C35 (1/2)

After the Lantern Festival, this year was considered over.

Everything was back on track. Master Jiang San was once again in a rush for the matter of Hou Que, and Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu had also returned to their daily state of morning consciousness.

In the east wing of the Jun Yutang building, née Qin sat on the fire kang near the window. Jiang Shu knelt behind her, while Jiang Wan sat on the small stool in front of the fire kang.

A row of matriarchs were standing there obediently with their heads lowered, waiting for née Qin's instructions.

Jiang Wan was a little bored as she gripped the handkerchief in her hand, quietly sizing up née Qin's expression on the brick bed, wondering why she suddenly wanted to teach her housekeeper out of the kindness of her heart.

In a short moment, Jiang Wan understood that the Qin family still wanted to teach Jiang Shu, but when she saw Jiang Shu's dazed expression, she knew that the Qin family's plans would come to naught.

Jiang Zhuzhe truly had no interest in housekeepers. At this moment, all she could think about was that handsome youth she had seen yesterday. He had red lips, white teeth, and was even prettier than a woman. How could anyone be so good-looking? In comparison, the Crown Prince that she had been yearning for was like an old uncle, causing her to lose interest in him.

According to Huang Yi, this year was the year when the Left Censor-in-Chief entertained March 3rd. Their family had already arranged for the Yan Family class to go to the concert hall a long time ago, so that they could see Yan Qing again.

But on second thought, was there a relationship between the Left Imperial Censor's house and hers? What if their family didn't send out invitations that day?

When she thought of this, Jiang Shu's eyes darted over to the Qin family. She wanted to ask a few questions, but she didn't know how.

”This year is over. The hearts that need to be retracted will be retracted as well.” At this moment, the Qin family was reprimanding their family's wives. Seeing that Jiang Shu always had an appearance of wanting to speak but was hesitating, Du mother kindly reminded the Qin family, wondering if Fifth Miss had something to say.

The Qin family looked at their little daughter in surprise, waiting for her opinion.

All of a sudden, the gazes of everyone in the room were focused on Jiang Shu. Jiang Shu, who had never experienced anything like this, jumped in fright and stuttered, ”I …” ”I forgot …”

Someone in the room started to laugh.

With a cold gaze from the Qin family, the crowd was so frightened that they were silenced.

As for Jiang Wan, who was sitting upright on the little Dan Zi, she heavily pinched the back of her hand. She held back the urge to laugh, and only then did she try her best to maintain her expressionless face.

The Qin knew that today's lecture was no longer appropriate, so they dispersed all the servants in the room, leaving behind only Mother Du. Then, they looked at Jiang Zhuzthey and asked, ”What were you trying to say just now?”

Jiang Shu then explained the words in her heart, but the Qin family frowned.

Although she had met the Left Imperial Censor's Lady Li yesterday, the two of them had only nodded together. They hadn't spoken for a whole day, so they couldn't be considered as close friends.

Moreover, the Left Censor-in-Chief was a second grade official and his family was still a fifth grade official. No matter how much he invited, he would never invite his family.

”What does the Left Imperial Censor's house say?” The Qin family looked at their youngest daughter in confusion. Logically speaking, she usually didn't care about these things.

Naturally, Jiang Shu did not dare say that she wanted to see a playwright. Therefore, she could only tug at the corner of her clothes and stammer, ”The Big Sister Huang I met yesterday was very popular, so I thought that I might not have a chance to see her again.”
