[Are you annoying? Here we go again! ]
"She always looks like a miserable, beaten-up girl. Mother, she must have that 'paranoia' you mentioned. Absolutely!"
Not to mention anyone else, even little Yan Zhi couldn't stand it and kept rolling his eyes in the adults' arms.
After 100 days of rebirth, his fear of Jiang Yilin has gradually faded, replaced by hatred and disgust.
I wish she would disappear immediately.
But this is not something that can be done easily, because Luo protects Jiang Yilin very closely. These days, she even moved to Biboyuan to live and eat with her, just to counter the old lady's plan to send Jiang Yilin away.
This is why Jiang Yilin was able to show her presence at the banquet.
Jiang Ying smiled, his eyes cold and expressionless. "Give it to me? Miss Yilin, are you mistaken? Aren't those things of yours supposed to be mine?"
"Let's not talk about whether you deliberately usurped the position of the Jiang family's legitimate daughter. After the truth was revealed, you didn't atone for your sins immediately. Instead, you deliberately waited until everyone was here today to say such hypocritical words. Oh, you're not smart enough, but you think everyone else is stupid?"
"Okay, if you want to return it, I'll give you a favor and accept it! However, while the things can be returned, how are you going to repay the love your elders, your parents, and your brothers have shown you over the past sixteen years?"
A series of soul-searching questions made Jiang Yilin's face turn even paler.
The whispers around were full of accusations.
"Yeah, what is she doing here at this time? She's obviously not the protagonist today!"
"Perhaps the Duke's daughter is so used to being so arrogant that she can't control herself for the moment."
"I heard that the one who got to enjoy the good life was her own grandmother. Tsk tsk, if I were her, I wouldn't have the nerve to come out. I would have been hiding long ago!"
"I..." Jiang Yilin twisted her hands, her eyes moist and she was about to collapse.
Mu Wanbai jumped out, "Jiang Ying, don't go too far. Even if Linlin isn't a legitimate daughter, she's still an adopted daughter. You two are still sisters! A true lady from a noble family always gets along well with her sisters, sharing the same blood and family ties."
These words undoubtedly mocked Jiang Ying's lack of education as he grew up in the countryside.
Jiang Ying slowly took a step towards Mu Wanbai, "Miss Mu, it seems you really can't bear to see your little sister suffer any injustice. You are so kind-hearted, why not take her to your home and make her your adopted daughter?
"Wouldn't this better fulfill your sisterly love and bond?"
"You--" Mu Wanbai's face suddenly turned red, and she raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Ying's nose angrily.
Jiang Ying opened her hand. "Why, you're unwilling? You, a lady from a noble family, are really no more than this? And why did I hear that Miss Mu and my second brother were in love and were even discussing marriage, but recently she's been getting close to Yan Shan, the second son of the Qin Prince's Mansion? Yesterday at the hundred-day banquet, the Qin Prince's wife acted like she was her daughter-in-law. Perhaps this is what Miss Mu meant by "a noble demeanor"?"
Mu Wanbai's eyes were bloodshot, her face was as red as a palette, and she rushed towards Jiang Ying with red eyes, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't! I... I'm going to tear your stinky mouth apart!"
Bang——!
Suddenly, a loud gong sound was heard from the stage behind everyone.
Interrupted the quarrel between several little girls.
Everyone was startled and looked back, only to find that four people had already stood on the stage - oh no, four golden and lifelike lions.
Jiang Shang coughed twice and called out, "Everyone, the show is about to begin. Please sit down. These quarrels between children are just trivial matters."
There are many guests today, and Jiang Shang doesn't want to end up in a bad mood.
As he said this, he glanced at Jiang Yilin with disapproval.
We had clearly agreed before that everything would wait until after Sister Ying's homecoming banquet was held. This is what the Jiang family owed Sister Ying for so many years, so everything must go smoothly.
But she never thought that she couldn't help but come out!
At this moment, Jiang Shang felt a little bit of blame and impatience towards Jiang Yilin who was pretending to be pitiful.
Jiang Yilin's heart skipped a beat when she noticed it, and she quickly stepped forward and tugged at Jiang Shang's sleeve, "Father, it wasn't me... I was just hiding behind a pillar and watching, and I didn't realize it was Miss Mu..."
She looked weak, with drooping eyes, and choked with sobs, showing that she was completely helpless.
Jiang Yilin calculated that Jiang Shang would not be able to escape her move.
But she forgot that the old lady had the sharpest eyes and snorted on the spot, "Hmph, so you're saying that she's envious of Sister Ying for finally hosting a banquet? Shang'er, think carefully. In the past sixteen years, when she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, you and your wife, an old woman like me, have hosted countless banquets for her, big and small. It's not even Sister Ying's just this one, and yet she's so jealous she's jumping up and down like a rabbit, her eyes red!"
"I think what Sister Ying said about her is absolutely correct. She's hypocritical, unrepentant, and short-sighted, unable to see the good in others!"
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Ying away, shaking his head, "Why is it so, why is it so!"
Seeing that Jiang Shang's face looked strange, Jiang Yilin trembled all over and began to panic.
Especially now that Mu Wanbai was taken away by Madam Mu and sat down, she had no help.
No, no, her father loves her so much, he won’t doubt her!
Jiang Yilin encouraged herself and grabbed Jiang Shang's sleeve again, "Daddy, it's my fault. I didn't know my sister was so unhappy when she saw me. If I knew, I wouldn't show up no matter what..."
"Dad, I'm sorry, I couldn't do what I promised you, I... I'm leaving now, Dad, don't be angry.
"As long as Daddy, Mommy, and my brothers are all well, it doesn't matter if I end up standing in an inconspicuous corner forever.
"...Thank you, Daddy, for allowing me to stay in the Jiang family. Seeing everyone happy and joyful makes me content."
Jiang Yilin tried her best to maintain her pitiful image in front of Jiang Shang.
She is also an image of a filial daughter who yearns for her family and is willing to sacrifice for them.
Jiang Shang said nothing, his eyes full of struggle.
Jiang Yilin pursed her lips and said, "Dad, I'm really sorry. I'm leaving and it won't affect my sister."
Thinking of what she had just said, that she would give all the money she had earned from the Jiang family to Jiang Ying, Jiang Yilin felt very painful, but in order to win back Jiang Shang, she had to harden her heart, "Dad, I'm not kidding. Tomorrow I will give all the gifts I have received over the years... all to my sister."
"Sister Lin." Suddenly, Jiang Shang called her.
Jiang Yilin was flattered and raised her head. "Dad, you are not angry anymore? Well, go ahead."
Jiang Shang frowned, and after struggling for a while, he finally said, "From now on, don't call me daddy, call me foster father."

I've been on hiatus for 6 days. I'll remember this shameful number. Woohoo!
