ARDA - Chapter 4 - Return to the Marquis Mansion

 One day later.

"Young lady, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion," the maid said.

Jiang Ning's eyelashes fluttered and opened her eyes. Then she stretched out her hand and opened a corner of the curtain. What came into view was the plaque of the Marquis Mansion.

And there was a woman standing in front of the door. Her skin was as white as snow, her appearance was stunning, and she had an aura of nobility, like a pampered princess.

Jiang Mengyue...

The nightmare of her previous life began at this moment.

Hatred rose in Jiang Ning's heart, almost engulfing her whole body.

She suppressed her hatred tightly. She knew that everything had to be done slowly and that Jiang Mengyue's true colors should be exposed.

Jiang Mengyue stepped forward with tears in her eyes. She held Jiang Ning's hand and said, "Little sister, you have suffered a long journey. Mother is not feeling well right now, let's go and freshen up in my yard first, lest she be sad to see you."

Jiang Mengyue's voice was soft and her words were delicate, showing the appearance of a good sister.

In her previous life, she was considered a vain person by everyone in the Marquis family just because she listened to Jiang Mengyue's words.

She didn't pay respects to her elders and just went to enjoy wealth and honor.

In this life, Jiang Ning will never fall into the same pit.

"Is mother sick? I want to see mother first!"

Jiang Ning suppressed the stern look in her eyes, immediately shook off Jiang Mengyue's hand, and hurried into the house.

Jiang Mengyue was pushed away hard, anger emerged in her heart, but her face showed anxiety as she stepped forward to stop Jiang Ning.

"Don't worry, sister, I still have something to return to you."

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her arm, revealing the red bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet is of extraordinary quality, the crystal is clear and looks very precious.

"This bracelet was passed down to me from my mother. It was an item passed down from the Marquis family to their daughters. Grandmother wore it all her life and passed it on to mother, who then passed it on to me. This bracelet should have been yours, you go with me to change into a decent dress, and then wear this bracelet before seeing our mother to ensure that when our mother sees you, all the diseases and pains will be gone."

Jiang Ning's eyes fell on this bracelet.

This is Jiang Mengyue's favorite bracelet, symbolizing her noble status as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis family.

In her previous life, Jiang Mengyue wanted to give her the bracelet, but she was timid and embarrassed to accept valuable things, so she declined politely.

After that, there was no further discussion about it.

Her mother never mentioned to her the bracelet passed down to her legitimate daughter, and the Marquis family seemed to have acquiesced that Jiang Mengyue was the owner of the bracelet.

She didn't take it seriously at first, but Jiang Mengyue often wore the bracelet dangled it in front of her eyes, and even pretended to apologize, saying that she should have been the owner of the bracelet.

This incident planted seeds in her heart, and she began to blame her mother.

It’s really funny to think about it now. It’s just a bracelet. Her mother gave her several boxes of jewelry, and she put a lot of thought into the selection. 

Now she naturally wouldn't fall into the trap just because of Jiang Mengyue's words.

She won't want this bracelet. However, Jiang Mengyue is not qualified to take what originally belonged to her.

"Elder sister, do you want to return the bracelet to me?" Jiang Ning raised her head and said timidly.

"Of course, this bracelet should belong to you."

Jiang Ning looked hesitant, "How could I accept such a valuable thing... Let's go see mother first..."

The corner of Jiang Mengyue's mouth curled up, "Don't worry, sister, come with me to change clothes first, and then put this bracelet on! Otherwise, sister, I will always be uneasy!"

"It's too valuable. I can't accept it. I miss my mother and want to go see her now." Jiang Ning shook her head and deliberately pushed away the hand that was offered to her.

Jiang Mengyue was anxious, fearing that Jiang Ning would ruin her plan, so she stepped forward to stop her but was pushed back by Jiang Ning.

As the two pushed each other, the bracelet fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and shattering.

Jiang Ning looked at the broken bracelet on the ground, and a coldness quickly flashed across her eyes.

Jiang Mengyue's eyes widened in shock and she stared at the broken bracelet.

She loves this bracelet very much. She is always careful when wearing it, for fear of bumping it, but now...

"Oops!" Jiang Ning exclaimed, "The bracelet broke. What should we do?"

"My bracelet..." Jiang Mengyue's eyes were filled with the broken bracelet, and she felt extremely heartbroken.

This is the bracelet passed down from the Marquis family to his legitimate daughter! 

Jiang Ning sneered inwardly when she saw Jiang Mengyue's heartbroken expression.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure walking not far away.

Jiang Ning quickly squatted down, picked up the broken bracelet, and held it in front of Jiang Mengyue with both hands. "Elder sister, it's all my fault. I accidentally broke the bracelet... Can this be repaired? Wait until it is repaired and I'll give it back."

Her voice was timid, soft, and weak.

Jiang Mengyue's heart has long been engulfed in anger. This bitch must have done it on purpose. Otherwise, how could she have lost the bracelet!

She angrily slapped Jiang Ning's hand away, "How can it be fixed!"
