The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"Mother, your words are too serious. How can I ask you to apologize? As for Sister Yan'er, I can forgive her, but before that, I want to ask you, just because I did a good job, should I be considered to want to compete with Mu Shi for the family property?"

Jiang Suining smiled bitterly, his tone full of disappointment.

"If that's the case, then will I be suspected again whenever I accomplish something in the future?"

"Sui Ning, it's not like that..."

"Mother." Jiang Suining turned his gaze towards Zheng and interrupted her. "I have treated you and the Jiang family sincerely and have never had any thoughts of competing with you. But I actually had such suspicion, and it came from your family, from your sister Yan'er, who deliberately slandered me. This is really hard to accept."

There was no questioning or blame in Jiang Suining's tone, only full of disappointment and grievance.

But the more they heard this, the more uncomfortable Zheng and Jiang Zhitong felt.

Jiang Zhitong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Sui Ning, you have been wronged in this matter. Don't worry, your father will definitely give you justice."

Zheng's heart tightened and she wanted to plead for Zheng Yan'er again.

However, Jiang Suining shook her head and said, "Father, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to embarrass my mother because of this matter, so let's just let it go. As for sister Yan'er..."

Jiang Suining paused slightly, and Zheng Yan'er looked at her subconsciously. She changed her mind and decided to kneel down in front of Jiang Suining.

She risked her life. As long as she lowered her posture enough and looked pitiful enough, then maybe her aunt would think that Jiang Suining was being unreasonable.

However, just as she was about to get up, Jiang Suining saw through her thoughts.

"Sister Yan'er, you don't have to apologize. Your knees hurt after kneeling for so long. Please stand up. I just hope that this kind of deliberate instigation and slander will not happen again. It doesn't matter if you don't care about me, but I hope you can consider mother and stop making things difficult for her."

These words were magnanimous and considerate, completely blocking Zheng Yaner's attempt to apologize and pretend to be weak.

She remained in a half-raised position, frozen there.

After hearing what Jiang Suining said, Zheng felt even more guilty.

Jiang Suining decisively took his leave and did not give her a chance to apologize again to ease her guilt.

In the end, all the servants were driven out of the Jiang family. As for Zheng Yan'er, although Zheng protected her, her monthly salary, which was originally the same as Jiang Suining's, was reduced to fifty taels per month.

This is what Jiang Zhitong insisted on. He said that although Jiang Suining had generously forgiven him, he still had to give some explanation.

Zheng felt extremely guilty and did not plead for mercy anymore.

In addition, Jiang Zhitong also issued an order that if anyone in the mansion dared to talk about the eldest lady again, no matter who they were, they would be expelled.

After this order was issued, not only did the previous discussions disappear completely, but Jiang Suining's status in the hearts of the servants in the mansion was also obviously improved.

"Miss, I never expected that my cousin seems to have a good personality and good temper on weekdays. She is always very affectionate when meeting you, but she actually did such a thing behind your back." Biyun said angrily.

He really said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. Now that I think about it, his previous affectionate attitude was probably just fake.

Jiang Suining looked normal, even with a slight smile on his face, "You don't have to be angry, she just shot herself in the foot this time."

Not only did she fail to instigate herself and Jiang Mushi, but she also had her monthly salary deducted, and even helped herself, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and established more prestige. I think Zheng Yan'er should be very angry now.

Biyun thought about it and nodded, "Miss is right, but I never expected that the young master not only did not believe those words, but also found out the truth."

"What do you mean I really didn't expect it, Biyun? Am I so stupid in your heart that I would become estranged from you just because of a few words from others?" Jiang Mushi walked over.

Biyun quickly explained, "Master, that's not what I meant."

"Okay, don't be nervous. I don't blame you. After all, I deliberately pretended to ignore my sister during those days." Jiang Mushi waved his hand and looked at Jiang Suining again, "But sister, you don't think that I listened to those instigations, do you?"

"What if I say yes?" Jiang Suining asked with a smile.

Jiang Mushi curled his lips immediately, "No, how can you not believe me!"

It’s okay for Biyun, but Ajie must believe him.

Looking at Jiang Mushi who suddenly became a little angry, Jiang Suining reached out and rubbed his head.

"Okay, I was just kidding you. I didn't disbelieve you."

"Don't touch my head, it won't grow taller." Jiang Mushi muttered, but he didn't push Jiang Suining's hand away. "Do you really believe me?"

"Yes." Jiang Suining nodded, "But I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."

Jiang Mushi looked at Jiang Suining, "So, sister, you also suspect that someone deliberately arranged this?"

That's right, since I can see it, my sister can definitely see it too, but...

"Since you've figured it out, why don't you investigate it? Why don't you just ignore it?"

"Even if we find out, what can we do?" Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi.

Jiang Mushi was puzzled and was about to ask further questions when he suddenly reacted with a start.

"Have you known for a long time that this matter is related to Zheng Yan'er?"

Yes, that must be the case. My elder sister knew that mother loved Zheng Yan'er, and she also guessed that mother would protect her, so even if she knew, she didn't care.

Jiang Mushi suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Ajie must be very disappointed. Will she become estranged from them from now on?

Looking at Jiang Mushi's expression, Jiang Suining smiled and tapped his forehead lightly, "Put aside your wild thoughts. I am not disappointed. But you will have another test soon, so hurry up and review your lessons."

Although Zheng was nice to her, she preferred Zheng Yan'er over her. This was human nature and there was nothing to be disappointed about.

Jiang Mushi touched his forehead and said, "I know, I know. Don't worry, I am very confident that I will do well in the exam this time!"

……

"Failed again?"

After the academy examination results came out, at the Jiang family's dinner table, Zheng looked at her son helplessly.

"I thought you had completely changed."

"Mom, can you please stop thinking of me when something bad happens? I said that only one person in our family passed this time, but I didn't say that I was the one who didn't pass."

Jiang Mushi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Yan'er leisurely, revealing an undisguised gloating look.

Ever since the last incident, Jiang Mushi's attitude towards Zheng Yan'er was no longer friendly. Zheng Yan'er also found several opportunities to ease the relationship, but none of them had much effect.

Jiang Suining looked at Zheng Yan'er and was a little surprised to see her sitting there awkwardly.

After all, ever since Zheng Yan'er entered the academy, Zheng has praised her a lot, saying that she performed well in the academy and was praised by the teacher, etc.

Zheng also looked at Zheng Yan'er following Jiang Mushi's lead and asked in confusion: "Could it be that Yan'er was the one who failed the test?"
