Ji Yanran returned to her room and sat on the bed, a storm brewing on her stern face, "Mother, what did you tell Father? Why did His Majesty suddenly order the marriage? If Sixth Prince did not come to our house, I would not know anything about it. What exactly happened? "

"Your father hid this from me as well. He obviously didn't want us to know about it!" Lady Liu's expression was also extremely unsightly, "Yan'er, you were too rash today, and brought up the matter of the An family. If someone were to hear about it, who knows what kind of trouble it would invite to us. Besides, how could you say such disobedient words to your father? If this spread outside, do you still want to maintain your good reputation?"

"Crash ~ ~ ~"

Ji Yanran was furious at her mother’s words. She flung the teacup away, and spoke with an incomparably sharp voice: "Reputation! No matter how great my reputation is and how bad hers is, she won by seeking death and throwing a tantrum in front of Father. Ever since I was a child, you've taught me to put up with everything, but in the end, what did I get? "

"I didn't get anything. On the contrary, I was always pressured by her. Food and clothing. All the better things are hers. I endured. At home or out, she was the first priority, and I put up with it. But in the end, even the man that I favored has also been robbed by her. Why? She's the young miss of marquis' mansion. So am I!. She’s the daughter of father. So am I. Her mother died, but I still have my mother. My mother is the Marquis' matriarch, aren’t you? "

"Why? Just because her mother saved none other than your grandmother! "

Lady Liu took a deep breath and dismissed the servant girl, "If Lin Xiang had saved any other person, even if it was Marquis, she would not be allowed to run rampant in the house like this. But the person she saved was your grandmother, and with your grandmother's help and the Marquis's filial piety, and his guilt towards that slut, how could she not spoil her daughter?" The slut that Lady Liu referred to was Marquis Yongning's first wife, Lin Xiang.

"The grace of saving her life, and the grace of saving her life again?"

Ji Yanran clenched her teeth and chuckled: "But she's already dead for fifteen years. Her bones have probably turned to ash completely. It's already good enough to show any gratitude, but Grandmother is still helping her. I can't accept this. Mother, are you willing to accept this? "

"Enough! Why are you so angry? It's just an imperial edict. It's not like you didn't see it today. Nobody knows what will happen. Don’t mess up your own plans!" How could she not be angry? However, she understood that sometimes, living people could not compete with the dead.

She had thought Marquis would be disappointed and give up her after their father-and-daughter relationship had gone bad. Now, it seemed like she was wrong. Even though he knew that Sixth Prince liked Yanran, Marquis still went to request for the imperial edict in confusion. He even kept it a secret from her and didn't reveal anything beforehand.

If they were not caught unprepared, how could they be in such a passive position?

"How can I not be angry?"

Ji Yanran's expression did not change at all, "Listen to that bitch. What did she mean by speaking of this Crown prince from the Marquis Yongning's Mansion? She is obviously mocking us. Even without our grandmother and father, the Mansion will sooner or later be taken over by Ji Shaoyang. With Ji Shaoyang's protection, we will be pressured by her for entire life! "

Who was the Crown prince of the Marquis Yongning's Mansion?

This question was truly hit-at-the-head.

The Crown prince of the Marquis Yongning's Mansion was naturally the eldest son of the strongest Ji Family, Ji Shaoyang was their elder brother, but he was also the biological brother of that bitch Ji Huachang. Ji Shaoyang had never disguised his feelings towards the other siblings——he had only protected that bitch since she was young. It was God's will for Ji Shaoyang and Ji Huangchang to have climbed out of the same mother's womb.

The more Ji Yanran thought about it, the angrier she got: "Moreover, the imperial edict has already been passed down, what else can be done? If Six Prince had made up his mind to go against the imperial edict, he would not go to the Mansion first before going to see His Majesty, and he would not let her go even if he had launched a move . Now, I am afraid that Sixth Prince will not even have any gains even if he sees His Majesty, could it be that even Mother does not understand this? "

How could the imperial edict be so easy to change? If it were to be taken back the moment it was laid down. That was to let the emperor slap his own face!

Under the heavens, who would dare?

"I think the one who can't understand is you."

Lady Liu went up and sat beside Ji Yanran. She pursed her lips and said, "Ran, this is the Hou Mansion. With so many pairs of eyes watching in broad daylight, if Sixth Prince really did make a move, Mother would have to seriously consider whether or not he was a good match for you. To make a move or not is just a matter of time and place. "

Ji Yanran's eyes lit up. "Mother, you're saying …"

"The decree has already been passed down, but what if the bride is gone on the day of marriage?" Oh you, just wait and see …" Lady Liu only had an unfathomable face. These descendants of the royal family are always the most wayward ones. Since he had been insulted by the good-for-nothing woman, could he eat dirt without doing anything?

Wouldn't that really be like a fainthearted turtle?

Ji Yanran's expression slightly relaxed, thinking of how Sixth Prince looked when he left, filled with killing intent. What her mother said was really true—— things had turned out like this today, so Sixth Prince had lost all his face. What she needs to do was only add fuel to the flames to get rid of Ji Huachang secretly.

But...

"But what about Ji Shaoyang? I really don't know why that slut was so lucky to have so many people protecting her despite clearly being a fool " Ji Yanran's eyes were filled with unwillingness and envy. If Ji Shaoyang was her own big brother, she wouldn't have been pressured by this idiot ever since she was young.

"Who wouldn't die in a fight?"

Lady Liu's face was also somewhat sinister. "Even if he didn't die on the battlefield, we will always find a way to get rid of him. Mother has my own plans to deal with this matter, you don't need to worry about it."

Ji Shaoyang, it was precisely this person that had impeded her two sons' prospect. In the past, Yu'er and Meng’er were still young, and his Old Lady Ji's protection was invulnerable, so she couldn't find any opportunities to get rid of him.

