Chapter 212: Poisoned Mouth
silence.
Silence is a silent language.
Sometimes, silence is rejection.
Lu Qingyao thought to herself, "Could it be that Madam Fang has some serious illness?"
Doesn't she know what Fang Xuezheng did to Yan'er?
They still have the nerve to bring up marriage.
How shameless!
Thinking this to myself, I still smiled...
Just then, Xiuxiu arrived at the door.
She wanted to see what Madam Fang wanted to say to her sister, but instead she overheard these words.
Without pausing for a moment, she rushed inside, "Sister, Miaomiao has an upset stomach and is looking for you, quick... quick, go see her..."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull her older sister.
Regardless of what Mrs. Fang wants to say, nothing is more important than the children.
Lu Qingyao's expression changed to one of anxiety. "Mrs. Fang, please sit down for a while. I'll go check on the child..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly followed Xiuxiu away.
Undeterred, Madam Fang chased after him a few steps, calling out, "Madam Jiang, promise me you'll go again..."
Mrs. Fang paced back and forth in the flower hall.
Staying is not an option, leaving is not an option either.
Her daughter had just been brought over by someone.
Since the officials' families in Jiangzhou didn't have invitations, they had to swallow their pride and try their luck.
He wanted to curry favor with Princess Liang.
The wives of merchants surrounded Madam Lu, all wanting to marry her.
She changed her mind.
Princess Liang is not someone you can easily win over.
Even if we see her, we might not necessarily take her seriously.
Why should she go to such lengths when she can find something nearby?
My husband has told me that the second son of the Jiang family was exceptionally talented at a young age and was also taught by the old tutor Cui.
He is destined for great things.
Unfortunately, Xian'er is quite a bit older than him.
otherwise……
What she actually had her eye on was Jiang Ziyan.
However, the eldest brother, Jiang Zifeng, is also quite good. He looks honest and kind, and he's probably afraid of his wife.
If Xian'er marries him, she will have to address Grand Tutor Cui as "teacher" just like her fiancé.
With this kind of relationship, it would be easier to see Princess Liang.
There's no need for this kind of anxious waiting.
If in the future, Minister Qi really can't tolerate Fang Jia anymore, and Jiang Zifeng comes to him for help, Grand Tutor Cui certainly won't sit idly by.
Young Master Cui is a Hanlin scholar and a close advisor to the emperor. If only he and his son would say a few good words for His Majesty.
Husband, you don't need to be so timid and fearful in managing the family.
Think about it this way.
She had no choice but to stay.
Even if it costs me my reputation, I have to get this marriage done.
She had observed that Xian'er had a good chance.
The officials' wives who came today are all here for Princess Liang, and most of the wealthy people are here for the two young men.
Even the wealthiest families are still merchants.
Shang is the last generation.
In terms of background and appearance.
Among all the merchant daughters, none can compare to Xian'er.
Lu Qingyao had no idea that Madam Fang had so many ulterior motives.
However, one can still roughly guess some of her intentions.
I just don't know where she gets such confidence?
She asked Xiuxiu, "Has Qi Caiwei arrived yet?"
"Sister, I'm going to take a look..." I have to come, even if I don't want to.
Xiuxiu said and quickly left.
Lu Qingyao quickened her pace, thinking that the young man from the Sun family must be getting impatient.
I wonder if my daughter is up to her old tricks again.
When Mother arrived at Second Brother's room, Jiang Miaomiao had already slipped away with Xi'er.
Right now, she's sitting on a rock by the lotus pond, barefoot, swinging her little legs.
The new embroidered shoes are beautiful.
They're uncomfortable to wear and hurt my feet.
A little red bird perched on her shoulder, chirping and reporting to her the conversation between her mother and the ladies.
When he heard that Mrs. Fang wanted to marry her daughter to her eldest brother.
Jiang Miaomiao was so startled she almost fell into the pond.
Fortunately, Xi'er was quick-witted and lifted her up, only her toes barely touched the water.
Xi'er placed the girl on the grass.
Patting her chest, she exclaimed, "I was so scared! Miss, you scared me to death..."
Didn't they say they almost fell into the water before? And now they're playing in the water again.
No wonder the lady wanted to punish her.
Jiang Miaomiao tilted her head back with a grin and said in a childish voice, "With Xi'er protecting me, I'm not afraid..."
She knew that Xi'er could swim.
There are countless tricks in family dramas where people are pushed into lakes, so the maids around Aunt Qianxue can all swim.
Just in case.
To avoid being pushed into the water and inexplicably losing one's reputation.
After all, my aunt has such a background and looks.
The woman was jealous, and the man coveted her.
This is the norm now.
Jiang Miaomiao and Xi'er helped her put on her shoes and socks, then carried Qiuqiu and Dada to the front yard.
Xi'er followed closely.
The people in the mansion today are a bit complicated; what if some unscrupulous person sneaks in?
A young girl, just beginning to bloom, stood among the flowers.
Her features were exquisite, and she possessed a certain charm.
She wore a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which almost blended into the chrysanthemum pattern.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that it was rare for young ladies from wealthy families in ancient times to be ugly.
One whiteness covers all ugliness.
Even though her facial features are average, her skin is very good.
They were vying for attention and beauty.
It looks quite pleasing to the eye.
The young lady admired the chrysanthemums and smelled their fragrance...
Then it's time to reach out and pick it.
"You can only look, you can't pick them..." Jiang Miaomiao looked up at her with her little head tilted up.
Fang Jingxian was startled. She looked down and saw that the baby was quite pretty.
It just looks kind of silly and cute.
There's a kind of silliness to it.
There were still crumbs on his mouth and hands.
She frowned and asked, "Whose child are you? You scared me."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Jiang Miaomiao apologized, tugging at her skirt.
But the girl shook him off.
Xiao Miaomiao almost fell, but Xi'er caught her.
She glared angrily at Fang Jingxian, "Girl, how could you be so rough on a child? What if she gets hurt!"
Fang Jingxian smiled gently, "Oh! Kid, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
This woman actually copied her!
As expected, Sister Yuan is still the best.
In this world, only Sister Yuan can be her sister-in-law.
Jiang Miaomiao pouted, looking at her with a wronged expression, "My older brother doesn't like you. You're too old. My older brother likes girls younger than her..."
"You little brat, who are you calling old..."
Fang Jingxian turned green in an instant.
Wait, who is this child?
She suddenly remembered something, paused, and asked Jiang Miaomiao, "Who is your older brother?"
"Jiang Zifeng... my older brother is Jiang Zifeng, he's younger than you..."
The cub's voice was soft and sweet, yet extremely lethal.
Xi'er saw that the girl's face had turned red, and she was clenching her fists, looking like she wanted to punch someone.
She quickly covered her little darling's mouth and ran away.
I wonder which young lady the young master has offended this time.
That little mouth of hers must be poisoned.
A woman's biggest pet peeve is being told she's old, especially when she's still in her prime.
I'm so angry I could die...
