The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 105. Shock

The plain carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Jiang’s mansion, and Xia Yan, who went out to greet him, trembled, and saw two maids helping a beautiful girl step out of the carriage.

That girl is Jiang Susu. Compared to three years ago, Jiang Susu is obviously taller. Perhaps he has been in the family temple for a long time, and he seems to have a stable temperament. The little arrogance in the past is completely gone, only a slight sense of nobility remains. With a smile on her lips, the scars on her face were invisible at all. But the facial features are vivid and bright, I don’t know what is going on, clearly or clear and beautiful, but it seems to contain a kind of faint seduction. If you look at her every move seriously, you will be a little distracted.

Xia Yan was delighted when she saw her face at first, and walked awkwardly with her waist for a few steps before looking at Jiang Susu’s face and saying, “Su’er, how is your face all right?”

The doctor who had visited the mansion said that the scar on Jiang Susu’s face might not be healed. If he were to find some precious medicinal materials in the future, he might look at it and dilute it. But right now, if Jiang Susu’s skin was a peeled egg, there was still a trace of disfigurement.

Jiang Susu looked at her and smiled lightly, and said, “The time is up, it will be fine.” She glanced at Xia Yan so lightly with her eyes, and Xia Yan felt stunned. I don’t know why, but I just feel that Jiang Susu in front of me is strange and different from the past. But after a closer look, it was still the original Jiang Susu. She resisted the suspicion in her heart and said, “Su’er, it’s good if you are back. You have been cruel and refused to see your mother for the past three years…”

Jiang Susu turned a deaf ear, looking over Xia Yan and landing on a soft sedan in front of the mansion gate.

It was a soft sedan chair in the color of a crabapple, all carried by the four guards in the palace. The sedan chair was exquisite and gorgeous, and did not indicate the identity of the person in the sedan chair. There have been many people watching the excitement along the way, wanting to see which house is the nobleman.

The sedan chair stopped at the gate of Jiang’s mansion.

Jiang Susu stared at the sedan chair without saying a word.

From the back of the sedan chair, two maidservants in costumes walked out and opened the bead curtain of the sedan chair with a smile, welcoming the people inside.

The girl in red has a gorgeous face, and she is thrilling and magnificent when she walks. She walked slowly, and every time she took a step forward, Xia Yan’s fingerprints on the palm of her hand became deeper.

Finally, the red-clothed girl walked up to Xia Yan and smiled and said, “Mr. Ruan, I have seen my mother and second sister. It has been a long time.”

Xia Yan only felt a depression in her chest rushing toward the door. Jiang Ruan’s grand occasion in the palace, there is a quick word. Thinking about this, Xia Yan wanted to tear Jiang Ruan to pieces. How can such good luck not fall on Jiang Susu’s head. Now that Jiang Susu is returning to the mansion, Jiang Ruan chose to come here at this time. The two sides are in a contrast, and people outside can see it, and they may say what rumors will be in Beijing tomorrow. People always step on the low and praise the high. It was also in the family temple, Jiang Ruan returned with such a glorious splendor, Jiang Susu was just a carriage. Her heart exploded, Jiang Ruan was obviously deliberate!

Jiang Susu looked at Jiang Ruan quietly, and suddenly smiled: “Big sister, I haven’t seen you for a long time, and it’s even more charming.” Her expression was plain, she was a bit out of the dust, but somehow, her whole body showed a special meaning. Even the woman couldn’t help but feel a little moved when she saw it. If you must use one word to describe it, it is the demon. Yes, Jiang Susu still wears sandalwood, clothes cyanine, and no powder, which really feels like a fairy. But every move… actually brought a different kind of temptation. Don’t look, don’t look, you will lose your soul if you look at it.

Jiang Ruan retracted his gaze and smiled slightly: “The second sister is far away and knows something. Now the empress dowager has asked me to be appointed as Hong’an princess. Although you and I are both sisters, my mother and I are also mother and daughter, but the rules cannot be broken. I am afraid that it would be contempt of the royal family. So Ruan Niang boldly reminded that in the future, the rules that should be established are better to be established. It is not necessary to spread it out to the historians to hear it, and to participate in the father’s copy.”

