âSuch a pity for that half-pot of porridge,â Jiang Ning said.
âIt wasnât wasted, though. It was all cleaned up and sent to a family to feed their pigs,â Jiang Fu said with a laugh.
âYou did well, Uncle Fu. Go to Huang Ying and get the rewards for everyone, then divide the End-of-Year Sacrifice Festival porridge among them, and take half a day off. Those who have homes and families can go back and celebrate the festival.â
âThank you for your grace, Princess Consort. They will be overjoyed.â
Jiang Fu bowed with a grin and left.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan, the pair of sisters, were left dumbfounded.
âWhat happened? I heard that something went wrong at the porridge shed, and the Princess Consort and Madam fled. Why did you send someone to distribute porridge again?â Jiang Yuan asked.
âThe porridge shed was already set up, and the porridge was ready. It canât be wasted, can it?â Jiang Ning peeled a sweet potato and blew on it. âAs for gaining fame and prestige, as long as the cost is not too high, Iâm willing to do it.â
âYou⦠are truly eye-opening.â
Jiang Yan whispered, âSeventh Sister, arenât you afraid theyâll come and make trouble again?â
She was always timid and dared not speak to strangers. If surrounded by a group of men, she would probably faint.
Jiang Yi said, âSixth Sister, donât you understand? Those ruffians and beggars were clearly arranged by her. Of course, she wouldnât be afraid.â
Jiang Ning quickly raised her hand, âNot true, I donât like ruffians and donât want to deal with them. Paying them to cause trouble? I must have been stuffed.â
âSo, you admit the beggars were hired by you?â
âThe brothers of the Beggarâs Gang are not badâ¦â Jiang Ning snickered.
That was an admission.
Jiang Yuan said, âYouâre crazy, you dare to do anything.â
âSo do you, daring to beat Princess Lingâan in public.â
âThatâs a different matter.â
âTo me, itâs the same thing. Itâs all about disliking something and resorting to fighting and brawling.â
âWhat benefits do you gain from doing this?â Jiang Yuan asked.
âI donât know if itâs good or bad for me, but I know it must be bad for the Princess Consort.â
Jiang Yi laughed and said, âIn my opinion, the Crown Prince might not even make it out of the East Palace next year.â
âWhy is that?â Jiang Yan asked curiously.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Yuan looked over.
Although they had been studying since childhood, they mostly learned about the teachings and virtues of women, read poetry, and didnât know much about the imperial courtâs affairs.
Seeing that Seventh Sister didnât object, Jiang Yi explained to them, âThis matter, although itâs the Princess Consortâs incompetence, the Princess Consort and the Crown Prince are a unit. If she canât do it well, it means the Crown Prince canât do it well either.â
âI see,â Jiang Yan said, her face flushed.
It wasnât embarrassment, but excitement.
She had never had anyone explain to her the affairs of the imperial court in her life.
Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Ning, âSeventh Sister, arenât you afraid that people will find out the beggars were hired by you to cause trouble?â
âThird Brother, do you know whatâs not good about you?â
âWhat?â
âBeing indecisive.â
ââ¦I call that being prudent!â
âItâs clearly shrinking back.â
âYou littleâ¦â Jiang Yi pretended to hit her, âHow dare you talk to your brother like that.â
Seeing their interaction, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan couldnât help but feel envious.
Although they had spent more time with Third Brother than Jiang Ning, they had to admit that Jiang Ning was more likable.
Jiang Ning said, âThe Crown Prince and Princess Consort did such a shameless thing, why donât you ask them if theyâre afraid of people knowing? Theyâre not afraid, what do I have to fear? Even if she finds out that I brought the beggars, what can she do to me?â
