Liu Yu wanted Jiang Zui to fetch some more water, but before he could even speak, the officials ordered them to pack up and prepare to set off.

Seeing the menacing soldiers, Liu Yu dared not cause trouble and had no choice but to let the matter rest.

Because of this, Jiang Zhou, Jiang Li, Liu Yu, and Jiang Hongsheng had no water to drink on the rest of their journey.

Even Jiang Hongsheng's concubines earned their own living by filling water bags.

Before long, Jiang Li got thirsty, but Zhao Xingyuan had run out of water.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Li went to Jiang Zui and asked him to give her a drink of water.

"Jiang Zui, do you have any more water? Hurry up and bring it out, I'm thirsty." Jiang Li's tone was imperious, as if Jiang Zui would bring out the water bag for him the next second after he finished speaking.

Qi Chen and Jiang Zui walked side by side. Therefore, after hearing Jiang Li's words, Qi Chen frowned, carefully looked at Jiang Li, and then turned to look at Jiang Zui.

They didn't have much water left; it was all that Jiang Zui and he had painstakingly saved.

Thanks to Jiang Zui's "cold constitution," he didn't suffer from heatstroke along the way.

With more than an hour to go before dark, no one knew when they would rest or if there would be a water source at their resting place. In this difficult situation, the water they had became increasingly precious.

He wanted to know what Jiang Zui would do.

Should you hand over the water, or refuse their request?

Although he didn't know much about Jiang Zui's family affairs, he was well-known for his deep impression of the mistress of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion as a wolf in sheep's clothing, a wolf in sheep's clothing with a hidden dagger.

She appears to be a loving mother on the surface, but secretly plots against her.

Almost everyone in the capital knew of Liu Yu's ruthlessness, but because of his family background, no one dared to speak of it.

Jiang Zui didn't answer Jiang Li immediately, but instead turned to Qi Chen and asked, "Ah Chen, do we still have water here?"

Qi Chen naturally didn't want to give it, and blurted out, "No."

Jiang Zui feigned helplessness and said, "Sixth Brother, as you can see, we're out of water too."

Jiang Zui's refusal instantly ignited Jiang Li's anger.

Jiang Zui actually dared to talk back to him?!

Damn it!

Who gave him the courage?

Jiang Li glanced at Qi Chen with disdain and said scornfully, "Qi Chen, you used to be the young master of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion, so I let you have your way. But now... you're the husband of our Jiang family. Don't you know the rules?"

He paused, then added, "And Jiang Zui, I'm your own brother, and you won't even give me a sip of water? How can there be such a heartless and cold-blooded person in this world? If I were you, I'd rather be dead."

Jiang Zui looked calmly at Jiang Li, who was baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

He's encountered at least eight hundred, if not eighty, people like Jiang Li who turn the tables on him and are so vicious and ruthless.

Dealing with this kind of person is simple: just fight them.

Before Jiang Zui could even make a move, Qi Chen interrupted, shouting, "Rules? Since you talk about rules, then I'll explain them to you properly."

You said you were my husband's younger brother, but I've never heard you call my husband "brother" before.

You keep calling out my husband's name. Is it the rule in your Jiang family to address your elder brother by his name?

I find such rules difficult to agree with.

Furthermore, your Jiang family is already in such a state, what kind of ridiculous rules are you still talking about?

If I were you, I would have been utterly humiliated.

They look quite old, how come they don't understand anything?

"Knowing full well that things are different now than before, why didn't you go to store water when we asked you to? Now that we have no water to drink, you come to us asking for it. How can you be so shameless?"

"You...you...Qi Chen...I...I'm a boy, how can I store water with a man?"

You...you didn't go to get water either, did you?

Jiang Zui is my elder brother. I can call him whatever I want. It's none of your business.

"Who do you think you are?" Jiang Li looked angry, which made his originally handsome face slightly distorted.

"Hahaha, bro? Then why can the other bros go?" Qi Chen was speechless at Jiang Li's shameless explanation.

"Jiang Zui is my husband. Is it a problem if my husband fetches water for me?"

If you're so capable, ask your husband to fetch water for you, or even your own brother.

Oh, I forgot, your whole family is counting on Jiang Zui to fetch water all by himself. How shameless of you!

Jiang Li's expression was ferocious as she roared at Jiang Zui, "Jiang Zui, can't you control Qi Chen? I don't want to talk to you right now, hurry up and call out the water pouch."

Jiang Li's matter-of-fact tone made Qi Chen chuckle. "If you don't want to talk, then shut up."

"I wasn't talking to you, Jiang Zui. Say something! Who's going to give it to me or not? If you don't give it to me, I'll call my mother, no, I'll call Xingyuan to come and ask for it."

Jiang Li pretended to suddenly realize something and said, "By the way, Qi Chen, do you know who Xingyuan is? He's Jiang Zui's sweetheart."

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Qi Chen instantly shot a cold glare at Jiang Zui, his eyes filled with questioning and anger.

Seeing Qi Chen's fierce expression, Jiang Zui couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking to himself:

Why is it still the same as the last world?

So jealous.

After learning about his relationship with Yu Miao in the previous world, Ji Qiyin held a grudge and tormented him repeatedly, almost draining him dry.

The world remains unchanged.

Although Qi Chen was angry, he still forced a smile and said, "My sweetheart? My husband... how could I not know you had someone you loved?"

Jiang Zui gently comforted him, "How could you not know? Aren't you the one I love?"

Upon hearing Jiang Zui's words, Qi Chen, like a victorious rooster, raised his head and said arrogantly, "Did you hear that?"

Jiang Li frowned, looking incredulous.

Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Jiang Zui is hopelessly in love with Zhao Xingyuan.

Every time he mentioned Zhao Xingyuan, she would agree to his requests.

Can...

Now....

He realized that Jiang Zui was afraid to tell the truth because of Qi Chen.

After thinking it through, Jiang Li said sarcastically, "Qi Chen, you actually believe Jiang Zui's nonsense. Jiang Zui and Xing Yuan grew up together since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts and each other's first love."

Jiang Zui dotes on Xing Yuan, giving her whatever she wants. Xing Yuan wanted to eat Xiang Man Lou's braised duck, but only ten servings of braised duck are available each day.

In order to let Xingyuan-ge eat braised duck, Jiang Zui would get up early in the morning and wait in front of Xiangmanlou, just to buy braised duck.

Did you know? The jade pendant that Jiang Zui gave to Xing Yuan as a token of their love was actually left by his mother specifically for her son-in-law.

Just yesterday, the night before your wedding with Jiang Zui, the two of them met. So... you also believe that Jiang Zui doesn't like Xing Yuan?

Jiang Li never considered that saying Jiang Zui and Zhao Xingyuan had an affair in front of everyone would damage Zhao Xingyuan's reputation; instead, she had a smug expression on her face.
