Jiang Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, the tension in her heart easing a little.
In the end, she was able to stay.
Her plan was worthwhile.
Twenty strokes of the cane it is, better than going back to that poor, remote mountain village and continuing to live a life of poverty with nothing but bran and wild vegetables.
The twenty strokes of the cane were just a formality; her mother would later instruct the men to administer the caning to be lenient.
Jiang Wan'er had a very beautiful dream.
A moment later, two men with stern faces and exuding a murderous aura stepped forward. "Miss, please."
Upon seeing the two of them, Jiang Wan'er knew that something terrible was about to happen.
These two men didn't look like servants at all. Their demeanor was somewhat like that of a seasoned veteran like Su Mu.
It's more like...
"Hahaha, Jiang Wan'er, you're dead this time." The eldest daughter of the Su family covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes full of schadenfreude.
"You don't know yet, do you? Tiezhu and Tongzhu are Father's right-hand men, who have fought alongside him on the battlefield for a long time. Ha, to have them beat you with a rod, it seems that your status in Father's heart is nothing more than that."
"Hehehe, serves her right. Who told her to try to ruin our family's reputation as soon as she returned to the manor, and make it so that none of our sisters can find good husbands."
"Hmph, I think she's just looking to vent her anger. She resents that all the sisters in our household enjoy wealth and luxury while she suffers in the village. If you cause trouble again, see if we'll let you off the hook!"
"Bah! No wonder you're such a lowly country bumpkin, causing all this trouble that's ruining the whole family. Jiang Wan'er, let me tell you, even if you return to the manor and acknowledge your ancestors, you'll still be a lowly, illiterate, and uncouth country bumpkin. From now on, you'd better keep your head down and avoid bringing shame to our General's Mansion!"
Hearing these sarcastic and insulting words, Jiang Wan'er turned pale with anger and trembled all over.
She looked pleadingly at the shivering Hu Shi, biting her lip, and cried out in a wronged voice, "Mother, they..."
Madam Hu couldn't care less about anything else. She was cold and exhausted and wanted to go back to her room to bathe and rest as soon as possible. Besides, today's trouble was caused by Jiang Wan'er. Jiang Wan'er had made her lose face in front of all the ladies and had also displeased her husband.
It was just a few words; it wouldn't kill Jiang Wan'er.
Madam Hu looked at Jiang Wan'er wearily and said weakly, "Wan'er, this is your father's decision, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm cold and tired, so I'll go back to bathe and rest first. I'll send a maid to bring you some of the best wound medicine later."
After saying this, Madam Hu left with the help of her maid.
"Pfft, it seems you're disliked by your mother too."
"Hehehe, it seems your mother doesn't want to help you either. You'd better pray for yourself."
"Let's go, sisters. Why waste so much breath talking to a country girl?
"Hehehe, yes, yes, big sister is right."
After the young ladies finished teasing Jiang Wan'er, they left with elegant steps.
Jiang Wan'er clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails digging deep into her flesh. Watching the five people leave, her eyes seemed to be filled with deadly poison, ready to kill.
She will remember this humiliation!
Once she has established herself in the General's Mansion, she will definitely seek revenge a thousandfold!
None of them will escape!
