无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Speaking of Jiang Yi, the only male in the second household of the Jiang family, he was indeed a figure who was admired by all, akin to a fairy-like noble son.

Jiang Yi was the third in line in the entire Jiang family, known as Jiang Third Son, the eldest son of Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi. He was also the legitimate elder brother of Jiang Ning who shared the same father and mother.

He inherited all the virtues of his parents, was clean-cut and handsome, and brightly talented. Although he was only eighteen, he had already been selected for the Autumn Examination.

It could be said, Jiang Yi was the pride of the first and second households of the Jiang family.

He spent most of his time studying in the Academy and rarely came home.

Although Jiang Ning had never met Jiang Third Son, judging from the reactions of Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan, he must be very kind to his younger sisters.

Jiang Ning had no expectations concerning this, and appeared quite indifferent.

However, Jiang Yuan was somewhat eyeing her suspiciously, glancing at her from time to time.

Looking at her, it was as if she was very worried that Jiang Ning might snatch her brother’s affection.

Jiang Ning minded her own business and left it at that.

Although she and Jiang Yi were legitimate siblings by blood, she had been missing for over a decade. Jiang Jiang and Jiang Yan had been living under the same roof, spending day and night together, their bond must be very deep.

Bearing a cripple leg, she felt lucky not to be rejected or despised.

After a meal, Jiang Ning barely managed to eat half a bowl of porridge. She was feeling uncomfortable due to lack of appetite yet still felt extremely hungry. After returning to the Black Bamboo Garden, she nibbled on a dry steamed bread, which finally eased her discomfort a little.

Interestingly, other foods made her feel nauseous, but this dry steamed bread was manageable.

She thought about cooking something for herself but she couldn’t stand the smell of cooking smoke in the kitchen.

Being so hungry, she was inevitably a little irritable.

She went to bed early after freshening up. However, as soon as dawn broke, she was awakened. Chunlai and several maids brought in brand-new clothes and jewelry for her to get dressed and dolled up.

The fabrics were of the best quality, and the styles were the most fashionable. A large wide-sleeved dress cinched at the waist, outlining her slender figure, making her look light and delicate.

However, sitting in a wheelchair, Jiang Ning couldn’t quite show off the dress to its full effect.

As a young maiden not yet out, she didn’t need to dress up too much. She wore a playful double bun, each topped with a small pink pearl hairpin, and small, delicate pearl earrings.

She was beautiful in her own right, and with the pearls, her complexion looked even more radiant and glowing.

Chunlai’s eyes sparkled: “Although Miss was originally beautiful, she is truly different when dressed up.”

“People are judged by their clothes, and horses by their saddles.”

Jiang Ning brushed her bangs and yawned, “We got dressed up so early, what for?”

“Third Young Master arrived home late last night, and he’s now waiting in the front yard.” Chunlai said, “Fifth Daughter and Sixth Miss have already gone over. Miss, let’s go too. The Old Master instructed the Third Young Master to accompany Miss for a little walk.”

Jiang Ning was fond of going out, but what was the point of going out with her current disability?

But she agreed to go, considering her own plans.

All the doctors who came to this mansion unanimously claimed that she was fine, yet the symptoms of vomiting and drowsiness were real.

Something was fishy.

Something was strange.

Jiang Ning’s intuition told her that this was not as simple as it seemed.

Waiting for death was not her style.

She decided to quietly find a doctor on her own to take a look.

When her wheelchair reached the front yard, from afar, she saw Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan buzzing around a young man like two butterflies, chattering away.

The young man in the green robe was indeed extraordinarily handsome, his temperament mirrored Jiang Ruobai.

Jiang Yuan was the first to notice Jiang Ning and immediately smiled, “Third Brother, look, Seventh Sister is here.”

Jiang Yi turned his head to look at her
