Chapter 4: She never loses in verbal battles

Jiang Yunyao and her sisters made an appointment today to go to the newly opened Jinsheng Silver Shop to look at jewelry. They were happily discussing the fact that Jiang Ruo was going to marry Xiao Chengjin to bring good luck.

The emperor has granted her a marriage, and if she refuses, she is disobeying his order.

When Jiang Yunyao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she heard crying and shouting not far away.

She frowned in displeasure and cursed in her heart: Who is so presumptuous as to dare to shout in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Chunmei, the maidservant beside Jiang Yunyao, spotted Jiang Ruo's figure with her sharp eyes and said weakly, "Miss, I think I saw the eldest lady!"

"What?"

When Jiang Yunyao heard this, a look of surprise flashed across her pretty face.

"Go and take a look!"

The master and servant walked forward quickly.

When Jiang Yunyao saw the bruised and battered Zhou Pozi kneeling on the ground, she instantly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mammy, what's wrong with you?"

Then, he turned around and asked Jiang Ruo, "Jiang Ruo, what are you doing?"

When Mrs. Zhou saw her supporters coming, she wailed even louder.

"Shark, woooo!"

Jiang Ruo was annoyed by Mrs. Zhou's noises. She kicked her to the ground and said sinisterly, "You naughty slave, if you dare to make any more noise, I will pull out your tongue."

Mrs. Zhou's body trembled slightly, her cloudy eyes were full of fear, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

Jiang Ruo was very satisfied with Mrs. Zhou's reaction, and then turned her attention to Jiang Yunyao's angry face...

"Miss Jiang Er, you didn't even say hello to your elder sister when you met her? You really are well-educated!" The sarcasm in her tone was self-evident.

Jiang Yunyao's eyes suddenly widened, and she forgot how to react...

Is this powerful woman in front of me the coward from Liuliyuan?

Jiang Ruo looked at Jiang Yunyao's reaction, a sneer on his lips, "Oh, the most talented woman in the capital, smart and dignified, now it seems... nothing more than you, you!"

These words were a fatal blow to Jiang Yunyao, who was used to being praised by others.

She is the future Crown Princess in everyone's eyes.

And all those young men in the capital, who wouldn't be attracted to her!

Now, he is being laughed at by this talentless and...ughtless coward.

Although Jiang Ruo looked a little thin in the sunlight, her delicate face was very dazzling, especially the aura around her, which was not to be underestimated.

At this moment, Jiang Yunyao felt a sense of oppression for no reason.

It doesn’t matter. Jiang Ruo is about to marry His Royal Highness Prince An, the living dead.

Humph! In this life, she will live a life that Jiang Ruo can never reach.

Pei, who was hiding not far away, looked at the wanton Jiang Ruo with resentment in her eyes, and cursed in her heart: Bitch, you are so capable.

For some reason, from the moment Jiang Ruo agreed to marry His Royal Highness Prince An, she even had the illusion that Jiang Ruo had lost her control.

No, I must be overthinking it.

She winked at Mrs. Liu beside her. Mrs. Liu understood, took a few quick steps, and then raised her shrill voice and shouted, "Madam, please come quickly! Sister Zhou is about to be beaten to death."

Pei pretended to take a few quick steps and looked at Mrs. Zhou with a distressed look on her face, "Someone, help Mrs. Zhou up quickly."

Jiang Yunyao was about to complain when Pei glared at her and she had no choice but to stand aside and watch quietly.

Pei turned around and looked at Jiang Ruo and her servant with a gloomy face, "Miss, why did you hit Madam Zhou?"

Jiang Ruo met Pei's gaze directly. "I'm only disciplining this insubordinate slave. If word gets out that the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion dare to act arrogantly in front of their master, where will the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion be?"

Pei was instantly furious. She glanced at the miserable-looking Mrs. Zhou, and her mind raced...

Jiang Qinian loves face the most. If this matter comes to his attention, Mrs. Zhou might be sold out.

Jiang Ruo's actions today were clearly revenge, or perhaps, a formal declaration of war against her.

Now, I can only swallow this anger for the time being.

Thinking about it, a cold look flashed across Pei's eyes, and she said with a forced smile, "Ruo'er, you're about to be a bride, why are you still so angry?"

How's that? It hits a nerve, doesn't it?

You are still a little young to fight with me.

Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "Yes! When I marry into Prince An's Mansion, I will be the official Princess An."

When the time comes, you will have to pay your respects to me, Princess An.

Humph, when it comes to verbal battles, Jiang Ruo has never lost.

Upon hearing this, Pei's face turned pale and blue.

Yes! How could she forget that Jiang Ruo was going to be on the royal jade plate?

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

A maid came over and said with a humble look, "Madam, it's time for lunch."

Pei acted like the mistress of the house and said coldly, "I know, go and wait!"

"Help Madam Zhou down! Let the court doctor take a look at her."

After Pei finished speaking, she walked towards the dining hall.

Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows and said to Dong Xue beside her: "Let's go!"

As he passed Jiang Yunyao, he pretended to sigh, "I haven't eaten in the dining hall for eight years. I wonder if anything has changed? For example, someone... has taken over my place."

Jiang Yunyao: “…”

This coward...is he implying that he's taken her place?

Humph! There's no place for her in the dining hall anymore.

Jiang Qinian was stunned when he saw Jiang Ruo appear.

Since the daughter fell ill that winter, she has set up a small kitchen in the yard.

"Ruo'er meets daddy!"

After Jiang Ruo bowed to Prime Minister Jiang, he walked directly to the seat where the original owner had sat according to his memory.

Jiang Qinian thought that his daughter would soon marry into Prince An's mansion, and from then on, they would have almost no chance to sit down and have meals together.

"Ruo'er, sit down!"

Jiang Ruo nodded slightly and sat there with a dignified posture.

Pei looked at Jiang Ruo who was sitting there, twisting the brocade handkerchief in her hands vigorously.

If I say something too much at this time, will the Prime Minister be angry?

Jiang Yunyao, who followed later, had an expression on her face that was hard to describe when she saw Jiang Ruo sitting in her seat.

This is not a matter of a seat, but a symbol of her status in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jiang Ruo, your existence is redundant, just like your dead mother.

How could Prime Minister Jiang not know the intrigues between them? He felt that for now he should obey Jiang Ruo.

After all, he had important things for her to do.

"Are you a bunch of dog slaves dead? Hurry up and move a chair for the second lady."

After Jiang Qinian gave the order, the servants who were observing his words and expressions took action.

It seems like the young lady is about to make a comeback!

what to do?

I shouldn't have tripped her up if I had known this.

When Jiang Yunyao heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and she looked like she had suffered a great deal of injustice.

Jiang Ruo looked at her tearful face and instantly got goosebumps all over his body.

Tsk tsk! The world owes you an Oscar for your acting skills.
