Chapter 124 The cannon fodder daughter who was married off in ancient Chinese literature 4
Several people seemed to want to talk to Jiang Yueshu, but no one spoke.
Yunxi was the first one who couldn't hold back and asked gently.
"Shushu, why aren't you eating in the house today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone paused for a second, and then continued to pick up the food as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yueshu glanced at the changes in the people around her, and felt better when she saw Jiang's father and Jiang Yixiu listening attentively.
"Aunt, I felt a little stuffy in the house today, so I decided to go out for a walk. It happened to be dinner time, so..."
Jiang Yueshu spoke slowly, and she stared at Yunxi's eyes as she spoke.
It was obvious that her eyes were tense for a moment, and then quickly returned to gentleness.
Jiang Yueshu's eyes flickered. She only mentioned that the room was stuffy. Was that why she was nervous?
The aromatherapy is Yunxi's work?
Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief inconspicuously. She naturally didn't want Jiang Yueshu to eat with them. In addition to getting Jiang Yueshu to eat more, she also had another purpose, which was to make the relationship between father and daughter worse.
No matter how good the relationship is, it will eventually fade due to long-term estrangement. Moreover, if one party keeps giving and the other party keeps demanding without limits, she doesn't believe that this can't drive them apart.
"So I will eat with everyone from now on." Jiang Yueshu said the second half of the sentence with a smile.
Yunxi's expression, which had just relaxed, changed again as she thought about the truthfulness of Jiang Yueshu's words.
Father Jiang suddenly coughed and said to Jiang Yueshu in a cold tone, "Then it's settled. From now on, you come over every day at mealtime."
"Father, I understand." Jiang Yueshu replied with a smile.
Father Jiang felt a little embarrassed. Looking at his daughter's smiling face, he felt for a moment that his words were too harsh.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Jiang's father picked up the public chopsticks next to him and picked up a piece of meat for Jiang Yueshu, and said briefly: "Eat more."
Jiang Yueshu smiled and handed over the bowl and took it.
Yun Xi lowered his head to hide the viciousness in his eyes. He felt that something seemed to have changed since Jiang Yueshu appeared today.
She tried to comfort herself, Jiang Yueshu was a fool anyway, as long as she guided her a little, she would definitely go back on her word. And now she had promised Jiang's father, so when the time came, Jiang Yueshu's sudden change of words would only deepen the conflict between the two.
"Yes, Shushu, you have to eat more. You're so cute when you're fat." Yun Xi adjusted his facial expression and picked up a piece of fat meat with concern, pretending to hand it over.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueshu couldn't wait to take the bowl to receive it, but because she moved too quickly, the bowl flew out and hit the chopsticks, making the table a mess in an instant.
Jiang Yueshu stood up in confusion, as if she had not expected such a thing to happen. She looked at the messy desk with tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
"That's enough, just eat your own food, why are you picking up any dishes?" Father Jiang looked at Jiang Yueshu who was about to cry and scolded her unhappily.
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yueshu again and softened his tone, "Sit down and wait for the maid to clean up before eating!"
The maid who had been there before quickly cleaned up the table and brought a set of bowls and chopsticks to Jiang Yueshu.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the woman in green in front of him, thoughtfully.
The distinct difference in treatment between the two also made the people at the table realize that Father Jiang was scolding Yunxi, and Yunxi naturally knew it as well.
She quickly wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes and ate her meal in silence.
The meal ended in this leisurely manner.
"A nanny will come to teach etiquette tomorrow, and you should go too." Father Jiang suddenly spoke to Jiang Yueshu.
In fact, Father Jiang hesitated for a long time before he said this.
In the past, whenever I discussed things with my daughter, she would always be in a bad mood and lose her temper after just a few words, and we would always part ways on bad terms.
Jiang Yueshu seemed to be doing pretty well today. Although she was still rude, at least she didn't get choked up after just a few words. Jiang's father couldn't help but speak out.
As soon as he said this, he felt a little regretful. He was afraid that the father-daughter relationship that had finally been eased would be broken again because of his words, but in the end he heard a gentle "hmm".
Father Jiang looked over in disbelief, and happened to meet Jiang Yueshu who was looking at him with a smile.
He looked at Jiang Yixiu next to him again with a puzzled look, and only after seeing the other party nod slightly did he confirm that he had not heard wrong.
Father Jiang stroked his beard and inexplicably felt that the weather was very good today.
"Father, I have one more thing I hope you will agree to."
Father Jiang paused as he was stroking his beard, and the joy in his heart instantly disappeared.
After a light sigh, Father Jiang spoke in a deep voice.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"My daughter thinks that little maid is very pleasing to the eye and is very efficient in doing things. I want to ask father for her."
Jiang Yueshu pointed at the girl in green who had just set the table and asked softly.
The green-clothed maid who was called shuddered violently, praying frantically in her heart not to agree.
The Second Young Miss had an unstable temperament and fickle likes and dislikes. None of the maids and servants in the mansion wanted to stay around her. After all, if they accidentally offended the Second Young Miss, they might lose their lives.
Although the second young lady spoke softly and kept saying that she liked him, she was still afraid from the bottom of her heart. What if...
Jiang's father, who thought Jiang Yueshu was going to act unreasonably again, instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be this.
"Okay." Father Jiang made the final decision.
Father Jiang's words instantly made the green-clothed maid turn pale, and she felt a sense of despair and fear, but she tried hard to control her expression, for fear of being seen by the Second Miss.
The other maids and servants in the front hall also breathed a sigh of relief and cast sympathetic eyes towards the maid in green.
One of the maids secretly winked at the maid in green.
The maid in green finally reacted and hurriedly walked up to Jiang Yueshu to pay her respects.
"Hello, Second Miss. My name is Lu Ping. Thank you for taking me in."
"Get up!"
Jiang Yueshu nodded indifferently, and was quite satisfied with her.
She can't find anyone she can trust around her right now, and there's a great possibility that she'll always be living under Yun Xi's nose. There's no guarantee that one day she'll be desperate and try to frame her, and she'll be on her own and won't be able to do anything, so she has to seek help.
Lu Ping was a maid in Jiang's father's yard. Yun Xi probably didn't have the courage and ability to place someone there for the time being, so she took this opportunity to ask Jiang's father for her.
