I came here at the same time, happy only for Miss Jiang.

"I don't have such good fortune like you. I can only rely on a servant girl to help!"

I held out my hand to the Rookie behind me. She quickly took out the rosewood box and gave it to me.

Inside was the jade pendant I had beaten to a pulp.

"Don't mind me. Although the fight wasn't perfect, I did it myself."

"Let's see what you're talking about!" Big Miss Jiang smiled as she accepted the box. "As soon as I look at that unfamiliar needle technique, I can tell that it belongs to you. You don't need to say anything!"

Big Miss Jiang, who was dressed in a red concave dress and had her hair done up in a bun, was wearing a scarlet gold hairpin. She was exceptionally lively and playful today.

"How is your jade box?"

I leered at her.

Madame Jiang was afraid that her daughter might end up marrying into a family, so she arranged for a whole box of top-quality jade artifacts to be married off to Miss Jiang for her to bring over.

Now that he saw Miss Jiang dressed in gold, silver, and green, she clearly didn't look like one of those poor families.

"Ah, it's all in my library now. It's become a dead thing!"

Eldest Miss Jiang raised her eyebrows, looking extremely happy.

To be able to become a dead thing was also a blessing.

It would be really inappropriate if he had to rush out to pawn the bride right after he had married into the family.

As a woman, Big Miss Jiang naturally didn't have to hide from the other wives. Today was her first day, and all the women in the family had pushed her to the seat to the left of Madame Jiang. Grandmother was the oldest, so she was seated in the main seat.

I toasted a glass of wine and replied before fleeing to Second Miss Jiang's courtyard.

For some reason, none of the madams brought their young mistress to the banquet today. I was the only one there, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Madame Jiang smiled and instructed her mother to send me to Second Miss Jiang's place.

Just as I walked into the courtyard, I saw Second Young Miss Jiang's maid, Qingxi, walking in with a plate of large, watery apples. When she saw me, she hurriedly revealed a smile and said, "Young Miss Yang, you've come!"

Ever since I helped Second Young Miss Jiang out, this servant girl has become especially friendly towards me.

I waved at her with a smile, gesturing for her to get up and speak.

"Young Master is playing chess with Second Miss inside."

Qingxi smiled as she led the way for me.

His mother cleared her throat and said, "Go in and tell the young master that there is a female servant coming. Tell him to leave through the back door!"

I was confused.

The last time I was here, didn't Madame Jiang try to persuade me to marry Eldest Young Master Jiang? Why did she change her mind at this meeting?

This is good too, it saves me strength.

However, I don't know why, but there is always a trace of unease in my heart.

After standing in the yard for a while, I noticed that the persimmon tree by the yard wall was extremely adorable. Second Miss Jiang had already brought a bunch of servants to welcome me.

After not seeing her for a few days, Second Miss Jiang had unexpectedly reduced her recruitment by quite a bit. Wearing a snow-green cotton sweater, she appeared exceptionally fresh, and her complexion had also become a bit brighter.

"Look at our bride! She's really enjoying a happy occasion!"

I greeted her with a smile.

Unexpectedly, a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on Second Young Miss Jiang's face.

Every time she smiles like that, it's definitely going to be bad!

"Little sister Yang, I'll take care of this for you. You can go back now!"

She ignored me and instructed the servants who brought me here.

Jiang mama followed behind, leaving with a smile upon hearing Second Miss Jiang's instructions.

She wasn't someone who would follow us around normally, so why did she give up now?

They thought it was just a banquet to return to the sect, but why was there something odd about it?

Second Miss Jiang did not say much before she said that she had some things she wanted to say to me and sent the people around her out.

I sighed to myself.

"Still not coming out?"

I held the cup of tea, which was still somewhat hot, and carefully sipped at it.

Second Miss Jiang turned pale with fright. Instinctively, she turned her head to look at the large mahogany wardrobe at the corner of the room.

This person was really something. He didn't do anything serious, nor did he hide in a proper place. He just happened to hide in his sister's wardrobe.

"I always knew that you were a bit dexterous, but I didn't expect you to know so soon!"

Today, Jiang Ming was wearing a azure and white gown. He laughed heartily as he pushed open the door from the closet. He waved a folding fan with a crashing sound, as if he was inviting a noble young master.

