C26 (1/2)

Looking at Jiang Shu's flying figure, Jiang Wan could only smile bitterly in her heart.

She raised her head to look at the bright blue light that was stuck between the canopy of the umbrella and the eaves of the Jun Yating Hall. She didn't know when she would have the opportunity to walk out of this shackle.

The current Jiang Wan was completely unable to sense where she was going: The Qin family wholeheartedly wanted to send her into the Crown Prince's Palace, constantly weakening her sense of existence in front of her relatives and friends. Without the Qin family's support, she would not have been able to leave the Jiang manor, let alone come into contact with the people outside.

Thinking of that, Jiang Wan started to have a headache.

Perhaps he could consider packing up some gold and silver before sneaking out?

However, she immediately rejected this ridiculous idea. In this era, a girl without a family to depend on was like a blade of grass. If someone accidentally kidnapped her and sold her to a place like a alley of fireworks, then her life would truly be over.

Jiang Wan naturally fell behind Jiang Shu as she thought about all this along the way. When she lifted the plywood curtain and entered Jun Yutang, she saw that Jiang Shu was currently in the Qin family's arms, hugging her neck as she whispered into her ear.

It was unknown what Jiang Shu had said to the Qin family. The Qin family laughed heartily, and anyone who saw it would know that they were in a very good mood.

Jiang Wan obediently walked up to the Qin family and paid her respects. Then, very obediently, she said, ”My regards to mother.”

The Qin family happily nodded their heads, and a vigilant young maid brought over a gold plate. Jiang Wan carefully sat down.

”I called you here today because I have something to tell you.” The Qin family fiddled with Jiang Shu who was laying on top of them like a monkey, let her sit beside them, and then rubbed her hands, ”The fifteenth anniversary of this month is the birthday of Old Lady Li from Cat's Ear Lane. Two days ago, your second aunt had instructed me to bring the two of you with me to have some fun. ”

Jiang Zhuzhe could not contain his joy at hearing this and becoming a guest at Cat's Ear Lane again.

Jiang Wan noticed that née Qin said ”bring you two along”, which meant that this time she planned to bring her along.

There's only one thing I need to let you know first, ”née Qin calmly glanced at Jiang Wan, then looked at Jiang Shu, before continuing,” Your second uncle is currently an elder of the imperial court, a Grand Scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion. That day, there will definitely be people coming to join in on your second uncle's name, and many of them will definitely be the madams of noble families.

”I know!” Jiang Zhuzhe coquettishly coiled around née Qin's arm, while Jiang Wan obediently nodded her head.

Seeing that, the Qin family nodded their heads in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Wan. Their eyes shifted, ”Old Lady Li from Cat's Ear Lane loves Buddha. Why don't you help her copy a scroll of scripture? It can be counted as your filial piety.”

Copy a book of scriptures?

Jiang Wan felt her face twitch.

Just a moment ago, she was surprised that née Qin would suddenly have the kindness to bring her to her second uncle's house. Now, this meeting had given her a problem.

It was less than ten days to the old mistress' birthday.
