The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 31: A Battle At The Doorstep

From the horse carriage, a maidservant assisted her as the rumoured di daughter of the Jiang family finally appeared before the crowd.

However, they saw a girl who was at the spring of youth, wearing plain cotton clothing and a chasteberry wood hairpin. Wearing a worn dark-green coloured cotton-padded jacket that was laden with water caltrop patterns, she had paired it with a light grey coarse cloth skirt. Long tresses were loosely pulled up in a bun with a simple wooden hairpin and two locks of hair had curled by her ears. In contrast with her inky black hair, those dainty and delicate ears that were like white jade, it made one shift their gaze in her direction and widen their eyes to look upon her.

As she slowly raised her head, she revealed a delicate goose-egg shaped face. Jiang Nancy's skin was already very fair, however, this girl's skin was even fairer than Jiang Nancy's, so much so that it seemed to appear as moist and clear as water. Perhaps due to being travel-worn, there were faint traces of a powdery-red flush on her cheeks. As the pair of eyes filled with glossy lustre lightly surveyed her surroundings, the rise on the corner of her eyes seemed to bring out a faintly discernible charm which caused the people around her to only have eyes for her. Jiang Nancy's dressing was outstanding and made her appear to be incomparably elegant and refined. In comparison, this girl's dressing was old and worn, however, it still made her appear to be extremely beautiful and gorgeous. It made people unable to help but surmise that if she were to change into brightly coloured clothing, who knew how splendid of an appearance she would have.

Generally speaking, the more beautiful and gorgeous a girl's looks were, the more likely it was for her appearance to seem gaudy and vulgar. In general, only a style like Jiang Nancy's, that was elegant and refined, would remain stunning for a long time. Yet, this girl that was wearing plain cotton clothing and a chasteberry hairpin, had extremely beautiful and gorgeous facial features which made her look gentle and reserved. It made her exude an indescribable sense of steadiness that though she had weathered through many hard years that were not insignificant, they were still tinted with steady and beautiful colour. Although she was still young, there was a kind of magnificence and maturity to her conduct.

As she walked steadily towards the Jiang fu's entrance, people with good eyesight noticed that her skirt did not seem to move a single jot. Looking at the girl walking forward once more, they noticed her back was ramrod straight as she walked step by step and one could not find any flaw in her at all. Initially, they had assumed that the Jiang family's di daughter, who lived in the countryside residence without any instruction, would inevitably be unable to conduct herself well under public scrutiny. Nonetheless, it seemed that this girl was not only noble and righteous, she also had an excellent upbringing and an outstanding appearance that could actually keep pace with the Jiang family's second daughter Jiang Su Su.

Xia Yan hurriedly went over, swiftly stood before Jiang Lisa and carefully did a once-over of her. Then, she took her hand and spoke gently, "Good child, you have suffered."

Jiang Lisa looked at her with a smile on her face, and Xia Yan had tears in her eyes and her gaze was filled with sincerity. If she had not learned a lesson from her past life, Jiang Lisa herself would have nearly been convinced that the other person was treating her sincerely. However, she still lightly remarked, "Jiang Lisa is unfilial and caused mother to be concerned."

At this moment, Jiang Nancy walked forward as well and with a slant of her head, she sized Jiang Lisa up for a while and laughed, "Jiejie has finally returned home. A few days ago, Mother kept talking about jiejie's return, and now that we have finally seen you in person, Mother can finally relax too."

Smiling, Jiang Lisa directed her gaze towards her. Comparing with her memories, Jiang Nancy had remained unchanged. Elegant and exquisite with no flaws, she appeared as innocent and sincere as if she was an otherworldly fairy that was unfamiliar with the ways of the world; as if it was only natural for her to be carefree and without worries. The birthmark below her eye was as vivid as before, yet who knew if it was this resplendently red because of her inhaling the fresh blood of the Zhao family.(Disregarding the over the top language, it means that she played a major role in conspiring against the Zhao family, i.e., JL's maternal family)
