Jiang Wan-yi and Jiang Wan-xian heard these words, Jiang Wan-xian smiled and said to Jiang Wan-yi: "Sister, third sister is back, let's go home first. These days, you've been busy with family matters and worried about someone who doesn't understand things. It's really too hard for you. Sister, you're too kind-hearted, to be honest, why do you think so much for others?"
Jiang Wanmu walked slowly with her head down, passing by the two of them. Jiang Wanyi and Jiang Wanyan's expressions changed slightly, and Jiang Wanyan glanced at Jiang Wanyi, stretching out her hand to pull Jiang Wanmu, but just then Jiang Wanmu suddenly squatted down and picked off the yellow flower leaves that had stuck to her shoe, throwing them aside. Jiang Wanyan used too much force and stumbled forward, and the big maid beside her quickly reached out to grab hold of her.
Jiang Wanxi rushed to Jiang Wanyu, who had just stood up, and said to her, "Don't you want to thank me and your elder sister?" Jiang Wanyu glanced at her and followed her lead, saying, "Thank you." After finishing speaking, she walked past her side and continued forward. Seeing this, Jiang Wanxi felt annoyed in her heart, stretched out her hand and forcefully pulled Jiang Wanyu's arm, tearing off a piece of fabric from Jiang Wanyu's already worn-out clothes.
Jiang Wanmu glanced at the fabric in Jiang Wanyan's hand, looked up to see Jiang Wanyan's face full of disgust, and saw her quickly throw away the fabric and take out a handkerchief to wipe her hands clean. Jiang Wanmu was furious, she didn't say a word, directly pounced on Jiang Wanyan's body, stretched out her hand to untie Jiang Wanyan's clothes, shouting: "You compensate me for my clothes!" Jiang Wanyan was stunned by Jiang Wanmu's behavior, Jiang Wanmu's hands were very fast, and she quickly unbuttoned the collar of Jiang Wanyan's clothes.
The maids around Jiang Wanxi and Jiang Wanyi rushed over, all stretching out their hands to grab Jiang Wanyu. Jiang Wanyu directly pounced on Jiang Wanxi's body, one hand grasping her arm tightly, the other hand continuing to untie her clothes, both feet kicking wildly at the approaching maids, shouting: "Return my clothes! I'll kick you all to death, you people with no sense of propriety!" The passing servants were momentarily stunned, staring at the scene before their eyes.
Jiang Wanxiang reached out to pull Jiang Wanyu's hand off her arm, but Jiang Wanyu was already recklessly pressing down on her, directly pinning her to the ground in the snow. The maids who followed close behind also fell onto the snowy ground. Passersby women rushed over to pull apart those who had fallen, each one advising, "Third Miss, let go." Meanwhile, Jiang Wanyu was loudly shouting, "I'm wearing only one good outfit out, and you want to tear it to shreds? I won't let this drop! Are you going to compensate me or not? If not, take off your clothes and give them to me!"
Jiang Wan Yi felt that in the blink of an eye, everything in front of her had become a mess. She only felt that every time she faced Jiang Wan Yu, she would feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Sometimes she thought Jiang Wan Yu was not stupid at all, but in an instant, Jiang Wan Yu's behavior would make her think that she was indeed foolish. She shouted loudly to the person calling out: "Third sister, don't make a fuss, I'll be back soon and have someone send you two new sets of outer clothes." Jiang Wan Yu heard this and replied loudly: "Good, if not, I'll continue to ask second sister for compensation."
Jiang Wanmu let go of Jiang Wanyan, stretched out her hand to push away the person pressing on her body, and stood up with a proud and arrogant attitude. She lowered her head to adjust her own clothes, and casually tied up her scattered hair. She turned around to look at Jiang Wanyi, her hands clenched tightly, staring until Jiang Wanyi nodded at her and said: "I'll send someone to deliver the clothes to you when I get back." After hearing these clear words, she turned around and walked away without looking back.
