Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 770 - 0723: Regret (2)
Jiang Suyun’s expression was calm as she replied casually.
After tidying up, Jiang Suyun went to bed.
However, Chuni didn’t dare to wash up; she just sat fully clothed on the plank bed beside, keeping her company.
The curtain was drawn, and no one disturbed them.
On the bed, Jiang Suyun stared blankly at the top of the curtain.
If looked closely, she was silently shedding tears.
She was lost in thought.
Jiang Suyun rembered when she first t Yu Wen Zan, Yu Wen Zan said he was solely focused on his studies and future, which delayed the important matter of marriage.
Although his family urged him to take concubines first, he said doing so before marrying a wife was disrespectful to the legitimate wife.
Whether to take concubines should be decided by the wife, not him.
His speech was gentle, and his deanor courteous.
The day he visited the Jiang Mansion, she happened to be in her father’s study to fetch sothing.
It was the first ti she saw a man looking at her with such gentle eyes.
She was flustered, turned around to leave, and nearly stumbled at the threshold.
He quickly walked over to support her but didn’t touch her; he extended his hand slightly and asked with a warm and concerned voice whether she had injured her calf.
Her face flushed, she left without a word.
That evening, she received the ointnt for external injuries sent by Yu Wen Zan.
Two days later, the Yu Wen Family sent a matchmaker to propose.
Her mother ca to ask for her opinion.
Upon hearing Yu Wen Zan’s na, she thought of those gentle eyes, the warm and concerned voice, and the two bottles of expensive ointnt from the Imperial Hospital.
Without hesitation, she gladly agreed.
Although her mother advised her to consider carefully, because Yu Wen Zan was ten and a half years older than her.
Furthermore, the Yu Wen Family was sparse in offspring; Yu Wen Dalang’s wife had passed, leaving only a daughter who was gravely ill, and Yu Wen Zan only had two brothers.
After marrying into the family, she would inevitably work hard regarding childbirth.
The Yu Wen Family would definitely demand her to continuously bear more children or perhaps have her take nurous concubines.
For Jiang Suyun, whose temperant was gentle and not adept at words, the Yu Wen Family was not a house of good people.
But she didn’t think much, only eager to agree as soon as possible.
She persuaded her mother, saying that families with many brothers had fierce internal conflicts, and she couldn’t compete well with others; marrying into such a big family would only be asking to be bullied.
With her persuasion, her mother agreed.
But who knew...
Jiang Suyun sighed and turned over.
Despite her many thoughts, she finally couldn’t resist her fatigue and fell asleep.
Chuni remained worried about her.
While listening to the occasional sigh from inside the curtain, she didn’t dare disturb.
She knew that Jiang Suyun was reflecting, and she had to give her ti to think it through.
After an unknowable amount of ti, there were no more sighs from the bed. Chuni gently lifted the curtain to take a look and found Jiang Suyun asleep.
She breathed a sigh of relief and then went to wash up.
.
With her worries, the next day, Jiang Suyun uncharacteristically slept in until the sun was high before waking.
After getting up and washing, she did not, as usual, instruct the maid to prepare the carriage for a visit to the Yu Wen Mansion but instead called Chuni, "Prepare the carriage, I want to talk to Sister Wen."
Chuni blinked, "Sister Wen?" Before, Jiang Suyun used to call Li Yuwen Sister Wen, but now, isn’t Li Yuwen not in the Capital? So which Sister Wen is this?
Or has her lady beco muddled by anger? Driven silly?
Chuni was anxious, "Mis...Miss? Don’t scare this servant, Princess Wen is not in the Capital..."
Jiang Suyun glared at her and coldly said, "What are you scared of? I’m fine, perfectly fine. Besides, who said Sister Wen is not in the Capital? She returned; yesterday I talked to her at the Yu Wen Mansion. Quick, prepare the carriage; I need to discuss sothing with her."
Who knows, Chuni was even more frightened.
Who was Princess Wen?
She was a figure that stirred storms in the Capital, causing a commotion wherever she went.
Inciting won to fight, drawing n to watch.
But yesterday at the Yu Wen family, everything was indeed peaceful.
No one even ntioned Princess Wen.
"Miss, let’s not be angry, not be angry, okay? Let’s not go to the Yu Wen family today; let’s rest at ho. Would you like this servant to accompany you to pick rouge? Or shall we go to the garden to collect flowers to make dry flowers?" Chuni held onto Jiang Suyun’s arm tightly, refusing to let go.
Jiang Suyun looked at Chuni speechlessly, "I’m not angry now; I’m perfectly fine. Oh dear, you girl let go of ; I need to find Sister Wen."
"Princess Wen is not in the Capital, rember? Princess Wen is still in Zhen An Prefecture; she went there more than two years ago. The entire family was demoted to Zhen An Prefecture for hard labor," Chuni refused to let go, holding Jiang Suyun’s arm tightly.
Jiang Suyun patted Chuni’s hand, signaling her to let go, "I know their family is in Zhen An Prefecture, but Sister Wen and her third sister ca to the Capital, Sister Wen married Fifth Young Master Pei, and the veiled woman wearing a light lotus skirt yesterday was her. We talked for a long ti in the Yu Wen family’s little garden. Yesterday, when I suggested you follow Second Young Master Yu Wen, it was at her reminder, telling to keep an eye out for Second Young Master Yu Wen."
Chuni blinked, realizing her lady wasn’t speaking out of anger? "Miss?"
"Let go, I’m perfectly fine now." Jiang Suyun patted Chuni’s hand again.
Chuni exhaled and then released Jiang Suyun, "Miss was like that last night, it scared this servant, and this servant couldn’t rest assured."
"Last night I was indeed in a bad mood, but I won’t lose my mind." Jiang Suyun sighed lightly, "Forget it, let’s not talk about it, let’s go out of the mansion and have a walk."
.
While having breakfast, Jiang Dalang ca.
"The people from your courtyard said you slept late last night and would wake up late, so I didn’t co early to call you. Now that you’re finally up, let’s go to the Yu Wen Mansion; hurry and eat, I’ll wait for you."
Seeing Jiang Suyun’s red and swollen eyes, Jiang Dalang asked puzzledly, "What’s up with your eyes?"
Chuni was terrified, afraid Jiang Suyun might cry from grievances.
"Last night, the mosquitoes inside the curtain weren’t driven away completely, they bothered Miss, and Miss didn’t sleep well." She hurriedly explained.
Jiang Suyun glanced at her without saying anything.
"You girl, even mosquitoes you can’t drive away? Becoming increasingly lazy." Jiang Dalang said with a stern face, criticizing Chuni.
Chuni lowered her head, "It won’t happen tonight."
The master and servant’s act managed to fend off the matter.
When Jiang Dalang urged Jiang Suyun to go to the Yu Wen Mansion again, Jiang Suyun insisted that she wasn’t feeling well, preferring to rest at ho, and thus wouldn’t go.
Jiang Dalang was worried about his little sister, "The days are hot, and being busy going out early and returning late, how can your health endure? Then stay ho and rest; I’ll go alone to help. They are having a wake today, and the funeral will be held tomorrow."
Once Jiang Dalang left, Jiang Suyun hastily finished the remaining porridge and pastries, rinsed her mouth, and went out with Chuni.
Yesterday, when she was chatting with Li Yuwen, Li Yuwen had told her the new address.
