Xia Yan


The house was exceptionally quiet. Jiang Ruan calmly stood there with a faint smile on her face, yet, her gaze seemed to reveal a streak of grief. In comparison with the pity that Jiang Su Su evoked in others, her quietude caused others to feel an urge to probe further.

The smile on Xia Yan's face had stiffened as her hands tightened into fists inside her sleeves. At first glance, this comment from Jiang Ruan seemed benign, yet, it soundlessly and wordlessly found fault with Jiang Su Su's lack of courtesy. Who would make things difficult for a girl who had just returned home and longed for familial love?

As expected, one could see that the Old Jiang Madame's gaze had become gentler as she looked upon Jiang Ruan. Xia Yan had yet to respond before Jiang Su Su heard the Old Madame's displeased voice echo, "Su niang, your da jiejie has only just returned home. Coming to see me, this zumu, is something right and proper to do. Don't you cause trouble."

For a split second, Jiang Su Su was stunned because, indeed, what she had said earlier was deliberately targeted against Jiang Ruan. However, she had been confident that the Old Madame would not rebuke her at all.  In all these years, she had been cleverly adorable and thoughtful and the Old Jiang Madame had always extremely doted on her. Yet, today was the first time she had gotten angry at her. When all was said and done, however, she was still of a young age, therefore, Jiang Su Su concealed her emotions with some difficulty as she gave a forced smile, "I am sorry, Da jiejie. Su Su did not do it on purpose. Da jiejie, don't be upset, alright."

"You and I are sisters, how could I be angry," Jiang Ruan replied gently.

The Old Jiang Madame was even more satisfied as she stated, "You two sisters both need to support each other. The eldest girl[1]did well today."

Xia Yan smiled as she stepped forward, "Naturally, Ruan niang is a good girl. However, Ruan niang, I heard that Lin Lang caused you to become angry today, seemingly for the sake of a servant. This still needs to be handled by the Old Madame. How did this all come about?"

Jiang Su Su was still curled up at Old Jiang Madame's side, it was just that, at this moment, her posture was not as natural as when she had first come into the room. The Old Madame also looked towards Jiang Ruan and was evidently waiting for her explanation.
