After Yan Wan left, Jing Xi opened the pill box, took out the Nourishing Essence Pill, sniffed it, and then smiled: "It really is worth a fortune."
"Jingmo, come here." Jingxi beckoned Jingmo from the doorway into the house. She poured a glass of water, held the pill to Jingmo's lips, and said, "Eat it."
"Sister, I understand." Jing Mo opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.
"Sister, is Miss Yan a good person? Will she harm us? But she's so pretty, she shouldn't be a bad person, right?" Jing Mo's voice grew softer and softer, and others might not be able to hear him, but Jing Xi heard him clearly. She raised her hand and smacked Jing Mo, laughing as she said, "You brat, who told you that being pretty means you're not a bad person? Would a bad person have 'I'm a bad person' written all over their forehead?"
"I understand, sister. I won't judge people by their appearance anymore." Jing Mo said apologetically.
"Don't worry, Miss Yan won't harm us now, but who knows what will happen in the future? It's always good to be cautious."
"Jingmo, do you prefer your current sister or your former sister?" Jingxi asked while taking Jingmo's pulse.
"I like my current sister. She protects me now. My previous sister was also good, but she cried a lot. I don't want her to be unhappy. I will work hard to make something of myself and protect her." Jingmo clenched her little fist and said with great determination.
"Okay, I believe you, go out and have some fun."
Watching her younger brother playing happily in the yard, Jingxi thought to herself, "Don't worry, it won't be long before we get back what's rightfully ours. Jinghong, Aunt Yue, Jinglian'er, I'm here to take your lives."

Yan Wan hummed a song as she walked out of the Jing residence. Gu Yu looked at her happy young lady and asked in confusion, "Miss, what makes you so happy?"
"Hehe, Jingxi and I are friends now," Yan Wan said happily.
Gu Yu looked bewildered, not understanding but respectful.
Yan Wan looked at Gu Yu's silly expression and said with a smile, "Oh, you don't understand. Let's go shopping."
Silly child, of course you don't understand. That's the female lead, the protagonist of this world. Hehe, I'm friends with the female lead, hehehe.
"Sister Yan, why didn't you let me know you were coming to the Jing residence? I could have gone to greet you." Jing Lian'er rushed over with an apologetic expression.
"Oh, it's nothing, I didn't come here to see you."
Jing Lian'er choked, her eyes darting around, and tentatively said, "I saw Sister Yan come out of my sister's courtyard. My sister is timid and has no manners. What if she offended Sister Yan?" Jing Lian'er pretended to be full of worry.
"It's nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You don't need to come looking for me again." Yan Wan said, and then walked out.
Jing Lian'er hurriedly grabbed Yan Wan, her eyes red as if someone had bullied her, and said, "Did I do something to upset you, sister? Please don't be angry, sister. Lian'er apologizes to you. As long as you forgive me, I'll do anything."
Yan Wan felt disgusted by her face. Every time she took Jing Lian'er to a banquet, she acted like this. She clearly enjoyed the benefits but pretended to be a victim, making others think that she had forced Jing Lian'er to accompany her and treating her like her maid.
Yan Wan flung Jing Lian'er's hand away and whispered in her ear, "Alright, stop pretending. You've been putting on this pitiful act to deceive others and ruin my reputation. You don't want others to know the real reason I fell into the water, do you? You don't want anyone to know you like the Crown Prince, do you? Don't mess with me, okay?"
Jing Lian'er lowered her head as if she had been frightened.
"I don't understand what my sister is saying."
"Jing Lian'er, I was foolish before, and you used me at every turn, using me as a stepping stone to climb up. Who gave you the guts? If you're not careful, you'll be crushed to pieces! Don't mess with me in the future, or you'll live a little longer." Yan Wan smiled as she looked at Jing Lian'er, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Immediately, Yan Wan turned to leave, but then, as if remembering something, she turned back and said, "Friendly reminder, don't mess with your sister either."
After Yan Wan left with a smile, Jing Lian'er's face instantly turned ferocious. "Bitch, bitch, you're all bitches! I'm going to trample you under my feet! Die!"
After saying that, as if remembering that she was still a lady from a respectable family, she straightened her clothes and said to the maid beside her, "Let's go, Pearl, let's see what my good sister is doing?"
The servants beside her were already used to it, and after curtsying, they followed Jing Lian'er towards the small courtyard in the southeast.
——
"Miss, didn't you and Jing Lian'er have a falling out? Why are you reminding her again?"
"Silly girl, if she doesn't jump around, she won't be called Jing Lian'er."
If the villainous female supporting character didn't cause trouble, how boring would the heroine's life be? There aren't many villainous female supporting characters as self-aware and valuing their lives as I am, haha.