When Jiang Susu’s face was calm, when he heard this, the muscles of his cheeks twitched fiercely, and they were twisted unnaturally. She slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Ruan, and the mood in her eyes changed in an instant. Finally return to calm. She smiled slightly and bowed her knees to Jiang Ruan: “Su Niang has seen the princess.”

Jiang Ruan smiled and made her get up. Xia Yan almost broke her teeth. Jiang Ruan thought for a moment, and his eyes fell thoughtfully on Xia Yan’s abdomen: “Mother will be exempted. Now my mother is pregnant. If she hurts her body, I am afraid that Niang Ruan will be to blame.”

Seeing her gaze, Xia Yan was shocked, and he subconsciously protected her lower abdomen with both hands, staring at her vigilantly, and reluctantly smiled: “What’s the matter?”

Jiang Ruan smiled more gently: “Mother is so tight, I don’t know, I thought I was going to treat the child in the mother’s belly. The mother was too worried.” She turned her head and just saw Jiang Susu looking at Xia Yan’s belly. The appearance of his eyes was amazing, and there was a shuddering feeling. Jiang Ruan was secretly wary in his heart, and said with a smile: “Looking at the second sister, she also likes the little guy in her mother’s belly very much. It seems that her mother will soon be able to add a little brother to the house.” After that, it was no more. Wait a long time, with a smile, the maid followed to the house.

Xia Yan subconsciously looked at Jiang Susu’s gaze, but was surprised by this look. Jiang Susu looked at her lower abdomen where there was a touch of tenderness and cuteness, her eyes seemed to be not on the lower abdomen, but a plate of delicious food, and he was about to rush over in the next second. Eat her thoroughly.

Xia Yan now regards this in her belly as the lifeblood. Seeing Jiang Susu’s terrifying eyes, he immediately took a step back. She moved too much, Jiang Susu recovered. The greed in his eyes disappeared, and he smiled and said, “Mother, I also went in.”

After that, he took a meaningful look at Xia Yan’s lower abdomen and walked slowly into the house. Xia Yan was stunned, thinking about the look in Jiang Susu’s eyes just now, but she felt cold in her heart for some reason.

在府里住了几日，倒也没有什么特别的事情发生，太后随宜的赏赐一台一台的搬回蒋府，竟也没人敢来打主意。蒋超整日跟着宣离在外头忙活，进府自是没有见过。蒋权更不会主动来找蒋阮这个女儿谈心。露珠打听到这三年蒋丹倒是越发的不爱出门了，性子更为内向。蒋老夫人的身子也开始了明显的衰败之势，回府当日只叫蒋阮过去说了一会子话便乏了。

夏研的胎已经过了头三个月，后面若是细细养着自然无碍。上一世夏研肚里的这个孩子到底是没有生下来，就在一个月后小产了，当时查出来是五姨娘红缨动的手，蒋权大怒，将红缨关进柴房，红缨却自己寻了绳子上了吊，死在柴房中。如今看来，倒是种种疑点。虽然红缨极有可能做出这事，可自己上吊，却不是她的性子能做出来的。

这一世便是循着上一世的痕迹，夏研的胎儿也保不住。只是红缨……她也很好奇，真是红缨下的手？

正思忖着，连翘便掀开帘子，道：“姑娘，五姨娘来了。”

蒋阮挑了挑眉，红缨的动作倒是极快。

命人将红缨迎进来，红缨的衣着比起三年前可要精致多了，虽然仍不显得富丽堂皇，可那料子首饰，无一不是好东西。看来这三年，蒋权待她不错。想来也是了，上一世她刚回蒋府时，正是这个时候。当时的红缨便已经到了与夏研分庭抗礼的地步。如今夏研有了身子，红缨伺候蒋权倒是更方便些。

