The fifth brother stayed in the Buddhist temple all day and had little interaction with her, but at her coming-of-age ceremony, he gave her a Buddhist scripture he had copied by hand and lit a long-burning lamp in front of the Bodhisattva statue for her, wishing her peace and safety every day for the rest of her life.
She used to be like a love-deprived chick, craving the affection they gave her.
But later, because of Jiang Huaizhu's lies to sow discord and their repeated favoritism, everything changed.
The brothers who had protected her in the past now stood in front of Jiang Huaizhu, becoming Jiang Huaizhu's strongest barrier and the sharpest knife to stab her.
Since they were determined to side with Jiang Huaizhu to the end, she would definitely break through their protection and make Jiang Huaizhu pay with blood.
No matter what means are used or what price is paid.
“This prince has no interest in humiliating her, I only want the truth.
Within ten days, I want to see the results of your investigation."
After saying that, Jiang Xiancao gave them a last mocking look, then turned around and left.
Tinglan made a gesture, and two guards pulled the crying maid away on the left and right. Everyone in the Jiang family watched helplessly, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.
After everyone in the palace had left, the five young masters, who had originally had stern expressions, softened their expressions and went to comfort the crying Jiang Huaizhu.
Jiang Jinyan leaned over, his eyes full of tenderness, "With brothers here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Jiang Jinyi solemnly promised her, "Brother believes in you and will definitely clear your name."
Jiang Jinan stroked her hair lovingly, "Leave all these troublesome matters to your brothers. Zhu'er, go back and rest and recuperate. If you get hurt, it will really make your brothers sad."
Even Jiang Jinzhen, who usually doesn't like to talk, put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her softly:
"Sister, you are blessed with great fortune. The Buddha and Bodhisattva will bless you."
Jiang Jinxing muttered, "Even if you are the prince, you can't bully our sister!"
As he spoke, he walked to the straw mat, looked at "Jiang Xiancao" who had fainted from exhaustion long ago, showed an expression of hatred, and raised his foot to kick him hard.
It happened that Ting Lan came back at this time, and his cold and level voice sounded outside the door:
"The prince has ordered that as long as he hasn't broken off the engagement, Miss Jiang II will remain his fiancée. If the prince's fiancée is injured, disabled, or dies, the Wen Ning Marquisate will have to give an explanation to the royal family."
Jiang Jinxing retracted his foot and punched the dilapidated wall.
After Tinglan's footsteps faded away, Jiang Jinyan solemnly ordered, "Right now, the old lady has taken the wives of each branch to the ancestral temple in their hometown to pray for blessings. Father and two uncles are far away in Jinan Prefecture due to disaster relief work, so we are the only ones at home. The five of us brothers must work together and calmly deal with this matter."
My third brother and I will solve the problem posed by the Ninth Prince.
Fourth brother, you and fifth brother please stay home and take good care of Jiang Xiancao. She must stay alive and well at this critical moment.
As for my second brother, you are the most impulsive. You don't need to do anything in this situation. Just accompany Zhu'er and entertain her."
After being sent back to his residence by his five brothers, Jiang Huaizhu lay on the rosewood embroidered bed. Although he had taken sedatives, he was unable to fall asleep.
If it weren't for that bitch Jiang Xiancao, she would still be the most honorable eldest daughter of the Wen Ning Marquis's Mansion and the legitimate fiancée of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince would not suddenly ignore her and start to investigate the truth of the drowning case, causing his brothers to worry.
God is blind and has to let Jiang Xiancao appear in her life, taking away everything that should belong to her.
She would never sit still and wait for death.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Huaizhu called the nanny in her room and whispered some instructions.
