unlucky person
"You, what are you doing? You scared me to death!" The girl holding Jiang Jingmang's hand was shocked and her eyes widened instantly.
The girl stood up and fiercely glanced at the few young men who were looking at this place by the rockery, then turned to look at her and said sternly: "Jiang Jingyue, what did you call them here for?!
"Can these few talismans and pills offset your guilt? With these magical instruments and pills, you feel relieved, don't you? Are you happy?"
Jiang Jingyue paused, loosened her grip on Jiang Jingmang's hand, and her expression gradually turned unfriendly. She looked at her and her voice sank, "They heard the news and came here on their own. What does it have to do with me?
"Jiang Jinghuan, your words are a bit too harsh! I gave Jiang Jingmang the elixir and talismans out of kindness, but how come you say it's to offset my guilt? What? Is sending Jiang Jingmang to Lin Country empty-handed a sign of guilt?"
Jiang Jingyue sneered, "Do I need to remind you of something? Hypocrisy!"
Jiang Jinghuan's expression froze for a moment after she said this, but she immediately said angrily, "Then why did you let them stay?! You're crying over here, and they're laughing over there, is that funny?!
"What's wrong with what I said? Jiang Jingmang got into this kind of trouble, and you're just being amused by their few words?!
"How will Jiang Jingmang see you? How sad have you made Jiang Jingmang?!"
Jiang Jinghuan's eyes flushed red as he spoke, glaring at her fiercely and saying, "Did you drag Jiang Jingmang out here just to make a fool of yourself in front of them?!"
"Then why are you pretending to be a good person here?!" Jiang Jingyue's suppressed anger suddenly flared up after hearing this. She opened her mouth and said, "If you really want to be good to Jiang Jingmang, then you can go to Lin Country in her place! In the final analysis, you just don't want to go, but you want to pretend to be a good person!!"
Jiang Jinghuan was trembling all over, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves, her face full of anger, "You!"
"It's okay, stop arguing." Jiang Jingmang, who had been smiling and silent, suddenly spoke softly to interrupt their quarrel.
Jiang Jingmang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Things have come to this point. Don't be unhappy about this little thing."
"Hmph!" Jiang Jingyue sneered at Jiang Jinghuan upon hearing this, "Look, Jiang Jingmang wasn't sad to begin with. Do we have to cry and whine until we send Jiang Jingmang off to Lin Country, making him sad for no reason?!"
Jiang Jingyue stared at Jiang Jinghuan's eyes with a bad look, and said word by word, "She's not as timid as you."
Jiang Jinghuan's face paled. Her heart trembled violently, her eyes flushed red, and hot tears instantly fell. From the corner of her eye, she saw the young men beside the rockery stop what they were doing, each grinning and looking over at her. Jiang Jinghuan angrily flung her sleeves and ran away, leaving behind only a sentence full of anger and grievance:
"Jiang Jingyue, you really let them see the excitement!!!"
Crystal tears slid across the air, sparkling colorful lights in the sunlight. The black hair flew, and the figure raised his hand to wipe the tears and ran away.
Jiang Jingyue snorted, turned her head back, looked at Jiang Jingmang in front of her, calmed down, smiled lightly and said, "Have you packed everything? If you need anything, be sure to tell us!"
Jiang Jingmang smiled and nodded.
The smile on Jiang Jingyue's face suddenly became brighter and more charming. She held Jiang Jingmang's hands, but her smile did not reach her eyes.
…………
Half a month later.
That day, the midday sun was intense, dispelling the chill and creating a warmth as it shone through the window lattices. Inside the magnificent palace, Jiang Jingjian directed the servants to lift boxes of belongings, while Jiang Jingyuan sat quietly watching.
"Are you bored? Do you want to go back and rest?" Jiang Jing turned around and looked at the girl in a goose yellow dress and asked.
Jiang Jingyuan was about to put the pastry into his mouth, but when he heard this, he paused, looked up at him and shook his head slightly.
Jiang Jingjian smiled, said nothing more, turned his head and continued to watch the palace servants walking back and forth.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Jiang Jingyuan suddenly asked.
Jiang Jingjian paused, and said "hmm" with his back to her.
Jiang Jingyuan also said "hmm", knowing that he couldn't see, but still nodded subconsciously in understanding.
The palace was completely silent, with only the dull thud of the palace servants' footsteps echoing continuously. The servants moving things were curious, but none dared to look up at the silent two. Instead, they lowered their heads even lower, fearing that a single mistake would bring bad luck.
"Your Highness Prince Yan, everything has been packed..." A palace servant was pushed forward and said with a stiff face.
Jiang Jingjian nodded.
——The one who came from Chen Kingdom this time was the crown prince, and the Rong family also took this opportunity to fight for the title of King of Yan for him. Only after he returned from Chen Kingdom could the Rong family fight for the position of crown prince for him.
After the palace maids left the hall one after another, Jiang Jingyuan also stood up and prepared to go back.
As she stepped out of the hall, she suddenly heard Jiang Jingjian calling her from behind: "Jiang Jingyuan."
Jiang Jingyuan retracted his foot and looked back at him in confusion.
The slender pigtail with light green tassels swayed, and the black hair that was as silky as a waterfall fluttered in the wind. The girl standing in front of the palace door turned her head, and the sunlight outside the palace fell on her side face.
Jiang Jingyuan's face was calm and indifferent, as if even doubt and confusion could not leave any trace in her eyes. Her eyes were as dark as the endless abyss that the sunlight could not reach.