However, he still had to ignore the cloud veil that he wore when he came out, as well as the red plum blossom and snow bunting that he wore on his head.

Second Miss Jiang and I couldn't help laughing when we saw his sorry state.

Jiang Ming blushed a little as he took his sister's belongings off his body in a gentle manner. He respectfully threw them into the cabinet and closed it with a "dang" sound.

"Big brother!"

Second Miss Jiang called Jiang Ming angrily, blaming him for being so rude to her expensive and weak clothes.

"I'll buy it for you later!"

Jiang Ming waved his hand, signaling his sister not to be long-winded.

"You've been in famine lately!" Second Miss Jiang glared at Jiang Ming, who was sitting across from me. Then she opened the cabinet to clean up the mess of clothes inside.

Surprisingly, Jiang Ming sneaked a peek at me.

I smiled at him and offered him a cup of tea. He turned his head away from the cup.

There was no other way. I laid the tea gently on the table in front of him.

"How did you know I was hiding in the closet?"

I thought he had something serious to say to me, but instead he asked me this question.

I laughed and pointed to Second Miss Jiang, who was tidying up the things that her unfortunate brother messed up.

"This foolish girl!"

Jiang Ming cursed in a low voice, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it, I still want to eat."

I poured myself another cup of tea.

Since I was coming to the Jiang family, I discussed going home two hours earlier with my mothers. At this moment, most of the breakfast had already been digested, and he was planning to empty the city.

"Why don't you let us eat together!"

Jiang Ming was in high spirits.

"Please spare me! How can we two girls eat so much! "

Jiang Ming smiled in embarrassment. "My grandmother disagrees with our marriage."

This person was too direct!

When I first saw Second Miss Jiang's tangerine persimmon, I could have guessed the reason behind the Jiang Clan's 180 degree reversal of attitude. When I saw that Mama Jiang had finally relaxed and left, I more or less confirmed what I was guessing in my heart.

Ben was ordinary.

I carefully asked about the Jiang family, but Jiang Ming was one of the best kids in his generation.

How could the Jiang family allow him to marry a merchant's daughter?

Fortunately, I didn't have the extravagance to marry him, so it wasn't really a loss.

I smiled and nodded, indicating that I already knew.

Although Second Miss Jiang has her back facing us, her movements are much slower. It is obvious that she is listening attentively to our every move.

Jiang Ming isn't the kind of person who would purposely hide what he's thinking, not to mention that his sister is probably his assistant. He probably wouldn't mind if his sister knows about us, so I tried my best to ignore Second Miss Jiang's passion.

"Sigh!" Jiang Ming rested his chin on his hand and stared at me like he was looking at a monster. "Why do you have such a reaction?" Shouldn't you cry? "

I was actually a little sad, but I didn't want to show it to anyone.

"What you said makes no sense. Why should I be sad?"

I smiled at him.

"Sigh!" Jiang Ming took a deep breath and said, "Why is a woman like you so hard to deal with?"

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. What does this have to do with my tenacity?

Clearly, Second Miss Jiang was suppressing her smile at the side.

"Then what should I do?" I mocked, "Could it be that I'm asking your Eldest Young Master Jiang to elope with me?"

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up as he nodded his head.

Why would a boy this age only think of elopement?

I'm not Hong Fu. Where did all my courage come from?

"Young Master Jiang, you're in love with me wrongly!" I couldn't hold back my laughter as I shook my head repeatedly. "You think too highly of me!"

"You don't want to?"

Jiang Ming's eyes were actually a bit red.

"I don't want to."

I solemnly nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Since that's impossible, I'm unwilling to drag my feet and give him hope.

"Am I not nice to you?"

Looking at the sad face of Jiang Ming, I don't know why, but I suddenly recall the family justice that was waiting for me at home.

The child once held my hand with a sad face and asked me, "Am I in the wrong? "Why doesn't Aunt like me?"

I thought Jiang Ming often walked around in the martial arts world and was already familiar with the affairs of the world. I didn't expect him to be so simple.

What is pure good or bad to measure?

In the eyes of a young man like Jiang Ming, what he thought was "good" was to try his best to be good to others in his own way, but he didn't know that the real "good" was to give others the freedom and respect they needed, and let them get the "good" they wanted.

