Chapter 7 Find the Token to Mobilize the Army

"Ruo'er, your mother passed away early. You have suffered a lot over the years."

"I, your father, want to tell you today that even if you marry into Prince An's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion will always be your home, and your father will always be your support."

After Prime Minister Jiang finished speaking in a pretentious manner, he looked at Jiang Ruo with slightly red eyes.

Jiang Ruo: "..."

Oh my god!

I finally understand why the Pei mother and daughter’s acting skills are so good.

It turns out that you are the biggest drama queen in the Prime Minister's Mansion!

This expression and tone are so well-crafted that even I, a person who has lived two lifetimes, have to admit defeat!

Damn, who can’t act?

Jiang Ruo pinched her fingers hard, tears welling up in her eyes, "Daddy, Ruo'er remembers it."

You old man, tell me your purpose now!

The scene suddenly changed, and Prime Minister Jiang's expression became somewhat complicated. "Ruo'er, this time, I don't know if His Royal Highness Prince An can wake up. Your father currently does not have enough strength to protect you..."

Jiang Ruo: Haha~ Here it comes, the highlight is coming.

Her expression changed at first, and then, with a trembling voice, she said, "Father, I don't want to be buried alive with His Highness Prince An."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang's eyes flashed with a hint of success.

He looked around warily and said sternly, "As far as I know, the late emperor secretly built an army for His Royal Highness Prince An. After you married into Prince An's mansion, you secretly found the token to mobilize the army. Do you... understand?"

Jiang Ruo was horrified and shook her head in resistance.

Damn it! You old man, you're already in a high position, yet you still covet things that don't belong to you.

Greedy people are like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Prime Minister Jiang was already displeased when he saw Jiang Ruo's cowardly appearance, but he still said patiently, "Ruo'er, as long as you find that token, Daddy will find a way to ask the Emperor to allow you to divorce."

Jiang Ruo pretended to be hesitant, and just when Prime Minister Jiang was about to give up, she pretended to make a decision, "Daddy, your daughter will listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang was in high spirits. "This is my good daughter, Jiang Qinian."

Jiang Ruo deliberately smiled as if relieved.

"Father, I've thought that since I'll have to leave Prince An's Mansion sooner or later, I'll put the dowry and betrothal gifts in a separate courtyard to save the trouble of moving them around!"

The sudden disappearance of so much dowry and betrothal gifts would definitely arouse suspicion. So he had to get them out first and then escape.

"Ruo'er, you can make the decision on this trivial matter yourself." Prime Minister Jiang achieved his goal and turned to leave.

————

Lunch time.

In front of Prime Minister Jiang, Pei smiled faintly, "Ruo'er, I've asked Steward Ji to sort out your sister's dowry. Please take some time to count it."

In fact, he really wanted to tear Jiang Ruo to pieces.

Early this morning, she went to the two houses in person.

Those ungrateful relatives were unwilling to move out and even mocked her.

They said that as the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she couldn't even control a little girl.

She was so angry that she almost fought with them.

Jiang Ruo gave Pei a look that said, "You're smart." "Ruo'er knows."

Then, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise wildly.

Haha! Do you really want to bite me to death?

I just like seeing you getting so angry that your lungs are about to explode, and then seeing you feeling helpless and frustrated with me.

Jiang Ruo hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and went to the warehouse in a happy mood.

After receiving instructions from Mrs. Pei early in the morning, Steward Ji ordered the servants to quickly pack up the late lady's dowry.

The eldest lady today really made him look at her with new eyes.

Although Prince An's Mansion is not the best place, it is better than marrying those playboys.

When Jiang Ruo arrived at the storeroom, Steward Ji presented her with a small wooden box with a smile, "Miss, the land deeds and land deeds are inside. Please take a look."

Jiang Ruo took the small box and said, "Housekeeper Ji, please arrange for someone to deliver my mother's dowry and the betrothal gifts from Liuli Courtyard to the house closest to Prince An's Mansion."

"Don't worry, Miss. I will take care of this matter."

Although Housekeeper Ji did not understand Jiang Ruo's intention, he still followed her advice and sent all the things to the house before dusk and found two reliable people to guard it.

Pei watched helplessly as truckload after truckload of valuables were taken away, and she was so angry that she threw many things hysterically in her bedroom.

The warehouse is empty!

This bitch actually asked her to return all the profits from the store over the years. That was the small treasury she had saved for many years!

From Jiang Ruo's description, she could already be sure that what happened that year...Jiang Ruo really knew.

If she gets this handle on him, he will be under her control for the rest of his life.

She had to stay calm and wait until Jiang Ruo married into Prince An's mansion before thinking of a way to get rid of her.

A vicious plan formed in Pei's mind...

Princess An couldn't stand the loneliness...and had an affair with another man.

Thinking of this, a terrifying grin appeared on Pei's face.

By then, she would watch Jiang Ruo being thrown into the eighteen levels of hell with her own eyes.

Jiang Ruo was busy dealing with the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day, and busy farming and storing food in the space at night.

Those servants who had bullied the original owner were all dealt with by Jiang Ruo for various reasons. Now when they see Jiang Ruo, they avoid her from a distance like mice seeing a cat.

Jiang Ruo acted like a queen of flowers and acted arrogantly in the Prime Minister's Mansion for three days.

————

The Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and was extremely lively, showing the festive atmosphere of the wedding to the fullest.

Especially those servants who had been punished by Jiang Ruo, they all had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they were watching the fun.

This devil finally went to get married.

It's not yet dawn.

Jiang Ruo was called up by Dong Xue. She stretched and muttered, "It's just a wedding gift, just for the sake of it."

At night, she went around the Prime Minister's Mansion again and took away all the valuable items, such as cloth.

It’s a happy day, let’s have fun together, hehe!

Don’t you all want to see me perform?

I'll let you experience the feeling of excessive joy turning into sorrow.

Nanny Liu and Dongxue remained silent as they carefully put on Jiang Ruo's wedding dress.

The young lady came to congratulate His Royal Highness Prince An, and they felt really bad about it.

If the lady knew about this in the afterlife, she would definitely be very sad!

Nourished by the spiritual spring water, Jiang Ruo's lightly powdered face looked as smooth as cream, especially her slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, which looked even more charming and beautiful.

Against the backdrop of a red wedding dress, her every frown and smile reveals her unparalleled elegance and grace.

Dongxue felt even more depressed when she saw Jiang Ruo's beautiful appearance.

Such a good lady should find a husband of her dreams.

Jiang Ruo noticed the two's depressed mood and comforted them warmly, "Mammy, Dongxue, it's boring to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Let's go to another place. From now on, I won't let you suffer with me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu and Dongxue felt a lump in their throats and nodded with tears in their eyes.

What does it matter if they are wronged?

They...are just afraid that the young lady will be wronged.
