Jiang Yi put her arm around Jiang Si's shoulders and said, "Fourth sister, aren't you afraid that others will spread gossip about you? You are now the future princess, and there are so many eyes staring at you."
Jiang Si played with the empty teacup and said with a half-smile, "Who would spread it? If the servants in the mansion dare to gossip, the first person who will not forgive them is grandma!"
Her grandmother is the one who is least worrying. As long as it is in the interests of the Earl's family, no matter how much she dislikes her in her heart, she will be the one who protects her reputation the most.
"That's not necessary. Now that I know who Jiang Qian is, we should just stay away from her from now on."
Jiang Si put the cup on the table and his smile turned cold: "If a pile of shit is left in the middle of the road, does that mean everyone has to take a detour? Why can't we just shovel the shit away?"
Jiang Yi was stunned: "Fourth sister, what do you mean——"
Jiang Si raised his chin slightly and said word by word: "I will drive her out of the Bo's house!"
Those injuries were not avoided because Jiang Qian stopped, but because she tried her best to save herself. Just because she was not hurt in the end, do those crimes count?
This is how the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty work, but she doesn't think so in her heart!
Whether for herself in her previous life or for her elder sister and her daughter now, she must deal with Jiang Qian. If she is soft-hearted for a moment and leaves trouble behind, then she will regret it in the future and that would be a sign of mental illness.
The news that Jiang Qian came to congratulate Jiang Si but was unable to get in quickly spread throughout the mansion like wildfire.
The first person to come to Jiang Qian's yard was Ah Fu who was beside Old Madam Feng.
Looking at the pretty maid in a pink bodice, Jiang Qian propped herself up and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, Ah Fu? Does the old lady want to see me for something?"
Among all the granddaughters, her grandmother loved her the most. Although she later realized what her grandmother cared about the most, could her grandmother just turn a blind eye to Jiang Si's humiliation of her?
Jiang Qian felt a little excited.
When people are in desperate situations, it is always easy for them to have hope.
Maybe... maybe it's not that bad?
Ah Fu looked at the second aunt who had enjoyed such great glory in the past, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; the world is so unpredictable.
Ah Fu bowed briefly to Jiang Qian and said expressionlessly, "I am here on the orders of the old lady to tell the second aunt to stay out of the courtyard less often, especially to the fourth lady. The fourth lady is a noble lady now, please don't bring bad luck to her..."
Jiang Qian was shocked and blurted out: "Did the old lady say this?"
Ah Fu recited Madam Feng's instructions in one breath. Unable to bear looking into Jiang Qian's eyes, she bowed to her again, "How dare I speak nonsense. Second Aunt, please take a rest. I have to go back and report."
Jiang Qian was still in a daze until Ah Fu had left for a long time.
After a long time, she burst into laughter.
"Second Aunt——" The maid was a little scared.
"Okay, okay, this is my real grandmother!" Jiang Qian gritted her teeth and said, grabbing the maid's wrist, "Isn't anyone coming from the Second Madam's place?"
As they were talking, Mrs. Xiao came in.
Mrs. Xiao has been coming here quite often lately, so there is no need to report to us.
"Second aunt, what's going on?" Mrs. Xiao walked quickly to Jiang Qian's side with a concerned look on her face.
"Nothing." Jiang Qian raised her hand to wipe her eyes and asked, "How is Madam doing recently?"
Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Second Aunt doesn't know yet. As soon as the imperial decree of marriage was issued, the old lady handed over the housekeeping to the third wife and told her to take good care of herself."
Jiang Qian stood up suddenly, then sat down slowly, sneering, "When one person succeeds, everyone will prosper. Those who don't like this person will naturally be sent to hell."
Mrs. Xiao sighed again: "It's not easy for the Madam. She was humiliated by the old lady in public. Now the old man doesn't even go into the Madam's house. He either stays at the concubine's place or in the study..."
After that, Jiang Qian learned a lot of things from Mrs. Xiao.
For example, the fourth lady's wedding date was set on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the palace specially sent someone to take measurements for the fourth lady and tailor clothes for her, and the gifts Haitangju received piled up like a mountain...
In contrast, the treatment here is getting worse day by day, and in the end, even eating a hot meal depends on the mood of the kitchen staff.
Many people are best at taking advantage of high ground.
Everything stimulated Jiang Qian's sensitive and fragile nerves.
But this nerve finally broke when Jiang Qian found that even the servants in her own yard could not be moved by her calls.
It's already February, but the weather is still cold. I still need to wear more clothes in the morning to keep warm.
Jiang Qian was wearing an autumn-scented jacket that was about 80% new. This year, she did not receive any spring clothes from the sewing room, so the jacket was made when she was in the Changxing Marquis' Mansion.
But all this didn't matter to Jiang Qian. She put her hands into her sleeves and walked towards the door.
The maid guarding the gate was actually dozing off.
Jiang Qian secretly said, "God is helping me!" and she tiptoed past the maid and slipped out the door.
The wind was strong outside the courtyard. Jiang Qian took a deep breath and felt as free as if she was about to fly.
She raised her head, letting the rising sun cast its warm golden rays, and strode forward.
She once thought that her days in Changxing Marquis' Mansion were hell, but now she realized that Dongping Marquis' Mansion was not the human world at all.
Whether it's the human world or hell, it all depends on herself. Since she has no way to crawl back from hell, she might as well drag the person she hates the most into hell with her.
Jiang Qian hated many people, and of course Jiang Si the most.
They were sisters from the same mansion, and she had obviously been the most promising one since she was young. Why had she become the mud that was trampled on by Jiang Si at will?
That day Jiang Si refused to see her without even trying to cover himself up. This was an attempt to push her to death!
The garden of the Bo Mansion was already green. Jiang Qian saw two women walking side by side from afar and couldn't help but smile.
The information I got from Xiao's mother was indeed reliable. Recently, Jiang Si often took Jiang Yi for walks in the garden.
Haha, this is a deep sisterly love. Are you worried that you won’t see each other after you leave the house?
She will soon let that bitch Jiang Si know what it means to be truly invisible!
Jiang Qian straightened her clothes and walked towards Jiang Si and Jiang Yi with a smile.
Jiang Yi had already spotted Jiang Qian coming towards her, and gently pulled Jiang Si: "Fourth sister, Jiang Qian is coming."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Since we have met, let's say hello."
Jiang Yi felt uneasy for some reason. She stopped and lowered her voice, "I heard that grandma didn't allow Jiang Qian to go out. Why did she come to the garden so early in the morning?"
Seeing Jiang Qian approaching, Jiang Si smiled meaningfully, "Although her grandmother told her to stay out less, she is not in prison after all. If she stays in a small place for too long, she will have to come out for a breath of fresh air. There is nothing strange about that."
As they were talking, Jiang Qian had already come closer and greeted them first: "Big sister, fourth sister, what a coincidence."
