Wen Jiuniang's heart was kind, but she was a person who could put things up and down. (Everyday Chinese.) // She smiled at Jiang Wenyu after a while and said: "Xiao Lan, I was wrong. This family life, after closing the door, is sweet in other people's eyes, but it's actually hard to say whether it's bitter or sweet. I won't advise you on such things in the future, but if there's a suitable person, you should cherish them."

  Jiang Wan said with a light smile: "Ninth Lady, you overestimate me. For someone like me who is neither talented nor beautiful, being able to live peacefully with my child is already the greatest blessing." Wen Jiuniang gazed at the little ones playing on the couch and said softly: "When you go to the capital, if anything happens, come back and tell me about it. I may not be able to help you much, but I can listen to what you have to say. Don't hide things from yourself and not speak out, or else they might come looking for trouble on your behalf." Her words were laced with subtle implications regarding Jiang Feiyang and Jiang Lanyan, and a worried expression flickered in her eyes.

  Jiang Wanru thought of her siblings growing bigger and bigger, remembering when they were first born, their faces still looked like Xiao Lianhao's. As they grew day by day, the two big round eyes, distinct from Lianhao's slightly longer Danfeng eyes, became more apparent. The siblings' eyes seemed to reveal a playful glint, no matter where you looked at them. Jiang Feiyang appeared particularly boisterous, while Jiang Lanlan had a delicate and charming air of a young girl.

  Jiang Wanting thought about the good looks of her children, and she felt that heaven had finally treated her well this time. She smiled with curved eyebrows at Wen Jiuniang: "Wen Jiuniang, in your eyes I am a good person, but to others I am just a weed growing in the wrong place. Look at me, I don't know how to speak flattering words, I don't know how to deal with people who are sweet-tongued and treacherous, and naturally I can't help other families get rich. And I'm also someone without a family background that can be borrowed for power. On the day of their marriage, they would have liked to get rid of me, this shameful burden. After two or three years, how could they still care about my whereabouts? Besides, over the years, I've changed a lot, maybe no one recognizes me."

  Wen Jiuniang looked at Jiang Wenyu's curved eyebrows and saw no hint of bitterness on her face. She smiled and said, "It was just me overthinking things. Others didn't care about you back then, why would they bother with your affairs now?" After she finished speaking, Wen Jiuniang and Jiang Wenyu exchanged a smile, and an unspoken understanding grew between them. Without any external interference, the engagement between Shang Ming and Jiang Lanyu was set in stone and couldn't be changed. Jiang Wenyu was delighted by Wen Jiuniang's sincerity, while Wen Jiuniang admired Jiang Wenyu's carefree nature.

  Wen Jiuniang smiled and mentioned to Jiang Wanyu the journey they had been on, saying: "In a few days we'll be heading back, I'm still here enjoying the spring and autumn scenery - it's really too leisurely. I heard my father say two days ago that he would arrange for two horse-drawn carriages for your family at that time. I think if the three of you can take care of yourselves that would be fine, you'll have two children with you and there will be empty seats in the carriage. There are many people by my side, so we'll divide two women to occupy a seat on your carriage. They are honest and kind-hearted, you can use them as you like on this journey, don't be too polite to them."

  Jiang Wanru was overjoyed, Wen Jiuniang was willing to lend her two women to accompany her on the way, solving her urgent problem. Fang Zheng and his son had no way of returning in time, while the people from Mugen's house, Jiang Wanru had already told them that they would return on their own without needing anyone to pick them up. Chu Xiao and his wife originally planned to bring them back to Beijing when Xia Tian and his wife went on vacation. In the current situation, Jiang Wanru also knew that it was better for Chu Xiao and his wife to remain still. Jiang Wanru asked Fang Zheng to send a message to them, telling them that she had companions and letting them rest assured.

  Jiang Wanting thought that on this journey, there would be many days spent in the horse carriage. With Bi Lü's mother and daughter being so difficult to deal with, and the child being too young, it was really not reassuring to have these three people together. She thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Wen Jiuniang: "Jiuniang, can I assign one of the women to sit in Bi Lü's carriage? Let her be a serious and stern woman who can keep Bi Lü's mother under control, and also accompany Bi Lü's mother to talk." Wen Jiuniang heard Jiang Wanting's words and burst out laughing, saying: "I thought you really had the heart to treat those two women coldly, but it turns out you're just a bit tough on the outside."

  Jiang Wan smiled slightly and said with some concern, "Ninth Lady, if there aren't enough carriages, we can fit a few more people in our two carriages." Wen Jiuniang nodded with a smile, "Xiao Lan, recently many people have been going to the capital from Zhongnan, so Mingzi Shu has contacted the horse team and escort agency. Father said that the arranged vehicles are necessary for your family's two carriages. I don't know how many carriages we can get in total, but if you're willing to let more people ride in your carriage, I'll mention it to Mother first, so Father and Mingzi Shu will be aware. The only thing is, Bi Lü might accept our kindness, but would her mother-in-law really not mind us interfering with their family affairs?"

  Jiang Wanmu thought of Fang Zhengniang's respectful attitude towards her. She said to Wen Jiuniang, "It's okay, my carriage can accommodate a few more people, why can't they?" Wen Jiuniang looked at Jiang Wanmu with some suspicion, making her realize she had been too certain. After thinking for a moment, she felt that it was better to say what needed to be said earlier. With the good relationship between the two families, it's better to reveal some rumors early on, otherwise, they might hear about it from outsiders and hurt this pure affection.

