Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 375 Suggests Keeping a Low Profile

Jiang Xue was overjoyed. "Good, good, my daughter is really something. Remember, you should try to win over the elders of the Xiao family!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm sure!"

Jiang Rourou moved into the Xiao family home. Although the others were not happy about it, there was nothing they could do. Since they had reached the age to talk about marriage, cohabitation was a trend among young people these days.

Su Ying adhered to the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me," but Jiang Rourou didn't think so.

"How dare you! Not only do you not greet me properly when you see me, but you also dare to talk behind my back. You lowly servant, who gave you the audacity? Huh?"

In the back garden, Jiang Rourou was standing with her hands on her hips, scolding a young maid.

The maid's name was Kexin. She was usually very close to Su Ying. It's likely that Jiang Rourou saw this and held a grudge, which is why she targeted Kexin.

"Isn't that right? You're just Young Master Xiao's girlfriend, a guest of the Xiao family. Even if I didn't bow, that's my personal matter. What right do you have to lecture me?"

Kexin is well-behaved, sensible, and eloquent. She is usually very favored in the Xiao family, so she inevitably looks down on Jiang Rourou.

Now Jiang Rourou finally had a reason to teach her a lesson. "So, you think you can bully me when Brother Jiayang isn't home? If I don't teach you a lesson today on behalf of Brother Jiayang, what will become of you? Guards, slap her!" The servants looked at each other, not knowing which side to take.

"Fine, you can't get any of you to do anything, huh? You wait, when Brother Jiayang comes back, I'll have him fire you all!"

Seemingly frightened by Jiang Rourou's words, the maid then restrained Kexin.

Jiang Rourou rolled up her sleeves, raised her arm at Kexin with a vicious expression, and said, "You damned servant, I can't even control you anymore!"

"Stop!" Su Ying walked over.

Jiang Rourou slowly withdrew her hand, her tone sarcastic, "Oh, isn't this my dear sister? Oh, I've got the wrong person. You're the imposter. My sister is long dead. Look, I almost mistook you for someone else. I'm so sorry!"

"Excuse me, who are you...?" Su Ying ignored what she was saying and asked the question on her own.

Jiang Rourou's expression changed, and she sneered, "You're really good at pretending. Is this funny?"

Su Ying tapped her temple, as if she had just remembered, "Oh, I see, you're Young Master Xiao's friend?"

Jiang Rourou fiddled with her extravagant manicure, looking extremely arrogant. "I'm his girlfriend. Before long, I'll be the young mistress of the Xiao family. Is there a problem?"

"Oh, so you're Young Master Xiao's girlfriend!" Su Ying said, resting her chin on her hand. "I remember Young Master Xiao last changed girlfriends a week ago. I wonder how long he'll last with you!"

Jiang Rourou got anxious, "What do you mean? You want us to break up, don't you? Su Ying, what are you up to? You just can't stand that I'm doing better than you, right?"

Su Ying gestured for her to shut up. "Whether you're doing well or not is none of my business, but I won't allow you to discipline the servants of the Xiao family!"

Jiang Rourou sneered, "I'm the future young mistress, of course I have the right to teach whoever I want a lesson. It's none of your business!"

"Oh, the future young mistress? So that means you're not yet, right? So what right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in the affairs of the Xiao family, Miss Jiang?" Su Ying deliberately emphasized the word "outsider," leaving Jiang Rourou speechless with anger. "Me, you... so what? You'll be sooner or later. I'm just exercising my power ahead of time!"

Su Ying shrugged. "It'll happen sooner or later, but it's not happening now. Things can change in an instant. Who knows who will become the young mistress in the future? I suggest you keep a low profile, so you don't lose control later!"

After saying that, she looked to the side, and the maid immediately released Kexin in a huff.

"Fifth Madam!" Kexin said with a wronged expression, "Miss Jiang deliberately made things difficult for me to make coffee for her. I made it several times but it still didn't meet her expectations. She was the one who overturned the cup and burned her arm, but she insisted that I did it on purpose. When I tried to explain, she said I was making things up about her. Fourth Madam, I..."

Su Ying smiled and said, "It's alright. Miss Jiang and I are old acquaintances. She won't blame you for this. Besides, any girl who can enter our Xiao family must at least be of good character. She was just joking with you. If this gets back to the old man, it won't be good for anyone!"

Su Ying looked at Jiang Rourou, "Right, Miss Jiang?"

"I..." Jiang Rourou choked.

Su Ying was warning her that continuing to make trouble would not do her any good.

Jiang Rourou thought about it and agreed. After all, she hadn't yet gained a firm foothold in the Xiao family, and making too much noise would have a bad impact. Once she became the real young mistress, she would deal with these people one by one!
Thinking of this, Jiang Rourou snorted and left.

Su Ying's smile vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Jiang Rourou is being far too polite to her; she's completely lost her sense of self-importance! Keep acting like this; she'll ruin herself sooner or later!

Jiang Rourou ran to Xiao Jiayang to complain, hoping that he would help teach Su Ying a lesson. But the result was different from what she expected.

"What did I remind you? I told you to keep a low profile and behave yourself in the Xiao family. Grandpa and the others don't like you anyway. You don't even try to make a good impression, and you even dare to hit the Xiao family's servants. Do you know that this will drag me down with you? In the end, I won't get anything from the Xiao family. What good will that do you? Huh?"

Xiao Jiayang launched into a tirade, and Jiang Rourou burst into tears, feeling wronged. "But you didn't see how they bullied me. I'm your fiancée! They bullied me because they don't respect you, Young Master Xiao. You can tolerate it, but I can't. Otherwise, how will we maintain our position in the Xiao family?"

These words seemed to remind Xiao Jiayang of something. "Then what do you mean?"

Jiang Rourou leaned closer, "Brother Jiayang, I think you're just too honest, that's why you get bullied. Think about it, you should be the heir of the Xiao family, but someone took everything away from you because you didn't fight for anything!"

These words struck a chord with Xiao Jiayang. His eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a glimmer of hope. "Then do you have a solution?"

"We'll only know if a solution is good or not once we try it, Jia Yang. I suggest you do this..."

After hearing the whole plan, Xiao Jiayang felt a sudden sense of enlightenment and excitedly picked up Jiang Rourou, saying, "Rourou, I've discovered how smart you are! How come I didn't think of this great idea?"

……

Musa was extremely disappointed in Qian Xingjie, to the point that she avoided him whenever possible. On this day, she was finally cornered in her room by Qian Xingjie.

"Musa, what's wrong? You've been acting strange lately. Did I do something to upset you?"

Musa turned her face away, her voice cold, "Young Master, you've misunderstood. There's nothing there!"
