Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 406 - 28: The General Mansion’s Cast-Off Cannon Fodd

"Jiang Lai..."

Tie Yi’s eyes were intense, making even Jiang Lai, who usually had thick skin, feel a bit uncomfortable.

These eyes were too familiar. After slowly confirming what she thought, Jiang Lai beca increasingly interested in this man.

He’s everywhere, every ti it’s him.

This ti with Tie Yi, indeed, it’s him again.

Jiang Lai didn’t think much about it. She didn’t want to waste too much ti on other matters during the mission.

The entire hillside was filled with people. Jiang Lai had already shot two brightly-feathered pheasants. Just as the accompanying servant was about to pick up the prey, suddenly an arrow from the side hit the pheasant lying on the ground.

Turning to look, it was Jiang Yu.

Causing trouble? It doesn’t seem like her style.

Jiang Yu was dressed in a dark blue archery suit, which accentuated her slender waist and long legs, looking very dashing, very different from her usual gentle and intellectual literary talent image, truly eye-catching.

Beside her were two ladies, one was Xu Ruling, the other was unknown, but judging from the golden longbow on her back, she seed to be so princess.

Considering the age, to be able to hang out with Jiang Yu, it must be the Ninth Princess, Your Majesty’s youngest and most favored daughter.

"Here cos the infamous future bride of Tie Yi from the original story."

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow; she hadn’t paid much attention to the love lives of these supporting characters.

Little Buding snorted coldly.

"Without , what would you do? You don’t even recognize them, but later in the story, the protagonist ntions Li, who has always had a crush on Tie Yi. Eventually, the Ninth Princess got her wish and married him, but unfortunately, the good tis didn’t last long. Tie Yi was shot in the chest on the battlefield and nearly died. After being rescued, he didn’t live long, leaving the Ninth Princess widowed."

Jiang Lai really hadn’t cared about this.

But now knowing isn’t too late. Since this is the case, the Ninth Princess, who looks at Jiang Lai with disdain, surely cos with ill intentions.

Jiang Lai couldn’t understand, with so many n, why insist on holding onto one?

Jiang Yu rode over, looked at the pheasant on the ground, her eyes very indifferent.

"Jiang Lai, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you openly, can we?"

"No, can’t you see I’m busy hunting?"

With that, Jiang Lai asked soone to pick up the pheasant and turned to leave, but the Ninth Princess directly rode her horse to block her path, pointing a whip at Jiang Lai.

"Are you from the Marquis Mansion? Why didn’t you plead with my father to release the Marquis just now?"

Jiang Lai looked at her.

"Is this matter related to you? I won first place and can ask for anything I want. If you’re not convinced, why didn’t you win first place at the poetry eting just now?"

The Ninth Princess’s eyes flared up upon hearing this.

"Just like the rumors, arrogant and conceited! Don’t think that because you shone for a mont at the poetry eting, you’re sothing special. Your poem must have been plagiarized! I will report this to my father for a thorough check, and if you slip up, watch your head!"

After the Ninth Princess finished speaking, Jiang Yu stared at Jiang Lai, and sure enough, she saw a trace of panic and guilt in her eyes.

Indeed, this poem was copied!

Jiang Yu was most certain about one thing: Jiang Lai is an incompetent fool who used so unknown ans to gain favor in front of Your Majesty, and used this to charm Tie Yi, completely ignoring the life and death of the Marquis Mansion!

An ingrate and a white-eyed wolf who bites the hand that feeds!

At this mont, Jiang Yu took the initiative to speak.

"Since the poetry eting is over, let’s let it go."

"Why? Jiang Lai, do you dare to compete with us fairly again? If you win, I won’t pursue the matter of the poetry eting anymore. If you lose, you’ll voluntarily leave the General Mansion!"

Jiang Lai frowned, looking at the reluctant face of the Ninth Princess.

"What are we comparing?"

"What are we doing now, that’s what we’ll compete in. Hunting, we’ll gather the prey, and each will have ten arrows. Whoever shoots the most will win, how about it?"

The Ninth Princess saw Jiang Lai lower her head thoughtfully and carefully, thinking of Jiang Yu’s previous instructions, continued to provoke her.

"What? Don’t dare to compete with ?"

"Everyone knows about Ninth Princess’s archery skills. Competing with you, doesn’t that obviously make lose?"

The Ninth Princess sneered.

"Alright, the three of us, you choose one to compete with."

Jiang Lai looked at the three before her, then pointed at Jiang Yu in the middle after a mont of hesitation.

"Then I’ll choose her."

The Ninth Princess turned back and couldn’t help but smile, then turned her face back again full of dissatisfaction.

"Jiang Yu is the weakest among us. You’re smart, only picking the softest target to bully. Since so, let’s up the stakes, shall we? A thousand taels of gold. For a General’s wife like you, it’s not much, how about it?"

A thousand taels of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.

This trio sure has a big appetite.

Since that’s the case, Jiang Lai played along and after a mont of biting her lip and hesitation, nodded.

"Fine, let’s compete. Just make sure you can co up with that money!"

"With around, you’re worried about not coming up with a thousand taels of gold? But our chances of winning aren’t great. If you lose, not only do you have to pay the thousand taels of gold, but you also have to apologize to Jiang Yu in front of everyone! If it weren’t for her, would you be able to marry Iron General? Today you embarrassed Sister Yu at the poetry eting by plagiarizing, so if you lose, you must apologize! Apologize in front of Your Majesty!"

"Let’s compete!"

Jiang Yu coughed twice, her face a bit pale, seeing this Jiang Lai’s eyes were full of confidence.

"See you at the Hunting Ground."

Seeing Jiang Lai leave, the Ninth Princess excitedly leaned over.

"As expected, just like you thought, that fool fell for the provocation and actually agreed to bet a thousand taels of gold!"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly, her face indifferent.

"She has been like this since childhood, always wanting to be in the spotlight, this ti she brought trouble upon herself, not blaming others."

The Ninth Princess laughed happily, eager to watch the spectacle.

"What do you think her expression will be when she finds out you’ve been practicing archery with since childhood and your archery skills are no worse than mine?"

Xu Ruling chid in.

"Just thinking about it feels good. You have no idea how arrogant she acts at the General Mansion, slightly in power and already so overbearing. Sister Yu, you must teach her a lesson this ti! Make her roll out of the General Mansion!"

Jiang Yu gazed at the departing Jiang Lai, speaking softly.

"I’m not doing it to embarrass her; I just want her to tone it down. Otherwise, she’ll suffer bigger losses in the future, and then, it’ll be the face of our Marquis Mansion that she loses."

The Ninth Princess looked scornful.

"A concubine’s daughter, after all, should be embarrassed to recognize her status! And I’m worried if she loses, she might not co up with that kind of money!"

Jiang Yu smiled slightly.

"She doesn’t have it, but the General does. Whether she cos up with it or not, when the General knows she made such a big bet, guess how she’ll explain it?"
