"Mother, do you think she's going to look down on us now that she's going to marry into the Marquis's family?"
Aunt Liu's eyes were filled with malice. "We've borrowed from her all these years, now she has no say in the matter. She hasn't even become the young master's wife yet! Putting on airs?"
"Who are you showing this to?" Aunt Liu sneered. "Granny, go and borrow the jewelry and let her know that even if she were married into the Marquis's mansion, her maternal family is her only support."
Aunt Liu held Jiang Rou in her arms, her expression gentle and loving. "Mother will avenge you right now."
Jiang Wei was planning what to do next, looking out at the courtyard.
Ah Jing knelt in the courtyard, trembling, the ground covered in blood.
Every time she couldn't hold on and was about to collapse, the old woman behind her would pinch her while cursing.
It's all because of her; otherwise, they wouldn't be standing here in the cold wind. The old women are angry and are taking it all out on her.
Jiang Wei gazed at the loquat tree outside, feeling a mix of relief, melancholy, and weariness.
She closed her eyes and rested for a while.
"Miss." Dewdrop lifted the curtain and walked in from outside.
"So fast?" Jiang Wei was a little surprised. She had only rested for about an hour when the person arrived.
Dewdrop smiled and replied, "My maternal grandfather doted on you, so he bought you a courtyard in the best part of the capital. It's only about half an hour away from our Jiang residence." As if she had a secret, she whispered, "It's also close to the Marquis's residence, right in the middle."
This silly girl, she thinks the Marquis's mansion is some kind of blessed place!
Jiang Wei looked at the people behind the dewdrop; she had met both of them a few times in her previous life.
At that time, they repeatedly begged to follow her into the Marquis's residence to serve her.
Song Tingxuan coaxed her, saying that bringing so many servants would make outsiders laugh and think that their Marquis's mansion couldn't even afford a single servant, and that the new bride had to bring a large group of people to serve them.
They just wouldn't let her bring more people, and what happened?
It was all a lie to deceive her!
They're just afraid that she has powerful people around her, making it harder to control her.
The entire Marquis's mansion was supported by her dowry, from her sister-in-law's dowry to the servants' monthly wages. At this point, he wasn't afraid of being laughed at at all.
She wholeheartedly cared for Song Tingxuan, making plans for him and spending money to scheme for him.
To avoid arousing his suspicion, she never allowed them to visit her.
But they were only sneaking around to see her outside the Marquis's residence.
Song Tingxuan actually framed them for theft, sent them to prison, and they didn't get a good ending either.
Jiang Wei clenched her fists. 'It's time to pay it back!'
When the two women saw Jiang Wei looking at them, they quickly bowed respectfully again, saying, "We are your servants, Miss."
Jiang smiled and gestured for them to get up, telling them to settle in first before starting their duties.
"Young lady, this old servant greets you," Granny Li called out loudly without announcing the arrival.
His words lacked respect and were mostly disdainful.
Raindrops stopped her from going in, saying the girl was taking a nap.
Granny Li rolled her eyes at her, thinking, "That little slut can't even tell the difference between superiors and inferiors."
He pushed aside the raindrops, swaggered in, and opened the curtain wide, letting in a gust of cold wind.
Granny Li had been walking for so long and was already cold, but when she came into the room, there wasn't a trace of warmth, and she saw so many people in the room.
She couldn't help but get angry. "You little slut, can't you even prepare some charcoal in this cold weather?"
She walked straight to the small stool by the bed and sat down. Seeing that no one in the room had moved, she pointed at the dew and said, "You little slut, aren't you going yet?"
Li Mama felt a chill on her back for no apparent reason. She turned to look at Jiang Wei, wondering if it was because of the cold weather or something else.
She felt that Jiang Wei was surrounded by a chilling aura, his calm face was devoid of warmth, and his eyes were filled with a cold light.
She had never seen Jiang Wei like this before. For a moment she was afraid, but then she remembered that Jiang Wei was the lady's person and that she was used to being subservient to the lady.
She straightened her back and said in a way that left no room for doubt, "Young lady, Madam sent me to retrieve that set of ruby jewelry."
Jiang Wei gave Li Mama a meaningful look. In her past life, Li Mama was truly...
I can't even bring myself to curse him, yet I'm being bossed around by such a wicked servant.
"What are you still standing there for?" Jiang Wei sneered.
Granny Li couldn't help but shiver. She had truly seen a ghost today; how could she find the young lady so frightening?
However, things were different when she took action; the food was obediently handed over, making Granny Li even more smug.
She still maintained a certain level of dignity, saying, "The eldest daughter should have done this long ago. It doesn't matter which of the sisters wears it. What's wrong with the older sister showing more love to her younger sister? Madam has not spoiled you for nothing."
The matter was settled. Granny Li looked around and her gaze fell on Dewdrop. She always hated that little slut. “I’m a bit thirsty after being here for so long.”
In the past, whenever she arrived, Jiang Wei would have people serve her the finest tea and snacks.
They're becoming increasingly immature these days.
Dewdrop rolled her eyes in anger, thinking, "That old bastard!"
"Madam also said that the eldest daughter should kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, and you can get up when the second daughter's facial injuries have healed." Why hasn't the tea been served yet?
Jiang Wei smiled faintly, raised her eyebrows, and said, "This treacherous servant is bullying his master! Beat him!"
Having received her message, Chen Hui went over and slapped her twice.
Granny Li couldn't accept it for a moment. Jiang Wei actually dared to disobey the madam and even hit her. She was about to start cursing.
Chen Hui picked up a rag, stuffed it into her mouth, and slapped her several more times, one on each side.
Tie her up and throw her in the yard.
Those who are skilled in martial arts are different.
Dewdrop: "That's awesome!!!" This girl has really made something of herself. With such a capable person by her side, she has nothing to fear.
She was also worried about what would happen when the master returned, as he doted on that mother and daughter the most.
