Chapter 54

how so?

Just now in the carriage, in a panic, when she was telling Wen Shuye's fortune, she inexplicably included her brother's fate.

This careless action made her heart break.

This matter.

She needs to meet with her brother again to ask for clarification.

She shouldn't have treated His Highness in this way, but after figuring out certain things, she made a bold guess. Then when she heard His Highness describe her brother in this way, she became furious and couldn't help but question him coldly.

"Your Highness, what do you think is the difference between me and my brother?"

The prince looked at Jiang Zhaoying in front of him. She was as angry as a tigress just because he said that. If he said a few more harsh words, wouldn't she pounce on him and tear him to pieces?

"You are too good, which makes him look a little mediocre. But if he was too good, Madam Jiang would not let him live."

This is very straightforward, but also very true.

The hostility in Jiang Zhaoying disappeared instantly, but hatred surged in his eyes. No matter how mediocre he was, his aunt still did not let him go.

She couldn't give birth to a son, and she wouldn't allow the Jiang family to have a son!

"You asked me to protect Lao Wu, what about your brother?"

One is a protector, two are also protectors. He knows that in terms of measurement, two Xu Zhiyans are not as good as half of Jiang Zhaoying.

so.

As long as Jiang Zhaoying can be used by him, these things will be simple.

"I will protect my brother."

This life.

She would never let her brother die at the hands of her aunt, she thought... she would let her brother see the true colors of her aunt and two sisters, keep him away from them, and then live happily as a playboy for the rest of his life, eating, drinking and having fun. If Qiangwei could give birth to two children for their Jiang family, that would be perfect.

As for her.

I am destined to be alone in this life and will never have children!

"Your Highness, I have disturbed you for too long. I will take my leave now."

Jiang Zhaoying was anxious to see Jiang Zhiyu, so she stood up to say goodbye. The prince walked up to her and lowered his eyes to look at the unfathomable woman in front of him.

"Jiang Zhaoying, you will pay the price for using me."

Jiang Zhaoying raised her head and met the prince's cold eyes without any fear.

"Your Highness can also use me. I will prove my worth to Your Highness."

"I'll wait and see!"

The prince nodded, and Jiang Zhaoying bowed, turned around and walked out of the main hall against the sunlight.

The prince took two steps forward and watched Jiang Zhaoying disappear into the depths of the flowers.

A branch accidentally touched her shoulder, and the petals fluttered, which was very beautiful.

"Your Highness, Miss Jiang sent two people to the direction of Qishan Town. I checked and found that they were carrying large amounts of silver bills. I think they were going there to help the people."

"oh?"

There was a glimmer of interest in the prince's eyes. She could have clearly boasted about her achievements in front of him just now, but she didn't say a word.

Jiang Zhaoying is also an interesting person.

Raise your hand.

The prince reached out and caught a petal that flew towards him.

"Having money isn't such a bad thing, is it?"

Shen Liuguang blinked.

"But Your Highness, merchants have always been the lowest class since ancient times. Do you really want to honor her?"

The prince shook his head.

"In this world, the capable should be in power. With Madam Jiang's ability, it would not be too much for the emperor to make her the Imperial Consort. If she had entered the palace, the national treasury would have been rich."

This Mrs. Jiang doesn't have a strong presence and she deliberately keeps a low profile, but the more you investigate, the more shocked and frightened you will be.

She expanded her business to the entire continent within three years, which is impossible for many men.

But she, a woman, did it.

Although she always wore a veil hat when she went out, everyone who saw her appearance found her stunningly beautiful.

Someone once presented her portrait to my father and mentioned her name, and my father wanted to make her a concubine immediately. However, the court officials disliked Madam Jiang because she was a merchant. They had a fierce argument in the court and refused to agree no matter what.

These stupid courtiers, they don’t even know what they have lost!

so.

This Jiang Zhaoying.

The prince looked in the direction where Jiang Zhaoying had lost her sight and clenched his fists slightly.

Since there is an opportunity to cooperate, why not give it a try?

"Where's Ziying?"

