"Get up quickly and sit here." The eldest lady took a breath and immediately had someone move the embroidery pier and place it in front of her.
Jiang Shanshan pursed his lips and sat down steadily amidst the surprised eyes.
Jiang Mingxuan paused and sat down too.
The maids and mothers glanced at the eldest lady, as if they didn't expect the two siblings to sit down just like that.
It's really rude.
Jiang Shanshan didn't care what they thought. Anyway, there was no one to teach her about half-sitting and proper manners. How could she know?
"Thank you, Madam." She raised a smile.
Although she is only fourteen years old, she has been eating well recently. She has grown a bit longer and has some flesh on her face. In addition, she has not been out for many years, so she has a flawless complexion. Her complexion is much clearer.
Someone can compare.
What's more, he has such an appearance.
After all, how could the daughter of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto be any different?
The eldest lady and her mother, who had the same idea in their eyes, looked at each other. The former pressed the corners of his eyes and said softly: "No need to be polite, good child, I have wronged you all these years."
"Madam, you are serious. The Jiang family can give us siblings a meal and a shed to shelter from the rain. It is already a gift. How can we feel wronged?"
When the eldest lady heard this, her face stiffened.
"Even though our siblings and the servants usually do menial jobs all day long to make a living, the Jiang family has protected us after all, so that we don't have to live like beggars on the street with nowhere to live."
Jiang Shanshan smiled, with sincere eyes, "So, we siblings are really grateful to the Jiang family and the eldest lady. If there is an opportunity in the future, we will definitely tie a ring with grass in our hands to repay our kindness!"
Jiang Mingxuan lowered his eyes to cover the smile in his eyes.
The mother on the side felt uncomfortable hearing this, "What are you talking about?"
"What's wrong? Is what I said wrong?" Jiang Shanshan was confused, as if he really didn't understand.
My mother was so angry that she turned cold.
But I couldn't come up with a rebuttal.
Seeing this, the eldest lady hurriedly comforted her, "We are all children, so it's okay to have resentment against me in your heart."
As she said this, she gave instructions to Hongyu and cleared away unnecessary people.
Jiang Shanshan was sitting there peacefully. Not to mention, the room was really warm and comfortable, with earth dragons and incense.
So particular.
"Shan Shan!" the eldest lady said, "Can I scream like that?"
"You can call me whatever you want, madam. It's just a name anyway."
"Good child." She looked at Jiang Shanshan's face and suddenly her eyes turned red again, "I know you have had a hard time these years. If you want to blame me, just blame me. I've suffered."
The mother on the side couldn't stand it anymore, "Madam, how can I blame you? It's obviously the old lady's order to do their business, and there's nothing you can do about it..."
"No, I didn't take good care of them. I failed their mother's trust after all."
Hearing this, Jiang Mingxuan raised his head suddenly. The eldest lady noticed him and twitched her lips, "Don't you know? In fact, your mother and I are close friends who have known each other since childhood. The Lin family was involved in such a case back then.
I had no choice but to do my best to rescue her and place her in the house."
As she spoke, she said with some difficulty: "I originally thought that I would secretly send her away after the limelight was over, but I didn't expect that the uncle..."
In fact, they have always known that their biological father is the uncle of the Jiang family. After all, when Lin Zhilan was alive, the uncle of the Jiang family visited several times.
It's just that there aren't many servants in the mansion who know about it.
But the masters all knew it clearly in their hearts.
After the eldest lady said these words, she put all the blame on those two people.
In this way, some of their hostility towards her was eliminated.
Jiang Shanshan and Jiang Mingxuan looked at each other. Sure enough, they both seemed to have relaxed their vigilance and softened the thorns on their bodies.
In fact, only they themselves know whether they believe this statement or not.
Especially Jiang Shanshan, the original owner will be deceived by her, but she will not.
After thinking about it, she said with a cold face: "Madam, you don't have to talk to our siblings about Uncle Jiang's affairs."
Seeing her like this, the eldest lady could only nod, but her eyes were still red, "I have owed you all these years, but you also know that the old lady doesn't like concubines the most, so..."
"I understand, madam, there is no need to say more."
Seeing Jiang Shanshan being led away by her words, he was obviously dissatisfied with the uncle and the old lady. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was hostile.
Finally he smiled with satisfaction, took her and Jiang Mingxuan's hands and clapped them, "Good boy, if you bear with me for a while, I will definitely make plans for you."
Jiang Shanshan's eyes flashed slightly, and although he didn't respond, it was equivalent to acquiescing to her words.
On the contrary, Jiang Mingxuan was a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything due to the presence of outsiders.
Next, the eldest lady asked about Jiang Mingxuan again. She went to the Duke's Mansion and saw the prince again, so naturally she wanted to ask some questions.
Knowing that it was the Crown Prince who was meeting him in person, the eldest lady smiled and said, "The Crown Prince of Prince Jingguo is a very famous young man. Since he has some appreciation for you, he should seize this opportunity."
Jiang Mingxuan bowed his head and responded.
After speaking, the eldest lady showed all her tenderness, especially to children like her two siblings who had been without parents since childhood.
If you are an ordinary person, you will have to trust and rely on the other person wholeheartedly after a few times.
In the end, they can be eaten alive.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shanshan curled his lips and inadvertently glanced at Hong Yu who was staring at them, but the latter slowly lowered his eyes.
"Well, I can't keep you for a long time, otherwise the old lady will..." The eldest lady said, unnaturally skipping it, and just said: "Go back now! Remember to tell me if you have anything."
"Even if I can't help you, I can still show you the way."
The eldest lady said and glanced at Hongyu.
The two siblings stood up, bowed, and followed Hong Yu out silently.
Before leaving, Jiang Shanshan looked back and saw that the eldest lady was still watching them tenderly.
She pursed her lips and turned to leave.
It wasn't until the two of them opened the curtain and disappeared from sight that she put away her expression and calmly took the tea and sipped it.
"What do you think of these two children?"
"My servant feels that the younger brother is not easy to get along with, but the elder sister seems to be much stupider, so there should be nothing to worry about."
The eldest lady narrowed her eyes and nodded, "If he was easy to get along with, this wouldn't happen."
As she said this, she sneered, "A biting dog doesn't bark. Let's see what that child wants to do!"
The mother lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, Madam, but these two infancy children will definitely not be able to escape from your hands."
In response, the eldest lady just twitched the corners of her lips.
After coming out of the main courtyard, Jiang Shanshan seemed to be a different person. She had her hands behind her back and said to Hongyu who was leading the way: "Aunt Hongyu, do you think the eldest lady is really my mother's best friend?"
"What the eldest lady said is not wrong." Hongyu said calmly.
"Then...if that's the case, why would you personally send your best friend to your husband's bed?"
Hongyu suddenly paused when he heard this, turned around and looked at her sharply.
"Fifth girl, be careful what you say!"
