Chapter 137: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 17
Jiang Yueshu looked thoughtful, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of what Yun Xi said.
Yunxi was watching the changes in Jiang Yueshu's expression from the side, with anticipation mixed with a hint of nervousness.
After a short silence, Jiang Yueshu spoke.
"Aunt, no matter what you say, Shushu has made up her mind and will not change it. I will never play with the lives of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Telling my father and letting my third sister marry in his place will have the same result, either way it's just death. If I can save the Prime Minister's Mansion with my own strength, then I am willing to join the game."
Jiang Yueshu looked at Yunxi seriously with a firm gaze.
"Besides, aunt, all these results are just based on that cause. What if all these are rumors? With my status as the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if the rumors are true, the prince will definitely not kill me directly."
"Shushu, you..." Yunxi looked anxious and wanted to persuade her again.
Jiang Yueshu refused directly and seriously, "Aunt, please don't persuade me anymore. If we disagree, I can only ask my father."
Yunxi: "......"
Yunxi's face changed color instantly, and his expression fell very quickly.
Jiang Yueshu simply ignored her and said goodbye.
"Since there is nothing else to do, Shushu will leave first."
Yun Xi got angry only after Jiang Yueshu had disappeared.
She picked up the teacup used by Jiang Yueshu and threw it out with a "swish".
After smashing several sets of tea sets, Yunxi's anger gradually subsided.
Given her long-term understanding and influence on Jiang Yueshu, how could Jiang Yueshu refuse her?
How can a person who is mean and stupid at heart say such righteous words?
It's such irony!
Yunxi looked at the hall which was full of broken things and had almost no place to stand, so she called Hong Luo to clean it up, and then she went to the inner room.
Since Jiang Yueshu refused, she could only think of other ways.
The wedding date is approaching and she doesn't have much time.
The whole next day, Yunxi remained alert while eating. She was afraid that Jiang Yueshu might speak too quickly and tell others what happened yesterday, which would be difficult to resolve.
After being worried for a whole day, she finally felt relieved because Jiang Yueshu didn't mention the matter.
Because the two of them parted on bad terms last time, there seemed to be a rift between Jiang Yueshu and Yunxi, and neither of them took the initiative to talk to the other.
On the third day, which was the servants' day off, Yun Xi could no longer hold back and went straight to Jiang Yueshu's yard.
"Shushu, it was your aunt who got it wrong last time. Do you still blame your aunt?" Yun Xi smiled and pulled Jiang Yueshu's arm affectionately.
"My aunt treats me very well. Everything she said was only for my own good. How could I blame her?" Jiang Yueshu responded to Yunxi with a faint smile.
"That's good. I've been feeling sad since that day. I'm happy that Shushu can forgive me. Today I'll open my wallet and invite Shushu to have a meal at Fuxianglou. If there's anything you like, I'll pay for it too. How about it?" Yunxi said proudly.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the unconcealable satisfaction in Yunxi's eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It seemed that she had used a ruthless trick.
"That's great, of course. My aunt really treats me very well." Jiang Yueshu said happily.
As soon as they arrived at the gatehouse, the carriage and coachman were already ready.
Yunxi went up first. Jiang Yueshu glanced at the coachman and found that he was the one who went out last time.
Along the way, Jiang Yueshu leaned over the carriage curtain and looked at both sides of the street. When she saw a jewelry store or a rouge shop, she would stop the carriage without hesitation and take Yunxi to go shopping together.
Yunxi looked at the exquisite ornaments and felt something was wrong. She glanced over and saw the silk flower in the corner.
"Shushu, look over there. Those are your favorite silk flowers. Go and take a look." Yunxi moved sideways to block Jiang Yueshu's sight, pulled Jiang Yueshu's hand and walked towards the corner, trying to draw her attention to the silk flowers.
Based on her long experience in buying jewelry, these exquisite and beautiful jewelry are definitely not cheap. If Jiang Yueshu takes a fancy to them, she will have to spend a lot of money today.
Just thinking about this, Yunxi's face turned extremely ugly.
Jiang Yueshu did not follow Yunxi's wishes. She directly pulled Yunxi. Due to her physique, she pulled Yunxi back, and the jewelry that was covered by her was exposed.
Jiang Yueshu directly picked up a white jade hairpin with a happy look on her face.
"Aunt, look at this white jade hairpin. Isn't it beautiful?"
As she spoke, she seemed to react to what Yunxi had just said. Jiang Yueshu looked around the corner and saw ordinary silk flowers, but in different colors.
"Aunt, have you forgotten what father said last time? He and my brother don't seem to like silk flowers very much."
Jiang Yueshu looked depressed for only a moment, then she excitedly held up the white jade hairpin and walked in front of Yunxi.
"I never understood what my father said last time. I've been thinking about it for a long time recently. I'd like to take this opportunity to prepare something different for them. This white jade hairpin looks pretty good to me. What do you think, aunt?"
Yunxi: "......"
"This, Auntie, doesn't think it's appropriate."
"Is that so?" Jiang Yueshu felt a little disappointed, but reluctantly put the hairpin back and kept looking at it lovingly.
"No, no, no, aunt, I just want this. I remember my aunt once told me that if there is a conflict between your preferences and other people's opinions, then you should see which one you want more. If your preferences outweigh your opinions, then you should not care about other people's comments. Didn't my aunt promise me that if there is something I like, she would buy it for me." Jiang Yueshu shook Yunxi's hand coquettishly.
Yunxi recalled hesitantly, when did she say this?
How could she possibly say that?!
Especially towards this adopted daughter, she couldn't be so kind.
"Shushu, when did your aunt say such words? Did you remember it wrongly?" Yun Xi thought about it again and again and looked at Jiang Yueshu.
"Aunt, have you forgotten that when I was young, I was laughed at by the young ladies and gentlemen in other mansions because of my body shape. I really couldn't stand being hungry, but I was afraid that they would laugh at me, so my aunt asked me to take care of my body. This is what I want more." Jiang Yueshu said.
Yunxi: "......"
What's going on with this girl?
It’s been such a long time since this happened, yet she still remembers it so clearly!
Helplessly, Yunxi had to take the white jade hairpin from Jiang Yueshu's hand and let the shopkeeper pay.
"Aunt, there's still one for my brother." Jiang Yueshu said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper swiftly took out another white jade hairpin with a smile on his face.
"Miss, you have good taste!"
Yunxi had no choice but to pay the bill and leave again.
After entering the rouge shop, Jiang Yueshu followed the same method and asked Yunxi to pay some silver.
Yunxi looked at his shrinking wallet and began to reflect.
Did she do something wrong?!
If she had known that Jiang Yueshu was so generous, she might as well just treat her to a meal.
