One year during the summer solstice, Mother Jiang suffered from the heat and did not recover for many days. In such unbearably hot and humid weather, Jiang Changning knelt in the ancestral hall and wrote scriptures and chanted Buddha for three days straight, until Mother Jiang became better.

At that time, Mother Jiang was ill, and Changning only cared about her mother, so she couldn’t care less about making a comfortable environment. She knelt for three days, her knees were bruised, and she became thinner. It took a while for her to turn healthy again.

In contrast, the punishment Jiang Luo received was nothing compared to that.

“Okay, come and sit down.”

Jiang Luo quietly rolled her eyes and went back to sit down beside Mother Jiang. Jiang Changning stepped forward and found a place not too far or near.

Mother Jiang felt overwhelmed to send her child away, so she sent someone to call the housekeeper over.

“Greeting to madam.”

“I remember I have a village in Shanghe County. How is the business there?”

“Replying to madam, that Zhuangzi’s location is superior. Although it is far away from Beijing, it is also on a major transportation route, where merchants gather. The scenery there is pleasant and surrounded by mountains and rivers. Some merchants even sent people to ask about it before, but now it is worth thousands of gold.”

Mother Jiang nodded, this land was her dowry back then, and it has been handed over to the housekeeper for keepsake. Previously, it was planned to be passed on to Sister Ning as a dowry, but now she was afraid that it will be used in advance. Fortunately, Sister Ning has a fiancé from the Gu Mansion, and she will be able to marry and enjoy the blessings after suffering a lot of hardships.

“Okay, I see. I’ll arrange a few maids to clean up and tidy up recently, and then find some capable housekeepers. You can handle this matter yourself.”

“Yes, madam.” Although the housekeeper was puzzled, he didn’t dare to ask too much.

Mother Jiang rubbed her temples and waved her hands, “Go down.”

“Is mother there?” Jiang Changning’s voice came from outside.

Before the housekeeper left, Mother Jiang was startled, and her back was sweating because of her guilty conscience.

“As far as the elder girl is concerned, the madam is here, but she is busy at the moment.”

“Let Sister Ning come in.” The housekeeper took his leave, and Mother Jiang called out.

“Eldest miss, please come in.”

“I’ve seen him before.” When the housekeeper came up to her and greeted her, Jiang Changning only responded with a nod.

“The housekeeper is here to report some household chores.” Mother Jiang explained herself: “What’s the matter?”

“I learned how to make a soothing sachet and wanted to give it to my mother. This daughter asked the doctor about it. This prescription is mild, and most of it consists of calming and nourishing herbal medicine. It smells light and gentle, and it is good for sleeping when placed on the bed.” Jiang Changning reached into her sleeve and took out a sachet from her bag and hand it to Mother Jiang.

There were so many people in the room just now, only Sister Ning noticed that she was not looking good. After yesterday’s nightmare, it was difficult to fall asleep, and the headache didn’t get better until early in the morning. Mother Jiang thought it was enough for her to act nonchalantly, but didn’t expect Changning to be so vigilant.

Mother Jiang felt relieved and stroked the sachet in her hand. The embroidery was familiar, and it was embroidered by Sister Ning herself. The stitches were fine and orderly, her favourite style.

“Good girl, you have a heart.” Mother Jiang patted Jiang Changning, and called the serving woman to come in: “Take the key to my storeroom and go choose a piece of Jiangnan satin that was rewarded by the New Year’s Saint for Sister Ning. The one that looks like a jade flower. This girl is so plainly dressed all day long.” She scolded.

Understanding Jiang’s mother’s intentions, Jiang Changning did not refuse: “Thank you, mother.”

Changning went to the old house alone, but back with a group of people.

Hong Xing came up to meet her, and looked at Jiang Changning followed by a group of servants who were carrying brocade boxes, and was surprised: “Miss, this is?”

Jiang Changning chuckled helplessly: “It’s from mother.”

She was originally rewarded with a piece of cloth, but after thinking about making clothes, she realized that jewelry is indispensable, so she picked some hairpins and other things.

[Host, Mother Jiang has given Jiang Changning many rewards.]

Jiang Luo’s system has been watching the movements in Jiang Changning’s yard. A group of people walked from Mother Jiang’s yard to Jiang Changning’s in a large group, which attracted the attention of the system: [Please host, you better strategize carefully and increase the favorability of the main characters as soon as possible! ]

Jiang Luo was dyeing her nails with great interest, and blew on her fingertips: “It’s okay, let her be proud for a few more days. The fish will be caught in the net soon.”

Thinking of how she spent a lot of money to lower Jiang Changbai’s head, Jiang Luo’s heart ached

[The host’s points are limited, and the exchangeable items are limited, please use them with caution. ]

Suddenly there was a commotion in the yard, “Come on! Your master has fallen into the water!”

The accompanying boy ran into the Hou’s mansion with Jiang Changbai on his back. With the tip of his toes dripping on the ground, he made a path.

“Changbai! What’s the matter—”

“Brother!”

“Brother—”

The doctor was in the room for diagnosis and treatment. Mother Jiang was anxious and panicked. She quickly grabbed the boy and asked what happened.

“This servant accompanied the young master to buy books but before we reached the bookstore, the young master suddenly walked straight into the river. No matter how much this servant shouted, the young master continued walking. As if…” The young servant paused, his eyes dazed, as if he didn’t know whether he should or not continue his word.
