Chapter 9: Chapter 9: I Am Your Father

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Ning sat in the horse carriage, arriving at the notoriously bad second residence of the Jiang Family.

Mother Zhou led a few servants to wait at the side door. Seeing the carriage, she walked forward with an excited expression.

Jiang Ruobai came to the carriage and extended his hand: “Seventh Sister, be careful, let Daddy help you.”

Jiang Ning held the cat and didn’t move: “Uncle, let that aunt come and help me.”

“…Seventh Sister, I’m your father.” Jiang Ruobai was cautious, “That’s Mother Zhou, who works for your mother.”

Jiang Ning had a hard time saying the word “father.”

Moreover, she didn’t know if he was her real father or a godfather.

However, looking at the luxurious mansion in front of her, she thought the original owner must be the real daughter of Jiang Family.

Otherwise, the Jiang Family would not need to bring a lame and lonely girl back home.

“Call me father.” Jiang Ruobai’s eyes were full of stars, looking at her expectantly.

Jiang Ning glanced at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, steeled her heart, and said, “Daddy!”

Jiang Ruobai wondered, what is “Daddy”?

Anyway, Seventh Sister finally called him “father”!

Jiang Ruobai was very excited and let Mother Zhou take the maids to carry her down from the carriage.

“Seventh Sister, Daddy has prepared a courtyard for you, which is very close to your mother’s. But your mother is not feeling well, so let’s settle down first, and you can see her slowly later. Alright?”

The servants couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched Jiang Ruobai fawning over the young girl with great care. Where was the demeanor of the Emperor’s chief steward who managed the country’s finances?

It was simply unbearable to watch.

Jiang Ning nodded her head.

Jiang Ruobai continued, “I’ll go and check on your mother. Mother Zhou, you take Seventh Miss to her room. Seventh Sister, Daddy will come to have dinner with you later.”

Jiang Ning nodded and watched him leave quickly.

Mother Zhou brought over a new wooden wheelchair and helped Jiang Ning sit on it.

Jiang Ning nodded, let Miaomiao lie on her lap, and held the cat’s bowl as Mother Zhou pushed her to her own courtyard.

The Jiang Mansion was huge, with every corner being luxurious and exquisite.

Although Jiang Ning had visited various gardens before, they were all old and couldn’t compare to this grand mansion in front of her.

She looked around curiously, with a heart full of touristic interest.

If only she had a camera in her hand.

Mother Zhou took her to a small courtyard, which wasn’t large but was very beautiful. It had artificial hills, a small pond, and Wisteria-covered pavilions.

The whole courtyard was exquisite and romantic.

Four old women, four maids, and eight little maids stood in a row, saluting her in unison.

“Slave has seen Seventh Miss.”

Jiang Ning was astonished.

Did she, just one person, need so many people to serve her?

However, Mother Zhou looked unsatisfied and guilty: “I didn’t have enough time to prepare properly. Please make do with this, Seventh Miss. In a few days, I will arrange for more suitable maids to serve you.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “This is enough.”

Mother Zhou said, “Chunlai, Qiulai, you two go and boil water for Seventh Miss to bathe and change her clothes. I’ll go and tell the kitchen to prepare the food. Seventh Miss’s body is not well, so you should all take good care of her. Be careful of your skins if you mess up!”

Everyone in the house was curious about the Seventh Miss who had been missing for twelve years.

Chunlai and Xialai were first-class maids in the mansion, assigned by Jiang Ruobai himself.

There were also two maids named Qiulai and Dongxie.

Jiang Ning found this list of names quite interesting.

Especially Dongxie, who was strong enough to lift Jiang Ning by herself.

She didn’t know if Jiang Ruobai intentionally chose her because of Jiang Ning’s leg disability.

Lying in a large carved bathtub full of rose petals, Jiang Ning let out a comfortable sigh.
