Chapter 230 - 230: When Will the Matter Be Handled
Wenren Zong said with a bitter smile, “Mother, have you come to visit your son or to add to my troubles?”
“Of course, we’re worried about you, that’s why we came to see you,” Eldest Sister said softly.
“All of you, it doesn’t feel like you’re here to see a sick person, more like you’re watching a spectacle.”
“How can you talk to your sisters like that?” Third Sister poked him and accidentally touched his wound, causing him to inhale sharply from the pain.
Jiang Ning saw this from the doorway, and she felt anxious on his behalf.
Jiang Yi whispered, “This group of women, not a single one of them is thrifty. When you marry into their family, you’ll have to deal with a bunch of sisters-in-law. It won’t be easy for you.”
Jiang Ning laughed and said, “I think these sisters are all drama queens. If they really cared about him, why didn’t any of them react when his wound was touched just now? Even Madam Wenren didn’t furrow her brows at all. I feel that although Thirteen was born among women, he didn’t grow up spoiled.”
“That’s true. This commotion isn’t conducive for resting.”
“Brother, I think Thirteen is truly uncomfortable. Why don’t you ask them to leave for now? With all this noise, I already have a headache, let alone someone with a head injury like him.” Jiang Ning said.
“I won’t go. As the saying goes, women and petty people are hard to raise, and there are so many women here that I can’t handle them.”
“There are quite a few women at home as well, but you seem to be getting by just fine.”
“It’s different with family members.”
“Lately, there have been many marriage proposals at home. When you get married, let’s see if you dare to say these words in front of your wife.”
“Of course not. Once she’s married into our family, she’ll be one of us.”
“Third Brother, please help me out and ask them to leave. If Thirteen doesn’t recover properly, leaving lingering issues, it will be our Jiang Family’s fault.”
“Fine, then.” Jiang Yi raised his head and cleared his throat, “Our Seventh Sister is worried about Master Thirteen and would like all of you to leave and let the patient rest!”
Jiang Ning:”…”
If she were able to stand, she would definitely stomp her foot in frustration.
What a bad luck.
Upon hearing these words, the dozen or so women, including Madam Wenren, all turned their heads in unison to look at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning hurriedly said with a smile, “My brother is just talking nonsense; please don’t mind him. You can sit down. How about we arrange a carriage to take Thirteen back home, and you all can chat at your leisure?”
“You must be Ningning, right?” Eldest Sister walked over, smiling warmly. “I was delayed by some matters during mother’s birthday banquet last time, and didn’t get to meet you. Just look at her! Her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose, and her mouth – each one is so beautiful it’s deadly.”
A few sisters gathered around Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning suddenly felt like she had become a rare animal being watched by a crowd.
Third Sister reached out and touched Jiang Ning’s face, “This skin is amazing, not a single flaw. So smooth and tender! Thirteen is so fortunate!”
Wenren Zong:”…”
Jiang Ning:”…”
Fourth Sister asked with a smile, “Ningning, when do you plan to have your wedding with Thirteen?”
“The 26th of this month is a good day,” Fifth Sister said seriously.
“Not bad, although it’s a bit rushed,” Sixth Sister counted on her fingers, “There are so many things to prepare, it will take at least two to three months.”
Wenren Zong said expressionlessly, “Mother, can you take them away? This isn’t our home, and I know you all came to see Ningning, but you might scare her like this.”

Nobody listened to him.
Eldest Sister, holding Jiang Ning’s hand, said with satisfaction, “Our Thirteen has never fought with anyone since he was a child, so I was worried that he lacked a man’s spirit. But now, for you, he has finally become more like a man..”
