PFC Chapter 301 Wish
Chapter 301 Wish
"Forget it. No matter where Yu'er married, she is still my daughter and your sister. If that's the case, why should I be so persistent? Let's just follow the etiquette of Nanmo Country!"
Although Jiang Yanxu disagreed in his heart, since his father had already made the decision, he naturally had no room for rebuttal. However, he still felt a little regretful that he could not marry Yu'er openly.
With worries on his mind, Jiang Yanxu tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. Even Jiang Yanzhou practiced calligraphy for most of the night. When the rice paper on the desk was gone, he put down the purple paper in his hand and walked towards the inner room.
No matter how many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, these did not affect Jiang Shuyu's sweet dreams at all.
The next morning,
Jiang Shuyu slowly opened her eyes. The room was filled with a faint morning light. The soft light made people feel very warm. Jiang Shuyu could not help but greedily enjoy the tranquility of this moment.
Yu Lan came into the room and saw that Jiang Shuyu had not woken up. She could not bear to disturb her and walked out again.
After a long time, Jiang Shuyu gently lifted the bed curtain, stood up and walked out. Yu Lan heard the sound and went into the room to wait on her. Seeing that Jiang Shuyu was already sitting in front of the dressing table, Yu Lan hurried to the wardrobe and took out a set of clothes from it to help Jiang Shuyu dress up.
"Is the girl awake?"
Yu Lan had just finished dressing Jiang Shuyu when she heard Madam Yang's voice coming over.
"She's awake. The girl is dressing up inside. Ma'am, just wait a moment. She'll be out soon!"
"No hurry, young lady, you've worked hard all the way, so you need to rest well. The palace has sent someone to discuss your marriage, and the master is entertaining them here. However, there are some things that the master doesn't approve of, so he asked this old servant to come and ask for your opinion. I wonder if you are free to go now?"
"If you have time, please go there in person."
"Jinshu, go get the letter for father. When father sees this, he'll know what to do!"
Thinking about coming back, Nangong Mo already had a plan. Now, there was nothing else that could bother Jiang Zhongming.
When Jiang Shuyu came to the living room, Jiang Zhongming had just sent away the people from the palace. Thinking of Nangong Mo's understanding, Jiang Zhongming was so happy that his mouth was wide open. Seeing Jiang Shuyu coming over, Jiang Zhongming looked at her and said:
"The date has been set. Considering the emperor's poor health, the wedding will be held in a month. Don't worry, Yu'er. Although the wedding is a bit rushed, with your father here, no one will look down on you. Moreover, long before the New Year, the emperor had already ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Prince Jing's wedding. Now the preparations are almost complete. From now on, Yu'er just needs to prepare for marriage. Your father and your brother will take care of the rest. They will definitely marry you off in a grand manner."
Jiang Zhongming's face was full of smiles, but he didn't say yes. He had thought that Jiang Shuyu's wedding would be arranged as that of the Princess of Nanmo Kingdom. He had already made preparations to go to the post station to send her off. Unexpectedly, Nanmo Kingdom had already made plans and agreed to let Jiang Shuyu leave the Jiang family. How could he not be happy!
Seeing Jiang Zhongming's overjoyed look, Jiang Shuyu naturally felt the same way. She grew up in the Jiang family, and the Jiang family treated her as their own daughter. When her mother was still alive, she had always cared about the Jiang family. Her father also knew this. Now that he let her marry out of the Jiang family, wasn't it also fulfilling her mother's wish?
She also hoped to receive her parents' blessing in this life and to be with the one she loved. Concealing the strangeness in her eyes, Jiang Shuyu bowed solemnly:
"But it's up to my father!"
Seeing that her daughter, whom she had raised since childhood, was about to get married, Ruan felt very reluctant to let her go. However, she also knew that this was the best choice at the moment, so she naturally did not say much. She stepped forward and took Jiang Shuyu to give her some instructions before taking her to see Old Madam Jiang.
Since Jiang Shuyu left, Madam Jiang's health condition has been getting worse and worse, not to mention Yuan Peishan's arbitrary rule in the Duke's Mansion, which has made the Duke's Mansion a mess. Fortunately, Yuan Peishan knows that Madam Jiang is in poor health. She also knows that if Madam Jiang has any problems, it will affect Jiang Hongtai. Therefore, Yuan Peishan never dares to go too far in treating Madam Jiang. However, Madam Jiang is old and her body can't stand the tossing.
When Jiang Shuyu arrived at Guiyan Hall, she smelled the pungent smell of medicine in the yard. Looking at the desolate appearance of the yard, Jiang Shuyu frowned. Hearing bursts of coughing coming from the room, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly walked a few steps to the room.
Nanny Wei looked at Jiang Shuyu coming in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Old Madam Jiang and said, "Old Madam, look, the third lady is back."
Mrs. Jiang picked up a candied fruit and put it in her hand. Then she followed Wei Ma's line of sight and looked towards Jiang Shuyu. When she saw the familiar person walking towards her, Mrs. Jiang was stunned and the candied fruit in her hand slipped instantly.
"Lan'er, my Lan'er..."
Seeing Madam Jiang struggling to get up, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly walked a few steps to Madam Jiang. Before Jiang Shuyu could speak, Madam Jiang grabbed her arm and said in a choked voice, "Lan'er, is that you?"
Seeing the cloudy look in Old Madam Jiang's eyes, Jiang Shuyu suppressed the pain in her eyes, looked at Old Madam Jiang and said softly, "Grandma, I'm Yu'er! Don't you remember me coming? I'm Yu'er!"
Seeing Madam Jiang like this, Nanny Wei couldn't help but sigh softly. The old lady was becoming more and more confused. Seeing Madam Jiang tightly holding Jiang Shuyu and calling out for Jiang Lan, Nanny Wei hurried forward to comfort her, "Madam, this is the Third Miss! Can we be gentler? Look, the Third Miss's hands are all red!"
"No, you're lying. This is obviously my Lan'er. Lan'er, mother misses you so much!"
Seeing that Nanny Wei wanted to say something, Jiang Shuyu hurriedly shook her head slightly at her. Her grandmother's condition was probably worse than she thought!
Knowing that Old Madam Jiang was very dependent on her now, Jiang Shuyu simply sat down in front of Old Madam Jiang's bed and helped her soothe her softly. After all, Old Madam Jiang was old and her energy was not as good as before. After a while, she fell asleep holding Jiang Shuyu's arm.
Seeing this, Nanny Wei hurried forward to help Madam Jiang rest. Seeing Madam Jiang sleeping soundly, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little sorry. Her mother had always been a pain in her grandmother's heart. Perhaps this was a relief for the old lady.
