WLAEF 77




Chapter 77


Jiang Yun Xiu suddenly appeared here for a reason.

Last year, she bid her time for half a month and finally brought Mrs. Zhou to catch Gao Shun and Tian Ying in bed.

When Mrs. Zhou discovered this kind of matter, she was merciless. She directly pulled Tian Ying's hair and dragged her to the courtyard. There were kitchen staff waiting in the courtyard and Tian Ying was completely naked at this time...

Tian Ying curled up there, trying to cover sensitive parts. Mrs. Zhou scolded her very harshly, saying something like ‘Dare to steal people and now dare to show it to everyone’, etc. Jiang Yun Xiu's scalp was tight from the berate.

The next day, Tian Ying hanged herself in the room. That room was the residence of Jiang Yun Xiu, Tian Ying and Xiao Dong.

Jiang Yun Xiu remembered the sight when she opened her eyes and saw the corpse. Countless times in the middle of the night, she dreamed that Tian Ying was chasing her to kill her. As she ran, she shouted, "It wasn't me, it's Mrs. Zhou."

When Tian Ying died, it was swept away with grass and carried out of the Manor. It caused no waves. The Marquis Anping Manor was still prosperous.

Gao Shun had a big fight with Mrs. Zhou, but that was all.

Soon, Gao Shun set his eyes on Jiang Yun Xiu.

Of course Jiang Yun Xiu looked down on him. How to keep enduring like this, when would she be able to make it through?

It so happened that Mrs. Zhou found out about this incident, but she didn't make a fuss this time. She thought that instead of letting Gao Shun go out to mess around, it was better to get a sweet date and hook him at home. Jiang Yun Xiu was this sweet date. Let Gao Shun see it, but not eat it.

Currently in the Marquis Anping Manor, Jiang Yun Xiu’s situation was like this. She was regarded as a second-class maid in the Manor. Mrs. Zhou would give her a little sweetness from time to time to make her listen to her. When Gao Shun was happy, he was willing to spend money on her. That's why she had these beaded hairpins on her head and these beautiful clothes on her body.

She knew that the two couples held bad-intentioned, but her goal was Lin Ting An. As long as she became the young madam of the Marquis Manor, everything would naturally be solved.

She had met Lin Ting An a few times, but Lin Ting An didn't seem to fancy her. He didn't even remember her name. She didn't understand what's going on.

Coming to a dead end, she suddenly thought of Jiang Yun Zhu. How did she become the young madam of the Marquis Manor?

So during the New Year this year, she sent people to Changfeng Manor to look for Jiang Cheng and the others. First, to test Jiang Yun Zhu's water. Second, she was decked in brocade and fine food. She thought how Jiang Yun Zhu must be covered in dust and mud like the way she had before. Give her a little something, she would be able to enjoy her envious gazes.

Imagining that scene, she wished she could see Jiang Yun Zhu immediately.

At the time of parting, she said that if Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't make it through, she could come and beg her. Now was the right time.

It was just that when the searcher arrived at Changfeng Manor, he couldn't find anyone. He asked the people in the village and found out that Jiang Cheng and the others might have fled the famine.

When Jiang Yun Xiu got the news, she felt it was wrong. Shouldn't they wait until April this year before fleeing famine?

Then she sent someone to go to Qinghe Village. In her dream, she, Jiang Cheng and others fled here.

The result was that there was no one in Qinghe Village. So she lost all clues to find the Jiang Family. Until a while ago, a large number of disaster refugees flooded into Lu Prefecture and Qin Yao had set up congee stations and tree planting. This incident seemed to spread everywhere.

Some people in the Marquis Anping Manor were talking about Wuling County. Wuling County... When Jiang Yun Xiu heard about this place, something suddenly came to mind. Xu Qing Shan seemed to have said that he seemed to have stayed somewhere in Wuling County. She couldn't remember the exact address and had never cared about his words. All she remembered was that he said it was next to an iron mine.

She suddenly thought, did Jiang Yun Zhu escape to this place?

As soon as this idea came into being, it grew wildly. The more she thought about it, the more she was sure.

At this time, there was news from the Marquis Manor that Lin Ting An seemed to attach great importance to this matter and seemed to be going to Wuling County to find out the situation in person.

Jiang Yun Xiu was overjoyed when she heard that. Once outside, there were not as many rules in the Manor. Maybe she could get close to Lin Ting An.

So she found a reason to ask for leave from the housekeeper, put on new clothes and her best jewelry, and came to Wuling County.

When she got here, she discovered that there was indeed an iron mine in Wuling County. It was the Wuling Mine. The village next to the Wuling Mine was Changshi Village.

When she came to Changshi Village, she happened to see Jiang Cheng and the others.

They were different from the poverty she had imagined. Jiang Yun Xiu suddenly took Mrs. Chen's hand and said, "Mom, I didn't mean it."

Mrs. Chen woke up from a dream, "It's okay. It's fine. But didn't you love to eat all kinds of pastries before?"

It was a pity that at that time, the family only had one or two pieces during the holidays.

"Mother, I'm working in the Marquis Anping Manor." Jiang Yun Xiu said, stretching out her wrists, revealing two shining gold bracelets.

Mrs. Chen was very surprised. Marquis Anping Manor, why did it sound familiar? Oh right, the one who competed with Jiang Yun Zhu last time seemed to be from Marquis Anping Manor.

She immediately asked Jiang Yun Xiu what was going on. Why did she suddenly appear here today?

Jiang Yun Xiu only said that she was sold to the Marquis Anping and she had been looking for them. She finally found it.

"Mother had aggrieved you!" Speaking of selling Jiang Yun Xiu, Mrs. Chen felt guilty.

