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

Chapter 515: As if Provoked

Xiao Yue has been feeling unhappy because of what Xiao Ling said before.

Although she did not go to see Jiang Suining again, she had been sending people to follow the news. Last night she heard that the case had been investigated clearly, and Jiang Suining was not only released but also promoted. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

I can't say I'm happy, but I don't really want anything to happen to Jiang Suining.

With mixed feelings, Xiao Yue came here immediately after learning that Jiang Suining had entered the palace to take up a post.

Looking at the four people bowing, Xiao Yue said indifferently: "Everyone, get up."

As she spoke, even Xiao Yue herself was unaware that her princess style had become more and more complete.

After several people stood up, Lu Yan asked first: "I wonder if the princess has come here suddenly, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious. I just heard that Lady Jiang, no, I should say Lady Gu, has returned to the palace to take up her duties, so I came to take a look."

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I have already expressed to His Majesty that I hope to remain in the Jiang family, so Princess, just call me Jiang Suining as before."

"Why not change your identity to Gu's daughter?" Xiao Yue was puzzled.

Now the case has been investigated clearly, proving that Jiang Suining's father was wrongly wronged. I heard that he will be posthumously honored soon. In this case, being the daughter of the Gu family would at least mean being an official's wife. Although her father is dead, it is better than being a merchant's daughter.

"My father has passed away, and I have lived in the Jiang family for many years. I am used to it. Whether it is Gu or Jiang, there is not much difference. I will just keep it as it is now."

Jiang Suining answered calmly, and there was no trace of problem in her tone, but she could vaguely sense from Xiao Yue's words that she looked down on her identity as a merchant girl.

No, perhaps it cannot be said to be contempt. It is a change in attitude from what I said before about the merchant girl, or perhaps it is a feeling that he has gradually merged with the thoughts of the people around him.

The special feeling that Xiao Yue had when they first met seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

After listening to Jiang Suining's answer, Xiao Yue did not ask any more questions. She just nodded. After a moment's silence, she glanced at the other three people.

"You guys should leave first. This princess wants to talk to Lady Jiang alone."

Lu Yan, Wei Yao and the others looked at each other and quickly responded and left.

As the few people left, Xiao Yue also signaled Qiao Fu, who was following behind her, to retreat, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"I wonder if the princess has anything to say to this humble official?" Jiang Suining lowered his head slightly, his attitude respectful but not humble.

Xiao Yue frowned and looked at Jiang Suining. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Should she directly ask her if she was using her as a pawn?

If she really asked such a question, no matter what the answer was, she would lose all face.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yue asked back, "Don't you have anything to tell this princess?"

Jiang Suining raised his head and looked at Xiao Yue with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean, Princess?"

"Jiang Suining, you are now a female official and have been promoted to the sixth rank, but don't forget that I was the one who told you about the female official from the beginning, and my goal is not just this. Now that you are in a good position, have you ever thought about how you can help me with the things I wanted to do before?"

Xiao Yue's tone was cold and a little bit angry.

However, this anger was due to the fact that he was indeed unhappy in his heart, and it was also deliberately used to scare Jiang Suining.

"Princess, I have said before that many things need to be done slowly. As for what you have envisioned, according to the current situation, it is too difficult to realize it immediately, but..."

"Don't try to shirk your responsibility here." Xiao Yue interrupted Jiang Suining's words directly. "This princess has seen that you are very capable. You have overturned all the old cases, and the third brother is dead. You can do such difficult things. As for promoting women's academies and letting women work independently to support themselves, what is so difficult about it for you? Miss Jiang, can't you do it, or are you unwilling to work for this princess?"

The majesty and unhappiness in Xiao Yue's tone became stronger. Over this period of time, she had already learned how to use her status and the imperial power behind her to oppress others.

Jiang Suining was indeed very powerful, and precisely because of this, she had to be clearly used by him, driven by him, and become his assistant.

Although he had noticed that Xiao Yue was different from before, Jiang Suining couldn't help but frown when he heard the other party's sharp and even coercive words.

"Thank you for the compliment, Third Princess, but I have to say that you think too highly of me. Looking at the entire Beiyang Kingdom, and even the entire world, the situation of women is not formed overnight, so if you want to change it, it is impossible to just..."

"That's enough." Xiao Yue interrupted Jiang Suining, "You've said this before, and I don't want to hear it again. I hope you can come up with a practical solution instead of making excuses like this. If you continue to procrastinate like this, don't blame me for being merciless."

The gentle look on Jiang Suining's face faded, and turned into a normal expression that could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

She looked directly at Xiao Yue, and after a moment she asked in confusion, "Princess, please forgive me, but I have something I don't understand."

"what's up?"

"It seems that I have never promised Princess that I would help you achieve the subsequent goals, and I have never promised these things. I am afraid that the delay mentioned by the Princess is not accurate."

Not right.

Although Xiao Yue had wild ideas and was eager for success before, the words she said just now were full of anger.

Also, although I had promised to help her become famous before, I had never mentioned anything else. Xiao Yue seemed to be deliberately confusing this point, trying to make myself her right-hand man, or a subordinate who followed her orders, and she was very eager to do so.

As if stimulated or provoked by something...

Xiao Yue originally wanted to rely on her status and the words she had just said to overwhelm Jiang Suining, but she didn't expect that the other party was not afraid to obey her orders, but directly refuted her.

For a moment, his expression became even uglier.

"Jiang Suining, you are so brave. I am the fifth princess. Even if you are promoted by your father and become a sixth-rank female official, do you think you are qualified to speak like this in front of me?"

"I have no intention of offending the princess. I am merely expressing my doubts. If the princess is unhappy about this, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Having said that, Jiang Suining knelt down, looking ready to be dealt with.

Xiao Yue felt like she had punched cotton. She could see that although Jiang Suining knelt down to apologize, he did not look panicked.

More importantly, Jiang Suining is the orphan of a victim and has just received a reward. How can I deal with her at this time?
