Chen Tiantian was stunned when she saw Yingbao, but she quickly recognized who the girl in front of her was.
The expression on her face changed several times, and she tried to smile, "Yingbao, you are in the capital too."
Yingbao glanced at her calmly, nodded slightly, and stepped out of the door holding her skirt.
Seeing Yingbao walking away without looking back, Chen Tiantian subconsciously followed her and said, "Yingbao, I, I have something to tell you."
Yingbao boarded the carriage and looked down at her: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Chen Tiantian looked around and pleaded, "Can we find a quiet place?"
Yingbao smiled slightly: "It's very quiet here, just as you said."
She also wanted to hear what Chen Tiantian wanted to say.
Chen Tiantian was very angry when she saw Yingbao's disrespectful expression, but she had to put down her attitude: "Yingbao, actually, you and I are cousins. My mother is your biological aunt, and you and Chen Zhao and Chen Wan are biological sisters."
"How do you know that?" Ying Bao looked at her coldly, with no emotion in her heart.
"I..." Chen Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, an expert told me."
In fact, the voice in her head had not spoken for a long time. Ever since she suddenly vomited blood and fainted, the voice had never given her any hints.
On the contrary, Chen Tiantian has recently felt that her body is getting weaker and weaker, her complexion is getting worse and worse, and even her skin has become much darker and yellower. If it weren't for the thick makeup on her face, she would not dare to go out and see people.
I intuitively thought that all this was because of what Yingbao did.
But she didn't know what it was exactly.
Chen Tiantian was surprised and delighted to meet Yingbao in Beijing today. She subconsciously wanted to seize this opportunity to find out everything.
She really didn't want to die. She wanted to live for a long time, and she had to live longer than that little bitch Yingbao.
"Oh?" Yingbao said with contempt: "What do you want to do by telling me this now?"
Chen Tiantian wiped her eyes with her sleeves and said sadly, "Your parents are gone. Now you and I are the closest relatives. Yingbao, as long as we sisters work together, our lives will get better and better."
Yingbao sneered: "I am doing fine without you."
Then his face darkened again: "Also, my parents are fine, you should put away your fake face and don't disgust me."
"You..." Chen Tiantian was so angry that she pointed at Yingbao and said, "You don't even recognize your ancestors? Chen Yingbao, your surname is Chen! Not Jiang! People like you who recognize thieves as your fathers will be boiled in oil in the underworld... Ah..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Tiantian was whipped twice on the head. One of the whips swept across half of her cheek, leaving a red mark that soon rose high.
"Jiang Yingbao! How dare you commit murder in the street!" Xiao Chengjun was furious and rushed over to attack Yingbao.
Yingbao narrowed his eyes, dropped the whip in his hand, quickly jumped off the carriage, and punched Xiao Chengjun in the face.
The punch made a whistling sound as it hit Xiao Chengjun's face hard, causing blood to splatter from his nose. He was knocked more than ten feet away and fell on his back on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Ah... murder!" Chen Tiantian quickly ran behind Han Yueniang, her hands and feet trembling, and screaming in fear.
Yingbao walked over slowly and looked at her coldly: "Chen Tiantian, who gave you the courage to provoke me again and again?"
If it wasn't in broad daylight and she wasn't afraid of affecting her brother's career, she would have wanted to kill them both on the spot.
Han stood in front of her daughter, looking at the beautiful girl in front of her as if she had seen a ghost, and said in a trembling voice: "How dare you hurt Xiao Chengjun?"
Ying Bao said disdainfully: "He's just a prisoner, so what if he gets hurt? Besides, he was the first to attack."
Mr. Wu said that the reason why His Majesty kept the Xiao brothers was because the Xiao family had complicated roots and could not be moved for the time being.
When the time is right, or if the Xiao brothers have made any big mistakes, they will naturally be settled together.
When Han Yue Niang heard this, she immediately fell silent.
Although the Xiao family was conferred the title of Marquis of Longevity, life was not easy at all. The housekeeper and servants in the mansion were all sent by the government. If the Xiao family wanted to eat some supplements or make some clothes, they had to get permission from the housekeeper.
There is no hope for my daughter if she follows Xiao Chengjun like this.
If it weren't for the mark on her daughter's face, she actually wanted her daughter to be a concubine of a powerful official. It would be better than following Xiao Chengjun and suffering hardships for no apparent reason.
Yingbao looked the mother and daughter up and down, sneered, turned around, got on the carriage, and asked the driver to drive away.
At this moment, more and more people gathered around, but no one dared to meddle in the matter. Everyone was shocked by the situation.
A teenage girl knocked a young man unconscious with just one punch. This is unprecedented and will never be repeated.
It’s better not to mess with such a fierce woman.
When Yingbao returned home, she saw Xinghua looking at her with starry eyes, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Yingbao asked.
Xinghua scratched her head and whispered, "Young lady, please stretch out your hand for me to see if it is swollen."
Yingbao found it funny. She stretched out her hand and turned it over and over for her to see: "Did you see clearly? It's not swollen."
Xinghua didn't believe it, so she held the young master's hand and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was no swelling, but the skin on the right hand was a little red.
That young man was so shameless that he even hit him until his nose bled, but the young lady's hand didn't even get swollen.
The next day, the old lady of the Luo family came to the Jiang family with her son, daughter-in-law, two granddaughters and one grandson. Mr. Wu and his wife and their son also came.
Everyone was surprised to see the yard full of potted plants.
"It's incredible that there are peonies blooming in this weather." Old Mrs. Luo pinched the peony petals to confirm whether they were real.
Wu Jiang smiled and said, "Mother, you don't know that Ying Baoer's hometown also has many flowers and fruit trees planted. My father said that it is a paradise on earth."
Old Mrs. Luo was surprised again. She looked at all the flowers with everyone else before going into the house and sitting down.
Chunniang and her daughter chatted with the guests, while Mr. Wu took his son, Jiang Jie and Li Xu to see the unfinished waterside corridor.
He stroked his beard and said to his son, "Why don't we buy a house nearby? It's better to be far away and live comfortably there."
Wu Shi nodded and said, "My son will go and ask the real estate agent if there are any suitable houses for sale around here."
The closer to the imperial city, the denser the population, and the smaller the houses, except for the courtyards of some noble families.
Moreover, His Majesty already has several concubines, two of whom are pregnant. If they give birth to princes, they will have to have a palace prepared for them. At that time, a number of houses of low-ranking officials and civilians will have to be relocated.
Wu Shi didn't want the house he had worked so hard to build to be demolished, so he prepared for the worst and decided to live here in peace.
Although it is inconvenient to go to work, I have a carriage at home, so it doesn’t take much time on the road.
Mr. Wu stroked his beard and said, "Da Lang, you are not young anymore. When the house is built, you should get married quickly. Look at those children of your age who are already married."
Wu Shi said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.
Mr. Wu was very pleased to see that his son did not object this time, and he looked at him with much more favor.
Yingbao chatted with Madam Wu and Madam Luo for a while, then got up to prepare the banquet.
Put the juice and fruit wine on the table, take out some fruits, wash and cut them, and place them on a large plate.
When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw that part of the dishes had been prepared. The cook put them in bowls and plates and placed them in the steamer to keep them warm before making the next dish.
Yingbao couldn't help frowning when she saw the cook and the coachman, one making the fire and the other cooking, both of them were very busy.
There are too few servants in the house, and the shortage becomes apparent whenever we entertain guests.
Fortunately, there are only two tables of people today, so we can barely handle it.
If there are a few more guests at home one day, it will pale in comparison.
