The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Yan Chuan returned from court, took off his imperial cloak, and casually hung it on the shelf in the room.

He picked up a cup of warm tea and took a sip. Before he put down the cup, he saw a servant running in in a panic, his face full of anxiety.

"Master, master! Something bad has happened!" The servant was panting, with beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had run all the way here.

"What's all the fuss about?"

The servant took a few breaths, trying to calm his breathing, and said in a hurried and panicked voice: "Someone is selling it over there in the east, selling yours..." He spoke in a hurry and started panting again before he finished speaking, gasping for breath.

"Selling my paintings? When I was a playboy in the capital, people already sold my portraits. I'm used to it."

"No, Master!" The servant stamped his feet anxiously, swallowing his saliva, his voice filled with uneasiness. "The man in the east of the city wasn't selling paintings, he was selling shadow stones! Shadow stones depicting you! Although most of the shadow stones depict ordinary scenes of your past training, a woman sold a shadow stone depicting you practicing swordsmanship with your upper body naked, and it caused quite a stir!"

With a "pop", the teacup in Yan Chuan's hand was instantly crushed and the tea splashed all over the floor.

There was still a smile on his face, but that smile did not reach his eyes, instead, there was a cold chill in his eyes.

"The wedding is coming up soon, and nothing can go wrong. Go buy the Shadow Stone back. Money is not a problem."

"Yes……"

On the other side, at the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Jiang Yingxue slept until noon before waking up.

She stretched, her long black hair cascading down the pillow like a waterfall, making her skin look even whiter and more jade-like. Even just waking up, she exuded a lazy and noble beauty.

Jiang Yingxue sat up slowly and was about to call the maid to come in to wash up when suddenly the door was pushed open and Cuiyu rushed in in a panic.

"Miss, Miss! It's bad! A corpse came to the door and asked to see you!"

"Ah?" Jiang Yingxue frowned: "Are you speaking human language?"

Cui Yu quickly waved her hands, took a few breaths, and tried to calm her breathing. "No, I mean, there was a person, no, there was a half-dead person who said she wanted to come to see you. Really, she was pale, with two dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept or eaten for several days. I wanted to send her away, but she showed the Xianyun Sect's sign again, saying that she was... the leader of the Xianyun Sect? She also said that she had seen me..."

Cuiyu shuddered as she spoke: "Why don't I remember seeing her before?"

"Ah...you have indeed seen her. She is my good sister."

"Which one?"

"Chu Ying."

It seems that Chu Ying has been tortured terribly since she became the temporary sect leader.

Jiang Yingxue raised her eyebrows: "Bring her in, change her clothes, and take her to my beauty salon. I'll be waiting for her there."

The beauty salon was a rather luxurious courtyard she had set up in her mansion. The courtyard was filled with birdsong, flowers, rockery, and flowing water, creating a pleasant scenery. The room was luxuriously furnished, and the faint scent of sandalwood burning in the incense burner gave it a peaceful and comfortable feeling.

The maid knocked on the door: "Miss, I brought Miss Chu here."

When I opened the door, I saw Chu Ying wearing a thin blue dress, with an embarrassed blush on her face.

When she saw Jiang Yingxue, she was very excited and wanted to open her arms and give her a loving hug. But after taking a look at her green clothes that were about to fall off, she decided to cover herself.

Jiang Yingxue lay on the beauty bed: "How is it, Sect Master Chu? Staying in Xianyun Sect and working for Xianyun Sect, it's tough, right?"

Chu Ying chuckled twice, looking extremely tired, with a haggard look between her brows. Her cheeks were slightly thinner, and the dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible, as if she had experienced countless sleepless nights.

"Cough! Too bad!" He wanted to pour out all the bitterness of the past two months: "Look at my face! I've been busy running around for the Xianyun Sect all day long. I've aged ten years!!! I shouldn't have agreed to Master... That jerk, jerk!!"

"It's okay, come over and get a beauty treatment and put on a facial mask." Jiang Yingxue pointed to the bed next to Chu Ying: "Lie down there."

Chu Ying was quite new to these things, with a hint of doubt and curiosity flashing in her eyes: "What is this?"

Jiang Yingxue waved her hand lazily, her voice casual, "Don't worry about it, just sleep and enjoy it."

Although Chu Ying didn't understand why, she always believed in Jiang Yingxue's words.

She lay down as she was told. The soft mattress seemed to envelop her, relaxing her tense nerves a little. Then, a group of maids tiptoed in, their movements skillful and gentle.

A maid stood behind Chu Ying, her slender fingers gently pinching her shoulders with just the right amount of strength, as if to crush her fatigue bit by bit.

Another maid sat at the end of the bed, holding her ankles with both hands, and gently massaging her legs to relieve her long-term fatigue.

There was also a maid standing by, holding a small jade bowl in her hand. The bowl was filled with fine pearl powder and fresh rose petals. She was grinding them gently with a jade pestle, making a slight rustling sound.

"Come on, Miss Chu, put on a facial mask first."

"Facial mask?"

Chu Ying's eyes were filled with surprise, and then she saw the maid put a piece of cold cloth on her face.

"It's quite comfortable, but..." Chu Ying's voice came through the mask, a bit puzzled, "Yingxue, what the hell is this?"

"It's a facial mask. The essence in it is mixed with South China Sea pearl powder, which has beauty and skin care effects."

"Alright then? I'll apply it for a while longer. You have no idea how exhausted I've been since I became the temporary sect leader!"

When Luo Wei massacred the sect, most of the disciples were killed.

The sect leader and the masters of the five major peaks were all seriously injured, and they decided to retire and hand over the position of sect leader to their disciples.

Jiang Yingxue was the first one to say she would quit. Now that the world had been saved and the story was over, she must go back and retire.

When Yan Chuan heard that Jiang Yingxue was going back, he followed her back to Yun Country and found a job.

Duan Ningning was deeply shocked and decided to return to the Duan family to live a stable life after He Qingfeng's death. She had no attachment to Xianyun Sect at all.

Therefore, the burden of revitalizing the sect fell on these disciples, who took turns to take on the responsibility.

And today happens to be Chu Ying’s last day as the temporary sect leader.

"Luckily, today is the last day. Yizhi can help me with the work first." Chu Ying complained, "I don't want to be in the next round. I can't sit in this position of leader for another day!"

A tingling sensation came from her shoulders, and Chu Ying shouted "It's so good", which made her more determined.

"If you can't do it, then don't do it. I can support you." Jiang Yingxue looked at Chu Ying: "The door of our mansion is always open to you."
