Jiang Qi stared in disbelief at the face she had been looking at for more than ten years, almost staring a hole in it.
The face was the same as before, yet a little different.
The beauty on the chaise longue had a slender waist, dark black hair, skin as white as snow, almond eyes like autumn water, and bright red lips like petals covered with dew. She also looked a bit charming because she had just been favored.
It's completely different from before.
Jiang Qi almost forgot what Jiang Yi was like in the past.
She was a few years older than Jiang Yi. When Jiang Yi was held in her mother's lap, she was still a newborn baby.
Her father told her that this was her sister.
She looked at the baby with big eyes with disdain. She knew that this was the child her father had with the woman in Beiyuan. The child's mother had taken away her mother's love, and Jiang Yi would also share her father's love with her.
Fortunately, the father only held the child in the arms of the mother and daughter and never took care of him again.
Her mother told her at that time that Jiang Yi was a bastard and she was not her father's child.
She became more and more unscrupulous.
When Jiang Yi was very young, she would deliberately lift up her quilt. She was so stupid that she could not do anything but cry loudly. The nanny who took care of Jiang Yi saw it but did not say anything. She just thought she was being naughty again.
She is the eldest daughter of the family, while Jiang Yi is just a bastard. The status of the two is very different. She is pampered, while Jiang Yi is cursed by everyone.
Later, when Jiang Yi grew up, she ordered her to run errands for her and would join other older children in bullying Jiang Yi.
She remembered that Jiang Yi still knew how to resist at the beginning, but after her mother punished her by making her kneel in the snow for a night, she began to become very quiet.
She became quieter and more obedient, and she took Jiang Yi less and less seriously.
At that time, Jiang Yi was a toy for her to vent her anger, a dog that she could summon and dismiss at will, someone she could insult at will, even worse than a servant.
The mother said that the reason she kept Jiang Yi was because she was pretty and could be used for marriage in the future to bring benefits to the Quling Marquisate and pave the way for her and her brother.
Later, she was fascinated by the emperor at first sight and no longer wanted to marry Wu Dinghou. Regardless of whether Jiang Yuanshi was willing or not, she had to marry Wu Dinghou on her behalf, even though she didn't want to marry him.
She remembered that Jiang Yi had resisted at that time, and she was even willing to die rather than marry Marquis Wu Ding.
But what’s the use?
Her mother knocked Jiang Yi unconscious and stuffed her into the wedding sedan, so she had to go to the Wuding Marquis Mansion obediently.
But Jiang Yi, who was so quiet, dull, and allowed her to beat and scold him, and who wanted to pave the way for her, was now sitting on the chaise longue, and her bright and beautiful face was looking at her teasingly.
She suddenly thought of the eye-catching scene yesterday. Jiang Yi must have known it was her, but she just watched the emperor scold her and told her to get out.
Of course Jiang Yi must be very proud.
Even though she was very nervous now, Jiang Qi's pride would not allow her to bow to Jiang Yi.
"Sister, why are you here? Wu Dinghou has been sent to death row. Logically, you should have gone with him." She sighed in a hypocritical manner, "I asked you to marry Wu Dinghou because I wanted you to enjoy a good life, but I didn't expect..."
"But we are sisters after all. Don't worry, I will plead for you with the Emperor. At most, I will lock you up in death row for the rest of your life, but I won't let you die."
Jiang Yi just watched Jiang Qi forcing a smile with interest.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Qi felt embarrassed when she looked at him like that. "I've already come here, and you're still sitting there for what?"
"You are the wife of a criminal. Even if you are my sister, you still have to follow the proper etiquette."
Jiang Yi looked at her embarrassed face and simply asked, "What is sister then? My mistress? The woman who gave birth to my son? The mother of my son?"
Jiang Qi's face suddenly turned pale and blue. "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are talking about. Don't slander me."
"Nian'er, that child is called Zhao Nian, right? Did you name the child Zhao Nian because you will always miss Marquis Wu Ding, or because you will always miss the time when you were childhood sweethearts?" Jiang Yi just stated the truth.
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Jiang Qi was completely devastated. "You slander me because you hate me. The emperor won't believe you."
Jiang Yi said, "Isn't it interesting? The Emperor has already seen the child. During the time when the Emperor was missing, you three often met secretly together. Have you forgotten?"
"So, since you miss Marquis Wuding so much, I kindly suggested to the Emperor that you two be reunited."
"I can't bear to see you die, so you'll have to spend the rest of your life in death row with Marquis Wuding and his family."
Jiang Qi stared at Jiang Yi intently. At this moment, she still said stubbornly, "You are just jealous of me. The emperor will not believe you."
"Don't be so proud. You used to be the wife of Marquis Wuding. You're no longer clean. The emperor is just playing with you. Do you think he will really give you a title? It's impossible. Even if he is willing, the court officials will not agree."
"Father will never forgive you for doing something like this."
Jiang Yi just watched her go crazy quietly, then pointed behind her and said, "Look, the emperor is coming. If you have any grievances, tell him and see if he believes it."
Jiang Qi's body trembled violently, and she looked at the emperor with some fear.
She knew she was guilty, and knelt on the ground with weak legs, "Your Majesty, I am wrong."
