?Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Mrs. Jiang Chapter 236: Chapter 235 Mrs. Jiang It took around half an hour to reach The Chens’ Mansion. Unlike in the previous dynasties in history, where the governor’s office was at the front and the governor’s family lived at the back, here, the official office and the mansion were completely separate entities.

Chen Shiying immediately took Chen Afu to a courtyard in the Inner Courtyard. A few lanterns were hanging under the corridor and the orange light from the big window was shining through, making the courtyard bright under the moonlight. This was a two-story courtyard, filled with fine trees and flowers, and a faint fragrance wafting around.

Chen Shiying led her to the main room, speaking in a low voice, “This is Mrs. Jiang’s courtyard. You will be staying here temporarily. I will have someone make arrangements for your new room right away so that you can move there tomorrow.” He offered an advice, “Mrs. Jiang is a good person, modest and virtuous. You should get along well with her. Being on good terms with her would be beneficial to you in this house. Afu, you are a smart girl, you know what’s best for you.”

Just as they entered the main room, Mrs. Jiang emerged from the East Room. She was wearing a slightly old satin embroidered robe in light blue, her black hair casually gathered on top of her head. Her makeup-free face looked quite ordinary, as if she was ready to rest.

When she was not smiling, she came across as very dignified and serious. Yet when she smiled, she was incredibly warm. Her eyes crimped as if her heart was laughing too. And her voice — so pleasant and gentle, it was hard to believe it was emanating from her.

This contradiction in Mrs. Jiang’s demeanor somewhat confused Chen Afu.
