Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Jiang Ruxue probably has never suffered such a great suffering in her life. Although she is just a girl from an ordinary family in modern society, the living facilities in the future world can easily beat those of ordinary wealthy families in ancient times.

Even though she was possessed by the wife of the Marquis after coming here, she still complained about the poor conditions in the Marquis's Mansion, not to mention the bad environment of the Tianlao.

When she was first imprisoned in the prison, she was almost driven crazy by the situation inside. The prison was not ventilated, and the smell inside was so disgusting that people could vomit overnight meals.

The environment was dirty and bad. There was not even a wooden board to sleep on, let alone a quilt. A pile of straw that had been in the corner for who knows how long was the only thing she could use to keep warm.

What she couldn't stand the most was that there was no toilet in the prison. A half-filled wooden barrel was the only place to solve the problem. Unless it was full and about to overflow, no one would come to pour it out!

She couldn't eat or sleep well. In addition, the guards of the prison knew why she came in. Although they didn't torture her, they were very rude to her. She also had no idea about the future.

Under great mental pressure and physical torture, Jiang Ruxue lost a lot of weight in just a few days. She looked like a dried flower that had lost water. She was so haggard that she couldn't look at herself.

Now she didn't know where to go. She heard that the fourth prince had also been released. She didn't see him when she came out. She could only stand at the door of the prison and wait. But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see anyone. She had to ask people with a smile.

"Fang Jiarong didn't wait for you. She must not want you anymore. If she doesn't know how to find you, what's the point of asking me?" The guard looked at her with disgust and drove her away very rudely, "Go away, don't interfere with our work here."

Jiang Ruxue didn't notice that he called the fourth prince by name. She was only very angry at his eyes and bad attitude.

Even if she was just an ordinary person in modern society, she would not be treated like this, not to mention that after coming to ancient times, as a marquis' wife, she would be treated with courtesy wherever she went.

She was just a lowly prison guard, how dare she treat herself like this? She couldn't help but angrily said: "How can you talk like this? I'm just asking you, can't you just answer directly?"

"Oh!" The guard was amused by her and said sarcastically: "You still think of yourself as a high and mighty marquis' wife? You are a shameless woman, I am willing to talk to you, which is enough for you to burn incense, and you still complain about my bad attitude?"

If a woman cheats on her husband, she will not get a good evaluation even if she is known in modern society, let alone in the ancient patriarchal society. Who in this prison doesn't know how she got in? Expecting them to have a good attitude is just dreaming!

Jiang Ruxue was so angry that she trembled all over, but she had no way to deal with him, so she could only stare at him fiercely with her big eyes.

"What do you mean by staring at me like this? Are you attracted to me?" The guard crossed his arms exaggeratedly, "Forget it! Don't say that I have a wife at home. Even if I don't, I wouldn't dare to take a woman like you!"

When has Jiang Ruxue ever met such a rogue? She was so wronged that her eyes turned red, and tears hung on her eyelashes, looking really pitiful.

It was also because not many people dared to approach the gate of the prison, otherwise it would have attracted a crowd of onlookers.

However, the noise outside still alarmed the people inside. The prison boss came out and shouted impatiently: "What are you doing? Why are you making a fuss here? Do you want to stay in here for a few days?"

Jiang Ruxue saw that he was disgusted with her like the gatekeeper. She knew that she would not get any good things from them, and she was afraid that she would be locked up again. Thinking about the bad conditions inside, she couldn't help but shudder, and quickly lowered her head and ran away in shame.

"What the hell?" The jailer and the guard looked at her retreating back and spat at the same time.

This kind of woman should be put into a pig cage. I really don't understand why the emperor would let her go and give her to a woman to be his wife. He is not afraid that Prince Ning will rebel if he is unhappy.

Jiang Ruxue ran a long way in one breath before she stopped exhausted. Looking at the ancient buildings around her, she hesitated for a while and didn't know where to go.

She didn't know that the emperor had been replaced, and she didn't know that the fourth prince had been abolished as a commoner. She only received a divorce letter sent by Sheng Yangyan and an order to give her and Fang Jiarong a marriage.

She was actually relieved to get this result. Although she felt sick when she thought about entering the fourth prince's mansion and competing for favor with a group of women in the future, after all, this was much better than she expected.

So when she left the prison, Jiang Ruxue was still in a relaxed mood, but she hadn't seen Fang Jiarong, and she was humiliated and ridiculed by the guards, so she fell to the bottom of the valley.

Although the guards' attitude was bad, they also revealed an important message to her. Arong had come out before her, but he didn't wait for her, but left alone.

