Chapter 155: You Bitch, I’m Going To Kill You
Second Master saw Jiang Linlei’s unusual behavior and knew he had learned Ruanxi’s identity.
“Second Master, rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”
“Sir Jiang…”
Zhong Xintong called for a long time, but Jiang Linlei still did not respond.
She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Jiang Linlei’s gaze. “Sir Jiang, what are you looking at?”
“Miss Zhong, the boat is out of control. Sit tight.”
Zhong Xintong had not yet understood what was happening when she saw her boat uncontrollably crashing toward Ruanxi’s boat.
“Sir Jiang, I’m afraid…”
Zhong Xintong did not even think and directly fell toward Jiang Linlei.
At that moment, Second Master’s boat directly avoided his boat. Jiang Linlei was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. By the time he reacted, he saw a huge stone right in front of him.
“Sir Jiang, be careful. There’s a stone ahead.”
Ruanxi’s delighted voice rang out. Jiang Linlei was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Even though he had already seen it, the boat’s speed was really too fast. He simply had no time to turn around.
He wanted to jump onto the opposite boat, but Zhong Xintong was clinging to him like an octopus.
Bang…
The boat directly crashed into the stone, instantly splitting open with a big deficit. Jiang Linlei and Zhong Xintong sank into the water just like that.
“Help… help…”
Zhong Xintong struggled continuously. Ruanxi looked down at the disheveled pair in the water, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly. “Sir Jiang, do you need help?”
Jiang Linlei was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. “No need.”
Ruanxi was in a good mood. “I didn’t expect Sir Jiang to like playing in the water with his love so much. Then we won’t disturb your fun.”
After the boat rowed away, Jiang Linlei harbored a fire of anger in his heart. Once he got up, he would definitely kill her.
But Jiang Linlei did not know that he would no longer have such an opportunity.
By the time Jiang Linlei finally dragged Zhong Xintong to the shore, Ruanxi and Second Master had also just arrived at the shore.
“Look at what you’ve done, you bitch. I want to kill you!”
Jiang Linlei did not care that he was soaking wet and in a disheveled state. He only wanted to make Ruanxi suffer.
But before he could touch a single hair on Ruanxi, he was blocked by Second Master.
“Second Master, don’t be deceived. She is not the Eldest Daughter of the Zhong Family at all. She is…”
“Sir Jiang, I thought you were a sensible person.” Second Master’s tone cooled slightly. “Whether she is the Eldest Daughter of the Zhong Family, would the Zhong Family make a mistake?”
“Yes, Sir Jiang, this really is my sister who came back from the countryside…”
“Sir Jiang, bad news…”
While Jiang Linlei was fuming with anger, his guard came running over in a flustered panic.
Jiang Linlei’s face was ashen, uglier than ever. “What matter?”
The guard hesitated for a moment. Jiang Linlei’s face turned green. “If you can’t say something important, I’ll chop off your head.”
With murderous aura all over his body, where was there any trace of his usual gentlemanly demeanor?
Zhong Xintong turned pale with fear and did not dare make a sound.
“Sir Jiang, the granary is on fire. The Crown Prince is over there…”
“Useless, utterly useless.” Jiang Linlei was so angry his face tightened. Although he really wanted to expose Ruanxi’s true face right now, this matter was ultimately not as urgent as the granary.
He gnashed his teeth in anger. “Consider yourself lucky.”
After Jiang Linlei left, although Zhong Xintong had some doubt in her heart, she was soaking wet all over and it was not convenient to stay longer, so she took the Zhong Family’s carriage home.
After everyone had left, Ruanxi also felt it was pointless. Wearing the veil hat for so long was very inconvenient. Since Jiang Linlei had now recognized her, she did not want to wear it anymore and directly took it off, revealing that stunningly beautiful face.
“Second Master, it seems I’ve caused you trouble.”
Seeing her helpless expression, Second Master shook his head. “Now you know to fear. You were just provoking him earlier. I thought you had made full preparations.”
Although his words carried a bit of complaint, the expression on his face showed no difficulty, and even carried a hint of indulgent gaze.
“Oh, I see that Jiang Linlei definitely won’t let me off. Second Master isn’t taking the initiative to help, so I have no choice but to handle it myself.”
Her sly and lively appearance was completely different from her usual dignified and steady demeanor.
Second Master was both amused and exasperated. “Miss Jiang, our relationship has reached this point. Please speak plainly if you have something to say.”
Ruanxi naturally did not stand on ceremony.
“Second Master also knows that my Second Brother has a bad temper. Now that he has learned my identity this time, he definitely won’t let me off easily. If I get caught, that’s a small matter, but if it delays Second Master’s marriage, that would be a big matter. How about this: Second Master isn’t cousins with the Crown Prince? Then please ask Second Master to request a favor from the Crown Prince and lock up Sir Jiang for a while.”
Ruanxi paused. “Best to lock him up until after Second Master gets married.”
Second Master’s mouth twitched. “…”
According to Ruanxi’s meaning, if he did not do it, he really would not be able to marry a wife.
“Miss Jiang, rest assured. I will definitely ensure our marriage goes smoothly.” Second Master said affirmatively. “It’s getting late. I’ll have someone send you back.”
“Good.”
As soon as Ruanxi entered the Zhong Family, Zhong Xintong brought Old Madam Zhong charging into the courtyard.
“Grandmother, I heard it with my own ears from Sir Jiang. Jiang Ruanxi is not that country girl at all. She is impersonating.”
The more Zhong Xintong thought about it, the more she felt it was true. After all, the Jiang Ruanxi in front of her was really too outstanding in appearance, with not a single flaw to pick at.
“Are you sure you didn’t hear wrong?” Old Madam Zhong said as the two entered Ruanxi’s courtyard.
“Of course I didn’t get it wrong. If Grandmother doesn’t believe me, you can ask her.” Zhong Xintong stared at the person in front of her, a flash of smugness in her eyes. “I thought you were so capable. Didn’t expect you to be a fake. Hurry up and say who you are. Best to get out of our Zhong Family right now.”
As long as she left, wouldn’t all those things sent by the Yu Family be theirs?
The more Zhong Xintong thought, the more pleased she became.
Ruanxi showed no sign of flustered at all. “Old Madam, have you been listening to someone’s nonsense? Whether I am the Eldest Daughter of the Zhong Family, if you are unsure, doesn’t Master know for sure?”
Old Madam Zhong’s face darkened, but she wavered in her heart.
All along, it had been Zhong Ding holding up their family, and Zhong Ling was Zhong Ding’s daughter. He could not possibly fail to recognize his own daughter.
Seeing her hesitate, Zhong Xintong hurriedly said, “Grandmother, don’t listen to her. Sir Jiang couldn’t possibly have deceived me, so she must be fake.”
Powerful people with status—normally, even if they little officials like them wanted to see him, it was difficult. Now he could point out the truth for their family, so they wouldn’t be deceived.
