Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

After Dong Lingyan left, Jiang Qingyue relaxed and lay down on the chair behind him.

He stretched out his hand, picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. His eyes were clear and there was no trace of sadness on his face.

Lu Huan came over to add more tea, and looked in the direction where Dong Lingyan left:

"Is Miss all right?"

Jiang Qingyue waved her hand, "I'm fine, you go down and prepare the clothes for the banquet at Prince Chen's Mansion."

"Yes, ma'am."

The next day, Dong Lingyan sent many gifts, which were moved one by one to Jiang Qingyue's yard.

When Jiang Qingyue got up, she saw the large boxes piled up at the door. After hearing Lu Huan say that they were sent from the General's Mansion, she took a quick look and said,

"I'll take it if it's sent to me."

If it were in the past, she would definitely not accept it, as she didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

But now, favors are something you only have if you owe them, otherwise they will disappear.

She felt at ease accepting the things sent to her by the General's Mansion.

Being thicker-skinned can help you live a more carefree and carefree life.

In a blink of an eye, the flower-viewing banquet arrived.

On this day, Jiang Qingyue got up early, packed up, and got on a carriage to Prince Chen's Mansion.

In her previous life, Prince Chen’s Mansion had also held banquets, but she had never received an invitation.

Now, she got off the carriage, and the maids and servants at the door all knelt on the ground, chanting respectfully: Princess.

Then, the lady from which branch of Prince Chen's mansion came up with two young ladies:

"This is the princess, come in quickly."

The lady had a polite smile on her face and warmly invited Jiang Qingyue in.

Along the way, he introduced the scenery of Prince Chen's Mansion to Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue seemed to be uninterested, but she did not show it on her face and walked into the garden.

The flower-viewing banquet was held in the garden of Prince Chen's mansion.

The garden of Prince Cheng's mansion is very large. As soon as you enter the archway with hanging flowers, you will see flowers of all colors blooming before your eyes.

Jiang Qingyue sat down at a table in the corridor, and the maid brought tea and snacks.

After watching the lady and the young lady leave, Lu Huan spoke quietly: "Young lady, the flowers here are really beautiful."

Jiang Qingyue nodded.

This Prince Chen was the youngest son of the late emperor. However, he had an illness from birth and had to be raised. Later, he married a princess, but died after giving birth to a child.

The emperor had only this one brother, and he took good care of the widow of Prince Chen's mansion. Therefore, although Prince Chen was no longer around, the status of Prince Chen's mansion had always been there.

The old princess raised the child, and in order to have an heir for the Chen Palace, in addition to her principal wife and concubines, she also took in many concubines for her son.

The more women there are in the back house, the more trouble there will be.

As long as the offspring were not harmed, the old princess didn't care. This led to the Chen Wang Mansion having many offspring, but also many troubles.

She often heard in the inner courtyard that a son from one branch had abducted a woman, or a grandson from another branch had a fight with someone and broke someone's leg.

Such things happen one after another.

In her previous life, the daughter of her second uncle Lin Que was favored by the legitimate son of the sixth branch of the Chen Palace. The poor little girl, who had not yet reached the age of marriage, was abused to death in the corner tower of the Chen Palace.

She didn't have a good impression of Chen Wangfu.

The Chen Wang Mansion has many descendants, but none of them has a promising future. If it were not for the emperor's protection, they would have been ruined long ago. Now, it is just said to make their reputation sound better.

This banquet was held at Prince Chen's Mansion, and Nie Qianjin intended to please the emperor.

The men in Prince Chen's mansion were useless, so by doing this she gave respect to the female members of the family, and the emperor was also happy.

It seemed that Nie Qianjin was still panicked and scared.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so deliberate in organizing this flower-viewing banquet and even set the venue at Prince Chen's Mansion.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue sat down, some young ladies and ladies came over to greet her from time to time.

Jiang Qingyue responded calmly, neither too enthusiastic nor too rude, which won the favor of many young ladies and ladies.

When Cao arrived, she happened to see the wife of the Minister of Rites chatting and laughing with Jiang Qingyue, and her expression changed immediately.

Jiang Qingyue had just been divorced and kicked out of the Jiang family. Logically, she should be avoided by everyone.

But now she has been conferred the title of princess and has received rewards from the emperor, making her the most popular person.

It makes the Jiang family seem unkind.

You shouldn't be so eager to distance yourself from your daughter as soon as she gets into trouble.

If Jiang Qingyue is really guilty, then that's fine.

But Jiang Qingyue was wronged, and the Jiang family is now in an awkward situation.

