Chapter 178: Why must it be seen so clearly?

Guess what your maternal grandfather said?

He said, "Who dares to take my Kang Mengxian's daughter?"

The maternal grandmother smiled and shook her head; that stubborn old man worries most about Yun chu, yet he simply refuses to admit it.

"Your mother grew up on your maternal grandfather's knee; when he read, she read along; when he wrote, she watched from the side."

Zhuang Miao and Jiang Fengsheng exchanged a glance, both somewhat worried.

"Maternal grandmother, would you like to sleep a while?"

She could see that the maternal grandmother was tired, but she was afraid that if she left, the grandmother would worry.

"And what about Yun chu?"

The Old Lady's hand never let go.

"Maternal grandmother, Yun chu is at the Wang Fu; if you miss me, just send someone to call me, I'll definitely come, okay?"

Everyone says that old children, little children, all need to be coaxed.

"Really come?" the maternal grandmother confirmed.

Jiang Yunchu nodded firmly, "I'll definitely come; my eldest and second aunt are listening!"

"'Mother, we're all listening,' Zhuang Miao quickly said, hurrying to support the Old Lady's other hand."

The Old Lady glanced at Jiang Yunchu, then sighed, "Rest."

"'I want to be well, so I can go see my granddaughter, see my Yun chu.' The Old Lady said, then stood up."

The three of them escorted the Old Lady all the way to her room, watching her lie down, then Jiang Yunchu finally left the courtyard.

She took a deep breath, looking at the worried eldest and second aunt.

"'The maternal grandmother is fine; her condition will improve tomorrow.' When she just took her pulse, the maternal grandmother's bodily situation had already changed; afterward we'll see how the recuperation goes."

"'Really?' Both aunts were delighted and asked eagerly."

Jiang Yunchu nodded; she couldn't explain the exact principle of this pill, but her own system space was inherently mysterious and profound.

This space was only opened after her rebirth; perhaps it was a reward for herself?

Who knows! It doesn't matter either way!

But being able to make the maternal grandmother improve is her hope.

"'Well then, the Old Lady has been drowsy and sleeping for some days; I originally wanted to tell you…' Zhuang Miao smiled helplessly."

Why they clearly care about Yun chu but do not act, the specific reason, she also does not know.

But the Kang Clan treats Yun chu like the apple of their eye; she has eyes, and this is what she can see!

"Does the maternal grandfather not allow it?"

She gave a light laugh and directly spoke the answer.

Others probably couldn't persuade the maternal grandmother either; only the maternal grandfather could.

I suppose that old man fears bringing some emotion upon himself.

"'I'll go to the Jiang Fu first.' Jiang Yunchu turned and bade farewell to the two aunts."

After she left, Zhuang Miao said to Jiang Fengsheng, "I don't claim to be great at reading people, but I can also glimpse a bit of their hearts."

"'But I have never been able to see through Yun chu.'"

Jiang Fengsheng laughed and said, "Elder sister-in-law, as long as people understand each other's sincerity, that's enough."

"Why must it be seen so clearly?"

Their two personalities are completely different; Jiang Fengsheng is open and unrestrained, as if he cares about nothing.

Zhuang Miao has been involved in business since childhood, immersed in it; she is skilled at scheming, which is her nature.

Zhuang Miao fiddled with her skirt hem, then smiled and shook her head, "I'm being superficial."

Her merchant instincts surfaced.

Jiang Yunchu's visit to the Kang Fu changed her impression of many people; previously it was the original host's memories playing tricks, plus some vague fragments that weren't very real.

Instead, it made her one-sided.

"'According to the time, you'll arrive soon.'"

When Jiang Yunchu arrived, Kang Mei happened to walk out of the courtyard, wearing a sauce-purple dress, with only two maidservants following her, bringing no one else.

"'Aunt.' Jiang Yunchu greeted with a beaming smile; previously she had been aggressive, but she hadn't expected time to change people."

"'You're home; don't speak at the gate.'"

Kang Mei didn't perform a salute this time, simply stepped aside, and then the mother-daughter pair walked into Kang Mei's courtyard.

"'Your courtyard has always been kept; do you want to go rest a bit?'"

The Kang Fu had already sent word that Yun chu hadn't taken lunch there; they had stayed, but Yun chu, fearing the maternal grandmother would worry about not resting, left early.

The Kang Fu had prepared lunch, but it wasn't known whether the child would rest first or eat first.

"'No resting.'"

Jiang Yunchu looked at Kang Mei, seeming a bit nervous, and involuntarily laughed.

"'Aunt, you don't need to be like this.'"

Kang Mei sat back on the stool, looking at Jiang Yunchu's eyes, knowing she spoke from the heart, and thus gradually relaxed.

Since she married into the Jiang Fu, they have never had a proper conversation.

Before, it was she who couldn't speak properly; later, it was she who was unwilling to speak properly.

Their relationship was not like mother and daughter, but more like enemies.

For a moment, the two fell silent.

"'I came today…'"

"'I have prepared lunch…'"

The two spoke in unison, and when they realized what it was, they laughed together.

That earlier state of sword‑drawn‑and‑bow‑bent tension had completely vanished.

「Auntie, let's get down to business—I came over today because the Wang Fu workshop has just come out with a new Lustrous Jade Soap. 」Jiang Yunchu raised her hand, letting Bai Zhi take it over.

The soap for the Jiang Mansion totaled five pieces, and these Lustrous Jade Soaps each have different flowering periods.

「It looks really nice—how do you use it? 」

Kang Mei gazed at the beautiful soap; without even saying what it was used for, its appearance alone was eye‑catching.

「For washing hands. 」

Jiang Yunchu finished answering, then gave Kang Mei a detailed explanation.

Without Jiang Yunchu needing to say more, Kang Mei smiled and said, 「It's a good thing—I'll send out invitations this afternoon, and tomorrow I'll visit some friendly households to catch up, since it's been a while since we've been in touch. 」

She smiled, directly expressing her attitude.

Jiang Yunchu looked at Kang Mei; this auntie, who used to speak the harshest words, had never lessened the concern in her eyes.

「Thank you, auntie. 」 she said softly.

Neither her maternal grandfather nor her two uncles had told her the reason.

They never spoke of her mother either; she only knew that her mother had died in difficult childbirth when giving birth to her.

But various indications show that the matter is not that simple.

Kang Mei gave her a slightly resentful look and said, 「Why be so formal with me? 」

「We are not mother and daughter, yet we are; you are my sister's daughter, and in my heart you are no different from my own child. 」

「Yun chu, I'm glad you can help Yun Hui. 」

From this matter she also learned that Yun chu's attitude had changed; previously her gaze toward her was full of hatred, but at some point it had become calm, like that of a third party stepping outside the affair.

But now……

She seemed to be Yun chu, yet also not Yun chu—a strange feeling that defies description.
