Chapter 121 No More Father-Daughter Relationship
"Brother spends the whole day with her, comforting her. He doesn't care about anything in the mansion. He's not even as good as housekeeper Jiang Ningwan."
Qin Jianjian kept thinking, if only Lu Qingheng hadn't come in.
The days that she used to think were ordinary are now no longer visible to her even in her dreams.
Princess Yi looked at General Ling Wei's mansion with envy and jealousy. She wished she could live there.
If I had known earlier, I would have been nicer to Jiang Ningwan.
"Don't mention your sister-in-law Qingheng. Has she ever done anything useful for our family?" Princess Yi said with disdain.
"You're already dragging down your brother's career, and you won't get any reward for your meritorious service this time."
Hearing this, Qin frowned and immediately understood what Princess Yi meant.
……
As lively as General Ling Wei's residence is, the Qin family is as deserted.
"Cough cough cough..."
After returning from Huaifeng, Lu Qingheng was ill for several days, looking haggard and weak.
I was just about to ask the maid to bring me a glass of water.
But he heard a faint sharp curse coming from outside: "Evil spirit!"
"If she hadn't insisted on marrying my brother, our family wouldn't have become like this."
"Now my brother is also being scolded outside."
Lu Qingheng's mind buzzed.
Are you talking about her?
She clenched the quilt tightly with her fingers, and hatred filled her red eyes.
"You haven't seen how bustling General Ling Wei's mansion is right now. The Queen Mother's gifts are practically overwhelming the door. Jiang Ningwan is the center of attention right now."
"If she hadn't forced Jiang Ningwan away, our family would be so prosperous now!"
Lu Qingheng's head buzzed instantly, and he clenched his teeth, biting out a trace of blood.
Why!
She had never received such treatment in the past, and the Queen Mother had never given her any rewards!
Why does Jiang Ningwan get so much!
She is not reconciled!
He was so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The bedding was stained red.
……
After several days of emergency repairs, the Ling family's ancestral home was barely restored to its original state.
But those traces of damage are difficult to erase.
Jiang Ningwan didn't want the tablet of the Ling family's ancestor to remain in the Lu family, so she moved it back first.
Qin Wenli came specially to help, "Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, this ancestral home would not be saved."
The two of them moved the tablet back to its original place and lit incense.
Jiang Ningwan then handed the ancestral home deed to Qin Wenli, "I'll leave this in your safekeeping."
Qin Wenli didn't take it, "I can't help you much in returning to the ancestral home, so you can take it."
"I will send people to guard this place, and it will never be demolished again."
Jiang Ningwan nodded.
When the two finished their work and were about to leave, the carriage of the Duke's Mansion arrived outside the gate.
"Your father is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Bingde got off the carriage, greeted Qin Wenli, and looked at Jiang Ningwan, "Your aunt specially prepared a table of wine and food to celebrate for you."
"You've declined many times, you can't refuse again today."
Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned slightly cold, as the accounts regarding the Ling family's ancestral home had not yet been settled.
"it is good."
Jiang Ningwan followed him back to the Duke's Mansion, which was bustling with activity.
Everyone greeted her with a smile, and Qi was especially enthusiastic. After the food was served, she kept picking up food for her.
"Ning Wan has brought honor to the Duke's Mansion this time. You are the second female general of the Daning Kingdom. I heard that even the Queen Mother praised you highly."
Speaking of this, Jiang Bingde was in a very good mood. Recently, all his colleagues in the court were envious of him and praised him for raising a good daughter who was as capable as any man.
Jiang Xiru, who was sitting at the table, also envied her, "I really envy you, sister. It's a pity that I'm weak and can't be like you, sister, and bring honor to the Jiang family."
"But my sister is the person I admire most in my heart!"
"Let me toast you with tea instead of wine." Jiang Xiru poured a cup of tea and stood up to toast.
Jiang Ningwan had a blank expression on her face, but she accidentally noticed the sachet hanging around Jiang Xiru's waist.
