After Transmigration, Her Whole Family Are Villains

Chapter 271

Night fell.

Jiang Wan had genuinely caught a cold these past few days and was pitifully ill.

When ordinary people fall ill, their complexion worsens or their faces become swollen, looking quite unattractive.

However, when Jiang Wan fell ill, apart from her own discomfort, her appearance became even more delicate and pitiful, more fragile and beautiful.

Jiang Wan, known as Immortal Liu, attended various banquets and attracted many suitors.

Because of her illness, many young gentlemen came to visit her.

Jiang Wan didn't refuse them, because she knew that Chu Xi needed various pieces of information, and these sons of noble families would know many details that others didn't.

Although Liu Tong had become her sworn brother, he still felt that Minister Lu's son wasn't a good match.

Normally, Jiang Wan wouldn't allow such jealous fights to break out, but she was truly ill, her mind foggy, and she didn't manage to stop it in time.

Unexpectedly, because of this catalyst, Chu Xi actually confessed his feelings to her.

The ill Jiang Wan was stunningly beautiful, without her usual strength, fragile and pitiful.

Her illness made Chu Xi, who had been wavering before, face his true feelings for her.

Chu Xi felt that as a real man, it was normal to admire and like a woman, and there was no need to hide it.

If he couldn't even express his liking for a woman, that would be too cowardly.

With others fighting over her, coupled with her illness, it became a catalyst for their relationship.

They finally took a clear step forward.

Jiang Wan felt that heaven still favored her, always turning misfortune into blessing.

In her previous life, she became Chu Xi's concubine and entered the Crown Prince's Mansion, but never received a word of affection from him.

Instead, because of her aunt, the two were like an unhappy couple, though they liked each other, they were always separated by layers of misunderstandings, suspicions, and obstacles.

Today, Chu Xi had confessed to her.

Jiang Wan felt her illness improving, her whole being becoming much lighter.

As night fell, Old Lady Jiang had also been a bit anxious these past few days.

Now she lived with her only granddaughter.

For better or worse, she depended on her granddaughter.

Although she was puzzled about how Wan'er suddenly became able to perform tricks and know so much,

She wasn't blind despite her old age, and thought this might be the Seventh Prince's plan.

Wan'er was just a pawn.

Today, Wan'er seemed very happy, saying her cousin had confessed and made promises to her.

Old Lady Jiang thought Chu Xi wasn't bad. If they could add kinship to their relationship, it would naturally be good.

Looking at her grandmother, Jiang Wan said with some bitterness: "But now I have no father or mother, only you, grandmother. Even if Cousin Chu Xi likes me, I'm afraid the Seventh Prince won't agree to our marriage, and I fear my aunt will also object."

Old Lady Jiang's heart sank.

Indeed, if her family's child were to marry, a girl without parents would definitely be excluded, considered to have too hard a fate, too strange. But this was her own granddaughter, naturally everything about her was good.

"She wouldn't dare! Don't worry, my health is almost recovered. I'll send out invitations in my name, ask your aunt to come and preside, I'll host a banquet, let your aunt speak up. Yu Luan has always been obedient, she'll definitely agree to this marriage."

Jiang Wan nodded obediently, thinking about how in her previous life, her grandmother had also been on her side, feeling much more at ease.

As the grandmother and granddaughter were happily dining,

A servant came to report that there was a visitor, wearing a dark blue robe and an official hat, a fourth-rank official.

An official with rank naturally couldn't be refused.

Jiang Wan and her grandmother went together to receive the guest.

...

Night had fallen.

Jiang Changtian got off work on time.

Wei Biao drove the carriage to pick up his master.

Passing by a pastry shop, they stopped to buy some pastries before heading to the mansion.

Arriving at the Jiang mansion, it was very quiet on both sides.

Because both sides had been bought by Gong Qichi, only the neighbor's neighbor's neighbor was the Seventh Prince's property, which couldn't be bought, and now housed Immortal Liu.

Jiang Changtian would pass by Immortal Liu's gate on his way home.

There was a slight stench.

Fortunately, it wasn't sticking together.

