After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l
Chapter 278 Can only be called at home
Upon hearing this, Xiang Suiyuan was taken aback, his expression somewhat strange. Jiang Yuyue then belatedly realized that she was still wearing the face of "He Wu," and hurriedly removed the human skin mask, revealing her original appearance.
"Miss!?"
Xiang Suiyuan was so shocked by this scene that he almost cried out, "You...you're still alive!"
Butler Xiang was always tight-lipped; he had never told even his own son that "He Wu" was "Jiang Yuyue." Now that Xiang Suiyuan had suddenly seen her, he was truly astonished.
"It's a long story."
Jiang Yuyue briefly explained the current situation, "I was forced to appear as a man for some reason before, but now I can't hide it anymore. I need to find someone to marry to avoid trouble, but it's just a temporary measure, just an act. I need to find someone who knows our Jiang family well. I wonder if Brother Yuan would be willing to help with this?"
The amount of information conveyed in those words was truly overwhelming. Xiang Suiyuan was slightly taken aback for a moment, but then readily agreed.
"Since it is Miss's request, I will naturally do my utmost to fulfill it, even at the cost of my life."
Xiang Suiyuan agreed with exceptional ease, and the steward smiled in return, "I told you, this lad would definitely agree!"
Jiang Yuyue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She hadn't expected that such a suitable candidate would be so close at hand. However, Xiang Suiyuan was trustworthy in every aspect, making him the perfect candidate for a fake marriage.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Yuyue immediately thanked her, and then hurriedly looked at Madam Jiang, "Mother, there's no time to lose. Now that the person has been chosen, let's start preparing for the wedding as soon as possible. There's no need to be too meticulous in the preparations; the sooner the better!"
After saying this, Jiang Yuyue quickly walked out the door, hailed a carriage, and immediately went to the shop where Zheng Guang was.
Although her place for buying and selling information hadn't been of much use over the years, it was now the perfect place to promote her return and marriage.
What Jiang Yuyue didn't know was that the moment she removed her human skin mask and stepped onto the carriage was witnessed by Yueying.
Seeing that He Wu had indeed transformed into the Miss Jiang that his master had been searching for, Yueying's expression hardened. However, he also knew that Jiang Yuyue's sudden abandonment of her pretense was probably not a good sign.
The carriage soon stopped in front of the shop. Jiang Yuyue stepped into the shop. When Zheng Guang saw that she had come with his face on her back, his expression changed and he quickly led Jiang Yuyue into the inner room.
"Miss!? What's wrong with you...!?"
“From this day forward, I am no longer He Wu, but Jiang Yuyue.”
Jiang Yuyue got straight to the point, saying, "Manager Zheng, you need to help me spread this news throughout Jinling. Tell them that Jiang Yuyue, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, suffered an accident in the capital a few years ago and lost her memory. That's why she hasn't returned home all these years. Until recently, she accidentally returned to Jinling and was recognized by the son of the Jiang family's steward, who then brought her back to the Jiang family."
"Not only that, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family has also fallen in love at first sight with Xiang Suiyuan, the son of Steward Xiang. The Jiang family is already making preparations for their marriage. As for He Wu's whereabouts..."
Jiang Yuyue pondered for a moment, then said, "Just say that He Wu went to Shuozhou to take care of his maternal grandparents."
Zheng Guang was taken aback by her words, but he understood her intention. Although he found it hard to believe, he immediately agreed, "Alright, this servant will get to it right away."
These words also reached Yueying's ears, who was eavesdropping outside the window. Although he guessed that Jiang Yuyue would definitely take some action, he did not expect that she would come up with such a method in order to escape her master.
Marrying down to the steward's son... Miss Jiang is indeed capable of doing such a thing.
Yueying had no doubt about the authenticity of her actions, and she also knew that once their marriage became a reality, it would probably not be so easy for her master to bring Miss Jiang back to the palace.
With that in mind, Yueying no longer hesitated. He went to a secluded spot, whistled, and a carrier pigeon immediately landed on his shoulder.
We must inform our master of this news immediately!
Zheng Guang was as reliable as ever. The next day, the news that the eldest daughter of Jiang, the richest man in Jiangnan, had come back to life and was going to marry the son of the steward quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling. People talked about this matter almost all the time.
"Oh my, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family has actually come back alive! I saw it when the Jiang family held her funeral four years ago. The patriarch and patriarch of the Jiang family were crying their hearts out. I never expected that their daughter would still be alive!"
"And as soon as she returned, she was to marry the son of that steward. That kid is really lucky. He can also get a share of the Jiang family's vast wealth."
"..."
Discussions like these were rampant throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling City. Jiang Yuyue had now changed her identity, and "He Wu" had suddenly gone to Shuozhou. Moreover, her behavior over the past four years was not so easy to change. Fearing that someone with ulterior motives might notice something, Jiang Yuyue was no longer suitable to go to Wutong Pharmacy. Instead, she stayed at home and waited to be married.
"Mother, there's really no need to make such a big deal out of it."
Looking at the wedding dress that Madam Jiang had prepared for her, Jiang Yuyue felt it was too extravagant. "I already said this is just a performance, why go to so much trouble to make these things?"
"That won't work."
Madam Jiang was unwilling to compromise on this matter. "Even if it's just an act, our Jiang family has no reason to wrong our daughter. Otherwise, if others see this, they'll say that our Jiang family has a fortune but is unwilling to spend it on our daughter."
After saying this, Madam Jiang then pointed to the patterns on the wedding dress, her eyes full of smiles. "Look, Yue'er, this was made by the best embroidery workshop in the entire Jiangnan region. Because we needed it urgently, they put in a lot of effort!"
"And this is the dowry list your parents have prepared for you. Take a look and see if there's anything missing. If it's still not enough, your parents will add more for you!"
Jiang Yuyue felt a headache coming on, but she knew she couldn't persuade them, so she let her parents do whatever they wanted. Anyway, the wedding date was set for three days later, and as long as the wedding went smoothly, nothing else mattered.
"Mother——!"
Jiang Qimo was overjoyed when he returned from school. Now that he could openly call Jiang Yuyue "Mother," he was so happy he was practically rolling on the floor. He threw himself into Jiang Yuyue's arms and snuggled against her affectionately.
"Mother, can I call you that from now on?"
Jiang Qimo said sweetly, "Mo'er will finally never have to call me 'Dad' again!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but find it a little funny. She patted his head and still reminded him, "You can only call him at home."
