Chapter 242 The Visitors Are Not Friendly
Jiang Miaomiao stretched out her little hand.
He stared longingly at the young lady.
Xu San Niang's face was very dark, even darker than the bottom of a pot.
Reluctantly, he took a peach blossom pastry and placed it in the little girl's hand.
He looked her up and down.
This girl must be the unruly fifth sister that Jiang Zijin mentioned, right?
She's good-looking, but she's just annoying.
Just as Jiang Zijin said, he's a little rascal who ruined her plans as soon as he arrived.
Watching Jiang Miaomiao finish a piece of pastry, she smiled knowingly.
"You must be Miaomiao. Your third sister and I are good friends. You can also call me Sister Xu."
After saying that, she took out a plate of peach blossom pastries from the food box and handed it to her, saying, "Miaomiao is so cute. If you like them, have some more."
Jiang Miaomiao was taken aback.
Third sister?
She was probably referring to Jiang Zijin.
No wonder she thought the two of them were cut from the same cloth.
She thought that Xu San Niang wanted to win over Yan Shu Gege by acting generous, so she didn't think much of it and reached out to take the peach blossom pastry.
The moment my hand touched the pastry...
"Clang..."
A plate of peach blossom pastries spilled on the ground, and the porcelain cup shattered.
"Oops! My hand slipped, I didn't hold it properly." Miss Xu pouted, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"It's a pity there's no food left."
He looked as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
Thinking to himself that since Brother Yanshu wouldn't eat the peach blossom pastry, then the little brat shouldn't expect to eat it either.
Jiang Miaomiao hates seeing others waste food the most.
She squatted down to pick up the peach blossom pastries that had fallen to the ground, muttering to herself as she did so, "My mother always said that we should cherish every grain of rice and every drop of water, and not waste them. I'm going to pick them up and give them to the chicks..."
As she spoke, she raised her little face to look at Miss Xu, her eyes sparkling, which made Miss Xu feel a little guilty.
"Sister Xu, didn't your mother teach you that?"
Xu Sanniang: ...
This brat is actually mocking her!
She looked a little embarrassed.
Then the little guy squatted on the ground, clutching his stomach and crying out in pain.
"My stomach hurts...it hurts...sister, my stomach hurts..."
Jiang Qiao'er strode over, pushed Xu San Niang aside, picked up the little girl, and asked worriedly, "Miao Miao, what's wrong?"
"Sister...it hurts...my tummy hurts..."
Jiang Miaomiao, in a dramatic mood, buried her head in Qiao Jie's shoulder and kept crying out in pain.
Jiang Qiao'er frowned, glared at Xu San Niang, and demanded, "Miss Xu, what did you do to my sister? Did you put poison in the peach blossom pastry?"
It's not her fault.
Knowing that Miss Xu and Jiang Zijin were good friends, and that her younger sister was currently suffering from a stomachache, her first reaction was that this girl was plotting something bad.
And she just discovered it too.
The girl looked at her and Miaomiao with hostility.
But the way she looked at Yanshu-ge was sticky and affectionate, as if she only had eyes for Yanshu-ge and no one else.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable...
Seeing this, Sun Yanshu also became vigilant, protecting Jiang Qiao'er and her sister like a mother hen, and looked at Xu San Niang, "Third Miss, did you really put drugs in those peach blossom pastries?"
After all, her friend Jiang Zijin almost harmed Miaomiao.
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." It's hard to guarantee that this girl won't be instigated by others.
Have to guard against it.
"No, Brother Yanshu, don't listen to Jiang Qiao'er's nonsense. I didn't drug her. I made these peach blossom pastries for you myself. How could I have drugged them?" Miss Xu hurriedly defended herself.
Sun Yanshu's actions deeply hurt her.
She couldn't understand how the child could have gotten a stomachache so conveniently after eating her pastry.
Why are they so insistent that she wanted to harm the child?
What broke her heart even more was that Sun Yanshu was so protective of Jiang Qiao'er that he wouldn't listen to her explanation at all.
Sun Yanshu ignored her and bowed to Madam Xu and his second brother who was standing not far away, saying, "Brother and sister-in-law, please excuse me. You should take the third young lady back and don't come here again."
