After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 292 Exactly the same

"Alright, why say things that would hurt people for no reason?"

Madam Jiang interrupted her father, wiping away her tears. She was also extremely reluctant to part with him, but since the matter was already settled, she didn't say anything more. Seeing that her daughter was leaving today, she slowly spoke again.

"Since you're leaving, why don't you have a meal at home first? Our family can have a good reunion. Besides, you need to prepare your luggage for the trip to the capital. Having a meal won't delay things."

Jiang Yuyue had no reason to refuse such a simple request. She looked at Song Jinglan for his opinion and nodded in agreement after seeing that he also had no objection. "Okay, then let's have dinner before we leave."

After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang immediately ordered people to prepare the meal. Jiang Qimo stared at the people in front of him with some doubt. Although he was still a little wary of Song Jinglan, he felt that the scene in front of him was different from what his mother had said before.

Song Jinglan remained calm and composed, her gaze lightly falling on Jiang Yuyue and Jiang Qimo hiding behind her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Jiang Yuyue felt a little uneasy under his meaningful gaze. Now that she was going to the capital with him, she should at least explain the previous misunderstandings to Mo'er.

So Jiang Yuyue squatted down, gently took Jiang Qimo's small hand, and introduced him softly.

“Mo’er, all those words I said before were lies to you. This man… is your father. He’s not some monster who eats people without spitting out bones, nor is he… cough cough.”

She paused, a hint of embarrassment on her face. It was too embarrassing to say those absurd things in front of Song Jinglan. She gently nudged Jiang Qimo, making him take a step forward, and said softly, "He's here to take us to the capital to live. Be good, Mo'er, call him Daddy."

Although Jiang Qimo's wariness lessened considerably after hearing Jiang Yuyue's words, he still felt somewhat awkward about immediately calling someone he barely knew "father."

Seeing Jiang Qimo with his head down, clutching the hem of his clothes, and remaining hesitant to speak, Song Jinglan wasn't in a hurry. After all, the father and son hadn't spent much time together, so it was understandable that they were becoming estranged.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue pinched her brow helplessly and sighed inwardly.

She had gone too far with her threats, and now things had turned out this way. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have bothered making up those lies in the first place.

Once the meal was ready, the family gathered together for a lively meal. Although the impending separation inevitably brought sadness to everyone, they all tacitly avoided those painful topics.

Song Jinglan was very courteous. Despite his high position, he showed no airs in front of Jiang's parents and was humble and gentle in his words and actions.

Seeing that he was such an easygoing person, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's unease dissipated considerably, and they felt more accepting and at ease with this "son-in-law".

After the meal, Jiang Yuyue's luggage for the trip to the capital was almost ready. Looking at the several carriages outside, Jiang Yuyue rubbed her forehead. She didn't even need to look to know that her parents must have packed her a lot of things again.

"Don't be fooled by the amount of stuff; it's all items you'll need."

Madam Jiang quickly explained, "Although the capital is much wealthier than our Jinling, I'm afraid you won't be used to things from outside. Besides..."

At this point, Madam Jiang lowered her voice even further, "Your parents have prepared several boxes of silver notes for you in the carriage. It will be more convenient to have some money on you wherever you go."

"And Xiaoliu and Moli are people who have been by your side since childhood. You should bring them with you when you go to the capital. Having a few trusted confidants around will make things easier no matter what you do."

Madam Jiang kept talking, her words full of reluctance and concern. Seeing how thoughtful her mother was for her, Jiang Yuyue agreed to accept all the things, even though she felt they were unnecessary, just to put her parents' minds at ease.

Then, Father Jiang pulled her aside and whispered to her, "Yue'er, I don't have anything else to tell you, but I've put that treasure that Prince Ding coveted in our family into your luggage."

"That wooden box has never been opened. It's useless for your parents to keep it at home anyway, so you might as well take it. Who knows, it might come in handy someday."

The wooden box was still not opened?

After so many years, Jiang Yuyue had almost forgotten about this matter. However, it was good that the treasure was entrusted to her for safekeeping. Otherwise, if it were to be targeted by some unknown person, wouldn't that bring disaster to the family?

The Jiang family members gave Jiang Yuyue a long list of instructions, while Song Jinglan, left standing aside, wasn't in a hurry. They lingered at the door for another half an hour before finally getting ready to board the carriage.

Even though Jiang Huanxi had accepted everything as it was, he still felt somewhat uneasy thinking about how much his sister had gone through because of Song Jinglan.

"Sister, go to the capital and live a peaceful life."

Jiang Huanxi said goodbye in a stiff tone, but the warning in his words was undisguised: "Our family also has shops in the capital. I will often go to the capital to check the accounts. If you are not happy, just tell me and I will definitely take you home."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinglan raised an eyebrow and, taking advantage of Jiang Yuyue's way of addressing him, said calmly, "Axi, you don't need to worry so much. This time, when I take your sister away, I will definitely make her forget all about home."

This single sentence elicited a fascinating expression on Jiang Huanxi's face.

Jiang Yuyue sighed softly, unwilling to see the two of them continue to suffer. After saying goodbye to her family again, she instructed the driver to set off.

Meanwhile, the villa in the suburbs had already been prepared by Yueying, Fengling, and the others. As soon as Jiang Yuyue and Song Jinglan's carriage left the city gate, they met up with Jiang Feili, who had been waiting for a long time.

Although Jiang Feili was somewhat surprised that Jiang Yuyue changed her mind so quickly, he was relieved to think that everything could finally get back on track. However, he was still startled when he saw Jiang Qimo's face.

The last time he saw this face was when Jiang Qimo was just born. Now, four years later, the father and son look more and more alike!

No wonder Jiang Yuyue disguised the child; otherwise, anyone who saw the child would have been able to immediately guess who his biological father was.
