The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Although Jiang Yunxi has been cherished and cared for by Jiang Xueyi since he was a child.

But Jiang Yunxi could feel that there was always a layer of distance between Jiang Xueyi and her.

It's like taking care of a relative's child. Although you show love and affection,... there is always a layer of distance between them.

It was also because of this layer of separation that Jiang Yunxi could faintly feel:

It seems that Jiang Xueyi takes care of Jiang Yunxi only because Jiang An brought glory to Jiang Xueyi before, and Jiang Xueyi is now repaying Jiang Yunxi.

Jiang Yunxi didn't dare to think about it. If it was really her who got into trouble today, would Jiang Xueyi cover up the matter for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and let Jiang Yunxi suffer the loss?

Because, compared to Jiang Yunxi, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is Jiang Xueyi's reliance.

Jiang Yunxi didn't dare to think about it.

She knew that she was not Jiang Xueyi's biological granddaughter, so she did not dare to ask for Jiang Xueyi's 100% sincere love.

People are always bound together by the shackles of interest.

She didn't dare to think too much, for fear that if she thought about it carefully, she would find that Jiang Xueyi's kindness to her was all calculation.

She can only become stronger and more independent to be more confident.

Jiang Yunxi walked quietly to the front hall.

In the front hall, Empress Dowager Jiang Xueyi and Emperor Zhao Changta sat at the top seats.

Zhao Changyu, Nan Nan and Zhen Zhen were all kneeling below.

Zhao Changta already knew the whole story. He kept staring at Zhao Changyu, "Brother Yu, why are you there today?" His tone was full of vigilance.

"I have always admired the late Duke of Zhenguo. I thought that since it is an invitation from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it would be difficult to refuse." Zhao Changyu lowered his head, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Jiang Yunxi secretly watched their reactions and suddenly realized that perhaps Zhao Changta had always been wary of his younger brother Zhao Changyu and had never trusted him.

Therefore, Zhao Changta summoned Zhao Changyu back from the south. On the surface, he said that he hoped to reunite his family, but in fact, he deprived Zhao Changyu of his power and only gave him some honorary positions.

Zhao Changyu knew Zhao Changta's concerns, so he also avoided interacting with aristocratic families.

Today, perhaps Zhao Changyu really did not reject the invitation out of consideration for Jiang An's sake and to support the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

At the same time, Zhao Changyu also felt that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was no longer the same as it used to be. The Duke of Zhenguo now only had idle tasks. His visit to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would not arouse Zhao Changta's suspicion.

But things went against his wishes. Such a big thing happened and he was at the scene.

I’m afraid Zhao Changta will become even more suspicious of him.

Maybe, Zhao Ya’s affairs will be linked to Zhao Changyu.

Jiang Yunxi clenched his fists silently.

She thought to herself, no wonder Zhao Changyu in his previous life wanted to rebel. She was afraid that after Zhao Changta's death, Zhao Zheyong's fear of him would increase, thus forcing Zhao Changyu to rebel.

"Oh, the Duke of Zhenguo." Zhao Changta's tone was full of disdain. "If Jiang An was here, there wouldn't be so many things. This Jiang Rang doesn't have even a fraction of Jiang An's intelligence. He's so confused and stupid! He allowed the woman in his family to get into such trouble. It's all because of his poor discipline!"

Zhao Changta had made his attitude clear. He turned to look at Jiang Xueyi, who was clutching her handkerchief tightly. "Mother, what do you think we should do with him?"

On the surface, his tone was respectful, but in fact he was testing Jiang Xueyi's attitude.

Zhao Changta had said so much, Jiang Xueyi knew that she couldn't confront him head-on, so she followed his words and said, "Your Majesty, please abolish his title of Duke of the State."

By doing this, Jiang Xueyi was pushing the trouble back onto Zhao Changta.

Jiang An sacrificed his life for the Zhao family's kingdom, leaving behind only a premature baby girl. So, in order to show that he was a grateful person, Zhao Changta bestowed all the glory on the second son of the Jiang family.

But within a generation, Zhao Changta was about to take back all these honors.

Doesn't this give the people of the world an excuse to call Zhao Changta ungrateful?

Zhao Changta had also thought of this, but he did not answer.

Jiang Yunxi came out from behind and saluted towards Zhao Changta.

Seeing Jiang Yunxi, Zhao Changta slowly spoke, "In my heart, there is only one Zhenguogong. If today's incident was only aimed at Yaer, perhaps I would not have made this decision. But I heard that this incident was supposed to happen to Yunxi. I will never tolerate it. Jiang Rang got this position by relying on Jiang An's glory. Now he is thinking of harming his only daughter. He is really a beast with a snake heart in human face."

Zhao Changta waved to Jiang Yunxi, "Yunxi, come here."

Jiang Yunxi walked over to Zhao Changta, who held her hand affectionately and said, "Tell me, did your second uncle go too far?"

Jiang Yunxi thought that Zhao Changta was pushing the trouble onto her again.

"I really couldn't calm down for a while. This happened to the princess, but I felt the same way. Not only that, but I felt even more heartbroken by the betrayal of my relatives."

Jiang Yunxi spoke slowly.

"I remember that His Majesty and the Queen Mother always told me stories about my father. I also read a lot of official and unofficial histories, trying to understand my father more, but I couldn't imagine what he was like when he was alive through these." Her tone was full of affection.

"But I know that no matter what, I will never allow others to ruin his reputation and the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

When Jiang Yunxi said this, Zhao Changta looked satisfied.

She looked up at Jiang Xueyi's hand that was clenching the handkerchief, and continued calmly, "But I can't let my father have no successor. I am a woman, and I cannot inherit his title, but I hope his character will continue. If your majesty allows, please allow Yunxi to select a nephew with outstanding character and learning from the clan members to be my father's adopted son, so that he can inherit my father's will and protect my dynasty's territory for my father."

This is the alternative proposed by Jiang Yunxi.

Jiang Yunxi knew that Queen Mother Jiang Xueyi needed the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Without this honor, all that Jiang Xueyi relied on would be in vain.

But now, Emperor Zhao Changta is determined to protect his daughter and has made it clear that he does not want Jiang Rang to sit in this position.

If they argued with each other over this matter, even if Zhao Changta gave in this time and saved Jiang Rang's position, there was no guarantee that he would not have any grudges in his heart.

They are wearing away their affection and respect for each other.

In a two-way game, no one is a winner.

Jiang Yunxi suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Jiang Xueyi turned against Zhao Changta in order to help her, and was eventually poisoned to death by Zhao Changta.

The past was still vivid in his mind, and Jiang Yunxi didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

The method she proposed not only kicked Jiang Rang out of the position of Duke of Zhenguo, but also secured the Jiang family's position as the heir to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, preventing Zhao Changta from being despised by the people.

It’s a good way to make everyone happy.