Jiang Wanxian, who was left behind, helped the disheveled girl up from the ground. Her hair was a mess and her face had an unintentionally drawn long mark from someone's finger. Her clothes were in disarray and her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Jiang Wanyi with a wronged expression and said: "Sister, let's go tell mother about this and have her punish her severely."
Jiang Wan-yi looked at her, then glanced around at the people who hadn't dispersed, and forced a smile as she said: "Second sister, third sister is an idiot, you can't indulge her temper. Alas, you two are too mischievous, sisters fighting and tumbling to the ground like this, it's not becoming."
She turned her face and smiled at the people around her, saying: "The young master is getting married in two days, everyone should get busy. Today's little mischief between sisters shouldn't be talked about randomly, lest it spoil the mood. I'm warning you all ahead of time, if I hear anything that harms our sisterly relationship, Madame may forgive you, but I won't. Everyone disperse!" The servants heard Jiang Wan's words and immediately walked towards the back door.
As the crowd dispersed, the smile on Jiang Wan's face instantly disappeared. She glared at Jiang Wanyan and said: "When we came, you said it was just to take a look at her shabby appearance. But in the blink of an eye, why did you go and tear her clothes? This matter will be reported to Mother, she is a fool anyway, won't suffer any loss, and Mother's heart is good, so she won't scold her either. The two of us can't escape punishment. You go back and change your clothes, we'll go together to apologize sincerely to Mother."
Jiang Wan-yi finished speaking, pressed her forehead and walked forward. Jiang Wan-xian had an unwilling expression on her face, caught up with her and said: "Sister, can't just let that fool off like this." Jiang Wan-yi heard these words, looked at her deeply, saw the wet water mark on the back of her clothes, and said in a bad tone: "She is illiterate and doesn't understand etiquette, everyone knows she's a fool. After Yu Niang died, she became a wild person with no one to care for her. You followed me to the Imperial Academy, if this matter spreads out today, your marriage will be affected."
Jiang Wanxi's expression changed slightly as she heard this, and she slowed down her pace. She looked at Jiang Wanyi with a hint of discontent. Just as she was about to speak up, the big maid beside her pinched her arm and whispered, "Miss, your aunt said you should be careful what you say, that your marriage will be arranged within these two years, and reputation is important."
Jiang Wanxiang heard Da Yutou's words and thought of her own miserable aunt, who had finally waited for her father to enter the house again and had a child. But Aunt Yu died at that critical moment. As soon as the news of the child's birth spread, everyone secretly said that the child was inauspicious.
Auntie had always been a worrier, and after hearing all the gossip, she felt even more anxious. Last month, she gave birth to a baby boy who lived for only three days before mysteriously stopping breathing. Jiang Wanxian's eyes reddened as she watched Jiang Wanyi walk away, then glanced at the people around her and said, "She's a broom star reincarnated. She was born to cause trouble between the Jiang and Yu families. Auntie Yu didn't even choose a good day to die." As soon as she spoke, the maids were startled, looking around nervously with pale faces, staring at Jiang Wanxian in fright.
The girls have heard many rumors, they all say that there are supernatural things in the world. Moreover, after Yu Niang's death, Jiang Wanru is obviously smarter than before, not as stupid as before. Some people even say that Yu Niang was not buried in the Jiang family, but wanted to borrow the blessings of the Yu family's hundred-year-old business to make Jiang Wanru smarter.
The girls looked at each other, and the eldest girl carefully said to Jiang Yuexian: "Miss, that can't be said or thought. Quickly make a bow in all directions and say you didn't speak rashly." Jiang Yuexian also realized her mistake, but she couldn't lose face, so she stubbornly said: "I won't say it." The eldest girl became anxious, leaned close to her ear and said: "Miss, think about what your aunt privately told you."
Jiang Wanxiang thought of her birth mother's recent words, "Second Miss, a woman's reputation is the most important. You see, although Yu Niang went to speak to various gods on her behalf, making Third Miss intelligent, unfortunately, her stupid reputation has already spread out, and her husband's family will definitely not like her." Jiang Wanxiang suddenly remembered these words, she became somewhat afraid, and hastily bowed in all directions saying: "From now on, I won't speak rashly."
