Seeing that she was unruly, Madame Chiang pressed the cotton swab in her hand hard against her wound.
Jiang Yiyi cried out in pain, and Madam Jiang then softened her tone and continued to scold her, "Do you think our family is still the same Jiang family as before? How many times have I told you to be more restrained in the future? The person in charge is no longer our family's backer."
Madame Chiang knew that her husband had chosen the wrong side when he was choosing sides a few years ago. The person in charge now was the one who opposed the Chiang family in the past. There had been rumors for a while that the person in charge was going to be purged this year, and who knew if it would affect the Chiang family.
At this point, the most important thing is to conceal your brilliance and keep a low profile. You can no longer be as glamorous as before.
The decision to marry into the Qin family was also intended to keep a low profile and to make it clear to the higher-ups that the Jiang family had no intention of competing further. Otherwise, given the Jiang family's prestige, how could they possibly have a marriage alliance with a family of the Qin family's caliber?
"You better remember this from now on: you can't afford to offend any member of the Xu family. Tomorrow you'd better go to the police station and explain yourself. If you continue to be so willful, your grandfather and father will beat you to death, and I won't be able to handle it!" Madam Jiang rarely spoke sternly to her only daughter.
"How can that be? If I change my story, wouldn't that be admitting to perjury? Besides, Zhang Yijia has already done as I said." Jiang Yiyi was very unwilling to let Ni Sitian off the hook like this. Even if she couldn't deal with Ni Sitian, she could at least make her go to the police station a few more times.
“What is Zhang Yijia anyway? She’s just a junior of yours. Besides, she can’t be clean about this either. Why do you care so much about her? Anyway, you have to explain things clearly tomorrow!” Madam Jiang pressed hard on her wound again.
Jiang Yiyi winced in pain, repeatedly agreeing.
Madam Jiang then stopped, gently applying her wound, and earnestly advised, "Also, you should stop fooling around outside. The Qin family is not as good as ours now, but the Qin family is good at scheming. Mu Bei seems like a good kid. Live well with him, and good days are yet to come."
"Mom, I've already told you not to offend the Xu family, but now you want me to flatter Qin Mubei? What is the Qin family anyway? I've already done my best by getting engaged to Qin Mubei as you all suggested. Don't expect me to live with him." Jiang Yiyi was very disdainful of the Qin family and Qin Mubei. She felt that in ancient times, her situation would be considered a princess marrying down. Anyway, what could the Qin family and Qin Mubei possibly do to her?
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Madame Chiang exclaimed, poking her forehead in exasperation.
"Qin Mubei isn't exactly clean outside either. He still can't forget Ni Sitian, who is already Mrs. Xu."
Madam Jiang's face darkened further upon hearing this. She already knew that Madam Qin had offended Ni Sitian, and now with Jiang Yiyi's behavior, she feared that both families...
"You're going to stay home this month." Madam Jiang had no other choice but to confine Jiang Yiyi to prevent her from causing trouble.
"Mom!" Jiang Yiyi saw that her mother was unusually strict and wanted to fight for herself again.
Madame Chiang got up and left, ignoring her injuries.
Jiang Yiyi tried to stand up, but as soon as she moved, all the bones in her body ached, and she gasped for breath.
Once he recovered, his face became even more ferocious, and he gritted his teeth: "Ni Sitian! I won't let this go so easily!"
Her expression was unusually fierce, as if she wanted to devour someone.
