The Chi family had originally found their young miss, Chi Yao, as a consolation because their daughter had gone missing. How could they start to favor one over the other just because their original daughter had been found?
'My Miss was bullied, but no one helped her… Just like back then…'
Thinking of this, Granny Jiang wiped the tears that had fallen from her eyes.
"Young Miss, this old servant is back. This servant will help you and definitely won't let Young Miss be bullied..." Granny Jiang said with heartache.
"I knew that mother is the best!"
Granny Jiang looked at the innocent Chi Yao and thought of Chi Yang, who refused to accept any grievances and even disrespected the elder sister by entering first.
She sighed in her heart.
'Chi Yang was the original young miss of the residence, could I even make the Chi residence chase her out?'
Although Granny Jiang said that she wouldn't let Chi Yao be bullied, she also didn't want to be bullied either.
If she were ever to cross paths with Chi Yang, she would rather hide and never meet her again. If she didn't meet her, she wouldn't be bullied.
"Miss, we have to maintain our titles here. If we ever see Chi Yang in the future, we should avoid her to prevent any mishaps," Granny Jiang knew that Chi Yao wouldn't listen to her advice, but she still said it.
Chi Yao didn't expect Granny Jiang to give her any ideas. After all, Granny Jiang was always timid. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been bullied so badly by her husband's family.
She just wanted Granny Jiang to run errands for her.
"Mother, I understand what you're saying. I just want to gain some favor from the Chi family. I'm only the adopted daughter of the Chi family now, so the love they have for me is naturally not as good as before. You can feel it too, right?" Chi Yao looked up at Granny Jiang and guided her patiently.
Granny Jiang thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case. The little servant girls who had been worshiping her in the manor before did not even greet her when she returned home.
"Miss, what do you think we should do?" Granny Jiang asked.
Chi Yao counted the days. It was almost time.
Therefore, she told Granny Jiang everything that Hupo had seen. Granny Jiang was shocked.
"She really is a girl from the countryside. No noble lady would do such a thing! So, what should we do, Young Miss?"
Chi Yao didn't expect Granny Jiang to be so understanding.
"There's nothing difficult to do. Tomorrow, you can just lie that she hasn't returned from her trip and barge into that bookshop. The rest will be left to the Chi family's servants and soldiers..."
When that time comes, Chi Yang's reputation would be ruined.
Being chased out of the residence was a light punishment.
Just thinking about it made Chi Yao's lips curl up uncontrollably.
Hearing this, Granny Jiang suddenly had another thought... 'If… It's really as the Young Miss said… If not for the love incense… Then why not… Once and for all?'
Granny Jiang, who had always been timid and afraid of trouble, just thought about it and her heart started to pound against her chest. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to speak.
'Would Miss think that she was vicious?'
Chi Yao looked at the sweaty Granny Jiang, opening and closing her mouth, hesitating whatever she wanted to say. She couldn't help but mock her in her heart. With such guts, she might as well go down and accompany her poor daughter.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Chi Yao asked gently.
Granny Jiang looked at the young lady who was so gentle to her. She steeled her heart and shared her thoughts.
"Miss, how about we catch her cheating instead?"
"Think about it carefully. If..."
Chi Yao looked up at Granny Jiang in surprise. Was this something an ignorant woman could say?
However, these words were very helpful to her.
Why didn't she think of it herself? What was her original intention?
Wasn't it to make Chi Yang disappear from this world?
"Then what should I do?" Chi Yao asked.
"Miss, why don't we do this…" Granny Jiang whispered into Chi Yao's ear.
