Chapter 9: Jiang Yunchu, you're the strangest
Never mind. Jiang Yunchu said lightly, not making things difficult, after all she wasn't the original owner; although she had some memory fragments, but…
She wasn't the original owner; from an observer's perspective she discovered many interesting things, plus some details the original owner never noticed.
Although, she didn't care at all!
Everyone who had just finished their salute quickly made way; Jiang Yunchu entered the General's Manor, cutting off the crowd outside watching the spectacle.
After everyone left, Ning Hanmo hopped down from the carriage, angrily saying, "Heartless woman, I shouldn't have come; you'd better let others bully you to death!!!"
Although he was angry and kept talking, he still obediently followed her into the Jiang Manor.
"This is Madam Jiang." Jiang Yunchu called Ning Hanmo over and then introduced him.
"Madam Jiang." Ning Hanmo wore an unwilling face, yet still obediently listened, making Jiang Yunchu's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
"That one is Miss Jiang." Jiang Yunchu then pointed to Jiang Yun Hui.
Ning Hanmo looked back at Jiang Yunchu, his eyes flashing like fireworks, "Jiang Yunchu, don't go too far."
He didn't say it out loud, but the meaning of his gaze, Jiang Yunchu indicated, she understood!
She, however, raised her eyebrows, "Go ahead and call?"
One could not deny that, for a moment, the brainwaves of this bickering pair might have linked; Ning Hanmo understood, then put on a sour face and looked toward Jiang Yun Hui, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yun Hui hurriedly returned a slight bow.
"Since everyone's here, shall we eat?" Jiang Yunchu glanced at Madam Xiao, who from the moment she entered until now hadn't uttered a word.
"Serve the meal." Upon hearing that, Madam Xiao directly ordered the maid behind her.
"Princess Consort, are you still accustomed to the Prince's Manor?" Madam Xiao clasped her hands, eventually asking with a beaming smile.
But before Jiang Yunchu could speak, the little overlord on the side became unhappy.
"Jiang Yunchu married into the Prince's Manor; she is the Princess Consort, the master of the manor—if something doesn't suit her, just change it."
"Does our Regent Prince's Manor still need her to adapt?"
"And then the Jiang Manor wouldn't have to worry."
As soon as Ning Hanmo's words fell, the expressions of Madam Xiao and Jiang Yun Hui didn't change at all.
Madam Xiao said a few times, "Good, good, good."
As for what was good and how it was good, nobody knew.
The servants of the Jiang Manor glanced at each other, thinking this lady must be muddle-headed from anger.
Jiang Yunchu's face stiffened for a moment, but that was all.
I'm just saying, is this kid like this because of himself?
Or does he inherently bear a grudge against the Jiang Manor?
Why do his words sound like firecrackers?
And he still says if something doesn't suit him, just change it? The thing she finds unsuitable here is precisely this little brat, okay?
"Regardless of the past, whether gratitude or resentment, if the Jiang Manor has any business in the future, you can come find me at the Regent Prince's Manor." Jiang Yunchu said calmly.
As for the General's Manor, she, a soul from another world, actually harbors no resentment.
Especially after discovering interesting things in the original owner's memories, although she still has no answer in her heart now, she is willing to lend a hand if the Jiang Manor ever faces danger.
"No need."
But…
Madam Xiao, however, refused.
"Yun chu, since you're already married, you belong to the Regent Prince's Manor; don't meddle in the Jiang Manor's affairs anymore."
Madam Xiao's words are quite interesting; they sound like a firm refusal, yet they also reveal each party's stance.
What secret could the Jiang Manor possibly hold?
"If that's the case, I won't insist."
When returning to one's natal home, even the least favored person will be pulled aside for a few words of intimacy; at least they can save face.
But when she returned to her natal home, not to mention intimate words—just any words spoken were no more than a slap's worth.
It was merely going through the motions.
"Are all you people from the Jiang Manor this strange?" Ning Hanmo said speechlessly.
Speaking of which, this stupid woman Jiang Yunchu must have grown up in the Jiang Manor, which is why she turned out so foolish.
"Strange?" Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows, "Little child, do you even know what strange means?"
Ning Hanmo widened his eyes; he had just helped her, ah ah ah, this foolish woman, she's made the little master furious!
"Your stepmother and your sister—everything about them is strange!"
"Jiang Yunchu, you're the strangest."
After the little child finished speaking, he directly turned his face away, his cheeks puffed out, his whole aura exuding, "Don't mess with me, old man—I'm angry."
Jiang Yunchu tugged at his sleeve; the little brat let out a cold huff.
Seeing his cheeks already somewhat deflated from anger, she tugged at his clothes again.
"You're a woman, I'm a man—men and women are different." Ning Hanmo gave a cold snort.
He was angry, the kind that can't be soothed.
"Thanks for today's affair." Jiang Yunchu lightly expressed her gratitude; she had initially thought this little overlord was taking revenge on her, deliberately going to the Jiang Manor to embarrass her.
But she hadn't expected…
She thought it over; it probably had to do with yesterday's thunderstorm.
This child… actually has many strengths; he's very protective of his shortcomings, and belongs to the type that repays kindness; if he weren't in the capital, but placed in the martial world, he might have even more room to develop.
The Regent Prince's Manor is his background and confidence; perhaps it will also become his framework in the future.
Ning Hanmo looked at her and then said, "We owe each other nothing."
After he said that, his delicate ears turned completely red.
Really couldn't tell, the little tyrant is still a shy child.
Jiang Yunchu's mouth corner unconsciously pressed; if he laughed at this critical moment, the little tyrant wouldn't know when to remember it.
"Yun chu!"
Jiang Yunchu had just gotten off the sedan chair when she saw Yue Yue sitting at the gate.
She hurried over, asking, "How can you let the young lady sit here?"
Aunt Liu's face turned a little pale; just then, a childish voice said, "Yun chu, don't be angry, I miss you."
She clung to Jiang Yunchu's thigh, her whole body like a little accessory; no matter what was said, her tiny arms wouldn't let go.
"Yue Yue." Ning Hanmo seeing Ning Yue Xue's appearance really felt it was hard to look at.
However, Yue Yue is a girl, and girls are just spoiled.
"Older brother, how did you come back together with Yun chu?" Yue Yue widened her eyes, looked up at Yun chu, then at her older brother.
Suddenly feeling, older brother is so smart, how could I not have thought of that!
Older brother must have been afraid Yun chu wouldn't come back, so he followed her.
"I... just went out for a walk." Ning Hanmo said that, fearing Yue Yue would keep asking, he hurried back to the courtyard.
And Jiang Yunchu finally couldn't help but laugh; the curved corner of her mouth and her arched eyebrows made Bai Zhi stare.
"Princess Consort, you're so beautiful." Bai Zhi used to be a person from the jianghu; after being rescued by Ning Chengyan, she was sent to serve the Imperial Noble Consort, protecting her.
After Jiang Yunchu married in, the Imperial Noble Consort carefully selected two maidservants from around her and sent them to Jiang Yunchu's side.
Jiang Yunchu probably also understood the Imperial Noble Consort's intention, so she accepted them fully.
The Old Lady had doted on these two children for so many years; how could she just hand them over and not care? She needed to know whether the children were doing well or poorly, and whether they had been mistreated.
And she just turned a blind eye.
