Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Everything Changed When Jiang Seventh Daughter Returned

Translator: 549690339

Madam Hua and her daughter were in the room, selecting from a large table of silk, satin, and jewelry, preparing for the selection in two days.

Although it was not a grand selection, it was for the handsome and beautiful young Prince of Yu to choose his Main Consort, which was much more exciting than the selection for the Emperor’s consorts.

Jiang Yuan was full of confidence in her beauty and was determined to dress herself up in a manner unrivaled by her peers, seizing Prince Yu’s heart in one fell swoop.

Madam Hua naturally hoped that her daughter would stand out, and had already taken out all the valuable items from the warehouse and bought many more outside so that her daughter could choose freely.

When Jiang Ruobai entered, he saw this scene.

It was normal for women to like silk, satin, and jewelry, and the Jiang Family had the ability and willingness to spoil and indulge them.

Jiang Ruobai used to see this scene often, but it never really affected him.

But now, he couldn’t help but think of his youngest daughter.

When he had found her, she was living in a broken house, wearing old clothes, and her face was filled with the color of hardship. Jiang Ruobai’s heart trembled slightly at the thought.

He walked in with a serious face, and Madam Hua and her daughter quickly stood up to greet him.

Although Madam Hua was over thirty, she still looked fresh and charming: “Old Master, have you had your dinner? I’ll have the servants prepare for it.”

“No need,” Jiang Ruobai said coldly, “I heard that today, Seventh Miss sent someone to withdraw her monthly allowance, but you not only refused to give it, but also ridiculed and slapped the girl. Is that true?”

Madam Hua didn’t expect him to come to Jiang Ning for justice so soon and hurriedly smiled, “Old Master, I’m being wronged. I really didn’t know that you had already agreed. I have to manage such a large household, and the rules cannot be broken. I thought that Seventh Miss had just arrived and might be instigated by some troublemakers, so I took the initiative to teach that girl a lesson for her.”

Jiang Ruobai used to find Madam Hua charming and versatile, but today, he felt nothing but disgust: “I specially instructed the housekeeper to inform you. Are you saying that the housekeeper lied to me?”

“No, no, I was just too busy and forgot,” Madam Hua replied.

“Since you can’t manage the household affairs, you’d better not bother with them anymore.”

“What do you mean, Old Master?”

“From now on, the household matters will be handed back to the Black Bamboo Garden,” Jiang Ruobai said meaningfully, “As for you, teach Jiang Yuan the rules properly so that she can participate in the selection. Don’t disappoint me.”

At first, Madam Hua was both shocked and angry.

She had been in charge of the household affairs for many years, and now they were taken away from her just because of a newly found disabled girl.

How could she not be angry?

But upon further thought, the Old Master had specifically reminded her to teach Jiang Yuan properly and send her to the selection. Could it be that he had already arranged everything in the palace and Jiang Yuan had a good chance of being chosen?

As long as Jiang Yuan became the Main Consort of Prince Yu, what would she have to fear in the mansion?

With this in mind, Madam Hua concealed her shock and anger, and smiled, “Old Master is right, these household affairs should have been the responsibility of Madam. Now that Seventh Sister has returned, it’s only natural for Madam to recover as well. Tomorrow, I will have the keys sent to Madam.”

Jiang Ruobai said, “Go now, take Jiang Yuan with you, and apologize to the Seventh Daughter on your way!”

“What, apologize to her?” Jiang Yuan was surprised.contemporary romance

“What, do my words have no effect?” Jiang Ruobai said in cold tone.

Madam Hua hurriedly stopped her daughter, and said with a smile, “Of course not, don’t worry, Old Master, we’ll go right away. It’s only right that we apologize for the wrongs that Seventh Miss suffered today.”

Jiang Ruobai grunted, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Jiang Yuan, in her anger, smashed a jade teacup, “Ever since Jiang Seventh Daughter came back, everything has changed.. Not only did my father take away my mother’s control over the household, but he also doesn’t care about me anymore!”
