It was a calm sentence, but it was mixed with a strong threat.

The two quickly knelt down.

"I don't dare!"

"I dare not!"

The emperor finished his tea and slowly stood up, his expression clearly displeased. "Wen Li, you seem quite idle these days. Don't you have anything else to do? Then I'll test your academic performance today!"

"Follow me to the Imperial Study!"

"Yes!" Qin Wenli's heart sank, and Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but worry for him.

The next moment, the Queen said, "Your Majesty, I have selected some wedding dresses, but I don't know what Xiru would like. Could you please let General Jiang stay and help?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Jiang Ningwan, you will stay here and follow the Queen's instructions."

"Yes."

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Wenli looked at each other worriedly.

How could the emperor become so stubborn?

Or does the emperor just love to grant marriages to people?

After seeing the Emperor off, the Empress slowly walked over to the wedding gowns and jewelry, and said quietly, "Jiang Xiru is also your sister, but I don't think you've ever paid any attention to her."

"People can't be so partial."

Jiang Ningwan remained silent. No matter what kind of feelings it was, they were mutual. She knew how Jiang Xiru treated her and how Ling Jinlan treated her.

"Give these to Xiru to choose from. The wedding is coming soon. Choose one by tomorrow and report back to me."

Jiang Ningwan lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

The Queen glanced at her coldly and said, "I am giving you a chance to mend our sisterly relationship. I hope that you, as her elder sister, can help her get married."

"do you understand?"

After all, Jiang Xiru is going to become the Crown Princess, so she has to save face.

Everyone knows that Jiang Ningwan protects Ling Jinlan so much, but she ignores Jiang Xiru. People outside will think that there is something wrong with Jiang Xiru's character.

If she hadn't married Cheng Qian, she wouldn't have cared so much, but since she was going to be Cheng Qian's wife, she had to be impeccable in the eyes of outsiders.

Jiang Ningwan just nodded numbly, "I understand."

The Queen's brows were furious. "I hope you truly understand! Don't forget that Ling Jinlan will have to call me Auntie when the time comes."

"If you don't give Jiang Xiru face, then don't blame me for not giving Ling Jinlan face."

The words were sharp and full of threats.

Jiang Ningwan nodded again, "Don't worry, Queen."

The Queen finally gave up, but she was still angry when she saw Jiang Ningwan, "Go."

Afterwards, the Queen arranged for several palace maids to accompany Jiang Ningwan out of the palace with wedding clothes and jewelry, and go to the Duke of Jiang's Mansion.

Looking at the gate of Duke Jiang's Mansion, Jiang Ningwan felt resistance in her heart and didn't want to set foot here again.

But he glanced at the team behind him.

Jiang Ningwan could only go forward and knock on the door.

The concierge looked surprised when he saw her.

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "I'm here to deliver the wedding dress on the Queen's orders."

"Miss, please come in!" The doorman quickly opened the door.

The Duke had no idea how many times he had sent people to invite the eldest lady, but she had never come back.

Now I'm finally back!

The Duke will definitely be happy if he knows this!

Jiang Ningwan brought people to deliver the things to Jiang Xiru's yard.

Jiang Xiru was a little surprised to learn that it was Jiang Ningwan who had come to deliver the wedding dress, but then she raised the corner of her lips and said, "So it was the Queen's order. I was wondering why Sister would be so shameless as to return to the Duke's Mansion."

Jiang Ningwan said unhappily, "Choose quickly. The Queen only gives you one day."

Jiang Xiru calmly sat down in front of the carved dressing table and said, "I'm not satisfied with the way the maid combed my hair today. How about you comb it for me?"

She deliberately made things difficult and tried to delay the process, making it impossible for Jiang Ningwan to report to the Queen.

Unless Jiang Ningwan bows her head and begs her.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you sure you want me to comb your hair?"

Jiang Xiru said with a provocative smile: "Why? Sister doesn't want to?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to pick out the right wedding dress in that day."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but force a smile, "Okay, that's what you said!"

"I'll comb your hair for you!"

She walked forward, picked up the wooden comb on the table, and began to comb Jiang Xiru's hair.

His movements were rough, he just kept combing, and even when he encountered tangles he would force them down.

Jiang Xiru was so pulled that she pressed her head and screamed in pain: "It hurts, it hurts..."

Jiang Ningwan refused to let go, "It's tangled, just bear with it."

As he said that, he combed her hair down forcefully, causing Jiang Xiru to cry out in pain.

But Jiang Ningwan ignored her and continued to comb her hair. In just a moment, the wooden comb was full of hair.

"Enough!" Jiang Xiru got up and fled in panic, rubbing his aching head and glaring at Jiang Ningwan angrily.

"You did this on purpose! Do you still want to report back?"

Looking at the hair hanging on the wooden comb in Jiang Ningwan's hand, Jiang Xiru felt a pang of heartache.

Jiang Ningwan remained calm and said, "Didn't you insist on me combing your hair?"

"This is my method, you can't stand it."

Jiang Xiru was extremely angry, but unable to refute.

Then he said, "Please help me change my clothes and try on my wedding clothes!"

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Of course, come!"

Jiang Xiru snorted coldly, stood up, walked behind the screen, and took off her coat.

Jiang Ningwan took the heavy wedding dress and helped her put it on. When tying the belt, she reminded her, "Breathe in!"

"Look at how much you've eaten. Your waist is so thick, I can't even tie it!"

Jiang Ningwan complained coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru looked panicked. After the insect entered her body, the pain was too torturous. Every time the pain came over, she would feel weak all over and had to eat a lot of food to recover her strength.

I eat more than before. Have I gained weight?

It seems I can’t eat it anymore.

"Breathe in! Push harder!" Jiang Ningwan ordered coldly.

Jiang Xiru took a deep breath with all her might, and Jiang Ningwan also used all her strength to tighten her belt.

Jiang Xiru was strangled so hard that tears were about to fall.

After tying it, Jiang Ningwan put her coat on and adjusted the long skirt of her wedding dress. "It's done."

But Jiang Xiru's face was already red from holding her breath and she was almost out of breath.

Jiang Ningwan pulled her to the mirror and said, "See if you like this outfit."

Jiang Xiru had no intention of looking at the wedding dress at all. She felt like she was about to suffocate to death. "If you don't like it, change it!"

After changing into the second set, when it came to tying the belt, Jiang Ningwan used all her strength again.

"Why is it getting tighter? Take a breath!" Jiang Ningwan urged.

Jiang Xiru's heart sank. Can't I wear this outfit?

When the belt was tightened again, Jiang Xiru felt like her waist was about to break.

His face was extremely ugly.

"Change again!"

Jiang Ningwan helped her take off her wedding dress while complaining, "When was this wedding dress made? Why is it so small?"

"Look at how much you've eaten. You know you're getting married, but you still eat more!"

"I'm almost as fat as a pig."

Jiang Ningwan complained to herself with a disdainful tone.

Seeing Jiang Xiru's face becoming increasingly ugly and almost crying, she sneered in her heart.

In fact, Jiang Xiru is not fat, and she can wear the belt without any problem.

Want to embarrass her? Then I don't know who is embarrassing whom.

Jiang Xiru said angrily, embarrassed, "Change into another set! Can't you be more efficient?"

Just then, Jiang Bingde appeared outside the door. Jiang Ningwan saw him and said humbly, "Yes! Second Miss Jiang!"
