Combining kindness and severity, giving a slap in the face and a date as a reward, these are all Jiang Wei's usual methods...

After staying for another half an hour, Jiang Menggui left with the pearl hairpin, feeling unsatisfied.

"Mother, you're being a bit too affectionate with her." After holding it in for a long time, Jiang Ronggui finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke softly, "From childhood, she's always claimed to be Mother's good child. She can't wait to tell everyone that she, like the rest of us, came from Mother's womb. If this continues, I'm afraid she'll lose her sense of responsibility and really think she's the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family."

"Silly girl, don't worry about anything right now. Take good care of the baby and don't overthink it. Mother has plans. Besides, Mother wants Jiang Menggui to feel favored. Not only can she treat her as a legitimate child, but she also wants her to feel that as genuinely as possible!" Jiang Wei sneered, her expression sinister. "Otherwise, you will have to do everything yourselves. Sooner or later, you will be infamous. It would be better to find someone to take the blame for everything. After all, there will always be a scapegoat. You must remember that the best way to raise a concubine's child is to flatter him or her to death!"

The so-called flattery means that one thought is in the sky and the other is in the ground. The higher you praise, the greater the disaster you will cause, and the more painful it will be when you fall to the ground.

This is what Jiang Weishi really wants to achieve. She needs someone to clear the obstacles for her daughters, but no one can block the way for her two daughters, nor can anyone go past them.

Jiang Ronggui nodded, understanding Jiang Weishi's intention. He smiled shyly, but with a hint of worry: "Mother, this fifth sister is easy to deal with; but the second sister from the eldest wife is very smart and clever, I'm afraid she will be difficult to deal with..."

Jiang Wei raised her eyelids slightly and snorted coldly, "That little bitch Jiang Fugui is a tough nut to crack, but... she'll make a mistake soon. Are you afraid we won't have a chance to give her a good beating then?"

Jiang Ronggui and Jiang Fugui looked at each other and understood that their mother must have made proper arrangements.

The afternoon passed in a flash, and Shan Ying, who had been out for several hours, did not return until just before dinner, bringing back some not-so-good news.

"Miss, the Mu family is about to return to Yuncheng. They'll depart tomorrow afternoon. As soon as the boat that's coming to pick them up docks, they'll board and leave."

Jiang Fugui sat at the table, his handsome eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he was thinking about something while tapping his fingers lightly on the table top.

If we delay any longer, I’m afraid... it will be too late!

If that time comes, there will be no way to save the situation!

"By water? Have you found out why they're in such a hurry?" Jiang Fugui's fingers, which had been tapping lightly, suddenly increased their pressure, a hint of anxiety in his voice. "Did you still not see the master of the Mu family today?"

"Young lady, your guess is correct. I went there three or four times, but never managed to see the master of the Mu family at the Qingzhou Inn. Not only did I not see him, but the last time I was even chased out of the inn and onto the street by a few rude women. They all thought we were deliberately trying to curry favor with the Mu family and repay their kindness. What a traitor! How contemptuous!"

Shan Ying spoke with a grunt, his little face flushed red, showing that he was very angry.

"Think about it, the Mu family is just the richest family in Yuncheng, while our Jiang family is the richest family in the world. Who will cling to whom? It's still unclear!"
