C19 It Was Time to Sleep

On the way back, Jiang Louyue brought a box with him. He kept it in his hand secretively and never showed it to anyone.

Even in the carriage, he had to put it next to his feet. It was as if only by looking at and touching the box could he feel at ease.

Caisang had not noticed the box at first. Along the way, Jiang Louyue was restless. He would even call Jiaojiao out and say some greasy words.

However, on the way back, he kept holding the box and did not say a word.

Even Caisang felt curious.

What exactly was in the box that could make the young master of the Jiang family so important?

This doubt persisted until the two of them arrived at the Jiang family. The servants of the Jiang family hurriedly went up to welcome them.

When the other party was about to pick up the box, Jiang Louyue quickly avoided him and held the box with his hand, protecting it with great care.

"Is it worth a thousand taels of gold?" Caisang could not help but ask out of curiosity.

Jiang Louyue was stunned for a moment and held the box tighter, "It is more important than gold."

"What is it? Night pearls?" The more he said, the more curious Caisang became. He chased after her and asked.

"No." Jiang Louyue shook her head and said with a helpless smile, "It's not something that is valuable. It's just something very important to me."

"Even more important than gold?" Caisang squinted her eyes and looked up and down at the box, wanting to see through the box to see what was inside.

Jiang Louyue thought for a moment, then his gaze fell on Caisang's face. His gaze was gentle and filled with determination and longing, "It's even more important than my life."

Caisang was stunned. Before he could react, Jiang Louyue had already carried the box into the study room and didn't even have time to greet the madame.

Caisang's legs were not convenient, so after he greeted the madame, he was directly carried back to the west courtyard by the servant girl. Then the doctor came and checked Caisang again. The dinner was sent to the room by the madame's maidservants, and they ate in the room.

In the Jiang family, other than Jiang Louyue, who had changed her personality, the only one who was good to Caisang was the madame. The rest, even the servant girls, looked down on her background.

Caisang did not like to fight for anything with others, and it was fortunate that the madame protected him, so the servant girls did not bully him.

According to what people said, Jiang Louyue had dismissed all the servants and was fiddling with his box in the study room. He had been fiddling with it for a long time, and he had never eaten before.

Thinking about what he had said earlier, Caisang was even more confused. What exactly was it that could make him so precious?

"It will be Miss Wenn's birthday in a few days, right?"

The servant girl's voice came from afar. Caisang originally didn't want to hear people gossip, but just as he was about to stand up, he heard another sentence, "I wonder what gift Young Master will give this time. Last year, the peacock hairpin was a big deal. I heard that Miss Wenn always wore it."

Caiang sat down again, thinking that her legs were not convenient to move, so she could not leave. It was not like she was deliberately listening to the people around her.

While she was thinking about it, her ears leaned to the side and continued to listen.

"I heard that when the Young Master came back, he brought a big box with him. It's so precious. Maybe the box is the birthday gift that he brought to Miss Wenn."

Caiang's hand, which was placed on her knees, suddenly clenched. The smile on her face was a little self-deprecating.

This Miss Wenn was the mole in Jiang Louyue's heart, the white moonlight in her eyes. No wonder she treasured that box so much. So it was like this...

"I also think so. No matter how I look at it, Miss Wenn is a match for our Young Master. That is the daughter of the State Preceptor. In terms of wealth, she is several times more than that witch."

"That's true. How could she be so virtuous? If the Master hadn't made the engagement before his death, how could he have married such a person?"

"I don't know what the Master thought. Why did he make such a marriage for the Young Master when he was alive? Anyway, the elders who made the engagement have already passed away. It would be better to just abolish it... Ah, madam!"

The two young maidens suddenly stopped and knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. They did not even dare to raise their heads.

"If I catch you again and gossip, I'll cut off your tongues. Anyway, I'm a witch, so I can do anything." Caiang's voice was especially gloomy as she glanced at them.

Today, for some reason, the room was unbearably hot despite the fact that it was only April. Caisang couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so someone helped her to the pavilion to take a breeze.

However, when she heard these words, the heat that had just subsided rushed up to her.

"What are you still standing there for?! Do you want me to ask you to leave?!" With that, Caisang flicked her fingers, and the jade pendant on her neck flashed. Suddenly, two black shadows appeared and floated in front of the two maids.

"Ah!"

The two maids turned pale with fright and hurriedly got up from the ground and ran far away. Their screams were still echoing in the distance.

It was not like she had never heard such discussions before, and she had never seen Caisang listening to them. Today, she was actually using a little ghost to scare people.

Caisang sat alone in the pavilion. The more she blew the wind, the less fiery she became.

Caisang only felt that she didn't like anything. She raised her hand to knock over the walking stick next to her and treated it like Jiang Louyue. She then lifted her foot and kicked it twice.

"Jiaojiao, how disgusting." Caisang stared at the walking stick and clenched her fists, as if she was about to hit it. "With your own beloved, why do you have to provoke others?!"

After staring at the walking stick for a long time, Caisang pursed her lips and cursed, "Disgusting..."

If it was like before, Caisang would not have cared about Jiang Louyue at all. After all, when she married into the family, she already knew that Jiang Louyue didn't like her. Jiang Louyue had a big miss that he liked.

However, Jiang Louyue should not have recruited her.

The person who chased her to Qujiang was Jiang Louyue, and the person who called her Jiaojiao was Jiang Louyue. She said that she only wanted to care about you, and that her heart was in sync with yours. But in her heart, she was still pretending to be that young miss.

She couldn't even touch the birthday gift that Jiang Louyue gave her from Qujiang.

Cai Sang pursed her lips and frowned. While scolding Jiang Louyue, she reached out her hand and plucked off the leaves of the innocent plum blossom.

Sensing her sour thoughts, Cai Sang was shocked. She shook her head and chased Jiang Louyue out of her head.

She picked up the crutch that was thrown to the side and limped back to her room in the west court.

Jiang Louyue, who had been cut in half a thousand times in her head, sat in front of her bed with a very obedient posture.

"Didn't you play with your treasure box in your study? What are you doing here?" Cai Sang didn't even realize that her tone was filled with bitterness.

Jiang Louyue reached out her hand and patted the bed. Her eyes were bright as she said, "It's late. Jiaojiao, it's time to sleep."

Cai Sang, "..."
