Jiang Xiuying sighed as she looked at the rain falling. It must have started raining while she was having her chat with Jinah.
Her Servant opened a light blue Paracel she walked towards to former crown prince Su Cheng's estate.
She walked into the prince's courtyard that was soaked in the heavy rain. Her cold gaze softened at the sight of the women on the ground.
The women blood was being washed away by the rain; she had lost a lot of it.
The person's face was disfigured to the point that it was barely unrecognizable. Burns, scratches, cuts, this person was tortured for days on end.
Jiang Xiuying remembered what she asked her mother when Jiang Ya got married.
"Mother, do you love Second Sister?" Jiang Xiuying asked
"What a thing to ask, your mother? Of course, I do." Wei Jeie said with a frown.
"Really?" Jiang Xiuying said emotionlessly
"Yes"
"Why did you want her to marry the Crown Prince?"
"It would benefit her in the future."
"In what way?"
"She gets the title of Princess consort and will one day be Empress, but surely you know this."
Jiang Xiuying could tell her mother was getting upset with her questioning.
"Mother, you do know what kind of person the crown prince is right?"
"Of course, I do, he's a benevolent person."
"…" At that point Jiang Xiuying got annoyed, her mother wasn't taking
Jiang Ya's situation seriously. Her mother stood up.
"I'm going to the garden to watch your father teach your nephew swordsmanship."
Jiang Xiuying nodded her head as she watched her mother go. "Mother, look what kind of hell you're sending your Child too." Jiang Xiuying thought sadly. And looked back toward the garden.
Back to the Present.
Jiang Xiuying placed her fingers on the pulse of her beaten sister and sighed in her heart as she took off her coat and wrapped it around Jiang
Ya's drenched body. And then picked her up, she was to light.
Jiang Ya was a spoiled, arrogant, classic rich girl. But she was better off, Jiang Ya only schemed once against their younger sister that one time.
But even so, Jiang Ya didn't deserve this.
At least that was in Jiang Xiuying's opinion.
When she got back to the Jiang Clan's family home, her Father was waiting outside with a stern face while her mother was holding his arm with a confused look.
Both their expressions changed when they saw what Jiang Xiuying was carrying. Her father's face turned utterly sour with rage hinted in his eyes. While their mother who didn't recognize her daughter just stared with a frown.
"Xui'er, who is that"
"…." Jiang Xiuying didn't want to answer her and just stayed silent before moving on to her.
Wei Jeie only pouted because she didn't want to make a scene in front of their father while Jiang Luo turned around and followed Jiang Xiuying inside.
Jiang Xiuying laid her sister in her bed; a servant had long brought her medical materials. Including some pills.
Jiang Luo and Wei Jeie watched; Jiang Xiuying clean up the girl's face.
But, despite that, she was still barely recognizable. Afterward she crushed one of the pills and added it to a herbal tea before placing it the Jiang Ya purple lips.
And in just seconds, the all the bruises had wholly disappeared. Jiang Ya's beautiful face was restored, but she didn't wake up.
Jiang Xiuying didn't turn around, but she could her mother's quiet whimper.
"What happened?" Jiang Luo asked quietly.
"Prince Su Cheng" Jiang Xiuying said but nothing else because the rest was clearly obvious.
After Prince Su Jinah became Emperor with Jiang Xiuying's help. Prince
Su Cheng must have resented Jiang Ya due to their relation and retaliated against her by using constant abuse.
'Mother, can you still call that prince benevolent.' Jiang Xiuying thought.
After While, both of her parents left. She was leaving Jiang Xiuying to attend to her younger Sister.
The next morning, Jiang Xiuying watched Jiang Ya sit up expressionlessly out the window and into the sky.
"Good Morning…" Jiang Xinyi walked into Jiang Xiuying's room rudely without warning. But he paused when he saw Jiang Ya.
"Hey, don't you know how to knock," Jiang Rong said as she also walked in rudely and then paused when she saw Jiang Ya.
Jiang Xiuying arched her eyebrows at her two siblings that walked in and leaned back without saying anything.
Both Jiang Rong and Jiang Xinyi gave a moment, but both had stunned face's because Jiang Ya's prized cultivation was severed.
Jiang Xinyi was about to ask what happened but stopped when Jiang Rong pulled his clothes and led him out the room quietly.
