Jiangzhai.

Palace maids entered the mansion one after another, and various rewards came in an endless stream, dazzling the eyes.

There were many onlookers, and in addition to marveling at this supreme honor, they were mostly discussing Jiang Ningwan's deeds of donating money for disaster relief.

"This glazed jade cup is a gift from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is full of praise for you." Eunuch Hai's face was full of joy.

Jiang Ningwan accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Hai, for thanking the Empress Dowager on my behalf."

"Then I will return to the palace to report." After giving the reward, Eunuch Hai left.

Looking at the rewards all over the yard, everyone was delighted. Li Chun quickly took people to put the things into the warehouse.

Pei Xunzhi held Jiang Ningwan's hand and was happy for her, "I've never seen a girl receive so many rewards. Even the Queen Mother praised you highly!"

"Divorce is possible!"

She felt happy when she thought that she would soon be able to get rid of the Qin family, that heartless family.

Jiang Ningwan said, "It's the end of the year, and everyone is very busy. I want to wait until the spring to bring it up."

"I guess you already have an idea. I hope everything goes well! Come to my house for dinner tonight. My dad has been saying that he wants to thank you properly."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

Just as the two of them were about to go out arm in arm, they saw a familiar carriage stopped in front of the gate.

Qin Jianjian helped Princess Yi get off the carriage and walked slowly towards him.

Seeing the person coming, Pei Xunzhi's face suddenly darkened, "He must have heard the news and is here to ask for a reward."

Princess Yi walked to the gate and glanced into the courtyard first. Seeing the rewards that had not yet been moved, a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes.

"Ningwan, I heard that you have made a contribution. Congratulations." Princess Yi raised a kind smile on her face.

Qin Jianjian immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, the emperor has given us a lot of rewards, and we should have a share of these rewards."

"Although you've moved into the Jiang residence, you're still a member of our Qin family. It's fine if you don't let us move in, but you can't just take the reward for yourself, right?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Yi feigned kindness and advised, "How can you say such harsh words? We are a family, and Ning Wan will naturally not separate us so clearly."

Qin Jianjian smiled and said, "If that's the case, then these rewards should be moved back to the General's Mansion."

The two of them sang in unison, and their purpose was very obvious.

Pei Xunzhi saw the two men's expressions and was filled with disgust.

"Only those who have made contributions will be rewarded. What does this have to do with you? If you had a share of this reward, the emperor would not have sent it to the Jiang residence." Jiang Ningwan pointed out coldly without any concealment.

"Ning Wan, do you have to be so cruel? We are a family." Princess Yi looked a little embarrassed.

I thought that with so many onlookers outside, Jiang Ningwan would at least consider her dignity.

But I didn't expect Jiang Ningwan to be even more excessive.

"When you were rewarded, you were so eager to draw a line between you and me, but when I was rewarded, you insisted on taking half. What's the logic behind this?"

"You can't be too shameless."

The word "shameless" instantly made Princess Yi blush.

Call her shameless in front of outsiders?

"I am your mother-in-law after all! Is this how you talk to me?" Princess Yi was a little exasperated. She held her forehead and her body was unstable.

Qin Jianjian's eyes rolled, and he supported Princess Yi and exclaimed, "Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Yi fell to the ground.

Qin gradually panicked and burst into tears, attracting more people to watch.

"Jiang Ningwan, you actually made your mother faint from anger. Do you still have a conscience? You are so unfilial!"

She just didn't believe that Jiang Ningwan could just sit back and watch after such a commotion. They stayed in the Jiang residence for a while and would not leave until they were rewarded!

Looking at the shameless appearance of the two, Pei Xunzhi was so angry that he wanted to take action.

Jiang Ningwan held her back, secretly stuffed a pill into her mouth, then pressed her chest, staggered two steps, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Pei Xunzhi was horrified, "Sister Wan! What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ningwan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, quietly squeezed her hand, and said weakly, "It must be the remaining poison from the blood-draining grass."

Pei Xunzhi quickly got the hint and pointed at Qin Jianjian and Princess Yi and shouted angrily, "Have you brought the Blood-Cleansing Grass again? What are you planning?"

This scene frightened both Princess Yi and Qin Jian.

Princess Yi quickly got up from the ground and looked at the onlookers pointing and talking at her. She panicked and said, "It's none of my business. I didn't do anything!"

No one listened to her explanation.

"This evil mother-in-law is so vicious and blatantly harms people!"

"Miss Jiang is a kind person, how could she allow you to bully her like this!"

The curses followed one after another.

Princess Yi felt so ashamed that her face turned red as if it was almost cooked. She hurriedly pulled Qin Jianjian into the carriage and left.

The annoying mother and daughter finally left, and Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi also went to Wu Bohou Mansion happily.

The two sat in the warm room drinking tea and chatting.

Pei Xunzhi ate some melon seeds and asked with concern, "Why did you suddenly vomit blood?"

Jiang Ningwan took out the pill and said, "It's not blood. When you bite it, it's the medicine juice. It's just red like blood."

"You really have a way!"

"To deal with such a shameless person, I have to use some tricks. I feel a little sorry for dragging you into this drama just now."

Pei Xunzhi slammed the table and said, "Don't you dare say that again? I was so angry at that time. Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise I would have hit you."

Pei Xunzhi seemed to know all the unfair things she had suffered, and even told her parents.

As a result, during the evening meal, both Marquis Wu and his wife took great care of her.

Marquis Wu Bo repeatedly mentioned, "You have such a good temper that you are being bullied. There's nothing wrong with a girl being a little fierce. If you are wronged again, ask your father to support you, or ask me! If you are willing, the Marquis Wu Mansion will be half your home!"

"Your father is very proud of your achievement. He praises you for being sensible since childhood."

"Thank you for your concern, uncle." Jiang Ningwan smiled, but she didn't agree in her heart. Her father was happy because he had face, because he had said before that she lacked discipline since childhood.

"Don't be polite, come and eat!"

The atmosphere in Wu Bohou's Mansion was harmonious, without any rules or restrictions, just like in the Ling family before.

Seeing them having so much fun, Jiang Ningwan felt happy and envious.

Pei Xunzhi secretly observed Jiang Ningwan's expression, as if thinking about something.

In the next few days, Jiang Ningwan was dragged by Pei Xunzhi to attend many banquets hosted by noble ladies in Kyoto.

Very lively.

Unfortunately, Lu Qingheng and Qin Jianzi also came that day.

The originally cheerful banquet suddenly fell silent. Someone complained, "Who invited them?"

Someone immediately stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you guys any longer. Let's get together another day."

"I have something to do too. I'll leave first."

Pei Xunzhi also pulled Jiang Ningwan up, and the two of them talked to themselves and left.

It would have been fine if other people didn't like her, but even her former good friend Pei Xunzhi didn't like her. Lu Qingheng quickly stepped forward and stopped them.

"Jiang Ningwan, I'm sorry about the blood-draining grass. You can punish me however you want to vent your anger, but can you please not take away my only friend?"
