Before they could even enjoy a proper meal and celebrate, and before they could be happy for long, they heard that Jiang Zhiyun had entered the palace and was lecturing the court officials and the emperor.

Finally, they even brought out... that so-called Lu Shao.

Jiang Zhiwan felt that these words were not human speech.

This is so absurd that no one would dare to imagine it would actually happen.

And that was Jiang Zhiwan's younger sister, Jiang Zhiyun, who still had no reputation...

"Why can she do it? I can too," Jiang Zhiwan said through gritted teeth.

Wei Yu, munching on sunflower seeds, found Jiang Zhiwan's state amusing: "Jiang Zhiwan, you and your sister are actually quite different without realizing it."

"You should know yourself. You should know your usual level."

Jiang Zhiwan: "...I'm better than her, I'll be better than her for the rest of my life!"

"Jiang Zhiyun only seems good on the surface, do you know that? Her current fate is what I gave her. If it weren't for me, she would never have been able to marry Xie Shuheng!"

"Because the person who should have married Xie Shuheng was me."

She was still quite proud when she said this: "Jiang Zhiyun is just like that. From childhood to adulthood, she can only pick up what I don't want."

"What do you think she's capable of? Aside from me letting her have her way, she has nothing."

Jiang Zhiwan clenched her fists, still unwilling even now.

They made different choices, so why is the path they took in their previous life still different from Jiang Zhiyun's?

Even though others had reminded her countless times that it was her problem, Jiang Zhiwan never listened.

She didn't want to listen, nor did she want to believe.

Because Jiang Zhiyun simply can't compare to Jiang Zhiwan.

Looking at her crazed state, Wei Yu sneered, "I knew you weren't normal, but I didn't expect you to be this abnormal."

“You couldn’t even hold onto Xu Ping’an, how can you compare to Jiang Zhiyun? I admire a woman like that. We depend on men for our existence, but she can live a good life even without a man.”

Although Wei Yu disliked Jiang Shi, she sided with Xu Ping'an.

However, Jiang Zhiyun's abilities are indeed beyond doubt.

What young lady would dare to beat the drum of petition, and even devise a plan to have the emperor issue an imperial edict in the middle of the night to avoid being punished with twenty strokes of the cane... She could also overcome so many obstacles and make a scene in the palace at the exact time of court.

Now that things have escalated, I am Xie Shuheng's wife, the wife of your great general. Making this suggestion is a contribution to your court!

If things go wrong, I'll just be a country woman... I don't understand anything, and you scholars are always causing trouble outside, disturbing the daily lives of us ordinary people. Anyway, I've sounded the petition drum, so Your Majesty, you can tell me whether it's right or wrong! Please handle this for me.

If the emperor wanted to punish them, he could use the students and common people behind him as his trump card, so who would dare to touch them?

To dare to take action would be to become an enemy of the students and the people.

This method seems simple, but in reality, only Jiang Zhiyun can do it.

She not only won over the hearts of the people in Bianjing, but also did so in the southwest, northwest, and northeast.

While distributing porridge to people, she also had to publicize her achievements and her husband's suffering.

He sings his own praises every day!

There's no other woman like her.

Wei Yu admired her and wanted to be like her.

But she knew all too well that this was not the path she had always taken.

Wei Yu stood up: "I just want to find a man to protect me. I wouldn't dare compare myself to Jiang Zhiyun."

"If it weren't for physiological needs, I think it would be best for me to bring my family's wealth and follow Jiang Zhiyun in the future."

The current situation in Bianjing is unpredictable.

No one knows whether their choice is right or wrong.

But the only certainty is that you should choose a path and stick to it. Running around blindly without understanding anything will get you rejected by both sides.

When Xu Pingan came in, he saw the two of them chatting enthusiastically.

He casually placed his hand on Wei Yu's shoulder: "Xiao Yu."

"Aren't you good friends with the current Jieyu? How is Wan Jieyu doing lately? Why don't you go and ask her?"

Wei Yu raised an eyebrow: "Of course I have a good relationship with her, but the person Wan Jieyu wants to see right now isn't me."

Then he glanced at Jiang Zhiwan and said, "They might be meeting Sister Jiang Zhiwan."

The reason why Jiang Zhiwan has been kept around is largely because she is Jiang Zhiyun's older sister.

Jiang Zhiwan pointed at herself, her face filled with disbelief: "Me?"

"Is it really me?"

She felt this was her opportunity and she had to seize it. Even before anyone from the palace arrived, she started preparing to wash her face and so on.

Xu Pingan rarely said, "Give her a decent set of clothes."

When Jiang Zhiwan was preparing to enter the palace, she herself was adorned with gold and silver, but her daughter, sitting on the bed beside her, didn't even have a decent pair of trousers; she was dressed entirely in dirty, unwashed clothes.

She cried loudly in front of Jiang Zhiwan.

Jiang Zhiwan didn't even glance at him: "Shut up! Wait until your mother has a good life before you can take her with you."

"Right now, you should just stay home and wait quietly."

Jiang Zhiwan took a few deep breaths. She had been waiting, wanting to go to the palace to see Gu Wanzhi. She knew that Gu Wanzhi did not like Jiang Zhiyun, so perhaps she could join forces with those wealthy and powerful nobles to frame Jiang Zhiyun.

Jiang Zhiwan's lifelong wish was for Jiang Zhiyun to die.

She couldn't understand how someone like Jiang Zhiyun could have everything go so smoothly.

But after waiting for a long time, no one from the palace came to pick them up.

Wei Yu also found it strange: "Strange, didn't Gu Wanzhi say that she would send palace servants to pick you up?"

"Why haven't I seen it yet?"

As she said this, Jiang Zhiwan was already waiting at the door. What exactly happened?

Xu Pingan glanced at him sarcastically: "Who told you to be incompetent?"

Wei Yu shrugged: "Since you're completely useless, no one can help you with this."

Xu Pingan then sent someone to the palace to inquire, only to find out that Jiang Zhiyun had been directly invited in.

Wei Yu also found out.

It turns out that Consort Qing wanted to see Jiang Zhiyun, and didn't want to go through Jiang Zhiwan.

Gu Wanqing clutched the token Xie Shuheng had returned, along with the message he had brought, only to be met with his blunt instruction to get lost…

Haha, that's ridiculous.

roll?

Gu Wanqing had not been humiliated like this in a long time.

Even if that person is Xie Shuheng, how could they do this?

He looks down on everyone, doesn't like Gu Wanzhi, and doesn't want Gu Wanqing either. Could it be that he really fell in love with that so-called village girl at first sight?

Just when she was feeling extremely unwell, Gu Wanzhi said from the side, "Sister, I found out about this from the front courtyard."

"That Jiang Zhiyun really shone in front of all the civil and military officials and the emperor. Not only did she voice the demands of those scholars, but she also rescued Lu Shao and, I heard, even reinstated him to his original position."
