After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day
Chapter 10 Establishing Prestige
When Jiang Wanyue stepped into the study, Jiang Cheng was standing with his back to her, wondering what he was thinking.
Jiang Wanyue bowed to Jiang Cheng: "Father."
"You're here." Jiang Cheng then turned around and looked at Jiang Wanyue, his eyes dark and unclear, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Jiang Wanyue didn't understand, so she asked, "Father wants to see his daughter, but what's the matter?"
"You... have you visited your elder brother?" Jiang Cheng hesitated for a long time before asking carefully.
Jiang Wanyue was stunned. She had just come from Jiang Ye's place and Jiang Cheng already knew about it? It shouldn't be so fast, but she thought about it and thought that Jiang Cheng knew about what happened the day before.
But, isn't this a good thing? Jiang Cheng's reaction seemed a little weird and... unbelievable.
"Father, he is my biological brother. As his sister, it is my duty to visit him." Jiang Wanyue lowered her eyes to hide the doubts in her eyes.
"That's good. Seeing that you two siblings can live in harmony again, father will be relieved." Jiang Cheng nodded.
again?
get along in harmony?
Didn’t Jiang Wanyue have a very good relationship with her brother before?
Now, Jiang Wanyue was even more confused, but seeing Jiang Cheng's expression, it was obvious that he didn't want to continue this topic. She planned to go back and ask Chunhe and Bujing about it.
Jiang Wanyue didn't answer, and Jiang Cheng didn't seem to have any intention of forcing Jiang Wanyue to make any promises. Both of them remained silent.
After a long silence, Jiang Cheng seemed to have made up his mind and said, "The Regent will return to the court tomorrow. The Emperor wants to hold a palace banquet in Chongde Hall to welcome the Regent."
Jiang Wanyue paused, lowered her eyes again, concealing the surging emotions in her eyes, and tried hard to control herself from thinking about that person.
But since it was a welcoming banquet, all officials and ministers could attend the banquet. However, Jiang Cheng wanted to tell her, did the emperor also require them to bring their families?
Seeing Jiang Wanyue lowering her head and not speaking, Jiang Cheng thought that she was resentful about the extermination of the Ye family.
After all, everyone in the capital knew that it was the Ye family who took in Xie Jingce, and the Jiang family had always been closer to the Ye family. Moreover, the former queen Ye Qingwu and Jiang Wanyue were close friends.
"Yue'er, the Regent is not as ruthless as you think." Jiang Cheng sighed.
Jiang Wanyue just smiled and said nothing. Jiang Cheng told her this because he must be afraid that she would lose her composure in front of the Regent tomorrow and cause some irreparable losses.
But even if the real Jiang Wanyue was standing here, she would not dare to provoke the Regent, not to mention that she was a reborn person?
But rebirth sounded too shocking, so she couldn't say it out loud.
Jiang Wanyue only said: "Don't worry, father. I know my limits."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Even if Wei'er has committed a crime, she is still a member of our Jiang family. Now that she is almost 15 years old, it's time to take her out to see the world. Let's take her to the palace banquet tomorrow."
Jiang Wanyue frowned. Seeing this, Jiang Cheng added, "That Chen will continue to be confined to the courtyard. I will take you two sisters to the palace tomorrow."
In fact, Jiang Wanyue is already eighteen years old this year, but she has never been engaged. Jiang Cheng is also anxious, but he is not an old-fashioned person who only knows how to read books of sages. If she does not want to get married, the Shixin Earl's Mansion will not despise her and let her go hungry and clothed.
Jiang Wei is already fourteen years old and has reached the age to get married.
However, His Majesty had another reason for bringing his family into the palace this time, but he didn't know how to start the conversation, so he simply didn't say anything.
Jiang Wanyue didn't mind. As long as Jiang Wei behaved herself and didn't bother her, the two of them would live in peace.
Jiang Wanyue agreed immediately.
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Jiang Wanyue would not agree, after all, she had such a vicious intention. But after this incident, Jiang Cheng became more wary of Jiang Wei.
After finishing the business, the father and daughter chatted casually for a few minutes and then Jiang Wanyue left the study.
Chunhe and Bujing were standing guard at the door. When they saw Jiang Wanyue coming out, they said solemnly, "Miss, we just saw Manager Lin sneaking off to meet someone."
"Did you see clearly who it was?" Jiang Wanyue asked indifferently.
