"Little fox, grandpa has something for you."

The Duke knew clearly that his granddaughter's temperament had never changed over the years. Whatever she wanted to do, not only had her reasons, but she would also always do it. He was old and had broken a leg on the battlefield. Although he did not want to see the family in turmoil at this age, he knew in his heart that if the termites were not removed, how long could the superficial peace be maintained?

The third son was ultimately infatuated with women. The second son and his wife only had this granddaughter left. The Duke had originally wanted to leave this huge Duke's Mansion to his youngest son. The eldest son died in the war, and the second son had no successor, leaving only this little son. He was reluctant to let him go to the battlefield, and left the rich family property left by the ancestors of the Jiang family to the third son, hoping that after he passed away, the third son would be able to take care of his two brothers' affairs and his helpless niece...

Forget it... Maybe he was wrong after all, and now he needs his granddaughter to help him clean up the mess.

Looking at his granddaughter, the Duke felt sorry. His granddaughter was smart. If she was a boy, she would have been able to continue the glory of her ancestors. But now, these glory and ugliness don't matter. Fame is not as important as life. After all, he is still stronger than a horse. The little he has left can help his granddaughter and let her do what she wants.

He got up from the bed carefully, using crutches. Jiang Ruohua hurried to support him. Looking at the empty trouser legs, Jiang Ruohua secretly made a decision.

Just breaking off the engagement and getting rid of the third branch was not enough. Grandfather dedicated his whole life but suffered from illness in his old age. Father worked diligently outside the Great Wall all year round. Even the current emperor, who was very suspicious, never thought of getting rid of the Jiang family. The tragic ending of herself and the Jiang family in her dream was mostly because of the idiot Prince Ying!

Today, as long as she is alive, Prince Ying should not think of living as happily as in his dream!

She wants to take away everything from this scum! Take back everything that is owed to her and the Jiang family!

The Duke lifted a stone brick from under the bunk bed, took out a small box from it, and handed the box stained with mold and dust to Jiang Ruohua: "Take it."

Jiang Ruohua took the thing with one hand, helped the Duke sit down first, and then took a look at the box in her hand. After the Duke nodded, she sat on the bed and opened the box.

Outside, the servant followed the doctor and came back with the medicine. Hua Chan stopped the two of them in front of the door and said: "I'll go in, give it to me."

"Miss Hua Chan, I'm afraid you can't handle it alone, why don't you..." The servant said kindly.

"If you can't handle it, go and call someone!" Would Hua Chan be polite to this servant? Since she knew that the young lady came to see the Duke to discuss something, she would not let these servants in. "The young lady injured her foot, the doctor can go in to take a look. If he is too busy, go to the young lady's courtyard and call Yinqiu over. Do you think I can let you get close to the young lady? You are so insolent! I will definitely tell the Third Madam about your offense. You don't even

take the young lady seriously, do you?" "I dare not, I dare not." The servant gritted his teeth in his heart. A woman's reputation is more important than her life. It would be an injustice to report this matter to the Third Madam, so he had to pretend to let it go.

Hua Chan glanced at him, and acted like a maid beside the young lady, not showing him any good face. Actually, there was no need to show him any good face. Servants were like this. Following a good master would bring honor, and following a capable master would make you superior among the servants. Except for those close to you, there was no need to deliberately show good faces to other servants. On the contrary, ordinary servants had to look at the faces of the confidants around their masters, and had to deliberately please them even if they were wronged.

These two servants were chosen by the Third Lady to serve the Duke after he returned home injured. The reason for this was that the young men were strong and could carry and support the Duke wherever he wanted to go, making him more stable.

But after all, the old friend of the Duke, the Third Lady, did not dare to move. The servants who followed the Duke to the battlefield were now the shopkeepers in the Jiang family's shop.

Jiang Ruohua's injury was not too serious, but she had to rest for a few days. She had taken medicine to reduce swelling on her ankle. After it was wrapped with cloth, it looked very serious at first glance.

"Grandfather, have a good rest. Your granddaughter will take her leave first." When the doctor came in, the Duke had a stern face, and Jiang Ruohua also had a slightly aggrieved and unhappy face. With the help of Hua Chan, she gently bent her knees and left.

After they walked away, Hua Chan asked, "Miss, how are you? Is everything going well?"

Jiang Ruohua frowned and nodded slightly, "Let's go back first. The emperor has punished me for copying scriptures. Someone from the palace will come to collect them in a few days."

"Miss, don't be sad. If that's the case, we won't go." Hua Chan said loudly and cleverly, with a righteous look, as if he felt sorry for Jiang Ruohua.

Jiang Ruohua liked Hua Chan like this. This girl has been the most cooperative with her since she was a child. She would tell the bad things when she did something bad, and they could lie together afterwards, and she could always fool her father several times!

Unfortunately, when she grew up and her father was guarding the border, she gradually forgot this trick in the words of the third wife, and put on airs to be her eldest daughter and future princess.

After walking a few steps, a little girl almost bumped into her. In her panic, a packet of medicine fell to the ground!

"Which courtyard are you from? What if you bump into the young lady?" Hua Chan looked at Jiang Ruohua worriedly, and then she felt relieved.

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." The little girl was flustered, her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground begging for mercy in fear.

"What is this?" Jiang Ruohua picked up the scattered medicine packets from the ground. Some of the medicine had fallen to the ground and could not be used anymore. The rest contained some common medicinal materials.

"The young lady is asking you." Hua Chan said.

"Yes, it's Aunt Yuan's medicine..." The little girl looked at the medicine scattered on the ground timidly, and couldn't help but reddening her eyes and crying, "Oh... This was bought with the money that the young lady saved with great difficulty..."

Aunt Yuan? Jiang Ruohua blinked her eyes. Ah... She had some impression of this person. At this time in the dream, Aunt Yuan was sick, and then nothing happened. In a wealthy family, the aunt was not considered the master. If she got seriously ill, the ending would basically be the same.

However...

"Get up." Jiang Ruohua glanced at the little girl on the ground. "The doctor in the mansion hasn't left yet. You can go with her later, Hua Chan. If Aunt Yuan is not well, I'm afraid Sister Qi will be sad too."

She should pave the way for herself now, right?

"Yes." Hua Chan nodded. Since the young lady had ordered it, she would definitely do it for the young lady. Then she folded the medicine bag and returned it to the girl. "Get up. The young lady is kind and doesn't care. Don't be so impetuous next time."

"Thank you, young lady, thank you!"

Jiang Ruohua smiled, still as gentle as the third lady taught her when she was in the mansion: "Go."
