After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l
Chapter 245 Mother Becomes Father
After fiddling around in the room for most of the day, repeatedly examining the drastically different faces reflected in the bronze mirror, Jiang Yuyue nodded in satisfaction.
Now she was dressed in a moon-white long gown, the bodice smoothing out the rise and fall of her chest, her jet-black hair casually tied high behind her head with a plain hairpin.
The girlish look she had previously had was gone, replaced by a face with distinct features but not sharp edges. Her delicate features had a touch of handsomeness, her skin was fair, and her face was like jade, quite different from her previous appearance.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Jiang Yuyue took a deep breath, then cleared her throat and repeatedly tried to lower her voice until it sounded compatible with her current appearance before she went into the inner room.
She learned this disguise technique when she was still in the Xie family. During that time, the housekeeper found people from a disguise organization for her. In addition to entrusting them to disguise themselves as her parents, Jiang Yuyue also spent a lot of money to learn the art of disguise from them.
She learned this skill by pretending to go out to look after the Xie family's shop, and then hiding in the shop managed by Zheng Guang.
She did it so discreetly that not only Song Jinglan, but even Xiao Liu, who followed her every day, didn't know whether she was looking at the account books or doing something else inside.
This move was Jiang Yuyue's trump card, and now she's finally using it.
Jiang Yuyue stepped into the inner room. Jiang Qimo, lying on the bed, stared curiously at the newcomer with his big eyes and his small brows furrowed, seemingly very wary of the stranger who had suddenly appeared before him.
Jiang Qimo only grinned when Jiang Yuyue picked him up and smelled his familiar scent. However, his little hands tried to reach for her face, but Jiang Yuyue turned her head away to avoid his movements.
"Good boy, Mo'er."
Jiang Yuyue smiled and said, "From today onwards, your mother will become your father."
Now she has changed her appearance; she is no longer a daughter of the Jiang family, but a herbal medicine dealer from Medicine King Valley...
What should we call it?
Jiang Yuyue's gaze fell on the sycamore tree in the courtyard, its leaves falling in abundance. "Let's call it He Wu."
The carriage outside the courtyard was already prepared. Besides the luggage, the carriage was filled with medicinal herbs that Jiang Yuyue had brought from the pharmacy. The coachman and the accompanying old woman were already waiting outside. When they saw that the person carrying the child was a strange man instead of the girl from before, they were all stunned.
Jiang Yuyue then offered a timely explanation, "My wife will stay here; only the child and I will travel together. Let's set off."
Seeing this, no one asked any more questions. After Jiang Yuyue carried the child onto the carriage, the group set off.
Jiang Yuyue was traveling as a medicinal herb dealer, so she wasn't in a hurry. She headed towards Jiangnan, occasionally stopping to sell some herbs along the way, trying to make her destination as inconspicuous as possible.
After traveling at a leisurely pace for more than half a month, Jiang Yuyue and her group finally arrived in Jinling City, which they had been away from for a long time.
Although Jinling City was not much different from when she left, Jiang Yuyue felt quite nostalgic about it.
She hadn't contacted her family for days. The carriage stopped in front of Tongfu Inn, and Jiang Yuyue went inside carrying the child.
"Young master, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"
As soon as she entered, the servant Laifu greeted her warmly, his gaze falling on Jiang Qimo in her arms, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my, what a handsome young master!"
"Thank you."
Jiang Yuyue glanced at him and, seeing that he didn't suspect her appearance, immediately felt much more at ease.
"Give me one of each of your inn's signature dishes."
Jiang Yuyue took out a silver ingot and placed it in Laifu's hand. Seeing that he was a generous customer, Laifu's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Alright! Please wait a moment, young master!"
After saying this, Laifu turned to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yuyue.
"Waiter, I've heard that the richest family in Jinling is the Jiang family? I wonder where the Jiang residence is now?"
Upon hearing the person in front of him inquire about the Jiang family, Lai Fu's expression immediately became wary. "May I ask why you are looking for the Jiang family, young master...?"
"I come from Medicine King Valley."
Jiang Yuyue said, "I'm in the business of medicinal herbs, but the herbs I have are all expensive and rare, which ordinary people can't afford. I've heard that the lady of the Jiang family is quite skilled in medicine, and I think that since the Jiang family is wealthy, they might be able to buy the herbs I have."
Seeing that the inquiry was about business, Laifu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smile again. "I see. Please wait a moment, young master. I will write down the location of the Jiang residence for you shortly."
After a satisfying meal, Jiang Yuyue left the old woman and Jiang Qimo at the inn to rest, and then set off again. Following the directions given by Laifu, she took a carriage to the entrance of the Jiang residence.
This is clearly a newly purchased house by the Jiang family. For some reason, the entrance looks extremely desolate, with the doors tightly closed, a far cry from its previous appearance.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue sighed inwardly. After getting off the carriage, she went up and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, someone finally came and opened the door a crack.
"Who?"
The person who opened the door was none other than Jasmine. Seeing that she had returned to Jinling safely, Jiang Yuyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "I am He Wu from Medicine King Valley. I am in the business of medicinal herbs. I have heard that Madam Jiang is quite accomplished in medicine. I have a batch of good medicinal herbs on hand, such as Tianshan Snow Lotus and Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng. I would like to ask if Madam Jiang would be interested in them?"
Seeing that they were there to do business, Jasmine didn't suspect anything and nodded, "Alright, then please wait here for a moment, young master. I'll go and inform them right away."
Jasmine quickly went inside and informed Madam Jiang of the matter, "Madam, a herbal medicine dealer from Medicine King Valley has come outside. He says he has herbs such as Tian Shan Snow Lotus and Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, and asks if you are interested in acquiring them."
More than a month has passed since the news of their daughter's death arrived, but the family is clearly still not over their grief. Madam Jiang had no time to do any business, but when she heard from Jasmine that this man even had Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, and thinking that Mr. Jiang's daily worries were almost damaging his health, she decided to buy some to help him recover.
"Let him bring the medicinal herbs in so we can take a look."
"Yes."
Jasmine responded and went out to announce the news. A short while later, Jiang Yuyue walked into the courtyard carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs. This scene was also seen by someone in the shadows.
As soon as she entered, she met the eyes of Jiang's mother. Seeing the exhaustion in her mother's eyes and the white hair at her temples that was almost glaring, Jiang Yuyue felt a slight pang in her heart.
