Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 157 7st

That was the first time Jiang Li met her sister.

At that time, she felt very happy because she had a new sister.

Later, she went to her sister's courtyard many times in high spirits to look for her.

Want to play with her.

But no matter how she knocked on the door, her sister refused to show up.

After exchanging a few words through the door, he sent her away.

At that time, she was very confused about this.

Why do her father and brother like her, but her half-sister doesn’t?

Despite this, Jiang Li often sent a nanny to bring some delicious and fun things to her courtyard.

I just hope that one day my sister will like her.

Now, Linlang has become her sister.

Jiang Li still found it unbelievable.

"Are you really Jiang Yi? My sister?"

Linlang laughed at herself, "Why, do you think I'm not worthy of being your sister?"

"That was not what I meant."

Jiang Li's pupils turned slightly, and she reluctantly accepted this fact.

After a moment of silence, she asked Linlang,

"The Jiang family's revival is nothing new in Jiangdu City. Since you know your identity, why don't you return to the Jiang Mansion to find us?"

"Looking for you?"

Linlang smiled softly for a moment, covering her lips with her handkerchief as if she had heard a joke, and said sarcastically,

"Why am I looking for you? I have never enjoyed the Jiang family's blessings for a single day, but why should I bear the Jiang family's difficulties alone?"

Jiang Li could roughly guess what happened to Linlang.

A prostitute who has no one to rely on but has an outstanding appearance.

If you want to survive in this world, you must endure more.

But how could she say that all the difficulties of the Jiang family were borne by her alone?

"When the Jiang family suffered, my father and brother were exiled to Liangzhou for eight years, and they suffered a lot."

"how about you?"

Linlang asked back, "You and I are both daughters of the Jiang family. Why was Jiang Cheng able to send you to the Shen Mansion to become the adopted daughter of the high and mighty Duke's Mansion?"

"And I...will be consigned to the prostitution register, and live a life worse than death in the Jiaofang Bureau every day?"

Linlang's eyes were red, and she said sternly,

"Could it be... because I'm a concubine's child and you're a legitimate child? How could Jiang Cheng ever remember that he originally had two sisters?"

I didn't expect that she had such a strong grudge against the Jiang family.

Jiang Li frowned slightly and explained seriously,

"I was less than ten years old at the time, and I was able to escape the disaster. My father and brother were already in danger, so how could they mediate for you and remove you from the list of confiscated items?"

"If my brother had the ability to save you, how could he just sit there and do nothing? You shouldn't harbor any grudges against them because of this."

Linlang laughed and said in a deep voice,

"You make it sound so easy. I shouldn't bear a grudge against them. As expected, no one will feel the pain unless they are whipped."

Jiang Li was silent.

She knew that whatever she said now would seem a bit high-sounding and easy to say.

She has been in the Shen Mansion for eight years. Although she has to be humble and submissive, she is still much better than Linlang.

Jiang Li could imagine how hard Linlang had been having these years.

Last time in the painted boat, she was actually involved with the prince...

No matter what happened in the past, she now knows Linlang's true identity.

We can't just watch her make one mistake after another and get stuck in this mess.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li stepped forward and held her wrist.

Linlang was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable with this sudden intimate behavior.

But now that the two of them are so close, it's a good opportunity to take action.

She gritted her teeth secretly, groped her fingers in her sleeves, and her fingertips finally touched the medicine powder hidden in the sleeves.

Jiang Li was completely unaware of the danger approaching and spoke softly,

"Sister, no matter what happened in the past, it doesn't matter who was right or wrong. What matters is that all the suffering is over."

"The Jiang family is now in a good situation, and your prostitute father and brother will also help you solve the problem. Come home with me?"

Stop hanging out with people who have bad intentions.

Don't wait until you've lost your way and it's too late to regret.

Her eyes were so clear and bright. Linlang hadn't seen such tender eyes in a long time and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The fingers holding the medicine bag also began to become stiff.

"elder sister..."

Jiang Li exerted a little force with his hands and said earnestly,

"No matter how dissatisfied you are, family is always family. We will not give up on you. We just hope you don't let yourself fall."

Linlang sneered. Is it her choice to degenerate or not?

"I can't go back anymore. I never planned to go back to that home!"

She shook off Jiang Li's hand, turned around and walked away quickly.

Looking at her leaving back, Jiang Li sighed helplessly.

Forget it, I'd better go home and discuss it with my brother.

"Girl, shall we go back?" Luo Zhi said.

Jiang Li nodded, "Let's go back."

Linlang walked along the path in the Imperial Garden, tears soaking her cheeks unknowingly.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the rest room.

There were no candles in the room, and the moonlight was not very bright, so it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.

Only the man with his face covered with a black scarf had a cold and ferocious light in his eyes, like that of a wild beast.

"Why? Did you soften your heart because you knew she was your sister?"

"I didn't, I just...didn't find the right opportunity." Linlang explained in a trembling voice.

The next moment, she was strangled by a pair of strong hands, and breathing became extremely difficult.

I heard the man's gnashing teeth.

"I hate women who are full of lies and sweet talk the most!"

Linlang was unable to break free, like a fish out of water. Every breath of air she took felt like a sharp thorn, pricking her and almost suffocating her.

She opened her mouth to breathe and begged for mercy in a low voice.

"...I...I accidentally...I hope you will forgive me..."

The man snorted coldly, then loosened his hand, and thin moonlight shone in through the gap in the window frame.

The man had his black hair tied up high and a snow-white jade crown that shone brightly under the moonlight.

Amid Linlang's violent coughing, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom.

He wiped his fingers clean one by one carefully as if he had touched something dirty.

"As everyone knows, you are the prince's man, and this matter must be done by you."

His voice was very soft, but it made Linlang's hair stand on end and cold sweat suddenly appeared on her back.

"You have failed too many times. My patience is limited. Useless and incompetent people should not live in this world!"

Linlang bowed and said,

"Please give Linlang another chance, next time... Linlang will definitely do what you ask!"

In the dim night, a very light laugh was heard.

"Okay, there are only seven days left until your next attack of the poison. If you can't do it again, you don't have to live in this world anymore!"

The man threw his handkerchief on the ground and walked away.

Linlang placed her hands on her chest, then sat down on the ground against the door, gasping for a long while before she calmed down her chaotic emotions.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out the packet of powder from her sleeve.

Perhaps, she really shouldn't be soft-hearted towards that so-called sister anymore.

Being soft on her means being cruel to yourself.
