If she really had a simple mind, she would not have deliberately approached Feng. If she had a deep mind, why would she be so stupid as to listen to the instigation of Feng and her daughter and attack herself?
This sister is not as simple as she seems.
Jiang Mingzhi had this idea a long time ago, but now it seems that this idea is correct.
"Eldest sister, do you want to go and pay your respects to your uncle and aunt?"
Jiang Yushu looked at Jiang Mingzhi with a confused look on his face. "It's just that my uncle and aunt returned to Beijing without telling us. Wouldn't it be too abrupt for us to go to their house?"
"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Mingzhi looked reluctant and changed the subject: "I said I'd find you a mistress, but I've been delayed by various things lately. Come with me to see my father later and tell him."
"I'm afraid my father won't agree." Jiang Yushu's eyes were filled with tears. "Our family is in a difficult situation now. We don't even have money to make clothes for the servants, so how can we afford to hire a female teacher for me?"
Jiang Mingzhi felt as if she had something else to say, so he took a sip of tea and waited for what to say next.
Sure enough, Jiang Yushu sighed softly, and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Eldest sister, why not use mother's dowry to pay for this money? This way, you won't be criticized by others. After all... after all, this female teacher was hired just for me."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and added, "If my eldest sister feels that it's inappropriate, why don't we divide up Mother's dowry earlier? After all, my eldest sister will probably be getting married in the next two years, so I can pay for the money for the female groom from my share."
"Your concerns are not without reason. It's just my mother's dowry..." Jiang Mingzhi hesitated, looking at Jiang Yushu inconspicuously, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
The mother has only two daughters, her and her sister. If it is to be divided, it is very simple. Each of them can take half. It is fair and just, and no one will suffer any loss.
However, no matter how short of money she was, she had never thought of using her deceased mother's things. She just wanted to hire a female teacher. However, Jiang Yushu thought of this, which made Jiang Mingzhi think more.
"Eldest sister, what's wrong with what I said?" Jiang Yushu became uneasy when he saw his elder sister's expression changed a little.
Jiang Mingzhi smiled and said, "How could that be? It's just that mother's dowry is quite large, and it will take time to divide it. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will take care of it for you. If the family doesn't give me the money to hire a female teacher, I will also bear the responsibility."
These words were beyond Jiang Yushu's expectations. After a moment of silence, she nodded slightly, knowing that if she brought up the issue of dividing her mother's dowry again, it would probably arouse her elder sister's suspicion.
But at dinner time, Feng saw Jiang Yushu returning empty-handed and she was so angry that she threw a bowl of hot porridge at him.
"Useless thing, if I knew you were so stupid, I shouldn't have brought you into the mansion in the first place!"
"Mother……"
"Don't call me mother. You don't deserve to call me mother. If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death on the streets!"
Jiang Yushu clenched his teeth, suppressed the soreness in the corners of his eyes, and did not shed tears.
She was not the real Jiang Yushu, she was just an imposter. As the third daughter of the Jiang family, she had enjoyed the blessings that did not belong to her, so she dared not speak up for herself.
Not long after returning to Bian Jing from Dongjun, she learned about her life experience. At that time, she woke up from her dream that she was a daughter of a wealthy family. She had suspected more than once whether it was a lie made up by Feng to control her. Until she saw the face of the real second lady of the Jiang family, which was so similar to her eldest sister, she no longer dared to doubt it.
If she wants to keep her current status, she has to obey her stepmother in everything. She has to do whatever her stepmother says, even if it means harming others.
"Madam, please give me a few days. I will mention this to my elder sister again."
Feng waved her hands impatiently. Forget it. That little bitch Jiang Mingzhi is no longer the same girl she used to be. If Jiang Yushu behaved too obviously, she would be exposed.
She gritted her teeth and for the sake of her daughter, she could only use her own dowry to deal with the current situation. After all, Wang's half of the dowry was three times her total dowry. When Jiang Yushu got that half of the dowry in the future, she could do whatever she wanted with it. It was enough to buy Zhen'er a decent dowry.
"Okay, if you're fine, go down. You don't have to come here to visit me morning and evening these days, lest Jiang Mingzhi notice anything."
Jiang Yushu responded, knelt on the ground and bowed to take her leave. After taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped and thought for a while. She decided to tell Jiang Mingzhi that she was planning to hire a female teacher for her.
"Oh?" Feng was quite surprised. "Your elder sister is really kind to you! I just wonder what her expression would be if she knew that her younger sister was a fake prince?"
At this point, Feng suddenly had an idea. "It's not difficult to divide the dowry. I have an idea."
Jiang Yushu looked up, and Feng said slowly, "Once you get married, you will naturally be able to take away Wang's dowry."
This is much safer than other ideas.
"lady!"
When Jiang Yushu heard this, a bad idea came to her mind. Feng kept her just to get Wang's dowry with a legitimate reason. Now Feng was in a hurry for the money. If she was married off in a hurry, how could she be a good family?
For the first time, Jiang Yushu felt such panic in his heart. He knelt on the ground with a plop, like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, and choked with sobs, "Madam, please let me go. I will definitely listen to you and help you get my mother's dowry!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I would marry you off casually. After all, you are the legitimate daughter of our marquis's mansion." Feng said with a smile, but it made Jiang Yushu feel cold in his heart.
Feng came forward, helped her up personally, and then looked her up and down as if she were looking at a piece of merchandise.
"Time flies by so fast. You're almost old enough to get married." He patted Jiang Yushu's face, the girl's skin was radiant. "Although she doesn't look like Jiang Mingzhi, she's also a girl who was raised on delicacies. How could she be any worse looking?"
Listening to Feng's incoherent words, Jiang Yushu's heart seemed to sink into an icy cave and he couldn't help trembling.
Feng had never treated her as a human being, and neither had Jiang Yuzhen. If Feng really asked her to marry a bastard, she would have no room to resist, otherwise her identity would be exposed by Feng, and then she would truly fall into the mud and be trampled upon by anyone.
"Okay, go back first. I will take care of these things."
Jiang Yushu left Qinghui Courtyard in a daze, and almost tripped over the steps several times. Xuezhi watched him and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Second Miss, are you okay?"
Jiang Yushu shook her head and looked up at the sky. The last ray of light from the setting sun had been lost, and endless darkness was about to come, just like her future.
