Why did she have such a sister? If Jiang Xueli was not her biological sister, she would have sent Jiang Xueli to see the King of Hell long ago.
Jiang Xueli was not proficient in reading, discussing philosophy, arranging flowers, burning incense, or doing embroidery, as well as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She is stupid, with only scheming but no brains, and she can't plan. She has planned for Jiang Xueli many times, but she ruined them all by herself, and even made her suffer.
Jiang Xuewei found a place to sit down and watched quietly as Jiang Xueli smashed things in the house. The servants knelt in a row and let Jiang Xueli beat and scold them, as if it had become a common thing.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Xueli finally stopped beating and scolding them, "Get out of here!"
Jiang Xuewei stood up at the right moment and instructed her personal maid, "Zelan, go get a doctor to take a look at their injuries. Then, take the best ointment we have in our room and apply it to them. Don't leave any scars that people will see and spread gossip."
"Also... give them some silver so they can shut up."
Ze Lan also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay. "Yes, I will go right away, don't worry, young lady."
Jiang Xueli has no brains and no emotional intelligence. She even beat up her personal maid and didn't even say a word of comfort after the beating.
She was not worried about the servants feeling resentful, nor was she worried that doing so would damage her reputation, as if she had predicted that Jiang Xuewei would take care of it for her.
Jiang Xuewei sighed, "Li'er, don't do this again in the future. You still have your sister to take care of things for you now, but if you continue to act like this after you get married, will the maidservants around you be loyal to you over time? You should understand if you think about it carefully."
"If they ever betray you, the worst that could happen would be tarnishing your reputation. But what if they team up with outsiders to frame you? What if they even climb into your husband's bed? If that happens, do you still think the beating and scolding you just received was worth it?"
After Jiang Xueli vented her anger, she felt that she had done something wrong after hearing Jiang Xuewei's explanation. "I'm sorry, sister, for making you work so hard for me. What happened today was indeed my fault. I was mad at that bitch, so I did this."
Jiang Xuewei sighed: "How could I not know you? Well, let's stop here for today. Don't do this again next time.
If such a scandal were to get out, not only His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, but even other men might not be willing to marry such a girl. For the sake of your own reputation, you must control your temper in the future."
"For men, a wife who is harmonious with her husband and has a quiet backyard, who can take care of the family and manage the house well, is what they want in a wife."
Jiang Xueli: "I've learned a lot from you, thank you, sister."

That day, Su Qian was learning embroidery in the yard as usual. She felt her shoulders and neck were a little stiff, so she raised her head to move her neck. Unfortunately, she saw a maid doing something sneaky in her yard.
Although her movements were a little strange, she seemed to be just trying to prevent others from seeing her. When she saw Su Qian looking at her, she seemed to be relieved, then released a white dove in her hand, letting it fly into the sky.
Su Qian called Cuiwei and asked her, "Cuiwei, who is that woman?"
Cuiwei took a closer look and said, "It seems to be a new messenger?"
"messenger?"
"Why in our yard?"
Cuiwei: "This person seems to be... seems to be sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Because His Royal Highness often misses the young lady when he is away, and the young lady never sends anyone to pass on messages to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, so His Royal Highness sent this person here.
It is said that if the young lady is free, or in any danger, she can use the white dove to send a message to His Highness, and His Highness will come quickly."
Su Qian felt a little puzzled: "Sent by Yan Xuanye? I haven't heard Lu Feng mention it."
White pigeons are one-way messages with fixed routes. They can only be delivered to the same place each time, but Yan Xuanye sometimes goes out on business and goes to different places.
If he wanted her to pass on a message or a letter to him, it would be better for Lu Feng to send someone on horseback. Why use a pigeon?
Although carrier pigeons are the fastest of all messaging methods, they are generally used for long-distance communications.
But Yan Xuanye was in Zhiyi City, so why did he need to use pigeons to deliver messages?
The more Su Qian thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Also, the messenger was wary of others just now. He didn't look like someone sent by Yan Xuanye at all. It seemed like he was afraid of being discovered by others.
Could it be Lu Huan? Could it be that he wanted to remind her that this messenger was sent by him, and if she wanted to communicate with him, she could go through this person?
Cuiwei saw Su Qian frowning and looking thoughtful, and she also became suspicious. "What's wrong, young lady? This person is not right. How about I ask Sister Lu Feng to ask him?"
Su Qian quickly stopped her, "No, come back."
"I just thought I'd never seen this person before, so I just asked."
As if to confirm her inner guess, Su Qian said to Cuiwei, "Cuiwei, didn't you say last time that you wanted to try the milk tea I always talk about?"
Cuiwei immediately revealed a bright smile, "Yes, yes."
She wrote on a piece of paper and said, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare the ingredients on this paper. I'll be making it later."
Cuiwei is still young and has never eaten any good food in the prefectural government before. Now that she is with her, her taste buds have become more and more picky. Every time she hears that Su Qian is going to cook, she looks like a hungry ghost.
"I'll do it right away." She bowed hurriedly and ran towards the kitchen.
As soon as Su Qian saw her leave, he immediately looked in the direction of the messenger. Seeing her looking at him, Su Qian picked up the pen and pretended to write.
Sure enough, when the messenger saw that she wanted to write, he walked towards her.
She bowed first, then stood where Cuiwei had been and asked her, "Goddess, are you going to write a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"
Su Qian picked up the pen and wrote a few words, then felt dissatisfied and crumpled the pen into a ball before throwing it away. "I wanted to write, but I didn't know what to write."
Messenger: "Your Highness will like whatever the goddess writes."
The two of them pretended to exchange glances about writing a letter to Yan Xuanye. The female guards around them glanced at them for a few seconds, then turned their heads away with relief.
These female guards were brought in by Lu Feng. I heard that they were carefully selected by Yan Xuanye to protect her safety, and now they have become human "cameras" to monitor her.
To be honest, it's quite stressful to commit a crime against the law.
Fortunately, everyone thought that the messenger was sent in by Yan Xuanye, and the two people had been discussing what to write to Yan Xuanye, so no one else was suspicious.
Just when everyone had let down their guard, the messenger suddenly slipped a small note into her palm. Su Qian took it and tucked it into her embroidered robe...
