Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Crown Prince walked away, unaware that Jiang Xi’s rare kindness today would be Zhao Panpan’s greatest tragedy in the future. If Dong Sheng and Zhao Panpan were given another chance, they would probably not leave even if they were beaten to death.

“You’re not with them?” Jiang Xi asked Zhao Ruifeng and Zhao Yingying.

Zhao Yingying covered her mouth and laughed, “We’re not going with them. The Zhao Panpan in front of me is now the daughter of the Zhao family in Jing City. She’s me and my brother’s half-sister. However, there’s something you said just now that was quite right. Zhao Panpan will indeed be noble and will marry that person.” She pointed at the sky, her face full of fear.

Jiang Xi smiled profoundly. Someone must have misunderstood something. She was probably the only one who knew the truth of the matter.

“Did you like the Mid-Autumn Festival present I gave you last time? Those are all personally prepared.” Zhao Yingying had a good impression of Jiang Xi. She kept talking to her and called her Sister Jiang Xi because she was younger than Jiang Xi by half a year.

Jiang Shan glanced at Zhao Yingying. So this was noble that Jiang Si had been talking about all day, wanting to curry favor with. No matter how noble this noble was, she still had a nose and two ears, right? She did not seem to be anything different.

From afar, Jiang Si walked over quickly. Just as he was about to go up and talk to Zhao Ruifeng, he heard Zhao Ruifeng say to Jiang Xi, “If there’s anything you need, you can come to the Zhao family’s courtyard to find me.” The person he had ordered to find had probably been found. When he thought of the torturous things he had to deal with when he went back, he felt a headache.

“Young Master, I’m Jiang Xi’s fourth brother. I’m usually the closest to Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi isn’t very talkative, so I’ll bring her to visit you next time. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her today.” Before Jiang Si could finish his sentence, he saw Zhao Ruifeng staring at him with a sharp look. Jiang Si’s body stiffened, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

“What does your identity have to do with me? A scholar must have a strong character, don’t go around licking other people’s feet.” Zhao Ruifeng could not bear to see Jiang Si’s fawning expression. He should learn more than take advantage of his sister.

Zhao Ruifeng’s words made Jiang Si’s face turn pale, and his shoulders trembled. Zhao Yingying did not seem surprised. After saying goodbye to Jiang Xi, she left with Zhao Ruifeng. However, when she passed by Jiang Si, Zhao Yingying suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had been hurt. She quickly glanced at Jiang Si, and her heart was filled with disgust and fear.

Zhao Yingying’s face turned pale in an instant, and she almost could not stand still. The severe pain in her heart made her nails sink into her flesh. It was a servant girl who came forward to help her so she barely kept up with her self-control and stumbled to keep up with Zhao Ruifeng’s footsteps. After returning to the Zhao family’s courtyard, Zhao Yingying fell seriously ill.

Jiang Si’s expression was gloomy, and his sullen look was somewhat terrifying. Based on Jiang Si’s character, as long as he had the chance, he would do his best to climb up.

“Tell me when you’re going to the Zhao family’s courtyard. How can an unmarried girl like you go to another man’s house? What kind of behavior is that?” After Jiang Si finished speaking to Jiang Xi, he looked in the direction where Zhao Yingying had disappeared. It would be great if he could marry a girl from the Zhao family one day. She seemed innocent and easy to manipulate. If he could marry her, the Zhao family would be of great help to him.

Jiang Xi was standing behind her, so no one saw her suddenly cold gaze. She looked in the direction of Jiang Si and frowned without saying a word.

“Jiang Xi, you just talked to that official. You’re so good!” Yang Fen stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xi’s arm, saying, “My good daughter, if you can enter the eyes of those noble people, mother will be at ease for the rest of her life. You are born with good fortune. Those people outside will be envious of you to death in the future.”

Jiang Si had told Yang Fen that she had to coax Jiang Xi first. In the future, Jiang Si’s future and marriage would need Jiang Xi’s help. At this moment, Yang Fen was getting more and more pleased with Jiang Xi.

“Mother, are those families people we can dream of? Those people all had three wives and four concubines, and a large group of women in the backyard would be fighting to be favored How is this a life for humans? If Jiang Xi doesn’t want to get married, you can’t force her to. If you don’t want to support her, I’ll support her in the future.” Jiang Shan jumped out to protect Jiang Xi, for fear that Yang Fen would sell Jiang Xi out after being urged by Jiang Si.