But looking at his red eyes and pursed lips, I really couldn't bear to hurt him again.

He didn't know how much he was going to suffer on the long road of his life, and I had no intention of making things difficult for him.

"Alright!"

I smiled and nodded.

"Then why don't you come with me?" He suddenly shook my hand and said, "I will treat you well. I have been feeding myself since a long time ago. We can live in seclusion in the martial arts world!"

Although they were both eloping, the advantage of him compared to Xue Lang was that he didn't need to rely on the breathing of his family to be able to have a safe haven.

"I don't want to hide my name!"

I sighed and shook my head.

Which girl didn't want to enter the sect through marriage?

It makes perfect sense for me to say this, Jiang Ming said irrefutably.

Jiang Ming and I fell into silence.

Second Miss Jiang also silently walked over and sat down.

At this moment, they only needed to see who would be the first to speak before being at a disadvantage.

"Believe in my brother, he really loves you. He will definitely treat you well!"

Second Miss Jiang couldn't help but advise me.

"Are you willing to live a precarious life with a man, and be despised by the family without a name or share?"

I asked Second Miss Jiang.

She had nothing to say.

"Alright, wait for me!" Jiang Ming nodded and turned away.

Second Miss Jiang stared blankly at her brother's back, unable to utter a word.

"Could they send food in? I am very hungry! "

I gleefully asked Second Miss Jiang.

"You …"

Second Miss Jiang looked at me as if she had seen a ghost and was speechless for a long time.

After such a life, I found it more fun to love anyone than to love myself. It has long been an extravagant hope for me to love someone so much that I can forget about myself and live on in love, just like I did in my previous life. I just want to live a peaceful life.

It was no longer the experience of an old man like me.

After eating a boring meal, Second Miss Jiang felt very indignant for her big brother and angrily ate only half a bowl of rice.

The stewed venison on the table tasted delicious and tender, while the prawns in Longjing tasted fresh and tender … All sorts of dishes fit my tastes, and I ate two big bowls before I stopped.

After dinner, the maidservants set up some fruits and candied fruits. Big Miss Jiang came over with a smile on her face. The three of us gathered together to chat, adding a bit more liveliness.

"Now that you sisters are married off, I don't even have someone to talk to!"

I couldn't help but laugh and complain.

"Second sister went to Ping Cheng to get married, but she still came back after the first month."

Big Miss Jiang is still as virtuous as ever, she smiled as she peeled apples for us to eat.

The first month of marriage should not be empty, otherwise it would be unlucky.

"Then second brother-in-law is also coming to Ping City?"

I chewed on the apple in my mouth.

Eldest Miss Jiang glanced at her sister teasingly, thinking that she was too shy to do anything other than smile and explain for her: "Cousin wants to be under daddy."

It seemed that Madame Jiang was determined to keep this reckless woman by her side.

I think Madame Jiang was the wisest person to do this.

Second Miss Jiang was not like Eldest Miss Jiang, who did things recklessly and did not think twice about it. She was also rather outspoken and straightforward. With such a personality, if one were to look at it from a different angle, it was very likely that he would be a fool. Madame Jiang had married her into her own family, and had also specially moved her son-in-law to her side. Wasn't this a form of protection for her youngest daughter?

"That's great. I'm afraid that in the future, second sister won't have the time to agree to me."

For a long time, it was just me and Miss Jiang who were joking. Mentioning her father-in-law, Big Miss Jiang laughed and praised, "In the end, how much better would it be if she wasn't his biological daughter? "That's good enough!"

To be able to insist on marrying Miss Jiang into her mother-in-law, I don't think she's the type to have any thoughts about herself.

Big Miss Jiang's words made a lot of sense.

A wife was a wife, as long as she was polite and passed the time. They don't have any plans. What are they going to do to pamper you as if you were their own?

"To tell you the truth, I have another request for you."

Big Miss Jiang suddenly stopped laughing and a red cloud flew by her cheek. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, as if she was a shy little daughter-in-law.

As long as you don't want me to run away with you!

"I did the same thing a few times, but it was always inferior to yours. Can you give me a few more boxes?"

Thinking about the use of that spice, I couldn't help but laugh.

We looked at each other and laughed, each of us blushing. Big Miss Jiang could not help but grumble in a low voice, "How can a girl like you know so much!"
