's pleading eyes.He almost couldn't help but change his words and say he wanted to come back to sleep.But he could already feel his desire getting out of control, wanting to pounce on this little vixe...If this were ordinary times, no one would dare to speak to Jiang Ye in such a manner. Even if someone dared to, Jiang Chuang wouldn't take it to heart.
Her demeanor was obviously different from the others. From the moment she stepped out of her carriage, a smile had never left her lips.
Jin Ma's heart was filled with suspicion and doubt, constantly guessing.
Could it be that Lord Jiang has taken a liking to this little wretch
But she was the stumbling block that her master's husband had pointed out to be removed. The master having this kind of thought, if it were known to his husband, I fear it would displease him.
Jin Mama completely stood on Jiang Chuang's side, thinking for him. Although she was nominally the person who was betrothed to the emperor, when she was banished from the palace, it was only because of Emperor Jiang's one sentence that she still existed in this world.
Lord Jiang had saved her life and given her a new start. She held him as her master, the only one she truly recognized.
Jiang Chuang waited for a long time but didn't see Jin Ma come forward to apologize. He turned his head, his eyes filled with displeasure as he looked over, his gaze cold and with a hint of impatience.
Gold Mother trembled all over, hesitated for a moment before she spoke her mind.
Though harsh words are hard to hear, she speaks them out of genuine concern for you. I believe Master Jiang will understand.
"Master, this old slave can go apologize to Mr. Wu, but you absolutely cannot drink this wine."
Golden Mama stared at Jiang Chuang with nervous eyes. Some things didn't need to be said explicitly, and Jiang Chuang naturally understood the meaning behind Golden Mama's words.
Everyone in the capital says that Jiang Chuang is nothing more than a dog by Yuan Xiangye's side, indicating who bites whom. No matter how ferocious he is outside, when he faces Yuan Xiangye, he is more obedient than a turtle son.
Thinking of these rumors, Jiang Chuang's mouth curled up into a barely perceptible sneer.
He wanted to do whatever he pleased, and no one could ever stop him. Yuan Buyu's happiness or unhappiness had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Zhuang raised an eyebrow and decisively refused Mama Jin, then beckoned to the attendant who was with him.
"Tell them, Madam Jin is getting old and her body is a bit tired. When she has finished apologizing to Master Wu, send her back home."
“From today onwards, Mama Jin will pack her things and go to the countryside villa to help me take care of the estate. The air there is good and it'll be good for her health.”
Hearing this, Jin Mama's eyes almost bulged out in disbelief.
She had devoted herself wholeheartedly to serving Lord Jiang for so many years, and he actually wanted to send her to the countryside because of this Fang woman
Of course, Jin Mama refused, almost forgetting her place as she grabbed Jiang Ye's sleeve.
"Master Jiang, why are you driving me away"
"I've served you for so many years, and I'm the only one who knows your eating and living habits best. I really can't bear to entrust your care to someone else."
Besides, she didn't commit any major offenses, so why was she sent to the farm
To tend to one's estate in the countryside for health is a pleasant notion, but actually the life on an estate is worse than that of even ordinary people living in the city.
She was an old woman, and on the farm she had no relatives or descendants. Who would listen to her
Still being bullied by local snakes!
Jin Ma had made up her mind not to go, clutching Jiang Chuang's sleeve tightly and refusing to let go.
Jiang Chuang's temperament has never matched his appearance. He looks like a teacher, gentle and elegant, but in reality, he is a decisive and ruthless person with little compassion for others.
Jin Ma's tricks won't work on Jiang Chuan at all.
His smile gradually became sinister, and the longer you gazed into his eyes, the colder your spine felt, a creeping fear taking hold of your heart.
"Mom, is there anything you're not satisfied with regarding my arrangements"
If you don't go to Zhuangzi, do you want to go to Jinglao
Upon hearing the two words "silent cell," Mama Jin's face paled dramatically, and her whole body trembled even more violently than before, like chaff in a sieve.
Fang Jinshi stood to the side watching the play with great interest. Seeing Mama Jin's reaction, she felt a sliver of curiosity towards that quiet cell.
