Chapter 191 Just Think of It as One More Relative
As soon as Xue Sitong finished speaking, Jiang Yutong looked at her speechlessly. Did this mean they were bullying Zhong Qionglan?
Zhong Qionglan quickly pulled Xue Sitong over and said, "Tong'er, don't say that. It's all my fault. I have to bear the consequences."
Jiang Yuwen rubbed his forehead, "Mom."
The word "mother" almost made Zhong Qionglan cry out loud. She thought Jiang Yuwen recognized him.
Jiang Yuwen continued, "Since you already have a new family and your own children, and we siblings have grown up, even though you married into the Xue family, we are not their children after all. From now on, we can just treat each other as relatives during festivals."
Zhong Qionglan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Yuwen's attitude wasn't so bad anymore. "Okay, as long as you can give me a chance, I'll slowly make it up to you."
But Xue Sitong was unwilling to do so. Wouldn’t that mean her plan would be ruined?
"No, since you are my child and I married into our Xue family, you are our Xue family's child, and we welcome you."
Jiang Yutong narrowed her eyes, feeling that something was wrong with Xue Sitong, as he was so eager to get them back to the Xue family.
"No need. My brother and I are already adults, and I agree with him. Let's just be relatives."
Zhong Qionglan grabbed Xue Sitong, who was about to say something, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's do this, as long as you still want me as your mother."
Then she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and took a few steps closer to Jiang Yuwen. "Yuwen, you've grown up so fast. Let me take a good look at you."
Jiang Yuwen stiffened his body and let Zhong Qionglan look at him carefully. An inexplicable feeling emerged in his heart. This was the mother he thought about day and night.
Zhong Qionglan hugged Jiang Yuwen and said, "My Yuwen has grown up."
Jiang Yuwen fell into Zhong Qionglan's arms and burst into tears, "Mom, how could you be so cruel to abandon me and my sister? Do you know how much I miss you?"
The two hugged each other and cried, "It's all mother's fault. From now on, mother will never leave you again."
Jiang Yutong saw the two people hugging their heads and crying sadly, then looked at Xue Sitong who was clutching a handkerchief beside them, and slipped away first.
When the two people who had almost cried raised their heads and wanted to pull Jiang Yutong together, they found that Jiang Yutong had disappeared long ago, and saw Xue Sitong pouting beside them.
Zhong Qionglan waved at her, "Tong'er, come and meet big brother."
Xue Sitong walked over reluctantly, "Brother."
Jiang Yuwen responded in a deep voice, "Yeah."
Zhong Qionglan smiled at this scene, then looked inside again. She didn't see Jiang Yutong, and a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart. She wondered if she still refused to forgive her.
When Jiang Yuwen found Jiang Yutong, she was leisurely walking in the back garden alone.
"younger sister."
Jiang Yutong looked behind him and asked, "Are they gone?"
Jiang Yuwen nodded and looked at her expression, "Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Yutong smiled at him and said, "No, why are you asking?"
Jiang Yuwen handed over the cake in his hand, "This is the cake from your favorite shop, you can have it."
Jiang Yutong smiled and thanked him. She knew that the pastries from this shop were hard to come by and usually one had to queue up early to get a copy.
When I opened the wax paper, I found that the pastry was broken into pieces.
Jiang Yuwen was a little annoyed and reached out to take it back. "Why is it broken? You'd better not eat it. I'll buy you another one tomorrow."
Jiang Yutong dodged away, "It's okay, it doesn't affect the taste."
As she spoke, she picked up small pieces and started eating. She would be good to whoever was good to her. She was grateful for her brother's kindness to her. What she was eating was not a cake, but a token of his kindness.
Jiang Yuwen thought for a moment and said, "You won't be angry if I recognize my mother again, right?"
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "How could that be? After all, she is our mother."
Jiang Yutong knew that this relationship would have to be recognized sooner or later. After all, filial piety was the most important thing in this era. Jiang Yuwen's way of handling it was already very good. He could just treat it as another relative.
"Then why did you leave so early?"
Jiang Yuwen asked in a low voice.
"I couldn't stand the atmosphere. I cried in front of her. I really didn't remember her anymore, and I couldn't cry. I might as well just leave."
Jiang Yuwen felt a little sad when he heard this. "Okay, it's up to you. If you don't want to see her in the future, just push it to me."
Jiang Yutong smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Both brother and sister laughed.
Soon, Cui Mingzhi's case was sentenced. Cui Mingzhi was executed immediately, and the Cui family members became servants in the government. Mrs. Cui went to the government to do odd jobs, and Cui Yingqiu, the daughter of the Cui family, entered the Jiaosifang and became an official prostitute.
As to whether the person behind the incident has been found out, the public does not know, and the capital is peaceful.
Seeing that the emperor had not looked for her, Jiang Yutong thought that she had nothing to do, and her shop opened smoothly. This opening was not as grand as the one in Yinbai County, but was very low-key.
No matter how low-key they are, they can't be much lower-key. The Seventh Prince and Hades both came with gifts, and Liang Jianzhang even brought his wife to help.
Fortunately, Shi Donglian personally brought people to the capital.
With the help of Shi Donglian, Jiang Yutong's shop ran smoothly. The products of Roufufang had a good reputation in Beijing. The young ladies of the Cui family often sent soap gift boxes to Beijing. These soap gift boxes had long been circulated among the wealthy ladies in Beijing.
The shops in the capital are more luxuriously decorated than those in Yinbai County, and have more private rooms. Jiang Yutong was still inspired by the last jewelry shop. After all, there are many nobles in the capital, and they all like to enjoy special treatment. Jiang Yutong also came up with something special, which is like the head massage and SPA in later generations.
We specialize in receiving female customers, who can have facials, wash their hair and enjoy themselves in the skin softening parlor.
It all depends on the acceptance level of the noble ladies in the capital.
Jiang Yutong was busy running around. When she saw Zhong Qionglan and Xue Sitong coming in, she just smiled and greeted them.
Zhong Qionglan was quite happy to see that Jiang Yutong's shop had grown so big. Her relationship with Jiang Yutong had become much closer recently, and they could sit down and talk normally.
Xue Sitong's eyes were also filled with amazement. She didn't expect that the soap that had been circulating in the circle of wealthy ladies for so long was Jiang Yutong's. At the beginning, the Cui family was very proud of it and praised this soap like a flower. Only those who were on good terms with the Cui family could get such a piece.
Xue Sitong looked at the endless stream of people, curled her lips, and pulled Zhong Qionglan to Jiang Yutong, "Sister, let me and mother come and help you."
Zhong Qionglan was still in her heart admiring Xue Sitong's understanding. Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "How can I let you show your face in public, Dongmei."
Dongmei came up quickly and said, "Take Madam Xue and Miss Xue to the private room upstairs to rest."
Dongmei quickly left with her people. Xue Sitong wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, she realized that this kind of job that requires her to show off in public was not something a lady from a wealthy family should do. This kind of talk was only suitable for Jiang Yutong, a country woman who was said to be divorced. If the Xue family found a marriage for her, she should be filled with gratitude.
