“I have not revealed your identity. They may have recognized you, but I said no, and that is that.”
"I don't care about any of that. I've told you what happened, so you're in charge of handling it."
Zhao Jing looked at her seriously: "What do you want me to do with the Jiang family?"
Jiang Tian said, "I severed ties with the Jiang family long ago and don't care how you treat me. Even if you go and favor Jiang Huayan, I won't say a word."
As she was talking, she fell asleep again.
As expected, Zhao Jing's good mood was completely ruined.
He glared at Jiang Tian fiercely, intending to say something to her, but now he was in no mood for it.
Not long after, Jiang Huayan came to see Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian was listening to the palace actors perform when she heard that Jiang Tian was requesting an audience, so she dismissed everyone else.
"Sister Jiang, please help me."
Jiang Huayan's face was covered in tears, and her eyes were swollen like two peaches.
"What happened?"
Jiang Huayan sobbed, "My father was demoted."
"Oh." Jiang Tian looked uninterested.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Huayan's crying subsided a little: "It's all my fault. If Father hadn't wanted me to be favored, he wouldn't have asked someone to bother you, and then the Emperor wouldn't have punished him."
Jiang Tian asked curiously, "You knew all that?"
Jiang Huayan's face stiffened for a moment, then she nodded with her lips pursed: "...Yes, Sister Jiang, can you help me? My father was recently promoted, and my mother was very happy, but now he has been demoted two ranks and is not even as good as before. My mother is very sad."
"But what does that have to do with me? I'm not part of your family. You've come to me seeking some benefits. Do you expect me to help you just because you cried a couple of times?"
Jiang Huayan's expression was a little pale, and she looked at Jiang Tian with a hesitant expression.
Jiang Tian ignored the pleading in her eyes, her smile remaining unchanged.
Jiang Huayan looked very sad. She lowered her head and said, "If you are willing to help, the Jiang family will be extremely grateful."
"You expect me to risk my life to plead for your father with just a word of gratitude? Is there a better deal in this world?"
Jiang Huayan couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing that the palace servants around them were far away, she closed her eyes and said in a very soft voice, "Eldest sister, please help Father..."
