The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

The matter of Shen Qingge was the talk of the town in the capital.

For some reason, the person behind the scenes seems to have put in a lot of effort, claiming that the Grand Master once predicted that Shen Qingge would bring misfortune. Now that Shen Qingge has returned, not only has she implicated Liu Miaomiao, who has been possessed by an evil spirit, but she has also caused many disasters in the fiefdom.

The people's curses rose and fell, and Jiang Xianyue heard them every time she went out.

They set off tonight and traveled through the night. Since it was broad daylight, it was inconvenient for Jiang Xianyue to go with them. After packing her things, Jiang Xianyue saw Qin Yu at the gate of the courtyard.

She took over the things her mother left behind, and Qin Yu complained about them every day.

Because Jiang Xian Yue's youngest daughter would be a prince's consort, Qin Yu, upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, dared not offend Jiang Xian Yue for the time being.

Jiang Xianyue went out and happened to see Qin Yu.

"Aunt Qin, what are you doing outside my courtyard?"

Jiang Xianyue's voice was soft, and her expression turned ugly for a moment after she was discovered.

"what can I do?"

Aunt Qin obediently hid what she was holding and said nervously, "Of course, of course I didn't do anything. I just came to check on things because I'm used to walking around here."

"Xian Yue, your younger brother is back today, aren't you going to see him?"

Besides giving birth to Jiang Ruyan, Aunt Qin also had a son, who was Jiang Ruyan's younger brother. He was young when he was chosen by General Lu Qing to serve in the army, and he seemed to be very promising.

He excels in martial arts, unlike his father who is incompetent at everything. Jiang Xianyue had also heard a little about Jiang Minglang's affairs.

“Alang is back. As the older sister, aren’t you going to do something to show your support?”

Xian Yue, look, ever since you came back, you've taken all of the First Madam's things, and now..."

Qin Yu was having a hard time, so he spoke to Jiang Xian Yue.

At this moment, a man strode over. His hair was tied up high, and he looked very spirited. Jiang Xianyue recognized him at a glance. He was her younger brother, Jiang Minglang, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Jiang Minglang was not a sensible child when he was young. Jiang Yu only had this one son, so he was spoiled from a young age and had a headstrong personality. Seeing Qin Shi trying to please him, he quickly came over.

"You're bullying my mother again."

It seems that Madam Qin has already tearfully told Jiang Minglang about Jiang Xianyue, but Jiang Xianyue doesn't care about any of it.

"Ah Lang, this is your elder sister. You should call her elder sister."

Qin held Jiang Minglang's hands.

She also tried to ingratiate herself, saying, "Xian Yue, A Lang has always been in the army. People who practice martial arts are bound to be impulsive. Don't rush in recklessly, or you might get hurt by him."

Qin's implication was that if Jiang Minglang made a move, it would be Jiang Xianyue's fault for acting recklessly and impulsively.

How could Jiang Xianyue not understand?

Jiang Xianyue lazily raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

Jiang Minglang had been in the army all along, and now he was indeed tall and strong, with skin much darker than the young masters in the capital.

Jiang Minglang and Jiang Xianyue stared at each other for a while, his tone still condescending.

"Jiang Xianyue, you're just a country girl. You dare to bully my mother after you come back. Do you even deserve to be called 'elder sister' by me!"

Jiang Xianyue looked at Jiang Minglang quietly, her gaze darkening.

Then Jiang Xian Yue calmly raised her head and said to him in a low voice, "You are not worthy to call me elder sister. You should call me elder sister. After all, what kind of ability can a son born out of wedlock have?"

As soon as Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, Jiang Minglang was indeed provoked.

It seems that Jiang Xian Yue has been away from the capital for a long time, and he has probably forgotten his former status as an illegitimate child.

In addition, Jiang Xianyue had heard of Jiang Minglang's reputation; he was indeed quite capable, and General Lu also thought highly of him. However, none of this was a reason for Jiang Minglang to be rude to her.

"Jiang Xianyue, I think you just want to die."

Jiang Minglang charged toward Jiang Xianyue. Jiang Minglang didn't even need to lift a finger; he could make Jiang Xianyue beg for mercy for days.

Coincidentally, Jiang Minglang returned after earning military merit.

Jiang Xian Yue merely glanced at him indifferently. Jiang Ming Lang's complexion was not good, and his forehead was dark. He was likely to suffer a bloody disaster soon. The army was already rife with killing, and he was also so irritable.

Some things are just Jiang Xianyue's habits.

"Jiang Minglang, you must learn to hold your breath and calm down in the future. Don't get angry easily, and don't let others use you as a pawn. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble sooner or later."

Jiang Xianyue spoke calmly, as if she were talking to an ordinary person about physiognomy.

Her fortune-telling is always accurate.

If it's at Wanggushan, you'll have to pay extra.

After Jiang Xianyue's gaze swept over him calmly, Jiang Minglang became even angrier and slapped Jiang Xianyue across the face.

She was the older sister, after all, and she never expected Jiang Minglang to actually make a move. She grabbed Jiang Minglang's wrist.

"I've already warned you."

"You think I'd believe your nonsense? You can't even fool ignorant women and children with your few words, let alone me. Today I'm going to let things slide. If I get angry, is it you who can't handle the consequences, or me?"

"Of course it's you."

Jiang Xianyue spoke calmly, then reached out and snapped Jiang Minglang's arm with a sharp crack. The force was astonishing, and the movement was swift, precise, and ruthless.

Jiang Minglang hadn't felt any pain yet, but his arm had already gone numb.

The only sound at the scene was Qin Yu's screams.

How could she have imagined that her beloved son, who had just returned home, would have his arm dislocated? Now, anger was no longer enough to express her feelings.

"Help! Help! Murder!"

The reason Qin Yu dotes on Jiang Ruyan is because Jiang Ruyan is her precious child, and Jiang Minglang is Qin Yu's glory. How could Qin Yu allow Jiang Xianyue to harm her precious son?

However, Jiang Xianyue didn't care about this matter at all.

After being released, Jiang Minglang was slow to realize the pain and screamed in alarm.

"Jiang Xianyue, what did you do to me? How dare you hurt my arm? You're dead."

His voice was incredibly shrill.

Jiang Xianyue crossed her arms.

"You're the one who was disrespectful and tried to hit me, and now you dare to accuse me first. I think you've really been spoiled."

The royal physician arrived, and the group left in a hurry. Only then did Jiang Xianyue bend down and discover that Qin Yu had buried something at the entrance of the courtyard.

This cursed gadget, this little formation she looked down on when she was a teenager—it seems Qin Yu really underestimated her.

Jiang Xianyue stopped thinking about it and with a small movement, she changed the formation, causing it to backfire.

Whatever Qin Yu's demands are, everyone will soon find out.

Watching the mother and son leave, Jiang Xianyue merely curled the corners of her lips. She was leaving, and naturally wouldn't bother Jiang Minglang with nothing better to do.

But after Jiang Minglang came over today, Jiang Xuanyue thought of a good way to use Jiang Minglang to leave legitimately.

It's so nice to have someone hand you a pillow when you're sleepy.
