Madam Jiang's husband wasn't angry either, and he and his wife doted on their younger sister.
But……
After Lan Yangyang died, Old Madam Jiang fell ill and saw countless doctors, but none of them could cure her.
Medicine cannot cure mental illness; only mental medicine can cure mental illness.
Seeing that her health was deteriorating, the Duke's Mansion sent her to Sifang Town in the hope that it would help her.
Madam Jiang's health has indeed improved a lot, but she still secretly wipes away tears whenever she thinks of the past. Granny Zhao feels sorry for Madam Jiang and also secretly wipes away tears.
After seeing Shen Danru, Old Madam Jiang seemed to have hope in her heart, and her mood improved a lot. She talked about seeing the girl every day, and Zhao Mama was happy for her.
But the thought that Shen Danru might have some other ulterior motive to use the old lady made her extremely worried.
Shen Danru asked Jiang Jingxian, "I'm going to the Jiang residence. Do you want to go back?"
Jiang Jingxian shook her head repeatedly, like a rattle-drum.
Shen Danru sighed and said:
"I forgot to tell you a few days ago that your grandmother, Madam Jiang, is sick. Your older brother said she hasn't been able to eat for several days, and we don't know how she is now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxian panicked and grabbed Shen Danru's hand, asking:
"When did this happen? Why is my grandmother having another attack?"
"Why don't you come back with me? I'll try to persuade Madam Jiang and your elder brother not to send you back to Shengjing. But you have to keep your promise to me a secret."
Jiang Jingxian certainly remembered the promise she made to Shen Danru, which was about the things in Shengjing.
Grandmother and eldest brother must have never met Sister Ru, otherwise they would have recognized her.
Since she had promised Sister Ru, she certainly wouldn't go back on her word.
But at this moment, she was conflicted, worried about her grandmother but also not wanting to go back.
She was afraid that if she went back, her elder brother would really send her back to Shengjing, and she didn't know if he would listen to her sister.
After considering it for a moment, he was still worried about Madam Jiang's health, so he agreed.
But at that moment, I felt uneasy.
The weather was exceptionally nice today, and the horse seemed to be in a good mood, running happily. Before long, they arrived at the gate of the Jiang residence.
Qingtan helped Shen Danru and Jiang Jingxian off the carriage, but unexpectedly they ran into Lan Bing'er, who was also getting off the carriage.
Since her previous mistake, Lan Bing'er has been taking many more servants with her whenever she goes out.
This time, he brought not only a maid and an old woman, but also four servants, one of whom was a master.
As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Shen Danru and the other two.
She immediately flew into a rage and ordered the servants:
"Go quickly and capture those three. These are the three of them. Now that they're in my hands, I'll show them how I torture them."
Four servants surrounded them.
When Jiang Jingxian saw that she was being bullied by the Lan family right at her own doorstep, she immediately became furious.
"Who do we have here? Oh, it's you. Looks like you weren't satisfied with the last time you were beaten, so you're here to get another beating?"
When the old woman beside Lan Bing'er heard Jiang Jingxian say this, she immediately knew that her young mistress had fallen into the hands of these wretches last time.
Ever since their young lady was beaten last time, she has been throwing things around at home every day and is very difficult to serve, which has undoubtedly increased the workload for the servants.
These three people are poorly dressed, all in coarse cloth. They look like they come from poor families. How dare they offend the Lan family? Don't they want to live?
She angrily retorted, "How dare you hit our young lady! Don't you know who our young lady is?"
Jiang Jingxian: "I don't care who you are, I've already hit you."
The old woman realized that these three people didn't know that their young lady was from the Lan family; no wonder they were so bold.
Old woman: "You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, you'll be scared to death if I told you."
Jiang Jingxian scoffed: "Oh?"
The old woman couldn't stand Jiang Jingxian's appearance and wanted to slap her a few times.
“The Lan family, you have offended the Lan family. Our young lady is the eldest young lady of the Lan family.”
At this moment, Lan Bing'er held her head high, looking at the three of them arrogantly, her eyes filled with contempt.
She wanted to see how terrified these three would be when they heard she was from the Lan family.
She was always very confident in her identity. In Sifang Town, no, it could be said that in the entire Ningzhou City, no one dared to offend the Lan family.
Everyone who saw her rushed to fawn over her, acting all ingratiating.
But what did she see and hear?
"Oh my, Miss Lan, you scared me to death!" Jiang Jingxian turned to Shen Danru with a smile and asked.
"Sister Ru, she said she's from the Lan family. Is the Lan family very powerful? Have you ever heard of the Lan family?"
Shen Danru shook her head in agreement.
Lan Bing'er didn't see the panic of the three people. Instead, she remained calm and composed, her eyes filled with contempt, especially towards Jiang Jingxian. She really wanted to go up and tear her face off.
The old woman raised her voice: "You don't even know the Lan family? Do you know the consequences of offending the Lan family?"
Jiang Jingxian chuckled awkwardly: "I don't know, what is the Lan family anyway?"
Upon hearing that these women didn't even know the Lan family, assuming they were from some remote, impoverished place, and yet dared to insult the Lan family like this, Lan Bing'er's blood boiled. Pointing at Chen Danru and the other two, her voice shrill:
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
Qingtan shielded Shen Danru and Jiang Jingxian behind her and fought with the four servants.
But once the fight started, she was secretly surprised to find that one of the men was just as skilled as she was.
Qingtan believed that she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and that her skills were already very good. She never expected that there would be such a master in such a small place.
She was confident she could take down one person, but she was having a tough time with these four.
