was filled with Qingyuan having an accident.
Seeing that the Two People were thinking crookedly, Jiang Yimian quickly said, “Mother, Father, don’t worry, Elder Brother is fine. He is now the Deputy General beside General Wei. He is very powerful and majestic. You didn’t go to see us return to the Capital that day.
Otherwise, you would definitely recognize Elder Brother.”
Wang Fengqin was only stunned for a moment, but didn’t believe the words in Her Daughter’s mouth, and said anxiously with red eyes, “Yimian, just tell us the truth, what happened to Your Elder Brother? We can bear it.
Your Elder Brother is just an Ordinary Person. It’s good enough that he can survive on the Battlefield. How can he be related to General Wei? Stop comforting us.”
They have experienced too much in the past year, and they can accept whatever the outcome for Jiang Qingyuan is.
Jiang Dazhuang only supported Wang Fengqin and nodded seriously, “Yimian, stop trying to please us, tell us quickly, what exactly happened to Qingyuan?”
