Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Of course Jiang Xinxin couldn't hide the fact that she was promising Ye Xiwu from the Grand Princess, especially since the Grand Princess herself seemed to be immersed in the Ye family's great achievements in recent years and had lost her due caution. So Jiang Xinxin directly relayed to her what she had said to Ye Xiwu without changing a single word.

After hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but smash the cup and yelled "bastard". Jiang Xinxin had no choice but to lower her tactics, from kneeling straight to kneeling prone, and tried to appear more sincere when begging for mercy, so she didn't dare to look up.

However, the eldest princess has always known what kind of person Ye Xiwu is. Now she can't really do as the palace wishes and let Ye Xiwu make a fuss and harm the whole family. So she can only do her best to help Jiang Xinxin keep her mouth shut, and also help Jiang Xinxin put on a good show to truly appease Ye Xiwu.

Ye Xiwu's wedding date was too rushed, and then there was Ye Bingshang's wedding. In theory, both sisters married princes, but the one who was the principal wife married a prince of another country, a hostage abandoned by his motherland. The one who married a prince who had been crowned king in his own country was a concubine, so the wedding was very particular.

First of all, the eldest princess Ye Xiwu would definitely not want Ye Bingshang to overshadow her, otherwise she would cause trouble and it would be difficult for everyone.

But Ye Bingshang married into the royal family after all, and if the ceremony was not grand enough, it would be seen as disrespectful to the royal family.

Fortunately, the palace had emphasized Ye Xiwu's wedding date, which could be used to make an article, but Ye Xiwu had to have all the proper ceremony, so Jiang Xinxin quickly prepared Ye Xiwu's dowry. On the day of the dowry, all the girls and young ladies present were jealous of Ye Xiwu, which made Ye Xiwu the center of attention, and even reduced her possessiveness over Xiao Lin a lot.

At this point, even the Grand Princess saw clearly that Ye Xiwu's obsession with Prince Xuancheng Xiao Lin was mostly due to the fight between her and Ye Bingshang.

Ye Bingshang really felt that even if she married the person she loved, her future days would not be more relaxed and comfortable than Ye Xiwu's. The fact that Ye Xiwu actually married a son-in-law and could still live in her own home after marriage was far beyond her reach.

Moreover, after seeing Ye Xiwu's dowry, she also understood that even for the sake of the royal family's face, her dowry could not surpass Ye Xiwu's, because everyone knew that at least half of Ye Xiwu's dowry came from her deceased mother, and the remaining half came from the share of the legitimate daughter of a prince and the dowry added by the two elders.

When it comes to her, Gongzhong will definitely give her a dowry similar to Ye Xiwu's for the sake of King Xuancheng and the royal family, but the rest is not something she can imagine.

In order to make Ye Xiwu behave herself for a few more days, Jiang Xinxin decisively told Ye Xiwu all of Ye Bingshang's private complaints and self-pity. Ye Xiwu felt very relieved after hearing it, and was even enthusiastically offering some suggestions for her wedding dress.

Of course, after choosing his daily clothes again, Ye Xiwu couldn't help but go to Ye Bingshang's yard to show off.

Although Ye Xiwu hated Ye Bingshang, as long as Ye Bingshang herself did not appear in front of her, or when others did not mention Ye Bingshang, she would hardly take the initiative to cause trouble for Ye Bingshang. Therefore, this was her first time coming to Ye Bingshang's yard.

As she walked along, she looked around the simple courtyard, her joy growing stronger. When she saw Ye Bingshang and the timid little maid behind her, she laughed out loud, "I thought the goddess Guanyin in the legend was like this, but the place she lives in is even worse than the maid in my room!"

"Ye Bingshang, you are like this now. How do you have the courage to fight me on weekdays?"

Ye Xiwu tilted her head out of genuine curiosity, and Ye Bingshang, of course, felt as if she had suffered a great humiliation. The identity of Prince Xuancheng's concubine gave her a lot of confidence. At this moment, she did not dodge and faced Ye Xiwu's contemptuous eyes and said, "It doesn't matter where I live now. I will definitely not be wronged in Prince Xuancheng's mansion in the future."

