Chapter 320

People who are used to eating alone are like this, they cannot tolerate others touching even a shred of their interests.

"What are they going to do?" Jiang Sheng was a little nervous, "Are they going to make a move against us?"

Fengjing had good public security, and the prefect was also a fair and just old man. With the imperial family stationed in the imperial city, the Liao Family as a second-rate family did not have that much ability.

If it really came to confronting each other in court, they did not have the Fang Family's capabilities.

By comparison, it was more likely that they would make a move in business.

"Aunties, be vigilant these days to maintain Jiu Zhen Fang's reputation," Zheng Ruqian said coldly, "For any incoming goods that have abnormalities, it's better to throw them away than sell them to the people of Fengjing."

"Also, for the raw materials used for replenishment, you have to keep your eyes open to see clearly," Jiang Sheng added, "To prevent the Liao Family from bribing people to sabotage things."

It was too easy to smear the reputation of food supplies.

But they could do nothing about it and could only defend passively.

Jiang Sheng sighed, and reluctantly moved the tables and chairs with Zheng Ruqian to expand the storefront.

"She is not happy."

Jiang Chengyuan affirmed, "It must be because of the Liao Family."

"Who can be happy being followed around all day," Jiang Chengfeng muttered.

And there was more than one group of people.

Jiang Chengyu leaned against the wall without saying anything. Although there were carriages coming and going, hiding all the time was also tiring. At this point, she had no energy left to discuss things and just wanted to find a place to sleep.

But the etiquette education of a young lady from a good family did not allow her to sit or even squat on the ground. She could only stare blankly at what’s in front with a vacant look on her face.

The brawny men from the Liao Family still did not make a move, like a leopard waiting for its chance to pounce.

It was a figure who rushed hurriedly into the Wen medical hall and came out carrying medicine that caught Jiang Chengyu’s attention, “Isn’t that Xiaohuang?”

The personal maid of Jiang Chenghua, so what was she doing at the medical hall outside, and so sneakily?

This instantly aroused her interest.

"Cough cough, that's how it is." Jiang Chengfeng coughed twice, "The family doctor is on leave these two days. She was also caught in heavy rain last night and had a high fever. This medical hall's apprentice doctor is very good with prescriptions to reduce fever. She probably came for that.”

Jiang Chengyuan's lips tightened, his handsome face did not reveal any joy or anger.

Jiang Chengyu just rolled her eyes, "Here we go again, pretending to be sick again. She has been sick since April until now. Is she a seedling for being sick? Or is she just trying to stay in the Jiang House and not leave."

The words were a bit harsh. Jiang Chengfeng coughed twice again, trying to stop her mouth.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Just an interloper who refuses to leave the magpie’s nest. Claiming to be part of the Jiang House when she clearly isn’t. She probably hopes to gain prestige and wealth. I don't even believe she is sick,” Jiang Chengyu said coldly, “She stole someone else's life through scheming. Shouldn't she take the initiative to give it back?"

Jiang Chengfeng coughed louder and repeatedly gave her looks.

"Alright, don't cough your throat out." Jiang Chengyu ignored him, "Big brother already told you everything, what are you still afraid to tell me? I didn't expect aunt to do such a thing. I also didn't expect Sister Jiang Sheng to be so pitiful, that everything was calculated away from her. She could have been well-fed for the rest of her life."

Jiang Chengfeng shut his mouth.

No matter what, it was a fact that Jiang Chenghua had stolen Jiang Sheng’s life. Even her doting elder brother had turned cold towards her, that was also a fact.

One could say she was pitiful, or that she deserved what happened to her. Different perspectives would result in different answers.

But no one was her, no one else could taste the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy like she did.

"Sister Jiang Sheng didn't do anything bad when she came back. She even got the land deeds and gold back for big brother from aunt,” Jiang Chengfeng tried to ease the relations.