Cao stood there for a while, and when she noticed the gazes from all around her, she gritted her teeth and walked towards Jiang Qingyue.

Originally, she didn't want to come to the flower-viewing banquet, but Jiang Peilan didn't come. If she didn't come, it would arouse speculation and cause trouble.

Thinking of Jiang Peilan, a hint of pain flashed in Cao's eyes.

On the opposite side, the wife of the Minister of Rites saw Cao coming, said a few words and left.

Lu Huan reminded in a low voice: "Miss, Madam Jiang is here."

As Lu Huan spoke, she looked at Cao with caution, fearing that she would do something harmful to her young lady.

When Cao saw Luhuan's expression and thought of the confrontation with Jiang Qingyue that day, she was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief.

A maid, what does this mean?

Is he still afraid that she might do something to Jiang Qingyue in front of everyone in Prince Chen's mansion?

Even if she wanted to do something, she wouldn't do it in front of everyone in the mansion. Who knows what others will think of this maid acting like this?

Cao was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had no choice but to endure it.

When he walked in front of Jiang Qingyue and saw that Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything, he became even angrier.

"I'm already here, won't Qingyue invite me to sit down?"

"I'm not the owner. Madam Jiang can sit wherever she likes."

"you."

Cao looked around and found that many people were looking at him, so they all turned around at the same time.

"Qingyue and I are so unfamiliar with each other, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you?"

Jiang Qingyue: "That's just to make fun of the Jiang family. What does it have to do with me?"

"Don't forget that your last name is Jiang too."

"Your last name is not Jiang, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"You..." Cao was angry.

"I am the mistress of the Jiang family, your mother. How can you say such a thing?"

"The Jiang family can do such a thing, so of course I can say such a thing. You are allowed to do it, but I am not allowed to say it. How can such a thing be justified in this world? If Madam Jiang is not convinced, why not let everyone judge it while everyone is here today."

Cao only felt an evil energy rushing straight to the top of her head, and a white light fell down, and she almost fainted.

"Do you really want to make a fool of yourself?"

"Mrs. Jiang was wrong. I didn't mean to make a fool of myself. It was clearly Mrs. Jiang who was looking for trouble. She couldn't win the argument but wanted to blame me. I won't take the blame and I won't admit this crime."

Cao was so angry that she was fuming and her chest was heaving violently.

She had already seen that Jiang Qingyue had been like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins since she left the Jiang residence, not taking her seriously at all. She had not had any good results the few times she had confronted Jiang Qingyue.

Cao finally realized that her identity as the mistress of the Jiang family was of no use at all in front of Jiang Qingyue.

She suppressed her emotions and sat down on the stool beside Jiang Qingyue's table.

It’s not that she wanted to sit with Jiang Qingyue, it’s just that she didn’t want to give people any other topics to talk about.

If she were to sit alone, someone would definitely come and ask about her relationship with Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue was expelled from the family tree. The Jiang family was wrong in this matter. She was sitting with Jiang Qingyue at this time, which was considered to shut up those who wanted to ask questions.

Another point is that Jiang Peilan, as the prime minister's wife, did not appear in such an occasion, and someone would definitely ask about this.

Although she had already thought of what to say, she tried not to say it if possible and not to mention any of it.

Jiang Qingyue saw her sit down, glanced at her and said nothing.

Seeing her indifferent look, Cao felt extremely aggrieved when she thought of how she used to be humble and submissive, working for her to make a living.

A bastard born of a lowly mother, once he gained power, he wanted to put on airs in front of her. She wished she could tear her apart.

Cao was holding her breath and had no intention of greeting Jiang Qingyue again, but Jiang Qingyue spoke.

"Why didn't Miss Jiang come today?"

When Cao heard this, her heart suddenly jumped up and she looked at Jiang Qingyue with wide eyes.

When I realized where I was, I collected my thoughts in an instant.

He glanced around several times and lowered his voice and said:

"I'm warning you, don't make trouble for no reason. You clearly know that Lan'er can't come, but you still ask like this. What's your intention? Do you have to see the Jiang family embarrassed to be happy?"

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue looked at her and answered directly.

She naturally had no mood to greet Cao, but now was a good opportunity to let her mother's death see the light of day again...

Moreover, it would be a good opportunity to use her to find some work for Prince Chen's Mansion.

Cao's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Qingyue, as if she couldn't believe that such words would come out of Jiang Qingyue's mouth. She was angry and a little surprised.