As soon as the words fell.

The purple shadow fell quietly from a towering tree. The prince glanced at Shen Liuguang indifferently and turned away.

Ziying's heart skipped a beat and she looked up at Shen Liuguang in confusion.

Shen Liuguang stepped forward.

"I asked you to protect Miss Jiang, how can you just leave her side?"

"Protect?"

Didn’t Your Highness say that you would monitor Miss Jiang?

"Forget it, let's change people."

Shen Liuguang looked at his confused subordinate, patted his shoulder, and prepared to replace him.

Ziying became anxious when he heard this.

"I was wrong, Commander. I will go there immediately and will never leave Miss Jiang's side again."

He...he...last time when he was removing the tiles, he accidentally saw the wound on Miss Jiang's shoulder. Since he had seen her body, he naturally had to be responsible for her. He would protect Miss Jiang for the rest of his life.

"Commander, I can do it very well."

Shen Liuguang looked at Ziying's handsome face. This guy was usually as cold as ice, so why did he have an expression now?

You've only been with Jiang Zhaoying for a few days, and you're already following your master?

"Go get five sticks, and then hurry over."

"yes."

Ziying turned around without any hesitation and ran towards the criminal room.

Shen Liuguang looked at him disappearing in a flash, sneered, and turned to talk to Cheng Tingan.

"This Miss Jiang is quite interesting."

Cheng Ting'an nodded.

"I don't want her to die at your Highness's hands."

Speaking of this, the two were silent for a while, not knowing whether Ziying could get to Miss Jiang after receiving the five sticks.

In the inner city.

A carriage galloped forward, and soon it left the city and headed towards a mountain called Heming Mountain.

All the way to the foot of the mountain.

The curtain opened and Jiang Zhaoying jumped down.

here.

It is the mountain range of their Jiang family. There is a piece of land with excellent feng shui on the mountainside, where her mother Rong Linghui is buried.

A winding road.

When I arrived at the cemetery, beads of sweat were already on my forehead.

Take out the incense, candles and paper money and light them one by one.

Jiang Zhaoying knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and walked to her mother's tombstone and squatted down, gently stroking the three words "Rong Linghui", tears still fell from her eyes.

"Mother."

There is a picture album at home, which contains all the drawings my brother made when he was a child, and all the drawings are of our mother.

The mother who is planting flowers, the mother who is embroidering, the mother who is playing, the mother who is snuggling with the father...all kinds of mothers.

Even so.

But she gradually couldn't remember what her mother looked like.

"The daughter has almost forgotten what her mother looks like, but she doesn't want to forget."

If mother really went to her world, what kind of place is that? Is she happy? Do you miss yourself and your brother?

"younger sister."

Jiang Zhiyu ran all the way up, and sat down on his knees in front of the tomb, unable to breathe.

Jiang Zhaoying came to his side, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Shu Yun brought water to quench his thirst. After Jiang Zhiyu gulped down two cups, he got up and kowtowed to his mother.

"Mom, I'm here to see you. Last month, my son had a lot of flowers sent to me. Do you like them, mom?"

"elder brother."

Jiang Zhaoying looked at her brother with bright eyes and starry brows, who cared so much about them, and her nose felt sore. She grabbed his shoulder and asked him.

"I calculated your fate."

Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Why would I care? This is my destiny. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I live a life of wealth and prosperity. I can have whatever I want..."

"Where has your luck gone?"

Jiang Zhiyu was startled and looked up at Jiang Zhaoying in a daze, with a trace of panic in his eyes. Jiang Zhaoying looked at him, and he avoided his sister's sight and looked at the surrounding flowers and green scenery.

"You shouldn't have done this. Where did your luck go? Father must know about this. Why did he just let it go?"

How could a father not see that a person’s luck had been taken away?

Unless the person who took away their luck was from the Jiang family, or was someone very important to them, Jiang Zhaoying's tears kept overflowing from his eyes. He tightly grasped Jiang Zhiyu's hands and asked him angrily.

"Brother, did you give me your luck?"
