When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 4

Xie Xiao was disappointed, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why can’t you do it?”

“You look so good, your personality is so gentle, and there is a marriage contract set by the elders, you are simply Ji Xu’an’s destined good wife!”

“Ji Xu’an marrying you is all the blessing she has accumulated in her eight lifetimes!”

“You marrying her is called a female Bodhisattva selflessly dedicating herself to save her, a ten-thousand-year single dog!”

“No matter how you think about it, Ji Xu’an is the one who made a profit, what else is she not satisfied with?”

Xie Xiao spoke very enthusiastically, but Jiang Jiang was not moved by her. She just looked at Xie Xiao hesitantly, and after Xie Xiao stopped talking, she said softly, “But Xiao Xiao, in my eyes, Ji Xu’an and Princess Huaining are no different.”

Xie Xiao suddenly went silent.

What did Jiang Jiang regard Princess Huaining as?

As her sister-in-law, as her elder sister.

Okay then.

Xie Xiao was listless, “As long as you don’t suffer.”

Jiang Jiang’s heart warmed, “Don’t worry, Ji Xu’an is quite easy to get along with. She is just a little cold, but she provides me with food and clothing, and lets me live in her house. I am the one who took advantage of her.”

Xie Xiao felt that Ji Xu’an’s attitude was too arrogant because she was partial to Jiang Jiang, but Jiang Jiang was right, Ji Xu’an didn’t do anything too much, and she shouldn’t hate Ji Xu’an too much.

Xie Xiao bit her lip, “Then I won’t say bad things about her.”

Jiang Jiang immediately praised her, “Xiao Xiao is really a kind and good child.”

“What are you talking about.” Xie Xiao’s face turned red with embarrassment, “I’m not a child anymore.”

Jiang Jiang tapped the mirror surface with her fingertips, pretending to touch Xie Xiao’s head in this way, “Okay, don’t think so much, it’s still early, you should sleep more.”

Xie Xiao: “You too, rest well!”

After the two said good night to each other, they finally cut off their connection.

The smile on Jiang Jiang’s face slowly fell. She couldn’t sleep yet. After being out of the quilt for too long, her hands and feet became icy and numb, as if she had lost consciousness.

Jiang Jiang rubbed her stiff cheeks, re-hid the white jade exquisite mirror, and then returned to the quilt, wrapping herself tightly, as if she could gain enough security in this way.

She had to think clearly as soon as possible how to deal with the upcoming plot.

Would Ji Xu’an be the key to change the plot?

…

Jiang Jiang got up early the next morning.

She vaguely felt that her nose was a little blocked, probably because she accidentally caught a cold last night, but it wasn’t a big problem, so Jiang Jiang didn’t take it seriously.

She was wearing the clothes that Ji Xu’an had prepared for her today, a beige waist-length dress with the skirt falling to her calves, paired with bright-colored small leather shoes.

Because Jiang Jiang had pierced ears, the jewelry that Ji Xu’an had people prepare included not only necklaces, but also several pairs of earrings.

Jiang Jiang obediently accepted Ji Xu’an’s arrangement. She wasn’t very good at using cosmetics, so she only simply outlined her eyebrows and applied a light lip gloss to make her complexion look better.

Fortunately, she was young, her skin was fair, and her skin texture was also very delicate, so even if she didn’t apply any foundation, it wouldn’t be out of place.

After Jiang Jiang tidied up, she opened the door and went downstairs.

She thought she was the first to arrive, but she didn’t expect Ji Xu’an to be waiting for her at the dining table. Jiang Jiang realized her rudeness and secretly decided in her heart that she would have to get up even earlier in the future.

Ji Xu’an didn’t sleep well last night, and her head was still a little dizzy when she got up in the morning, but it didn’t affect her thinking.

She watched Jiang Jiang walk to sit opposite her with a cold expression. After the person sat down, Ji Xu’an pushed a square white paper box over.

Jiang Jiang:?

“What is this?”

Ji Xu’an motioned her to open it and see.

Jiang Jiang opened the paper box, and inside was a black block-shaped object, which looked familiar. Jiang Jiang had seen others use it before.