Hearing that Ye Bingshang was actually using the King of Xuancheng to put pressure on herself, Ye Xiwu was really furious. She casually pulled the whip at her waist and swung it towards Ye Bingshang in the face. Ye Bingshang couldn't dodge in time and was about to be disfigured. Jiang Xinxin stepped forward and pulled Ye Xiwu's arm to the side. Although the tail of the whip still hit Ye Bingshang's shoulder because of lack of power, the pain made her cover her shoulder and almost lose her balance, but it was better than being hit on the face and disfigured.

Besides, Jiang Xinxin had calculated that she could certainly use more force to pull Ye Xiwu away, but doing so would inevitably hurt Ye Xiwu's arm. She was the person in charge of Ye Xiwu's dowry, and there was no reason for her to hurt Ye Xiwu for an outsider like Ye Bingshang.

Seeing that he had only hit Ye Bingshang's shoulder, Ye Xiwu immediately turned around and asked with a bit of grievance and resentment: "Xiao Jiang, what are you doing?! Didn't you hear what that woman said!"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless, but still explained to Ye Xiwu: "I have told you the truth many times. You and the eldest lady are of the same generation. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. There is no reason to teach her a lesson. Why don't we go back and tell the old lady? She was a princess before she got married, and a general's wife after she got married. Now she is the eldest princess and the old lady. She must be better at rules than us and understands more than us."

Ye Xiwu looks like a born evil person, and she is indeed cruel and ruthless at a young age, but her greatest strength is that she can easily tell whether others are sincere towards her, so among the people around her, she is only willing to listen to the words of her grandmother, the Grand Princess, and Jiang Xinxin.

Just like at this moment, Jiang Xinxin suggested that she hand Ye Bingshang over to the Grand Princess for disposal. Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, she still followed Jiang Xinxin's advice.

Ye Xiwu was the first to walk out of Ye Bingshang's yard. When Jiang Xinxin followed him out, she told the two maids guarding outside, "Go get a doctor for the young lady. The young lady just boasted about her status as the concubine of King Xuancheng to you, which angered you and you got a whip on your shoulder."

The servants in the mansion can tell who is the big prince and who is the small prince most clearly, so even though Ye Bingshang is already the concubine of Prince Xuancheng as stated in the imperial decree, the mansion still treats her as the one bullied by Ye Xiwu. If Jiang Xinxin doesn't give her some instructions today, she would probably have to secretly ask Prince Xuancheng Xiao Lin to help her find a doctor.

Ye Xiwu, who was at the front, heard that Jiang Xinxin asked others to find a doctor for Ye Bingshang just to sulk. Jiang Xinxin certainly couldn't let Ye Xiwu have the opportunity to vent her anger on herself, so she quickly explained: "As I said, the eldest lady is now the concubine of King Xuancheng. If it weren't for the wedding, we should have changed our words by now. Therefore, the injury today must be dealt with quickly."

Ye Xiwu was still unhappy. She really wished Ye Bingshang would die. How could she feel sorry for Ye Bingshang being injured? She only hated herself for not killing her and hated others for stopping her.

Jiang Xinxin continued, "But think about it from another angle. Ye Bingshang's life is just like that. So what if she is already the concubine of Prince Xuancheng? Prince Xuancheng likes her because there are rumors that she suffered a lot of injustice in the general's mansion, and Prince Xuancheng feels sorry for her. So when Prince Xuancheng knows that her life in the general's mansion is actually much better than many other women, he will probably not be so obsessed with her."

Ye Xiwu's brain, which had always been straightforward, finally learned to think in a roundabout way. She couldn't believe what she heard. "So, Xiao Jiang, what you mean is that if I bully her once, she can take this opportunity to play the victim and act weak in front of the Sixth Prince to gain sympathy and love?!"

Ye Xiwu was so furious whenever she thought about how Ye Bingshang not only stepped on her to become famous, but also hooked up with the man she loved, Prince Xuancheng.

Jiang Xinxin directly stopped Ye Xiwu from going back to slap Ye Bingshang again, and pushed her hard into the courtyard of the Grand Princess: "Miss, the way you have been doing things has always been a stepping stone for the eldest lady, so let's ask the old lady first, and don't let the eldest lady take advantage of you again!"

Ye Xiwu took this to heart and did not insist on going back to beat Ye Bingshang up.
