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

The word "useless" deeply irritated Jiang Rang.

He had been suppressed by his eldest brother Jiang An since he was a child. When he finally endured it until Jiang An died and he could take over the power, he was still called "useless" by his daughter.

Especially because of this daughter, he lost his title.

Jiang Rang smiled coldly, "You are so arrogant that you are unwilling to serve medicine. Who dares to send you to serve the Queen Mother? And you still say I am useless? I tell you, once you leave this door, you can only go to a brothel to sell your smiles."

Jiang Rang put his hands behind his back, his tone full of regret, "I should have beaten you to death earlier, and sent your body and your mother's body to His Majesty. Then he would not have punished me."

He didn't care about the lives of Bai Shifu and Jiang Wanwan at all. If he could exchange them for official positions, Jiang Rang would send them away immediately.

It's a pity... He watched his wife, who had been with him for many years, die for Jiang Wanwan. He was soft-hearted for the only time and saved Jiang Wanwan's life, but left behind such a huge disaster.

"Don't even think about being in a good family. Even the Mu family doesn't like you anymore. Let me see if there are any officials who are in need of concubines..."

Jiang Wanwan covered her face and looked at the cruel Jiang Rang with wide eyes, feeling very cold in her heart.

"I am your daughter after all, and you are sending me to be a concubine? Aren't you afraid that those scholars will laugh at you for being a servile and fawning person?"

"Isn't this your own fault? There are no secrets in the capital. Do you think other people don't know about your affairs? I'm afraid those talented men who have just passed the imperial examination this year are unwilling to marry you, for fear of incurring the wrath of His Majesty and delaying their careers as officials." Jiang Rang showed no mercy to Jiang Wanwan.

"You're all useless. You don't help me, mother doesn't help me, and none of you help me." Jiang Wanwan seemed to have just understood. She cried like crazy and struggled to prevent the servants from getting close to her.

Jiang Wanwan blamed the heaven, the earth, and her parents, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

"Father, even though it was the Queen Mother who asked you to choose a husband for Wanwan, one cannot escape the word 'filial piety' when dealing with people. Isn't the current Queen Mother your Majesty's biological mother? She must value the word 'filial piety' more and expect your Majesty to treat her with filial piety."

"So, if you can't find a suitable one right now, just say that Wanwan really wants to mourn for her mother and wait for two or three years. By then, when the rumors have died down, won't you be able to find a good one?"

Jiang Siqi is considered the most intelligent man in Jiang Rang's family.

He thought that if he had been there at his coming-of-age ceremony that day, things would never have turned out the way they are now.

If he were here, he would just lie down next to the princess. Wouldn't that be considered climbing up the social ladder?

Your Majesty and the Queen care about the status of the princess's husband. The status of the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo just matches the status of the princess. Your Majesty will definitely grant them a marriage.

As the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the princess's son-in-law, who could be more noble than him?

It's just about marrying one more woman.

But... there is no if.

If he had not been stopped by the incessant heavy rain on his way back from Daizhou, how could he have missed Jiang Wanwan's coming-of-age ceremony and let the Jiang Mansion become like this?

"I'm afraid that His Majesty and the Queen will be angry." Jiang Rang frowned, thinking about what Jiang Siqi said.

"My son heard that the Queen Mother wants to choose a suitable child from the Jiang family to inherit the title of Duke of Xianzhenguo. Dad, you also know the qualifications of the sons and nephews of the Jiang family. It will be difficult to find a suitable person in a short time."

"After the Autumn Examination in three years, maybe my son will pass the exam and get back the position of Duke of Zhenguo. By then, the Empress Dowager will have to rely on us, right? Wouldn't it be more useful to marry Wanwan off at that time?"

Jiang Siqi didn't really want to protect Jiang Wanwan, he just felt that Jiang Wanwan could still be of other use.

Jiang Rang looked at Jiang Siqi, "Are you so confident?"

"My son's grades are among the best in the Bai Lu Dong Academy." Jiang Siqi patted his chest, his eyes shining, and his tone was full of confidence.

Bailudong Academy of Calligraphy is a library located in Daizhou.

In Daizhou, it is known as the "No. 1 Hospital in Daizhou".

The wealthy families in the capital would invite teachers to their homes to give lessons in person, but by the time of Jiang Rang's generation, the Zhenguo Mansion was financially exhausted and could no longer afford to hire good teachers.

Jiang Rang's wife, now the late wife, for the sake of her son's future, asked around for colleges everywhere, wanting to send Jiang Siqi to college so that he could get the best education.

At the same time, it also gave Jiang Siqi the opportunity to interact more with other powerful people.

So she sent Jiang Siqi to Daizhou.

As Bai Shifu wished, Jiang Siqi also learned a lot.

Jiang Rang certainly knew the reputation of the Bai Lu Grotto Academy, and he also knew that the great scholar was teaching in the Bai Lu Grotto Academy in Daizhou.

Since the great scholar recognized Jiang Siqi's talent, Jiang Rang felt relieved and was eager to wait for Jiang Siqi to gain fame and honor.

Jiang Rang then put away his anger, revealed a somewhat satisfied look, and patted Jiang Siqi on the back, "Yes, it's not that easy to find the right person. Even if the Queen Mother is anxious, she has to take her time to choose! Who can be more suitable than my Qi'er?"

--------

The aroma of tea wafted out of the window.

Jiang Yunxi stood by the window, watching a small white butterfly land on the forsythia in the garden.

"Did he really say that?"

Nan Nan nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Yunxi suddenly lost interest in appreciating the flowers. Thinking of how Jiang Siqi had become Zhao Zheyong's helper in her previous life, and the scene when Jiang Siqi had killed her in her previous life, she clenched the wall of the cup slightly.

She would never allow Jiang Rang to have another chance to rise again, nor would she acknowledge Jiang Siqi as her brother, nor would she allow her enemy's son to be adopted under Jiang An's name.

"Why didn't he take part in the Autumn Examination this year?"

Jiang Yunxi remembered that Jiang Siqi also entered the officialdom at the age of seventeen in his previous life. However, if Jiang Siqi was so confident in his abilities, Jiang Yunxi felt that even if he took the exam this year, he would be able to pass and become an official.

"I asked my servant to check it out. The students and teachers in the academy all speak highly of him. This may be a compliment because he is the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo, but it is generally credible. His scores in the academy exams have always been above average."

"He wanted to take the exam this year, but the great scholar who taught at Bai Lu Cave said that he was still young and needed more experience before taking the exam. Otherwise, if he entered the officialdom at an early age, he would suffer losses. So he did not go this year."

Jiang Yunxi's mouth curled up into a cruel arc, "Since he missed this time, don't even think about participating in the next one."

She would not give Jiang Siqi the opportunity to become an official.

Nan Nan felt that her princess was emitting an aura that was both dangerous and charming.
