Jiang Ruoting is the daughter of the Third Madam, the younger sister of Jiang Ruohua by the Third Branch. She is taken by her mother to the manor to see the harvest. She is indirectly mentioned during the dream about the Third Branch's greed and impatience. She is part of the Third Branch's lineage, who would inherit the Duke’s Mansion after Jiang Ruohua and her father, but the Third Madam and her line still conspire for power before then. Jiang Ruoting is part of the scheme; her mother uses her as an excuse for leaving the mansion. She is not directly active but is a pawn in the family conflict.
