Chapter 191 The Sick Concubine in the Pampering Story 23

Whenever Jiang Wanwan looked at someone, Yuner behind her would immediately reveal the identity of the official's wife.

It happened that a lively woman in pink clothes walked towards the pavilion holding a round fan. Just by looking at her, Jiang Wanwan could tell that she was a delicate, naive and honest person.

As if noticing Jiang Wanwan's lingering gaze on the woman, Yun'er immediately bent down and said softly, "That is the daughter of the Minister of War, Ji Hanci. She has always been straightforward and honest. Her mother, Madam Wu, is the daughter of the Earl of Yong'an. The woman in white with her is her concubine sister, Ji Hanxiang."

The Minister of War, the position is suitable, and the personality is also quite suitable, but this is just what Jiang Wanwan thought in her heart and she did not show it. Instead, she pinched the silk and coughed lightly and said to Bi'er: "If Lang'er comes, bring him over."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the purple figure riding a horse and holding a pole on the polo field.

The horses collided with each other and made a deafening neighing sound. Ji Xian had thin eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and his hair was tied up lazily. At this moment, he was swinging the baseball bat with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and his unruly and high-spirited appearance attracted cheers from many women.

Jiang Wanwan was not surprised that her puppy was so popular, but she had been busy recently and had no time to pay attention to him.

Once her brother's marriage is settled, it's time for her to take care of her own puppy.

With a knock, Ji Xian's team won and dismounted. He glanced at the seat where Jiang Wanwan was sitting as if he had sensed something.

The sun shone on him, sweat slid down his cheeks, and his bright eyes looked at the people on the stage, seemingly with a hint of grievance and unwillingness.

Ji Xian knew that a lot had happened in the Marquis' Mansion during this period and Jiang Wanwan was very busy. Seeing her pale face, he felt heartbroken and hated himself for not being able to help her.

But now she was busy arranging a marriage for her brother and had neglected him.

Ji Xian wanted her to see him, even if it was just for a glance.

However, Jiang Wanwan did not respond to his gaze. She just glanced at him indifferently and turned to look at other people.

Ji Xian felt a pain in his heart. He didn't know what he had done wrong and why he was treated like this.

He wanted to rush up to her and question her, but he didn't dare. He could only stand there silently, looking in the direction of Jiang Wanwan, his heart filled with loss and helplessness.

How could Jiang Wanwan not notice Ji Xian's eyes? It was just that there were many people at the polo field, and she and Ji Xian were, one the husband of a marquis and the other the son of a general, both of whom would attract attention, so naturally they could not have any contact.

At this time, Jiang Lang and other colleagues who passed the exam just entered the gate of the polo field. Bi'er immediately stepped forward and saluted them before saying to Jiang Lang: "Master Jiang, my wife asked me to take you to her place to sit for a while."

How could Jiang Lang not have heard some rumors about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion before? His sister became the Marquis's wife as she wished, but her health was damaged and she lost her child. He once went to visit the Marquis, but was finally driven away by his sister with just a few words.

He calmed down and understood his sister's painstaking efforts. Since everything had become a fact, he might as well take over and gain benefits.

Now that my sister has become the wife of a marquis, I probably don't have to worry as cautiously about the new marquis's wife wasting her time as before.

Jiang Lang naturally recognized Bier's sister's personal maid and nodded immediately: "I'll go with you now." Then he said hello to his colleagues and followed Bier away.

Several colleagues who came with Jiang Lang were all children of officials. They watched Jiang Lang leave and couldn't help but sigh. One of them said, "Jiang Lang is so lucky. He is already the Minister of Revenue. I didn't expect him to be willing to pay attention to us."

Another person said: "Yes, in the past we judged others by our own standards." Others echoed this.

After saying this, they hugged each other's necks and walked towards the seats at the polo field laughingly.

Su Ran and her friends from the Hanlin Academy happened to hear the teasing of several people, and could not help but look at the back of Jiang Lang who was led by Bi'er.

"We were in the same high school as each other, but now he is the Minister of Revenue, while we can only stay in the Hanlin Academy." said the friend with a slight sigh.

As if noticing Su Ran's gaze, he continued with emotion: "It can't be helped. He has such a capable sister. With the promotion of the Marquis, he jumped directly from the Minister of Personnel to a second-rank official."

This friend was born in a poor family, and Su Ran, because he was a bastard's son, had always been suppressed by Minister Su, who did not allow him to make a name for himself.

Naturally, the children of officials in the capital did not dare to associate with him easily, so Su Ran got along better with these children from poor families.

It was not until Su Ran passed the exam and became a Hanlin scholar that Shangshu Su began to pay attention to him, and Su Ran's life in Shangshu Su's mansion gradually improved.

The friend didn't think too much and continued, "Come to think of it, Su Ran, your sister and Jiang Lang's sister are from the same marquisate..."

At this time, Su Ran was wearing a lake blue long gown, with handsome features and a figure as straight as a bamboo, giving people a feeling of humility, gentleness and courtesy.

However, when he heard these words, an unconcealable gloom suddenly appeared on his originally expressionless face.

Although he did not know the situation in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion, he had suffered a lot of trouble from the wife of Minister Su in the Shangshu Mansion, so he naturally knew that his sister's life was probably difficult.

Besides, his current job in the Hanlin Academy was obtained at a price by his sister, otherwise he would have been sent to the countryside under the suppression of Mrs. Su Shangshu.

Therefore, he had thought about whether he should make friends with Jiang Lang, thinking that his sister Su Wanran would have an easier time in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion.

After all, Jiang Lang's sister was favored in the past and now she is the wife of the Marquis, so Su Wanran has to live under her.

Unfortunately, Jiang Lang seemed to ignore him because he was the son of Minister Su. Su Ran gave up after trying twice.

Jiang Lang followed Bier to the pavilion where Jiang Wanwan was sitting, and immediately a maid brought a chair and placed it in front of him.

Jiang Lang saw that Jiang Wanwan was still pale but in much better spirits than before, so he sat down with relief: "Sister."

Seeing her brother, Jiang Wanwan seemed to be more energetic, but she was weak and spoke weakly: "It's a rare polo match today, why don't you accompany me and watch it for a while."

Although Jiang Wanwan didn't say it directly, Jiang Lang knew what she meant. He didn't refute her but responded, "Sister is right, but now you should focus more on taking care of yourself and don't worry about me."

In the end, Jiang Lang was still worried about Jiang Wanwan, fearing that she was already in poor health and had to worry about him.

Jiang Wanwan shook her head: "I know my body best. I'm sick and won't get better." After saying that, she coughed again.

The color of her lips was so pale that even rouge could not cover it, and the handkerchief in her hand was stained with blood.

Jiang Lang stood up immediately in shock, and said anxiously: "Sister!"
