The Clan Patriarch of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Manyun's great-grandfather, personally paid a visit under the pretext of purchasing Spiritual Wine.
Jiang Chenxi accompanied him. During a pause in the conversation in the elegant pavilion, he specifically called Jiang Manyun aside. The siblings whispered to each other by the Lotus Pond.
“Sister, a few days ago, True Master Xuan Yi agreed to the marriage alliance, specifically stipulating that you must marry him before he can agree.”
“Great Grandpa's visit this time is to take you back. The elders of the clan think that as long as you agree to the marriage union, you can set the terms freely, even allowing Aunt Juan to leave the mansion and purchase a separate house for her to live in retirement.”
“How is Mother?”
Upon hearing the news of the marriage proposal, Jiang Manyun felt a surge of rage. However, the thought of her mother being allowed to leave the mansion and live alone brought forth a wave of unspeakable sorrow.
Her mother had always cared for her deeply. Although she was only a neglected concubine, she used her frail shoulders to support her and protect her under her wings, preferring to suffer herself rather than let her daughter be wronged.
If possible, she truly wished to bring her mother out and let her enjoy her twilight years without any suffering.
“Aunt Juan's health is not very good.”
Jiang Chenxi looked downtrodden: “She caught a cold a while ago and has been coughing since. She did not want me to tell you, worrying that you are struggling alone out there and she didn't want to add to your worries.”
“Mother, your daughter is unfilial.”
Jiang Manyun felt a pang of pain in her heart, her eyes immediately clouded with tears: “Your daughter cannot stay by your side to take care of you, leaving you to suffer alone.”
“Sister.”
Jiang Chenxi tiptoed, glanced towards the elegant pavilion, leaned forward, and kept his voice extremely low.
“You don't have to make a decision about the marriage today. I will persuade the Clan Patriarch to give you some time to think. As for Aunt Juan's illness, a doctor has already seen her. She will get better after taking a few doses of medicine.”
“Brother, thank you.”
Jiang Manyun's eyes shone with gratitude, expressing her sincere thanks.
“Why are you saying thank you, sister? We are blood siblings.”
Jiang Chenxi was unusually serious, his eyes filled with warmth.
“This is what suits you.”
Jiang Manyun felt a wave of warmth, she affectionately patted his shoulder, genuinely sighed: “Being calm and restrained gives people an incredible sense of security, making you especially likable.”
“Your brother's face appeals to both men and women, too charming.”
Jiang Chenxi lost his seriousness in less than a second and started to joke again: “Being non-serious has already swept over the Ethereal Immortal Palace, making female disciples crazy about me, like moths to a flame, throwing themselves at me. If I were serious, who knows what would happen…”
“Alright, alright, stop boasting.”
Jiang Manyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, hurriedly interrupting him: “If you keep on boasting, you'll reach the sky.”
“Hehe.”
Jiang Chenxi let out a chuckle, and his serious expression returned: “Sister, think about the marriage. If you really don't want to, don't force yourself. Your brother will help you explain to the elders. As for Aunt Juan, let's find another way. If we can get her out, we'll do our best.”
“Hmm.”
Jiang Manyun was moved and her eyes blurred with tears once again.
*
Under Jiang Chenxi's persuasion, the Jiang Clan Patriarch left the Lin Residence.
The old man was displeased. Before leaving, he glared at Jiang Manyun warning her to bear the consequences if she dares to defy the decision of the elders.
“Bah, selling a girl for glory, shameless old man.”
Chu Lian was with Jiang Manyun to receive the guests. She had been holding back her anger in the elegant pavilion. As soon as the Clan Patriarch left, she directed a tirade at the retreating Flood Dragon Flying Carriage.
