“The weather has been a bit hot lately, so I made you some refreshing pastries. Would you like to try them and see if they suit your taste?” Yu Jiaojiao pushed the pastries in front of him.
“I didn’t put in too much sugar, so they shouldn’t be too sweet.”
Jiang Xingyan understood and nodded, picking one up to taste.
“Not bad.”
Yu Jiaojiao smiled even sweeter, pondering how to open her mouth.
Then she heard Jiang Xingyan say with a helpless expression, “Just tell me what’s on your mind.”
Yu Jiaojiao revealed an awkward expression and said, “Do you know what the little princess likes?”
Jiang Xingyan understood immediately, taking a piece of paper from his hand and handing it over.
“These are the little princess’s preferences, they should be helpful to you.”
Yu Jiaojiao was immediately overjoyed, happily taking the paper.
“Thank you, Wangye.”
She also didn’t expect that Jiang Xingyan had prepared it in advance, and smiled.
Jiang Xingyan was a little dazed for a moment, and after reacting, he cleared his throat uncomfortably.
“If you have nothing else, go out first, I still have some things to do.”
“Then I’m sorry, I won’t disturb you.” Yu Jiaojiao treasured the note and stuffed it into her clothes before leaving.
For the next five days, she locked herself in her room all day, finally drawing a satisfactory design and preparing to start making clothes.
When Yu Jingjing learned of this, she was copying Buddhist scriptures, and threw her pen out in anger.
She couldn’t help but be angry. She was punished to copy Buddhist scriptures and couldn’t go out, and had become a laughing stock in everyone’s eyes.
Yu Jiaojiao was fine, she had gained Princess Chang’s appreciation through this opportunity. If she let her show off again, who knew what would happen in the future.
Thinking this, a glint flashed in Yu Jingjing’s eyes.
She called over her personal maid and said, “Go find my brother and have him come see me once.”
In the evening, Yu Wenbo avoided the others in the Wang mansion and went to see Yu Jingjing.
As soon as Yu Jingjing saw him, she threw herself into his arms with a wronged expression, and started crying without saying anything, looking very pitiful.
Yu Wenbo felt distressed and said self-reproachingly, “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have lost so much face that day. It’s all brother’s fault.”
Yu Jingjing naturally had resentment towards Yu Wenbo in her heart, but there was no way to say much.
Instead, she said softly, “How can you blame brother for this? I know that brother gave me ideas for my own good. In the end, it’s all Yu Jiaojiao’s fault. I just wanted to go in and get to know the noble ladies, but she used this opportunity to frame me and make me lose so much face.”
“Now I’m still confined. Brother, look at my hands, they’re all swollen from copying Buddhist scriptures these past two days.”
Yu Jingjing sniffed and continued, “Even if the confinement ends now, I wouldn’t dare to go out. I don’t know how people outside will look at me.”
“Your maid said you wanted me to help. Tell me, what do you want brother to help with? Brother will definitely help you,” Yu Wenbo immediately promised.
“There’s only one thing that can help me now, and that is to cause a bigger incident in the capital, so that everyone won’t talk about me,” Yu Jingjing said quickly.
Yu Wenbo quickly asked, “Tell me, how do you want me to help you?”
“It’s very simple.” Yu Jingjing curled her lips slightly, leaned close to Yu Wenbo’s ear, and whispered.
Yu Wenbo’s face showed some hesitation, and he quickly said, “But this is related to the little princess after all. What if we make things too big and get involved?”
“The fabric was given to Yu Jiaojiao by Princess Chang. What does it have to do with us if Yu Jiaojiao doesn’t take care of it properly? Moreover, if Yu Jiaojiao uses this matter to gain Princess Chang’s favor, she will be even more arrogant in front of her sister in the future. I will never be able to raise my head in front of her again. She will definitely hurt me with interest,” Yu Jingjing said quickly.
“Brother, I know I shouldn’t make things difficult for you like this, but I don’t have anyone I can use by my side now, so I can only ask you. Brother, just consider it as the last time your sister is asking you, otherwise, I will definitely be tortured to death,”
After leaving these words, Yu Jingjing gritted her teeth and was about to kneel down in front of Yu Wenbo.
Fortunately, the other party reacted extremely quickly and quickly helped her up, saying helplessly, “Why do you have to do this? As your brother, I will definitely help you solve this matter, don’t worry.”
Yu Jingjing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him with a smile, “Then thank you, brother. Sister will definitely remember brother’s great kindness in her heart and will definitely repay brother.”
“We are siblings, there’s no need to be so polite. Moreover, Yu Jiaojiao harmed our mother some time ago, and mother’s injuries haven’t healed yet. I also want to teach her a good lesson,” Yu Wenbo said fiercely.
In this world, the only people he cared about were his mother and sister, but they were both harmed by Yu Jiaojiao like this, how could he not hate her?
Seeing the hatred in Yu Wenbo’s eyes, Yu Jingjing felt even more pleased.
Let’s see how arrogant Yu Jiaojiao will be this time.
She thought for a while and continued, “Brother, please help me get the same fabric again. I want to find the most famous tailor in the capital to make gorgeous clothes, and then give them to the little princess, which will amaze everyone.”
“In this way, not only will Yu Jiaojiao be punished, but I will also gain the favor of the little princess and Princess Chang.”
Yu Wenbo also thought it was the same, and agreed readily.
Looking at his departing figure, Yu Jingjing laughed triumphantly.
Let’s see what Yu Jiaojiao will do this time?
Yu Jiaojiao slept until noon, and from today onwards, she would rush to make clothes.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she sat up, Chunlan’s voice sounded outside the door, filled with anxiety.
“Miss, something bad has happened, the fabric that Princess Chang sent has been ruined.”
“What?” Yu Jiaojiao was stunned, and looked up at the fabric in Chunlan’s hand.
With just one glance, she knew what had happened. Someone had clearly poured hot water into the core of the fabric, causing the clothes to be dyed.
“Miss, this is the fabric that Princess Chang sent. Now that it has become like this due to improper storage, if we can’t come up with suitable clothes for the little princess’s coming-of-age ceremony, Princess Chang will definitely be angry,” Chunlan said anxiously, almost crying.
And at this moment, Jiang Xingyan also pushed his wheelchair in.
He had just seen Chunlan running over here in a hurry, and knew that something must have happened.
He rushed over without thinking.
Jiang Xingyan’s gaze fell on the fabric, and he frowned.
“Although this fabric is rare, it’s not like we can’t find it. I’ll find a way, we should be able to find similar fabric soon.”
Yu Jiaojiao rejected the other party’s suggestion, “I’m afraid there’s not enough time.”
“Moreover…” Yu Jiaojiao looked at the fabric, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, “Perhaps it’s not completely without a solution.”