Chun He shook her head: "It was too far away, so I couldn't see clearly. But I don't think he looks familiar, so he shouldn't be from the mansion."
"It's okay. There is something more important to do right now. But it seems that Manager Lin didn't take the warning in the morning to heart." Jiang Wanyue smiled coldly, and after saying this incoherent sentence, she left the front yard.
In the afternoon, the Xiangyue Pavilion was already crowded with people standing in the yard, all of them whispering to each other and discussing Jiang Wanyue's intention of having the servants gather together.
Manager Lin stood at the front without saying a word.
Someone working at Mingxuan thought he knew the inside story, so he looked at Manager Lin and said, "I heard that Manager Li angered the eldest lady at Mingxuan. Maybe the eldest lady is here to punish Manager Lin."
"But what does this have to do with us..."
Before the man could answer, Jiang Wanyue came out of the room. Chunhe stepped forward and said loudly, "There is no need to speculate. The young lady will not embarrass you."
After a while, the crowd's discussions gradually died down.
Someone brought a chair for Jiang Wanyue. Jiang Wanyue sat down leisurely and glanced at the people below.
Among the group of servants, some were trembling with fear and dared not look up, some showed contempt and disdain, and some raised their heads proudly and stood straight.
Jiang Wanyue's eyes finally fixed on Manager Lin: "I called everyone here to remind you that now that the Lord has handed the household affairs to me, I am the one who makes all the arrangements in the mansion. You can't just be ordered around by someone who is not presentable. You should all put yourself in your place and do your job well!"
Jiang Wanyue's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone present. It immediately burst out among the crowd like a stone falling into a lake.
The discussion started again, and a bold person asked, "Then may I ask Miss, what does it mean to do one's job well?"
"This is a very good question," Jiang Wanyue smiled faintly, "Do your job well, that is, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and don't interfere in things that you shouldn't interfere in. I'm sure Manager Lin understands this principle very well."
Jiang Wanyue looked at Manager Lin with a half-smile.
Manager Lin was suddenly called out without warning, and he immediately knelt down and said, "I am guilty!"
"Where is the sin?"
"At the end of the quarter today, I should have reported the income and expenditure of the mansion to the young lady, but I was late, keeping her waiting for a long time. This is the first reason. Secondly, I took the initiative to make the young lady's decision and went to the aunt to ask for advice. This is unforgivable!"
Wow!
Everyone was shocked! What else was there to not understand? The "something that is not presentable" mentioned by the eldest lady must be Aunt Chen, and someone was dissatisfied again.
"My aunt has been in charge of the household affairs since my wife passed away. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. Why is my aunt not worthy of respect in the eyes of the eldest lady?"
Jiang Wanyue didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. Someone actually asked such a stupid question. She immediately winked at Bu Jing.
He understood without surprise and stepped forward and said, "Do you all know why the aunt was confined? The aunt is the concubine of the Lord, but the eldest daughter is the legitimate master of the Lord's house. Insulting the legitimate daughter of the Lord's house is like a servant offending the master."
After hearing this, the man didn't know how to refute and just gave up.
"Since Manager Lin is guilty, he should be punished. Come, take Manager Lin away and give him forty lashes!" Jiang Wanyue gave the order coldly.
When Manager Lin heard that the punishment was forty lashes, he was extremely shocked, but he did not dare to refute it because he was afraid that Jiang Wanyue would do something else.
Jiang Wanyue was indeed originally prepared to give only thirty lashes of the cane, but who knew that Manager Lin was secretly colluding with people outside the Shixin Earl's Mansion, so it would be better to collect some interest first.
Soon someone took Manager Lin away. The servants who were watching the show thought that Manager Lin would at most resist a bit and did not want to leave quietly.
Forty lashes of the cane are enough to take away half a person's life.
Everyone sighed.
Some smart people realized that Jiang Wanyue was making an example of someone to scare the monkeys and using Manager Lin to establish her authority.
Perhaps the pain was unbearable, and a pig-slaughtering scream was heard from outside, which made everyone present feel horrified.
Suddenly the sound stopped, and a servant came to report that Manager Lin had fainted, but he was finally taken away after being beaten enough times.
Jiang Wanyue just looked at the people below quietly, with a smile on her lips all the time, but in the eyes of everyone, this smile was like a Shura taking lives.
At this point, the matter came to an end and everyone dispersed. The matter quickly spread throughout the entire Bo Mansion, and Jiang Wanyue's methods also planted the seeds in everyone's hearts.