But it was really quite a coincidence.

Thinking that Old Lady Jiang also lived inside.

Having been in the capital for so long, he should pay a visit. Old Lady Jiang would surely be very happy to see him. After thousands of miles, meeting again in the capital, life couldn't be more satisfying than this. Thousands of miles of longing, finally able to reunite!!

Old Lady Jiang would definitely be happy.

Neighborly relations should be handled well.

Jiang Changtian felt that as a junior, he should take the initiative to go and greet them.

Jiang "strong execution + no useless socializing" Changtian told Wei Biao to knock on the door.

Then, under the servants' reception, they entered the mansion.

The layout inside was even better than his residence.

The pavilions and terraces were more exquisite and elegant, looking like a lot of money had been spent on the layout.

Upon entering, there was a stream and a rockery. The rocks in the rockery were clearly brought from Lake Tai, very valuable.

The overall courtyard was also very pleasant.

Very suitable for young men and women to stroll.

At night, the lanterns along the path were lit one by one, winding and interesting.

Everywhere was beautiful, with a sense of ethereal immortality.

It had something special.

When Jiang Changtian appeared before Jiang Wan and Old Lady Jiang,

The smiles on both their faces froze.

Jiang Wan had just fainted and developed a high fever because she knew Jiang Changtian had come to the capital. She had barely recovered, and now she saw him again, and he had directly entered their home.

Old Lady Jiang, seeing such a face, also swayed, about to fall.

Looking at him this way, he didn't resemble Princess Huiyun, he should look more like that scoundrel.

Jiang Changtian looked at Jiang Wan, she seemed to be doing quite well. Although her face was a bit paler and her steps a bit unsteady, looking at her clothes, they were even more luxurious. Even in her sickly state, the accessories on her body were very valuable.

The bracelet on her hand was top-grade warm jade, white with a soft glow.

"I've come to visit Old Lady Jiang," Jiang Changtian said.

He presented a bag of pastries.

Just bought on the street.

Jiang Changtian looked at Old Lady Jiang's appearance, not at all the rich and elegant look from before.

Full of depression, though dressed luxuriously, she looked dispirited.

As if just wearing a skin.

Old Lady Jiang didn't want to be visited.

At this moment, looking at her spirited young son, it was like seeing a ghost, a lingering spirit.

He was born bad, evil.

"There's no need for you to visit. It's best if we don't interfere with each other," Old Lady Jiang was afraid he would go crazy, learning from past lessons, she didn't dare to speak harshly.

Before, she would curse loudly every time she saw him, now she restrained herself.

Jiang Changtian sighed:

"Mother, I never expected that after not seeing you for so long, you would have aged so much. It seems you haven't been living well. I'm really worried that in this state, you might have more misfortunes waiting for you. This isn't your most bitter time yet, in the future you'll become more and more miserable, more and more difficult."

Old Lady Jiang: ... You! You! You!

She had just recovered from her illness and was preparing to host a banquet for Wan'er, to properly introduce her granddaughter, and to invite Yu Luan to preside.

As a result of this shock, Old Lady Jiang's mouth twisted to one side, and she had a stroke right there.

This startled Jiang Changtian, who stepped back several paces.

He had Wei Biao take the pastries away as well, afraid of being accused.

Watching Jiang Wan frantically dealing with Old Lady Jiang, Jiang Changtian silently left with Wei Biao, not wanting to add to the chaos.

On the way back, no one saw them off.

Jiang Changtian had Wei Biao remove the rope from the middle of the small bridge they passed.

Don't neglect evil just because it's small.

In case Jiang Wan came over and fell, although she wouldn't die from the fall, small actions add up.

He had already figured out the rules of this world. If Jiang Wan was the child of heaven's will, he was only fit to be the villain blocking the way. His actions must match his role, otherwise he would face heaven's punishment.

In the previous life, his family was too well-behaved and rule-abiding, resulting in early deaths.

To do evil, one must accumulate small actions to live on.

Who isn't forced by circumstances?

Jiang "diligent villain" Changtian instructed Wei Biao: "The beam on that corridor can also be loosened a bit."
