The old princess put a lot of effort into preparing the evening banquet. The entire palace was decorated with lights and all the noble ladies were dressed in fancy clothes, even Princess Changning was no exception.

Xiao Yifeng was only wearing an indigo robe, the same as his outfit during the day. To give face to the old princess, he sat at the banquet for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving.

The old princess could only watch the prince leave the table. When the banquet was over, she found out that Xiao Yifeng had returned to the military camp overnight.

Jiang Yutong went back to her room to take a nap in the afternoon. When she woke up, it was already mid-afternoon. She sat in the yard and teased Banban lazily.

Li Nanxing sent the carriage back.

Li Nanxing kept his head down throughout the whole process and left without saying a word.

Jiang Yutong originally wanted to ask a few questions about how the relationship went, but after what happened last night, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Jiang Yutong sighed, feeling really awkward.

After Jiang Yutong's sunflower water was clean, he felt refreshed.

She has been studying soap carefully these days, made a few pieces to try out, and they are quite good. She gave them to Sister-in-law Ding Lan and others, and they were all very satisfied.

What is made now is just laundry soap. Jiang Yutong also plans to add some medicinal herbs to make some specific soaps and facial soap.

Just as Jiang Yutong was thinking of going to Doctor Li's house to find some medicinal herbs, a noisy sound was heard at the door.

"Is this the one?"

"Go up and knock on the door."

Several men's voices rang out.

Jiang Yutong frowned. The voice was unfamiliar and he was sure he had never heard it before.

When Jiang Yutong was hesitating whether to go up and open the door, the door banged loudly.

Ding Lan felt something was wrong when he heard such a loud knock on the door, so he walked out and asked, "What's going on? Is someone causing trouble?"

Jiang Yutong shook her head, "I don't know."

"Jiang Yutong, open the door quickly."

Jiang Yutong asked through the door, "Who is it?"

"We are your brother's friends, open the door quickly."

When Jiang Yutong heard this, she thought of her younger brother whom she had met twice but never said a word to.

"I don't have a brother. You got the wrong person."

"Is Jiang Yaozu your brother? Open the door quickly, or you'll be waiting for him to be buried."

Hearing no movement from inside, the people outside started punching and kicking Jiang Yaozu, and Jiang Yaozu's wails were heard.

"Open the door quickly."

When Jiang Yutong heard this, she knew they were going to kill her. "I've severed ties with the Jiang family a long time ago. It's no use coming to me. If you want to fight or kill me, don't come to my door, or I'll report you to the police."

Jiang Yaozu's voice rang out, "Sister, please save me, please save me, I'm going to be beaten to death."

Then the door was banged again. "We're not afraid of reporting to the police. Your brother owes money to our gambling house. It's only natural for debts to be repaid. If you don't open the door, I'll chop off one of his hands first."

"Don't chop my hands off. My sister has money. My sister has money. I will pay it back."

"Then chop him off. Since ancient times, people have helped people in emergencies but not in poverty, let alone a gambler."

Jiang Yutong didn't take their words seriously at all.

"But I still say the same thing, whatever you want to do, don't get out of my door, or don't blame me for being rude."

There was a group of burly men in the gambling house outside, who were used to collecting debts. This was the first time I heard a woman so calm in such a situation.

"Hey, you little girl, you're quite arrogant. You think we're trying to scare you? I'll show you what I'm capable of."

"Chop off one of his little fingers."

Ding Lan and the other sisters-in-law were already pale with fear after hearing this. They poked Jiang Yutong and said, "Yutong, what should we do? You really don't care?"

Jiang Yutong's face darkened. It seemed that this group of people were determined to get some money from her, but Jiang Yutong would not give it to them no matter what.

She had no relationship with the Jiang family a long time ago. If it was something else, Jiang Yutong might have helped, but this gambling debt was a bottomless pit.

She went into the inner room, took out her bow and arrow, and climbed onto the roof.

"Everyone."

Everyone was still wondering where the sound came from, and when they looked up, they saw a woman standing on the roof with a bow and arrow in her hand, like a guard guarding the city.

After everyone looked at Jiang Yutong, Jiang Yutong spoke loudly.

"Everyone, listen carefully. I'll say it again. I've severed my relationship with the Jiang family. This is the document of severance, so don't even think about asking me for money. I'm not a soft-hearted person. I wish you could chop Jiang Yaozu off, but not in front of me. Do you understand? If you don't understand, don't blame the bow and arrow in my hand for disagreeing."

After Jiang Yutong finished speaking, the arrow shot at the feet of a man in black with a whoosh.

This archery skill shocked everyone.

I didn't expect that such a little girl could be so good at archery.

The man in black was obviously the leader. He spat at Jiang Yaozu and said, "You unlucky thing! You're worthless even after you die."

If Jiang Yaozu hadn't said that his sister was rich, their gambling house wouldn't have lent him money to gamble.

Jiang Yaozu trembled and knelt down in the direction of Jiang Yutong, "Sister, please save me. For the sake of our father, I beg you, you can't just stand by and watch me die."

Jiang Yutong looked at Jiang Yaozu, whose face was bruised and swollen, in front of her. The original owner had many memories of being bullied by him, so she had no sympathy for him at all, not to mention that gamblers were not worthy of sympathy.

"Take care of yourself. You have hands and feet. As long as you stop gambling, you will be able to pay off this gambling debt one day."

When the people in the gambling house saw that they really couldn't get the money, they got angry and started punching and kicking Jiang Yaozu again.

Jiang Yutong shot an arrow directly at the black-clothed man's crown, knocking his headband off. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you want to kill me, please stay away."

This arrow almost scared the man in black to death. He touched his hair and thought it was a close call, he almost lost his head.

He waved his hand, "Let's go."

Then several people dragged Jiang Yaozu away, leaving Jiang Yaozu like a dead pig, looking hopelessly at Jiang Yutong on the roof.

The door finally became quiet. Jiang Yutong breathed a sigh of relief and climbed down from the roof.

Ding Lan patted his chest and said, "I'm so scared, Yutong, you're really amazing."

Jiang Yutong smiled and said nothing, "Go to work."

Ding Lan hesitated to speak, "Yutong, you really don't care about your brother's life or death."

Jiang Yutong said in a low voice, "He's not my brother. Besides, if he's really in trouble, I can help, but this gambling debt is a bottomless pit. Don't worry, those people in the gambling house are just trying to scare you. They won't really do anything to Jiang Yaozu. If they really beat him to death, who will collect the debt?"

But there will be some physical pain.

But isn't this what he deserves? Since ancient times, pornography, gambling, and drugs have been the last things people should touch.

Although Ding Lan felt a little reluctant, she also felt that what Jiang Yutong said made sense.

"I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Yutong nodded and said, "Go get busy."

Jiang Yutong knew that everyone had a sympathetic mentality towards the weak, and that it was impossible to truly sever ties in this era. The Jiang family would still explode at any time like a time bomb, not to mention that Jiang Yaozu was addicted to gambling.