"If she didn't do anything bad then she gets to stay in the Jiang House. Let’s see what happens if she tries anything,” Jiang Chengyu yelled loudly, “Also, she got the land deeds and gold back to curry favor from big brother, not out of guilt towards Sister Jiang Sheng. She is a scheming woman. If I were her, I would have moved out of the Jiang House long ago instead of shamelessly pretending to be sick. And she used to bully Sister Jiang Sheng before, maybe she even incited aunt into doing those things. She is completely rotten to the core, rotten at heart..."

As she became more unscrupulous with her words, Jiang Chengyuan's eyebrows were also slightly furrowed.

Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly interrupted his sister with strong limbs and simple mind, "Alright alright, shut your mouth."

"I won't shut up. I think she should get out of the Jiang House in shame and leave destitute," Jiang Chengyu spoke viciously.

Jiang Chengfeng rubbed his forehead in headache as he recalled how his grandmother had once solemnly said that if Jiang Chengyu did not watch her mouth, she would suffer greatly sooner or later.

As her elder brother, he had to teach this type of child a lesson. His eyes turned slightly as he suddenly became serious, "Actually, you are not blood-related either."

Jiang Chengyu’s voice stopped abruptly. She quickly realised she had been tricked by her brother, "You are the one not blood-related, second brother you have problems, joking about this kind of thing."

"I'm not joking," Jiang Chengfeng's tone was heavy, "You were brought back personally by our parents. I was already five years old then and had memories. You were white and fat, very cute, just unlucky to have such unreliable parents... Big brother also knows about this."

Jiang Chengyu looked at him in shock. Beside them, Jiang Chengyuan was filled with complex emotions and sighed deeply.

"Do you still remember the jade pendant Xiaoxin brought with her? That was left by your parents for you, to facilitate finding your birth parents in the future," Jiang Chengfeng explained, "Also, your love for sweet food is a characteristic of Jiangnan people."

Jiang Chengyu was seventy to eighty percent convinced. She started to become absent-minded, "You mean, I should be from Jiangnan?"

"Yes," Jiang Chengfeng's face was full of grief, "Your parents planned to tell the truth only after you came of age. By then, if you wish to find your birth parents you may do so, if not you can stay in the Jiang House... "

Before he finished speaking, he had an sturdy young girl in his arms bawling loudly.

"No, I don't want that. I want mother. I want this family. I don't want anyone else!" Jiang Chengyu's tears flowed like broken beads, "What you said is fake. I don't believe it. I don't!"

The bonds in her bones, the deep and sincere trust was suddenly overturned. It was truly difficult to accept.

"There’s no other way Xiao Yu,” Jiang Chengfeng continued to add fuel to the flame "If my real younger sister is also found, remember to make way for my little sister and return all the gold, silver and jewellery you saved up over the years. In future, the Jiang House's fourth young lady will be her..."

Jiang Chengyu cried even more sorrowfully. Her heart ached and her mind spun. She hated that everything was just a dream, that when she woke up everything would return to normal.

Give way to what younger sister, she would rather die than hand over her parents to someone else. As for this brother, he could give way instead.

Wait, she was adopted not switched at birth. Where did this other Fourth Young Lady Jiang come from?

Jiang Chengyu suddenly stopped her tears and carefully thought it through before realising she had been tricked by her brother. "You lied to me! Joking about something like this, brother are you still human?"

Jiang Chengfeng's smile disappeared, "You were only tricked for a bit yet it made you so sad. Still refusing vehemently to hand over father and mother. Others are just as unwilling to hand over their relationships. Just as unwilling to leave in shame and destitution?"

If their closest kin suddenly lost their relationships, forced onto themselves, how many could easily accept it and move on so calmly.

Jiang Chenghua could not do it. Neither could Jiang Chengyu.

"But I'm not that bad to target others, pretending to be gentle and kind," Jiang Chengyu emphasized, "I'm also not that selfish to cling on to everything tightly when the rightful person already came back."

"Yes yes, you are kinder and more correct than her. It would be even better if you could control that mouth of yours," Jiang Chengfeng brushed her off.

Before Jiang Chengyu could make a din, the two siblings became serious again.

Because those brawny men made a move.
