"You'd better send it back to me today, or I'll go get it myself tomorrow." Jiang Wei gave her a cold glare.
Jiang Rou thought she still cared about her father and her aunt!
Now she knows that her father doesn't care about her at all. In her previous life, she lost her mother at a young age and longed for her mother's care, which is why she let Aunt Liu trick her.
She thought that Aunt Liu genuinely cared for her and loved her.
She didn't know then that true care and affection are completely different.
In her past life, she couldn't understand that Aunt Liu was only after her money.
"How dare you hit me?" Jiang Rou stared at Jiang Wei in disbelief. This bitch dared to hit her.
Jiang Wei sneered, "As expected, you have no manners. I'm hitting you for your own good. You're just a concubine's daughter, yet you don't know how to respect your elder sister. You're shouting and behaving so rudely."
"Your elder sister is teaching you for your own good. I don't know how your aunt usually raises you. It seems your aunt's upbringing was rather poor. I can't blame you, though, since it was an ill-mannered and lowly person who raised you."
Dewdrop thought her daughter would let the second daughter take the jewelry to avoid hurting the family's harmony, but she didn't expect her daughter to stand up for herself. It turned out her daughter was so capable.
Her daughter used to care too much about family ties, which is why Aunt Liu and the second daughter treated her so badly.
She was so happy that she wanted to hum a tune right then and there.
"When the mistress makes a mistake, the servants do not know how to advise her. Guards, drag A-Jing out and slap her twenty times, give her fifty strokes of the cane, and then make her kneel for two hours." In her previous life in the Marquis's mansion, the two of them, mistress and servant, had made her suffer a lot.
As Jiang Rou sprinkled chili water on her wounds and jabbed needles into her fingernails, she even offered her advice: 'She heard that if you brand her face with a hot iron, the word "lowly slave" will be branded onto her face, and she'll only be her servant in the next life.'
Dewdrop snatched the golden nanmu box from A-Jing's hand, rolled her eyes at her, and the old woman outside came in to pressure A-Jing.
Jiang Rou felt a pang of pain and resentment. This bitch had slapped her face and even insulted her mother.
Now they're even beating her maid. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. This is completely disregarding her.
She couldn't stand it and glared angrily at Jiang Wei, "Wait! She's my maid. What right do you have to hit her? I was just borrowing your headdress. If you don't want to give it to me, then don't. I'm going to tell Father and Mother right now. You just wait."
"Ah Jing, let's go." Jiang Rou said, covering her face and running away angrily.
Ah Jing looked smug and said, "Hmph, it's just empty talk. What can you do to me?" She gave Lu Zhu a defiant look and tried to break free from the old woman's grasp.
Her daughter is the most favored young lady in the family.
She tried to shake off the old woman's hand that was holding her, but she couldn't get it off.
A-Jing struggled to break free and shouted, "You really think you're some kind of master? Don't you know who's in charge? Let go of me now, or you'll regret it!"
The person in charge of this household is her daughter's biological mother. Now that Jiang Wei has hit her daughter, the daughter has gone back to complain.
When the lady finds out, she will surely not let her off the hook, and she will surely punish her!
"Hmph," Jiang Wei sneered, "you really are used to bullying others by relying on your master's power. Why don't you slap yourself?"
The old woman dragged A-Jing into the yard and slapped him twenty times with all her might. A-Jing's face swelled up like a pig's head, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his mouth bled.
A mere servant girl dares to ride roughshod over her master; look how arrogant she is.
Ah Jing stared intently at the gate outside the courtyard. Her daughter had left the courtyard a while ago, but hadn't returned yet.
If the young lady doesn't bring the lady with her soon, after she's been given fifty lashes and made to kneel for two hours, she might not be able to save her life.
Ah Jing then realized she was afraid. This time, the young lady was different from before, and she felt a chill of fear.
He hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, ignoring the pain in his face, his head slamming against the ground with a loud thud.
The girl doesn't know when someone will come to rescue her!
Jiang Wei frowned, annoyed by her noise.
Dewdrop immediately ordered someone to gag her so as not to disturb her daughter. She thought she was some tough nut to crack!
Dewdrop handed Jiang Wei a cup of hot tea, her eyes shining as she looked at her with a warm smile, "Miss, you've changed, you've become amazing."
Jiang Wei couldn't help but smile. When Lu Zhu was by her side, she always thought of her in everything, no matter how uncomfortable she was.
She always had a smile on her face, and we just hoped she wouldn't have any worries and could live a happy life.
In her past life, she was blind in both eyes and heart, which led to her tragic end.
She was given to Song Tingxuan as a plaything, and was provided to the officials from the Marquis's mansion whom he invited to rape and have fun.
At that time, Jiang Wei was imprisoned, and every time Lu Zhu went to see her, she always had different injuries on her body.
She didn't commit suicide but endured humiliation and hardship to live, all for the sake of taking care of Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei leaned back on the chaise lounge, her eyes red and a single, crystal tear rolling down her cheek. Afraid that the tear would be seen, she turned her head away somewhat awkwardly. "Go to my outer courtyard and find the people who taught me martial arts, as my grandfather did. I have something for them to do."
Dewdrop replied "Yes," covered her with the quilt, and turned to leave.
After she left, Jiang Wei turned around and looked at her back. Dewdrop's steps were light and full of vitality.
Such a good girl, in this life, she must ensure she lives a peaceful and happy life with a good outcome.
When Jiang Rou went to find Aunt Liu with her swollen face, Aunt Liu was all smiles, checking the accounts. "The Chen family is indeed a royal merchant family. This shop is much more profitable than ordinary shops." She didn't need to worry about the purchase of goods or business matters for these shops; she only needed to collect the money.
She pushed her own account books for two shops with a hint of annoyance. "Look at those two shops that the master gave me, they don't even earn a fraction of what others make. That's why they say comparison is the thief of joy."
The old nanny beside her also smiled. Money was going into Aunt Liu's pocket, and Aunt Liu would reward her whenever she was happy. "It all belongs to the madam anyway, as long as we make money, that's all that matters."
"How can that be the same? If word gets out that I'm just temporarily managing it, only what I hold firmly in my own hands is real."
Even so, Aunt Liu didn't lift her eyelids or close her mouth. In her heart, this was already hers. However, she was used to putting on an act and just said it casually.
But in her heart, she was plotting how to get Jiang Wei to give her the shop willingly. He was a fool who was easy to deceive. Her smile deepened.
“Mother…” Jiang Rou, frail as a willow in the wind, came in with tears streaming down her face before she could speak, and leaned against Aunt Liu, crying.
Aunt Liu was so engrossed in the moment that she didn't see Jiang Rou's face clearly, so she acted like a spoiled little girl!
Unexpectedly, the next second, upon seeing her face, he hurriedly dropped the ledger, heartbroken. Who dared to treat his precious daughter like this? "What happened?" he asked, touching her head and looking her chin from side to side.
"Quickly, go and fetch a doctor! What if his face is injured?" Aunt Liu hurriedly ordered.
Jiang Rou cried even harder, tears streaming down her face. "It was that bitch Jiang Wei who beat my daughter. All my daughter wanted was to borrow a piece of jewelry from her for a few days, but not only did she refuse, she also beat me and cursed my mother."
