Chapter 11: Indenture



Jiang Songyi's eyes were firm. She looked at Jiang Baichuan and said coldly, "I don't think I'll be in trouble. On the contrary, I think I will win this battle. As for the Jiang Mansion, as long as I can gain the favor of the Fourth Prince, the reputation of the Jiang Mansion will naturally rise."

Jiang Baichuan was furious, his eyes blazing with rage. "Yuyao is my biological sister, Jiang Songyi, you keep calling her a bastard. How cruel and disrespectful! You repeatedly pushed her into the icy lake, and she always chose to forgive you. Can't you learn from her tolerance?"

Jiang Songyi responded provocatively: "So what if I'm stingy?"

[How can I compare to you, with a heart as broad as a prime minister, who can bear the consequences of being cuckolded over and over again! ]

Jiang Baichuan was originally furious at Jiang Songyi's stubbornness, but when he heard that familiar voice, he was stunned for a moment.

Green hat? What green hat? You should explain yourself clearly!

Besides, coming to think of it, why does this voice sound so similar to Jiang Songyi's?

Jiang Baichuan stared at Jiang Songyi in confusion. Could it be that Jiang Songyi had sneaked out to find him today?

Impossible! How could Jiang Songyi possibly step out of the mansion without her grandmother's explicit permission?

Today she bullied Yuyao, and it was already a light punishment that her grandmother did not punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall. How could she possibly allow her to enter and leave the mansion freely!

He suddenly grabbed Jiang Songyi's arm and dragged her hard, "Jiang Songyi, come here and apologize to Yuyao immediately!"

Jiang Songyi easily broke free from his restraints with a slight twist of his wrist, grabbed him with his backhand, and skillfully cast a spell, throwing him out fiercely.

The moment Jiang Baichuan flew into the air, his mind was in confusion.

Is this a dream?

How could Jiang Songyi have such tremendous strength to throw him so far?

It was not until his buttocks hit the ground hard and he couldn't help screaming in pain that Jiang Baichuan woke up from his shock. This was not a dream!

Liao Qianqian, who was standing by, was also stunned.

What happened? In just the blink of an eye, the Second Young Master was thrown out and fell heavily to the ground?

Jiang Songyi doesn't have that much strength. Could it be that this is the legendary martial arts skill - Qinggong?

Jiang Baichuan gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up from the cold ground. He hurried to Jiang Songyi, his eyes flashing with anger and unyielding spirit. "Jiang Songyi, what on earth did you do to me?"

Jiang Bochuan originally wanted to raise his arm and gently push Jiang Songyi's shoulder, but then he thought of the amazing strength just now, and he slowly retracted his outstretched hand.

However, Jiang Songyi suddenly fell to the ground.

At this moment, a woman's angry scolding came from the other side of the flower wall: "Jiang Baichuan, what on earth are you doing?"

The woman had her hair tied in an exquisite bun and was dressed in gorgeous clothes, yet she exuded a quiet dignity, showing the demeanor of a mistress of the house.

However, there was a hint of fatigue and illness between her heroic eyebrows, and her scolding voice was also mixed with a bit of hoarseness, which clearly showed that she was in poor health.

"Mom, I didn't do anything..."

Jiang Baichuan was about to explain, but he saw Jiang Songyi suddenly bounce up like a spring and throw herself into the arms of the Marquis's wife Xu.

Jiang Songyi hugged Xu tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mother!"

In these two lives, the person who cared for her the most, besides her master, was her mother.

In her previous life, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion favored Jiang Yuyao and mocked her, but her mother was the only one who always stood firmly by her side.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she could only watch helplessly as her mother was brutally murdered. The feeling of despair was suffocating.

Since she returned to the world, Mrs. Xu was worried about passing the disease to her and had never been so close to her.

At this moment, Jiang Songyi's helplessness and panic were fully revealed, but when she felt the wetness gradually spreading on her clothes and her daughter's intermittent sobs, Xu's heart was filled with deep sympathy.

Xu gently wiped away the tears from Jiang Songyi's eyes with a silk handkerchief. "Songyi, my child, don't worry. I see everything. I will seek justice for you."

Jiang Baichuan covered his painful hip and squatted on the ground, his eyes wide open. "But, Mom, what did you see? Jiang Songyi was pretending. She just threw me out from here to under that tree. Why didn't you support me?"

Xu's eyes were as cold as ice. She stared at Jiang Baichuan, her gaze flickering to the left and right of where he was pointing. There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Are you implying that Jiang Songyi, who is so weak as to be unable to even lift a chicken, could toss a seven-foot-tall man like you like a falling leaf, a dozen feet away?"

Faced with such questioning, Jiang Baichuan felt aggrieved but unable to confess. He eagerly defended himself, "Mom, I know this sounds absurd, but it is the truth. It really happened."

Liao Qianqian, who had been watching the unfolding events from the sidelines, witnessed all of this and suddenly had an idea. She felt this was the perfect opportunity to gain Jiang Baichuan's favor, so she stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Madam, I had the honor of witnessing what just happened. Jiang Songyi did indeed push Young Master Jiang Baichuan in that direction."

Jiang Baichuan's emotions erupted like a volcano. He excitedly echoed, "That's right, Mother. Even Jiang Songyi's personal maid can vouch for me. Please believe me, I definitely didn't push Jiang Songyi. Instead, she waved her hand and threw me far away."

However, Xu only glanced at Liao Qianqian and said in a cold and hard tone: "Hongying, the maid who betrayed her master, will be sold to someone else as a servant."

Liao Qianqian was stunned and panicked. She had been betrayed by her father once before and never wanted to suffer such a fate a second time. Her legs trembled uncontrollably. "Madam, I am not a servant. I am Jiang Songyi's friend and Jiang Yuyao's biological cousin."

Before she finished speaking, she turned to Jiang Songyi anxiously for help: "Songyi, please tell me quickly? Is it true?"

Jiang Songyi's answer was unexpected: "Mother, what Qianqian said is true. Although she still has her indentures in the mansion, she is indeed my friend and Jiang Yuyao's closest cousin."

"Since she has signed the indenture, she is now a slave in this mansion. Hongying, immediately send her to another mansion as a slave."

Liao Qianqian was filled with anger and disappointment. She secretly cursed Jiang Songyi's stupidity. Why did she mention the indenture contract when begging for mercy?

Hongying immediately covered Liao Qianqian's mouth and dragged her away without saying a word.

Liao Qianqian's eyes were filled with despair. She looked at Jiang Songyi and Jiang Bochuan for help, but both of them remained indifferent.

At this desperate moment, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuyao, who was slowly walking towards her, supported by her maid. She had a graceful figure and elegant temperament.

Liao Qianqian hurriedly broke free from Hongying's restraints and rushed towards Jiang Yuyao like an arrow from a bow. She hugged her legs tightly and cried, "Cousin, please save me! I am your biological cousin, how can you bear to watch me being forced to sell my body to others?"
