"Big Sister told to say that."
Xia He muttered.
Just at that mont, Dong Xue’s voice suddenly ca from outside the door, "Second Sister, the lady has arrived!"
Xia He was startled and hurriedly straightened her dress.
Jiang Shouzhong was so frightened that he pulled up his trousers, and before he had fastened his belt, Jiang Yi directly pushed the door open and entered.
Looking at the panicked two, the woman rolled her eyes playfully, "I go off playing the villain, spend my efforts matching you two, and here you are, enjoying yourselves. Did I interrupt? Should I wait outside for a while? A cup of tea’s ti should be enough, right?"
Xia He’s face flushed, and she lowered her head without speaking.
Jiang Shouzhong awkwardly said, "Can’t you knock?"
"Knock what door."
Jiang Yi waved her hand dismissively, "Go to your wife, that girl might be crying now. Go comfort her, since marrying Xia He is sothing you need to discuss with her."
Qingchen was crying?
Jiang Shouzhong’s expression changed, and after speaking to Xia He, he hurried out the door.
Seeing the man’s action, Jiang Yi muttered to herself, "This couple, each pretends to be more proper than the other on the surface, but actually, they both care about each other."
"Co here, Xia He, let the lady talk to you."
Jiang Yi sighed softly, sat on the chair, and gestured for Xia He to co closer. She helplessly said, "It’s sowhat unfavorable for the teacher; we missed the opportunity in the Capital. That girl has finally reacted, realizing her own man is a treasure, and she is unwilling to let go."
Xia He blinked, wanting to say sothing but stopped herself.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, embracing the young girl, "But don’t worry, things will always be resolved. If Jiang Mo is a man, he will handle his own wife. If he can’t even handle his own wife, then he shouldn’t marry you."
Xia He softly said, "Jiang Mo respects us very much."
"Hah, respect wouldn’t make him fickle."
Jiang Yi snorted at that but, recalling the man’s usual attitude towards the beauties around him, her expression softened a bit, and she said with a smile, "He indeed is different from other n, hypocritical yet also straightforward."
Xia He smiled, a light blush on her face.
"Your teacup?"
"Hmm."
Xia He, lost in thought, subconsciously nodded her little head.
Having talked until her mouth was dry from the study until now, Jiang Yi didn’t hesitate, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips, then frowned in surprise, "What kind of tea is this brewed from?"
Hmm?
Xia He was startled for a mont, then realized, and her eyes widened in shock.
"What’s wrong?"
Jiang Yi looked perplexedly at the girl.
Xia He dumbly said, "I... I drank from it."
Jiang Yi burst into a resigned laugh, "You girl, becoming more like a lady every day, it’s just tea you’ve drunk."
"I..."
Xia He didn’t know how to start, feeling sowhat tearfully lost.
"Being a concubine is not easy." Jiang Yi rubbed her forehead slightly, "Once Qingchen decides on sothing, she becos very stubborn. Once you’ve entered the family, just yield to her a bit, as she is also Jiang Mo’s legal wife after all."
Xia He lowered her head and humd an affirmative, not daring to look at the lady, like a little girl who had done sothing wrong.
Jiang Yi, unbothered, gently lifted the teacup to her lips and tilted, letting the tea flow smoothly into her mouth, then downed it all in one go,
anwhile, a few glistening drops of tea slowly slid from the edge of her red lips, gently pulling at the rim of the cup, reminiscent of morning dew clinging to leaves, reluctant to part, sketching a delicate and graceful scene.
"Lady..."
"Hmm? What’s wrong?"
Looking at the girl hesitating to speak, Jiang Yi asked.
Xia He asked in a low voice, "Would you marry Jiang Mo?"
Jiang Yi looked dumbfounded, then as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, she laughed convulsively,
"Do you think that’s possible? Really, do you think your lady is so desperate for a man? What capabilities does that brat have to marry ? Li Guanshi let him touch her hand, but my Jiang Yi’s hand, he should not even dream of touching in this lifeti."
