无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Refreshing as a spring breeze.

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan, the two sisters, were bubbling with excitement.

“I have to go back and change my clothes!”

“I have to redo my hair!”

The two of them quickly turned back to head home.

Jiang Ning was beaming with joy.

Lin Zizi laughed as she spoke, “Who knew you’d be, of such good temperament. You’ve had a hard life these past few years, yet they’ve had it better than you. Now that you’re back, you still treat them kindly.”

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “We are family and thus will see each other sooner or later. We can’t become enemies.”

“Oh, you’re such a sweet child, you make my heart ache.”

“I’m not as good as you think.”

Jiang Ning was not sure whether if she were the previous host, she would be jealous and resentful of her two sisters. However, she, herself, harbored no such feelings.

After all, she did not personally experience the various hardships that the original host had endured.

Although Jiang Yuan was short-tempered, vain, and sharp-tongued, she was still a good sister who honored her promises. Jiang Yan was a wallflower, timid and weak, but she was genuine towards her family.

She wanted the entire family to live harmoniously and happily.

When they arrived after getting dressed, the carriages were already prepared.

Lin Zizi, along with her three daughters, visited the Wenren residence.

The Wenren family was a well-known clan in Chang’an City, their status was not inferior to the Jiang family.

A feast was held to celebrate Madam Wenren’s birthday, which drew a lively crowd at the entrance.

They thought they would need to wait at the entrance for a while, but as soon as they arrived, a housekeeper ushered them straight to the back courtyard.

Lin Zizi thanked the housekeeper, who replied with a smile: “You flatter me, Madam. It was our Thirteenth Young Master who gave the instruction. And I just carried it out.”

“Thirteenth Young Master?”

Lin Zizi and the sisters looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Yuan clicked her tongue, “No wonder we got in bypassing all those carriages at the front. So, we have to thank Seventh Sister. The Thirteenth Young Master just can’t forget about her, can he? If you ask me, just marry him.”

Jiang Yan replied, “Or is it you who wants to marry him, Fifth Sister?”

“Bah, he’s not interested in me, and I won’t disgrace myself by throwing myself at him.” Jiang Yuan spat out the words, then turned and walked away.

Many young ladies visited that day. Jiang Yuan had some friends, and went to mingle with them.

Jiang Yan didn’t know anyone, so she stayed with Lin Zizi and Jiang Ning.

Lin Zizi’s arrival caused quite a stir among the noble ladies.

Her beauty was renowned in her youth, and in returning to high society after so many years, she naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Although she had aged, her daughters who accompanied her had completely inherited her beauty, which made others envious and jealous.

It was just a pity that one of them was confined to a wheelchair.

A beautiful jade with a flaw always induces some regret.

Madam Wenren personally received them. Holding Lin Zizi’s hand with watery eyes, she said, “Zizi, it’s been so many years. I’m glad you’re finally willing to come out.”

It turned out they were once good friends.

Close friends naturally have a lot to catch up on when they meet.

Jiang Ning didn’t want to join in the gossip, she simply let Xiaoman push her around to take in the sight of the Wenren residence.

Not many people came to talk to her.

Since she publicly thrashed Princess Ling’an in the street and vehemently broke off with Prince Yu, these glorious “accomplishments” made other girls shy away from her.

Initially, Jiang Yan was accompanying her. However, after some time, Jiang Yan had wandered off somewhere to have fun.

There were many noble ladies and young girls in the backyard, and since Jiang Yan also had a maid with her, Jiang Ning did not have to worry about her safety.

“Xiaoman, are you hungry? Let’s go find something to eat,” Jiang Ning said to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman loved two things in life – her lady and food..
