"Miss...Miss, wake up..."

"Miss, wake up! Madam has already sent people to urge you three times."

The young lady acted strangely yesterday. She slept from morning until evening, only waking up once occasionally, but always in a daze, muttering strange things.

After finally getting her fully awake, she started asking about what happened yesterday. After asking, she would fall back asleep, and this cycle repeated itself.

When she finally woke up, it was almost midnight, and she remembered that she still had an unfinished task—copying books. So she buried herself in her work and didn't finish copying all the books until midnight.

"The breakfast that Madam prepared is getting cold," the maidservant reminded her cautiously.

Jiang Jiaojiao buried herself completely in the blankets, as if that would isolate her from the outside world. When she heard the words "breakfast," she slowly stretched out a hand, rubbed her eyes, and then reluctantly opened them.

What's served for breakfast?

Her voice was dry and hoarse, so A-Yuan quickly handed her some tea.

After a day of fussing, Jiang Jiaojiao finally admitted the truth and chose to give up. She already had no reputation, so what was there to be afraid of in addition to the reputation of forcibly taking a husband? Besides, she had taken her own husband.

Jiang Jiaojiao yawned, her throat dry and hoarse.

I stayed up too late last night, had two extra late-night snacks, and brewed strong tea to stay awake. No wonder my throat is sore today.

"The sweet white fungus porridge and osmanthus cake that Madam herself cooked..."

"And Miss's favorite milk tea..."

A Yuan introduced herself with a smile.

Jiang Jiaojiao jumped up in a flash, "Hurry up and wash up, I'm hungry."

"Pfft—"

Ah Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Miss has quite the appetite."

"but……"

Ah Yuan compared her waist to the young lady's, "Looking at how much you've eaten, you've gotten even thinner."

Jiang Jiaojiao used to eat only three-quarters full in order to lose weight, but she felt even fatter every morning when she woke up, so she didn't dare to eat breakfast anymore.

But the less she ate, the fatter she became.

Since being reborn and giving up, I've been carefree, eating and drinking whatever I want, and I've actually lost weight.

How strange!

Jiang Jiaojiao looked down and said, "Uh... it seems like the flesh is growing here."

"Hehe, Miss Thirteen must be so envious."

Ah Yuan joked.

Jiang Jiaojiao smiled too, her eyebrows curving, her face flushed, and she was incomparably beautiful without any makeup.

After returning from Baima Temple.

Little Thirteen actually got her diet plan and has been eating it for quite some time now. There's no obvious change in her body, but her face has gotten rounder, almost catching up with hers. When the two of them walk out, they look more and more like sisters.

Jiang Jiaojiao touched her soft, round face in front of the mirror.

Or... should I eat less?

He's so thin, does he prefer someone thinner?

When Jiang Jiaojiao looked at the steaming breakfast spread on the table, she completely forgot about eating less and being thinner.

If you die, you won't be able to eat anything anymore.

so--

Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful; eat as much as you want.

"Jiaojiao, try this steamed dumpling, it's so soft and sticky."

"And this steamed egg custard is fresh and delicious."

"This is bird's nest, a top-quality tribute. Your maternal grandmother had it delivered and it was stewed overnight."

"this……"

"Try it..."

Jin served the dishes to her daughter one by one. Seeing her daughter eating with a smile on her face and without even looking up, Jin was overjoyed and all her worries disappeared.

"Mother, this is really delicious, you should try some too."

After drinking a cup of milk, Jiang Jiaojiao felt her throat instantly soothed, and she picked up a soft, sweet osmanthus cake for her mother.

One bite, and the sweetness warmed Kim's heart.

"The traitor——"

Outside the door.

Jiang Qingyun stormed in, pointing at Jiang Jiaojiao and scolding, "Your elder brother went to the palace and hasn't returned all night, his life hanging in the balance. The Marquis's mansion is in grave danger, and you still have the nerve to eat!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not showing any fatherly affection!"

Jiang Jiaojiao smiled.

Her father was indeed as selfish as ever. His brother had only spent one night in the palace, and he had probably already thought of countless ways to escape.

Father-daughter relationship?

Has it ever happened?

When Jiang Qingyun appeared, Jin's expression was already unpleasant, so upon hearing these words, she could no longer hold back.

"What do you want? Will you tie up Jiaojiao and take her to apologize, or will you sever your father-daughter relationship?"

“Great! Just say the word and I can take Jiaojiao back to the Jin family. You may not care, but plenty of others will.”

Ever since we broke off all pretense of civility in front of the Seventh Prince.

Jin Shi was no longer willing to endure it. It was just a divorce anyway. As long as Jiao Jiao was there, she was not afraid of anything.

Jiang Qingyun's hands trembled with anger, "You—"

"presumptuous--"

"Look at your good daughter and good son! They're all just troublemakers!"

"Her Highness is so noble, how could a dissolute warrior like him even dream of such a thing! Even if the second son becomes Master Li's disciple, he's still just a scholar without any official position!"

"You must go to the palace immediately to apologize. You've tarnished the princess's reputation. Only Liu'er is a barely suitable match now..."

"Pah!"

Jin nearly spat in Jiang Qingyun's face, scaring Jiang Qingyun so much that he staggered back, trembling all over. "You—shrew! Shrew!"

"How dare you say that! My son is skilled in both martial arts and literature, yet he is still not worthy of the princess. How could Jiang Liu, a dissolute illegitimate son, be worthy of her?!"

"You still want Jiaojiao to mediate? Keep dreaming!"

Jiang Qingyun blushed. "I will petition His Majesty to appoint Liu'er as the heir apparent, the heir apparent of the Marquis's mansion. That would not be an insult to the Fourth Princess."

"You—you bastard!"

Jin was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She lunged forward like an angry tigress, slamming into Jiang Qingyun viciously.

With a muffled thud, Jiang Qingyun was sent flying several steps away by Jin's sudden collision, landing on the ground in a disheveled state.

"Don't even think about it! Don't even think about it!"

“He’s an illegitimate son. I’ve raised him with all my heart, not so he could steal my son’s position as heir!”

"You heartless bastard!"

"You think we're all dead, mother and son, if you're going to make him the heir?"

Jin stared wide-eyed at Jiang Qingyun, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Jiang Jiaojiao's face finally darkened.

In a past life...

She died after running away from her arranged marriage. Less than half a month later, at Jiang Xue's instigation, her good father asked Jiang Liu to be named heir apparent, citing his offense against the seventh prince and the involvement of Jin Shi and his two elder brothers in the crime.

Unexpectedly, it happened again in this lifetime.

River flow?

Or Jiang Xue?

It couldn't be Jiang Qingyun in front of me. Although he favors Jiang Xue and Jiang Liu, his inherent selfishness is more important than anything else.

He would never agree to be made heir apparent if there were not sufficient benefits to entice him.

Jiang Liu's brain isn't that sharp either.

Then it has to be Jiang Xue. I wonder what she promised?

It seems...

Jiang Xue hasn't been idle these past few days either!
