Translator: 549690339
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan both fell into silence.
The leg fracture of a child is fairly easy to heal, simply finding a doctor who specializes in trauma and getting it reconnected could do the trick.
Yet, because of the lack of money, it put her life on hold.
No wonder she got lost in thought while looking at the embroidered shoes.
The pair of shoes cost ten taels of silver. If she had had ten taels of silver back then, she wouldn’t have ended up being la.
Jiang Yan’s eyes were turning red.
Jiang Yuan glanced at her, and said in a cold voice, “If you are so ready to cry, do you have an endless supply of tears? What is there to cry about? Hasn’t she returned? As the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, even with an impaired leg, there are plenty of people to serve her. You’re worried about ten tael shoes? She can also afford shoes that cost one hundred taels or even one thousand taels!”
Jiang Ning mockingly comnted, “Seeing how vehently you fought with Princess Ling’an the last ti, ready to beat her to death. Today, why did you run as soon as she fell?”
“What could I do if it erupted into a fight, I could end up hitting you and the baby inside your belly?” Jiang Yuan said, rolling her eyes.
“Haven’t you always been disdainful of being pregnant?”
“It’s you that I have a problem with, not the baby. Do I look like I’m bored enough to pick a fight with an unborn child?”
“Fifth sister, don’t be like this.” Jiang Yan smiled at Jiang Ning, “She’s always been like this, sharp-tongued yet not that bad at heart.”
“Am I in need of your defense? And what do you an by ‘not that bad’? Are you suggesting I am bad?”
“That’s not what I ant, you wronged …”
“How dare you talk back to !”
Jiang Yuan turned around and squabbled with Jiang Yan.
Jiang Ning just looked on with a faint smile.
The two girls had different characters. Jiang Yuan was proud, irascible, liked to flaunt, but was also very loyal.
Jiang Yan was quiet, timid, but very gentle and ticulous.
Overall, they weren’t bad at all.
On returning ho, she first went to the Purple Forest Garden to see Lin Zizi.
Lin Zizi was now, in spirit, much better, but her health was still not great. She seldom went out, spending most of her ti in the small ditation room, quietly reading and copying scriptures.
However, today was a bit different.
Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi were also here, accompanying Lin Zizi while drinking tea and chatting.
Seeing Jiang Ning return, a spark of joy flashed in Lin Zizi’s eyes, “My dear girl, co here.”
Jiang Ning went over with a smile.
Lin Zizi pulled her close, rubbed her back and wiped off her sweat with a towel, “Where have you been playing? You’re covered in sweat. Why did no one around you think of helping you change clothes?”
Jiang Ning glanced at Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi subtly shook his head.
This indicated that Lin Zizi was feeling a bit confused again and was treating Jiang Ning as if she were a three-year-old child.
When Jiang Ning disappeared at the age of three, Lin Zizi was greatly traumatized, her ntal state beca unclear and often her mory stayed at that ti.
Jiang Ning smiled, “Mother, I’m a bit hungry.”
“What do you feel like eating?”
“I want to eat the purple rice cake that mother makes.”
“Good, good, I’ll go and make it right away.” Lin Zizi stroked her forehead and repeatedly warned the maid to look after her closely, then rose to leave.
Jiang Yi sighed, “Over the years after Seventh Sister’s disappearance, mother has been in so much pain and unable to move on.”
“Now that Little Seven is back, everything will get better.” Jiang Ruobai put down his teacup and smiled, “Little Seven, I have so good news for you. Just now, an Imperial Edict arrived from the palace.”
“An Imperial Edict?”
“The Emperor first rebuked the Prince of Yu, ordering him to apologize to you in person and take you back to the Prince of Yu’s mansion,” Jiang Ruobai said with a smile, “For his daughter-in-law, rebuking his son is an unprecedented act. The second, third, and fourth princes are all married and have caused a lot of trouble, but the Emperor rarely intervenes..”
