Jiang Ruzhu continued her vicious curses: "He's just playing with you. You're nothing but a discarded woman who got annuled. Do you really think he, a member of the royal family, would marry you?"
Stop dreaming!
Recalling how Ye Xuanchen had protected Jiang Luoxue earlier, Jiang Ruzhu was consumed by jealousy.
Jiang Luoxue, a wretched woman who grew up without a mother and was disliked by her father, why is she so lucky?
Seeing her stepsister's insanely jealous gaze, Jiang Luoxue curled her lips in disdain and continued to irritate her.
"Do you think everyone is like you, with a pig's head and a brain smaller than a fingernail, whose only thought is to climb into a man's bed?"
"You've managed to hook up with An Yuanxiu, but is he even willing to marry you now?"
"you...!"
Jiang Ruzhu's sore spot was hit.
Thinking that she had finally conceived An Yuanxiu's child, she thought she could finally become the Crown Prince's wife.
As a result, the man not only went back on his word, but also took his anger out on Jiang Luoxue for breaking off the engagement.
She chased after him intending to tell him she was pregnant, but the man left without even turning his head.
She's so angry!
Jiang Ruzhu grew angrier the more she thought about it, her eyes flashing with resentment and jealousy.
Not wanting to be looked down upon by Jiang Luoxue, she stubbornly replied, "Of course Brother Yuanxiu would be willing to marry me."
After saying that, she looked at her elder sister with a smug expression and uttered arrogant words.
"Jiang Luoxue, once you've been abandoned by the General and have lost your backing, after I marry Brother Yuanxiu, crushing you will be as easy as crushing an ant."
As for Jiang Luoxue's statement that she was her parents' creditor, Jiang Ruzhu didn't listen to a word of it.
She thought the Minister's mansion had plenty of money, so when she marries An Yuanxiu, she would take all of Liu's dowry, and then make a grand wedding procession to infuriate Jiang Luoxue.
Seeing Jiang Ruzhu's greedy and hateful eyes, Jiang Luoxue found it very displeasing.
Of course, you can't tolerate people you don't like.
*Slap! Slap!* Two bright, hard slaps landed across her face.
Jiang Ruzhu's face immediately swelled up, with five finger marks on each side, perfectly symmetrical, and the fierce glint in her eyes was instantly replaced by astonishment.
Jiang Luoxue nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm! It looks much better now."
"Jiang Luoxue, how dare you hit me!" Jiang Ruzhu screamed in disbelief, covering her face.
When she came to her senses, she was furious and reached out to scratch Hua Jiangluoxue's face.
Once i scratch that bitch's face, let's see how she tries to seduce General Ye.
Seeing that her stepsister was so vicious as to want to disfigure her, Jiang Luoxue naturally couldn't tolerate it.
She grabbed Jiang Ruzhu by the hair, dragged her to a secluded spot, and started beating her.
Disgusted by the woman's thick skin and the pain in her hand from hitting her, Jiang Luoxue, disregarding martial ethics, simply took off one of her embroidered shoes and slapped it across the woman's face.
For a moment, crackling and popping sounds rang out incessantly.
Seeing the second young lady being beaten by the eldest young lady, the servants of the Minister's mansion tried to step in to break up the fight.
Before they could even get close, Zhu Ying kicked them all over the place, and they stood timidly a few feet away, too afraid to go any further.
After dealing with the helpers, Zhu Ying leisurely started gossiping with Qiu Ju.
"Master is too strong! Not only can she hit people, but she can also curse them in a variety of ways!"
From cursing Prince An and confronting Lady Anguo in the hall just now, to now beating and scolding Jiang Ruzhu.
She had never seen a woman so fierce.
Qiuju glanced at the servants who were huddled up in fear and dared not approach any further, and silently complained to herself.
Your hands-on skills are pretty good too!
But despite my complaints, she still answered her honestly.
"She's only suddenly become more formidable in the last few days; the young lady wasn't this fierce before."
"Back then, she would often be scolded ten times but dare not say a word back. If she was beaten, she would only hide in the shadows and cry, and dare not fight back at all."
Chunhe and I often watched with growing anxiety, frequently advising her not to be so weak.
"I don't know why she's suddenly become so fierce these days, and sometimes I can't even understand some of the things she says."
Qiu Ju looked at Jiang Luoxue, who was hitting someone with great enthusiasm, with eyes full of admiration.
"But you know what, this fierce young lady is practically glowing; she looks much better than before,"
"I think it's good too." Zhu Ying nodded in agreement.
The young lady Jiang in front of her completely overturned her impression of a well-bred lady.
It has to be said that this kind of master is quite interesting. She is much more pleasing to the eye than those high-born ladies who pretend to be aloof and righteous all day long. For some reason, she likes her very much.
Zhu Ying had a premonition that her life would be much more colorful than it had been in the General's Mansion now that she had a new master.
Jiang Luoxue was unaware of their conversation; she was hitting the woman until her hand ached.
She looked at the woman whose face she had beaten into a pig's head, yet whose eyes still held a stubbornness that seemed to want to devour him.
It seems the blows were too light.
She shook her hands and continued hitting, cursing as she hit: "Jiang Ruzhu, Jiang Ruzhu, I seriously suspect that your head was just used to make up for your height."
"I broke off my engagement with your lover, and he won't marry you. Instead of making a scene at the Duke of Anguo's mansion, you've come to cause trouble for me?"
"I'm asking you, is your brain filled with water or shit?!"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Go find whoever wronged you, and stop barking like a mad dog."
"I have a bad temper. If you dare to mess with me again, next time it won't just be a beating with the sole of my shoe."
Jiang Luoxue leaned close to her ear and threatened, "If there's a next time, believe me, I'll get rid of the baby in your belly and make sure An Yuanxiu never marries you!"
"How...how do you know!" Jiang Ruzhu's face was swollen, and she could barely speak.
Pale-faced and filled with panic, she stared at her stepsister. Her secret had been discovered, and she was terrified.
Jiang Luoxue curled her lips into a smirk: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place!"
"So Jiang Ruzhu, you and your mother had better stay away from me."
"I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble either."
"If you keep courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Jiang Luoxue, you've gone mad!" Jiang Ruzhu was stunned by her fierce appearance, instinctively feeling that her once weak and easily bullied elder sister had really changed.
Feeling frightened, she cursed the servants in the mansion in her heart.
These damn idiots, instead of hurrying to their parents to come and save her.
Are they just going to stand by and watch her get beaten to death by this crazy woman?
Perhaps heaven heard her heart's desire, for a servant hurriedly brought Chu Lianxin over.
"My dear Pearl!" Seeing her daughter's pretty face bruised and swollen, Chu Lianxin's eyes widened in horror, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
"Zhu'er, how are you?" She wanted to reach out and touch her daughter's face, but she was afraid that touching her would hurt her even more.
"Mom, my face hurts so much!"
Upon seeing her mother, Jiang Ruzhu felt as if she had found a savior and immediately began to complain to her.
"Mother, it is that bitch Jiang Luoxue who hit me! She even threatened me, saying you have to avenge me! Ouch—!"
Speaking too excitedly aggravated her wound, causing Jiang Ruzhu to gasp in pain.
Chu Lianxin was already furious today, and seeing that Ye Xuanchen had left, she realized that no one was there to support her stepdaughter anymore.
Upon hearing her daughter's words, she immediately stood up and waved to Jiang Luoxue.