红缨有些小心翼翼的在蒋阮的对面坐下来。这三年她过的极为舒心惬意，夏研之前所做种种本就令蒋权心中有了疙瘩。两人不甚亲近，她倒是有了可趁之机，这三年蒋权待她越来越看重，谁知夏研却是在这个节骨眼儿怀了身子。

好在蒋阮回来了。红缨对蒋阮总有种莫名其妙的敬畏，自从三年前在府里见识了这个看似温和的大小姐种种厉害手段后，她就有心拉拢。如今证明她的眼光果然没错，蒋阮得了懿德太后的青眼，蒋信之又步步高升，赵光也看重，眼下成了郡主，凭她的手段，这府里还不是她的天下？

想到此处，夏研恭顺了神色，谦卑道：“贱妾见过郡主。”

“姨娘何必多礼。”蒋阮端起面前的茶壶：“姨娘与我都是自己人，不必虚礼。”她含笑看着面前女子：“一别三年，姨娘瞧着也过得不错。”

“It’s all thanks to the blessing of Missy.” Hongying smiled: “Miss is the blessed person.”

Jiang Ruan smiled and greeted her. It didn’t take long before Hong Ying asked tentatively: “Miss, does the madam know what happened to her being pregnant?”

“Father is always good, no one in this house does not know? Ruan Niang is not a blind and deaf.” Jiang Ruan’s tone contained a faint ridicule, and the corners of his eyes suddenly jumped. However, the play continued to sing, and her face suddenly appeared worried: “Speaking of making the eldest laugh, this is what the concubine is worried about.”

“Oh? What can I worry about?” Jiang Ruan asked with a smile.

“The eldest concubine is a confidant person, so I was shy to talk to the eldest. Madam, her baby is good, but in recent years, because of the relationship between the master, the wife has misunderstood the concubine. If she is born After the young master, I might decide how to have a concubine.” Hong Ying looked worried, really worried.

“My aunt is serious.” Jiang Ruan smiled and comforted her: “How can my mother be kind to her mother? Besides, my father will not let it go. If my aunt is wronged, my father must be the first to refuse to let it go.”

Hong Ying took out her veil and wiped her eyes, wiped away the unnecessary tears, and smiled bitterly: “Master treats a lowly concubine, it is a blessing for a lowly concubine. But it is always dangerous for women to give birth to children. If there is something wrong with the wife, blame it on the concubine. The concubine has misery, and I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the grievances. The concubine is a solitary life in this mansion. If the concubine is really charged with that crime, I’m afraid… I’m afraid I didn’t even save a whole body after death.”

Jiang Ruan looked at Hong Ying quietly. I won’t mention how true or false Hong Ying’s remarks are, but I can see that he is a wise man, since he has thought of this. But now that I thought of this, how could I have followed Xia Yan’s way in my previous life. Jiang Ruan also didn’t believe that Hong Ying’s Xia Yan had a small production in his previous life. In fact, Hong Ying was an extremely smart woman who knew how to judge the situation. If there were risks but not sure about things, she would not do it. That being the case, the miscarriage was just a guilt imposed on Hong Ying by Xia Yan, but how did Xia Yan’s child in his previous life fall?

Even though he thought so in his mind, Jiang Ruan still smiled at Hong Ying: “Auntie’s words are too terrifying. There are so many people in the house protecting his wife’s belly, and the auntie is still afraid of nothing. Niang Ruan feels that the first priority for her aunt is not to study the child in his wife’s belly, as if she has a child next to her.”

She is an unmarried boudoir girl who discusses childbirth with her aunt in the house grandiosely, without the slightest shy expression, as if she is extremely natural. Although Hongying was shocked in her heart, she couldn’t help but flushed and said, “Miss, it’s not a lowly concubine who doesn’t want to give birth, but…but…”

Girls born in a brothel have to take a drug since they were young. The drug can make a woman’s body white and smooth, and it can also make a woman’s body emit a strange fragrance. This is naturally a means by the girls to win over their benefactors. It’s just that this kind of drug also has a side effect, which can ruin fertility.