She looked at Ji Xu’an with a puzzled face.

Ji Xu’an very lightly hooked the corners of her lips, with no smile in her eyes, her tone containing a hint of sarcasm, “Didn’t you say your phone was broken? I had Secretary Zhao buy the latest model, don’t lose it again.”

Obviously, she still thought that Jiang Jiang was deliberately saying that she didn’t have a mobile phone.

Jiang Jiang suddenly realized, so this was a mobile phone!

She had only seen others use it, and didn’t know the name of this thing at all.

Thinking that Chu Yueqi said that this thing was very important to modern people, Jiang Jiang nodded solemnly, “Thank you, I will keep it safe.”

Ji Xu’an didn’t say anything more, and lowered her head to drink the lean meat porridge in front of her.

She didn’t know whether Xie Xiao was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. From the simple contact from last night to this morning, the other party didn’t seem to be a troublemaker.

Even if she repeatedly probed and satirized, Xie Xiao was still calm and composed, without even a trace of grievance or anger on her face.

But as the saying goes, time will reveal a person’s heart, and the fox will always show its tail one day.

Ji Xu’an wasn’t in a hurry.

……

Jiang Jiang didn’t know how to use a mobile phone yet, and in front of Ji Xu’an, she didn’t have the heart to play with it.

Seeing that Ji Xu’an didn’t intend to speak again, Jiang Jiang also lowered her head and silently ate her breakfast, her movements light and elegant, without making a sound.

Before coming, she had thought it all out. Except for the expenses on food and accommodation, Jiang Jiang didn’t plan to spend Ji Xu’an’s money anymore.

But at that time, Jiang Jiang didn’t expect that Ji Xu’an had a strong personality that didn’t allow people to refute, and she had no right to refuse at all.

Moreover, Jiang Jiang originally thought that Ji Xu’an wouldn’t pay much attention to her, but she didn’t expect that although the other party didn’t like her very much, she was very attentive to her affairs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but raise her eyes to secretly look at Ji Xu’an, her eyes revealing tangled emotions.

Which of the things she was wearing wasn’t bought with Ji Xu’an’s money?

If she proposed at this time that she wanted to pay for the mobile phone herself, Ji Xu’an would probably only think she was very hypocritical.

Jiang Jiang thought about it, and decided to reciprocate and also give Ji Xu’an a gift.

However, she didn’t have much money on her, and besides, Ji Xu’an probably didn’t lack valuable items, so this gift was still mainly about the intention.

If it were in the past, she could still embroider a sachet and give it to Ji Xu’an, but people here don’t seem to have the habit of wearing sachets…

Jiang Jiang was thinking to herself, when Ji Xu’an on the opposite side had put down her spoon, gently wiped the corners of her mouth, and got up and said, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Jiang stopped thinking and stood up to follow.

…

Old Mrs. Ji knew that Ji Xu’an was going to bring Jiang Jiang over today, so she urged Xiao Chen to help her dress up early in the morning, her hair combed neatly, looking particularly energetic.

The person hadn’t arrived yet, and the old lady was both nervous and expectant in her heart. She looked in the mirror several times and couldn’t help but ask Xiao Chen again, “Do you think this outfit of mine today is okay?”

Could it leave a good impression on the little girl?

Xiao Chen gave her a thumbs up, “Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be fine!”

Old Mrs. Ji was satisfied, thought about it, and sighed, “The last time I saw Xiao Xiao, that child was only a few years old, lively and cute, her brain was particularly smart, and her mouth was also sweet.”

Such a well-behaved child, but she has a bumpy life experience.

Old Mrs. Ji promised her friend that she would take care of her only granddaughter. Even if Xu’an and Xiao Xiao didn’t end up together, she would still treat Xie Xiao as her own granddaughter.

Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen immediately smiled and echoed, “Miss Xiao Xiao has you and President Ji to take care of her, her grandmother will be relieved if she knows in the afterlife.”

Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Ji couldn’t help but worry again. Xu’an only had resistance and dissatisfaction with this marriage. She had unhappiness in her heart, could she really be good to Xiao Xiao?

