The soft and gentle voice of the girl made Lian Zimo quicken his pace, he slightly curiously turned his head, walking while sizing up the yard, under the tree that light and agile red-clothed woman. Jiang Wan Yi felt a gaze, she retracted the joy on her face, restored her usual elegant demeanor, slowly turning her head back, she caught sight of the white-clad boy strolling in the pavilion, his warm and gentle smile, his eyes slightly rippling as he looked at her.
Lian Zimo also looked back at the girl in red, who was looking at him. From a distance, he had already seen her beautiful face with peach-like cheeks and almond-shaped eyes. As he approached, he saw that the young girl was slender and elegant, with a good voice to match. Her beauty was truly exceptional. Lian Zimo walked forward, thinking that this must be Miss Jiang Wan-yi, the beloved daughter of Jiang An-he, the young master of the Jiang family. Lian Zimo stopped and slowly bowed in Jiang Wan-yis direction.
Jiang Wans small face turned pink as she gazed at the handsome young man in the pavilion, remembering that this was her own home. As the mistress, she slowly walked forward, with two maids hurrying to follow behind her. Jiang Wan stopped not far from the pavilion and raised her hand in greeting to Lian Zimo, indicating for the senior maids behind her to ask the young man in the pavilion: "Young master, may I ask if you are a friend of our familys young master?" Lian Zimo only smiled slightly upon hearing the maids words. The small servant behind him hastily replied: "Our young master came over to deliver something to your familys Third Miss."
Jiang Wan-yi listened to Xiao Xiangs words, her bright eyes quickly glanced at Lian Zi-mo, and she bowed again, saying: "Young master, today is busy, our servants are slow. I will remind my mother about it, please forgive us. Why dont we lead you to San Meis courtyard?" She saw Lian Zi-mo nod slightly, then turned her head to instruct the people behind her: "Later, have someone investigate where the guide went. The noble guest has arrived, why is there no one to escort him and accompany him on his way?"
She turned her head to look at Lian Zimo and said softly, "Third sisters body has always been weak, and she easily doesnt go out of the house when its cold. Today is a happy day for the whole family, but she couldnt come out to join in the fun." Lian Zimo heard this and his expression became somewhat hesitant, asking, "What did the doctor invited by the mansion say about Third Misss illness?" Jiang Waner smiled lightly and said, "Third sister has not been feeling well since birth. Generally, its not necessary to invite a doctor to come to the door, she just needs to rest quietly."
Jiang Wan said, thinking that Jiang Wanting was after all her own younger sister, she was dull and obedient, rarely going out to see people under her mothers control, so she had never been a hindrance to her. She was still young, thinking this way, thinking about what she had just said, it was clear that the person in front of her was proof that Jiang Wanting was ill. Her heart felt slightly uneasy, and her eyes also showed some reluctance.
Jiang Wans gaze slowly fell upon the slender and elegant young man walking out of the pavilion, and she thought about the words he had just spoken with concern. As she looked closely at his face, she saw the worry for Jiang Wanruo flowing out from it. The faint sense of reluctance in Jiang Wans heart quickly dissipated, and she slightly lowered her eyelids, her fan-like eyelashes fluttering like dancing butterflies as she secretly glanced at Lian Zimo.
Lian Zimo gazed at the woman who suddenly seemed constrained, thinking about her previous instructions and then thinking about her previous slip of the tongue. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. Lian Zimo looked at the red-clothed girl in front of him, seeing that she realized her mistake after speaking, feeling guilty for saying something wrong, with a remorseful expression on her face, yet carefully paying attention to her own emotions.
The women from noble families he often met would speak and act wrongly, yet respond with confidence and justification. They always thought others were wrong, even when they themselves were in the wrong. But she had not looked at him before, just occasionally misspoken, yet was so uneasy, and this careful and cautious daughter of a noble family acted like that. Looking at her like this, the beautiful woman in front of him seemed unusually gentle and pleasant. Lian Zimo couldnt help but take a few more glances at her, feeling even more that the young woman before him had an exceptional appearance and a kind heart that moved peoples hearts.
Lian Zimo was even more certain of Jiang Wans identity, thinking that his own mother and the noblewomen in the city had also privately praised her as "being like her mother, with a dignified demeanor and a warm temperament. Such a good woman, who knows which family will be lucky enough to pluck such a lovely flower in the future." Lian Zimo looked at the woman in front of him, thinking the same thing in his heart, wondering which lucky man would be able to get such a wonderful wife.
Lian Zimo turned his head to glance at the small servants hand, then looked at Jiang Wanyi and said: "I just wanted to send some stationery to Third Miss. Now that I hear shes not feeling well, I wont disturb her rest, so Ill have to come back another day." Lian Zimo nodded slightly towards Jiang Wanyi, turned around to leave, but before he did, he heard Jiang Wanyis soft voice behind him say: "Im going to go visit Third Sister later. If the gift for Third Sister isnt too valuable, I can help deliver it. If you have any messages for my Third Sister, I can also pass them on?"
Lian Zimo listened to the clear and melodious voice of the young girl, thinking about the rumors outside that the Jiang family had always neglected Jiang Wanyu. But now, from Jiang Wanyis words, it was clear that they were close sisters, only worrying about Jiang Wanyus weak body. He smiled as he took something from a servant and handed it to a maid who came forward, saying: "Please trouble Miss to pass it on. I dont have much to say to Third Miss, just hope she takes good care of herself."
After Lian Zimo and the young servant turned around and left, the two senior maids who were following behind Jiang Wans back couldnt help but think about what had just happened. They thought about how their mistress had so carelessly mentioned that Third Miss was not feeling well, and yet afterwards she could still put on a show of being unable to bear it, even convincing Fourth Young Master to believe her completely. The two maids suddenly felt a sense of fear towards their own young mistress who had grown up in their household. They hadnt expected that their own familys child would grow up to be so cunning and ruthless, more so than the master and mistress of the house, leaving no room for others to retaliate.
Jiang Wans eyes glanced at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Yaotous hand, and her disdainful expression flowed out. She said softly: "Lian familys fourth young master, even to that silly girl, there is no particularly special fondness." She thought of Lian Si Shaos gaze towards her, revealing a sigh of joy and delight, and secretly rejoiced in her heart. It turned out that the fourth young master of the Lian family was more handsome, elegant, and gentle than rumored, and their own silly third sister had really good luck.
Yuexiu and Yueting exchanged a quick glance, smiled and replied in unison: "Yes." The eloquent Yuexiu flattered: "Masters vision is sharp. However, I think Fourth Young Master Lian also appreciates Misss character. It seems that Fourth Young Master Lian is filial, but doesnt want to go against his stepmothers good intentions." Yueting smiled and nodded in agreement beside her. Both of them understood that from the day they started serving their young mistress, their fate had been tied to hers. This life, they only wished for their masters happiness, so they could have a good life too.
She turned her head to look at Yuè Yíng, seeing the faint smile on her face, and thought that if she could smile, then Misss actions were quite proper. Her heart suddenly felt a bit more at ease, thinking This matter of Fourth Master and Third Miss is just an oral agreement between the two mothers, whether it succeeds or not depends on the intentions of the two mothers.
Miss said so. Miss has always been kind-hearted and will not quarrel with her about this matter. Alas, Jiyu used to be clever, but now following Third Miss, she seems dull and lacks the spirit of before." Jiang Wan saw Yue Xius small movements, thinking that Yue Ying was indeed smart, and had already thought for her before she even planned it out. After finishing talking with Mother, I will still have to chat with her more.