What did he mean? Did he know that she would be his in the future, so he felt that she was under his control and could treat her as he pleased?

If he thought so, he was wrong. He dared to despise her, Jiang Ruxue. Even if he was a prince, she would try her best to leave him!

Thinking of this, she stomped her feet in hatred, thinking that unless he came to beg her, he would never take the initiative to deliver himself to her.

Jiang Ruxue made a decision in her heart, turned around and walked in the direction of Duke Ning's Mansion. She wanted to get back her dowry. The law of Dalin stipulated that the dowry was a woman's property, even if she was divorced, it would still belong to her. I, as a Marquis Sheng Yangyan, can't be greedy for her things, right?

Yang Yan really wouldn't be greedy for her things, but he wasn't going to give it back to her and let her continue to live a wealthy life, so he notified the Jiang family early and asked them to come and take back her dowry.

The Jiang family were all shocked when they found out that their daughter had committed such a scandal. Although they knew that the family was in the wrong, they still hoped that things could be changed for the sake of the future.

In the past few days, they have been wanting to meet the newly promoted Prince Ning. Unfortunately, no matter whether they asked to meet him in person or asked someone to intercede, they could not meet him. However, they still did not give up and simply stayed at the mansion these days. The door is blocked.

Yang Yan has long known the little tricks of the Jiang family, but has never paid attention to them. Anyway, they dare not stop him when he goes to morning court every day, and he often stays outside for the whole day, and often does not come back until curfew. Just wait if you like.

Although this family has no hatred towards the original owner, after all, Jiang Ruxue is not the original product. She has caused the original owner's family to have nothing to do with this family.

But in the past life, they were the ones who provided cover for the heroine, giving her the body of a daughter raised outside by the Jiang family, so that she could marry into the fourth prince's house with an innocent body.

Since they can enjoy wealth and wealth with Jiang Ruxue, they should suffer if she causes trouble.

In short, he was just a victim in this matter. Yang Yan would not go out of his way to suppress the Jiang family, but he could not help cover it up or restore their reputation.

Thinking that the heroine should be released from prison soon, and with her face, she would probably come to ask for dowry, Yang Yan did not stay outside after the end of the court this time, and deliberately returned home early.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, as expected, someone from the Jiang family came out and stopped in front of his horse. The person who came was none other than Jiang Ruxue's father, his former father-in-law.

"Mr. Jiang," Yang Yan gave him a cold look, "Yesterday, someone came to stop my horse. You saw it, but do you know what his fate is now?"

"Good son-in-law——" Although Mr. Jiang didn't know clearly, he heard the threat in his words and took a step back.

"I can't afford it," Yang Yan interrupted him rudely, "I know your intention of coming to me, but I can tell you clearly that no matter what you plan to do, it will be impossible!"

"I advise you to take the dowry back obediently. From now on, I will sever ties with your Jiang family, and we will never have any contact with you again. If we are still entangled, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Your Highness Prince Ning!" Mr. Jiang's face suddenly turned pale, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead. He lost his voice and said, "Why do you have to be so heartless? No matter what compensation your Highness needs, I can agree to it, as long as I hope your highness will show your dignity and save some face for the Jiang family."

"What do I lack from you?" Yang Yan sneered disdainfully, "It's such a shame and humiliation. If I don't embarrass your Jiang family, I'm already being merciless. If you pester me again, I'll show you what true ruthlessness is."

After saying that, without looking at him again, he rode directly into the house.

Mr. Jiang was frightened by his words and froze in place, daring not to pursue him.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Mr. Jiang, who had been standing a few steps away without daring to interrupt, hurried over and asked.

"What else can we do?" Mr. Jiang wiped his face dejectedly and said, "Just do what the prince wants!"

"But this will ruin the reputation of our Jiang family!" Mr. Jiang said anxiously, "My younger sister who is not yet married, my eldest girl who is only five years old, and the daughter of the third family, they will not be married in the future. How can I marry into a good family?"

"Don't I know the consequences of not handling the matter well?" Mr. Jiang shook his head helplessly, "But Prince Ning's attitude is so resolute, I'm afraid it's useless to ask him for mercy again, and it might be counterproductive."

"If he really attacks us harshly, we don't have to wait until later. The Jiang family will be defeated now."

Mr. Jiang also knew the seriousness of the matter. They couldn't afford to offend Prince Ning before when he was still the Duke of the Kingdom. Now that he has been promoted to Prince, it is even more difficult for them to resist.

"Jiang Ruxue, you broom star, don't let me see you again!"