It was high time for her to think about it.

...

The Unparalleled Pavilion, other than the residences of the Old Madame and the Marquis, was the best courtyard in the entire house. It was named after the owner of the house, a fine three-storey pavilion with many corridors, a small fake mountain and a lotus pond in front of the pavilion. One could command a bird’s view of the whole Marquis Mansion.

Creak. The room door was pushed open from outside.

Zhen Zhu carefully walked in and knelt in front of the beauty’s couch. Her vision was dim and dark, even her tongue stuttered: "Young, Young Miss, I was wrong. I beg Young Miss to punish me."

"I gave you an hour to ask the matriarch to transfer you to other courtyard, What did you get?" An Su glanced at the hourglass, her voice neither fast nor slow. Her clothes had not yet been changed before she leaned on the beauty’s couch. There was still a book in her hands, but she had not opened it yet.

The words on the cover of the book say: Embroidered Clothing.

There were not many books or documents in Ji Huachang's room, and all of them were similar painting books. She took a few books and flipped through them. They were all love stories.

An Su did not want to watch, so she played with the book.

"I was afraid of chaos. My entire body was dirty, dirty, and it dirtied Miss's eyes. I had to change clothes to serve Miss. I… I will always be the servant of Young Miss. I beg Miss to investigate!" Zhen Zhu shouted with her eyes closed, not daring to raise her head, her sweat flowing down her face.

The appearance of Jadeite and the rest of the party who died with grievances still lingered in her mind. However, when Eldest Miss killed them, she did not remove their status as Eldest Miss's maidservants. That was to say, she had to stay here by this vile lady's side. It was true that she wanted to leave Unparalleled Pavilion, but how could she dare to go and beg the Madam at this time? That was like jumping from the frying pan to the fire!”

Furthermore, even if she did, Second Miss would definitely not care about her life and death right now.

"Zhen Zhu is a smart person."

An Su lowered her head to look at Zhen Zhu who was lying on the ground: "Do you know why I put Jade at first and put you at last during the execution today?"

"I know. I was grateful to Eldest Miss for sparing my life and showing mercy. In the future, I will do my best to help Miss out. Even it would be Blade Mountain or Flame Sea, I will not refuse to go for." Zhen Zhu hurriedly showed her loyalty, of course she knew that it was because Bi Yu was too stupid. Not only did she curse, she even begged Lady Liu to save her life in front of Young Miss.

Young Miss would not allow any pain in her neck. Since the incident three days ago, she had been at loggerheads with the Second Miss, so it was natural for her to take revenge, as could be seen from the actions of the young miss today. If Young Miss wanted to make an example of this, Jade would naturally be the first one to be punished.

To warn them of not forgetting who was their master!

But Emerald and Agate only knew that begging for forgiveness was useless. Even though she invited her wife to do justice, it did not mean that she would be an ally of the Second Miss and Lady Liu faction. As for turning her back on her master, Ji Huachang, she would invite more hatred than Jade. But anyway, it was just to save herself.

The death penalty for the cursing master.

Even if she had been caught red-handed, she wouldn't have admitted it anyway. Especially in front of everyone's eyes, she would have definitely died!

No one could have saved them.

Young Miss killed other servants ruthlessly but spared her life because she was still useful. Otherwise, the young miss would not hint her to beg the Second Miss. It turned out not only the Sixth Prince agreed the young miss's unreasonable request, but the Second Miss was made powerless to counterattack.

Zhen Zhu thought to herself, shocked. She broke out in a cold sweat.

At this point, she became alert——Her young lady had changed!

Young Miss had turned from being childish and vile to being ruthless and domineering. She did not even consider Sixth Prince’s feelings. No matter how willful the young miss had been, she would easily compromise in front of the Sixth Prince. Had she truly been injured by the two slaps from Sixth Prince?

That made sense!

Eldest Miss of Marquis’s Mansion, she had been the apple of the Marquis’s eyes ever since she was a child. Even if she didn't learn anything or have no skill at all, she was still sort of arrogant. How could she tolerate being humiliated like that? Besides, the young miss is right. The Hou Mansion was always the young miss's backer as long as the mansion held power, so the young miss could still do whatever she wanted.

No matter how unhappy the Sixth Prince was, he still had no other choice.

She felt that she had always been cautious, so why would she be possessed by devils to speak ill of Eldest Miss?

"Miss, did you know that the Sixth Prince would come and look for you?" As soon as the words came out, Zhen Zhu's expression became even more serious, and she wished that she could slap himself twice.

An Su didn't seem to be surprised, and said lightly: "I only know that I'll give someone who makes me unhappy a hard time or even make them unable to live. I like to use smart people, but I don't like smug people. Zhen Zhu, do you understand now? "

"I… I understand."

Her gloomy voice made Zhen Zhu shudder, who hurriedly lowered her head and replied meekly. This was Miss's obvious warning to her ——Stop being a smug fence-sitter. Since Young Miss could spare her life, she could also claim her life. She was hesitating, wondering if she should remind her to dress up.

An Su, however, glanced at the items placed on the table, and stood up: "Since you understand me, then pack up and follow me out of the house to have some fun. As for what to bring? People, Silver, and … I don't think I need to remind you, do I? "

"Yes, Miss."

Zhen Zhu stood up, feeling extremely dizzy. She tried to prop herself against the table so she did not fall. Sixth Prince just left the house, and now Young Miss was about to go outside. She thought of the terms that Young Miss and the Sixth Prince had discussed earlier.

Could it be that she wanted to stop him?

Miss used to do these kinds of things often, but there were quite a lot of rumors outside these few days. She was really afraid of any more trouble which might claim her life. However, at this moment, she didn't dare to open her mouth to stop them.
