Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2548: 2484: Feels Suspicious

Previously, she hadn't noticed anything amiss.

On every such event, Lu Shuangshuang always took along the siblings Jiang Yunqing and Jiang Yuncun, yet now an odd sensation stirred in her heart.

In the Fourth House, Jiang Yunqing and his siblings weren't the eldest daughter or grandson, nor the ones most favored by Fourth Master, so these events originally excluded them.

However, since Lu Shuangshuang included them, nobody in the Jiang Family ever objected.

Earlier, Jiang Qiuyan hadn't viewed it as improper either, but maybe because Old Master Jiang instructed her to speak those words to Lu Shuangshuang, her perspective shifted.

Thus, observing the scene now, she started sensing something off.

When important guests visited the Jiang Family and a banquet was held here, Lu Shuangshuang would show up if she happened to be around.

Back then, she wasn't officially Xiao Sixth’s wife yet.

By rights, someone with proper etiquette wouldn't attend, but Lu Shuangshuang appeared at every one, letting numerous key clients and guests of the Jiang Family recognize her as the Main Wife representing the family, standing for Jiang Liu of this House.

It was like the whole world accepted her as Shi Heng’s spouse.

With Jiang Yunqing and his siblings in tow, her entire bearing suggested she was Shi Heng’s wife and they were his kids.

As a result, Jiang Qiuyan's heart jolted when she reflected on it now.

How many outsiders had always seen it that way?

Common bystanders could speculate freely without consequence, but what about the influential figures tied to the Jiang Family over the years?

Their opinions mattered greatly, without doubt!

Jiang Qiuyan pondered further and abruptly spotted another detail.

It appeared that Lu Shuangshuang conveniently stayed at the Jiang Family whenever a major banquet occurred!

Such visits always came with advance notice, requiring the Jiang Family to arrange banquets at least five days ahead.

Thus, Lu Shuangshuang likely learned of the schedules early and rushed over to the Jiang Family!

This realization made Jiang Qiuyan grow wary.

Her look toward Lu Shuangshuang shifted inevitably.

Lu Shuangshuang glanced her way.

“Aunt? What’s the matter?”

Lu Shuangshuang’s actions once seemed so thoughtful and caring, but now Jiang Qiuyan felt a sudden chill of unease.

Just a subtle shift in her eyes, and Lu Shuangshuang picked up on it right away.

What did that mean?

It meant Lu Shuangshuang possessed sharp observational skills, being incredibly perceptive and alert.

“Oh, nothing, just think the beads you’re wearing, Shuangshuang, are very beautiful.” Jiang Qiuyan averted her eyes slightly, directing them to the necklace on Lu Shuangshuang’s neck.

A strand of jade beads shone with vivid green luster, featuring a Jade Buddha at the center.

This necklace of jade beads looked rather precious.

Worried she might be reading too much into it, and that a mistake would wrong Lu Shuangshuang and wound her feelings,

Jiang Qiuyan chose to switch topics.

Yet toward Lu Shuangshuang, she instinctively started harboring some caution deep down.

Lu Shuangshuang touched the Jade Buddha on her chest, gave a soft laugh, and replied, “It’s just a bit old-fashioned, which is why I haven’t worn it. Since it was a gift from Grandpa, and he’s here today, I wore it out to prevent him from thinking I don’t like it. Aunt, you must keep it a secret for me, so Grandpa doesn’t know I find his gift old-fashioned.”