What kind of place could make her tremble just from hearing its name
Jiang Ye's methods were far more ruthless than she had imagined, even against his own people.
However, Fang Jinshu didn't feel pity for Jin Mama. She had lived so long, yet she didn't even know why she was abandoned and sent to the village by her master. A person like that, even with loyalty, was not very useful.
She even suspected that Jiang Chuang had deliberately used her name today to send off Jin Mama in a legitimate way. Looking at his expression, it wasn't impossible.
No matter how much Golden Mother cried, begged, or shouted, she couldn't shake Jiang Chuang's decision. Since she refused to apologize, Jiang Chuang's servants forcefully dragged her before Wu Niang and made her kneel down and kowtow twice as a way of forcing an apology.
Although Gold Mama was domineering and cruel, seeing her now crying with tears streaming down her face, being forcibly pushed to kneel, made everyone feel a chill run down their spines. Inwardly, they felt a tinge of sympathy for her.
This Jiang Chuang is indeed as ruthless as the rumors say. He treats his elderly mother, who has served him for so many years, with such indifference. He just dismisses her and humiliates her in front of everyone. It's truly terrifying.
Many commoners felt discouraged and no longer dared to stay in place to watch Jiang Chuang's performance, fearing that if he was ever unhappy, he would take revenge on them.
It's not like this hasn't happened before.
Wu Niang was also a bit afraid. She hadn't expected this Jiang Ye to be so frightening. Fang Nüzi was just a woman, could she really stand up to him
Won't she be taken advantage of later
Under normal circumstances, Auntie Wu would definitely remember the princess's teachings and never recklessly cause trouble.
As a small nation on the northern frontier, they were vulnerable. The capital of Da Xi was full of officials; one careless word could offend a high-ranking official.
The northern border couldn't afford to incur the wrath of Daxixi, even a speck of it.
But just leaving things alone like this, Wu Ma's heart couldn't bear it.
Because of Fang Jinshi's brave act just now, Wu Niang hesitated for only a moment before quietly turning around to let the porter leave through the back door. She hurried to send a message to Jinshui Mountain Villa.
Have a few more people from the Zong family come and take Madam back later. Who knows what kind of thing this Jiang Ye might do later.
What if he gets drunk and won't let Fang's wife leave
If there are any consequences, she could just go to the princess and apologize. If things escalate and someone needs to take responsibility, she'll be the one to do it.
No matter how Jin Ma struggled, she was ultimately dragged into the carriage and forcibly sent away. After dealing with this, Jiang Chuang turned back to Fang Jinshu, the cold and sinister aura on his face had long since vanished, replaced by the previous elegant smile.
As if he hadn't just dealt with his loyal servant of many years in such a thunderous manner.
"Please forgive me, Madam Fang. My servant was out of line."
"I wonder if Madam Fang and Mr. Wu are satisfied with my apology just now"
Such a terrifying and ruthless person, even his smile sent shivers down your spine.
Fang Jinshi narrowed her eyes, a formulaic, faint smile playing on her lips.
"I wouldn't say I'm satisfied or dissatisfied. Since Mom Kim has already apologized, we accept her apology."
This matter can be dismissed.
Jiang Chuang, following closely behind, asked, "May I have the honor of sharing a drink with the lady"
Fang Jinxiu didn't answer at first. Jiang Chuang was deep-minded, his temper was unpredictable, and most importantly, he had a lot of people around him, and the capital was his territory.
If she immediately refused, who knows what kind of trouble it might bring her.
Isn't it just a meal and drinks, she wouldn't possibly be afraid of him.
Okay, I'll drink with you.
Jiang Chuang seemed to see through her many worries, lowering his head and letting out a soft chuckle.
"Don't worry, Madam Fang. Jiang wouldn't eat you."
"If you're afraid, I'll take a private room in this tavern of yours. We can drink on your turf, so you can rest assured" a few short sentences, she dismissed him.Zongyu sat beside her, "Don't worry, no matter what danger there is at the auction, I will protect you."Upon returning, Fang Jinshi told Zong Yu about this, a...
