“Such a pity for that half-pot of porridge,” Jiang Ning said.

“It wasn’t wasted, though. It was all cleaned up and sent to a family to feed their pigs,” Jiang Fu said with a laugh.

“You did well, Uncle Fu. Go to Huang Ying and get the rewards for everyone, then divide the End-of-Year Sacrifice Festival porridge among them, and take half a day off. Those who have homes and families can go back and celebrate the festival.”

“Thank you for your grace, Princess Consort. They will be overjoyed.”

Jiang Fu bowed with a grin and left.

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan, the pair of sisters, were left dumbfounded.

“What happened? I heard that something went wrong at the porridge shed, and the Princess Consort and Madam fled. Why did you send someone to distribute porridge again?” Jiang Yuan asked.

“The porridge shed was already set up, and the porridge was ready. It can’t be wasted, can it?” Jiang Ning peeled a sweet potato and blew on it. “As for gaining fame and prestige, as long as the cost is not too high, I’m willing to do it.”

“You… are truly eye-opening.”

Jiang Yan whispered, “Seventh Sister, aren’t you afraid they’ll come and make trouble again?”

She was always timid and dared not speak to strangers. If surrounded by a group of men, she would probably faint.

Jiang Yi said, “Sixth Sister, don’t you understand? Those ruffians and beggars were clearly arranged by her. Of course, she wouldn’t be afraid.”

Jiang Ning quickly raised her hand, “Not true, I don’t like ruffians and don’t want to deal with them. Paying them to cause trouble? I must have been stuffed.”

“So, you admit the beggars were hired by you?”

“The brothers of the Beggar’s Gang are not bad…” Jiang Ning snickered.

That was an admission.

Jiang Yuan said, “You’re crazy, you dare to do anything.”

“So do you, daring to beat Princess Ling’an in public.”

“That’s a different matter.”

“To me, it’s the same thing. It’s all about disliking something and resorting to fighting and brawling.”

“What benefits do you gain from doing this?” Jiang Yuan asked.

“I don’t know if it’s good or bad for me, but I know it must be bad for the Princess Consort.”

Jiang Yi laughed and said, “In my opinion, the Crown Prince might not even make it out of the East Palace next year.”

“Why is that?” Jiang Yan asked curiously.

Jiang Yuan looked over.

Although they had been studying since childhood, they mostly learned about the teachings and virtues of women, read poetry, and didn’t know much about the imperial court’s affairs.

Seeing that Seventh Sister didn’t object, Jiang Yi explained to them, “This matter, although it’s the Princess Consort’s incompetence, the Princess Consort and the Crown Prince are a unit. If she can’t do it well, it means the Crown Prince can’t do it well either.”

“I see,” Jiang Yan said, her face flushed.

It wasn’t embarrassment, but excitement.

She had never had anyone explain to her the affairs of the imperial court in her life.

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Ning, “Seventh Sister, aren’t you afraid that people will find out the beggars were hired by you to cause trouble?”

“Third Brother, do you know what’s not good about you?”

“What?”

“Being indecisive.”

“…I call that being prudent!”

“It’s clearly shrinking back.”

“You little…” Jiang Yi pretended to hit her, “How dare you talk to your brother like that.”

Seeing their interaction, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan couldn’t help but feel envious.

Although they had spent more time with Third Brother than Jiang Ning, they had to admit that Jiang Ning was more likable.

Jiang Ning said, “The Crown Prince and Princess Consort did such a shameless thing, why don’t you ask them if they’re afraid of people knowing? They’re not afraid, what do I have to fear? Even if she finds out that I brought the beggars, what can she do to me?”
