Chapter 5: Treat others in their own way
Jiang Qinian glanced at Jiang Yunyao and frowned slightly.
Pei observed her expression and quickly stood up and took Jiang Yunyao's hand, "Come, Yao'er, sit next to mother."
Jiang Qinian ignored the Pei mother and daughter, quickly finished his lunch, and went straight to the study.
Jiang Ruo enjoyed this lunch very much. After all, no one else present was too happy...
Jiang Ruo looked at the untouched roast goose on the plate and directly picked it up and handed it to Dongxue, "Dongxue, you and Aunt Liu have worked hard to take care of me. Take it back to Liuliyuan and eat it!"
"Yes, miss." Dongxue was not polite at all. She took the plate and ran towards Liuliyuan.
She could no longer hold back and wanted to go back and show off how Mrs. Zhou was beaten up by the young lady.
The people in the dining hall were stunned by Jiang Ruo's actions.
Pei put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, wiped the corner of her lips with a brocade handkerchief, and put on the face of a mistress, "Ruo'er, it's a pity to give the roast goose to a servant, you..."
Jiang Ruo's eyes gleamed coldly, and she retorted without any hesitation, "Even that shrewish servant, Mrs. Zhou, could get the palace doctor to treat her. So what's wrong with my people eating roast goose?"
The atmosphere in the dining room was a little subtle.
Just then, a young man in blue clothes walked in.
This young man was none other than Jiang Wenhan, the young master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
He subconsciously looked towards where Jiang Yunyao usually sat. Seeing a strange face, he arrogantly asked, "Who are you?"
Jiang Ruo raised her eyelids and glanced sideways at the boy, who was about ten years old. "Our Prime Minister's young master is so ignorant of etiquette when he meets his eldest sister."
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Pei's gloomy face.
The word "elder sister" made Pei very jealous.
She was obviously the daughter of an official, while Nangong Li was just the daughter of a lowly merchant.
Just because she is a co-wife, she will always be inferior to that bitch Nangong Li.
Even her two children are the same.
"Han'er, she is your legitimate sister. You must say hello to her when you meet her in the future. Do you understand?" Pei said this with gritted teeth and gave Jiang Wenhan a look that told him to be obedient.
Jiang Wenhan is the only son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is spoiled and has long been a little bully who looks down on others.
When he saw the provocative smile on Jiang Ruo's lips, he instantly became furious.
"I only have one elder sister, and that's her." Jiang Wenhan was very excited and pointed at Jiang Yunyao who was sitting on the side.
Jiang Ruo sneered and said meaningfully, "Tsk tsk! If Dad knew that his 'only' son had become like this, would he be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall?"
When the original owner was eight years old, she had not yet gotten over the grief of losing her mother. Because she refused to greet Pei, Pei went to Prime Minister Jiang crying with her big belly to complain.
That time, Prime Minister Jiang punished the original owner by making him kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night.
Pei looked at the cold light in Jiang Ruo's eyes and knew that she was remembering the time when she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
"Ruo'er, Han'er is still young and not familiar with you, please don't blame me!"
After a satisfying meal, Jiang Ruo slowly stood up. As he passed by Pei, he whispered in a voice that only two of them could hear: "Brother Han'er doesn't look... much like Daddy!"
Pei's legs softened, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she pretended to be calm and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Jiang Ruo stretched out her delicate jade fingers and tucked the hair behind her ear, looking like she knew everything. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Prepare all my mother's dowry by noon tomorrow."
Before leaving, Jiang Ruo glanced at Pei with an all-knowing look and left in a happy mood.
Pei looked at Jiang Ruo's departing back, her chest heaving with anger.
If you don't remove the roots of the problem, there will be endless trouble.
This bitch can't be kept.
No... She still has to go to congratulate His Royal Highness Prince An. If something happens to her at this time, will the Emperor let Yao'er take her place?
For a moment, Pei's thoughts were in turmoil, and the uncontrollable anger in her chest devoured her remaining sanity.
"ah......"
Looking at the overturned dining table, Jiang Yunyao and her brother hugged each other and trembled in fear.
Jiang Ruo listened to the crackling sound coming from the dining room and smiled as if she was bathed in spring breeze.
It's just a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine, why is the reaction so intense?
The original owner's mother was slandered by her as unfaithful because she had normal dealings with a business partner...
But the one who is truly unfaithful to her husband... is crying "stop thief".
As for the green grassland above Prime Minister Jiang’s head, what does it have to do with her?
Jiang Ruo thought today was the day to collect her monthly allowance, so she turned and went to the accounting office...
Glass Courtyard.
After Dongxue came back, she put down the plate and took Aunt Liu's hand to tell her excitedly what happened in the front yard.
Afraid that Aunt Liu wouldn't believe him, he stretched out his slightly red and swollen hands in front of her to show off.
Aunt Liu touched Dongxue's hand with her rough hands, and murmured with red eyes: "What a silly girl."
In the accounting office.
The moment Butler Ji saw Jiang Ruo appear, his hand that was turning the abacus suddenly stopped.
Miss, after years of forbearance, you finally walked out of Liuliyuan.
In fact, he had just heard what happened in the front yard, he just couldn't believe it...
"This old servant greets the young lady!" Butler Ji felt a lump in his throat and his voice was choked.
Jiang Ruo gave Steward Ji a false helping hand, her daughter's aura perfectly captured. "Steward Ji, how much is the monthly allowance for the Second Young Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
When Steward Ji heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, "My dear Miss, the second lady's monthly allowance is fifty taels of silver."
"Okay, then pay me fifty taels of silver per month to make up for the nine years' monthly allowance." After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, she found a stool and sat down to wait.
"Yes, Miss." Butler Ji came to the table, took out an abacus and started dialing.
The other two servants in the accounting office looked at each other, and one of them quietly left the office.
Jiang Ruo looked at the dog servant's hurriedly leaving back and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Go ahead! I'm afraid you won't complain.
After the butler Ji finished the calculation, he reported the amount of silver, "Young lady's monthly salary for the past nine years has been five taels per month, with a supplement of forty-five taels per month. For nine years... the total is four thousand eight hundred and sixty taels."
Jiang Ruo: "..."
I didn’t know this before I calculated it, but I was shocked when I calculated it!
Oh my! Silver, pure silver!
"Butler Ji, for the past nine years, all of my clothes have been worn by the Second Miss. Please round it up and give me five thousand taels!"
Steward Ji looked at Jiang Ruo's money-obsessed appearance, and said with a hint of amusement in his tone, "This old servant will arrange for someone to send the young lady to the courtyard right away."
Jiang Ruo blinked and whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Ji, for all these years!"
Steward Ji nodded slightly, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Ruo.
What a smart woman!
