Jiang Mingyue was very unwilling.

She wanted to change the marriage, but she didn't know that Jiang Jiu could actually subdue Lu Yunyang.

She had experienced Lu Yunyang's temper before.

In her previous life, when she married Lu Yunyang, she was full of enthusiasm. Even though she knew that he had eight concubines, she had to show him some respect at least because her father was the county magistrate.

But Lu Yunyang was not there on the wedding night.

And she, a legitimate wife, was bullied by concubines and cried every day.

But Lu Yunyang didn't care at all, saying that as his wife, she didn't even have this little trick and was not worthy of being his wife.

Jiang Mingyue fainted from anger.

From then on, Lu Yunyang imprisoned her in the mansion on the pretext of her illness, and she had almost nothing to do except serving her parents-in-law.

Lu Yunyang never let her leave the house, let alone the Ninth Prince's House.

It was not until later that she heard that Lu Yunyang was in Su City and was favored by Princess Qiyang.

Princess Qiyang's fiefdom is just south of Sucheng, so close yet so far away...

Jiang Mingyue died unwillingly and heartbroken.

Unexpectedly, God gave her a chance to be reborn.

In this life, she will no longer marry Lu Yunyang, but will marry Jiang Jiu instead. Jiang Jiu is right. Although Chang Zhili is a poor scholar, he is ambitious and hardworking.

Before she passed away in her previous life, she heard that Chang Zhili had passed the imperial examination and was going to take Jiang Jiu to Beijing.

In this life, she will not pursue love, but live a down-to-earth life. In a few years, she will become the wife of the top scholar.

Who would have thought that after the remarriage, everything would be different.

Why, why did Jiang Jiu get Lu Yunyang's favor, why did Lu Yunyang give up his eight beautiful concubines for her, why was Lu Yunyang willing to bring her into the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Mingyue was unwilling to give in.

The moment the assassin appeared in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Jiang Mingyue pushed Jiang Jiu. If Jiang Jiu died, she planned to divorce Chang Zhili and remarry Lu Yunyang.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu was lucky and not only did he not die, but he was saved by Lu Yunyang.

Could it be that Jiang Jiu really won Lu Yunyang's heart?

Jiang Mingyue was unwilling to accept the situation. When she heard that they were returning from the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she packed up and went to see for herself.

"Jiang Jiu, you are finally back. Is Mr. Lu okay? I asked my mother to bring back a hundred-year-old ginseng from home for Mr. Lu to nourish his body."

I saw Jiang Jiu getting out of the carriage and supporting the sick Lu Yunyang.

The intimacy between the two made Jiang Mingyue's eyes spark with jealousy.

The more Jiang Jiu looked at Jiang Mingyue, the angrier he became. He handed Lu Yunyang to Nanny Qian and gave the gift Jiang Mingyue brought to Xia Zhi.

"Pa" he gave Jiang Mingyue a loud slap with his backhand.

"Jiang Jiu, what are you doing?" Jiang Mingyue was caught off guard and became instantly angry.

After Jiang Jiu finished fighting, he leisurely took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

"What for? You know in your heart that if you hadn't pushed me when the assassin was trying to kill me, I wouldn't have been held hostage by the assassin."

If she had not been held hostage by the assassin, Lu Yunyang would not have been injured and almost died.

"I didn't..." Jiang Mingyue quickly glanced at Lu Yunyang beside her, her eyes filled with tears of grievance, and she refused to admit it.

"When the assassin came, I was also panicked and looked for places to hide. I didn't see anyone at all..."

Xia Zhi glared at her angrily: "Our girl took you to the Dragon Boat Festival with good intentions, but you wanted to kill our girl as soon as the assassin arrived."

"You said you were panicking, but I was holding our girl's hand tightly at that time. The push you gave me almost knocked me down."

Xia Zhi stretched out her wrist. When she was knocked over, her hand was cut. Although it was not serious, it left a scar.

Despite irrefutable evidence, Jiang Mingyue still denied it.

"I really didn't, Xia Zhi, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not..."

No, Xia Zhi is no longer their maid, so she cannot be beaten or scolded at will.

