Xiao Yimo felt numb all over.

"Chu Yu, let's be honest. Did I ever say we wanted to have a big party? It was you who disagreed and kept saying we had to wait until Xiao Jiu was settled."

"Look, Xiaojiu's problems keep coming one after another. If we don't settle down, won't our lives be difficult?"

Chu Yu ignored him and continued to walk up, and she walked so fast that Xiao Yimo could hardly catch up.

Jiang Jiu saw them and shook her head helplessly, knowing that none of the people under her command were content.

I asked Chu Yu to take care of the hot spring villa, so why did he come here?

Xiao Yimo is the same, even his own wife won't persuade him.

Suddenly, he remembered that Xiao Yimo must come to the capital. He took the blueprints to look for skilled craftsmen, and it seemed that there was some progress.

Sure enough, the two of them were fighting and quarreling. Just when Chu Yu passed by Jiang Jiu, Jiang Jiu suddenly grabbed her.

"Who?" Chu Yu turned her head and saw that it was a man. Just as she was about to raise her hand to slap him, she saw the other person smiling smugly.

"Xiao Jiu...you, why are you dressed like this?"

When Chu Yu saw Jiang Jiu, she felt both distressed and excited. She hugged Jiang Jiu and couldn't help but complain.

"I heard you fell into the water. I was so worried. Are you okay? You look pale. Are you sick?"

As she spoke, Chu Yu took Jiang Jiu's hand and was about to take his pulse.

Xiao Yimo didn't catch up and saw his wife being molested by a young and handsome man.

The key issue is that Chu Yu, who always has a bad temper, actually let it happen.

He was so angry that he walked forward and prepared to grab Jiang Jiu's hand.

Unexpectedly, it was picked open by someone with a sword.

Xiao Yimo quickly pushed out a palm, but found that the person who pushed him away was actually King Qi.

Looking at the man next to Chu Yu, it turned out to be Jiang Jiu, a woman disguised as a man.

It was a false alarm and he rolled his eyes.

"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu, you really know how to play."

After Chu Yu took Jiang Jiu's pulse, she hugged him with heartache.

"Your Qi and blood are both deficient. I want to stay by your side and help you replenish your body. I want you to go to Beijing without me. You see, no one will care about you when you are sick."

After saying this, he glared at Zhao Zhuoxi in dissatisfaction.

Zhao Zhuoxi felt very wronged and scratched his nose. He had been taking care of her for three days and three nights without taking off his clothes.

Of course, apart from taking care of the person and putting him to bed...this part was ignored because he was the one who was injured.

"Let's go to the Guanyin Temple and I'll show you a good show."

Jiang Jiu took Chu Yu and others and walked all the way to the Guanyin Temple.

The woman from the Chang family had arrived long ago and was waiting outside the temple. Her guards negotiated with the abbot of the temple to clear the main hall.

But the abbot did not buy it and just said that everyone is equal in front of the Buddha.

The maids and old women were guarding the entrance of the main hall. After the people who were worshipping Buddha in front had entered, they would not let anyone in later. They had to wait until the Chang family had finished worshipping before they were allowed in.

Judging from their appearance, they are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and no one can afford to offend them.

They are all waiting outside.

When Jiang Jiu and the others arrived at the Guanyin Temple, the women of the Chang family had already finished their worship, and people began to enter the main hall one after another.

Jiang Jiu saw Jiang Mingyue at a glance. She was following Mrs. Chang.

Xiao Yimo supported Chu Yu and they both worshipped Guanyin together.

Jiang Jiu came to the backyard while waiting for them.

Suddenly, a sharp curse was heard.

"You bastard, you have no eyes. You don't even look in the mirror at the well. You are just a rough and uncouth person from the countryside, and you actually want to enter the palace..."

"Sister, don't worry about her. She can't enter the palace. Didn't you hear what mother said? She was actually married in the countryside to a playboy. She came to the capital after getting divorced. Why would the palace want a woman with such an unclear background like her?"

Jiang Mingyue said weakly, "I don't want to enter the palace to be the emperor's concubine, I just want to be a maid. It was my father's request, not my own."

"Humph, you know what you are thinking. Anyway, you are nothing like our Chang family."

After they finished talking, they left together, leaving Jiang Mingyue alone.

Even her maids despised her.

At this moment, Jiang Jiu walked over slowly from the darkness.

"I thought you would have a good life in the Chang family with your personality, but how did it come to this? Are your methods nothing more than this?"

Jiang Mingyue turned around suddenly and saw Jiang Jiu dressed as a man, walking towards her with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Why are you in the capital? And dressed like this? Could it be that the King of Qi doesn't want you anymore..."

Jiang Jiu snorted coldly: "You are still so venomous towards me. How come you dare not say anything to the sisters of the Chang family? You really are a coward."

Jiang Mingyue pursed her lips, her face gloomy, and glanced at Jiang Jiu with disgust.

"What on earth are you doing in the capital?"

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly: "You pretended to be me, and you only knew that I was the concubine's daughter of Lord Chang, but you didn't know anything about my mother. Of course, I came here to find out the truth."

Jiang Mingyue really didn't know much. Before she came to the capital, she only heard from her mother that Jiang Jiu's mother and her mother were good sisters and that she had once written a letter asking her mother to go and play.

Jiang Mingyue always thought that Jiang Jiu's mother died of illness, but she didn't expect there was another hidden story.

"What truth?"

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "When my mother gave herself to Lord Chang, she didn't know that he already had a wife at home. She had been living in the Screaming Courtyard."

"Later, Madam Chang found out and sent people to hunt down my mother. My mother had no choice but to flee the capital with me, who was only a hundred days old."

Jiang Mingyue was shocked after hearing this: "What? You mean it was Madam Chang who killed your mother?"

Jiang Jiu smiled: "That's inevitable. This time I go to Beijing, I will not only avenge my mother, but also find out who betrayed my mother. And Lord Chang actually deceived my mother. I can't swallow this..."

Jiang Mingyue felt like her heart had stopped beating.

"So, Madam Chang isn't as kind as she seems. By entering the Chang family, I'm actually walking into a dangerous place?"

"You, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jiang Jiu shrugged helplessly: "You didn't tell me when you pretended to be me and went to Beijing. What could I tell you? If I had known you were going to Beijing, I should have told you. I would love to have someone avenge me and find out about the Chang family's situation for me."

Jiang Mingyue originally thought that she was looking for wealth and glory when she came to the capital by pretending to be Jiang Jiu, but she did not expect that Madam Chang was her enemy.

She still remembered the first day she entered the Chang family and saw the shock and strange smile on Mrs. Chang's face when she held the jade pendant.

Now it seems that from the moment she entered the mansion, Madam Chang had been on guard against her and had plans for her.

"The Chang family is not as dirty as you think. Madam Chang is kind to others, and Lord Chang has already planned to arrange for me to enter the palace as a maid."

"The Queen in the palace is Madam Chang's cousin. She will definitely take care of me."

Jiang Jiu couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "You are really naive. I know what you are thinking. You think that with your beauty, once you enter the palace, you will definitely do everything possible to seduce the emperor. One day, you will become the emperor's concubine. Who dares to look down on you..."

Jiang Mingyue's face froze. Her little thoughts were actually seen through by Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu then stabbed him in the back: "Do you think I'm the only one who can see that? I'm afraid Madam Chang has already guessed it. She entered the palace and didn't even know how she died, yet she still dreamed of seeing the emperor... How ridiculous."