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Qiao'er and entered Lu Garden without looking back.
“Yanshu…Sun Yanshu, come back here…” Madam Xu was so angry that she pounded her chest and stamped her feet.
Sun Yanshu had always been respectful to her, but now he actually blushed at her because of Jiang Qiao'er.
We cannot marry her; this girl absolutely cannot be married into the Sun family.
If things are like this now, how can anyone respect her as their sister-in-law in the future?
As the two figures walked away, Miss Xu pursed her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face like broken beads, looking utterly pitiful.
This made Xu feel very uncomfortable.
She loved her younger sister the most and couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.
Ever since the third sister met Sun Yanshu at her wedding banquet, she has insisted that she will marry no one but him.
She had mentioned it to her mother-in-law several times, but her mother-in-law always brushed her off by saying that her brother-in-law was still too young. Now, she had quietly arranged the marriage.
She was chosen to be a country woman.
No matter how well she dressed, she couldn't hide her vulgarity.
Moreover, she had heard Qi Caiwei mention that Lord Jiang's niece had a bad reputation in Jiangzhou and had been jilted several times without cause.
Either their birth chart is unlucky, or they have improper behavior.
In short, she is not someone you should marry.
Back in the carriage, she grasped Sun Erlang's hand and said, "Husband, you saw it too. Jiang Qiao'er's character and appearance are no match for my third sister. Yanshu is destined to pass the imperial examinations and become an official, the pillar of the Sun family. How can he marry a peasant girl? It will be a laughing stock. You should persuade our parents to cancel the marriage. Even if Yanshu doesn't marry my third sister, he shouldn't marry Jiang Qiao'er."
Sun Erlang pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly, "Madam, let it go. You can't force things. Yanshu is in love with Miss Jiang, and his parents listen to our third brother."
He didn't go over just now because he didn't want to embarrass Xu Sanmei.
If Yan Shu wanted to agree, she should have agreed long ago. Why wait until she was engaged to someone else before going back on her word?
What kind of person would that be?
Xu knew that her parents-in-law favored their younger son, and that her husband's words carried no weight.
She then changed her strategy and sighed, "Husband, if you don't want to say it, then don't. But it's rare for my third sister to come to Jiangzhou with me. You know she's always thinking about Yanshu. Why don't you talk to her and ask her to spend a day with us sisters? That would fulfill her wish."
Sun Erlang pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He went along too, so nothing should go wrong.
When Jiang Miaomiao returned to the mansion and heard that Sun Yanshu wanted to call a doctor, her stomach pain subsided.
"I don't want to see a doctor. It's because I ate too many steamed buns this morning, and my stomach is bloated and hurts," Jiang Miaomiao said seriously.
Sun Yanshu frowned as he looked at her, thinking to himself that the little one was doing it on purpose.
Jiang Qiao'er glanced awkwardly at Sun Yanshu, poked the little guy's forehead, and said with a smile, "Little guy, you've got some skills..."
Jiang Miaomiao pouted, "Sister, my tummy really hurts, it hurts again now..."
She really worries about these two a lot.
If we don't do this, Brother Yanshu will probably be taken away by the Xu sisters.
It was obvious that they came ostensibly to attend the wedding banquet, but their intentions were far from good.
It seems that this second young mistress of the Sun family is not willing for Qiao Jie to become her sister-in-law; her eyes are full of disgust and contempt when she looks at Qiao Jie.
I don't know if it's because I heard someone gossiping.
In the evening, I returned from my spring outing.
I just got off the carriage.
Sun Yanshu was called away by his second brother again. After talking for a while, he returned and said, "Qiaomei, I'm going on a trip with my second brother and sister-in-law tomorrow. Why don't you come with us?"
Little Jiang Miaomiao suddenly raised her hand, "I want to go too..."
“Go ahead,” Lu Qingyao agreed on behalf of her niece.
She had heard about what happened at the door that morning from Xi'er, and she was worried that Qiao'er's marriage might encounter some setbacks.
Although the Sun family had already made the betrothal and the date had been set for March.
It's been less than a month.
But then, a young woman named Xu San appeared.
That's just how it is—good things often come with difficulties.
