Chapter 30: No matter how bad she is, she is still the daughter of the Jiang family
Jiang Guiyu knew that Jinxiu was a reliable person, but he was becoming more and more annoyed.
Seeing her so worried, Jinxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Even if someone leaks the news, I will take full responsibility and will never drag you down."
After hearing her words, Jiang Guiyu's expression really looked better.
"But I'm still very upset. Come with me to see my mother."
The master and servant were walking towards Madam Jiang's courtyard, but unexpectedly they saw Mother Xu leading someone towards Liuxiang Pavilion from afar.
Jiang Guiyu's heart skipped a beat. "Is that the person behind Madam Xu the imperial physician who treated my elder sister last time?"
Jinxiu took a closer look and shook her head, saying, "It's the imperial physician, but this one was brought here by Prince Xie to treat Jiang Qingyue."
Jiang Guiyu's expression changed slightly, and he didn't go to Madam Jiang anymore. Instead, he hurried to Liuxiang Pavilion.
As soon as she entered the yard, Jinxiu bumped into someone and her embroidered shoes were stepped on and made dirty by the maid.
Not only did the maid not apologize, she even hurriedly walked past Jiang Guiyu, the second young lady, and ran straight into the house.
Jiang Guiyu's heart tightened and he quickly followed.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard the maid reporting from inside the house that the palace doctor who had been missing for many days had been found by the eldest lady's people.
Suddenly, Jiang Guiyu's face changed drastically and her legs became a little weak. Fortunately, Jinxiu caught up and supported her.
"Miss!"
Jiang Guiyu was so confused and panicked that he didn't know what to do.
Jinxiu was extremely anxious because she didn't know what was going on.
Remembering that Mother Xu had brought the imperial physician to Liuxiang Pavilion, Jinxiu didn't have time to think about it and was about to go in with Jiang Guiyu.
At this moment, Jiang Wanyin's weak voice happened to be heard.
"...Qingyue..."
Just hearing this name, Jiang Guiyu seemed to be frightened, shaking all over, as if he couldn't breathe.
Jiang Guiyu's body softened as he caught a glimpse of the figure entering Liuxiang Pavilion, and he pretended to fall down.
Jiang Mingyang, who had come to visit his elder sister, took a quick step and held her firmly in his arms, "Sister Guiyu!"
Jiang Guiyu covered her heart and fainted in his arms.
When Mother Xu heard the noise and came out to check, Jiang Mingyang had already taken Jiang Guiyu away with a dark face.
His expression was stern and his attitude of keeping strangers away was really scary.
When asked the reason, Jinxiu's eyes turned and she said that her young lady was angry with Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Mingyang, who was filled with anger, had no time to think. He took the whip that Jiang Guiyu had given him a while ago when he wanted to learn horse riding, and then rushed towards Qingfeng Garden with murderous intent.
Before reaching Qingfeng Garden, I heard two servants chattering in front.
"Why didn't the maid curse today? Could it be that she's already eating in there?"
"The food was stinking and moldy, yet they could actually eat it."
"Maybe he's really starving. After all, there's no next meal after this one."
"You deserve it. You want to be a lady in a wealthy family, but you're actually living worse than a dog on the street."
"That's her own fault. I heard that this bitch is a real promiscuous person in the Northern Frontier..."
The housekeeper in the kitchen at the door and the maid who served food were grinning and joking, completely unaware that Jiang Mingyang was standing behind them.
"What did you guys just say?"
The two men were so frightened that they kept kowtowing and apologizing.
Jiang Mingyang raised the horsewhip high in his hand, and when it fell, there was a blood mark on the maid's back, and she fainted from the pain.
"No matter how bad Jiang Qingyue is, she is still the master of our Jiang family. How dare you slaves withhold her food?"
"Tell me, who is the mastermind?"
The housekeeper crawled to his feet and kowtowed to apologize.
"Master, please spare my life. We all knew that the eldest and second young ladies were being bullied by Jiang Qingyue, so we wanted to teach her a lesson on behalf of the master, thinking that it wouldn't be a big deal for her, a criminal slave, to go hungry."
Jiang Mingyang kicked her in the chest, "Who do you think you are? You have the right to talk nonsense here!"
The housekeeper was kicked so hard that she vomited blood, and the servants were so scared that they begged for mercy.
Jiang Mingyang's face turned grim. "Come here, sell all these bullying things out of the house."
In Qingfeng Garden, Que'er was trembling with anger.
For the past five days, the meals delivered by the main kitchen have always been these few items, nothing else.
But the food before was still edible, but today they directly sent rotten food, which is simply an insult.
Although the Jiang family is not as wealthy as the royal family, they are not so poor that they cannot afford a meal.
She is a slave, so it is hard for her, but the young lady is still injured and she needs to recuperate!
"I'm going to tell the Madam!"
So what if the courtyard gate was locked? She would stick to the crack of the door and complain, shouting louder so that the lady would definitely hear her.
Que'er ran out angrily and heard some noise behind her. She turned around and saw Jiang Qingyue picking up a steamed bun.
"Miss, don't eat it, this steamed bun is rotten!"
As she spoke, Jiang Qingyue had already brought the steamed bun to her mouth.
It’s not that she didn’t smell the rotten smell, but for her who grew up in the northern border, being able to have a full meal was already very good.
So what if it smells bad, as long as it doesn’t starve me to death.
Now she has to live,
Que'er was about to go back to the house to persuade Jiang Qingyue not to eat those bad things, when she heard the courtyard door open. She turned around in surprise and saw that it was Jiang Mingyang. Her face suddenly sank.
"You little dog slave, how dare you show disrespect to your master."
The horsewhip hit Que'er hard, and blood immediately appeared on her clothes. She trembled with pain.
"Sparrow!"
Jiang Qingyue stood up, but because she stood up too quickly, she felt dizzy and almost fell down.
She held onto the table to steady herself, but before she could recover, Jiang Mingyang had already arrived in front of her.
Seeing that she had already eaten half of the steamed bun, Jiang Mingyang's eyes were filled with anger.
He brushed away the food on the table. "You always eat delicacies from land and sea, and now you can even eat steamed buns? Jiang Qingyue, who are you pretending to be for?"
Jiang Qingyue wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
"Master Jiang, are you seeing things? I don't have any delicacies here."
Jiang Mingyang became more and more irritable.
"Do you dare to say that after you came back, your family didn't have good food and drink to provide for you? When did they treat you badly?"
He suddenly changed the subject and pointed the whip at Que'er, who was pale with pain.
"Since you want a change of taste, that's fine. Eat these and I'll spare your maid."
Jiang Qingyue's expression changed slightly. "Que'er is innocent. Why did you hit her?"
Jiang Mingyang didn't listen and was about to walk out.
But just as he stepped out of the room, he heard some movement behind him. He turned around and saw Jiang Qingyue picking up the half steamed bun that he had brushed off from the ground and putting it into her mouth.
She took bites of the sour steamed bun, chewing it a few times before swallowing it.
She was too calm, as calm as if she was holding an ordinary steamed bun in her hand, without any other taste at all.
She just repeated the chewing motion without even looking up at him, as if he didn't exist at all.
Jiang Mingyang's eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
How despicable! How could the daughter of the Jiang family eat such a thing!