Just as she was thinking, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up, “It seems like someone is here, it should be President Ji.”

Just as she finished speaking, two overlapping footsteps came from the doorway.

Old Mrs. Ji craned her neck to look, and it was indeed Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang who walked in one after the other.

Xiao Chen tactfully left, and Ji Xu’an sat down on the sofa in the living room on her own, and she asked knowingly, “Grandma seems to be in good spirits today? It seems that Xiao Chen is taking good care of you.”

Old Mrs. Ji glared at her, and then focused her attention on Jiang Jiang. She had a kind smile on her face, and reached out to beckon Jiang Jiang to sit next to her.

“Xiao Xiao, Grandma has been waiting and waiting, and finally waited for you!”

Jiang Jiang’s hand was held by Old Mrs. Ji, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red when she heard the words. She stared deeply at Old Mrs. Ji’s smiling eyes, and then couldn’t help but throw herself into Old Mrs. Ji’s arms, “Grandma!”

Old Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment, and then quickly hugged her, patting Jiang Jiang’s thin back, her eyes also turned red.

“Don’t be afraid, Grandma is here, no one dares to bully you.”

Ji Xu’an, who was vaguely left aside, snorted softly. These two people looked like they had a deep relationship between grandmother and granddaughter, but it made her seem like an unforgivable villain.

Ji Xu’an admitted that she looked down on Xie Xiao, but she didn’t deliberately bully Xie Xiao.

She knew that Xie Xiao had no good intentions. She was still pretending to be well-behaved and obedient just now, but turned around and badmouthed her in front of her grandmother.

Ji Xu’an watched this scene with cold eyes, and when her eyes fell on Jiang Jiang’s slightly trembling body from crying, the disgust and ridicule in her eyes became more obvious.

If Xie Xiao wanted to use this clumsy method to alienate her and her grandmother, she would underestimate her too much.

Just as Ji Xu’an was wondering how to teach Jiang Jiang a lesson so that she could recognize her identity, Jiang Jiang finally woke up from her gaffe.

She quickly realized that her attitude had made Old Mrs. Ji misunderstand something, and quickly explained, “Grandma, with you and Ji…”

Jiang Jiang paused, and changed to a more intimate title, “…Sister Xu’an is here, no one dares to bully me, it’s because when I see you, I think of my grandmother.”

Old Mrs. Ji thought to herself that Xu’an was a sensible person, and she would never regret what she had promised. In terms of reason and emotion, she would not bully Xie Xiao.

Thinking that her friend had only left for two months, it was normal that Xiao Xiao hadn’t yet gotten over her grief, Old Mrs. Ji felt even more sorry for her when she looked at Jiang Jiang’s slightly pale face.

“Good child, since Xun Chun entrusted you to me, you should treat me as your own grandmother, and I will love you together with as much as she does.” She said as she patted the back of Jiang Jiang’s hand.

When Jiang Jiang heard these words, her heart felt a little sour again. In fact, what she said just now was not a lie. She did think of another person who was very good to her through Old Mrs. Ji, but it was not Fang Xun Chun as Old Mrs. Ji thought, but the Empress Dowager who existed in another world.

Before coming, Jiang Jiang had not thought about it. Since Ji Xu’an and Ji Heyuan look like Princess Huaining and the Crown Prince, then Old Mrs. Ji and the Empress Dowager might also be the same person.

It was just that guessing was one thing, and seeing it with her own eyes was another. Thinking of the Empress Dowager’s love and protection for her, Jiang Jiang felt even more sad.

She was afraid of being noticed by Ji Xu’an, so she simply lowered her head. In her teary eyes, Jiang Jiang’s mind flashed back to her past memories.

Outsiders only knew that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s mansion with a noble status, but few people knew that because she was weak since birth, Jiang Jiang was sent away from a young age and had been raised outside until she was ten years old before being brought back to the Duke’s mansion.

Her father didn’t love her and her mother didn’t care for her. She, the legitimate daughter, lived worse than the illegitimate daughters.

Fortunately, there was that marriage contract. She was the Crown Prince’s unmarried fiancée, and the people in the Duke’s mansion didn’t dare to underestimate her too much. She had everything that a legitimate daughter should have, as for the rest, she didn’t need to expect it.

