Chapter 192 I'll Find You a Good Family
Jiang Yutong didn't know what Xue Sitong was thinking, and all her energy was focused on opening the shop.
After delivering the gift, the Seventh Prince went to Xiao Yifeng. Recently, the Seventh Prince had been to the Pluto's Palace quite often, and he always found a reason. There were many rumors in the outside world that the Seventh Prince was on good terms with the Pluto.
Although Xiao Yifeng didn't know what the Seventh Prince was up to, he tried his best not to meet him in private.
Jiang Yutong was busy all day. After he finally sent the people away, he ordered them to close the shop.
Shi Donglian came forward with a smile and said, "You must be tired. The capital city is indeed different. I thought the opening of the Yinbai County store was a big hit, but I didn't expect the opening of the capital city to be even more extraordinary."
Yinbai County had organized a lot of activities to achieve that effect, but this time, no activities were organized at all, so it was really unexpected to achieve such a result.
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Luckily you came to help me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it alone."
Then the two of them went to calculate today's accounts. They didn't expect that there would be so much, more than three times that of Yinbai County.
Both of them were very happy. After finishing everything, Jiang Yutong got on the carriage and went home.
After returning home, I soaked my feet comfortably and felt refreshed.
The next morning, Zhong Qionglan came to the door early. Jiang Yutong had just gotten up. Zhong Qionglan came over often, occasionally giving her clothes, a set of jewelry, etc., and sometimes some food. Jiang Yutong let Jiang Yuwen take care of it most of the time, and only sat down to talk a few times.
Arriving early this morning, Zhong Qionglan said, "Yutong, the Xue residence is hosting a banquet in a few days, and they specially asked me to invite you. Today, I brought you a lot of jewelry and clothes. Take a look and see which one you like, and wear it to the Xue residence when the time comes."
Jiang Yutong felt a headache looking at these things. Every time Zhong Qionglan sent her something, she had to think of a reason to return it, which was really troublesome.
"Mrs. Xue, no need. I have no shortage of clothes and jewelry. I will be there on time for the banquet at the Xue Mansion."
Zhong Qionglan still found it difficult to accept Jiang Yutong's name, Mrs. Xue, but she always thought that there was a long way to go and she would change her mind one day.
"I know you have. These are my little gifts as a mother. Don't refuse them. Just consider it as my atonement for my sins."
Jiang Yutong sighed and finally accepted it.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the banquet at the Xue Mansion. There were quite a few people attending this time. Jiang Yutong was dragged by Zhong Qionglan to meet Old Madam Xue, who looked very kind.
She smiled at Jiang Yutong and said, "This is Yutong. She looks a lot like our child. It's fate that she came to my grandmother's place."
Jiang Yutong smiled and took a few steps forward. Madam Xue took Jiang Yutong's hand and said with a smile, "You are a good child. Since your mother married into our Xue Mansion, you are also a child of our Xue family."
Then he casually took off a bracelet from his wrist and said, "Take this and play with it."
Jiang Yutong evaded the question, "How could I possibly accept such a valuable gift from Madam Xue?"
Madam Xue glanced at Zhong Qionglan, who quickly took the bracelet and stuffed it into Jiang Yutong's hand. "Grandma gave it to you, so just accept it. You don't have to be so polite with family members."
Jiang Yutong had no choice but to accept it, thinking that he would find a reason to return it later.
"Yutong thanks Madam Xue."
Old Lady Xue felt a little unhappy when she saw Jiang Yutong calling her Old Lady Xue on the left and Old Lady Xue on the right. She thought that Jiang Yutong didn't even want the opportunity after being given one. She was just a small country lady and didn't know how to appreciate it.
Madam Xue suppressed her displeasure and asked, "I heard that Yutong was engaged before?"
Jiang Yutong said openly, "Yes, when my mother passed away, my father married a stepmother. She thought I ate too much, so she sold me to someone else as a child bride."
After saying that, he pretended to wipe away his tears.
Madam Xue once again took Jiang Yutong's hand and said, "What a sin! It's our Xue family who has wronged you."
Zhong Qionglan had already been wiping away tears. She continued the conversation while wiping away her tears, "This family isn't a good one either. They abused Yutong and even wanted to divorce her and marry someone else after she passed the imperial examination. Fortunately, they divorced in the end."
"Mom, I'm sorry for my child. I feel so bad. Seeing her at such a young age having to live alone in the future, without anyone around to take care of her."
After saying that, she cried even more sadly.
Madam Xue also wiped her tears and said, "Poor child, you are a good person and shouldn't be ruined like this. Today, I will take charge of you and find you a good family."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yutong almost pulled her hand away from Madam Xue's. She held back and said insincerely, "Thank you for your concern, Madam and Madam Xue. It's all in the past. Yutong is doing well now."
"You are such a strong-willed child. This woman will eventually return to her family, get married, and have children. I will keep an eye on you when the time comes. I won't harm you."
Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately no marriage was arranged for her on the spot.
Mrs. Xue achieved her goal and let go of Jiang Yutong's hand, and the banquet officially began.
Zhong Qionglan always wanted to introduce Jiang Yutong to other people, but Jiang Yutong declined. Jiang Yutong sat in the corner and talked to Mrs. Liang.
She always felt that there was a pair of eyes looking at her. Jiang Yutong followed the gaze and found that it was a woman who looked a little vicissitudes of life. When the woman saw Jiang Yutong looking at her, she smiled gently at Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong smiled back.
Jiang Yutong tugged at Madam Liang's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Who is that woman?"
Madam Liang took a quick look and lowered her voice, "This is Madam Wu, she just returned from exile."
Jiang Yutong didn't take it to heart.
The whole banquet went smoothly except for the fact that Madam Xue kept pulling me aside to talk at the beginning.
Jiang Yutong had just drunk a lot of water and her stomach was a little bloated. She and Dongmei followed the maid from the Xue Mansion to the guesthouse. When they came out, the maid took them around for a while and bumped into a man at the corner. Jiang Yutong quickly apologized.
The man was gentle, "It's nothing, I just left in a hurry."
Jiang Yutong bowed again before returning to the banquet hall.
She didn't notice the man behind her was looking at her.
Jiang Yutong didn't take all this to heart. She waited until the banquet was over before returning home with Jiang Yuwen.
She originally thought that everything was going well, but unexpectedly, a matchmaker came to her door the next day. Jiang Yutong was stunned. This Old Lady Xue was too efficient. She must have set a trap for her so early.
