Chapter 563 Ignore Her
Jiang Mubai didn't have to wait long before Chen Qingyu came up to look for someone.
There was a knock on Jiang Mubai's door. She knew someone was calling her to go downstairs for dinner. Jiang Mubai thought it was Jiang An calling her, but when she opened the door, she found that the person standing at the door was Chen Qingyu.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Qingyu immediately greeted him warmly: "Mu Bai, have you rested well? Our kitchen is ready, come down with me to eat. If you haven't rested well, you can come up to rest after you finish eating. There is no rush for the worship. Since you are already here, I can take you to the ancestral hall any day."
"Don't worry, aunt. I've had a good rest. My father brought me back today to pay homage to my ancestors. I dare not delay this matter. Besides, if I miss such a good day today, I will have to wait a long time. Paying homage is a big deal and it cannot be put on hold because of my problem. Besides, I don't feel unwell, so the worship should proceed as planned."
"Okay, you are sensible. After dinner, I will ask the servants to prepare these things. Let's go downstairs to eat."
Jiang Mubai was taken by Chen Qingyu to the restaurant downstairs for dinner. Jiang Mubai didn't know the current situation of the Jiang family, so when she saw that there were only Jiang Ping's family of three and Jiang An and herself at the dinner table, she didn't ask too much but found a seat and sat down.
They started eating. Jiang Mubai thought Chen Qingyu would be quiet for a while during the meal, but Jiang Mubai still underestimated her enthusiasm.
"Mu Bai, this is the soup I asked the kitchen to make for you. You should drink some. Look how thin you have become. Ah An is really a fool. Why didn't he ask people to give you more nutrition? Now that you are pregnant, you can't ignore the child for the sake of beauty and figure like before. Now that you are back, I will take good care of your body and keep an eye on you. I promise to make you plump and white."
"Thank you, auntie. I had severe morning sickness and lost a lot of weight. It wasn't that I didn't eat on purpose, but I vomited everything I ate and couldn't absorb any nutrients."
"I see. How is your morning sickness now? Is it getting better?"
"Don't worry, auntie, morning sickness is much better than before."
"That's good. I'll serve you this soup and leave it here to cool. Remember to drink it later because it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
"Just help yourself to the dishes you want to eat. Don't be shy. We are a family now, so don't be so formal with us."
Before Jiang Mubai could say yes, Jiang Ping couldn't stand Chen Qingyu's enthusiasm, so he said to stop her: "You should just let Mubai eat his meal. He keeps chattering and won't let him eat in peace."
"It's okay. My aunt is taking care of me. She's so enthusiastic because she's afraid that I'll feel embarrassed."
Seeing that his family had spoken, Chen Qingyu naturally would not continue like this.
"Okay, Mu Bai, just remember to pick up some food and eat it. I won't disturb you while you eat."
After the meal, Jiang Mubai thought about the memorial service in the afternoon and did not go back to her room. She had rested enough in the morning, and there was nothing tiring about eating, so she simply did not go upstairs.
The brothers Jiang Ping and Jiang An were also discussing something in the living room. Jiang Mubai overheard and knew that they were talking about going to the ancestral temple to worship.
Jiang Mubai was not interested in this. On the surface, she seemed to be going back to the old house with Jiang An to recognize her ancestors, but in Jiang Mubai's heart, she was very reluctant. A family like the Jiang family was a cage for Jiang Mubai, and Jiang Mubai did not want to be locked up in it and lose his freedom.
Jiang Mubai didn't want to get involved in this topic so he just stayed away. Jiang Jinglan was also sitting on the sofa. Jiang Mubai had no interest in getting to know this nominal sister so he didn't want to talk to her. Chen Qingyu hadn't been seen since she left the table. Jiang Mubai was afraid that she would come back and talk to him nonstop so he made an excuse to go for a walk in the yard.
It just so happened that she was quite interested in the ancient garden buildings in the Jiang family's old house, so she planned to take advantage of her free time now to go and take a look and familiarize herself with the environment.
The gardens are very well designed, which shows that the Jiang family really spent a lot of money to hire someone to design them. In Jiang Mubai's opinion, these gardens are as good as any other design anywhere, and even reach the level of one scene every ten steps.
The garden covers a large area, and Jiang Mubai cannot walk through the whole area by herself. She also did not expect to walk through all of it in one breath. Since she had no plan in mind, she walked casually.
She just goes wherever she thinks is beautiful. There are many koi in the pond, and fish food is placed on the bridge for passers-by to feed the koi.
Jiang Mubai found it very interesting so she stopped beside the pond and watched. She didn't know if the koi in the pond had been fed before, so Jiang Mubai didn't dare to feed them randomly, otherwise it would be bad if the koi were fed to death.
In the distance, there were servants from the Jiang family following Jiang Mubai. Jiang Mubai guessed that someone might be worried that she might get into an accident alone in the garden, so that's why they sent someone to follow her.
The servants in the old house were all well-trained. They only followed Jiang Mubai from a distance to make sure she was within their sight instead of following closely beside her. This distance was very comfortable and Jiang Mubai felt at ease. She did not feel like she was being watched.
Jiang Jinglan watched Jiang Mubai leave the living room and come outside, and then she quietly followed him. She wanted to see what Jiang Mubai was going to do in the yard.
After following him secretly for a while and finding out that Jiang Mubai was just out for a walk and not doing anything, Jiang Jinglan didn't bother to pretend anymore and walked out directly to talk to Jiang Mubai.
The people who were protecting Jiang Mubai were sent away by Jiang Jinglan. "You guys can go and do your work somewhere else. Don't worry, I'm here to watch over you."
The servants in the old house all knew Jiang Jinglan's temper, so after hearing her instructions they did not dare to talk back and could only obediently go wait somewhere else.
Jiang Mubai was originally looking at the koi quietly, but the sound of footsteps behind her made her look back, curious about who was following her.
When Jiang Mubai saw that the person coming was Jiang Jinglan, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Jiang Jinglan saw the expression on Jiang Mubai's face and said unhappily, "What's the meaning of that expression? What? You didn't expect it was me, so you thought it was your uncle?"
Jiang Mubai didn't understand why Jiang Jinglan was so angry. If she was unhappy, why would she be angry at herself? Jiang Mubai thought that she had not provoked Jiang Jinglan, so after seeing Jiang Jinglan's current attitude, she was too lazy to talk to her.
Jiang Mubai didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Jinglan, and even wanted to move away from the pool and stay away from Jiang Jinglan. She didn't want to stay with Jiang Jinglan for fear that Jiang Jinglan would ruin her good mood.
Seeing Jiang Mubai was about to leave, Jiang Jinglan stopped him.
"It's rude of you not to answer my question, but why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you afraid that your fox tail will be exposed if you stay with me for too long?"
Jiang Mubai didn't expect Jiang Jinglan to speak so impolitely. When they met in the morning, she felt that she and Jiang Jinglan were not the same kind of people.
