As soon as Jiang Jingyue arrived at the study door, she heard sobbing inside. Without a doubt, it was Jiang Shuyue crying and complaining inside.
"System, listen to what they're saying inside. Are they talking badly about me?"
[Host, I'm sorry, you don't have enough points to redeem this item.]
Jiang Jingyue rolled her eyes. This system was really too stingy.
There's no other way; if your teammates are useless and can't help, you'll have to rely on yourself.
"Father, my sister has really gone too far. She even broke Third Brother's hand. You must teach her a lesson! Otherwise, Third Brother's hand will have been broken for nothing."
Fortunately, Jiang Minglang wasn't there at that moment, otherwise he would have been so angry he would have vomited blood.
So, in Jiang Shuyue's eyes, his suffering from a broken hand was just an excuse for her to teach Jiang Jingyue a lesson.
“I already know about this. I will teach her a lesson. Send someone to call her over. I want to see what this rebellious daughter is up to.”
Smack! Smack! Smack!
The sudden slap startled the two people in the study.
When she saw Jiang Jingyue slowly walk in, Jiang Shuyue immediately shouted.
"Father, is my sister eavesdropping? Otherwise, why would she be here?"
Seeing Jiang Jingyue enter, Jiang Shuyue felt uncomfortable. She felt that Jiang Jingyue looked even more beautiful today.
Jiang Jingyue was already prettier than her, and now she seems even prettier, which Jiang Shuyue finds hard to accept, and she wants to ruin her face.
When Prime Minister Jiang heard Jiang Shuyue say that, his expression changed, and he could no longer suppress his anger.
"Jiang Jingyue, are you trying to drive me crazy? Who taught you such ill-mannered behavior?"
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Jingyue smiled faintly and parted her lips slightly.
"What do you care who taught me? Don't you want me to enter the palace? I only have one condition."
Upon hearing that Jiang Jingyue was willing to enter the palace, Prime Minister Jiang's eyes lit up immediately.
"Whatever your conditions, as long as you are willing to enter the palace to serve the Emperor, I will agree to any conditions you set."
Jiang Jingyue came here with only one purpose: to take back everything that belonged to the original owner.
“Give me my mother’s dowry, I want to take it into the palace, and all the shops my mother brought with her, I want to take them all with me.”
Before Prime Minister Jiang could even say anything, Jiang Shuyue, who was standing next to him, suddenly couldn't stand up straight.
"Impossible, Jiang Jingyue, these things are all mine. You can't take them away. If you take them away, what will I use as my dowry when I marry Prince Cheng?"
As soon as Jiang Shuyue uttered those shameless words, she immediately covered her mouth, as if she had realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"Oh!"
Jiang Jingyue let out a cold laugh, her voice indifferent and chilling, her words sending a chill down one's spine.
"I don't know how someone can be so arrogant as to take other people's dowries for themselves. Father, what do you think?"
Prime Minister Jiang frowned, somewhat conflicted. The main reason was that his previous wife had given him so much, so much that he was reluctant to part with it.
“Jing’er, you know you have three older brothers. Of the things your mother left behind, some must be left for your brothers. It’s definitely not right for you to want them all.”
Jiang Jingyue felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of her brothers. She knew that this was an indelible pain in the original owner's heart.
"I don't have a brother, and I don't need one."
This remark was overheard by Jiang Minghan, the eldest son of the Jiang family, who was preparing to discuss matters with Prime Minister Jiang.
For a moment, he didn't know what was going on, but he felt very uncomfortable and even experienced a sharp pain in his heart.
However, when he thought of the things he had seen before, Jiang Minghan's heart hardened immediately.
He didn't want this younger sister anymore.
Seeing that there were people in the study, Jiang Minghan did not go in immediately, but stood at the door listening.
"So, do you agree or not? If you agree, I promise I'll enter the palace as soon as the time comes."
"Even if you don't agree, I'll still enter the palace. However, if something unexpected happens to me, I have no idea. For example, I might fall into the pond and drown, or hang from a rope on a beam in the palace for fun—I can't guarantee what might happen."
As soon as Jiang Jingyue uttered those words, Prime Minister Jiang's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with terror.
"Jing'er, don't be impulsive. You can't be impulsive about these things. Life is so precious! What will your father do if something happens to you?"
Prime Minister Jiang is now resorting to playing the family card, but while this might work on the original owner, it's completely useless against her.
"Don't say anything more. Just one question: do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I don't know what I might do."
The Daxing Dynasty had a rule that women who entered the palace, regardless of their rank, could not commit suicide at will.
If you do that, it will implicate your family, and you will be guilty of a heinous crime deserving of death. This is why many women in the palace who are unhappy with their fate cannot even end their lives.
"Jing'er, give your father some time so he can think it over, okay?"
Although she found Prime Minister Jiang's behavior laughable, Jiang Jingyue still nodded in the end.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you. I hope you won’t disappoint me. By the way, didn’t Granny Song go back to her hometown to retire last year? She left me some things she thought were useful, including the gift list that my mother brought when she entered the mansion.”
As soon as Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, Prime Minister Jiang slumped back into his chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.
However, he now understands that the Jiang Jingyue in front of him is no longer the Jiang Jingyue who could be scolded and reprimanded at will. She seems to have changed.
"Jing'er, don't worry! I promise you, all of your mother's dowry is yours. I'll have someone organize it tomorrow, and I guarantee that nothing will be missing."
Jiang Jingyue nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Jiang Minghan standing there.
Normally, the original owner would be extremely happy to see Jiang Minghan.
So every time the original owner saw Jiang Minghan, he would have to go over and greet her.
Although Jiang Minghan ignored her every time, for some reason, she couldn't help but want to greet them, even though no one paid any attention to her.
However, she would comfort herself each time, believing that her brothers were bewitched by that woman, Jiang Shuyue, which was why they treated her that way.
