After finishing the remaining peaches, A-Jiang walked to the main gate of the Bai residence.
The plaque above the entrance has only two clean characters, without any signature or seal.
Although he didn't know which ancestor wrote it, A-Jiang knew that it was something that the Bai family had passed down through generations.
She came today for two reasons: to take it away and to take the ancestral hall away.
As A-Jiang stepped forward, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Where did this wild girl come from? Does she even know where she is, barging in like this? Doesn't she know any rules?!"
Ah Jiang almost laughed.
I vaguely remember that when I left Zhaoxian Taoist Temple and followed Granny Yang to Tianyu City, I was also told that I was unruly.
I've been away from home for five or six years, and I never expected that the first thing I'd hear when I got back would be something similar.
[Rules, rules, everyone tells her to follow the rules, but there are people among them who truly don't follow the rules!]
After today, it will never happen again. I will never give anyone the chance to talk to me like that again!
Ah Jiang told himself this in his heart.
A-Jiang spoke up: "I am Bai Chongjiang, the head of the Bai family. What rules do I need to follow when I return to my own home?"
Although I don't want to face such trivial matters, if I don't understand and resolve the past, I will always be bound by this cause and effect, and it will be difficult for me to break free.
After calming herself down, A-Jiang looked at the gatekeepers, but she didn't recognize either of them.
Ah Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. She had been a bit impatient. Even if she didn't give face to Jiang Songming and his wife, she should at least give face to the old lady.
Moreover, the Bai family ancestral hall is located here, and the memorial tablet of the birth mother is here.
Since she inherited everything from Bai Chongjiang, she needs to respect these things.
But there's no need to be too polite.
"Hehe, Bai family head, what kind of bewitching potion did you take this morning? Our Bai family head is Master Jiang, what does he have to do with a little brat like you?"
One of the gatekeepers, displeased by this, retorted directly.
The other doorman was taken aback when he heard this.
He muttered to himself, "Bai Chongjiang... Bai Chongjiang, this name sounds familiar."
My companion was getting a little annoyed: "What are you babbling about?"
"Hey, doesn't the name Bai Chongjiang sound familiar?"
A hint of suspicion flashed across the man's impatient face.
"Now that you mention it, it sounds like I've heard it somewhere before."
Ah Jiang wasn't in a hurry; he just stayed there watching over the two gatekeepers.
His hired servants had arrived, but Ah Jiang decided to try diplomacy first before resorting to force.
"Yes, yes, Third Miss?"
"Third Miss, which Third Miss are you referring to?"
"Ah, yes, that person?"
The two whispered among themselves and finally remembered who Bai Chongjiang was.
Actually, this was all thanks to the gossip about the Third Prince. This anecdote made them remember this Third Miss who didn't really exist.
"Third Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go and inform them."
One gatekeeper ran into the courtyard, while another, somewhat curious, secretly peeked at Ah Jiang.
Although the gatekeeper was not a cultivator, he was, after all, a servant of a cultivation family and had some perspective.
The girl in front of me was unassuming, but there was something about her that was hard to describe.
It felt strange to both find him somewhat unfathomable and to see him as just an ordinary mortal.
The gatekeeper shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it.
Not long after, the door opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in her finest attire stood before A-Jiang.
Her face hadn't changed much; her hair was piled high with gold and jade, her clothes were embroidered, and she maintained her figure very well, still a beautiful woman with enduring charm.
Ah Jiang still remembers what Zhang Shi said in her ear when she was about to be beaten to death.
Those words chilled her to the bone, filled her with fear, and made her doubt herself.
Even now, I've been completely transformed, but seeing her still reminds me of that night when I was in excruciating pain.
Zhang, who had been Jiang Da's mistress, became the legitimate matriarch of the Bai family and lived a carefree and happy life.
However, he exploited the Bai family's bloodline to the bone, and sent the frail and weak girl to the Third Prince as a concubine.
Only a beast would do such a thing.
She was not ashamed at all, but rather proud!
