The threatening meaning in these words is self-evident. Jiang Mingzhi is not a fool, so he can naturally hear it.
She turned around and stared at Jiang Yuzhen, who was confronting her with her chin raised. A playful smile slowly appeared on the corner of her lips, "This is really interesting."
Jiang Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully, "True gold fears no fire. He hasn't returned home yet, so why is Third Sister so anxious? Are you worried that your maternal family, with its flimsy foundation, won't be able to withstand an investigation?"
"Jiang Mingzhi, what do you mean!"
Jiang Yuzhen questioned angrily, unable to keep her composure for a moment, feeling a little flustered and guilty.
"Third sister, no matter what you say today, I will definitely take Chunhua back with me. As for you, you are still in mourning for your mother. If you don't want to attract rumors, I advise you to stay calm and do your best to take care of your mother's affairs after her death."
After saying this, he sighed softly and said with some emotion: "Your mother's life, giving birth to you...it was really not easy!"
That meaningful look stung Jiang Yuzhen like a thorn in her back. It wasn't until Jiang Mingzhi got on the carriage and disappeared from her sight that she covered her ears and screamed, "Ah—what does she mean! When have I ever brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion? It's Jiang Mingzhi, who has been stupid and foolish since childhood, who has brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion. Her mother has had a hard time!"
Jiang Yuzhen frantically pulled the maid beside her and asked, but the maid didn't dare to answer. Jiang Yuzhen didn't dare, so she stepped forward and stretched out her arms to block the carriage.
"Jiang Mingzhi, if you want to go back, you have to push over me!"
He looked as if he was determined to die together with Jiang Mingzhi.
During the time he spent in the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Mingzhi had never seen Jiang Yuzhen act so courageous.
The coachman stopped just as he was about to whip the horse, unable to make up his mind for a moment. He waited for Jiang Mingzhi's instructions with an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhen was secretly proud. She just couldn't believe that no matter how powerful Jiang Mingzhi was, he would dare to let anything happen to her, the third daughter of the marquis's family.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Mingzhi's voice came from the carriage: "Since the third young lady of Jinyi Marquis's Mansion is determined to die, then let her wish come true."
"Jiang Mingzhi!" Jiang Yuzhen was stunned again after being stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. What did Jiang Mingzhi want to do!
Jiang Mingzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the coachman's trembling hands. How could he really dare to drive the carriage over the third young lady!
No matter what, the third young lady is also the young mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but the eldest young lady is not easy to offend. The eldest young lady's maternal grandfather, the Wang family, can easily crush the third young lady's maternal grandfather, the Feng family, like crushing an ant.
The coachman was now in a dilemma, with no way out. He only regretted that he did not find an excuse to take a leave today, so as to avoid the gods fighting and the little devil suffering!
"What are you afraid of? Get out of the way."
Jiang Mingzhi looked calm. He stepped forward to take the whip, as if he was going to do it himself.
"Miss... this is absolutely not allowed!"
The coachman knelt beside the shaft and looked at Jiang Mingzhi as if he had seen the King of Hell.
"Jiang Mingzhi, who are you trying to scare? Come here if you dare. Even if I die today, I will definitely protect the reputation of the Marquisate. I will never let a stupid village woman ruin the reputation of our Marquisate!"
Jiang Mingzhi sneered at the pretense, "I think you care more about the reputation of the Marquisate than father does. Why don't you go back and ask father to pass the title of Marquisate to you in the future?"
At this time, Jiang Yuzhen no longer cared about arguing with Jiang Mingzhi. She just stiffened her neck and wondered in her heart whether Jiang Mingzhi would really attack her.
Feng Xianzhi, the head of Fengjia Village, also recognized Jiang Yuzhen. He relied on the Feng family for his livelihood, and seeing the two sisters from the Jinyi Marquis's Mansion clashing, how could he just stand by and watch? If this really happened on the farm, under his nose, his position as head of the village would be over!
"Oh, my dear ladies, please don't let the quarrel make you angry. It's just a small matter, a small matter!"
As she spoke, she urged her maid, "The autumn heat is very fierce. Why don't you quickly invite the Third Miss to rest in the house? Have someone go to the village to buy some good wine and food and treat her well."
Jiang Yuzhen was determined and refused to take the ladder handed to her by the old village head. She just stood there and no one could pull her up.
Jiang Mingzhi had never seen anyone who wanted to die so much. She didn't think that just because this was the Marquis' Mansion, everyone would spoil her, right?
Without any further ado, he whipped the horse without hesitation. The horse raised its hooves and galloped forward. Jiang Yuzhen's pupils suddenly shrank in disbelief.
A cloud of dust rose up, and there was no mess as imagined. Jiang Yuzhen fell to the ground with her hair disheveled - at the critical moment, she still dodged.
Jiang Mingzhi understood, but without slowing down, his eyes swept over Jiang Yuzhen with amusement.
Everyone in the Feng family was sweating with worry, but when they saw Jiang Yuzhen finally escaped, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Chunhua in the carriage was so frightened that her eyes widened. After a long while, she blinked and asked Jiang Mingzhi who had returned to the carriage: "Eldest sister...just now...you didn't really want to run over the third young lady, did you?"
She still had self-knowledge. As a poor woman, she could never compare to the beautiful and unmarried Third Miss in the Marquis's Mansion.
Like everyone else, she suspected that Jiang Mingzhi was merely trying to scare the Third Young Miss. However, Jiang Mingzhi dismissed the idea: "She acted recklessly, startled the horse, and accidentally died under its hooves. What does that have to do with me?"
Chunhua was stunned, so... if the Third Miss didn't move out of the way, would today be a day of bloodshed?
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a deep fear of Jiang Mingzhi in her heart. She didn't know how cruel one had to be to kill a living person at will.
If it were someone else, Chunhua would probably keep her distance from him and would not dare to get close to him again. But the ruthless and ruthless eldest daughter of the Jiang family in front of her was not someone else. It was this person who did not care about human life and saved her from the hands of Feng Sanniang and Feng Zhangshi an hour ago.
Speaking of which, the argument between Miss Jiang and the Third Miss today was also because of her. Although Chunhua was afraid of Jiang Mingzhi, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Eldest sister, if something really happened to the Third Miss today, would something happen to you?"
Jiang Mingzhi was a little tired at this time, but he was still surprised by Chunhua's courage. With Chunhua's experience, it would take her some time to recover from what she had experienced today. He didn't expect that she could calm down so quickly and even care about her situation.
Looking at the face in front of him that looked 50% similar to his own, Jiang Mingzhi smiled, took out a water bag from the corner of the carriage and handed it to Chunhua.
"Drink some water."
After Chunhua nervously took the water bag, she slowly spoke, "It's actually very simple. The Marquis' Mansion has only three legitimate daughters: you, me, and the Third Miss. If the Third Miss dies today, there will only be two daughters left in the Marquis' Mansion."
"If the Marquis wants to abandon me, the eldest daughter, then it will be difficult for the Marquisate to form an alliance. Besides, the power of my maternal grandfather's family cannot be underestimated. It is not a problem for them to protect you and me. In this case, the Marquis will have to weigh the pros and cons. Then, cutting the loss in time will become the wisest decision."
Chunhua didn't know the situation of the Marquis' Mansion, nor did she understand the aristocratic families. She knew even less about the Wang family. She only had a vague understanding of what she heard, but she could still hear the tremendous power of her maternal grandfather's family from Jiang Mingzhi's few words.
This was the first time in her life that she got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of power.
