Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 168: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 48

She rushed forward while Banxia wasn't paying attention, pulling her hair, pinching her waist, and doing everything she could to try to make her submit.

Banxia was startled and tried to resist in panic.

Yunxi naturally realized that the nanny in front of her was the one who served Old Madam Jiang. She snorted coldly and stopped the two of them.

"Madame Zhou is so arrogant! How dare a servant come to the mistress's yard and bully others?"

Nanny Zhou stopped what she was doing when she heard Yunxi's words, and quickly bowed and performed a standard salute.

"Madam, I was ordered by the old lady to come and supervise her confinement. Who would have thought that this maid would actually stop me from notifying you? If the old lady knew about this, who knows what would happen. I was afraid of something going wrong, so I planned to skip her and go to the lady, but she kept stopping me. I feel really wronged!"

Yun Xi walked over with a cold expression, "Madam, you are joking. There is a rule in my yard that you cannot barge in casually. I, a maidservant, tried to protect my master, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by Madam."

Nanny Zhou smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible.

"Madam is right. I am not clear about this and I am sorry for being so presumptuous. It was really because Madam urged me to go back and report earlier that I became anxious."

Yunxi's expression was even colder. It had been less than half an hour since Aunt Hua left, and Old Madam Jiang had already sent someone to urge her. She was really impatient and was looking forward to putting her in solitary confinement.

This old thing, Madam Zhou, always relies on the old lady's power in her words and deeds. It's really disgusting.

"I can understand why Madam is anxious. The Third Miss has just brought us a plate of snacks. Let her take it away!" Yun Xi said with a softened expression.

Nanny Zhou did not comment and just waited there in silence.

Yun Xi then pulled Jiang Xinghui into the house, hurriedly said a few kind words to her, put the prepared snacks into the food box and let her leave.

As soon as Jiang Xinghui left, Jingxin Garden was closed from Madam Zhou's sight, which was in line with the name of this courtyard.

Yunxi was put in solitary confinement, but the people in the mansion were not affected at all and were busy with their own affairs.

At the dinner table, Jiang Yueshu got along well with a few people except Jiang Xinghui, and they always talked to each other happily.

As for Jiang Xinghui, she listened alone in silence, and seemed to be a little withdrawn.

After finishing her meal and returning to her own courtyard, Jiang Xinghui started to throw the teacups in the room in annoyance. She stopped after throwing down a set.

She didn't dare to drop too many pieces, otherwise it would be easy to be discovered when she was replenishing the furniture.

Jiang Xinghui was still feeling depressed and uncomfortable, so he called his personal maid and humiliated her.

Her temper has been getting worse these days, and she is always easily angry. She doesn't want to see Jiang Yueshu's smug and complacent look anymore.

But she had no reason not to dine with everyone, and she was also afraid that she would be ignored even more completely if she was away from her father's eyes, so she endured her temper and just watched the whole family.

Every time she left, she would feel angry and unable to vent.

It was not until one day she imitated her mother and vented her anger on the maid and beat her that the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

After that, she maintained a gentle appearance in front of outsiders, while secretly venting her anger through her servants.

Of course, she was not angry just because of Jiang Yueshu. Whenever she was upset in the shop, she would find the maid's mistakes to vent her anger.

Because of what happened at Linglongxuan a while ago, Jiang Xinghui was in the spotlight. The women in the imperial city all rushed to see her make a fool of herself, especially those noble ladies who admired Lu Zhao.

In the past, Jiang Xinghui had a good reputation, like a goddess who was ignorant of the world. But Yun Xi's incident a while ago made many ladies despise her, so naturally they had different opinions about Jiang Xinghui, their biological daughter.

As ladies of noble families, they would not lower themselves to embarrass a little girl, but the younger ladies in their families did not have such scruples.

Under the influence of these two factors, noble ladies came one after another to visit Linglongxuan in person. In name, they were here to contribute to the people, but they were actually making endless sarcastic remarks to Jiang Xinghui, the owner of Linglongxuan.

It happened that they did buy some accessories, and although they were cheap, they did do their part, so Jiang Xinghui could only bear with it.

Jiang Xinghui was made miserable by them, and because of what his mother had said before, he was afraid that his negligence would affect his marriage, so he could only suppress his anger and do his best to entertain the guests.

Without Yunxi's advice, Jiang Xinghui could only endure and vent his emotions while secretly thinking of a solution.

Jiang Yueshu had also heard of Jiang Xinghui's behavior. She just smiled meaningfully and continued to work on her tasks at a leisurely pace.

Old Mrs. Jiang was old, and seeing that Liu Jingyan and Jiang Yueshu had learned enough, she handed over some matters in the mansion to them, which could be considered as a training for them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yueshu began to remove all the nails that Yun Xi had planted in the mansion, and at the same time secretly sent some people into the mansion.

So, without Yunxi's knowledge, the Jiang Mansion had been quietly changing, and even Jiang Yueshu had changed as a whole.

Compared to the beginning, she was so fat that her facial features could not be seen clearly, and her body was bloated. She was so tired that she needed a maid to support her even after walking a few more steps.

Although she is not yet slender and graceful, she looks just a little fatter than the average woman. Her movements are neat and steady, her body is slim, and with her etiquette and manners, she looks even more charming, with the graceful demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Jiang's father was the first to notice the changes in Jiang Yueshu. Although his daughter looked better than before, he was still worried about Jiang Yueshu's health. He was afraid that she was depressed about her engagement and ate less, so he specially called the court doctor to take her pulse.

When he heard that his daughter was fine, Father Jiang was no longer worried. He looked at her changes with relief and was very satisfied with his own arrangements. He told her to take care of her health and stopped caring about her.

Jiang Xinghui also noticed the changes in Jiang Yueshu. Looking at the woman who was still a little fat but still looked pretty and charming, his hands under the dinner table had already tightly clenched his sleeves, feeling both jealous and afraid.

We can already see a glimpse of Jiang Yueshu's beauty now. If she continues to lose weight, she will only become more stunning, as will her overall temperament.

Jiang Xinghui was somewhat dazed. How could she look even a little bit like the fool lady who was despised by all the ladies in the imperial city half a year ago?

Thinking of how stunning the prince was on the day he fell into the water, Jiang Xinghui's eyes darkened. She would never allow anyone to take the prince away. The prince was hers!

After thinking about this, Jiang Xinghui began to reduce the time she spent in Linglongxuan. She embroidered a sachet with her own hands and blocked Lu Zhao's way back home from court, and handed it to him with a shy look on her face.

Lu Zhao looked at the delicate woman in front of him in surprise. He was a little dazed after being stuffed with the sachet. Then he reacted and quickly caught up with Jiang Xinghui.

After Jiang Xinghui's few sweet words, Lu Zhao looked at her with even softer eyes. The two of them talked to each other for a long time before Lu Zhao sent Jiang Xinghui back.

From then on, Jiang Xinghui seemed to have completely abandoned her daughter's reserve and always met Lu Zhao intentionally or unintentionally. The relationship between the two also became closer from being unfamiliar at the beginning.
