The next day.
When Jiang Yueyao woke up, she felt like she was about to freeze solid.
[Ah, how did the heat pack lose its effectiveness so quickly?]
[I’m going to turn into an ice block!]
[Luckily, I bought plenty yesterday and still have some left!]
After quickly replacing the heat packs on her body, Jiang Yueyao was about to check whether the meat cushion man from yesterday had died when she discovered…
“Huh? Where is he?!”
Although she had snow blindness and her vision was blurry, Jiang Yueyao could still tell that such a large person was missing.
[Could he have been dragged away by wolves in the middle of the night?]
[No, no, wolves have standards too. If they were going to drag anyone away, it should be a delicate fairy like me!]
[Ugh, Jiang Yueyao, what are you saying? Is being dragged away by wolves something to be proud of?]
[Wait, if he’s gone, what about my reimbursement, compensation for emotional distress, medical fees, and compensation for ruined mood?]
[Eh, what’s this?]
Jiang Yueyao felt a small bag where the meat cushion man had originally been lying.
Inside was…
[Ahhh, it’s little money, right?!]
[Even though I can’t see clearly, this is definitely the scent of money!]
[Why does it look golden? Could it be gold?!]
Just as Jiang Yueyao was about to bite it to test…
“Sister!”
“Yueyao! Jiang Yueyao!”
“Sixth Miss, where are you?!”
Anxious voices suddenly came from outside the cave.
The Jiang family had finally arrived!
Jiang Yueyao quickly stumbled to the cave entrance and called out loudly.
“I’m here~ here~~ here”
While doing so, she didn’t forget to stuff the money bag into her bosom.
Mine, mine, it’s all mine!
……
……
The Jiang family’s sixth young miss had gone missing.
The Jiang family’s sixth young miss had been found.
The Jiang family’s sixth young miss had lost her eyesight.
The center of attention, Sixth Young Miss Jiang Yueyao, was sitting in a carriage enjoying the attentions of her two maids.
Chunying: “Wuwuwu, Miss, how did you lose your eyesight?… Miss, have some pastry.”
Xiatao: “Wuwuwu, Miss, you’re so unfortunate. You finally waited for the master and mistress to return, but… Miss, have some tea.”
Jiang Yueyao nibbled on pastries and sipped tea happily.
[Is this the legendary joy of being surrounded by beauties?]
[This wicked feudal society, how could it be like this… Hahahaha!]
[Wakaka, this young lady’s hands are so soft, and her voice is so pleasant too. It’s a pity I can’t see, but it doesn’t matter… I still love you!]
Outside the carriage, Jiang Yuehua, who was about to come check Jiang Yueyao’s eyes, paused.
She… seemed to have heard something?
Was it… her sister?
“Yuehua, why did you stop?”
Lady Jiang, Zhou Qiongying, looked strangely at her daughter who had suddenly stopped, then suddenly understood and felt guilty.
“Yuehua, your father and I took you all to the border for over ten years, leaving only your younger sister alone in the capital. It’s only natural that she feels awkward or even resentful toward us. You should be more understanding of your sister.”
Eighteen years ago, the feudal lords rebelled, throwing the world into chaos.
Their Jiang family had chosen the right side, not only preserving their family during the troubled times but also earning their current military achievements.
It was just unfortunate…
During these years of campaigning abroad and guarding the border, they had most of their children with them, but Yueyao had been left in the capital since childhood due to her poor health.Over the years, they had only met a few times during visits to the capital, so it was no wonder Jiang Yueyao wasn’t close to them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qiongying felt deeply upset and guilty.
Jiang Yuehua: “…”
Uh, Mother, aren’t you overthinking this?
Just as she was about to speak, the voice sounded again.
[Ahhh, this dried fruit tastes amazing!]
[As expected, fruits from a pure, unpolluted environment are truly delicious.]
[ (Transmigration) isn’t entirely without its perks after all.]
[Though there’s beauty in subtlety, it’s so frustrating to only touch without seeing.]
[Luckily, my snow blindness isn’t severe and should heal on its own after a few days of rest.]
[But if my miracle doctor sister came to give me a couple of acupuncture sessions, I might recover in no time.]
[Wuwuwu, my sister, why aren’t you here yet? Come quickly so I can see the legendary (female lead)!]
Jiang Yuehua: “…”
“Mother, did you hear any voices?”
Zhou Qiongying looked at her strangely. “What voices? I didn’t hear anything.”
Jiang Yuehua: “…”
But she had clearly heard it.
Moreover, based on the content, she could basically determine that the voice belonged to her younger sister, Jiang Yueyao.
Could it be…
This was her sister’s inner voice?
And only she could hear it?
And… her sister didn’t seem to dislike her?
She seemed… quite looking forward to her visit?
Jiang Yuehua felt delighted inside.
She had thought her sister truly resented them as their mother said, but unexpectedly… her sister was this adorable.
As for those few strange, blurred parts, Jiang Yuehua had already ignored them.
Jiang Yuehua followed Zhou Qiongying into Jiang Yueyao’s carriage and explained their purpose.
[What, my sister is here?!]
[Wuwuwu, my sister, forgive me for not being able to see your peerless beauty.]
[Why did I have to get snow blindness right at this time?]
[Wait, this is my first meeting with ** (female lead), shouldn’t I act more dignified?]
[They say a good start is half the battle—am I about to succeed right away?]
Jiang Yueyao’s current body was fifteen years old, but due to poor health since childhood and… in short, she appeared very thin and delicate, as if a gust of wind could knock her over, making her look younger than her actual age.
At this moment, the small child was trying hard to sit up straight and appear dignified and virtuous, but it looked like a child playing dress-up in adult clothes, creating a sense of incongruity.
Seeing Jiang Yueyao like this, Zhou Qiongying nearly shed tears.
Wuwuwu, it was all her fault for not giving her daughter a healthy body.
Jiang Yuehua found it somewhat amusing.
This younger sister… had so many inner thoughts, so dense, and so cute.
But hadn’t they already met at the post station?
Why did her sister say it was their first meeting?
Never mind, her sister was this adorable—whatever she said was right.
“Yueyao, your sister will be very gentle.”
Jiang Yuehua took out her silver needles, preparing to perform acupuncture on Jiang Yueyao.
And then…
[Come on, sister, don’t pity this delicate flower—please ravage me to your heart’s content~~]
Jiang Yuehua: “…”
The silver needle in her hand nearly poked right into Jiang Yueyao’s eyeball.
Her sister was cute, no doubt, but her choice of words…
It must be that Auntie had treated Yueyao poorly and failed to educate her properly.
At this moment, Jiang Yuehua had unconditionally taken her sister’s side and already labeled the yet-unmet Auntie as the villain!
Hmph, it was all her fault for corrupting her sister!
