Jiang Jingyu's eyes widened immediately. She had been here for so long and hadn't earned a single point, but now she had been penalized 200 points.

When Jiang Jingyue heard the news, she could hardly believe it.

"Tongzi, I don't want it, you can take it back! I don't know when I'll be able to get these two hundred points, I don't like spending money in advance."

To Jiang Jingyue's surprise, she was rejected.

"Host, once the goods in our store are sold, they cannot be returned or exchanged."

"Damn it, System, you guys are really dogs."

The system itself has to admit that this is indeed the case.

Since there was no going back, Jiang Jingyue could only accept it and swallowed the medicine in one gulp.

As soon as she swallowed it, Jiang Jingyue suddenly felt relaxed all over. This pain relief pill really lived up to its reputation.

"Host, how do you feel? Don't you suddenly realize that spending those two hundred yuan was well worth it?"

Jiang Jingyue didn't say whether it was worth it or not. Although she didn't know if two hundred yuan was worth it, she felt comfortable all over now and suddenly felt that it was quite worth it.

"Miss, Miss, Madam is here again."

Seeing Qiu Hua's flustered appearance, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but speak up.

"Don't worry, so what if she's here? This is our territory, why should we be afraid of her?"

Jiang Jingyue knew why Madam Jiang had come; it was simply to plead for mercy.

Although she brought a lot of things that day, when Jiang Jingyue had them checked from head to toe, several valuable items were missing.

At first, Madam Jiang denied it, insisting that she had taken all of Madam Jiang's things.

But the more she acted this way, the less Jiang Jingyue wanted to let her off so easily.

Madam Jiang walked in with a worried look on her face, followed by her daughter Jiang Shuyue.

As soon as she entered, Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Jingyue and spoke.

"Jing'er, look, can we just let those things go like this? I really have no other choice. We're out of money, so it's just a few items less, it won't have a big impact."

Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Jingyue with a somewhat evasive gaze, as if she were hiding something from her.

Jiang Jingyue wouldn't let it go so easily, so when she said that, Jiang Jingyue immediately nodded.

"Of course you can, if you say forget it, then forget it..."

Before Jiang Jingyue could finish speaking, Madam Jiang's eyes lit up, and even Jiang Shuyue, who was following behind her, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jing'er, you're so sensible. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Madam Jiang was all smiles at this moment. Actually, those things weren't gone, but they were quite valuable, some even worth several hundred taels of silver.

When she was managing Jiang Jingyue's mother's dowry, she immediately had wicked thoughts.

She returned all the valuables to her parents' home, the Zhang family, which made them look at her with even greater respect.

Zhang Jiaru, accompanied by a large group of maids, once again swayed her barrel-shaped waist as she walked outside.

Watching her leave, Qiu Hua immediately spoke up indignantly, her eyes filled with disgust for Zhang Jiaru.

“Miss, those missing items were the most valuable things in Madam’s dowry.”

Qiu Hua felt a pang of heartache at the thought of losing those valuable things.

"Qiuhua, don't worry, no matter what, I will find these things. Let's go find my father!"

study.

Seeing Jiang Jingyue suddenly come to his study, Prime Minister Jiang looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Jing'er, is there a problem?"

In front of Prime Minister Jiang, Jiang Jingyue burst into tears, looking so pitiful that it made people feel sorry for her.

This was the first time Prime Minister Jiang had seen Jiang Jingyue cry like this. Looking at her face, which resembled his ex-wife's, Prime Minister Jiang couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far in the past.

He had always neglected his daughter, letting her grow up on her own.

"Jing'er, don't cry. Tell Daddy what happened."

Jiang Jingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes red and pitiful, and said, "Father, Madam Jiang said that several of the things Mother left behind are missing, but Jing'er just saw them."

Those were Mother's favorite things. If they're all gone, Jing'er might as well go down and apologize to Mother.

What Prime Minister Jiang fears most right now is that something might happen to Jiang Jingyue. The main reason is that he still needs Jiang Jingyue to enter the palace. If Jiang Jingyue dies, and no one enters the palace, his family will be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

This is no joke; it could mean the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

"Jing'er, don't worry! Father will go to her now and make sure she brings you everything that is rightfully yours."

Jiang Jingyue smiled as she watched Prime Minister Jiang hurry out.

"Qiuhua, let's go! We don't need to worry about what happens next."

Jiang Jingyue knew that in order for her to enter the palace smoothly this time, Prime Minister Jiang would definitely not dare to contradict her now, and he would definitely have to satisfy her every wish.

Because what he feared most was that she would not agree to enter the palace.

As soon as Jiang Jingyue stepped out of the study, she saw a woman dressed in a light pink gauze dress walking towards her with a furious expression.

"Miss, it's the second young lady. She's walking this way. Should we avoid her?"

The main problem is that this second young lady is not a good person. Seeing her angry appearance, Qiu Hua is worried that her master will be hurt again.

"No need, I want to see what she's up to."

Jiang Jingyue now curled her lips into a cold smile; she was no longer the person she used to be.

As soon as Jiang Shuyue came to her side, she slapped her.

Jiang Jingyue is no longer the same person who could be easily manipulated.

She dodged immediately, giving Jiang Shuyue no chance to hit her.

He grabbed Jiang Shuyue's hand tightly and pulled it backward forcefully.

In an instant, screams echoed throughout the garden. Jiang Shuyue finally understood why her third brother had been in so much pain last time—it was because he was truly in pain.

"Jiang Jingyue, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Let me go right now!"

Jiang Jingyue felt a great sense of relief as she watched her struggle.

"What? You used to love framing me so much, but now that I've really hit you, why are you crying like this, you coward?"

Jiang Jingyue released her, and she immediately fell to the ground, her hands hanging limply.

"Jiang Jingyue, how dare you? How dare you treat me like this?"

There's nothing Jiang Jingyue wouldn't dare to do now; she'll do whatever she wants to anyone she doesn't like.
