âYes, yes, Iâll go with you!â Ms. Maâs face turned pale, her face covered in tears and snot, all of which were scared out of her.
Jiang Ning patted her shoulder, scaring her so much that her body trembled, âHow do you plan to face her?â
âHow⦠how do I face her?â
Ms. Ma shivered and looked up at her blankly.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, âTo tell you the truth, I have no interest in scaring or torturing people for no reason. After all, Iâm not a psychopath.â
Ms. Ma didnât say a word.
When she first arrived, she was already beating and torturing a maid to vent her anger.
Jiang Ningâs words clearly implied that she was the psychopath.
But Ms. Ma didnât refute a single word.
Jiang Ning continued, âOur conflict is already in the past. Although both you and your husband have offended me and gotten your retribution, your great mother-in-law, Concubine Xian, refuses to be honest. Iâm planning to stay in the palace for a while, isnât this upsetting me?â
âIf Concubine Xian provokes you, go deal with her. Why are you coming to me?â
âI am going to deal with her, but I have to choose the right method. After all, she still has the Emperorâs support.â
âWhat exactly do you want me to do?â
âCome with me, and Iâll explain everything on the way.â
After finishing her sentence, Jiang Ning turned around and left.
Ms. Ma sat on the ground, hesitating and not moving.
Jiang Yu patted Changshengâs dog head, making Changsheng let out a soft whining sound.
Ms. Ma, as if hearing a death knell, suddenly jumped up and ran after Jiang Ning.
âHahaha!â Jiang Yu clapped his hands cheerfully, âHow interesting, very interesting indeed.â
After laughing, he worried, âFourth Brother, do you think Seventh Sister will tell Father on us?â
âDonât worry, sheâs even worse than us. She wonât tell on us.â
âThen why do I feel guilty when she lectures us?â
âThatâs because she deals with villains, while we tease innocent little maids,â Jiang Qi explained.
âI didnât do anything. It was you, Fourth Brother, who teased her. Tell me honestly, do you like Xingâer, that little maid? Thatâs why you always tease her?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Letâs go!â
Jiang Qi slapped his brother on the back of his head and walked out.
When the two brothers went outside, they saw Jiang Ning already sitting in the carriage.
Ms. Ma stood under the carriage, talking to Jiang Ning with a hesitant and troubled expression. Upon seeing the General Changsheng held by Jiang Yu, her face changed involuntarily. She immediately nodded to Jiang Ning and hurriedly got into the carriage of Prince of Huaiâs residence.
Jiang Ning looked over, âFourth Son, Eighth Son, you two should go home.â
Jiang Qi went over and asked, âSeventh Sister, let me escort you back to the palace.â
âGucheng is here, itâs fine,â Jiang Ning leaned on the carriage window, looking at the two brothers, âYour eldest and third brothers are already married and established. When will you two stop fooling around? Do you plan to live your entire lives relying on your ancestorsâ achievements?â
âThatâs Eighth Brother, not me,â Jiang Qi immediately said with a serious look, âIâll follow in our familyâs footsteps as a great general, fighting enemies and protecting our country on the battlefield.â
Jiang Yu said gloomily, âFourth Brother, can you not drag me down?â
Jiang Ning laughed, âAnyway, you both better not mess around, or else Iâll tell Uncle, and thenâ¦â
âGucheng, itâs getting late, hurry up and take the Princess Consort back to the palace!â Jiang Qi urged Gucheng hurriedly.
He was afraid of Jiang Ningâs nagging.
As they watched the carriage leave, the brothers finally sighed in relief.
Jiang Yu said, âSeventh Sister is the most beautiful girl in our family, and sheâs also very formidable.â
âYes, and her skills in lecturing people are top-notch. Letâs go.â
âWhere to?â