When Hong Ying entered the mansion, he really only wanted to win Jiang Quan’s favor and get Jiang Quan’s favor. She did it too, but the longer she stayed in the house, the stronger her desire for a child. A man’s liking may not last long, but if she has a child, if she is a son, her status can rise a lot. She knocked down Xia Yan without asking for a step, because Xia Yan was backed by the Xia Mansion, but it was good to make Jiang Quan think that she and Xia Yan were equal.

Every time after Jiang Quan took a rest in her yard, Xia Yan would ask Mother Li to bring Bizitang to watch her drink it. Every time after Mother Li left, she grabbed her throat and forced herself to spit out all the soup. Even so, she took too many drugs in the brothel when she was young, and she had asked the doctor secretly, and the doctor said that the chance of her being pregnant was very small.

Not being able to have a child is a thorn in her heart. It coincides that Xia Yan is pregnant again at this time. Seeing that she can get everything in front of her with painstaking efforts, is she going to bring everything back to its original form? She was not reconciled.

But what can be done? She never got pregnant.

Jiang Ruan took a sip of the tea unhurriedly, and said indifferently: “Why can’t you get pregnant? There is no woman in this world who can’t get pregnant.”

Hong Ying was taken aback, and looked up at Jiang Ruan: “Miss, what does this mean?”

Jiang Ruan looked at her pityingly: “What should I do, Wu Yiniang, Ruan Niang also sympathizes with you. But if you want to live safely in the house, you must first have a child. Do you understand? If you want children, Then there must be children.”

Hong Ying was stunned for a moment before digesting the meaning of Jiang Ruan’s words. She was shocked and looked at the woman in front of her who didn’t know her: “Miss…”

Jiang Quan smiled slightly: “It’s auntie’s life, and Ruan Niang has no right to intervene.”

Hong Ying’s heart was in chaos. The meaning in Jiang Ruan’s words actually revealed a vague meaning: transfer flowers and trees!

If this matter is successful, her position in the mansion will indeed rise to a higher level. But this is too risky. Once discovered, it would be the crime of confusing the clan’s children and would be beaten to death with a stick. She was shocked by Jiang Ruanyun’s lightly speaking about this, and felt incredible. Jiang Ruan was also the daughter of Jiang’s Mansion, how could she take the initiative to propose to inherit the status of Jiang’s Mansion with someone else’s blood.

Has she ever regarded herself as Jiang’s family?

Hong Ying was unsure, and couldn’t think of any clues for a while. Although Jiang Ruan’s words were frightening, they were inexplicably tempting to her. It’s just that she couldn’t make up her mind for a while, so she could only hurriedly said: “The words of the eldest lady, the concubine… the concubine heard it. The concubine just remembered that there are still things to do, so I won’t bother.”

Jiang Ruan didn’t want to stay, and said with a smile: “Auntie, think about it, don’t rush for a while, just… wait before the mother has an accident.”

When Hong Ying heard this, her heart jumped again, and before staying long, she hurriedly left with her maid.

Forsythia saw her escape from the wild, opened the door and walked in, saying: “Why is Wu Yiniang so scared?”

Bai Zhi stood silently on the side, and Forsythia touched her nose: “It must be frightened by the girl’s demeanor.”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, and Dewdrop just pushed the door and walked in, with a look of excitement and horror, and turned the door tightly locked. Then he closed the window, drew the curtain, and walked to Jiang Ruan’s side.

Several people were made inexplicable by her appearance, and Dewdrop bent over and whispered: “The girl asked the servant girl to investigate Su Xinyuan’s affairs, and the servant girl found out.”

Jiang Ruan looked at her: “This way, there must be something wrong, what’s wrong?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Dewdrop smiled mysteriously. “The servant girl just listened to what was said in the kitchen. The second lady had been in the family temple and her body was weak and tight. The butterflies and dragonflies around her had been prepared in the kitchen these days. The hen, personally make chicken soup for the second lady every day.”