His face suddenly changed slightly.
How come she also has the sachet made by Aunt Yang of Huaifeng?
When I smelled it carefully, I found that the aroma of the food was indeed mixed with a familiar floral scent.
It's the smell of the blue sky flower.
This is the sachet made by Aunt Yang!
Jiang Xiru...been to Huaifeng?
Seeing that Jiang Ningwan didn't move for a long time, Jiang Bingde looked serious and coughed twice to remind her.
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Ningwan still had no expression on his face, "I don't want to drink."
As she spoke, she picked up the bowl and started eating, ignoring Jiang Xiru who was standing there toasting her.
Jiang Xiru was suddenly embarrassed and at a loss.
Jiang Bingde became furious upon seeing this. He snatched the bowl from Jiang Ningwan's hand and threw it to the ground.
"The people sitting at the table are your family, not your enemies! Who are you showing your displeasure to? What did your sister do to upset you again?"
The moment the bowl in her hand was snatched away and fell to the ground, Jiang Ningwan felt her cheeks burning, as if she had been slapped hard in the face.
Her palms tightened.
He put down his chopsticks heavily and said, "I don't have to eat this meal at your house."
After that, she stood up and left.
"Stop!" Jiang Bingde shouted sternly.
Jiang Ningwan kept walking.
At this time, Jiang Xiru quickly chased out, "I'll go and persuade my sister!"
In the courtyard, Jiang Xiru grabbed her arm and said, "Sister, do you have any prejudice against me? If I do something wrong, please give me some advice."
That pitiful and innocent tone made Jiang Ningwan even more certain that she had something to hide.
"Let me ask you, was it you who sold the Ling family's ancestral home to Lu Qingheng?"
Jiang Ningwan's straightforward question caught Jiang Xiru off guard.
"I don't."
Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed her chin, "Really?"
The sachet on Jiang Xiru's body had never been seen before she went to the battle, which means that Jiang Xiru had been to Huaifeng after she went to the battle.
It is very likely that he has met Lu Qingheng.
They joined forces.
The title deed was most likely also the work of Jiang Xiru.
"Sister, please let me go. Dad will be angry if he sees you. Although you have brought honor to the Jiang family, your mother is gone, and Dad is no longer your father."
Jiang Xiru looked at her pitifully, but her words were meant to deliberately provoke Jiang Ningwan.
Jiang Ningwan could see through her little thoughts and smiled coldly.
The moment she let go of Jiang Xiru's chin, she slapped him in the face with her backhand.
Jiang Xiru fell to the ground suddenly, and her face quickly became red and swollen.
Hearing the hurried footsteps behind her, Jiang Xiru's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, her voice choked with sobs: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry, please don't be angry."
"If you're still not satisfied, hit me a couple more times."
Jiang Ningwan saw Jiang Bingde hurrying over from behind, but she didn't take it seriously. She lowered her eyes and looked down at Jiang Xiru.
"Then as you wish."
The words fell.
pop-
Jiang Ningwan swung her arm and delivered two powerful slaps.
Extra loud.
Jiang Xiru fell to the ground in a mess, his cheeks red and swollen, tears streaming down his face.
"You rebellious girl!" Jiang Bingde came quickly and raised his hand in anger.
Jiang Ningwan reacted quickly and caught his falling wrist.
She looked up at him and said, "Duke Jiang, today I will help you teach your daughter a lesson."
"Let's slowly settle the account of the Ling family's ancestral home!"
Jiang Bingde was furious. "You've grown so powerful that you dare to teach me a lesson?"
Jiang Ningwan said in a cold tone, "Duke Jiang, we no longer have any father-daughter relationship. It would be better for us to sever our relationship as soon as possible and remove my name from the family tree."
She doesn't need a family like this.
"How dare you!" Jiang Bingde roared angrily.
"Don't think that I can't teach you a lesson just because you've been appointed a general!"
"Come here, bring me some family advice!"
