[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

"Hurry up and ask the neighbors next door to see what happened." Rong Enqing said anxiously.

Meixiang and the coachman hurried to ask the two families next door and opposite.

I soon received a reply saying that the night before, an old lady in gorgeous clothes came with seven or eight people and took the mother and daughter away.

"An old lady in gorgeous clothes?" Rong Enqing frowned. Who could it be?

Meixiang reminded: "Madam, could it be Aunt Jiang?"

Rong Enqing was about to nod, but quickly shook his head and rejected it. "It shouldn't be. If it was really Jiang who took the person away, then Song shouldn't have no reaction."

But Song came to the Marquis' Mansion these two days to help prepare for the flower banquet, and it seemed that there was nothing abnormal about her.

"But, apart from Aunt Jiang and Grandma, who else would take them and their daughter away?" Meixiang was also confused.

Rong Enqing couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking about it. He walked out of the alley, climbed into the carriage, and told the driver, "Go to the second master."

Meixiang asked doubtfully: "Madam, what is this..."

"Maybe Jiang took the person away? Let's go over there and ask."

The carriage went through most of the capital from the West City, returned to the East City, and arrived at Lin'anfang where the second house was located.

As soon as Meixiang helped Rong Enqing get off the carriage, the gatekeepers split into two groups. One ran in to report, and the other came forward and bowed, "Greetings to the Madam."

Rong Enqing raised his hand to signal the servant to excuse himself from the formalities, "Is Jiang in the mansion now?"

The servant quickly replied: "In reply to Madam Tai, our old lady is in the mansion."

old lady?

When Rong Enqing heard this name, he was stunned for a moment.

Meixiang, who was standing by, curled her lips slightly. A concubine dared to call herself an old lady?

Rong Enqing didn't care and walked in. Just after entering the gate and before reaching the hanging flower gate, Jiang, who had received the notification, hurriedly ran out from the inner courtyard.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang glared at Rong Enqing with a bad look on her face. "This is my home. I didn't invite you. Who allowed you in?"

Jiang's tone was so impolite.

The maid behind Jiang tugged at Jiang's sleeve and smiled to smooth things over. "Greetings to the Madam. Please forgive me, Madam. Our old lady is just like that. She speaks her mind."

Rong Enqing looked at the old woman meaningfully. She was smiling, well-behaved and polite, and she was not like the old woman who served Jiang.

Sure enough, as soon as the old woman finished her words, Jiang turned around and slapped her in the face, "You ungrateful person, whose servant are you? Do I need you to apologize for me?"

The old woman was not angry after being beaten, and she still advised with a smile: "Old lady, please don't be angry. The second master said that we and the Marquis' Mansion are one family after all, so we must live in harmony and don't let outsiders laugh at us."

The old woman's words were subtle, but they had a soothing effect.

Sure enough, Jiang, who had been so aggressive just now, quickly restrained his emotions, snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Rong Enqing and asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing here?" His tone was still not good, but he was no longer hostile.

Rong Enqing didn't care, "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"

Jiang's face turned ugly again, and she was about to get angry again, but the old woman tugged at her sleeve again. Jiang said reluctantly, "Go in."

"Madam, please come in." The old woman invited warmly and walked to the front.

Rong Enqing didn't hesitate and walked in.

Jiang, who was left behind, stared at Rong Enqing's back, wishing she could pounce on her and bite her a few times. But when she met the mother-in-law's admonishing gaze, she had to suppress her anger and followed Rong Enqing inside silently.

The second house was a four-courtyard house, which was considered a very nice house in the capital, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money. However, compared with the Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, it was far inferior. The Tingfeng Courtyard where the second house used to live was much larger than this courtyard.

The group soon arrived at the main hall of the mansion. As soon as they sat down, a smart maid served them tea.

As she walked in, Rong Enqing discovered that all the servants in the second house were very well-behaved and treated her with respect.

Rong Enqing was secretly surprised. Song was really a capable person. In less than a month, she managed the second house in an orderly manner. She was slightly better than Zhang.

"Why don't I see Yunhui and the others?" Rong Enqing asked for the sake of conversation.

Jiang curled her lips and said in a gloomy tone, "Yun Hui and Yun Shi went to the academy. Yun Zhao is taking lessons from the teacher. Yun Ai is here, do you want to meet her?"

Rong Enqing was shocked again. Yun Hui and Yun Ye were the same age, only two months apart. Yun Shi was one year younger than them. The two brothers were now going to school, but Yun Ye hadn't found one yet. Even the five-year-old Yun Zhao had already found a teacher to start his education!

As expected of a marquis in the original plot, he managed to settle his three sons so quickly.

In comparison, the Marquis' Mansion seems too useless at this moment.

Rong Enqing suppressed his surprise and said with a smile, "It's rare for you to come here, so it's good to meet her. After all, she is my granddaughter, right?"

"Go and bring the young lady here." After giving the order, Jiang murmured in displeasure, "She is obviously my granddaughter."

Soon, two-year-old Yun Ai was carried over and entered the hall. The wet nurse put her on the ground and led her forward.

"Granddaughter pays her respects to her grandmother."

The chubby little baby greeted him in a baby voice, and tried to bow to Rong Enqing in a very realistic way. Unfortunately, he was too young, and before he could do the bow properly, his body tilted and he almost fell to the ground.

Rong Enqing quickly reached out and hugged the person.

"Oh, my dear, why are you so lovable!"

With a little effort, Rong Enqing was able to hold the baby on his lap, staring at him with curiosity.

Two-year-old Yun Ai had chubby cheeks that were pink and tender. If conditions had allowed, Rong Enqing would have wanted to give her a couple of kisses. Her eyes were big, black and bright, and they twinkled when she looked at her, making her look very endearing.

Before she traveled through the book, Rong Enqing was unmarried and childless, but this did not affect her love for children, especially such chubby little ones, to whom she had the least resistance.

Children have innocent hearts, and they can sense who is nice to her and who truly likes her.

At this moment, Yun Ai clearly felt Rong Enqing's affection and kindness towards her. When Rong Enqing held her on his lap, she raised her head and smiled at Rong Enqing: "Thank you, grandma."

Jiang's eyes turned red as she watched, and her angry look almost took shape.

That was her own granddaughter! Not Rong's! Did Rong have any sense of self-awareness?

And what about Yun Ai? Every time she wanted to get close to her, the little girl would hide from her. Why is she so close to Rong now?

Jiang was annoyed in her heart and her face was full of anger.
