Jiang Changhe has returned. Along with the sound of her footsteps came her soft laughter: "Is it so lively inside?"
The voice was gentle as a spring breeze, yet it sent a chill down someone's spine.
Shao Yu's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Before the ferocity in her eyes had completely faded, she had already subconsciously taken a step back, then another.
Jiang Changhe's white skirt fluttered in the wind as she walked in, like a fairy.
Her gaze only briefly swept across Shao Yu's face, yet it was enough to make her legs go weak.
"What are you all talking about? Why is everyone so quiet?"
She tilted her head and looked at everyone, her tone somewhat apologetic: "My brother won't be back for a while, so I'm sorry to have troubled you all to wait. How about I show you around?"
They made no attempt to mention what had just happened.
If the people in the living room really wanted to become her relatives, they naturally wouldn't refute her words.
After all, it's a private matter, and even though she's at home now, you can't say she's done anything wrong.
As for how to handle or resolve this, please feel free to do as you please once you leave her house.
Madam Meng was at a loss for what to do and instinctively looked towards Wei Wei behind her.
Wei Wei immediately nudged her waist and whispered a reminder: "Second Aunt, don't hesitate, Young Madam Wei is still glaring at you!"
Madam Meng trembled. The ferocity she had just witnessed had terrified her, and she could no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Not daring to linger any longer, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Jiang."
She said impatiently, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't disturb your enjoyment."
"If there is an opportunity next time, I will invite Ms. Jiang to my home to express my apologies."
He can't even utter a single tough word; he's a complete waste!
Wei Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly.
Jiang Changhe asked with concern, "Is it serious? I have a doctor in my household, why don't you ask him to take a look?"
Madam Meng quickly shook her head guiltily, "No need, no need, I'll be fine after a rest."
"Oh well."
Jiang Changhe smiled regretfully, then turned his gaze to Wei Wei behind her: "Then why doesn't Madam Meng stay and join us..."
Wei Wei immediately shook her head in refusal, her face full of apology: "I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, my family member isn't feeling well. How can I possibly enjoy myself here?"
They even dared to interrupt her! Jiang Changhe could barely contain his smile.
Her third brother hasn't returned yet, and she hasn't had a chance to use the methods she wanted to employ.
This crucial piece is about to be lost!
She was speechless for a moment and fell silent, which was unusual for her.
But that wasn't all; Wei Cheng also spoke up at this moment.
"Miss Jiang, I'm a bit tired today, and I'm really sorry I can't stay any longer. If you don't mind, would you like to come to my house for a visit next time?"
The smile vanished from Jiang Changhe's face.
Especially since someone else spoke up as soon as she finished speaking.
“Miss Jiang, since everyone is tired, we won’t trouble you to stay with us any longer.”
"Next time, let us natives treat you."
Jiang Changhe's lips were tightly pressed together, and his lowered eyes were extremely cold.
When she looked up again, a smile returned to her face.
"In that case, let's get together again next time."
She spoke gently, "I apologize for not being a good host this time."
"No, no..."
She agreed, which relieved everyone's worries.
The atmosphere became lively again.
After a few words, she called her maid to her side: "When taking the young ladies and ladies out, the proper etiquette must not be neglected in the slightest."
Wei Wei helped Madam Meng and the others walk out.
Just before leaving, she suddenly turned her head and saw Shao Yu standing there like a wooden statue, not daring to move an inch.
Whether she leaves or not is no longer of any concern to anyone.
The wicked will be punished by the wicked. Madam Wei, your retribution has only just begun.
She quickly turned back.
He was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Madam Wei without seeming too abrupt.
With everyone gone, Shao Yu could no longer hold on and knelt down on the ground.
A pair of white embroidered shoes suddenly appeared in front of her.
The pattern on it is exquisite, and it even features a flower.
Before she could even see what kind of flower it was, a foot wearing shoes had already mercilessly reached out and kicked her right in the heart.
The force was great, and Xiaoyu fell backward to the ground. Even though she was in excruciating pain, she didn't dare to utter a sound.
"Do you know how much of my plans you ruined today?" Jiang Changhe's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes were spitting fire.
She stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed Shao Yu's hair tightly, almost pulling it out by the roots.
“I knew you were ambitious when you were serving me, but I never realized you were also so foolish!”
She said fiercely, "Those people are indeed pawns, but until we achieve our goal, we will still have to treat them like royalty!"
"Didn't you see what I did? How dare you be so audacious as to court death!"
Shao Yu was so terrified that her whole body felt like a lump of mud, letting the person in front of her vent their dissatisfaction on her.
The only thing they could say was to keep begging for mercy.
"I was wrong...I will never do it again..."
She knew she wouldn't die; her mission wasn't finished yet. If she disappeared without a trace, Madam Wei would definitely report it to the authorities.
But the torment and pain that are due now will not be lacking.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Changhe finally released her, exhausted.
A woman in her thirties next to me handed me a wet wipe to clean my hands.
Then he helped her sit down in a seat to the side.
Shao Yu lay on the ground, her life hanging in the balance. From her rolled-up sleeves, it was clear that her arms were covered in purplish-blue bruises.
"Kneel down properly! My third brother isn't here, who are you trying to impress with this pathetic act?" Jiang Changhe said with a gloomy face.
The look on his face suggested he wanted to teach him a lesson again.
"Master, please don't be angry anymore. It's not worth getting sick from anger."
The middle-aged woman next to her advised, "She's still useful, and she'll be going back soon. If you beat her too badly, it will give people away."
"Aunt Nie."
Jiang Changhe looked at Shao Yu, who was struggling and kneeling humbly on the ground, and asked, "You were watching from inside just now. Did any of these people notice anything?"
The middle-aged woman, called Aunt Nie, was rather thin and didn't smile much.
But her long, narrow eyes were extremely sharp, and it was clear at a glance that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Changhe trusted her completely.
At this moment, her eyes flickered, and she said, "If we're talking about the most unusual one, it has to be Shaoyu's mother-in-law."
Jiang Changhe frowned: "What's unusual about this?"
"This useless woman not only had no way to help her husband and son after their deaths, but her own property was also about to be taken away by others. What abilities does she have?"