“What’s so strange about this?” Forsythia said.

Dewdrop shook her head: “The slave girl remembers that the second lady once hated chicken soup most. Besides, the second lady is practicing in the temple at home. If she is as painful as they say, she is naturally very pious. But she is so pious, she kept killing and eating meat once back to the house. , Isn’t it the… that broke the precept.”

Jiang Ruan laughed and glanced at Dewdrop appreciatively. Dewdrop’s ability to observe words and behaviors has become stronger now. It is not easy to think of so many.

Dewdrop was also very proud of Jiang Ruan’s expression, and said: “The slave was strange in her heart, so she noticed it again and found that it was really strange. Guess what?”

Dewdrop really regarded this place as a storyteller, and Forsythia couldn’t wait again, and said anxiously: “What the hell is going on?”

“Butterfly and Dragonfly said to make chicken soup, but there was nothing but chicken. To make soup to replenish the body, Angelica should always be used, and red dates should always be used. Is it possible to put a chicken in it?” Luzhu said, “The slave gave it. A sweeping girl in Su Xin Yuan asked the slave girl to find it. The slave girl brought the little Huang who was the guardian, the little yellow nose spirit, and dumbfounded the dead chickens from the bottom of the rose in Su Xin Yuan. They were all The blood was sucked dry, and the feathers were torn apart.” Dewdrop had some lingering fears: “The wound is very hideous, and the slave servant looks scared. He hurriedly buried the dead chicken and hurried back.”

Forsythia and Bai Zhi did not speak, their expressions became solemn. After a long while, Forsythia asked: “Girl, isn’t the second lady possessed by a ghost, or how could such a sorcery happen?”

“Girl, the second lady is so evil right now, do you want to stay in the palace for a while? The second lady dare not follow the Queen Mother.” Bai Zhi also reminded.

Jiang Ruan looked at Dewdrop: “When you look at the dead chicken, the dead chicken’s body was cut by a knife and put blood into it?”

“No,” Dewdrop frowned: “The slave girl was playful when she was a child, and the reed chicken from the aunt’s house next door took a bite from the slave girl, and the slave girl caught up with him and took a bite. The wounded slave girl could see clearly that it was not a knife wound, nor was it like an animal. The bite is like a human bite.”

Bai Zhi and Forsythia took a breath.

Jiang Ruan lowered his head in thought.

Since meeting Jiang Susu at the gate of Jiang’s mansion a few days ago, Jiang Ruan has felt that Jiang Susu is very wrong. Although I can’t tell the specifics, it seems like a different person, and there is always a strange feeling in his body. In the past few days, Jiang Susu never left Suxinyuan, and he rarely even went to see Xia Yan. Staying in the courtyard all day and not knowing what to do. This is too abnormal. Jiang Ruan ordered Luzhu to investigate, but he didn’t expect to find out such a result. It’s incredible.

“The slave maid also thinks that the second lady is really evil,” Luzhu said: “I can see clearly that day, and there is no scar on the second lady’s face. I suffered such a serious injury in the first place, and now I can’t see it at all. , If it weren’t for a monster, how could it become like this?”

“There are no demons in this world.” Jiang Ruan said lightly. Even if there is, she is determined not to be afraid. She herself is a person who has died once. If she is known by others, she is not a monster in the eyes of others. It’s just that Jiang Susu is too abnormal, which makes her feel a little unclear. This made her have to be vigilant.

But she couldn’t help herself with this matter. She thought for a while, then suddenly said: “Luzhu, you go and prepare a carriage, I’m going out soon.”

“Where is the girl going?” Bai Zhi asked curiously.

“Dongfeng Tower.”

Inside the Imperial Study

The emperor who has always been looking at the dizzy frown tightly, staring at the zhezi in front of him, seems to have encountered a very difficult thing. After a while, he asked, “According to you, there are already Nanjiang people’s internal responses in the palace.”

