Chapter 336 Bringing Humiliation Upon Oneself
However, as soon as the woman opened her mouth, Madam Min knew that she had misunderstood.
This woman was not at all as obedient and gentle as she appeared on the surface.
"Madam, my name is Jiang Yingluo, and I am Jiang Hongling's half-sister."
"I'm here today to seek justice for my sister."
"My sister is naive and easily trusts others. But that's no excuse for outsiders to bully her!"
Jiang Yingluo looked gentle and kind, but she spoke with righteous indignation, appearing to be a loyal protector of her sister.
As expected, Jiang Hongling raised her chin arrogantly.
See? People say she's annoying!
Hmph, there are plenty of people who like her and protect her!
Jiang Hongling's expression was too easy to guess; Madam Min only glanced at it before looking away.
She looked at Jiang Yingluo with a calm expression, "So, Miss Jiang came here specifically to stand up for your sister?"
“Exactly!” Jiang Yingluo nodded seriously and said softly, “My sister was wronged by the old lady. Shouldn’t the old lady apologize to my sister and then make compensation to her?”
The man who had once again become a bodyguard was so angry that his fists clenched.
This woman has no shame; she actually wants the old lady to apologize to that idiot Jiang Hongling?
Ah Shuang and Wen Xiu, who were standing nearby, also frowned as they listened.
An apology? Compensation?
Did they mishear?
How dare this woman come to our door and make such a request?
Is she here to seek justice for her sister? Or is she here specifically to embarrass the old lady?
Min Qiaoshi naturally saw through Jiang Yingluo's sinister intentions.
With a half-smile, Jiang Yingluo replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, "I heard that Miss Jiang the Second is engaged to the eldest grandson of the Min family's main branch."
Jiang Yingluo was taken aback, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and asked, "Why is the old lady asking this? Is it related to the matter of the old lady bullying my sister?"
"I hope the old lady can give my sister and me the respect we deserve."
"respect?"
Madam Min scoffed, "You sisters came uninvited, and didn't even bother to send a visiting card beforehand. Isn't that a sign of disrespect towards me?"
"If you don't respect me, how can I respect you?"
"Besides, I am the elder, and you are the younger generation?"
"You think you can talk about respect in front of me?"
"Ha! You think you're worthy?"
Jiang Yingluo's face paled, realizing she was in the wrong. She immediately stood up, curtsied, and said, "We were wrong about this. I apologize to the old lady."
After saying that, she changed her attitude and said firmly, "I was wrong, I admit it. But shouldn't we also take a stand on the old lady's bullying of my sister?"
"Attitude? What kind of attitude do you want?" Madam Min Qiao asked indifferently, taking a sip of tea.
Jiang Yingluo also saw the tea in Min Qiaoshi's hand, and then realized that she and her sister hadn't even had a cup of tea since they entered the room.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "They're from the capital, yet they don't know a thing or two about hospitality!"
Little did they know that Ah San, who was now in charge of tea, hadn't learned any of Ah Qi's other skills, but he had mastered the essence of serving tea to different people perfectly.
In her view, Jiang Hongling had left with resentment, and now she had returned uninvited with people, not even bringing a gift. It was obvious that she had ill intentions.
Such a person is naturally not worthy of drinking the old lady's tea!
Jiang Yingluo was naturally unaware of these matters.
She said arrogantly, "I hope the old lady can sincerely apologize to my sister for bullying her before."
"As for compensation... my sister seems to really like the two young maids who serve the old lady. I think their names are Zhen Huan or Wen Xiu. Why don't you give these two maids to my sister, old lady?"
"What does the old lady think of my suggestion?"
Upon hearing this, everyone except Madam Min couldn't hold back any longer.
"How dare you! You dare make the old lady apologize to you?" Ah Shuang was furious.
This woman dared to say "please apologize" to the old lady again! This is intolerable!
Just as A Shuang was speaking, Wen Xiu had already stepped forward and slapped Jiang Yingluo across the face.
By the time Jiang Yingluo realized what was happening, Wen Xiu, who had just finished hitting her, had already turned back and stood beside Min Qiaoshi.
Jiang Yingluo looked at Min Qiaoshi in disbelief, then at Wen Xiu. If it weren't for the clear pain on her face, she would have doubted that she was dreaming.
How dare this person hit her?
Moreover, how could this girl hit people so fast?
Just as Jiang Yingluo was covering her slapped cheek in disbelief, Jiang Hongling, sitting next to her, was gazing at Wen Xiu with starry eyes, her expression unusually excited.
No wonder she chose this young master! He's truly amazing!
Her expression made it clear that she didn't care at all about Jiang Yingluo being beaten.
Min Qiao was speechless for a while.
She didn't know whether to say this person was genuinely stupid or just heartless.
Min Qiao's gaze toward Jiang Hongling was so direct that Jiang Yingluo couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jiang Hongling as well.
Originally, she was just curious why, after she was beaten, Min Qiao Shi didn't look at her, but instead looked at Jiang Hong Ling beside her.
After seeing the expression on Jiang Hongling's face, she gritted her teeth and reminded her, "Sister, didn't you see I was beaten?"
It's one thing to not care about her, but to look at the person who hit her with such disgusting eyes!
That idiot! She's so angry!
Hearing this, Jiang Hongling glanced at her dismissively and said with a grin, "See? I told you so! My little master Wenxiu is amazing! Hitting you is just a matter of lifting a finger! You still said I was lying, but now you believe me, right?"
Jiang Hongling's words were completely nonsensical, which made Jiang Yingluo so angry that she turned red in the face and wished she could pry open Jiang Hongling's brain to see how much grass was inside!
"Jiang Hongling, I was beaten up, aren't you going to speak up for me?"
Jiang Yingluo finally lost her temper and angrily questioned, "I came all the way here to help you get justice as soon as I heard you were being bullied!"
"I'm so good to you, why can't you be just as good to me?"
Jiang Hongling curled her lips in disgust, "You came of your own accord. I didn't ask you to come."
She came along mainly because she had made a bold statement before she left, saying she would never come near them again to get in their way.
She regretted leaving, but she couldn't bring herself to approach him.
And just like that, when she got sleepy, someone handed her a pillow. So, she eagerly followed along.
As for Jiang Yingluo saying she'd get justice for her, well, just listen and forget about it. She doesn't care anyway.
"Sister, how could you do this?" Jiang Yingluo accused, her face full of grievance. "I came here all for you!"
"I've been beaten up! And you're not even helping me!"
How could you be so heartless? So cold-hearted?
"I'm your own sister!"
Jiang Yingluo became more and more agitated and aggrieved as she spoke, and finally couldn't help but cry.
However, Jiang Yingluo's accusations did not evoke Jiang Hongling's self-blame and guilt; instead, they made her glare at them unhappily.
She said in an annoyed tone, "Ugh, this is so annoying, can you shut up?"
“I know I’m your older sister and you’re my younger sister. I also know you’ve been wronged, and I should stand up for you.”
"But you asked for it when my master hit you, didn't you?"
