Minister Jiang looked at his wife and asked curiously, "Did she doubt anything? Did she agree to the marriage happily before I came?"
Mother Jiang nodded her head enthusiastically, "Of course she did not doubt anything. She thought that I am caring too much about her without thinking about your career or your position in the royal court. She said that the Fifth Prince loved her the previous time he saw her and she couldn't be more happy with this marriage. She also said that since this marriage can help your career, even if she did not like the Prince, she would marry him for your sake. Don't worry. You luckily got yourself a filial daughter."
Minister Jiang snorted at her words, "Hmph. If she is not filial to me, then what is the need for me to birth her? She should do everything she could to help me, her father, in everything even if she couldn't. Let it be in my career or let it be in increasing my power. She should help me and that is her duty as my daughter."
Mother Jiang nodded her head, "Yes yes. It is her duty to help you. But don't let her listen to these words. Or let alone helping you, she may even help to destroy you. Let us leave this place first."
Minister Jiang snorted once again, "Hmph. Destroy me? That girl? What is she to even do that? She should know her limits. She is my biological daughter and hence it is her duty to help me. How big of a heart should she have, to think about destroying me? Don't make me laugh by your silly ideas."
Mother Jiang just simply gave him a look without replying but that look is enough for minister Jiang to take back his triumphant smile and return back to a normal expression. He then cleared his throat and said calmly, "You are right, we should leave this place first. Let us go."
Mother Jiang smirked and nodded her head at her husband. Then the couple left the area towards their chamber.
As soon as they left, a dark shadow descended from the roof and looked at the backs of the leaving couple. She smirked and went inside Jiang Xiurong's chamber and greeted her, "Miss."
Jiang Xiurong raised her head and retracted her coldness to look at Hua who just entered her chamber, "Hua, did they both leave?"
Hua immediately answered her, "Yes miss. I entered as soon as they left."
Jiang Xiurong smirked at her answer, "They did not leave for so long? Hmph. They must be talking about my decision to marry the Fifth Prince. I can see how scared they are that I would suddenly reject this marriage. My Father is so worried about his position that he sent Mother to check up on me but he couldn't wait until he got the reply from her and came here by himself."
Hua nodded her head, "You are right, Miss. I heard them talking and Minister Jiang is really scared that you would reject this marriage. But he also couldn't let go of his authority and tried saying that you should do this as it is your duty being his daughter."
Hua reported every word that she heard from the conversation between Minister Jiang and his wife to her Miss.
Just this conversation between the Lady and her maid Hua is enough to say that they were well aware of every intention of Minister Jiang and his wife. The acting of the best Father and best Mother is not only done by them but also Jiang Xiurong continued her acting as the best daughter as if she did not know the real intentions of her so-called 'parents'.
Jiang Xiurong smirked as she spoke with disgust, "Daughter? Hmm, I should be a filial daughter to him as his daughter, right? Okay then. Let us show how filial I could be to him in the future days."
Hua then asked, "Miss, are you planning to do something now?"
Jiang Xiurong shook her head, "No. Let them enjoy for a few days from the news of my marriage to the Fifth Prince. Let them rise to the sky with happiness first. Then we can show how dangerous it is to be going to the higher positions by throwing them from there. As a 'filial' daughter, I should definitely teach a few lessons to my parents like how the parents teach their children, right?"
Hus laughed at her Miss's words as she nodded, "Yes Miss. Filial daughter's are responsible to show their parents the right path too. To show those right paths, you can give some small lessons like these."
Jiang Xiurong laughed at Hua's words as Hua too joined her. Yes, Jiang Xiurong will be the most filial daughter one could see in the country.
