Seeing her elder brother's changing expression, Jiang Xue became even more obedient. "The expenses in this mansion are not what they used to be. Such good pastries... are rare these days. Brother, are you sure you don't want to try some?"
Jiang Jingtian was taken aback. "Did Jiang Jiaojiao steal your things again?"
"I'll get revenge for you, big brother!"
Jiang Xue watched Jiang Jingtian's angry back as a smug smile curled at the corner of her lips.
This brain.
He deserved to become her stepping stone.
Jin Yu Yuan.
Jiang Jiaojiao ate delicious pastries, A Yuan massaged her legs, A Xiang brewed the finest fragrant tea, and the other maids were also busy.
He showed Jiang Jiaojiao all sorts of clothes and jewelry in his hands.
"this--"
"this--"
"And that one—"
When Jiang Jingtian and Jiang Xue stepped into the courtyard, Jiang Jiaojiao was selecting various clothes and jewelry sent by her mother. The items she had just pointed to were all her favorite plain colors.
Jiang Xue thought Jiang Jiaojiao had changed, but it turns out she's still the same. Did she think that by copying her style of dress, she could become herself?
That's ridiculous.
Who knew—
Jiang Jiaojiao finished pointing and said, "I want everything except these few!"
Jiang Xue's smile froze on her lips.
Jiang Jingtian's face immediately fell when he saw Jiang Jiaojiao's extravagant appearance.
have a look--
That's the difference!
The second sister finally got some good food and thought of bringing it to herself, but what about her own sister!
They're living the high life, and nobody remembers their older brother!
And these extravagant decorations in the courtyard must have been moved from Songheyuan and Lanyuan a few days ago.
Jiang Jiaojiao sat under the shade of a tree with her back to them, picking out exquisite jewelry and eating the delicate pastries that A Xiang personally handed to her. She sighed that life was so wonderful and that she must have been out of her mind in her past life to have been so foolish.
Then a thunderclap rang out, "Jiang Jiaojiao—"
Jiang Jiaojiao shuddered, choking on the pastry. She was so frightened that she had to drink water to catch her breath before she could recover. "You scared me to death!"
Jiang Jingtian felt guilty for a second, but seeing Jiang Xue's eyes brimming with tears, he roared righteously, "Did you bully Second Sister again?!"
"You're not behaving like a proper elder sister at all! Give the things back right now!"
"And these clothes, jewelry, pastries, tea—"
Jiang Xue tugged pitifully at Jiang Jingtian's sleeve, "Big brother... these are all my sister's things..."
Jiang Jiaojiao knew from this situation that this idiot had definitely been provoked.
My temples are throbbing.
What was wrong with her that she insisted on agreeing to the ancestor's request to save these two reckless fools? Anyway, they were both willing to be hurt and this innocent little lotus flower.
So he leaned back lazily and said, "Even my second sister knows that these things are mine! They were given to me by my dear mother! Does my eldest brother like to steal what others love?"
"So, brother, would you like this silk skirt? Or this gold hairpin?"
"I'm reluctantly giving this to my elder brother, but I'm afraid he... won't be able to wear it."
Jiang Jingtian: "..."
"You—look at yourself! You're not at all like a daughter of a noble family! You spend all day staring at these mundane things, and you're completely ignorant of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."
"vulgarian?"
Jiang Jiaojiao laughed, "Everything you wear, everything you eat, drink, and use, wasn't it all bought with these mundane things?"
"you--"
"What do you mean, 'you'? I think it's these mundane things that have filled you up too much. You like playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so why don't you go and learn them yourself?"
"You're just arguing unreasonably!"
"I'm arguing unreasonably? If you're so capable, then don't eat, drink, or spend any more money!"
"I—I want—"
"Sever sibling ties? Fine!"
Jiang Jiaojiao readily agreed, then glanced disdainfully at Jiang Chengzhu's arm, "Can you lift the cauldron now?"
Jiang Jingtian turned and left.
He's going to lift the tripod right now; he's determined to sever his sibling relationship with Jiang Jiaojiao.
Jiang Jiaojiao rolled her eyes.
whispering sound--
With that kind of brain and that kind of mouth, she still argues with herself. Does she think she's been drifting around for nothing all these years?
