"You damned woman, you slut, why don't you just die, why don't you just die?"
Jiang Feixue, the usually noble and elegant eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was completely provoked by the upcoming wedding of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess in a month. Her charming and beautiful features were filled with anger and hatred.
The small hall of Mei Yaxuan was in complete disarray, with many valuable items smashed.
None of the maids or servants dared to speak; they all knelt on the ground. Some were even scratched by flying shards of metal, but they dared not move an inch.
Jiang Feixue went crazy for a while, then got tired and sat down to the side, panting heavily.
The small hall was completely silent; without the young lady's orders, no one dared to move.
Just then, a concerned voice rang out from outside the door: "Xue'er, what's wrong with you this time?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Liu, the First Madam, walked in from outside the door. She glanced at the things on the ground, looked at the servants of Meiya Courtyard kneeling on the ground, and waved for them to get up.
"Pack your things carefully."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The First Madam had arrived. That was good. The group quickly cleaned up the mess in the small hall and soon left.
Inside the small hall, all was quiet. Madam Liu dismissed the servants who were attending to her, leaving only the mother and daughter to talk.
"Xue'er, what are you doing?"
"mother?"
Jiang Feixue's face was full of grievances. Her beautiful face was suddenly moist with tears, and her dark eyes rolled down her cheeks. She was like a pear blossom in the rain, completely different from the fierce and angry girl she was just a moment ago. At this moment, she was just a wronged little girl.
Madam Liu reached out and embraced her daughter. How could a mother not know her daughter's feelings? Her daughter had liked the Crown Prince since she was a child, so she had always worked very hard. As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she could have lived a life of luxury, but she chose to endure hardship and work hard for the man she loved, just so that one day she could be worthy of such a noble man.
But in the end, all her efforts came to nothing, how could she not feel resentment and blame?
It's all her fault. If she hadn't kept that slut and her child, her daughter wouldn't have suffered like this.
Liu felt deeply guilty, and her expression became even more loving and gentle as she patted her daughter's back.
"Xue'er, your mother and your father have already spoken. Even if there is no crown prince, there are other princes. Your father will definitely choose a good husband for you and will not let you suffer any injustice."
The First Madam comforted her daughter, saying that such an outstanding person as her daughter would surely be loved by any man she married and live a life of luxury. Even if she wasn't the Crown Prince, she would be a princess.
Unfortunately, as soon as the First Madam finished speaking, Jiang Feixue immediately jumped up, struggled out of Liu Shi's arms, and cried out in resentment.
"Mother, I don't want to marry anyone else. I only want to marry Feng Zixiao. I like him, I love him, and I can't live without him."
Jiang Feixue was in great pain. She had loved Feng Zixiao since she was a child. She studied women's virtues and needlework, rode horses and hunted. Whenever she couldn't bear it anymore, as long as she thought of the man she loved, she felt that all the suffering was worthwhile. She endured all this suffering so that one day she could stand by Feng Zixiao's side and become a woman worthy of him.
So from childhood to adulthood, her heart and her blood were inscribed with Feng Zixiao's name, deeply rooted in her being.
"Xue'er, but the Emperor has already bestowed the marriage upon us."
Madam Liu was also in great pain. It wasn't that she didn't want to help her daughter. She had set up that scheme that night to ruin Jiang Hailing's reputation, so that she could get rid of that woman with the help of the royal family and Fei Xue could marry the Crown Prince smoothly. But who knew that the fat girl was so shrewd? Not only did she see through them, but she also slapped them in the face, causing them to lose more than a dozen people for nothing and gain a reputation for being ruthless.
Thinking about all this, Madam Liu was unwilling, but no matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do. Now, Jiang Hailing was accompanied by people from the Crown Prince's residence. If they made any more moves and were caught, it wouldn't just be a matter of killing those subordinates, but the entire family would be guilty.
This is probably exactly what the royal family wants.
Lady Liu was no fool; she knew perfectly well why the emperor had bestowed Jiang Hailing upon the crown prince as a concubine.
"Xue'er?"
Before Madam Liu could say anything more, Jiang Feixue covered her ears with both hands: "I won't listen, I won't listen! If Mother really cares about me, please help me get rid of that wretched woman. As long as she's gone, I can marry into the Crown Prince's mansion."
Chapter 36 Entering the Banana Garden Study
Jiang Feixue was aware of the conflict between the Jiang family and the royal family, but she wanted to resolve the conflict through her own efforts and make the emperor and the crown prince understand that the Jiang family would always be loyal and would not rebel. She believed that the situation would be different in the future, so she could not let Jiang Hailing marry the crown prince, otherwise the Jiang family would be finished.
Seeing her daughter's outburst, Madam Liu knew she couldn't say anything more. Her face was full of helplessness and sorrow. She was truly afraid that her daughter would become hysterical, and in the end, she would be the one who would be hurt the most. Even if she married into the Crown Prince's household, was the Crown Prince really a devoted man? Loving a man so much was not a good thing.
Inside the small hall, the mother and daughter were arguing when Jiang Feixue's personal maid, Ziyue, rushed in and quickly whispered a few words to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu's expression immediately improved, and she waved her hand, "Let her in."
"Yes, madam."
Ziyue left, and Madam Liu sighed, took her daughter's hand, and tidied her hair, saying softly, "Mother will think of a way for you."
"Mother," Jiang Feixue nodded, finally satisfied with her mother's words.
Outside the door, Ziyue led the second young lady, Jiang Feiyu, in. Jiang Feiyu first bowed to Madam Liu and then greeted Jiang Feixue.
Jiang Feixue looked much better. Although there were still some tear stains, she had calmed down and regained her noble and elegant demeanor. She looked down at her second sister, Jiang Feiyu.
The thought that Jiang Feiyu, a concubine's daughter, actually had a sweetheart and the two were in love with each other made her feel a little jealous, but she didn't show it on her face.
Jiang Feiyu was secretly pleased to see her usually elegant and graceful sister looking so haggard, though she didn't show it on her face.
Although the two sisters appear to be close, they are actually at odds, a common problem in wealthy and powerful families.
"Sister, I have something to tell you. This is an opportunity for you."
Jiang Feiyu and many others in the General's Mansion knew about Jiang Feixue's desire to marry the Crown Prince, but they all pretended not to know.
Upon hearing her second sister's words, Jiang Feixue was somewhat incredulous, her heart filled with excitement, but she simply nodded gracefully, signaling her second sister to continue.
"My sister just received news that that woman will be going to the Banana Garden Academy tomorrow to learn some palace etiquette. Her wedding day is a month later. I think, in this month, surely we can deal with her. If we ruin her reputation, will the Crown Prince still marry her?"
As soon as Jiang Feiyu finished speaking, Jiang Feixue smiled, a look of determination rising in her eyes.
