Looking at Jiang Shu's flying figure, Jiang Wan could only smile bitterly in her heart.

She raised her head to look at the bright blue light that was stuck between the canopy of the umbrella and the eaves of the Jun Yating Hall. She didn't know when she would have the opportunity to walk out of this shackle.

The current Jiang Wan was completely unable to sense where she was going: The Qin family wholeheartedly wanted to send her into the Crown Prince's Palace, constantly weakening her sense of existence in front of her relatives and friends. Without the Qin family's support, she would not have been able to leave the Jiang manor, let alone come into contact with the people outside.

Thinking of that, Jiang Wan started to have a headache.

Perhaps he could consider packing up some gold and silver before sneaking out?

However, she immediately rejected this ridiculous idea. In this era, a girl without a family to depend on was like a blade of grass. If someone accidentally kidnapped her and sold her to a place like a alley of fireworks, then her life would truly be over.

Jiang Wan naturally fell behind Jiang Shu as she thought about all this along the way. When she lifted the plywood curtain and entered Jun Yutang, she saw that Jiang Shu was currently in the Qin family's arms, hugging her neck as she whispered into her ear.

It was unknown what Jiang Shu had said to the Qin family. The Qin family laughed heartily, and anyone who saw it would know that they were in a very good mood.

Jiang Wan obediently walked up to the Qin family and paid her respects. Then, very obediently, she said, "My regards to mother."

The Qin family happily nodded their heads, and a vigilant young maid brought over a gold plate. Jiang Wan carefully sat down.

"I called you here today because I have something to tell you." The Qin family fiddled with Jiang Shu who was laying on top of them like a monkey, let her sit beside them, and then rubbed her hands, "The fifteenth anniversary of this month is the birthday of Old Lady Li from Cat's Ear Lane. Two days ago, your second aunt had instructed me to bring the two of you with me to have some fun. "

Jiang Zhuzhe could not contain his joy at hearing this and becoming a guest at Cat's Ear Lane again.

Jiang Wan noticed that née Qin said "bring you two along", which meant that this time she planned to bring her along.

There's only one thing I need to let you know first, "née Qin calmly glanced at Jiang Wan, then looked at Jiang Shu, before continuing," Your second uncle is currently an elder of the imperial court, a Grand Scholar of the Wen Yuan Pavilion. That day, there will definitely be people coming to join in on your second uncle's name, and many of them will definitely be the madams of noble families.

"I know!" Jiang Zhuzhe coquettishly coiled around née Qin's arm, while Jiang Wan obediently nodded her head.

Seeing that, the Qin family nodded their heads in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Wan. Their eyes shifted, "Old Lady Li from Cat's Ear Lane loves Buddha. Why don't you help her copy a scroll of scripture? It can be counted as your filial piety."

Copy a book of scriptures?

Jiang Wan felt her face twitch.

Just a moment ago, she was surprised that née Qin would suddenly have the kindness to bring her to her second uncle's house. Now, this meeting had given her a problem.

It was less than ten days to the old mistress' birthday.

As for the Buddhist thirteen scriptures, regardless of which scroll it was copied, it would take at least half a year before it was completed.

Did the Qin family intentionally make things difficult for her by saying this, or did she have no idea how big the project was?

But if he refused her just like that, wouldn't she have an excuse to not bring him to Cat's Ear Lane?

Jiang Wan sat there, frowning slightly without saying a word. She really had to think over whether she could accept this mission or not.

"Sister Wan'er?" The Qin family then brought out her Bodhisattva face. Although her face looked kind and kind, it caused chills to run through everyone's body. "But what's wrong with it?"

Jiang Zhuzhe, on the other hand, looked as if he was watching a good show as he rolled his eyes over Jiang Wan's body. There was a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.

"In reply to mother's words," Jiang Wan still decided to be a bit more tactful, "I was only thinking just now which scripture would I copy in less than ten days. That way, we wouldn't forget about mother's matter, and at the same time, we would be able to show our filial piety as juniors."

"I bet it's the Corrugated Scripture or the Fa Hua Scripture," Jiang Zhuzhe said innocently while standing next to Qin Shi. "I've often heard people mention these two scriptures, so they must be very good."

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Wan laughed coldly in her heart. "This Jiang Zhuzhe wants to watch me make a fool of myself, right?"

In her previous life, when she was Grand Concubine, in order to pass the time, she often copied Buddhist scriptures. What she remembered the most was that she copied that book, the Vatican Scripture, for a whole year.

"It's good, it's good. No matter which of these two scriptures it is, it's impossible to finish them in half a year." Jiang Wan had a troubled expression on her face, "Since it's Madame Li's birthday, why don't we copy a volume of the 'Immeasurable Longevity Scripture'?" "If it's just me, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it. If it's fifth sister, she can help me share half of it …"

Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Shu who was slouched on the large brick bed and said with a smile, "We'll sleep early in the night. We might be able to finish in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhuzhe stared at Jiang Wan with wide eyes. Just as he was about to protest, he heard née Qin say, "This idea is not bad, it's still reasonable for you two sisters to make a scroll of the scripture for Old Lady Li's birthday present. It's better than having both hands empty.

Hearing the words of the Qin family, Jiang Wan finally understood.

It turned out that she wasn't the only one feeling pained by Jiang Zhuzhe's bracelet, but the Qin family couldn't constantly talk about it like Jiang Shu had.

"But mother …" Jiang Shu immediately sat up and shook Qin Shi's arm in a spoiled manner, "I don't want to copy the Buddhist scriptures. I don't even understand the content on it. How do you want me to copy it?"

"Fifth sister, that's not how you say it." When Jiang Wan saw Jiang Shu's unwilling look, she was secretly pleased in her heart, "We have to do our best for Madame Li's birthday. Moreover, this scripture is only to pray for ourselves and our families, if my sister feels that half of it is too much, I might as well copy 60% and you the other 40% …" "If there's more, I won't be able to help you share the burden …"

"Sister Wan'er is right!" This time, for the first time ever, the Qin did not stand on Jiang Shu's side. Instead, they nodded their heads in approval at Jiang Wan, "It's settled then. The two of you sisters will split up and from tomorrow on, you don't need to come and greet me. It's more important to copy out that < Endless Longevity Scripture > as soon as possible."

Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Shu with a smile that wasn't a smile before standing up from the Agarwood and blessing the Qin family. "If mother doesn't have any other instructions, I want to head back early and talk to the people in my room. After all, there's no time for us to waste here right now."
