The next morning.
On the ground in front of Jiang Deng's bed, there was a layer of powdered spirit stones. After absorbing ten low-grade spirit stones, she had successfully entered the first level of Qi Refining Realm and became a true cultivator!
“Gurgle…”
Jiang Deng touched her hungry stomach. Oh yes, she had not yet started her fast and had to eat.
Just as she was about to get up and wash, the door opened from the outside, and the three maids she had seen yesterday walked in laughing, carrying washbasins and towels.
"Miss, you should get up and wash up."
"Miss, we'll put your hair into a bun so you can go with your new son-in-law to serve tea to the head of the family."
"Hey? Where's the new son-in-law?"
Jiang Dengtou said with a cold expression: "Dead."
The maids rolled their eyes and immediately revealed an expression of understanding. It must be that the new son-in-law was too rude last night and annoyed the eldest lady, so he was kicked out of bed early in the morning...
Jiang Deng was too lazy to explain. After a simple wash and change into light clothes, she forced the maids to comb her hair into a neat high ponytail and strode out of the yard.
Dining room.
As Jiang Deng walked to the door, a fleshy ball hugged his thigh.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a little boy, but he was too fat. The flesh on his cheeks squeezed his eyes into a slit. Instead of looking cute like a child, he looked ferocious.
Isn’t this her cheap brother, Jiang Yuanbao?
Back then, her biological mother died of complications during childbirth of her second child, so her father brought his concubine back home to make her his legal wife. Thus, Jiang Deng had an adopted older brother and younger brother.
Jiang Yuanbao is now eight years old and can't read a single word. His favorite thing to do is to bully his half-sister.
But they were all childish tricks, such as scaring her with insects, accusing her of bullying children, and then going to her parents to complain.
What the hell is going on this time?
Under Jiang Deng's gaze, Jiang Yuanbao reached out and blew his nose, then opened his palm and wiped all the sticky yellow snot on Jiang Deng's skirt.
Jiang Yuanbao smiled broadly, "Sister, do you like the gift Yuanbao gave you?"
Jiang Deng's forehead veins throbbed, "...Sister likes it so much, I like it so much that I can't help but want to give you a gift too."
"A gift? Yuanbao wants it. Give it to Yuanbao quickly! Otherwise, Yuanbao will go to his mother to complain!"
Jiang Deng sneered, "Okay, sister will give you a slap on the butt right now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her foot and kicked Jiang Yuanbao, who was holding her legs, away.
“Waaaaaah!”
Jiang Yuanbao fell on his butt and sat on the ground, crying loudly.
Soon, Wang, dressed in gold and silver, came rushing over with a group of maids and servants. She held Jiang Yuanbao in her arms and glared at Jiang Deng fiercely, "Jiang Deng! You little bitch, how dare you bully my precious son!"
Jiang Deng opened his eyes innocently and asked, "Auntie, is there a possibility that he is bullying me?"
"He's just a kid, how could he bully you? It's obvious that you're bullying him because you're older than Yuanbao. How shameless!"
"Then isn't it even more shameless for Auntie to bully a junior like me without asking any questions?" Jiang Deng retorted with a smile.
Wang was so angry that her face turned red. In the past, no matter how she targeted Jiang Deng, Jiang Deng would just wipe away her tears and didn't even dare to speak loudly.
Now she's suddenly become so sharp-tongued, is it because she thinks she has a man backing her up after marrying Lin Jun? It really makes her mad!
“That’s enough!”
Footsteps followed, and a young man in his twenties walked up to Wang. Although he was quite handsome, his eyes, like Wang's, were narrow and foxy, giving people an uncomfortable feeling of being sinister and vicious.
"Jiang Deng, you are so aggressive, don't you know what respect for elders and juniors is?"
Looking at the young man, memories flooded back into Jiang Deng's mind.
Jiang Yuanyi, her half-brother, was only one year older than her, but he was the one who bullied her the most in the Jiang family.
When she was four years old, she was pushed into a pool by Jiang Yuanyi. She had a high fever for three days and almost died. When she was five years old, she was used as his horse all day long. She was too thin and small to carry the fat Jiang Yuanyi, so she often fell and got bruised. When she was six years old, in order to please her brother, she gave up the position of young master that should have belonged to her.
But instead of being grateful, Jiang Yuanyi's bullying of her became even worse!
Haha, I just came to have breakfast, and all my enemies gathered together...
Jiang Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, "Brother, since you know the hierarchy of elders and juniors, how come you don't know the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children?"
The hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children?
Although Jiang Yuanyi is the eldest of the three children of the head of the family, Jiang Chongliang, he was born to his concubine, Wang. Later, Wang was made the legal wife, but this was still a hurdle that he could not overcome.
I didn’t expect… that Jiang Deng would bring up this matter and humiliate me in public!
Jiang Yuanyi clenched his fists, his eyes glaring viciously as he said, "Jiang Deng, don't force me to hit a woman!"
"What a coincidence! As a woman, I don't mind fighting with men."
Jiang Deng rubbed her wrists, and the bones crackled. What a joke! Would she be afraid of a weak scholar?
Looking at Jiang Deng, whose every move was very abnormal, Jiang Yuanyi's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty. Is this still her timid and weak sister? How come she seems like a different person...
"Ahem."
Just as the brother and sister were about to fight, a man's cough was heard from the side. A middle-aged man dressed in silk and satin, who looked somewhat similar to Jiang Yuanyi, walked over. Everyone fell silent wherever he passed.