It would have been fine if he just had such thoughts, but he actually said it out loud, admitting that he just wanted to make fun of the Jiang family and embarrass them. She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She has been managing the harem for many years and has seen a lot of twists and turns, but Jiang Qingyue is the first to receive such a straightforward provocation.

Whether in the mansion or outside, everyone was concerned about speaking politely, with sarcastic remarks and hidden ulterior motives. But no one had ever been like Jiang Qingyue, with disgust and revenge written all over her face.

She thought about it for a while and finally took a breath.

Because she found that no matter how hard she tried, none of her tricks worked against Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue really had no attachment to the Jiang family, and didn't care what happened to the Jiang family.

Jiang Qingyue smiled when she saw that she was speechless.

"Is it possible that Miss Jiang will never come back?

"Is she still nostalgic for the gentle land of the groom, or has she been abandoned by him? She has no money and no experience of living outside. Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Jiang is used to being a lady who has everything provided for her, and she is also used to being the high and mighty wife of the prime minister. In a place like that..."

Jiang Qingyue stopped talking abruptly and took a sip of tea leisurely, as if she was telling a story from a comic book, nonchalant and gloating over someone else's misfortune.

Cao held the handkerchief tightly in both hands and her expression changed.

Jiang Qingyue kept calling "groom" left and right, which made her blood boil.

And the subsequent speculations made her feel nervous.

She claimed that she was used to storms, but Jiang Qingyue's words still made her feel nervous.

Yes, Jiang Peilan had never suffered before, and being with a groom... who knew what kind of things she would encounter.

She was beautiful and had some money. If the other party had a bad heart, Jiang Peilan would not have a good ending. If the other party had a kind heart, how could he protect Jiang Peilan?

The more Cao thought about it, the more flustered she became.

These days, she has been trying to find out Jiang Peilan's whereabouts, but to no avail.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about these situations, but she doesn’t dare to think about them too deeply.

Because I was afraid of thinking about some results that she couldn't accept.

But now, Jiang Qingyue laid the truth nakedly in front of her, and she had no choice but to think about it. How could she sit still?

But now, she couldn't leave. She was tormented and a raging fire rose in her heart.

Looking at Jiang Qingyue, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far."

Jiang Qingyue laughed again: "Am I going too far?

“Compared to what Madam Jiang did to my mother and to me, it’s really nothing.

"I just said a few words, but the harm that Madam Jiang inflicted on my mother and me was real. Now I have only paid back a little bit, so why can't Madam Jiang bear it?

"There are still two or three minutes to go. It's just that we are going to suffer ten or a hundred times what we have suffered. Madam Jiang, you must be prepared."

"You..." Faced with Jiang Qingyue's naked provocation, Cao was almost furious.

But she had no way to deal with Jiang Qingyue.

"If Madam Jiang doesn't want to listen, she can just leave. I think the other ladies over there should be happy to have Madam Jiang join us.

"Mrs. Jiang is usually very close to them. As good sisters, she will definitely care about Miss Jiang.

"I didn't stop her, why did Madam Jiang insist on sitting here when she was obviously unhappy here?

"Mrs. Jiang asked for trouble, but she still blames me. It's really unreasonable."

Cao glanced across the street and saw that besides the ladies she was on good terms with, there were also ladies she usually didn't get along with.

If she went over there, she would definitely cause trouble.

Jiang Qingyue was just trying to make her angry.

Cao pursed her lips tightly, her face flushed with anger.

She had never been so embarrassed before, but at this moment she felt extremely aggrieved, but she had to endure it.

She was humiliated by an ant whom she once looked down upon and trampled underfoot, but there was nothing she could do.

"Jiang Qingyue, please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future. Things may get tough over time, and you may be in trouble someday."

"Hehe." Jiang Qingyue chuckled, then picked up a piece of snack and ate it.

He seemed to be talking about something particularly interesting and was looking at Cao with a smile.

"I never think about the future. I just want to take revenge and complain, and I want to feel better now.

"As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later, but right now, I'm going to crush you to death and grind you into bloody dregs. What do you think?"

Cao's face was pale. Looking at Jiang Qingyue's desperate and crazy expression, she felt fear in her heart.

She seemed to have always misjudged Jiang Qingyue. People like her were just crazy.

She didn't want the Jiang family to have an easy life, and she didn't want herself and Jiang Peilan to have an easy life.

At this moment, a huge feeling of regret surged in Cao's heart.

If she had known that Jiang Qingyue was a nuisance, she should not have let Jiang Qingyue leave the Jiang Mansion alive.
