Jiang Qiao said that she could tell who was against her.
Jiang Anran's heart beat violently as she looked at her sister who was only wearing plain clothes but so dazzling in the night.
She recalled what she had done to Jiang Qiao when she had just returned to Beijing half a year ago. Jiang Qiao was laughed at by all the noble ladies.
So Jiang Qiao... does she know everything?
"Sister, I...did you misunderstand something?"
Jiang Qiao sneered, like a fox girl that bewitched the souls at night, and her charming eyes looked at her with a smile, as if she really knew everything.
This oppression made Jiang Anran feel even more uneasy.
"Sister Anran, why are you so pale? I was just joking. I'll always remember your kindness to me." Jiang Qiao put away her cold expression and said half-jokingly, "I'll never forget you."
Jiang Anran felt more and more wrong when he heard this.
It seems that Jiang Qiao has really changed this time when he returned to Beijing.
"Sister, Anran remembers it."
Jiang Qiao ignored her and turned into the yard. She really wanted to have a good sleep.
"Miss, here's your lunch box." Shi Tou followed.
Jiang Qiao waved his hand and walked into the room, "You can eat now."
Shi Tou watched her close the door, scratched his head, and whispered, "Thank you, Miss."
…
Broken Jade Pavilion.
The gauze curtains hung low, the crystal bead curtains were winding and tilted, and various porcelain and jade cups were placed on the peach wood shelves. The whole room was decorated brightly and luxuriously.
This is Jiang Anran's residence. She has always liked rare treasures.
Originally, such a residence should not have belonged to her, but the Jiang family had few descendants. The first and second wives each had only one daughter. Jiang Qiao was not in Beijing all year round, so this residence belonged to Jiang Anran.
At this moment, Jiang Anran was in a rage and threw all the rouge and jewelry on the dressing table to the ground.
"Who the hell is Jiang Qiao? She's really meddling in my affairs. She just has good parents!"
Jade knelt aside and dared not say a word.
Feng Ruoxi came over slowly, twisting her waist. She seemed to be used to this kind of scene. She said unhappily, "Why are you so angry again?"
Jiang Anran felt bad and threw herself into her arms, feeling very aggrieved. "Mom, Jiang Qiao bullied me again, what should I do?"
Seeing this, Feicui stepped out and closed the door.
Feng Ruoxi patted her head, and the ruthlessness in her bones was revealed. "An Ran, you are still too kind. To deal with such a brainless idiot, you should naturally use the simplest method."
"What method?" Jiang Anran wiped her tears and asked quickly.
"Kill them."
Feng Ruoxi squinted her eyes and smiled. The strand of hair on her temple looked like the tongue of a poisonous snake under the dim light.
"They?" Jiang Anran felt a chill in her heart and suddenly looked up to meet Feng Ruoxi's eyes, as if she couldn't believe that these were the words spoken by her mother herself.
"Of course, Ji Muhe must die too. As long as she is around, we will suffer forever." Feng Ruoxi replied.
Jiang Anran was afraid, because she didn't hate Ji Muhe. Her aunt was very good to her and Ji Muhe had given her many good things.
Feng Ruoxi advised, "An Ran, how can you achieve great things without being cruel? Don't worry, mother will help you."
Jiang Anran had been accustomed to Feng Ruoxi's words since she was a child. She asked, "What are you going to do, Mom? Jiang Qiao is such a powerful martial artist. He can always come back safely after going to the battlefield. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Jiang Qiao is just a human being after all. As long as Ji Muhe and her daughter are here, we will have no good days in this general's mansion. You just need to listen to me." Feng Ruoxi interrupted her harshly.
Jiang Anran stopped talking. She knew that once Feng Ruoxi made a decision, she would never change it.
Feng Ruoxi suddenly remembered something, "An Ran, you're already seventeen this year, it's time to get married. Do you have someone you like?"
Jiang Anran immediately panicked, her cheeks flushed, "Mother, actually...I like the Sixth Prince Shichuan."
Half a year ago, Jiang Qiao returned to Beijing. Because of the relationship between Ji Muhe and the imperial concubine, Shi Chuan, Jiang Qiao's cousin, once visited the general's mansion.
At that time, Jiang Anran had already fallen in love with him.
The Sixth Prince is a well-behaved man with great talent, and is the best candidate to become the Crown Prince. If Jiang Anran marries him, she will become the glorious Crown Princess and later the Empress who rules the country. Who would dare to look down on her status then?
Feng Ruoxi looked at her daughter's eyes, which were as ambitious as hers, and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll talk to Ji Muhe about it someday. Next time she goes to the palace to see the imperial concubine, she'll bring you with her. You must behave well."
"Well, Mom, we will definitely fly very high, and no one will dare to look down on us." Jiang Anran began to look forward to his future life.
Feng Ruoxi frowned, she thought of Jiang Hao.
She was born in a humble family and her family background was not as good as Ji Muhe's. Back then, Jiang Hao was very popular in Beijing, and Feng Ruoxi was one of the countless women in Beijing who were attracted to him.
At that time, she was fantasizing about marrying General Jiang every day, but she received the news that Jiang Hao was getting married. Feng Ruoxi stood on the street and looked at the stunning man who was about to meet her, her heart aching.
General Jiang married Ji Muhe, the second daughter of the Duke's Mansion. They were truly a perfect match.
Feng Ruoxi was really envious, but later she was unwilling to give up, so she used some tricks to marry Jiang Hao's younger brother Jiang Zhen, hoping to take this opportunity to get closer to her lover.
But Jiang Zhen was a stubborn man. He didn't want to live with his brother and didn't want others to compare them with each other, so he chose to build his own house.
Feng Ruoxi didn't think anything of it at first, but as time went by, she wanted to live a good life with Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen took advantage of her pregnancy to have a mistress.
Feng Ruoxi felt that God was unfair. She was really jealous when she saw Ji Muhe and Jiang Hao's long-lasting love!
She finally understood that she had to work hard to get what she wanted, at any cost, so... she killed Jiang Zhen.
Things turned out just as Feng Ruoxi had expected. Jiang Haolai took the mother and daughter to the general's mansion.
She finally got one step closer to her childhood sweetheart, but not long after, Jiang Hao took Ji Muhe and her daughter to the border. She really wanted to go with them, but Feng Ruoxi couldn't because she was just his sister-in-law.
Now that Jiang Hao is back, Feng Ruoxi has been the hostess for Ji Muhe for so many years. Of course she is unwilling to do so. Why should she and An Ran give up their positions to Ji Muhe and her daughter as soon as they come back!
It was obviously Feng Ruoxi who had guarded the General's Mansion for Jiang Hao for more than ten years, and it was also Feng Ruoxi who took care of Old Madam Jiang for him, so the last person to stay with Jiang Hao should be her, Feng Ruoxi!
Ji Muhe and her daughter deserve to die!
"An Ran, you have to listen to your mother. She won't harm you."
Jiang Anran nodded obediently.
——
The next day.
Overnight, all the magnolia flowers in the courtyard of Mingyue Pavilion bloomed, and the entire courtyard was filled with the subtle fragrance of magnolia, which was intoxicating.
Jiang Qiao didn't have dinner last night, went to bed early, and woke up early. She was woken up by hunger.
Chunhua brought warm water for her to wash.
When I arrived at the dining hall, I found that Feng Ruoxi and her daughter were already there.
Jiang Qiao was still dressed very simply today, and she didn't wear many jewelries, except for the red coral necklace around her neck which was very eye-catching.
