She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Babies born in February are considered unlucky.

So although the general and his wife next door did not mistreat her, it was obvious that they did not like her. When she was eight years old, she hanged herself at the Grand Madam's birthday banquet, covered in wounds.

It was later discovered that whenever someone was mistreated by their master, they would take it out on the young girl. It was common for them to not give her food, deduct her monthly allowance, and steal her clothes. Some of the bolder ones would beat her, pinch her, kick her, or even verbally abuse her.

They drove an eight-year-old child to his death.

How could Madam Jiang forget?

She was there at the time and even shed a few tears for the poor child.

Therefore, he was speechless when faced with Jiang Ruining's questioning.

A complex expression also flashed across Chu Jin's face.

Jiang Ruining sighed wearily, "If Madam thinks I'm wrong, then punish me! Finish the punishment as soon as possible, and please allow me to go back to my room to rest. My face hurts, my feet hurt, and I'm very tired."

Madam Jiang remained silent for a moment.

He ordered, "A disloyal servant who deceives his master will be flogged thirty times and sold into hard labor! Anyone who dares to disrespect the young lady behind my back will suffer this fate!"

The driver begged for mercy.

His mouth was covered by the guards, and he was dragged away.

Jiang Ruining's face remained calm, without a trace of joy at being protected.

He coldly swept his gaze over the group: "The day the master returns to the capital is just around the corner. You all better get your heads straight. Anyone who dares to slight me or disrespect me again, don't blame me for telling the master everything!"

"When that happens, no one will be able to save you!"

The original owner had always longed for maternal love, but fearing that her favored father would quarrel with her mother, she never complained. As a result, Madam Jiang was able to suppress and humiliate her with impunity, and the servants thought she was easy to bully!

Let's take the coachman as an example today and see who dares to step on her to praise Chu Jin!

The servants all understood that the master was the absolute ruler of the household, and whoever the master favored had prestige. So they all became respectful towards her: "Yes, we understand."

Jiang Ruining was fairly satisfied with their reactions.

After this incident, most of the servants no longer dared to say anything like "We have to do things for Miss Biao first, you have to wait a while" in front of her.

He curtsied to Madam Jiang, showing great courtesy on the surface.

He turned around and continued walking forward with a limp.

They didn't care at all what Madam Jiang's expression or mood was.

Madam Jiang clutched her chest, angrily saying, "Look at her attitude! She's getting more and more rude!"

Chu Jin held Madam Jiang's hand, her voice calm and gentle: "Aunt, the servants in the manor dared to slander my cousin because we didn't care enough about her. Her sharp tongue and willfulness are all just to protect herself from being bullied."

"You've been so good to me all these years, and I feel very safe. I won't be jealous or sad just because you love your own child! From now on, I'll stay with you and take good care of my cousin."

"She knows you love her, so naturally she won't make a fuss, right?"

Madam Jiang was overjoyed to hear this, and gently hugged her, patting her lightly, just like when she was a child: "You're so thoughtful and sensible! That wretched child... I must have owed her something in my past life!"

The Jiang residence is very large.

Following the original owner's memories, they walked a long way before finally finding "Chaohua Residence".

"Girl! You're finally back!"

A little girl with a pink, fluffy hair accessory the size of a thumb wrapped around her head sat on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard. When she saw her from afar, her eyes lit up and she ran over.

Seeing that her face was swollen and her body was dirty, his expression changed immediately.

Filled with righteous indignation, he rolled up his sleeves: "Did that young lady and her bastard bully you again?"

Jiang Ruining recognized her as Yun Mi, the original owner's personal maid.

Looking at that fair, peach-like face in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh.

The original owner bought the little girl, who was on the verge of death, from the troupe leader when she was five years old. She was saved and has been loyal to her ever since. She has some martial arts skills and is the original owner's absolute favorite and henchman.

If the original owner dared to give the order, she would dare to go all out to do it.

The master and servant ran wildly down the road to their doom, and no one could stop them.

According to the plot of the book, when the original owner was kidnapped tonight, she fought against three people but was defeated and seriously injured. Later, when the original owner continued to act recklessly and was retaliated against, she was shot through the heart by an arrow in order to protect the original owner.

Although she was a henchman for the villain, her low intelligence and tendency to mess things up always provided a lot of laughs, making her quite popular. When she was written out of the story, many readers "sent her off" (or "buried") her.

He pulled the little girl, who was clearly about to go out and fight, back: "I'm fine, I'm just very tired and want to take a shower."

My stomach feels cold and aches.

She must have started her period.

Yun Mi prioritized her master's needs above all else, carrying Jiang Ruining on her back as she steadily entered the courtyard.

This courtyard is the largest and best residence in the mansion, apart from the main courtyard.

The white jade-paved passageway leads directly to the main hall, where priceless South China Sea silk lanterns hang. The silk is a multicolored white that shimmers and sparkles under the sunlight.

A stream of fresh water was channeled into the southeast corner of the courtyard to cultivate half an acre of lotus pond, and even the railings surrounding the lotus pond were made of a single piece of Hetian jade.

The back of the seat even has its own small garden, planted with flowers for all four seasons, just for her to enjoy.

Needless to say, the interior is even more exquisite, with everything from the ornaments to the curtains being the work of renowned designers.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every object, and every ornament was made for her by her elders when she was young.

Such a good place naturally caught the eye of Madam Jiang, who used excuses such as "a daughter of a noble family should be generous and modest" and "Chu Jin has no parents, she needs to cultivate a good mood" to force the original owner to move out and give it to Chu Jin.

If it weren't for the original owner's outburst, threatening to hang herself in the courtyard, that Madam Jiang would have had to give up.

But from then on, Madam Jiang had another crime in her heart... selfish and stingy!

Thinking of the plot, Jiang Ruining felt a slight throbbing in her heart; it was the original owner's body grieving.

She gently patted her chest and whispered words of comfort to the heartbroken body: "Soon, it will be their turn to be sad."

Hot water was quickly brought into the clean room.

Jiang Ruining took off her clothes and soaked in hot water.

The warmth enveloped her, like a pair of gentle, large hands gently massaging her body, easing her fatigue and soreness, making her sigh with comfort!

Yun Mi noticed the purple and blue marks on her body and gasped in shock: "How dare you and that damned servant beat you like that!"

Jiang Ruining looked down following her angry gaze, and then realized that there were quite a few ambiguous marks on her body.

My mind went blank.

If word of this were to get out, Madam Jiang wouldn't even need to happily strangle her with a white silk ribbon to make room for her beloved niece; she would already be drowned in spittle from the outside world!

The arm not submerged in the water was suddenly raised and covered the little girl's mouth. Water dripped rapidly down her elbow, like a death knell: "Don't tell anyone about this. You didn't see anything, did you hear me?!"

Yunmi didn't understand, but seeing her mistress's serious and alarmed expression, she immediately nodded vigorously: "This servant didn't see anything!"

Jiang Ruining breathed a sigh of relief and asked her, "Why did you come back first?"

Yun Mi opened her large, clear eyes and tilted her head to look at her: "You didn't let me go out with you today, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Ruining searched her memory.

It seems that there is such a thing.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows.

Fine!

After awakening, the original owner went to sleep with Xiao Che, the great demon king, to test whether the plot could be changed. Afraid that the girl would ruin things, he didn't bring her along.

Even the original owner, who wasn't very bright, found her a nuisance, which shows just how incredibly stupid this girl must be!
