Chapter 32: Chapter 32: General’s Mansion Eldest Miss VS Time-traveling Younger Sister (Extra)
Jiang Yunsan was not originally called Jiang Yunsan.
When she woke up and found herself lying in an ancient-styled room, she felt utterly exhilarated.
Time travel, a worn-out concept in her world, had unexpectedly become her reality.
Looking at the luxurious and elegant ornaments in the room and being respectfully addressed as “Second Miss” by well-dressed maids, she needed only to enjoy the flowers and music while being attended to. She felt that life couldn’t get better than this.
However, human desire is never fully satisfied.
After receiving Jiang Yunsan’s memories, she discovered that the privileged status and luxurious life she thought she had were just her own naive misconceptions.
Jiang Yunsan was merely a concubine-born daughter, and above her was an elder legitimate sister who surpassed her in birth, beauty, and talent.
Jiang Yunsan started paying attention to Jiang Lingzhen.
Seeing Jiang Lingzhen’s life, she realized her so-called high-quality life was perhaps a joke in the eyes of others.
Jiang Lingzhen was clad in tributes bestowed by the palace;
Jiang Lingzhen dined daily on dishes personally prepared by the top chef specially invited from Jiangnan by the Eldest Princess, who had paid a handsome price;
Jiang Lingzhen enjoyed bamboo, so the General’s Mansion had specially created an entire bamboo grove in the backyard for her leisurely visits;
Jiang Lingzhen’s childhood sweetheart was the current Crown Prince.
The more she learned, the more imbalanced Jiang Yunsan felt inside.
Why? She was the one who had traveled through time, she should be the true Heavenly Proud Daughter, yet Jiang Lingzhen was merely a native, so why was she being outshone to dust?
This dissatisfaction erupted upon meeting Jiang Lingzhen in person.
In Jiang Yunsan’s memory, the impression of Jiang Lingzhen wasn’t very clear, for being timid as a mouse, she dared not get close to such a dazzling elder sister; she only knew Jiang Lingzhen was a very beautiful woman.
But no matter how she imagined, she didn’t expect Jiang Lingzhen to look .
National beauty and heavenly fragrance—in a word.
Jiang Yunsan knew she had harbored a devil in her heart, and its name was jealousy.
The darkness in her heart kept growing; she wanted to snatch everything from Jiang Lingzhen and trample this woman beneath her feet.
Thus, she schemed to push her during the temple fair, but unfortunately, Jiang Lingzhen only suffered minor cuts and no serious harm.
Later, she started deliberately seducing the Crown Prince; upon seeing him, she knew—a man like that wouldn’t refuse a beauty offered on a silver platter.
As expected, it only took a little manipulation for the Crown Prince to fall for her bait without hesitation.
But things didn’t go as she had expected.
Why did Jiang Lingzhen not care at all?
She became the Crown Prince’s Side Consort, but Jiang Lingzhen? She became the only Commandery Princess with her own fief!
She still couldn’t surpass her.
Consequently, she became increasingly deranged.
But how could Jiang Lingzhen be so lucky? A horse collision killed the animal, but she emerged unscathed.
And her own face—Jiang Yunsan thought, Jiang Lingzhen must have come to retaliate. Besides her, who else would be so malicious as to poison her this way?
She thought Jiang Lingzhen was malevolent, yet never reflected on her own faults.
The Crown Prince’s position was precarious, and she, the Crown Prince’s Side Consort, had become a joke.
Jiang Yunsan thought, let’s all go to hell together then.
She finally received the news she wanted: Commandery Princess Qingyang, Jiang Lingzhen, was assassinated and lay unconscious, her life hanging by a thread.
Alas, before she could get confirmation of her death, the Emperor’s white silk arrived at the mansion.
Jiang Lingzhen, I will wait for you in the Underworld. She closed her eyes with a smile.
