"How dare you, I am the maid next to the second young lady, how dare you, a lowly and low-income person, talk to me like this."
As she said this, she tried to pull her hand away but failed several times. Instead, her wrist became more and more painful.
"You, please let me go..."
"Broken residence?" Jiang Shanshan smiled, "So this is how the Jiang family views us."
Although she had known it for a long time, it was really... disrespectful that a mere maid could order them around.
Bad mood!
As long as she is in a bad mood, someone will be in trouble.
The maid saw that she couldn't free her hand, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't hold on to the small box containing the bracelet.
There was a snapping sound, and the box fell to the ground. The jade bracelet inside couldn't withstand the beating, and shattered with the sound.
The maid was dumbfounded, feeling as if the sound was hitting her heart.
My head was buzzing for a moment.
Jiang Shanshan only glanced and raised his eyebrows, "You actually dared to break the bracelet given by Mrs. Jingguo, how brave you are!"
"You, no, not me, obviously...it was obviously you who grabbed my hand and hurt me, so I accidentally..."
When she said this, she immediately reacted, "It's you who ruined the house. It's none of my business."
"Did I smash it?" Jiang Shanshan smiled, "Why did I smash such an expensive thing without incident, and it was given by Mrs. Jingguo."
As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and kicked her on the socket of her knees, forcing her to kneel down.
The maid was a little panicked. She had never thought about destroying it, but she just wanted to get it back. After all, how could a poor person want such a valuable thing.
I just didn't expect it to fall. If it was given by ordinary people, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it was given by Mrs. Jingguo.
Now that it's ruined, she must bear the responsibility.
There is no other choice but to deny it.
"I obviously just wanted to take it for a look, but you didn't allow me to touch it. You just threw it and it was blamed on me. I will ask the second lady to make the decision and let her judge."
As she said that, she just stood up, but there was a heavy weight on her back, and she was stepped on again.
He fell to the ground and pressed his palm on the broken bracelet.
A half-worn clean cloth shoe suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The foot was raised and stepped on the back of her hand.
"ah--"
Jiang Mingxuan lowered his eyes and did not let go of his feet. He only said in a faint voice, "Pick it up!"
"you……"
The maid's face was pale, but when she raised her head, she looked into his dark and deep eyes.
My whole body felt as if I had fallen into an abyss, and my whole body felt cold.
She trembled and her fingers moved incoherently. Seeing this, Jiang Mingxuan took back his foot.
Looking at the hand again, a few pieces of broken jade were stuck into the palm, and the bottom was already a bright red.
She picked up the bracelet tremblingly and held it in her hands. Jiang Shanshan also relaxed his feet and looked at the broken jade bracelet she was holding. After thinking about it, she took it back.
"To be a slave, you have to act like a slave." She picked up a piece of the bracelet and looked at it, squinting at her, "Don't imitate those short-lived ones. Do too many evil things, or you may lose your life span."
The maid held her hand and bit her lip.
Jiang Shanshan was not very interested in her as a maid. Even if she wanted to do something, the real owner behind them would have to show up, so she greeted her brother and left.
Jiang Mingxuan, who was walking behind, turned back inadvertently, his eyes dark.
That was probably the most unforgettable shadow in this maid's life.
She crawled away and ran away, never thinking that just because she wanted to take advantage of two poor people, she would capsize in the gutter and end up like this.
No, she had to go back and report the matter to her master.
Those two people who have broken down and settled down must not be spared lightly!
"Sister, I will definitely buy you a better bracelet in the future."
Listening to Jiang Mingxuan's comfort, Jiang Shanshan couldn't help but sneer, "You think I'm just one of those shallow-sighted things, just a bracelet, I don't care."
Even if she wanted to, this bracelet wouldn't be broken at all.
She looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
I just want to take the initiative.
Like the original owner, she no longer wanted to live trapped in that small courtyard.
She wants to live openly and openly under the light of day!
Back in the yard, Jiang Shanshan threw the broken bracelet to Taohong, a money-crazed man, and asked her to handle it for her own enjoyment.
It's impossible to repair it, but you can try to decorate it with jewelry or something after getting a few pieces.
"Mingxuan, I have something to tell you."
After calling his younger brother who was about to go back to his room, Jiang Shanshan went straight into the house.
Taohong stepped back knowingly and took away the set of the four treasures of the study that looked good.
The two siblings sat down at the table. Jiang Shanshan did not hide anything and told her everything Li said to her.
He didn't even hide his guess.
"So!" Jiang Shanshan looked at Jiang Mingxuan, "Did my mother say anything to you when she went there? You were the last one to see her."
Jiang Mingxuan's expression did not change and he shook his head, "My mother was seriously ill at that time and could no longer speak. How could she leave any words behind?"
As for the things, except for a few old clothes, everything else had been turned over countless times by those people, so he simply burned them all.
Hearing what he said, Jiang Shanshan was a little suspicious, but after looking at his brother for a while, he couldn't figure out anything at all.
Tsk, so young!
No wonder the Jiang family would not let them go until death.
That's all, whether there is something or not, or what it is, that's not what she should care about now.
"Tell me, what is the relationship between Mrs. Jingguo and my mother? Why don't you go back and find out?"
Jiang Shanshan held up his chin and said, looking at his younger brother's face involuntarily.
Speaking of which, they are twins, and they look very similar, except that the boy's eyebrows are sharper.
It can be seen that her scumbag father is not ugly either.
I can't see the vague appearance in my memory carefully.
Jiang Mingxuan was stared at by her inexplicably, but he didn't care.
After just thinking about it, he said: "The Lin family was also a general with real power back then. It is not surprising that they had contacts with various aristocratic families in Beijing."
"That's right, but I heard that mother had a childhood sweetheart who was the fiancé of some kind of first son."
Jiang Mingxuan tilted his head, "I haven't mentioned this girl much, but I know this person. It was because of the Xue family that so many people were implicated."
When he said this, he didn't know what he was feeling, resentment, hatred, and anger, but these were all useless.
He also knows that those who are most to blame today are those traitors.
However, if it were not for the Xue family, his mother would not be like this, even without them.
Otherwise, with his mother's pride, how could he have endured hardship for many years and finally died.
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Mingxuan looked up and saw his sister approaching. He paused and wondered: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shanshan's eyes are curved into crescent moons, which is extremely beautiful.
"It's nothing, I just feel that our Mingxuan knows so much."
"Ahem...these ladies all mentioned it before, and you are also here."
Jiang Shanshan was slightly stunned, "Really! Then why don't I remember what I was doing?"
do what?
Jiang Mingxuan looked at her, wondering what else he could do.
When I was a child, I would dig up soil and plant flowers every day, and I would squeeze people with mud. Every time I came back, I would hug him and rub him with my hands covered with mud. I could never sit still while reading, and I would fall asleep during most of the lectures.
They are obviously identical twins, so why are they so different!
