The Pear Blossom Courtyard was just renovated at the beginning of the year, just to make it look better when she invites everyone over for her coming-of-age ceremony at the end of the year.
It cost a lot of money to renovate the Lihua Courtyard. Almost everything inside was renovated from the inside out, and all the things inside were replaced with new ones.
After finishing the work, she had just moved in and lived there for half a month, but now she had to move out. How could Xu Jingwan be willing to do that?
The difference between Lihuayuan and Taoyuan is not a little bit. Lihuayuan is equivalent to an independent small courtyard.
It is the largest courtyard in the entire Shangshu Mansion with its own garden, rockery and small kitchen. During the renovation, the other two courtyards were connected to form a large garden.
A small stream was dug in the garden. Although it is not flowing, it is also very beautiful, and there are flowers planted on both sides.
How could Taoyuan compare? It was just a small courtyard with a few rooms. It didn't even have a garden, it couldn't even be called a courtyard.
But since the words were out, Xu Jingwan could only admit defeat.
"Brother, sister is right. It doesn't matter where I live."
"Mother Jiang, please help me pack up all my things from Lihuayuan and take my sister to live there."
Seeing Xu Jingwan's eyes red with grievance, Xu Qingyan felt very uncomfortable.
"Be good, wait for a while, I'll have Taoyuan renovated. I'm sorry to have put you through this now."
Xu Jingwan shook her head: "Wanwan is not wronged. As long as she can stay with you, Wanwan can live anywhere."
Xu Jinyi followed Jiang Ma with her back to them and laughed at herself. In this life, she only wanted to live freely and unrestrainedly, and would never compromise herself for these heartless people.
Pear Blossom Courtyard is a standard feature of Xu Jingwan's status. Xu Jinyi took this courtyard, of course knowing how much Xu Jingwan hated her.
And this was also what Xu Jinyi did on purpose.
When she came back from her previous life, Xu Jingwan had boasted about the beauty of Lihuayuan in front of her more than once, symbolizing her family's love for her.
It was an insinuation that even if she was related by blood, she couldn't compare to her.
In places where no one could see, they insulted her even more, secretly calling her a country bumpkin, unpresentable, and a disgrace to the family.
Knowing that she longed for family affection, he made her watch every day how she was pampered and loved by her family.
Stepping into the Pear Blossom Courtyard, Xu Jinyi was in a good mood as he admired the pear blossoms all over the yard and the precious flowers on both sides of the stream.
Seeing Jiang Ma's expression, Xu Jinyi knew what she was thinking, so her tone was not good: "Jiang Ma, where is the fake's room? Go and clean it up, I'm tired."
Jiang Ma frowned. Although she was a slave, she had been in the Shangshu Mansion for decades. Even the young masters and young ladies were kind to her. They had never been so rude to her.
Besides, Miss Jingwan was the one she watched grow up, and she was always nice to her. Compared to Xu Jinyi, who grabbed the room as soon as she came back, Jiang Ma had no good feelings towards her at all.
Unable to hold back, she spoke up: "Miss, I advise you to be more restrained. If you treat Miss Jingwan like this, you will not be able to have a good life when the Minister and the two young masters return."
"Miss Jingwan's status in the family is not comparable to yours. You will not gain their love by doing this. On the contrary, it will backfire and make them dislike you."
"If I were you, I would take the initiative to apologize to Miss Jingwan to please the lady."
Seeing that Xu Jinyi didn't say anything, Jiang Ma thought she had heard it. Thinking that she could go to Xu Jingwan to take credit for it later, she spoke even more excitedly.
"You're not young anymore. You'll be old enough to get married in two years. If you make everyone dislike you now, how can your wife bother to find you a good family? Don't you agree?"
Xu Jinyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, the corners of his lips curled up, and his palm suddenly swept through the air and hit Jiang Ma hard in the face.
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and Jiang Ma was completely stunned.
"You...how dare you hit me? I'm the lady's close friend!" Jiang Ma panted. She never thought that at her age, half buried in the earth, she would be beaten by a little girl.
Xu Jinyi glanced at him coldly, and said with a smile: "A mere slave dares to point fingers at me and criticize me. Is this the rule of the Shangshu Mansion?"
"Did I hit you wrongly? Since you're right, go ask Mother to come over and see if I did anything wrong."
Mother Jiang dared to be angry but not to say anything, because she knew Xu Jinyi's unruly character very well, and even if the lady came, she would be humiliated.
"Look at me again, and I'll dig your eyes out. Go and get rid of that fake guy's stuff."
Mother Jiang covered her face and hated Xu Jinyi.
For Xu Jinyi, no matter what she does in this family, no one will like her. So why should she please others?
In her previous life, hadn't she tried to please others enough? What happened to her?
Xu Jingwan had just moved in, and since she had thrown away all her old things and hadn't bought many new clothes, Jiang Ma finished cleaning up in no time.
"Tell them that I've been traveling for more than half a month and I'm tired. No one is allowed to disturb me."
"Oh, by the way, wake up. I want to see the maids. I need as many maids as Xu Jingwan has to serve her."
After saying that, he walked into the room without even looking at Jiang Ma's expression.
A new bed has been installed in the room, and Xu Jinyi is quite satisfied with all the furnishings, including the wardrobe.
I have to say that Xu Jingwan is vicious and insidious, but she has good taste.
After exhaling a breath of foul air, Xu Jinyi lay down directly.
She was so soundly asleep that she had no idea that there was a big commotion outside because of her.
When Xu Qingyan took off the mask, Xu's mother screamed in fear: "What happened? What happened? How did you go to pick someone up and ruin your beautiful face?"
At first, Xu's mother didn't ask any questions, thinking that her son was just wearing a mask to look cool. She didn't expect that he was injured so seriously.
Xu Jingwan was also frightened by the long scar and even took a step back.
It’s just that Xu’s mother, who loves her son so much, didn’t notice it.
Then he pretended to step forward and held Brother Xu's hand with a worried look on his face: "Brother, what happened? Does it hurt?"
Xu Jingwan's voice was tearful, and Xu Qingyan felt warm in his heart.
She was indeed the sister he had loved for more than ten years. Unlike Xu Jinyi, she only had a look of disgust when she saw him.
She didn't even think about why his face was disfigured. If it wasn't for picking her up, how could he have been injured?
Xu Qingyan revealed everything, causing Xu's mother to be furious: "It's her again!"
"How much trouble does she have to cause for our family? She just came back and she hurt you, and now she's ruined Wanwan's reputation. I don't know what people outside will say about our Shangshu Mansion."
"Don't worry, Yan'er. When your father comes back, I'll have him go to the palace to ask Doctor Jin to heal the wound on your face. It won't leave any scars."
Xu Qingyan nodded. It was because he knew Doctor Jin's medical skills that he did not collapse when he learned that his face was disfigured.
