"Jiang Muxue, you really are worthy of being my good sister."

She walked into the inner room and saw a mess on the floor.

In the past few days, in order to make it easier for Liang Qingchen to read and pass the time, she asked someone to move a half-person-high shelf to the wall next to the bed, and placed all the books moved from the academy on it.

At this moment, the shelf had fallen to the ground, with classics, military books, and bamboo slips scattered all over the floor, and Jiang Muxue fell beside it, crying her eyes out.

It seemed that Liang Qingchen had pushed her away with force just now, and she bumped into the shelf, causing her and the bookshelf to fall to the ground.

When Jiang Muxue saw her come in, the expression on her face froze and she even forgot to cry.

Liang Qingchen saw her and said innocently, "Zhao Zhao, she insisted on getting close to me, so I had no choice but to..."

Jiang Muyu interrupted him and said in a calm tone: "You, troublemaker, shut up first."

Seeing that she looked unhappy, he immediately kept quiet.

Jiang Muyu lowered her eyes and looked down at Jiang Muxue lying on the ground with a cold expression, "I went to the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage for you today, but you sneaked into my backyard and openly undermined me. Is it because I treat you too well on weekdays that you can't put yourself in your proper place?"

"Sister... I didn't... I wasn't..." Jiang Muxue shook her head repeatedly, tears falling down like beads from a broken string, she looked so pitiful.

"I am the only one in this world...who is sincere to you." She imitated Jiang Muxue's tone, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

Jiang Muxue's face turned pale quickly, visibly.

"You know what? Even though I don't like you from the bottom of my heart, and even though I knew from the beginning that you had some little tricks up your sleeve, I never thought of harming you. After all, you are my sister in name only, and letting your life go on as it was is the greatest tolerance I can show you."

Although Jiang Muxue didn't fully understand, she was not stupid. She probably understood that Jiang Muyu was going to break up with her. She quickly grabbed the hem of Jiang Muyu's skirt, her face full of sorrow, "Sister, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I won't make the same mistake again."

Jiang Muyu looked at her, and suddenly a cunning look flashed across his eyes. He smiled and said, "Jiang Muxue, if I give you two choices now, one is to be the principal wife of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, and the other is to be the concubine of the Rui Wang Mansion, what will you choose?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muxue was stunned.

Jiang Muyu is actually so open-minded?

If these two choices were both good for her. Being the principal wife of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion would be glorious, but she knew that the Xuanping Marquis's wife didn't like her, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be a big problem in the future. The Xuanping Marquis's wife was still young, and she didn't know when she would be able to take charge after she married.

The backyard of Prince Rui's mansion is clean, and she and Jiang Muyu are sisters, so she doesn't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or sisters-in-law. Although she is only a concubine, she is the only concubine of Prince Rui, and she can be proud of it when she goes out. What's more... being able to be Liang Qingchen's woman, just thinking about it makes her fascinated.

Jiang Muyu saw her eyes rolling around, as if she was weighing the pros and cons. He laughed out loud, leaned over, pinched her chin hard and lifted it up, forcing her to look directly at him.

"You really chose it?"

Jiang Muyu felt pain and frowned in confusion, "Sister?"

"Jiang Muxue, this was the last choice I gave you just now, but you didn't seize the opportunity. If you had blurted out that you wanted to be the principal wife of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, I could have let you go, but now..." She sneered, "You really embody the fickleness of your mind to the fullest."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Muxue's expression also turned cold, but her face was still stained with tears and she spoke with a sobbing tone. She showed no momentum at all and was completely suppressed by Jiang Muyu.

"It's meaningless... You don't deserve such a good family as Xuanping Marquis Mansion!"

Then, she released the hand that was pinching Jiang Muxue's chin, and placed it on the top of her head, pressing down, and said, "Just wait and see."

After that, she called Xu Lang in and ordered, "Throw her out."

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Madam, where did you throw it?"

"On the nearby street, away from the gate of the mansion, to avoid bad luck."

"Yes." Xu Lang received the order and walked forward to drag Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Muxue struggled hard, "No! Jiang Muyu, you can't do this to me!"

However, the other party was too lazy to even look at her.

Another guard came in from outside the door, and together with Xu Lang, they dragged Jiang Muxue out. How could a delicate young lady like her be a match for these strong guards? No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get rid of the shackles, and was dragged out of Qingyu Courtyard.

"Jiang Muyu, I am your sister! You will be punished for doing this! Jiang Muyu..."

Her voice gradually faded away until it disappeared.

Jiang Muyu scratched his ears and said, "Noisy."

Liang Qingchen finally spoke, his tone somewhat cautious: "Can I speak now?"

Jiang Muyu sat on the imperial concubine couch, crossed her legs, and leaned back slightly, looking like a queen.

"You talk, I listen."

Liang Qingchen inexplicably felt that her aura was particularly intimidating at the moment, and swallowed his saliva, saying, "Today, I was reading in the house as usual, and Jiang Muxue suddenly came to visit. She said she came to discuss something important with you. I thought it might be about her marriage. You were not in the house at the time, and I couldn't chase her out, so I let her wait here."

"And then? Just wait until you get to bed?"

"Nonsense! She just came over and was knocked away by my palm."

"Oh, I see."

Liang Qingchen continued, "I didn't know she had feelings for me before, and I never cared about her in the past. I just thought it was ridiculous when I heard her say that."

Jiang Muyu nodded, "I know."

"Um?"

"I've known for a long time that she likes you."

Liang Qingchen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Muyu shrugged and said, "I don't think it's necessary. She doesn't pose any threat to me."

From the beginning to the end, she never regarded Jiang Muxue as an opponent.

Liang Qingchen pursed his lips and asked, "Are you really not jealous at all? What are you jealous of?"

"She is a woman who loves me. As my legal wife, don't you feel a little jealous?"

Jiang Muyu said nonchalantly: "I will never share a man with others in my life. If you really meet a woman who is very attractive and you are in love with her, I will choose to give up my position."

Liang Qingchen frowned, "You are so generous? Is it because you have no feelings for me?"

"You can't say I have no feelings at all." Jiang Muyu paused and thought for a moment.

Liang Qingchen's brows relaxed.

Then she said, "After all, we have been husband and wife for such a long time, so we still have a certain revolutionary friendship."

"Revolution? Friendship?" He didn't understand the first word, but he understood the second. "You just consider me a friend?"

"Otherwise?" Jiang Muyu smiled and said, "If I ask you to give up your life's mission or... your original plan for me, would you be willing?"

"No," he said without hesitation.

How could he just give up something he had persisted on for 16 years? How many people had paid the price of their lives in this process? How could he let all the efforts go to waste just for his own love?

Jiang Muyu put away the smile on his face, sighed, and said: "So, knowing that this relationship is impossible, why should I be so eager to get involved? Being jealous is the most useless thing in the world."

Having said that, she got up and walked out of the bedroom.
