In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 22 Jade Pendant

Upon hearing Jiang Qingyue's invitation, Erqing's eyes widened in surprise, as if she had misheard. "Miss...Miss, you mean..."

Jiang Qingyue chuckled, "You heard me right. All three of you, once you've recovered from your injuries, come to my courtyard. Jiang Chuchu doesn't need such loyal and righteous subordinates, but I'd be more than happy to have them."

"I...I...Miss..." Erqing was so excited she was at a loss for words, "But, what about the Prime Minister..."

After her initial excitement, Erqing was also afraid of causing trouble for Jiang Qingyue.

"Don't worry, it's ***'s permission, and my father can't do anything about it. As long as you don't mind my situation, that's fine."

"No, no, no, how could I possibly find it distasteful? I'm overjoyed!"

After that incident, everyone knew they had been kicked out of the Prime Minister's residence. Although they knew the reason, no residence dared to take them in. He himself was doing alright, but the other two girls were having a hard time. Now that they had the chance to go back and didn't have to stay with Jiang Chuchu and wait on her unpredictable moods, of course they were happy.

For a moment, Erqing felt extremely fortunate that she had made the decision out of sheer passion.

"By the way, I'll tell them both the good news right away."

Watching Erqing limp excitedly run off to deliver the news, Jiang Qingyue finally smiled knowingly, a smile she hadn't shown in a long time.

After waiting for a while, the three of them stood in front of Jiang Qingyue again.

"Aren't you going to heal your injuries first before you go over?"

Erqing: "No need, we're tough and thick-skinned, we're almost healed."

“That’s right, miss, we can start working today.”

"Miss, please just tell us what you need..."

Looking at the three sincere faces, Jiang Qingyue ultimately did not refuse.

Mu Lan, who had been following behind Jiang Qingyue, remained silent, but she was also surprised by Jiang Qingyue's ability to win people's hearts.

She had heard about it before, so she just thought of her as a weak young lady who had suffered a lot. But now it seems that's not the case. Her initial resistance has softened a little.

The group of five returned to the mansion in high spirits, only to find Jiang An and the others sitting in the main hall, seemingly having been waiting for quite some time.

Upon seeing Jiang Qingyue, Jiang An was about to ask her something when he noticed four people following behind her, three of whom looked quite familiar.

"Who are they?" Jiang An asked, slightly displeased. "What do you take the Prime Minister's residence for? Making friends? Well, take a look at them, they're all shady characters."

Jiang An assumed they were Jiang Qingyue's cronies from outside, and seeing their attire, which was no different from that of servants, he felt extremely ashamed. "Someone, throw these irrelevant people out of here."

"Wait!" Jiang Qingyue stopped Jiang An. "Father, it's far too impolite of you not to even ask."

"you……"

"One of them was sent by *** to protect me, and the other three were brought in from outside at ***'s request to serve me. After all, my father didn't arrange anything for me, so *** still cares about Qingyue."

A few words silenced Jiang An instantly, and the words of criticism he had wanted to utter suddenly vanished.

What Jiang Qingyue said was indeed true, but he never expected that Jiang Qingyue would need to be served. After all, in his eyes, Jiang Qingyue had been alone for so many years and didn't need servants to wait on her. At the same time, he also wanted to temper Jiang Qingyue's personality so that she would come to him for help.

But now...

Jiang An is in a difficult situation.

When Jiang Chuchu saw the three people, her pupils contracted, and then intense hatred flashed in her eyes.

"Jiang Qingyue, how dare you!" Bringing these three people back is a blatant declaration of war against me, and it confirms that Jiang Qingyue was the one who ordered them.

Jiang Luoyu originally didn't want to talk to Jiang Qingyue anymore. After all, he hadn't gotten the better of her several times and had been suppressed by her instead, so he didn't express his opinion. However, when he saw Jiang Chuchu's reaction, he couldn't help himself.

"Qingyue, it's fine if you don't want to clarify the rumors, but what do you mean by bringing those three back now? You're pushing Chuchu into the eye of the storm. What exactly do you want?"

Although the three of them guessed that their return would probably cause trouble for Miss Qingyue, they did not expect it to happen so quickly, and they couldn't help but have some reservations.

"Second cousin, what's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet." Jiang Qingyue had anticipated their reaction and had already prepared a response.

"You think this confirms the rumors? On the contrary, you are completely wrong. This is the most powerful proof of the explanation."

Jiang Qingyue's words caused everyone present to turn to look at her, wanting to hear her explanation.

"There are rumors circulating that it's because they sided with me that they angered Jiang Chuchu, and in a fit of rage, Jiang Chuchu beat them with a cane and drove them away. If we let them stay outside, wouldn't that just confirm this rumor?"

Jiang Qingyue's explanation left Jiang An and his group speechless, as if there was nothing wrong with it.

"Now that I've brought them back, and they haven't been driven away, haven't the rumors been dispelled?"

"Sophistry!" Jiang Luoyu didn't buy Jiang Qingyue's statement. "If you really want to bring them back, that's fine. But like I said, if you step forward and clarify the rumors for Chuchu, I won't object."

Jiang Qingyue looked at him with amusement, "What's the use of you not objecting? In this family, Father hasn't spoken yet, so it's not your place to make decisions!"

“You…” Jiang Luoyu was speechless.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. You all continue chatting!" After saying that, Jiang Qingyue ignored their unpleasant expressions and went downstairs to settle the servants.

“Uncle, I overstepped my bounds just now, but I still want to say that if we let Qingyue continue like this, she will cause trouble for the Prime Minister’s mansion sooner or later.”

"I know that you mean well." Jiang Luoyu's words made sense, and Jiang An deeply understood. Jiang Qingyue was becoming increasingly difficult to control these days.

"If only A-Yuan were still here..." The current situation reminded her of Jiang Qingyue's birth mother. If she were here, she would definitely have handled the troubles of the Prime Minister's mansion properly, instead of it being such a mess.

He sighed and left.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Chuchu had a sudden thought and immediately came up with an idea.

She quickly said to Jiang Luoyu, "Second Brother, come with me!"

As she spoke, Jiang Chuchu led Jiang Luoyu to her courtyard, then went into the house, opened a hidden compartment, and took out a box.

"What is this?" Jiang Luoyu asked, somewhat curious.

Jiang Chuchu said with an "innocent" look, "Second brother, do you think if I give this to sister, will she reconcile with me because of this thing?"

This is something left behind by Jiang Qingyue's mother, hidden in a secret compartment; it must be a treasure.

Although she felt it was a bit of a pity, if she could use it to threaten Jiang Qingyue and get what she wanted, it wouldn't be a loss.

However, this villain cannot be played by himself; Jiang Luoyu is the best candidate.

As expected, Jiang Luoyu's eyes lit up when she saw the jade pendant, and an idea slowly took shape in her mind.

Jiang Luoyu took the jade pendant. "Don't worry, she will definitely agree. Let Second Brother handle it!"