Jiang Jiaojiao naturally knew who had started the incident.
Youyou glanced at Jiang Xue and said, "Second sister, you should save this kind of provocation for when you're dealing with someone else."
"You won't be shortchanged on your share of the allowance and dowry as the second young lady of the Marquis's mansion. Don't even think about anything more!"
"Whether you marry the second prince or the fifth prince, or become the empress, depends entirely on your own abilities..."
A pair of phoenix eyes pierced through Jiang Xue's heart. Upon hearing the words "Fifth Prince" and "Empress," Jiang Xue's face instantly turned deathly pale, as if all her secrets had been seen through in that single glance. Her lips trembled, "Sister... I didn't..."
Whether it is true or not, you and I both know the answer.
"Goodbye, and don't bother seeing me off."
Jiang Jiaojiao was too lazy to play the guessing game with her, so she turned her back and lay down leisurely to continue picking out clothes and jewelry.
Jiang Xue looked at the exquisite and gorgeous clothes and jewelry, her eyes filled with deep jealousy. Thinking of Jiang Jiaojiao's meaningful warnings, she turned pale and left in tears.
What a delicate, innocent, and pitiful little white flower!
A-Yuan whispered in Jiang Jiaojiao's ear, "Miss—the Second Young Master is outside..."
Wearing a long robe and with a gloomy face, Jiang Lingtian stood under the artificial hill outside the courtyard, staring at Jiang Jiaojiao from afar with a somber expression.
They waited a full fifteen minutes before slowly leaving.
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched.
What, are you trying to kill me with your eyes?
Oh--
With that gloomy look all the time, it's no wonder he died in despair.
"A-Yuan—go and fetch that medical book!"
Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a case study in the medical book she had obtained that treated this kind of depression.
As expected.
Jiang Jiaojiao flipped through the files for a while and found the medical record. It was exactly the same as her second brother's. He had repeatedly failed the imperial examinations, was depressed and frustrated, and was unable to sleep or eat. In the end, he couldn't even get out of bed.
Prescription medication—Xiaoyao Wan?
The name itself sounds reliable!
Jiang Jiaojiao asked A Yuan to prepare paper and pen and copied down the prescription. "Take it and make it into pills. Send them to the Second Young Master and say... say it's the 'Stretch Leg and Stare Eye Pill,' one pill a day, wishing him to become an immortal soon!"
A Yuan's eyes widened.
This... can the Second Young Master eat this?
As Jiang Jiaojiao flipped through the book, she ate the pastries that A Yuan handed her, her eyes squinting happily. This was such a blissful life!
The prescriptions recorded in this book are also quite interesting!
For example, for someone who has fainted from drowning, press firmly on their chest and give them air through their mouth...
Even Jiang Jiaojiao, a complete novice, couldn't put the book down.
The book contains many difficult and complicated emergency medical cases, and the second half even includes some prescriptions for drugs and poisons.
No wonder Jiang Xue suddenly gained the reputation of a medical immortal in her previous life. She grew up with Jiang Xue and had no idea that Jiang Xue knew medicine.
If she hadn't had someone keep an eye on Lanyuan, she wouldn't have known that Jiang Xue had asked Jiang Liu to find this medical book.
Could it be that her ancestors also appeared to her in a dream?
That shouldn't be happening!
If her ancestors appear in her dream, it will definitely be a nightmare, and hopefully it will scare her to death.
Jiang Xue has some strange things about her.
Although Jiang Jiaojiao wanted to give up, she still had to guard against people harming her. Although Jiang Xue seemed innocent in her previous life, the entire Marquis's Mansion and the Jin family became her stepping stones. Since Jiang Jiaojiao wanted to live, she naturally couldn't let Jiang Xue have her way again.
I slept well all night.
Jiang Jiaojiao dreamed that she held a medical book and practiced medicine to save lives!
She also cured the Seventh Prince's ailment, which made him insist on repaying her with his body, and he pounced on her on the spot—
Then--
She woke up!
Jiang Jiaojiao opened her eyes, her mind filled with that "stunningly beautiful face".
"Fairy!"
