The Second Prince glanced at the woman lying on the ground and sneered, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so desperate. I only sent a servant to deliver a letter."
An uproar erupted around them.
The onlookers kept glancing at the woman, making her hide her face and shrink into a ball.
I'll break your legs!
Jiang Jingtian forcefully shook off his second brother, rushed over, and kicked the woman hard!
They've really gone all out!
With a loud "crack," the woman's leg was broken!
"ah--"
The woman let out a scream. Seeing that Jiang Jingtian was about to hit her again, she was so frightened that she scrambled to her feet and begged for mercy, "Young master—have mercy!"
Jiang Jingtian grabbed the woman's hair, his eyes wide with shock. Although she was plump and dressed in white satin with jewelry, her face, painted red and green, was definitely not Jiang Jiaojiao!
"Ouch—"
"What's going on? Why is it so lively?"
A lazy, teasing voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Jiaojiao entered wearing a coral-red silk dress, with a red-gold hairpin swaying on her head, looking both gorgeous and noble. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, a delicate nose, a fair face, red lips, and skin as white as snow. A coral belt with jade pendants was wrapped around her waist.
What an incredibly wealthy young lady!
What are you doing here?!
"Sister...Sister?"
Jiang Liu and Jiang Xue spoke at the same time.
Jiang Jiaojiao also looked curious, "What are you all doing here?"
Then, turning to the kneeling woman begging for mercy, he said, "Ah Lian? Didn't I tell you to come back quickly after delivering the letter? Half an hour has passed and you haven't shown up. Ouch—your leg?"
Jiang Jiaojiao was startled. "Big brother—did you interrupt him?"
"Did she do something wrong?"
"She's just a maid. If she makes you angry, you can just sell her off. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
She then bowed slightly to the Second Prince and said, "Since Your Highness is also here, then I will explain things to you clearly in front of everyone..."
"Don't even mention concubines or secondary wives, even a lawfully married wife, I don't care for her."
"Seventh Prince is as handsome as an orchid and as elegant as a jade tree, surpassing even Pan An in appearance. I fell in love with him at first sight, and now he is the only one in my heart. Second Prince... please stop daydreaming."
Jiang Jiaojiao looked at the Second Prince with disdain and contempt.
Wishful thinking?!
Is he delusional?
Is this woman crazy?
The second prince's face instantly turned ashen, and the onlookers erupted in uproar.
"She...she is the real Miss Jiang?"
"How could that be? Isn't Miss Jiang fat and ugly? How come... how come she looks like a fairy princess?"
"Wasn't this supposed to be Miss Jiang's room?"
Which one is real and which one is fake?
This sudden reversal caught them off guard. It turned out that the person who was embracing the Second Prince's servant was not Miss Jiang at all, but Miss Jiang's maid.
hehe--
This servant and his maid are truly audacious!
Jiang Xue's face turned pale. "I'm so glad you're alright, sister. I was worried..."
"Did you think it was me?"
Jiang Jiaojiao smiled brightly, "Could it be because of A-Lian's clothes and jewelry? They really didn't suit me, so I gave them to her. A-Lian is from my sister's courtyard. How could you mistake her for me?"
Jiang Jiaojiao looked at the plump young master Kou beside her, "You must be young master Kou, right? I've always heard my sister mention that you are the son of the Minister of Revenue, and that you are very generous and have the widest network of connections. Seeing you today... it's true!"
Jiang Xue immediately protested, "I...I didn't."
"No?"
Jiang Jiaojiao feigned surprise, "If not, why would you bring your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother to meet Young Master Kou today?"
"Could it be—"
"I'm not here to curry favor with Young Master Kou, but... specifically to catch them in the act of adultery?"
"What's so great about catching a pair of servants committing adultery?"
Jiang Jiaojiao's voice was loud and clear, filled with doubt.
Those who can afford to dine at Fanlou are all scions of wealthy and noble families; they are either shrewd or have risen through the ranks of the elite.
Considering the rumors that had circulated from General Weiyuan's mansion, their gaze towards Jiang Xue changed...
It's true that the two Jiang sisters don't get along, but as for who bullies whom or who schemes against whom, they'll have to think about it some more.
Miss Jiang is not as ugly and stupid as rumored, and Miss Jiang the Second... is probably not as gentle, kind, or flawless as she is.
Young Master Kou also felt a bit uncomfortable.
Whether Jiang Xue was after his money and connections or using him to catch her sister cheating, it wasn't a simple matter. And looking at Jiang Xue's pitiful appearance, she wasn't so charming anymore.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Jiaojiao—
Her face was as fair as a peach blossom, bright as the sun, radiant and straightforward, and she dared to love and hate, which did not match the rumors.
Jiang Jiaojiao looked at A-Lian, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and said, "A-Lian, you came from my sister's courtyard. For my sister's reputation, I cannot tolerate you today—"
"Men—tie him up and sell him to slave traders!"
Ah Lian kept kowtowing.
"Please spare me, young lady! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me this time, young lady!"
Jiang Jiaojiao feigned hesitation, "You've tarnished my second sister's reputation so badly, even if I were to be soft-hearted and forgive you, my second sister would never forgive you..."
Ah Lian's mind was buzzing. "Second Miss, spare me! I did exactly as you told me to!"
Jiang Xue was terrified, "You—"
But Jiang Jiaojiao's voice was even faster, "What nonsense are you talking about—did your sister send you to seduce someone? If you don't explain yourself clearly today and clear your sister's name, I won't let you off the hook!"
Ah Lian was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly.
Before Jiang Xue could stop her, she spilled the beans: "It was the Second Miss who told me to put a sleeping potion on the Eldest Miss's clothes. She said that if the Eldest Miss and the Second Prince got together, she would let me serve the Second Young Master in his room!"
"This servant did everything according to the Second Miss's instructions!"
The person she was holding just now was the Second Young Master, so how did he turn into this strange servant?
You could hear a pin drop all around.
His gaze darted back and forth between Jiang Xue and Jiang Jiaojiao. Oh wow, the truth is out!
This Miss Jiang is no ordinary person!
Jiang Xue swayed, and it was only with the support of the Second Prince that she regained her balance. Pointing at A-Lian, she cried uncontrollably, "You—why did you hurt me?"
