Chapter 8 Liu's Suicide

Lady Liu sneered, "Your Highness, Luan'er is, after all, a member of the Zhenyuan Marquis's household."

"She only accidentally wandered in today, and Your Highness is forcing her to jump off the building. Isn't that a bit too inhumane?"

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of what the people will say about you?"

"Madam Jiang, are you trying to reason with me?"

Gu Liang smiled and said:

"you?"

"Unworthy."

"Today's show was directed and acted by your precious daughter herself; I was just helping out."

"Moreover, I have never cared about my reputation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luan frowned even more deeply, her gaze fixed intently on Gu Liang.

Rather than die at his hands, I thought I might as well take a gamble.

She slowly got up, propped herself up, and looked around the room, but did not see Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi clearly came into this room, so how come there's no one here?

That wretched woman, she's so lucky.

“Your Highness, if I were to jump out of this window, I beg you to release me and my mother as well.”

"Luan'er, you can't go!"

Liu clung tightly to Jiang Luan's sleeve and reached the window before her.

Liu looked up at Gu Liang, her resentment once again hidden in her eyes.

A moment later, she turned around and jumped.

"Mother!"

Jiang Luan immediately got up and rushed over, but it was too late.

A scream suddenly erupted from below the attic.

"Mother! Mother!" Jiang Luan rushed downstairs in a trembling voice.

Old Madam Jiang looked at Gu Liang, who was sitting down.

"If Your Highness wishes to rest here, I will have my servants tidy up."

"Then I will not disturb Your Highness any longer."

Before long, several servants cleaned up the bloodstains in the room.

After everyone left, the room returned to silence.

Just as Jiang Zhi was about to leave from behind the screen, she heard Gu Liang's voice.

"Are you satisfied?"

She walked up to Gu Liang and said, "Not bad."

"Now that the show is over, Your Highness may consider my suggestion."

"Marrying me wouldn't be a bad deal for you."

Jiang Zhi's lips curled up slightly.

Gu Liang watched as Jiang Zhi gave instructions to his guards.

"Qinghuai, let's go."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" Qinghuai asked.

"The Imperial Palace."

"Please grant my permission."

"?"

"Your Highness, are you really going to marry that wicked woman from the Jiang family?!"

"She has something I need."

“But it’s not necessary,” Qinghuai continued, but Gu Liang shut her up with a look.

Gu Liang lowered her head.

Do you really not remember me?

-

Jiang Zhi quietly returned to the house. She was exhausted, both mentally and physically, from what had just happened.

Slowly close your eyes and drift into a light sleep.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard where Liu was staying.

Liu lay on the couch, looking at her bandaged leg, clutching her sleeve tightly, sweating profusely from the pain.

After the doctor finished bandaging her and left, Jiang Luan came in from outside the door.

"Mother, how are you?"

"Mother, it's all my fault. I didn't expect that bitch wasn't inside."

Madam Liu clenched her fists tightly. "Luan'er, it's alright. I'll do anything for you."

That's so sincere.

Jiang Luan's eyes gradually reddened, glistening with tears. "Mother, you shouldn't have let that good-for-nothing come back."

"Deliberately trying to gain fame and attract attention."

"Not only did you kill your younger brother, but now that you've returned, you've even implicated me."

Seeing Jiang Luan so aggrieved, Madam Liu felt extremely sorry for her.

"And you, what are you doing running in there, a young lady from a respectable family?"

"Now, we've also offended the King of Liang."

Jiang Luan choked back tears and said, "How can you blame me? She ruined my coming-of-age ceremony, she's the one to blame!"

"Mother, why doesn't she just die?"

"Only when she dies can we have a good life."

"Why doesn't she just die!"

"That's enough," Liu said angrily.

"You mustn't let your father hear these words."

“Mother, I will find a way to make her go back to Liangzhou.”

“The Jiang family is not a place she can come and go as she pleases.”

Jiang Luan trembled at her shout and muttered, "Anyway, she absolutely cannot stay in the Jiang family anymore."

In the Peach Blossom Courtyard, Jiang Zhi was startled awake by a loud "bang!"

The door was kicked open, and an arrogant maid entered the room carrying a food box.

It turned out to be Ye Lan, Zhang Mama's daughter, who had often given her the cold shoulder.

She placed the food box heavily on the table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and brought out the food, placing it on the table one by one.

A plate of honey-glazed tofu, a bowl of lotus seed soup, a bowl of hot and sour mutton, and steamed sugar pancakes.

"Today is the Second Miss's coming-of-age ceremony, and the kitchen has even prepared mutton as an extra dish! Thanks to the Second Miss, we're in for a treat!"

As night fell, he drooled over the food on the table, rubbed his hands together, picked up his bowl, and began to eat.

Completely unaware that Jiang Zhi was lying on the bed behind him.

As she ate, she muttered to herself, "You call yourself the legitimate daughter? You should take a good look in the mirror and see what kind of monstrosity you look like."

"Only a woman like the Second Miss, who possesses both virtue and talent and a compassionate heart, is worthy of being the legitimate daughter of a marquis!"

Jiang Zhi lay on his side facing inward, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Hmph, it's time to deal with you.

Jiang Zhi quietly put on her shoes and got out of bed, silently approaching Ye Lan, who was happily eating.

Ye Lan sensed something beside her. She turned her head and met Jiang Zhi's gloomy eyes.

"Ah!" She was so frightened that all she could do was scream.

She quickly got up and bowed, "Miss... Miss."

Jiang Zhi smiled slightly and reached out to pat the oil stains on Ye Lan's body that had been splashed with meat soup. "Oh dear, how could you be so careless? Let me help you."

After saying that, he directly grabbed Ye Lan's wrist and squeezed it tightly.

A mocking smile appeared on his lips, and suddenly he increased the force in his hand, twisting it sharply.

With a snap, Jiang Zhi released her.

Ye Lan's wrist was bent at an odd angle, clearly indicating that it was broken.

Ye Lan screamed in pain; all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Ye Lan hugged his hands, wanting to touch but not daring to, and rolled on the ground, crying out in pain.

"If you dare to steal food again, it won't just be your hand that gets cut off."

With a casual sweep, all the food on the table fell to the ground, plates and bowls clattering and clanging.

"You dare break my hand! How dare a young lady of your stature be so petty! I'll have my mother tell Madam, and she will absolutely not let you get away with this!"

Ye Lan roared in anger. She couldn't tolerate that a country bumpkin she had always bullied had broken her hand!

She quickly got up from the floor and ran out of the room.

Jiang Zhi followed him out of the room and into the courtyard.

Seeing the servants pacing back and forth outside the courtyard gate, which was not closed, he sternly ordered, "Guards! Seize the maid who stole the master's food!"

Upon hearing such a fierce order, the servants didn't care whose command it was and immediately seized Ye Lan, who was about to run to find her mother.

It was indeed stealing its owner's food; it hadn't even wiped the broth residue from the corners of its mouth.

Wait, who gave them the orders?

The servants racked their brains before realizing that this was Momoein, the young lady's residence!

Several people cautiously asked, "Young Miss?"

"Let me go! Let me go! My mother is someone close to the madam! How dare you servants offend her!" Ye Lan struggled fiercely.
