C34 (2/2)

”I... I am... ”I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable …” Madam Cao raised her hand, borrowing the strength of the servant girl's arm to stand up. However, she seemed very weak, and beads of sweat could be seen on her pale forehead.

”Should we go into the room to rest first?” Madam Qiao supported her and asked with concern.

”No …” ”No need.” Madam Cao clasped her hands and looked apologetically at Madam Qiao. ”I had originally wanted to stay at the mansion for the whole afternoon, but it seems that I have to leave early.”

Madam Qiao knew that she could not force him to stay in this situation, so she offered to send him off.

”Your house is full of customers, how can I leave one of them behind to give me one?” Madame Cao tactfully refused.

Hearing this, née Qin, who was sitting beside her, immediately stood up and said to Madam Qiao, ”Second sister, why don't I send Madam Cao off?”

Madam Qiao thought about it for a moment. The Qin family could be considered as a family member, so she nodded and instructed her to send Madam Cao out.

Née Qin, who had been unable to find an opportunity to befriend Madam Cao, happily agreed. She followed along with Madam Cao's maidservants and helped her out of the room.

Jiang Wan looked at Madam Cao's staggering figure before turning to Yan Qing on the stage. Could it be that the Cao family already knew of Cao Jin's relationship with Yan Qing? That's why he was in such a hurry to introduce his son to a family?

After everyone finished watching the show, they had dinner at Cat's Ear Lane and then went their separate ways.

On the way back to the manor, Jiang Shu, who had been isolated by Jiang Yan for an entire day, began to feel sorry for Jiang Wan.

”...” ”Don't think that just by following Jiang Yan, you would be able to blend in with the young mistress and turn the phoenix into a chicken, but the chicken won't be able to become a phoenix …” Jiang Shu's tone was neither dark nor overbearing as she looked at Jiang Wan with a disdainful expression, anticipating her reaction.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan just sat there as if she didn't hear him, like a clay Buddha. If she were to throw it, it would be like hitting a ball of cotton, neither painful nor itchy.

This made Jiang Shu very angry: This Jiang Wan's ability to feign death was getting better and better.

”Sister Wan'er! I'm talking to you! ” If the space in the carriage wasn't too cramped, Jiang Shu would have jumped in anger.

”What?” However, Jiang Wan looked at her with a look of understanding, ”What were you saying to me just now?”

”Mother …” Big Sister Wan'er, she bullied me … ” However, Jiang Shu suddenly threw her head into the Qin family's embrace and tried her best to squeeze out two tears.

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes in her heart. Couldn't this Jiang Shu have some tricks up her sleeve?

However, today, the Qin family's mood was especially good. Hearing Jiang Shu cry, she only smiled, then patted Jiang Shu's hand and said, ”You're already at the age where you want to get married, but you're still so willful. What can you do in the future?”

Upon hearing that, Jiang Shu shyly rubbed his hands against née Qin's chest. ”Who said I'm going to marry someone? I will serve by my mother's side for the rest of my life. ”

His eyes rolled back and forth shyly as he spoke.

When Jiang Wan heard this, she was shocked. Could it be that during the short journey she had taken to send off Madam Qiao's guests, née Qin had successfully hooked up with Madam Cao, and the two of them reached an agreement?