  Jiang Wanmu glanced at Wen Jiuniang's expression, seeing the calmness in her eyes. She slowly opened her mouth and said: "Ninth Lady, about past matters, I'm not unwilling to tell you, but sometimes I couldn't find an opportunity. Having known your family for so long, I believe in your integrity. Alas, bringing up past matters would inevitably involve people who are no longer relevant to me now, which is why I didn't know how to start." Wen Jiuniang immediately interrupted, saying: "Xiao Lan, don't say anymore. You conduct yourself with integrity and openness, and the people around you handle things clearly. Our family is willing to form a close relationship with you because we trust your character."

  Jiang Wanru listened to her words, and with a slightly awkward expression on her face, she smiled lightly and said: "Since the two families are relatives, there are still some things that need to be explained. In fact, Ninth Lady, your family members can sometimes also sense from our words and actions that something is not quite right."

  The two families that were with me have now become relatives, and can be considered as one family. Before they gained their freedom, they were my two attendant families. One of them was the family of my wet nurse, and the other was the family of my personal maid, Bi Lu. She has married my uncle, and Bi Lu is the senior maid by my aunt's side."

  Wen Jiuniang nodded repeatedly, and said to Jiang Wanyu with a sudden realization: "No wonder I always felt that Bi Lü's wife treated you with a master-servant attitude. Although Bi Lü was very close to you, she still showed great respect for you, and her husband looked at you the same way he looked at our master." Jiang Wanyu looked at Wen Jiuniang's expression after learning the truth, and heard her next sentence, she smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I am Bi Lü's husband's master, he is the manager of my store."

  Wen Jiuniang widened her eyes and stared at Jiang Wanting, saying: "I thought you had two shops relying on renting out storefronts to make a living. I didn't expect that in the capital city, you're actually operating two shops. You really can't tell by looking at you that you have such business acumen. No wonder you said you don't lack money." Jiang Wanting shook her head and laughed, saying: "It's just two shops on South Street - one is a joint venture with someone to open a bookstore, and the other is a fabric store. The truth is, these two shops can't earn much money. In the future, I still want to buy two small houses for them to live in. Calculating it out, we really are short of money. This time when I return, I'll have to think of ways to do other things and earn more money. I want to send those two siblings to a good school."

  Wen Jiuniang's eyebrows and eyes finally relaxed, she clapped her hands and laughed: "Xiao Lan, no wonder you have such a strong foundation. You have the ability to make a good living for your children, and indeed, you don't need to suffer under the control of those inner chambers for the sake of silver. I see that you're doing well outside, and it's clear that you didn't think much of that person back then, so naturally, you wouldn't waste your thoughts on him in the inner chamber. No wonder you also didn't think much of my brother, his family affairs are indeed a bit too complicated."

  Jiang Wanru didn't mind Wen Jiuniang's automatic blackening of Lian Hua, anyway she had never spoken ill of others. Jiang Wanru felt that she had already shown her true self to Wen Jiuniang, and her heart felt at ease, smiling as she said: "That person, their family has its own goodness, it's just that they have no fate with us mother and son. We and they are like well water not interfering with river water, each minding our own business and living our own lives." Wen Jiuniang heard Jiang Wanru speak so lightly, she smiled as she said: "The capital is so big, some people will never see each other again in their lifetime."

  Wen Jiuniang smiled and started talking about the places they would pass by on their way back, as well as some fun places to visit. Last time Jiang Wanyu came to Zhongnan, apart from staying overnight at an inn, she really didn't have the heart to play around, so she was naturally very interested in listening to Wen Jiuniang talk about the interesting things in those towns. Just as the two were chatting and laughing, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Wen Jiuniang's face suddenly turned gloomy, just as she was about to get angry, a woman's voice was heard outside the room saying: "Young Madam, there is someone at Jiang's door making trouble."

  Wu Nianiang responded to a voice and saw that Jiang Wanyu had already picked up Jiang Lazi, she then followed suit and scooped up Shang Mingshi, causing the little boy to shout with joy. After the door opened, the woman softly told them: "It's a young woman who came to find Fang Niangniang to reason things out, the two of them were talking at the entrance of the courtyard, and they started pulling each other. I just happened to pass by and say that Fang Xiaoniang has already gone out to talk." Jiang Wanyu heard her words, and her footsteps, which had been hurrying outside, slowed down. She smiled and said to the woman who brought the news: "Thank you."

  Wu Jiuniang hastily walked out, and rudely rushed to Jiang Wanyu, saying: "I've been stuck here for so many years, the people of Zhongnan have always been gentle and courteous, this is the first time I've heard someone come to the door to quarrel. Let's go take a look. We can't move this courtyard, we can't afford to make enemies here." Jiang Wanyu smiled and stretched out one hand to gently pull her, saying in a low voice: "Biqing has come out, this matter will be settled soon. It's also good for her mother-in-law to see her skills, so she doesn't think Biqing is afraid of her. If the two of them really break up, it won't be good for anyone."

  Jiang Wanmu then turned to the woman and said, "Trouble you to go tell Mingzi Shu that I'll be over in a bit to pick up my son." She turned back to Wen Jiuniang and said, "Let's go, Bi Lu won't easily make enemies with anyone." As Jiang Wanmu and Wen Jiuniang exited the gate, they saw Bi Lu standing in front of the gate, smiling and chatting with a young woman. The two of them looked clearly delighted. Fang Zhengniang stood off to the side, her face flushed with embarrassment. When she caught sight of Jiang Wanmu approaching, her body involuntarily shrank back into the courtyard.