The young man standing in front of the desk was dressed in black and said lightly, “Yes.”

“It’s been my carelessness these years.” The emperor suppressed his deep anger: “I haven’t asked them to settle the account yet, but they made up my mind first. I don’t know whether to live or die!”

“Not only that,” Xiao Shao said, “Tianjin Kingdom suddenly sent troops, and it has a lot to do with that side.”

“Those barbarians in southern Xinjiang are fierce and cunning, and they have cruel methods. I really didn’t expect them to have this kind of scheming. Since they talked about the Kingdom of Heaven and Jin, they must be good for them. Ah Shao, stay in Beijing and check the internal response. The matter, I just overturned the entire capital, and I also want to find that person!”

Xiao Shao nodded.

The emperor’s eyes fell on him, and he suddenly sighed: “You have been in Miaojiang for the last three years, and I know what you are thinking about. But now you see,” a sad expression appeared on the emperor’s brows: “The people in the palace are eager for me. I died earlier. I understand the thoughts of the old eight and five more than they can see. The prince is the virtue of the prince, and he will not be able to protect his life for a while. As for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, in my eyes, I am just a clown. I really think I don’t. Do you know their thoughts? A Shao, you…”

“Your Majesty,” Xiao Shao interrupted him, “If nothing happens, the minister will leave first.”

If someone passed by here, they would be surprised by the relationship between the emperor and King Jinying. The emperor’s voice paused, and a moment later, he waved his hand feebly, “Nothing, you can withdraw.”

Xiao Shao walked to the door, only to hear the emperor’s voice from behind: “You are now at the age when you should be a family. If you are a girl from any family, tell me that I will marry you.”

The black clothes didn’t stop, and he left the Imperial Study Room without hesitation. Only the emperor sighed.

Although Dongfeng Tower is the largest treasure shop in Beijing, not many people go there. It’s just because although the items in it are dazzling, the price is too expensive, and everything is rare. If it weren’t for a wealthy family, there would be no money to buy things here.

Today, there was a carriage trail that stopped at the entrance of Dongfeng Building.

The people passing by looked curiously, wanting to see which son and lady it was. When they saw a stunning girl in a red dress stepping off the carriage, everyone suddenly understood. It was originally the hottest Hongan princess in Beijing today. Regardless of the beauty of the host student of Hong’an County, now she is quite blue-eyed by the queen mother, and the rewards are countless, so she can naturally go to the Dongfeng Tower.

Everyone was envious for a while, and saw the girl in red with two maids walking into the building.

Jiang Ruanfang walked in and walked over to a beautiful maid and said, “Does the girl want to see jewelry?”

Jiang Ruan glanced at her: “I want to see Ye Feng.”

The maid was taken aback, shook her head and said, “Did the girl go to the wrong place?”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took out something from his sleeve and shook it in front of the maid: “Is it all right now?”

When the maid saw clearly what was in Jiang Ruan’s sleeve, her expression suddenly changed and said respectfully: “Girl, please come with the slave and maid.”

Jiang Ruan took the dagger that Xiao Shao had given back into his sleeve, and his heart was really easy to use.

When Fang walked to the weapons shop on the second floor, the maid clicked on the celadon lion head on the wall, a small door opened, and an elegant room appeared next to it. The maid blessed her body: “Girl, please come in, the night leader is inside.”

When Jiang Ruanfang stepped in, he heard an impatient voice saying: “There are so many things all day long, does the master really plan to put me under house arrest for a lifetime? Isn’t it possible for me to apologize to Miss Jiang?”

Jiang Ruan paused and asked with a smile, “Apologize.”

Ye Feng turned back impatiently: “Of course it’s Bao…” The remaining half of the sentence swallowed in his mouth, his mouth widened in surprise: “Miss Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang?”

Jiang Ruan sat down on the chair opposite him and said, “I have an urgent matter. I want to see your master.”