"What do you mean by 'you'? If you dare to bully my girl again, I will slap you in the face." Xia Zhi raised his chin proudly to defend his master.

Jiang Mingyue's face was filled with embarrassment. If they hadn't relied on their close relationship with the Ninth Prince, she would have slapped them back.

"Jiang Jiu, why don't you take care of this unruly girl?"

Jiang Jiu didn't want to get entangled with her, and snorted coldly: "I've seen it, I've seen it, you can go back... Don't come here again..."

Jiang Mingyue has never been one of Jiang Jiu's relatives. It is difficult to change her nature. If she was just competitive, perhaps she could be considered a relative.

But he didn't expect that she had such a vicious mind and would harm her. Jiang Jiu would never have anything to do with her again.

Jiang Mingyue, who was expelled, looked more and more embarrassed.

Why? If Jiang Mingyue didn't know the relationship between Lu Yunyang and the Ninth Prince, perhaps she would just focus on Chang Zhili's studies.

But now, everyone is saying that Lu Yunyang has a close relationship with the Ninth Prince.

In addition, Lu Yunyang will be favored by the princess soon, and Jiang Mingyue wants to use this relationship to give Chang Zhili a shortcut.

"Jiang Jiu, you really misunderstood me. I really don't have any intention of harming you. We are sisters. What good would it do me to kill you?"

"Besides, my father wouldn't agree. Oh, by the way, my mother came to Sucheng the day before yesterday, and so did my father. They asked me to ask you when you'll come to see them..."

Jiang Jiuke really didn't miss him that much. He was just hiding in the Jiang family. Besides, when Jiang Jiu was at his house, they didn't show any kindness to Jiang Jiu.

However, the grace of raising a child is greater than heaven, and filial piety was valued in ancient times. If Jiang Jiu's moral character was criticized, it would be very detrimental to her reputation and future.

Jiang Jiu finally compromised, and like a child throwing a tantrum, he pouted and glared at Jiang Mingyue.

"You're always like this. Every time you can't win an argument, you use your uncle to pressure me..."

After saying that, Jiang Jiu turned around and went straight into the yard in a huff.

Jiang Mingyue knew Jiang Jiu well enough to know that she had compromised again. She smiled dotingly, "It's just like when we were little. You can't stand any loss..."

Following closely behind Jiang Jiu, Jiang Mingyue also entered the yard.

Lu Yunyang saw the resentment on Xia Zhi's face, and heard Nanny Qian mutter, "Who wouldn't suffer a loss? The young lady is living under someone else's roof, so she has suffered enough..."

The group entered the yard. Lu Yunyang was too impatient to entertain Jiang Mingyue, so he went straight back to the inner courtyard room and lay down.

Jiang Jiu asked Jiang Mingyue to go to the outer hall.

"Why did my uncle and aunt suddenly come to Su City?"

Jiang Mingyue heard that they were coming back, so she waited outside for more than an hour and was already tired and thirsty.

She took the tea, took a big gulp, and then resumed her ladylike demeanor.

He pinched a piece of dessert with his little finger and put it in his mouth.

"It's because the prefect wants to increase taxes. You know, although Xiang County is a prosperous place, there are only a few merchants. Last year we suffered a flood, and this year the harvest is just a little better, and yet they want to increase taxes. My father is here to plead for the people."

Putting everything aside, County Magistrate Jiang is indeed a good official.

Jiang Jiu also sat down next to him, took a sip of tea, and got straight to the point.

"Shouldn't it be time for Master Chang to leave the examination hall for this autumn's imperial examination?"

Jiang Mingyue smiled sweetly, knowing that Jiang Jiu was a smart man who never talked nonsense. As soon as she appeared, he knew what she wanted.

"Yes, he's going to take the imperial examination this autumn, but he's been visiting relatives and friends all day, so I don't know if he can pass..."

Jiang Jiu lowered his eyes and didn't respond to her, just waiting for her to finish.

Sure enough, Jiang Mingyue continued, "I heard that Mr. Lu has a good relationship with the prince. Can I get a letter of recommendation from the King of Qi..."

With the recommendation letter from the ninth prince, Chang Zhili's imperial examination was just a formality.
