Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

For Jiang Xinxin, there was no significant change in her married life except that there was one more person to feed at home, she had more time for daily practice, and she could express her thoughts freely.

After seeing that Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying got along very well, Mother Chen finally put her mind at ease.

She was not one of those elders who waited for her children to get married and were looking forward to having children. Besides, Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying were already cultivators and could not be judged from the perspective of mortals. So she only took Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying back to Jiangjia Village to visit the graves, and took over the family business established by Jiang Xinxin on a daily basis.

Jiang Xianxian, who had been forgotten by Jiang Xinxin and who couldn't even attend Jiang Xinxin's wedding, knocked on the door of Jiang's house in the dim morning light.

The Jiang residence is a house that is slightly larger than an ordinary two-courtyard house and does not occupy a large area. It was separated from a large house together with three other courtyards around it. And because there are not many people in the family, there are not many servants. There are only two doormen, two elderly women and four young maids.

In the past, no one would have expected that a guest would come so early, and the doorman was a little afraid to open the door easily. He waited for someone to knock on the door about ten times before he dared to open it a crack.

When the doorman saw that the visitor was a disheveled young woman, he was startled and thought that it was the son-in-law who brought trouble upon the family. He tried to close the door quickly, but the person on the ground blocked the door with her arm.

The concierge smiled bitterly: "Madam, who are you? Why don't you tell me where you are so that I, an old man, can pass on a message for you."

Jiang Xianxian ran all the way before she finally found the Jiang residence. She even got the address from Ye Lingyu. She quickly replied, "My name is Jiang Xianxian. The owner of the house, Jiang Xinxin, is my sister. Go tell her that Jiang Xianxian is here to see her. She will definitely come to see me!"

Someone was knocking on the door anxiously early in the morning. Even if Mother Chen at the back couldn't hear it, Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying were both cultivators, so they naturally had sharp ears and eyes. However, after hearing the movements of the hand practice, the couple prepared to go back to pack up and welcome the guests, so they didn't continue to listen to what happened in front.

It was not until the maid in the yard came over to tell her that the visitor was Jiang Xianxian. It was also her fault that she heard that Ye Lingyu had personally come to deliver gifts on the wedding day, but she did not think of asking about Jiang Xianxian's situation.

After a while, Jiang Xianxian was led in with a miserable appearance. Jiang Xinxin looked closely and couldn't believe that this skinny person who looked like a disaster victim outside the city was actually the concubine of the eldest son of the general's mansion who was living a life of luxury!

Jiang Xinxin asked with concern: "How did you become like this?"

When Jiang Xianxian saw Jiang Xinxin's unconcealed extraordinary appearance, her husband who served her attentively and was very close to her, and her clothes which were no worse than hers when she was favored, she immediately had evil thoughts in her heart.

But at least she still remembered that she was here to ask for help, and she looked really miserable, so she gritted her teeth and suppressed all her thoughts, tears streaming down her face: "Sister! The Jiang family is now in complete ruin!"

Jiang Xinxin had no feelings for the Jiang family, and just pretended to sigh: "I knew that my grandparents and uncle always used the name of the general's mansion to cause trouble outside, and there would always be a day when they would be exposed, but I didn't expect that they would implicate you in the end."

Jiang Xianxian also hated it. The Jiang family became rich by relying on her, but the other members of the Jiang family were all obsessed with wealth and were profit-driven. No one cared about how she lived in Ye Lingyu's house. They were only concerned about the things she took back from the general's mansion so that they could show off outside and make profits for her two brothers!

Thinking back to when she wanted to drag Jiang Xinxin into the water, Jiang Xianxian now hated herself for not being alert enough, and also hated herself for not having enough means to control Jiang Xinxin.

She forced herself not to show any hatred or resentment towards Jiang Xinxin, but knelt down at her feet and begged, "Sister, we are sisters. Today is the last time you help me. I am just a concubine and have no chance to go to the border with the eldest master..."

Jiang Xinxin frowned and slightly turned sideways, not caring whether Jiang Xianxian was kneeling or sitting. "You always like to fool people. Even if you and I are sisters in name, how can I ask the eldest son of the general's mansion for someone?"

"Besides, judging from your appearance today, you obviously did something extraordinary in the General's Mansion. You are being vague in your words. Do you think that the meager friendship between you and me is enough for me to stand up for you without reason?"

Ye Lingyu has not yet married. Even though he has become a lot colder towards Jiang Xianxian, Jiang Xianxian is still the only woman in his room. She still maintains a certain control over Ye Lingyu's private treasury. Although Jiang Xinxin is not very clear about this, looking at Ye Lingyu's past style and character, she also knows that Jiang Xianxian must have done something wrong first, which is why Ye Lingyu dislikes her.

Jiang Xianxian didn't dare to say what happened to her in the general's mansion. Seeing that Jiang Xinxin had no intention of softening, she turned to Shi Ying beside her, pulled Shi Ying's clothes and made a pitiful gesture, even the way she shed tears changed a lot.

Jiang Xianxian cried and complained, "Brother-in-law, although I didn't have the chance to come and congratulate you and my sister that day, it was because I was just the concubine of the eldest son of the general's mansion, and it didn't make sense for me to go out to visit guests. It's not that I don't miss my sister."

"Besides, I want to stay in the capital, not for my own sake. The only one left in the Jiang family is my brother's nephew. If I leave again, how will he, a child of three or five years old, survive?"

Jiang Xinxin didn't know how to tell fortunes yet, but Shi Ying had already done some calculations for the Jiang family and found out that the old man and the old lady were still in the coffin and had not been buried yet; Jiang Xianxian's parents took the family's property and wanted to go out to avoid disaster, but they were beaten to death and robbed by people who had been lying in ambush just after they left the city gate; as for Jiang Xianxian's two brothers, one made up an excuse to ask Jiang Xianxian for money and fled the capital, and the other was beaten to death by Jiang Xianxian with a stick.

So it’s not a lie when Jiang Xianxian says that the Jiang family only has grandchildren who are three or five years old.

As for Jiang Xianxian's miserable appearance today, it was because she was tricked by her eldest brother and was taken back to pay off a debt. She tricked her sister-in-law into getting her out of the woodshed, but she met her eldest brother on the way. She picked up a stick-like thing at hand and knocked the man to the ground. Seeing that there was no other way at home, her sister-in-law had already left quietly with the child.

Shi Ying didn't say anything else, just asked: "I don't believe that other people in the Jiang family have never mentioned Xinxin, but if no one has thought of Xinxin, how did you think of looking for Xinxin?"

Speaking of Jiang Xinxin, it seemed as if the other people in the Jiang family had forgotten about her. Jiang Xianxian herself was puzzled. She had clearly mentioned to her family more than once that Jiang Xinxin was doing well and had some face in front of the old lady in the general's mansion. But at that time, she could hear them discussing how to get money from Jiang Xinxin, but when she looked back, she never saw them take any action.

At that time, she just kept this doubt in her heart. Now that Shi Ying asked her specifically, she realized that something must have happened.

Jiang Xianxian looked at Jiang Xinxin with a little fear, and Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes at her. "It seems that you have gotten into trouble with something serious. You are still trying to hide it now. Don't you want to die?!"
