Marquis Wenning lowered his eyes, showing no sign of rage. Instead, he spoke in a sorrowful tone:
"Everything that happened before was done by those unfilial creatures when I was not home. Now that I'm back, I will naturally not let anyone bully Cao'er anymore. She is the darling of our Jiang family."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiancao wanted to spray the tea in his mouth directly onto Marquis Wen Ning's face.
Because what he said was so hypocritical, so shameless, and so disgusting to her.
But now she is a prince, she has to have the airs of a prince and be more polite.
"The Marquis said that all the bullying Jiang Xiancao suffered happened when you were not at home. I'm afraid that's not true, right?"
Jiang Xiancao said coldly:
"You went to Jinan Prefecture to provide disaster relief a month ago, and Jiang Xiancao returned to the Marquis' Mansion half a year ago. From the first day she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Huaizhu started to attack her.
The five young masters of your Jiang family originally treated her well, but because of Jiang Huaizhu's few words, it wasn't long before they helped Jiang Huaizhu to commit atrocities. Without their support, Jiang Huaizhu wouldn't be able to bully her so unscrupulously.
In the entire marquis's mansion, no one was unaware that the five young masters hated the second young lady, and even the servants dared to make things difficult for her.
You, the self-proclaimed master of the family, don't you know these things?"
Marquis Wen Ning was very displeased when he heard that she knew all the secrets of the Jiang family.
The daughter he found from the countryside was indeed ignorant and petty.
She just suffered a little injustice at home, but she ran out and told everyone about it, letting outsiders accuse her family of treating her unfairly. What a vicious mind she has.
"Ahem, these are all matters in the backyard. In the Marquis's Mansion, they are all taken care of by the female relatives. I don't usually ask about these things."
Hearing Marquis Wen Ning shirk his responsibility with such a casual manner, Jiang Xiancao laughed sarcastically:
"Since whether Second Miss Jiang lives well at home and whether she is bullied is a woman's business and has nothing to do with you, then what's the point of her having you as her father?"
Marquis Wen Ning was stunned by what she said. After a moment of silence, he said:
"I really don't understand where the prince gets so angry. You are also a man, you should understand my situation. As the head of the family and a pillar of the court, I have so many important things to do all day long. How can I worry about these mundane affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?
If I hadn't worked hard outside to support the entire mansion, a woman like Cao'er who had to rely on me to survive would have been living on the streets long ago, right? "
Jiang Xiancao listened to his righteous words, and she felt only deep indifference towards her so-called biological father.
Yes, he is a man of great stature, and he has more important things to take care of.
As for whether his daughter is dead or alive, it is not worth his worry at all.
She shouldn't have placed any expectations on someone like him.
So she didn't want to argue with Marquis Wen Ning, and just asked mockingly:
"Since the affairs of the backyard are not your responsibility, then why are you taking her home now? Do you want to continue to abandon her to these people who don't care about her and let her fend for herself in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Marquis Wen Ning said in a deep voice:
"I didn't know about these things before, but now that I know, of course I will intervene and make sure everyone treats Cao'er well! As a father, how can I not compensate her and let her continue to suffer?"
Jiang Xiancao looked at him coldly for a long time, chuckled and said:
"So, Lord Marquis, you really want to stop and compensate Miss Jiang. You're such a kind father. I thought you were trying to restore the Jiang family's reputation by pretending to take her back because of the public outrage over the five young masters abusing their own sister."
Marquis Wen Ning's thoughts were exposed by her so ruthlessly. Even if he was thick-skinned, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, there's no need to speculate maliciously about me. Everyone will see for themselves whether Cao'er can live well after returning to the Jiang family."
As he spoke, he thought to himself:
Jiang Xiancao doesn't care about the family reputation at all. She flirts with the Ninth Prince who is determined to deal with the Jiang family. This is an act of betrayal. What is the difference between such a daughter and an ungrateful person?
Since she wants to be an ungrateful person, don't blame him for being unkind and unjust.
When the incident has passed, and the emperor and the empress dowager have gradually forgotten the existence of this bitch, he will definitely let her know what will happen to a woman who can only survive by relying on the protection of her family and offends everyone in the family.
"Your Highness, please don't hesitate any longer and send someone to bring Cao'er here immediately. After all, it was the emperor who wanted me to take her home. You wouldn't disobey the emperor's orders, would you?" Marquis Wen Ning said threateningly at the end.
Jiang Xiancao guessed his true thoughts from his eyes.
She curled her lips, thinking of what Shen Yubai said to her:
"Marquis Wenning wants to take Miss Jiang back, so just help him. You can't stop him. If you really don't want this old fox to play her to death, then mention her to the Empress Dowager more often. As long as the Empress Dowager doesn't forget this poor girl, Marquis Wenning won't dare to kill her, and her life will be saved."
Now that I think about it, Shen Yubai was right.
There was no need for her to stop Marquis Wen Ning. He could take the person away, and she didn't care how Shen Tingsi would live in the Jiang family.
But she would not let Marquis Wen Ning realize any of his plans by bringing the person home.
"Well, since the Marquis has promised to treat his daughter well, then I will not keep her."
Jiang Xiancao finished speaking slowly before raising his hand to signal the servants from the palace to bring "Second Miss Jiang" over.
