Chapter 453 - 146: Shocking Sight_3
For Jiang Youyao, the change in affections by Jiang Yuanbai and Madam Jiang the Elder was simply due to Ji Shuran, resulting in the end of their love for her and even disgust. Everyone in the Jiang Residence, from top to bottom, looked down on her. In fact, not even Jiang Bingji received the same indulgence from Madam Jiang the Elder as before, becoming stricter instead—offspring must not be allowed to grow crooked from the root, and Lady Ji was the perfect example.
Under such circumstances, days felt like years for Jiang Youyao.
She had written letters to the Ji family, hoping Ji Yanlin would send someone to take her back to the Ji family. Since the Jiang Family no longer favored her, naturally, the Ji family could help her. But there had been no reply, making Jiang Youyao suspect that the old madam had intercepted her letters. She felt helpless, with rumors swirling everywhere, including whispers that she was not Jiang Yuanbai’s daughter but the illegitimate child of Ji Shuran and Liu Wencai. Each and every incident nearly suffocated Jiang Youyao.
At this time, she even envied Jiang Yue, who had become a concubine for Zhou Yanbang in the Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion. Even if it meant being a concubine, at least she could marry the man she loved. Zhou Yanbang, so tender, would surely understand her and comfort her. Thinking of this, Jiang Youyao couldn’t help but feel hatred towards Jiang Li; if it hadn’t been for Jiang Li and Jiang Yue’s scheming, how could Jiang Yue have snatched away her marriage, which was rightfully hers! Jiang Li had stolen her favor within the Jiang Family, caused the death of her mother, and let Jiang Yue usurp her place—she deserved to die!
Observing the changing expressions on Jiang Youyao’s face, the maid by her side was somewhat afraid. These days, after undergoing drastic changes, Jiang Youyao’s temperament had changed significantly, often beating and scolding the servants. Although the old madam and the head of the family had ordered her not to, within her own courtyard, Jiang Youyao still punished the servants at will.
"I want to go out." The maid, who was being very careful, suddenly saw Jiang Youyao stand up from her chair and utter this sentence.
"Miss, it’s really difficult to leave the mansion right now." Yinhua reminded her.
