Just then, Jiang Jingyue heard a noise outside. The already dilapidated wooden door was gently pushed open, and it looked so precarious that Jiang Jingyue was worried it would fall down.
"Miss, Miss, something terrible has happened! The Third Young Master is coming here with the Second Miss. I'm afraid he's here to cause trouble for you again, Eldest Miss."
"Miss, why don't you hide quickly? I'm here, and I promise they won't find you."
Jiang Jingyue knew from the original owner's memories that this maid was left to her by her mother and was extremely loyal to her.
At this moment, she was covered in sweat, her face looked rather pale, and she looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy, which made Jiang Jingyu feel a little sorry for her.
"Qiuhua, don't worry. Even if they come now, they won't dare to do anything to me. I am now Consort Jing, personally appointed by the Empress Dowager. Even if they see me, they will have to bow to me."
For some reason, Qiu Hua felt that her master seemed to have changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Miss, are you really not going to hide? What if the young master hits you again? Have you forgotten last time... last time..."
Qiu Hua couldn't finish speaking, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at Jiang Jingyue.
"Qiuhua, don't worry! Your young lady isn't that foolish anymore. Since they don't want me, why should I continue to lick their boots like a dog? From today onwards, I'm going to be myself."
Those who have wronged me in the past, I will repay them tenfold, a hundredfold, making them wish they were dead.
Qiu Hua was now certain that her young lady was truly different; she exuded a powerful aura. At this moment, she sensed that something was about to change.
Suddenly, a loud crash came from the doorway. The wooden door, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse, could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
The two people who entered were dressed in a light yellow gauze dress and had a double round hairpin in their hair with a jade hairpin inserted in it.
Jiang Jingyue recognized the hairpin; it was something from the original owner's mother's dowry. She never expected that they would take it out and use it.
"Oh dear! Sister, I didn't mean to. Your door is broken. Otherwise, I'll have your third brother fix it for you."
After saying this, the woman looked at the man standing next to her with an embarrassed expression.
"Fourth Brother, it's all Shu'er's fault. She was too rude and broke Sister's door. Fourth Brother, could you please help Sister fix it?"
The man's face was full of displeasure, his brows furrowed, and he stared intently at Jiang Jingyue.
"You want me to fix the door for you? Dream on! You can still sleep perfectly well without a door. Just sleep like this. Let me tell you, the reason I came here today is to warn you: don't bully Shu'er anymore. If I find out you're bullying her again, I won't let you off the hook."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Jingyue sneered, and her imposing voice instantly rang in their ears.
"Ha, who gave you the audacity to speak to me like that? Have you forgotten who I am?"
Jiang Jingyue suddenly spoke, and her first words were so threatening that the two people in front of her were stunned and didn't react for a moment.
When he finally realized what was happening, Jiang Minglang was furious and immediately prepared to hit Jiang Jingyue.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. The Jiang Jingyue of today is no longer the Jiang Jingyue he used to beat and scold.
The instant he reached out, Jiang Jingyue grabbed his hand and pulled it behind her.
The sound of bones breaking was exceptionally loud, followed by Jiang Minglang's cries of pain.
"Ouch! It hurts! Let go! My hand is broken."
Jiang Minglang struggled desperately, but Jiang Jingyue showed no intention of letting go.
"Fourth Brother, how does this feel? Do you remember when Jiang Shuyue lost something, and you immediately assumed I stole it without even asking what happened, and said you would break my hand to teach me a lesson?"
I felt the same pain back then.
When Jiang Jingyue said this, her eyes were calm and indifferent. For some reason, seeing Jiang Jingyue like this, Jiang Minglang suddenly felt a little flustered.
It felt as if something was slowly flowing away from his heart, but in that instant, he completely ignored the feeling.
"Jiang Jingyue, you deserved the way I treated you. Now you dare to treat me like this? You...you wait, I'm going to find my older brother right now and have him teach you a lesson."
As soon as Jiang Minglang finished speaking, he immediately called out.
"Shu'er, come help me, let's go!"
To Jiang Minglang's surprise, despite calling out several times, his dear sister did not come to help him.
Jiang Jingyue was standing in front of him, looking at him with a mocking smile.
“Your dear sister ran away when she saw you being beaten.”
Jiang Minglang's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You're talking nonsense! Shu'er isn't that kind of person. She must have gone to find someone to rescue me. Do you think Shu'er is like you, a vicious woman? Humph!"
Jiang Minglang, supporting his arm, slunk away.
Watching them leave, Jiang Jingyue clapped her hands, feeling pleased, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. In that instant, the landscape paled in comparison.
"Miss, you are so beautiful!"
Whether it was because she had taken a beauty pill or not, Jiang Jingyue was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
On her charming face, two bright eyes were as clear as autumn water, her eyebrows were curved, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her cheeks were as pink as flowers. She was as charming as a fairy descended from heaven.
Qiu Hua stared intently at Jiang Jingyue, unable to look away.
"Qiuhua, Qiuhua, snap out of it, we still have things to do..."
Qiu Hua was so stunned by Jiang Jingyue's gaze that she didn't come to her senses until Jiang Jingyue called her.
"Miss, what do we need to do now?"
Jiang Jingyue smiled and said, "Of course we'll negotiate terms. Don't they want your young lady to enter the palace? As long as the conditions are right, anything is negotiable."
Jiang Jingyue was destined to enter the palace anyway, but she could take whatever she could get. Besides, she had promised the original owner that she would help her get revenge on those who had bullied her.
"Let's go! Let's go find that scumbag father and negotiate. How long until we get to the palace?"
"Miss, there are three more days! People from the palace will come to take you to the palace then."
After three days, Jiang Jingyue nodded.
Enough. In the next three days, let's see how she turns this Jiang family mansion upside down.
"Miss, are you going to see the master? The master is in the study right now. I'll take you there."
