Chapter 51 Little White Lotus
Lu Tiantian's words made Jiang Caiwei completely confirm the identity of the person in front of her, and the resentment in her heart almost turned into reality.
She pinched her palms hard to hide the fierce hatred in her eyes, sniffed, and pretended to cry with joy, "Are you really my cousin? Why have you changed? I almost didn't recognize you."
Jiang Tangtang frowned. This woman with a face as rotten as a pig's head, is she Jiang Caiwei?
She didn't die.
You are really lucky!
"Cousin, you really misunderstood me. I was really scared at the time... I didn't want to fall off the cliff."
Jiang Caiwei tried hard to suppress the hatred in her heart and said pitifully, "Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? We are sisters! Think about our past..."
Jiang Tangtang twitched her lips and sneered, "What are you thinking about in the past? Thinking about how you used to tease me, how you made a fool of yourself in front of everyone, and how you used my ugliness to highlight your elegance?"
"Cousin, I was young and ignorant. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Jiang Caiwei pinched her palms, knelt down in front of Jiang Tangtang, and cried, "We are now exiled to Lingnan together. We may never be able to return to Beijing. I really miss home... I really treat you as my own sister. Please don't be so angry and don't be so distant to me, okay?"
Jiang Caiwei's crying aroused the sorrow of many people, and some people began to cry softly.
People also expressed sympathy towards Jiang Caiwei.
Just think about it, such a young woman, who was exiled and disfigured, now sincerely asks her cousin to reconcile because she misses home.
Some people even spoke up for Jiang Caiwei and forgave her.
Jiang Tangtang glanced coldly at the woman who was speaking for Jiang Caiwei and said, "Auntie, have you heard the saying? Never advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. Put yourself in her shoes. If you were me, and she pushed you off the cliff, and she took the opportunity to seduce your husband, would you forgive her?"
"I didn't!" Jiang Caiwei said with a panicked look on her face: "Cousin, it's all a misunderstanding."
Luo Shi was not happy with Jiang Tangtang calling her "Auntie" and her strong tone, so she helped Jiang Caiwei and said, "Look, everyone has said it's not true. Don't doubt everyone just because you're ugly. She's your third aunt."
"Am I ugly?" Jiang Tangtang straightened his back and asked, "Have you not looked in the mirror for a long time? Don't you know what you look like?"
Jiang Tangtang has lost a lot of weight now. With balanced nutrition and the nourishment of the spiritual spring in the space, she looks rosy now. On the other hand, what about Luo Shi!
He hadn't washed his hair or taken a shower during the entire journey, so his hair was dry and tangled. Due to malnutrition caused by eating dry food for a long time, his face was pale and he looked at least ten years older. He was only thirty years old, but now he looked more like he was in his forties.
Everyone's expression was very subtle.
Luo no longer had the heart to speak up for Jiang Caiwei, and she covered her face and cried.
Looking at Jiang Tangtang's fair and rosy little face, Jiang Caiwei almost pinched her palm to pieces.
That bitch ruined her looks, but she herself became prettier.
Sooner or later, she would destroy her face and become the fat person that everyone hated again.

People don't pay much attention to the grudges between sisters Jiang Caiwei and Jiang Tangtang.
As Lingnan has been the long-standing place of exile for the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is naturally more than one official village in it, and the conditions of each official village vary.
People took out the silver notes and jewelry they had hidden on their bodies, trying to find out which official village had better conditions, trying to use their connections to get a place with slightly better conditions.
Soon, officials from the government office came and began to sort out the prisoners' whereabouts.
With Liang Jiamin's invitation, the eldest branch of the Lu family was assigned to Zhounanzhuang, where the conditions were better.
All the prisoners who had asked for money to inquire knew that not only were the conditions in Zhounanzhuang better, but most importantly, the people in charge of Zhounanzhuang were more reasonable and would not torture the prisoners at every turn.
If you're unlucky and end up in Kenjing Village, you'll be in trouble. I heard the manager of that village is a bit of a pervert and loves to punish and torture the prisoners.
Many prisoners exiled to Kenjing Village were tortured to death by him, so this village has the smallest population now.
Amid people's envy, the officials also finished assigning the prisoners' destinations one after another.
When Jiang Caiwei heard that they were assigned to Baozhen Village, which was far away from Zhounan Village, she immediately started to make a fuss, "We are a family, why can't we be assigned to the same place?"
The officer brandished his whip and said, "Our leader has the final say on how to divide the things. You just have to obey our orders."
Jiang Caiwei was a little afraid of the officials, but she thought that if she didn't get closer to the main house, she would not be able to carry out her mission and the hatred in her heart.
She said with tears in her eyes, "But as a daughter-in-law, how can I not respect my parents-in-law? My Lord, please be kind and let our whole family live on the same farm, so that we, the younger generation, can also fulfill our filial duties."
The other people from the second and third houses also wanted to be assigned to the same farm as the first house. After hearing Jiang Caiwei's words, they all followed her advice and pleaded with the officials.
The officer took the registration book and looked at it for a while before saying, "In consideration of your filial piety, I will make an exception."
"Thank you, sir!" Jiang Caiwei kowtowed gratefully.
"But Zhounan Manor can no longer accommodate any more residents. I will arrange for you to go to Kenjing Manor! This manor is right next to Zhounan Manor. The two manors are close to each other, so it will be convenient for you to take care of your elders."
When they heard they were being assigned to Kenjing Manor, the faces of the people from the second and third branches of the Lu family changed. They wanted to say, "Let's just stay in the original manor!"
But the officer gave them a warning look, meaning that I have already changed your place according to your wishes. If you still have any objections, you will be deliberately causing trouble.
If you deliberately cause trouble, he will not be polite.
No one from the second or third branch of the Lu family dared to say anything. But after the official left, they all started to complain madly about Jiang Caiwei.
"It's all your fault, you jinx! You're almost killing us."
Chen glared at Jiang Caiwei angrily and said, "We were originally assigned to Beiyuzhuang, and it was a good thing, but you insisted on making trouble. Now, you've been assigned to the Thunder Demon's subordinates. You're going to suffer in the future!"
Jiang Caiwei wiped her tears aggrievedly and said, "Didn't Second Sister-in-law just say that she wanted to live closer to the eldest wife so that she could be more filial to her mother? Why are you blaming me now? Are all the things you said just now false?"
Chen couldn't admit that what she had just said was false, so she could only sarcastically say, "Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts. I'm telling you, it's useless. People looked down on you before you were disfigured, and now that you've become such an ugly freak, they look down on you even more."
"Second sister-in-law, my cousin misunderstood me and slandered me maliciously. Why do you say that?"
Jiang Caiwei whispered, "Now that we're exiled together, we should unite and get out of this predicament. This is the right thing to do. You're not doing any good at all by quarreling with me, except for ruining the Lu family's reputation. Think about it."
Chen thought of her daughter and finally held back her anger. She did not argue with Jiang Caiwei anymore, but cursed in her heart that this pair of sisters were not good people.
While Chen and Jiang Caiwei were arguing, Jiang Tangtang packed up a few small gifts and went to thank Liang Jiamin.
Although Liang Jiamin never came to her to boast about asking officials to help them, but if she thought about it a little, she would know who helped them.
Jiang Tangtang handed over the bundle in her hand and said, "Thank you for your care, sir! These are some jewelry designs I drew when I had some free time, as well as some snacks I made myself. I hope you don't mind."
Liang Jiamin took the bundle with a smile and said, "It's my blessing to be able to eat the snacks you made."
Thinking about the jewelry design, he said, "Once the shop is open, I'll send someone to give you the interest."