Jiang Yun Xiu, however, was somewhat proud of herself. She raised her arm deliberately so that Jiang Yun Zhu could see the gold bracelet on her wrist clearly, and then observed her reaction.

Jiang Yun Zhu saw the two gold bracelets, but didn't care at all. She didn't even look at them.

Annoyed, Jiang Yun Xiu suddenly grabbed the gold bracelet in her left hand and said to Jiang Yun Zhu, "Elder Sister, the style of this bracelet is the most popular style in Lu Prefecture now. It costs more than thirty liang silver!"

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't respond.

Jiang Yun Xiu gritted her teeth, "Elder Sister, look at you. You don't have any valuable jewelry on you. How about I give you one?"

Beg her! Beg her! Maybe she would give it to her.

Jiang Yun Zhu almost laughed, and she said, "I don't like wearing those. If you have the heart, why not give the bracelet to Mother. From what I see it’s more suitable for Mother to wear."

Behind her, when He Ying heard this, she burst out laughing. Her miss’s mouth!

Jiang Yun Xiu's face turned green. This bracelet suitable for Mrs. Chen? Then she won't be the same kind of person as Mrs. Chen. Also, how could she bear to give this bracelet to Mrs. Chen. During those seven years in her dream, she had done so much for her family, but Mrs. Chen never forgot about Jiang Yun Zhu. She was filled with hate when she thought about it.

In the end, it was Mrs. Chen expressed that she didn't want it and this matter was over.

Mrs. Chen wanted to tell Jiang Yun Xiu about the situation at home, but Jiang Yun Xiu didn't have the patience to listen. She drove everyone out with the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest.

Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to leave, but Jiang Yun Xiu uttered, "Elder Sister, I want to have a private chat with you."

Jiang Yun Zhu stopped and turned to look at her. What did she want to say?

The two sisters were the only ones left in the room. Jiang Yun Xiu sweetly called Jiang Yun Zhu, like the way two sisters used to be in Changfeng Manor. At that time, Jiang Yun Zhu, as the elder sister, would agree to all Jiang Yun Xiu's requests.

But Jiang Yun Zhu's soul in the body had changed. She could tell Jiang Yun Xiu was a hypocrite. So she stood there indifferently.

Jiang Yun Xiu was a little confused about Jiang Yun Zhu's temper. Why did she feel like she was a different person this time when compared with before.

Did she have that dream?

Impossible, if she had that dream, she would definitely choose that short branch.

Jiang Yun Xiu suppressed this thought in her heart, and asked shyly, "Elder Sister, how can you make a man like you?"

Man? Lin Ting An? Jiang Yun Zhu seemed to understand why she came here suddenly.

"My suggestion, the farther away from him the better." Jiang Yun Zhu stated seriously.

What kind of suggestion was this? She didn't need to say it if she didn't want to. Jiang Yun stood up gracefully and walked outside. She couldn't stay in this house for a moment.

"Yun Xiu, where are you going? Yun Xiu." Mrs. Chen wanted to stop Jiang Yun Xiu, but Jiang Yun Xiu walked away without looking back.

Mrs. Chen stood there, devastated.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng came over and held her hand tightly.

Jiang Yun Xiu came out of Jiang's house and wanted to go to the county city. However, she found out that there was no horse-drawn carriage in this poor village.

She hated it more and more.

At this time, Xu Qing Shan came out of the village driving a donkey cart. At this moment, he was about to go out to give rides. After marrying a wife, he worked harder to make money, hoping to make her life better.

Seeing him, Jiang Yun Xiu seemed to have regained her confidence.

"Elder Brother Xu." She said sweetly.

"It's younger sister from the Jiang Family." Xu Qing Shan responded.

Then Jiang Yun Xiu mentioned about going to the city.

Although Xu Qing Shan wondered why Jiang Cheng didn't see her off, he said, "Get in, I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Elder Brother Xu." Jiang Yun Xiu said.

She got into the donkey cart, but she didn't sit in the back. Instead, she sat next to Xu Qing Shan, purposely getting very close to him.

Xu Qing Shan moved to the side uncomfortably.

But Jiang Yun Xiu asked, "Elder Brother Xu, do you think your wife is prettier, or me?"

Xu Qing Shan frowned slightly, but said, "You look prettier."

Sure enough. Jiang Yun Xiu felt proud, but also felt it wasn’t enough. She said, "Then why did you marry her?"

Xu Qing Shan's face immediately changed. He reined in the donkey, feeling so angry for the first time. So angry that he wanted to scold a woman. It was his blessing that his wife could marry him. How could she say that?

"Get off." He shouted.

Jiang Yun Xiu's face changed color. Xu Qing Shan never dared to talk to her like this before.

"I told you to get off." Xu Qing Shan repeated again, picking up the whip in his hand.

What. He dared to hit her? Jiang Yun Xiu was extremely vexed.

Xu Qing Shan didn't beat her, but pushed her off the carriage with a whip and then drove away.

Jiang Yun Xiu stood there, furious. She felt that everything was Jiang Yun Zhu's fault. If not, she wouldn't lose face.

At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu had packed up her things, wanting to go back to Qishanju.

"Let's leave after lunch." Jiang Cheng pleaded. She finally came back so long.

Jiang Yun Zhu looked at the sky. It was indeed time for lunch. So she nodded and stayed.

After lunch, she was about to rest for a while before returning to the county city, when suddenly there was the sound of a horse honking outside.

Jiang Yun Zhu looked out through the window and found that Shen Feng Ming was stopping on his horse outside the door. He seemed to be running so fast that the horse barely stopped with its front legs raised high.

Both of them saw each other.
