Jiang Ning didn’t want to escalate the situation.
It wouldn’t be good for anyone.
The Emperor also sent Xiaoqian, clearly giving her and the Jiang Family a way out.
Although she was not a donkey, she had to take the Emperor’s offer and back down.
She turned to her father: “Father, since the Prince has said so, I will go back.” Looking at Jiang Yi, “Third Brother, will you escort me home?”
Jiang Yi hurriedly said, “Of course. But…are you really going back?”
He had made up his mind that if his sister shook her head, he would fight the Prince of Yu even at the risk of his own life.
However, Jiang Ning nodded her head and smiled, “I can’t stay at my mother’s house forever, can I?”
Jiang Ruobai said, “If that’s the case, you can go back temporarily. In a couple of days, your father will come and fetch you.”
“Thank you, Father.”
“Also, your father will give you a servant.” Jiang Ruobai nodded to the housekeeper, who immediately turned and left, then led a slightly sturdy maid over.
The maid walked to Jiang Ruobai’s side.
Jiang Ruobai said to Jiang Ning, “This girl is called Xiaoman. She is an orphan I found outside a few years ago. Take her back with you. Xiaoman, from now on, you will follow Seventh Miss. Remember, you will only listen to Seventh Miss’s orders.”
The maid nodded earnestly, walked in front of Jiang Ning, knelt down and kowtowed, “Xiaoman pays her respects to Seventh Miss.”
“Get up.” Jiang Ning was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Ruobai would give her another maid.
She had four maids who accompanied her as part of her dowry, plus Huang Ying made it five, along with two older women, and the family of Jiang Fu. It was not a small number.
Moreover, this maid looked clumsy and not as pretty and lively as Huang Ying and Chunlai.
Jiang Ruobai didn’t say much, just told Jiang Yi to escort her home safely.
At this time, Lin Zizi walked over with the support of a servant girl’s hand.
Jiang Ruobai was surprised to see her.
For so many years, this was the first time she had left Black Bamboo Garden and come to the front yard.
The rest of the servants were also stunned.
Was Madam getting better?
Jiang Ruobai, visibly moved, quickly went to support Lin Zizi’s hand: “Madam…”
But Lin Zizi didn’t look at him. She came straight to Jiang Ning, took her hand, and tearfully said, “My dear, no one can force you to leave. Don’t be afraid.”
Li Hongyuan looked at Lin Zizi and then Jiang Ning.
Indeed, mother and daughter shared a striking resemblance.
Although Jiang Ning is young and beautiful, Lin Zizi was older and pale and thin.
It is said that Lin Zizi was the number one beauty in Chang’an City when she was young.
This beauty is not only about appearance, but also about demeanor.
Even though Jiang Ning inherited Lin Zizi’s beauty, her lazy appearance and sharp, caustic words made it difficult for people to think of her as the first beauty.
Jiang Ruobai was a bit anxious.
His wife’s excessive love for their youngest daughter had reached the point of obsession. If she refused to let Jiang Ning leave, it might cause a scene.
But he didn’t dare force the issue, fearing it might trigger more of her illness.
Just as he was troubled, he saw Jiang Ning push her wheelchair with one hand while holding her mother’s hand with the other. They talked quietly for a while before Lin Zizi’s face filled with smiles as she left, supported by the servant girl.
Everyone was amazed.
Jiang Ning returned with the wheelchair and Jiang Ruobai could not help but ask, “What did you say to your mother?”
“Just some small talk.”
Jiang Ning smiled, “Brother, let’s go.”
Jiang Yi nodded, pushed her, and left.
After Li Hongyuan waved his hand to disperse the crowd, he cupped his hands toward Jiang Ruobai and left with Xiaoqian.
At the door, they saw Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan waiting for them.
“Here to watch the show?” Jiang Ning asked with a smile.
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, “Yes. To see if you’re dead yet..”
