The passers-by are vicious

Seeing Jiang Wanwan's look and Bier's frightened expression, those who didn't know would think that Su Wanran forced the master and servant together.

She couldn't leave Jiang Wanwan to talk, fearing that she would collapse in front of her, so she hurriedly said, "Sis, you are so weak, so go back and rest. I have some medicinal herbs in my dowry. If you need them, send someone to my yard to get them."

Su Wanran spoke sincerely and with a look of concern on her face.

But Jiang Wanwan couldn't believe that Su Wanran would really care about her.

No matter what, Su Wanran is a bastard daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. How could she look down on Jiang Wanwan, the daughter of a scholar? She just has her own agenda and hopes that Jiang Wanwan can join forces with her to deal with Su Luoyan.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed. Jiang Wanwan pretended to be stupid and there was nothing she could do.

Su Wanran just looked at the backs of Jiang Wanwan and Bier, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

Her personal maid Yulan followed Su Wanran's gaze and said, "She is beautiful, but she looks so fragile. But it's not certain how long she can live. Why should you dirty your hands?"

Su Wanran's beautiful face was cold: "Even if she is hiding, but with that face, the Marquis will be sure not to be moved when he sees her."

Although she relied on her relationship with the Marquis to escape from the Shangshu Mansion and barely fight for a chance of survival, Su Wanran had an inexplicable premonition the moment she saw Jiang Wanwan.

The Marquis must not be allowed to see her, otherwise it would affect the relationship between her and the Marquis.

She originally wanted to use Jiang Wanwan to hold Su Luoyan back so that she would have no time to focus on herself, so that she could take the opportunity to deepen her relationship with the Marquis.

I just didn't expect Aunt Zhao to be so stupid. I also have a brain about Aunt Jiang. If I don't fall into her trap, she will be a threat and cannot be kept.

Yulan disagreed, and instead said: "That girl doesn't have to do it herself, isn't there still... the courtyard? The eldest lady is proud of her status as the wife and likes the marquis, how can she resist not taking action?"

After hearing what Yulan said, Su Wanran thought for a moment and nodded: "You are right, I should keep calm. My good sister may be even angrier than me."

A smile appeared on Su Wanran's beautiful face, gentle yet cold, making people shudder.

On the way back, Bi'er supported Jiang Wanwan and said worriedly: "Now it seems that this lady is not a gentle person, and that Wan Yi Niang is not easy to get along with. I'm afraid that Yi Niang's situation will become more difficult in the future."

Jiang Wanwan knew that Bi'er was right about her worries and that the current situation was very dangerous, but she still spoke to comfort her: "The daughter of the Shangshu Mansion naturally has her own pride."

Jiang Wanwan was not surprised that Madam Su Luoyan would give them a show of power.

After all, she had just married into the family, and she had to do something to let the servants in the mansion know her power.

Just thinking of the look that Madam Su Luoyan gave her before she left, Jiang Wanwan's heart sank: "But I'm afraid it will be hard to have peace in the future."

Su Luoyan has just joined and hasn’t done anything to me yet, but after a few days I’m afraid she will...

After all, the death of an unfavored concubine is not a big deal.

What's more, if she didn't take Su Wanran's ladder to help her deal with Su Wanran, she was afraid that Su Wanran would not tolerate her.

We are really attacked from both sides.

Fortunately, even if the two of them took action, they would not be too quick. After all, Old Madam Song, who had just married and caused unrest in the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to watch the show, would not tolerate it.

That night, the Marquis went to Su Wanran's room to sit for a while, and returned to the study at night without staying overnight.

Jiang Wanwan leaned on the bed, listening to Bier's news, thinking in her heart that it seemed that Su Wanran was not as popular with the Marquis as she had imagined.

At least they didn't make an exception for her to stay overnight, so I guess Madam Song wouldn't be angry.

After all, the Marquis did not like to enter the backyard and had never slept with a woman. Naturally, Old Lady Song was anxious to have a grandson, so she bought her and Aunt Zhao as concubines, perhaps with the intention of giving up the mother and keeping the son.

It's a pity that the Marquis never even met her and Aunt Zhao.

After paying respects to the Marquis's wife again, Jiang Wanwan left the side yard and was walking towards her own side yard with Bi'er. Suddenly, she heard a call from behind.

Looking back, I saw Su Wanran walking slowly towards me with her personal maid.

There was a smile on her pretty face, but there seemed to be a subtle hidden meaning in that smile.

"I heard that your brother is also taking the exam this year. I think he will definitely pass. I congratulate you in advance. But I don't know where he will be assigned to."

However, behind these gentle words, Jiang Wanwan keenly caught a hint of contempt.

She knew that although Su Wanran was congratulating her on the surface, she was actually implying that her brother was of low status and would not be able to get a good position even if he passed the exam.

Su Wanran's father was the current Shangshu, and her brother, as a bastard of the Shangshu's mansion, would naturally be assigned a better place.

In comparison, Jiang Wanwan's younger brother is just the son of an ordinary scholar and is indeed difficult to compare with him.

However, when Su Wanran reminded her, Jiang Wanwan remembered that her younger brother also took part in the imperial examination, but his literary talent was mediocre, and even if he passed the examination, he would probably only be assigned to the countryside.

It seems that she can't wait any longer. Her life is over anyway. So why not fight for her brother?

When she went to pay her respects again the next day, Jiang Wanwan deliberately wore the lotus bracelet that Su Luoyan had given her that day to show her submission.

When Su Wanran and Aunt Zhao left, Jiang Wanwan did not leave but stayed to chat with Su Luoyan who was in a good mood.

Then Jiang Wanwan spoke casually, with a look of respect and admiration: "I heard that your brother Su Ran ranked first in the high school entrance exam. I haven't congratulated you yet."

Su Luoyan's smiling face suddenly changed, and she almost couldn't keep her expression. It was only after Aunt Kong behind her secretly tugged at her sleeve that she managed to keep smiling: "Thank you for your congratulations, Aunt Jiang. It's also my fault for not paying attention. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known about this."

After making sure that her goal had been achieved, Jiang Wanwan didn't want to stay any longer and resigned when she saw that the time was almost up.

As soon as Jiang Wanwan left, Su Luoyan couldn't wait to speak: "Someone, bring some paper immediately. I have a letter for my mother. I can't let that bitch Su Wanran be so proud."

"Since he hasn't been given an official position yet, there's still time. It would be best if I could send that little bastard Su Ran to the countryside. It would be best if he couldn't turn over a new leaf."

The side courtyard of the marquis's mansion, the courtyard facing the river.

Bi'er hurriedly walked into the house from outside the courtyard: "Aunt, not long after we left, Madam really sent someone to deliver a letter back to the Shangshu Mansion."

Jiang Wanwan was not surprised. She put down the teacup and looked at the broken leaves floating in it. Her autumn-water eyes were soft but cold.

With a flick of her wrist wearing the lotus bracelet, the water in the teacup was poured directly back into the teapot, and the teacup was turned upside down on the table.

"It's time for me to show up."
