Shock! The Real Daughter Made the Transmigrator Girl Cry

Lantern Festival?

The quill in Gu Xiujing’s hand paused for a moment, and Jiang Luo’s smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t say anything to Mother Gu’s stern eyes.

Mother Gu has a strong personality and acts resolutely. Even his old man was so indecisive that he just echoed back Mother Gu’s words.

Since Gu Xiujing was young, Mother Gu always participated in many important decisions for the family. In the past, it was about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but now it also includes the matter of marriage.

The long-term oppression has made him habitually obey Mother Gu’s decision. He hated himself for being cowardly and yet unable to change the status quo.

The only accident that changed his life was his relationship with Jiang Luo.

Gu Xiujing now has the idea of ​​rebelling against Mother Gu but he still doesn’t have the courage to say no to Mother Gu. He could only use silence to express his resistance against Mother Gu’s decision.

But Mother Gu didn’t say anything else and left the study with the help of her servants.

When Mother Gu was no longer visible, Gu Yan hurried in. He took out the earring from his pocket and asked Gu Xiujing how to deal with it.

“Put it away.” Gu Xiujing picked up the quill and dipped it in some ink. Ever since the first day Gu Yan came to Hou’s mansion’s door, Jiang Changning kept on turning a blind eye.

Gu Xiujing will always prepare two copies of the presents in the box.

One was carefully selected while the other one was selected casually.

The carefully selected ones were sent to Jiang Luo. The pair of earrings played a role as a backup present after being rejected by Jiang Changning on the first day.

They both won’t accept it anyway, so how could either of them know how many times this pair of earrings were returned back and forth.

It can also be used to fool Mother Gu and save a lot of trouble, so why not just use it?

On the 17th, it was the day of the Lantern Festival.

It was not yet dark, but the entire capital was already buzzing with people.

All kinds of lanterns have been hung high, illuminating the ten-mile-long street as bright as the day.

The snack stalls were also set up early.

The delicate little wontons were rolling in the hot pot giving off a delicious fragrance and the clear silver noodles in the soup were sprinkled with a little chopped green onion to increase the appetite.

The skilled street vendors made many lifelike little sugar figurines. The sweet maltose was crystal clear and beautiful under the candlelight.

There were also bunches of candied haws, fresh and plump, wrapped in syrup, which makes the children salivate. At this time, the grown-ups would laugh and talk while taking out a few copper coins from their waists to dismiss those naughty little kids away.

The young girls wore flowers and colorful clothes. Holding a delicate little lantern in their hands. Their white and tender faces blushed slightly, hoping for their fateful encounter with their future lover during this magical night.

All those young men were also looking very handsome.

Each one of them hoped to receive some favor from any of the beautiful girls tonight.

The lively atmosphere outside also spread into Hou’s Mansion, where the door was closed.

As soon as Mother Jiang drank her soothing decoction, she heard the soft voices of the little maids on the porch outside the door. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked unintentionally, “What’s with the noise outside?”

“It’s the Lantern Festival, and the little girls couldn’t hold back and kept talking about it. Are they bothering you, madam? Wait a moment, this servants will go and teach them a lesson.” Although the old maid spoke words of reproach, she didn’t move. She kept gently massaging Mother Jiang’s shoulders, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

Sure enough, Mother Jiang was not angry when she heard that, she waved her hand to signal the nanny not to reprimand them: “Forget it, it’s a once-in-a-year festival, just let them go.” Ever since the last time she had gotten sick, Mother Jiang’s spirit and physical condition had been very poor.

After walking for a long time, her legs and feet become weak and she would be out of breath. Not to mention, recently she had been having nightmares whenever she closed her eyes to sleep.

Only by using some soothing decoction can she sleep well for at least two hours.

The maids serving in the yard were about the same age as the girls in the house, and since Mother Jiang was lenient, naturally she could tolerate their attitude a little.

The old maid massaged for a while before Mother Jiang finally let out a long breath. Only then did she feel her heavy body relax a little.

With a healthy body, she also has the energy to talk to the old maid a few more times.

Listening to the laughter of the little maid outside the door, Mother Jiang naturally thought of her children.

“Brother Bai hasn’t returned home yet?”

“Yes, the Eldest Young Master delivered a message a while ago. There is a banquet in the palace today, and maybe he will rest in the palace after celebrating the festival there.”

Mother Jiang nodded. With Jiang Changbai’s temper, she doesn’t have to worry about him being safe.

“Did Luo’er and Sister Ning come out of the house?”

“No, do you wish to call the girls over?”

Mother Jiang didn’t answer.

“Call Sister Ning over.”

Jiang Changning came very quickly. As she had just finished taking a bath, her hair was still wet as she just draped it over her shoulders.

Mother Jiang hurriedly asked Jiang Changning to sit down and asked the old maid to get a dry handkerchief to dry her hair.

“You’re about to marry into the Gu’s house, why are you still so reckless? The scholarly family has a lot of rules, how can you make me feel at ease like this?” Mother Jiang gave Jiang Changning a reproachful look: “How can there be an official lady who wears clothes but ran out with her hair still wet.”

Jiang Changning admitted her mistake obediently, Mother Jiang didn’t really want to blame her, as she just said a few words out of concern.

The old maid’s hands and feet were quick and gentle, and she quickly wiped the water off Jiang Changning’s hair.

She combed Jiang Changning’s hair and silently stood behind Mother Jiang.

“Is there anything mother wants to talk about with this daughter?”

“Today is the Lantern Festival. If you have nothing to do, go out and have a look.”

Jiang Changning froze for a moment, she didn’t a word to answer Mother Jiang’s statement.

She hid her surprise very well, raised her head and smiled at Mother Jiang and said, “This daughter likes to be quiet and doesn’t like to go out and walk around.”

“What are you talking about?” Jiang’s mother frowned, “You are young and should also enjoy a good time. How can you not like the excitement? If you don’t learn to have a good time, are you trying to live like those dying old women?”