Although she was wearing a brightly colored dress and was clearly at an innocent and romantic age, her eyes seemed to flash with a cold sword, abruptly cutting through the lively and childish appearance that she had worked so hard to create.
Jiang Jingyuan looked at him with her calm eyes, her voice clear and clear:
"What's wrong?"
When did it become like this again? Even when he asked questions, his voice was always so calm and indifferent without any fluctuations?
Jiang Jingjian smiled and said, "It's okay, let's keep going."
Jiang Jingyuan paused, looked at him seriously again, then turned around and left.
Jiang Jingjian looked at her receding figure with a smile on his face.
What a pity...
Rong Xiang had a good plan, but after making so many plans, he forgot to ask Jiang Jingyuan.
…………
In the afternoon, it suddenly started to drizzle. The sunlight was no longer golden, but the sky did not become gray, but a clear light blue.
Inside the house, Jiang Jingyue held the soup bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other, scooping up the medicinal soup and feeding it to the girl in white who was sitting on the bed with a soft pillow.
The girl in white coughed softly twice, her face pale, and then drank the medicine. She looked sickly, but a hint of depression still lingered between her brows.
"I really don't know what you're being stubborn about..." Jiang Jingyue sighed helplessly and said in a gentle voice, "Whether we cry or laugh, what's the point? Look at you, you've made yourself sick from anger, and Jiang Jingmang still wants to go to Lin Country."
"Ahem..." Jiang Jinghuan coughed for a while, glanced at her, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't explain it to you clearly."
Jiang Jingyue chuckled, "Do you feel like you owe her something?"
Jiang Jinghuan closed his eyes and did not respond.
Jiang Jingyue's anger suddenly flared up. He clenched his spoon tightly and sneered, "What do we owe her? We could have given her nothing. Don't we need these things ourselves? But I gave them all to her anyway! Isn't that enough, Jiang Jinghuan? What else do you want from us?"
"But you all know that these things are nothing compared to going to Lin Country!" Jiang Jinghuan's eyes were sore and tears suddenly flowed. "And those people, didn't you see how they were laughing?! Jiang Jingmang's suffering, our suffering, in their eyes, is just a joke and a joke! Jiang Jingyue, I really admire you. How can you be the one making fun of others and then defend them?!"
Jiang Jingyue said angrily, "I don't understand what you're thinking! If the current ruler of Lin Country was a woman, they would be the ones sent as a marriage partner! What's the difference between us? I don't know why you're rejecting them like this!"
"Jiang Jingyue, you're stupid!" Jiang Jinghuan was so anxious that she bent over and coughed repeatedly, until tears fell from her eyes. She choked and said, "Haven't they done this enough times?!"
Tears fell faster and faster, and Jiang Jinghuan suddenly burst into tears, "Take Jiang Jingmang's case for example. How could Jiang Jingmang not be sad about such a one-way trip? And what about them? Why are they laughing and making fun of this?!
"If they did nothing, even if they remained silent, I wouldn't blame them! But what did they do? What did they say?
"Jiang Jingyue, are you really stupid?!"
As soon as these words came out, the anger on Jiang Jingyue's face immediately dissipated. She turned her eyes away from the girl in front of her who was crying as if she would faint at any moment. Her eyes were vague. She pursed her lips, frowned, and said stubbornly, "Anyway, we can't live in guilt for this matter for the rest of our lives. What does it matter whether we cry or laugh?"
"Then don't go looking for Jiang Jingmang!!!" Jiang Jinghuan cried, "Why on earth did you drag Jiang Jingmang out?! Aren't you hurting her again?"
"That's enough, Jiang Jinghuan!"
Jiang Jingyue threw the soup spoon and bowl onto the table with a thud and stood up abruptly. With a sullen face, she looked coldly at the girl in white before her, "What right do you have to blame me? What qualifications do you have to blame me? Isn't it you, a coward, who caused Jiang Jingmang's suffering? She could have joined us and fairly handed the right of choice to those outside, but you!"
She stared at Jiang Jinghuan and sneered, "You were the one who told us that you saw Jiang Jingmang raising a black cat! How could we not know what you were thinking? We did what happened to Jiang Jingmang together, and you still want to clear yourself of the charges?"
Jiang Jingyue's eyes turned cold, and she said, "I really don't understand what you're thinking. You've clearly done something bad, so why are you crying and feeling guilty? What? You're both good and bad at the same time. Do you think Jiang Jingmang will appreciate your kindness?"
"She didn't say anything, maybe she knew it a long time ago!
"Since she knows it clearly in her heart, why should we pretend in front of her?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Jinghuan on the bed suddenly bent over and trembled all over. Her tears soaked her sleeves, and a "woohoo" sob came from her folded arms.
Jiang Jingyue looked down at her with a cold tone, "Jiang Jinghuan, don't be silly."
She said, "Jiang Jingmang is innocent, but are we guilty of heinous crimes?! We don't want to harm her, we just want a stable life. We are all unlucky people who have no choice! There are only two choices: unlucky or even more unlucky. If we don't push her out, one of us will be the one who is more unlucky - then, will you feel at ease, Jiang Jinghuan?"
"I..." Jiang Jinghuan cried so hard that he was out of breath and couldn't speak.
"Think about it carefully!" Jiang Jingyue's face was cold, his eyes fierce, "I won't be sending Jiang Jingmang off in three days."
Jiang Jinghuan raised her head suddenly, and her face, which had been red from crying, turned pale in an instant. She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Jiang Jingyue looked into her eyes without avoiding her and said seriously, word by word:
"Not only me, but no one else will go either."