The Emperor made her the Crown Princess to win over and appease the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion. The Crown Prince had no feelings for her, and the two had not even met a few times.

The Empress Dowager in the palace heard about her experience, so she took her into the palace for a short stay of two months. In those two months, Jiang Jiang finally felt the love and care from her elders.

She treated the Empress Dowager as her own grandmother to be filial to, but unfortunately, she and the Crown Prince had not yet completed their marriage. Even if Jiang Jiang was reluctant, she could not stay in the palace for a long time, and finally had to return to the Duke’s mansion.

She originally thought that the days were still long, and she had enough time to serve the Empress Dowager, but she didn’t expect…

Jiang Jiang’s heart was heavy, and all the emotions that she had suppressed in the deepest part of her heart, and dared not easily touch, surged up at this time.

She couldn’t help but hold Old Mrs. Ji’s hands tightly, thinking that in the novel with Ji Heyuan and Zheng Zhouzhou as the protagonists, Old Mrs. Ji seemed to only live in other people’s mouths. After the two were together, Ji Heyuan even took Zheng Zhouzhou to sweep Old Mrs. Ji’s grave.

In the story, Ji Heyuan and Zheng Zhouzhou officially started dating at the end of this year, which meant that Old Mrs. Ji probably only had this year or two left…

Looking up at Old Mrs. Ji’s kind face, which was exactly the same as the Empress Dowager’s, Jiang Jiang felt even more sad, and the desire to change the plot became more and more urgent, even to the point of achieving her wish at all costs.

Jiang Jiang bit her lip hard, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Ji Xu’an, who was beside her. She was shuddered by the coldness in the other’s eyes, and her eyes quickly became firm again.

Perhaps, what Xiao Xiao said last night also made some sense.

Although Jiang Jiang shook her head and refused at the time, she had considered it privately…

“Grandma.” Jiang Jiang took a deep breath secretly, “Sister Xu’an has told me that she will marry me.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Xu’an half shyly and half timidly, and then quickly lowered her eyelashes.

Jiang Jiang’s eyes were still hanging with tears, and the wet red in her eyes was endearing. Between lowering her eyebrows and nodding her head, she seemed to carry endless affection.

Old Mrs. Ji also looked at Ji Xu’an, “Xu’an is also a good child, you get along well, and you can always live a harmonious and beautiful life.”

Jiang Jiang nodded obediently, “Grandma, don’t worry, Sister Xu’an is very good to me, and I like her very much too.”

This was the first time Jiang Jiang had boldly expressed her feelings to others. She didn’t dare to look at Ji Xu’an’s expression, for fear that when she saw the disgust in the other’s eyes, she would retreat because of fear.

Ji Xu’an didn’t speak from beginning to end, but only scrutinized Jiang Jiang with unfathomable eyes. Even when she heard Jiang Jiang say that she liked her, Ji Xu’an’s expression didn’t change at all.

Jiang Jiang looked up, Ji Xu’an hooked the corners of her lips at her, she couldn’t see what Ji Xu’an was thinking, but she could feel that the other person’s mood was not very good.

Jiang Jiang tightened her fingertips and listened quietly to Old Mrs. Ji’s instructions.

They stayed in the nursing home for about an hour. Before leaving, Old Mrs. Ji handed the gift she had prepared to Jiang Jiang, “Xiao Xiao, Xu’an’s temper is not good, and she may not speak nicely, but her heart is not bad, you will know more if you have more contact.”

Jiang Jiang nodded vigorously, “I know, Grandma.”

Ji Xu’an looked down at her watch, “Let’s go.”

They walked out of the gate in the old lady’s reluctant gaze. Blown by the wind outside, Jiang Jiang felt that her eyes were a little dry and painful. She blinked hard, but unexpectedly squeezed out two more tears.

Before Jiang Jiang could reach out to wipe away the tears, Ji Xu’an, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped.

Jiang Jiang looked over in confusion, “What…”

Her words were interrupted impatiently by Ji Xu’an.

“Okay, stop pretending.”
