Chapter 9



At those words, Jiang Ruyun’s face changed abruptly, and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground.

She must have found out something!

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have mentioned this repeatedly in front of her.

But the question was, how did she find out?

Jiang Ruyun lowered her eyes, looking utterly pitiful.

“Elder Sister, what I said just now didn’t mean that. You misunderstood me.”

“It’s fine if you know whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, Second Sister. Why do you have to come and explain it to me?” Jiang Peihuan laughed lightly.

Jiang Ruyun was taken aback, but her eyes still glistened with tears.

“Elder Sister, I know you resent me because of the change in our marriages. I didn’t mean for it to happen.”

“If you’re unhappy, Elder Sister, why don’t we call off the engagement?”

Retreating to advance had always been an effective strategy for Jiang Ruyun.

These tactics weren’t difficult to see through, but they were very effective on the former Jiang Peihuan.

However, what did she get in return for all the concessions she made in the past?

“Ruyun, what nonsense are you talking about!”

Zhou Rongfang was a little anxious and kept pushing Jiang Ruyun.

“Since the marriage has already been changed, then this marriage is valid. Second Sister, you need not say such words to me.”

Jiang Peihuan spoke as she scooped up a bowl of soup.

The soup was sweet and smooth, but when it reached her mouth, she felt a little bitter.

“Moreover, as people drink water, they know whether it’s cold or warm. We might not know if it’s a blessing or a curse until the end.”

Having been reborn, Jiang Peihuan knew what kind of person Zhao Fuqing was.

He may seem eager to change the marriage and marry Jiang Ruyun, looking deeply in love with her.

However, in the years after they got married, Zhao Fuqing never stopped for a moment, surrounded by an endless stream of women.

Jiang Ruyun married into the Huainan King’s Mansion, seemingly climbing up a high branch.

But she couldn’t deal with her in-laws, couldn’t persuade her husband, and couldn’t handle the numerous concubines.

Especially during the years when the Jiang family was in decline, Jiang Ruyun suffered abuse and torment in the Huainan family.

Unable to bear a son, she was driven out by the Huainan family with a divorce letter and hanged herself in the mansion.

If she didn’t experience some hardship, she might never wake up.

As she thought about it, Jiang Peihuan finished the soup in her bowl.

“Alright, No talking while eating or sleeping. Have you forgotten the rules of the Jiang family?” Old madam spoke again.

Everyone stopped talking and quickly lowered their heads to eat dinner.

However, Jiang Ruyun and Madam Zhou couldn’t swallow their anger.

As a result, after dinner, the two of them had just returned to Autumn Tang Court when Jiang Ruyun started smashing things with an unhappy expression.

“Alright, what’s the point of throwing a tantrum now? You’ll only harm your own health,” Zhou Rongfang advised.

“Mother, Elder Sister was obviously cursing me!” Jiang Ruyun complained.

“We went to great lengths to snatch her marriage away, but now, I have become the object of ridicule in this family!”

Hearing this, Zhou Rongfang snorted.

“The reason Jiang Peihuan is so proud is because of King Cheng!”

In fact, Zhou Rongfang could not understand this matter at all.

However, she was certain that Xiao Nanye would never fall for Jiang Peihuan.

“I don’t know what King Cheng sees in a woman who’s more manly than a man!” Jiang Ruyun added.

“What else could it be? I suspect that today’s incident is mostly because His Highness King Cheng has some connection with the general, so he helped Jiang Peihuan out,” Zhou Rongfang speculated.

“He left after resolving the problem. Do you really think he would marry Jiang Peihuan?”

Jiang Ruyun nodded. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.

“But Mother, I’ve already lost face… Everyone in the residence is talking…”

“No rush.”

“Don’t worry,” Zhou Rongfang reassured, holding Jiang Ruyun’s hand and gently comforting her, a fierce look in her eyes.

“Jiang Peihuan thinks she can turn the tables by involving King Cheng, but she doesn’t realize she’s just inviting trouble.”

“Speaking of which, it’s her own fault. Of all people, she had to involve King Cheng!”

“Mother, what do you mean?” Jiang Ruyun seemed to understand something.

Zhou Rongfang chuckled and whispered into Jiang Ruyun’s ear.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Jiang Peihuan had just woken up in a daze when Cui Er entered the room to give her an update.

“Miss, I’ve already handed the letter and medicine to Deputy General Liu. He left for the north early this morning and should be able to deliver everything in about five days.”

Jiang Peihuan nodded.

She hoped these items would work and save her brother from his tragic fate of dying in the Northern Territory, as he did in his previous life.

“Also, the King of Huainan sent someone to deliver silver notes this morning,” Cui Er said as she handed over a stack of notes.

“I’ve counted them. It’s exactly two hundred thousand gold taels.”

Jiang Peihuan took the silver notes and smiled.

It was only the second day, and the Huainan family had already hurriedly sent the silver notes. They were probably afraid of Xiao Nanye.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t love money, but her experiences in her previous life made her understand that sometimes only money could solve many problems.

However…

At the mention of Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan suddenly remembered what he had said yesterday.

So what did she say to Xiao Nanye when she fell into the water and fainted?

After thinking for a long time without reaching any conclusion, Jiang Peihuan decided to stop thinking about it.

She put on her coat and was about to get out of bed when Yue Er rushed in.

“Miss, something’s wrong… The entire capital is spreading rumors… They’re saying…”

At this point, Yue Er suddenly wanted to say something but stopped, making Cui Er anxious.

“Tell us what they’re spreading!”

Yue Er had no choice but to reveal everything.

“Everyone in the capital is saying that you, Miss, have feelings for His Highness King Cheng, so you deliberately seduced him…”

“They’re also saying that you falling into the water a few days ago was all staged, just so you could be saved by His Highness King Cheng and make him take responsibility for you!”
