When I saw Jiang Zhaoyue come in, I knew she was going to cause trouble.
"What? She really wants to seduce Brother Yu."
When Jiang Qingluo heard about Song Yu, he instantly lost his mind.
[Sister, Ruan Hezhu is no longer the weak and vulnerable woman she once was. She has a new soul now. You are no match for her.]
"If you go to Prince Chen's mansion and cause trouble, you'll play into her and Jiang Zhaoyue's hands. Not only will the people think you're bullying the weak, but it'll also make Song Yu dislike you. Don't let this happen to you."
Jiang Qingluo paused when he heard this.
Jiang Zhaoyue on the other side didn't notice anything unusual and continued chattering.
"I didn't wrongly accuse her last time. She deliberately approached the prince. The daughter of a fourth-rank official dared to covet the prince. I will not let her off easily this time."
"How did Zhao Yue know about this?"
Yu Shulan asked with a smile, her expression showing an unprecedented indifference, which startled Jiang Zhaoyue.
"I just went out and saw her leaving the Prince's Mansion, so I hurried back to inform Qingluo."
"Notify Qingluo? Then what do you want Qingluo to do? Beat Ruan Hezhu again or have a big fight with the prince?"
"Zhao Yue didn't mean that. I just didn't want my sister to be bullied. Why did Auntie misunderstand me like that?"
[That's what she meant. After her sister was scolded by the Crown Prince, she pretended to be understanding and approached the Crown Prince. It was obvious that she was jealous of her sister's status as the Crown Prince's Consort and wanted to snatch it away.]
[The heroine is not a good person, and Jiang Zhaoyue is even less so. Sister, don't be fooled by her.]
Seeing that Jiang Qingluo didn't move, Jiang Zhaoyue snorted coldly, "Good intentions are really not rewarded. If that's the case, then let Ruan Hezhu snatch the prince away."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Every time she was angry, Jiang Qingluo would chase her. After all, she was the one with the closest relationship in this family.
As expected, Jiang Qingluo put his sister down and chased after her.
[How can my sister be so slow in thinking? When I can speak again, I will scold her and wake her up.]
Yu Shulan patted her comfortingly, and then said to Wen Xia, "Go and follow him. Don't let Qingluo get into trouble again."
"yes."
Wen Xia didn't come back until it was getting dark, and Jiang Qingwan, who was originally drowsy, instantly became energetic.
[How's your sister? Did she hit the heroine and get scolded by the prince in public?]
Yu Shulan also asked.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xia shook her head. "Miss Qingluo didn't cause any trouble. She apologized to Miss Ruan in public, saying that she was momentarily possessed by evil and now realizes her mistake."
"Miss Ruan is truly ignorant of etiquette. Even after I apologized, she was still being unreasonable and insisted on making me jump into the water as well."
"When the prince went to dissuade her, she actually scolded him as well, saying that they bullied the weak and didn't know how to respect others. They almost killed her and she should pay for it with her life."
"When everyone saw Ruan Hezhu like this, they also felt that she deserved the beating from the young lady last time. A daughter of a minor official who had just arrived in the capital dared to bully her superiors like this."
"In the end, it was Lord Ruan who came out, slapped Ruan Hezhu twice, and dragged her away before they gave up."
The course of events was completely different from that in the book.
She remembered that the book said that this was the first time Ruan Hezhu met Song Yu. In order to curry favor with the powerful, Lord Ruan deliberately took this opportunity to take Ruan Hezhu to Prince Chen's Mansion to express his gratitude.
When Ruan Hezhu saw Song Yu's handsome appearance, she was instantly attracted and felt that only such status and appearance could match her identity as a time-traveling woman.
Therefore, she apologized very obediently, and Song Yu was also attracted by her extraordinary appearance.
At this time, Jiang Qingluo came over and saw the two of them flirting with each other. He walked up to Ruan Hezhu and slapped her twice in anger.
This made Ruan Hezhu look even more charming. Her unreasonable attitude made Song Yu very angry, and he thought of breaking off the engagement.
This time, Jiang Qingluo's approach was unexpected. He actually came up with a way to retreat in order to advance.
Jiang Qingwan couldn't help but applaud her. This move was really brilliant.
If she was still the same Ruan Hezhu, she would probably have accepted her apology immediately.
But now Ruan Hezhu is a modern soul. She believes that everyone is equal, and Jiang Qingluo's apology is what she deserves.
She acted condescending, as if she was going to judge Jiang Qingluo. As her fiancé, Song Yu naturally had to speak out.
This also annoyed Ruan Hezhu.
This is the sequel. Jiang Qingwan only regretted that he was too young and could not go and see that wonderful scene.
I wonder if Ruan Hezhu, who made Song Yu lose face, can still enter his heart.
After all, Song Yu cared about face the most. He was dissatisfied with his sister because her arrogance and domineering behavior made him lose face.
She was looking forward to what would happen between the two of them.
Jiang Qingluo had not been quiet for a few days when Liu came again. As soon as she entered the room, she spoke in a tone as if she was going to accuse him.
"Sister-in-law, how come someone locked the warehouse in the backyard?"
"Inside that are all my dowry, as well as things given to me by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Is there anything wrong with me locking it?"
Yu Shulan looked indifferent. In the past, because they took care of her two children, she used her private warehouse as a public storage.
After listening to Jiang Qingwan's thoughts, she had someone investigate these days and found out that Liu treated that place as her own private warehouse and always took things from it to supplement her mother's family.
She had already moved away most of her dowry, which was so long that it shocked the entire capital.
Now that she knew her sinister intentions, she would never let her have her way.
"We are all family. Shouldn't everything be confiscated? We haven't split up yet, so why should we divide it so clearly? Didn't I use all my dowry?"
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Liu softened her tone and said comforting words.
"My sister-in-law's dowry is probably not even a third of mine, right? Now most of my dowry has been confiscated, isn't that enough?"
Hearing this, a sinister look flashed in Liu's eyes. She was of low status and her dowry was not much, but she felt a little embarrassed when it was said like this.
Before she could say anything, Yu Shulan continued, "I don't mind the confiscated dowry, but I want to keep the rest, and I also want to take back those storefronts."
"How can this be possible?"
Liu was shocked. For so many years, she had lived a comfortable life in the mansion, all thanks to Yu Shulan's dowry and the rewards from the palace.
If all of them were taken back now, how would the entire Jiang Mansion survive?
You can't just rely on the few shabby storefronts that the Jiang Mansion originally had. Those are located in remote areas and can't compare with Yu Shulan's prosperous shop.
Yu Shulan curled her lips. "Qingluo is already of marriageable age, and now I have Wanwan. These two daughters will both be given as dowries in the future. As a mother, I have to leave something for them."
A woman's dowry, apart from that given by the mansion, is mostly her mother's dowry passed down to her. It is reasonable for Yu Shulan to say so.
