Seeing that Jiang Jingyue had no intention of paying attention to her, the maid had no choice but to go back first, but she would have a hard time explaining herself when she returned.
"What did you say? That woman Jiang Jingyue doesn't want to come see me? Who gave her the guts! I came to see her as soon as I entered the palace, and she still doesn't give me face. Come on, let's go find her now. Is she at the palace banquet?"
After making her decision, Jiang Shuyue, accompanied by her maid, walked angrily toward the palace banquet, clearly intending to confront Jian.
Jiang Jingyue was still feasting at the palace banquet. She was pregnant with several babies, though she didn't know the exact number. She needed to eat a lot to feed them.
When Jiang Shuyue arrived with her people, the moment she saw Jiang Jingyue, a fire ignited in her eyes.
But with so many people around, she can't do anything for the sake of her reputation as a lady from a respectable family.
We can only wait until the palace banquet is over to discuss it further. The people at the banquet all brought a large number of gifts to congratulate Princess Changning.
I hope that when the eldest princess's children become the crown prince, they will be given more opportunities to promote them.
This palace banquet was incredibly boring for Jiang Jingyue. If it weren't for Princess Changning insisting that she come, she wouldn't have come at all.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Jiang Jingyue decided to leave first, as it would be more comfortable to return to her own palace.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Jingyue, Jiang Shuyue had been watching her closely. When she saw Jiang Jingyue get up to leave, she immediately got up and followed her.
Jiang Jingyue had just reached the palace gate when she was stopped by someone.
Seeing the person blocking her way, Jiang Jingyue raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman in front of her.
The two of them just kept watching, neither of them speaking first. Jiang Jingyue acted as if it was none of her business.
Jiang Shuyue hesitated for a while before looking at Jiang Jingyue and slowly asking.
"Sister, how are you doing in the palace? How is the Emperor treating you? We outside the palace are very worried about you."
Although the Emperor cannot give his elder sister a child of her own, the younger sister still hopes that her elder sister and the Emperor can be together happily.
Jiang Shuyue's favorite thing to do is to point out other people's sore spots and then embellish them appropriately, making it impossible for people to dislike her.
If she hadn't known what kind of person Jiang Shuyue was, she might have been deceived.
"Sister, why haven't you said anything? There's another matter I came to the palace this time. Father asked me to come and ask you about our family's shops. He wants you to hand them over to him to manage. Anyway, you're in the palace now and have no way to manage these shops. It will definitely be better if he manages them."
The matter-of-fact tone made people uncomfortable, but Jiang Jingyue didn't react. She just kept looking at Jiang Shuyue with a half-smile, which made Jiang Shuyue's face turn ugly.
"Jiang Jingyue, what do you mean? Do you agree to this matter or not? It's just that you're asked to hand over the shop to your father to manage."
Don't worry, what's yours will be yours, not a penny less. Besides, this way you'll have a lot less to worry about, won't you? Here, give me your token now, and I'll give it to Father when I get back.”
Jiang Shuyue arranged the matter perfectly in just a few words, without asking the parties involved for their opinions at all.
After saying that, he reached out to Jiang Jingyue for something, completely unaware of how cold Jiang Jingyue's expression was at that moment.
Jiang Shuyue finished speaking with anticipation and reached out her hand, waiting for Jiang Jingyue to hand her the things.
However, after waiting for a while, seeing that Jiang Jingyue still hadn't made any move, she couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"Sister, what do you mean? Do you disagree? Let me tell you, this is what the brothers want. Aren't you usually the one who listens to the brothers the most? They asked you to do it, and you still won't do it."
When Jiang Jingyue heard her say that, she glanced at her with disdain and slowly spoke.
“I remember saying before I entered the palace that I have no brother and do not need a brother.”
Perhaps she had already become indifferent. When Jiang Jingyue said these words, she didn't feel any heartache. Maybe the original owner had already let go!
Jiang Jingyue's words were hard for Jiang Shuyue to accept. Normally, no matter what it was, as long as it was something her brothers asked her to say, Jiang Jingyue would always be eager to speak.
But this time, Jiang Shuyue felt that something was different.
"Sister, aren't you worried that your brothers will feel bad if they hear you say that?"
What Jiang Shuyue didn't know was that Jiang Jingyue's words meant she had already given up and certainly didn't care whether they were upset or not.
"What do I care about their suffering? I will not agree to what you are saying."
Jiang Shuyue was somewhat shocked to see that Jiang Jingyue's expression meant she would not agree.
“Sister, why don’t you agree? Those shops can be better utilized if they are in Father’s hands. They are useless in your hands.”
Hearing her say that, Jiang Jingyue burst out laughing.
"Even if these shops are of no use to me, even if they go bankrupt under my watch, I will be happy."
These words infuriated Jiang Jingyue. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how.
"You...you...Jiang Jingyue, how could you become like this?" As soon as Jiang Shuyue uttered these words, Qiu Hua slapped her across the face, leaving Jiang Shuyue looking completely bewildered.
After Qiu finished painting the fan, Jiang Shuyue was still full of doubts. But after she realized what was going on, she immediately started making noise again.
“Jiang Jingyue, how could you let your servant hit me? If you do this, Prince Cheng will dislike you even more. Don’t you love Prince Cheng the most? He also thinks you should give up the shop so that he can help him achieve his great cause.”
"Slap!" Another slap landed. Jiang Shuyue gritted her teeth and suddenly dared not speak again, afraid that she would be hit again if she opened her mouth.
She glared fiercely at Jiang Jingyue, her eyes practically spitting fire, yet she couldn't do anything about it.
This is the imperial palace, not her Jiang residence. The imperial palace is not a place where she can do whatever she wants, because one wrong move could lead to her execution.
"Sister Jiang, are you really not going to reconsider? I can have Brother Chengwang come to see you then. As long as you agree to hand over the shop to us."
