After being married off by my younger sister, I took care of the sickly prince

Jiang Yun personally filled the tea for the two of them and said lightly, "Tell me."

Lan Zhi trembled all over and clenched her fists nervously.

These days she has been working for Jiang Yun and has never made any mistakes. Most of what she does is help Jiang Yun sew a few clothes and embroider some things.

She used to do these chores often when she was in the Hong family, and even more.

So during this period of time, she felt very comfortable staying with Jiang Yun. Even if she couldn't finish her needlework, she wouldn't be scolded or beaten.

She knew that her appearance was outstanding. When she was in the Hong family, she was often humiliated by her stepmother and step-sister because of this face. She also saw how miserable the good-looking maids around her stepmother and step-sister ended up...

So when she was sent to Jiang Yun for selection, she didn't think Jiang Yun would choose her.

After all, no young lady would like a maidservant beside her to have a face more beautiful than hers...

However, Lan Zhi did not expect that the first maid chosen by Jiang Yun would be her.

At first she thought Jiang Yun would be like her elder sister, who just wanted to keep her around and bully her.

But the facts prove that Jiang Yun is really different from her elder sister.

She even felt that being a maid beside Jiang Yun was better than being a concubine in the Jiang family.

It’s a pity that her mother can’t enjoy such a good life.

Lan Zhi lowered her eyes, thinking about the past.

In her ear, Lin Wanyi told her everything about Lan Zhi's life experience and her relationship with Lan Zhi.

Jiang Yun knew that Lan Zhi might be related to Lin Wanyi, but she didn't expect that they were actually relatives.

She looked at Lin Wanyi: "So, where did you originally plan to arrange her?"

When Lin Wanyi heard this, she felt relieved instantly.

It seems that Jiang Yun is not angry. That’s good.

She smiled and said, "I originally wanted to arrange for Qingqing to stay with Ling'er so that I could take care of her and later find a reason to adopt her as my adopted daughter and arrange a good marriage for her."

Jiang Yun nodded, although she also liked Lan Zhi very much.

She's pretty, good at sewing, and quiet...

But after all, this is Aunt Lin's niece, and it would be inappropriate for her to bring her to the Chong'an Palace...

She looked at Lan Zhi and said, "Then let's do as Aunt Lin originally thought. You can take Lan Zhi back later."

Aunt Lin's face lit up with joy.

But Lanzhi bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, aunt."

Then she stood up and knelt directly in front of Jiang Yun, "Miss, I don't want to get married in this life. I just want to follow you. Please take me in."

After she finished speaking, she knocked her head heavily to the ground.

Since she was little, she had seen how humble and fawning her mother was in front of her father. Her father had been very kind to her mother at first, but later, after her mother gave birth to her, she was left with an unsightly scar on her belly. Her father visited her mother less and less frequently, leaving her mother in tears every day and eventually dying of depression...

It's a pity that even though her mother died, her father still never showed up...

From that moment on, she had an idea in her mind, that is, never to get married in this life. As long as she didn't get married, she would not become like her mother.

Originally in the Hong family, she could only think about this idea in her mind.

Until the Hong family fell.

To be honest, she was happy the moment she learned that the Hong family had collapsed.

But her father's crime was so serious that it implicated the entire family, and all the women in the family became government slaves.

But fortunately, she was bought by her aunt.

As for the other members of the Hong family, she no longer paid attention to them after she left the prison.

When Lin Wanyi heard what Lan Zhi said, she couldn't hide the shock on her face.

She stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "Qingqing, do you know what you are saying?"

Lan Zhi slowly raised her stunning face, her expression resolute as she spoke, "Aunt, Qingqing has always forgotten to tell you that the letters my mother wrote to you were all fake. Ever since my mother's figure got out of shape, my father rarely came to her yard. My mother didn't die of a cold at all. She died of depression because she couldn't see my father. In fact, my mother didn't even see my father until she died."

"What?!" Lin Wanyi was dazed for a moment, and fell back into the chair, muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Lan Zhi let out a mocking smile. "I don't want to be like my mother, so since she died, I've vowed never to marry. Men are no good! As for why my mother wrote to you like that, she simply didn't want you to worry. She often told me that you, my cousin, are a concubine in the Jiang family, and your life isn't much better than hers, so she only reports good news to you, not bad news."

After hearing this, Lin Wanyi finally lost her composure, covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and burst into tears.

There was admiration in Jiang Yun's eyes as he looked at Lan Zhi.

She likes such a woman. It is really amazing that she was born in such an era and yet has such thoughts.

But it's too extreme, which is not good either.

But she is still young, and her future experiences will slowly correct her thoughts, so Jiang Yun is not in a hurry to correct them.

Lin Wanyi cried for a while, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and suddenly smiled with relief.

Even she didn't want Jiang Lintian to get close to her, not to mention that Qingqing had witnessed with her own eyes how her mother died tragically.

Why does she have to arrange Qingqing's life according to the established way of life in the world?

She looked at Lan Zhi with pity on her face, "Qingqing, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. But if you want to stay with the young lady, you have to get the young lady's approval."

Jiang Yun blinked and said, "I have no problem with that. The main thing is how you choose."

Lin Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and knelt in front of Jiang Yun, "Thank you, Miss, for taking Qingqing in."

Lan Zhi also kowtowed to express her gratitude, and then corrected Lin Wanyi: "Aunt, my name is Lan Zhi."

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "Yes, Lanzhi, I'll call you Lanzhi from now on."

Jiang Yun held his forehead and said helplessly, "Why don't you stand up first?"

These people were good in every way, except for their habit of kneeling down to others. Jiang Yun was still a little uncomfortable with this...

Lin Wanyi and Lan Zhi smiled at each other and stood up.

Lin Wanyi said, "Lanzhi, go ahead and do your work. I have something to discuss with the young lady."

Lan Zhi knelt down towards Jiang Yun and said, "I'm going to embroider a purse for you, Miss. You and Aunt Lin can chat here slowly."

Jiang Yun nodded and watched Lan Zhi leave happily.

Lin Wanyi's eyes were also full of relief.

After the others had gone far away, Lin Wanyi spoke up, "Miss, you already know about Du Rou's matter, right?"

When she said this, Jiang Yun was drinking tea with her eyes lowered. Hearing this, she put down the teacup and nodded slightly.

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Miss. However, I really only found out about Du Rou by coincidence."

Then Lin Wanyi told the story of how she discovered Du Rou and how she bought Du Rou and sent her to Jiang Yun.
