The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 129. The death of Mrs. Jiang

Jiang Ruan stayed in Jiang’s Mansion for only a few days, but this morning, he saw the second sister-in-law for the first time.

The second sister-in-law has been banned by Jiang Quan since the death of Jiang Li and her husband. Now that he was released suddenly, everyone was a little surprised. What is even more shocking is that when the second aunt came out again, she seemed to be a different person, with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, cautious, where there is still the domineering appearance of the past, if it is said that the aunt is almost the same. The people in the mansion then argued that the second aunt knew that Jiang Li was dead, and that she could only live carefully in Jiang’s mansion. Today is different from the past. The formerly well-known, gentle and virtuous Xia Yan, and the domineering, glamorous and mean-spirited two aunts have all lost their power. At the moment, the head of the mansion is Wu Yiniang Hong Ying from the land of fireworks. Now Hong Ying is even more pregnant, and Jiang Mansion is afraid that the sky will change.

Jiang Ruan met the second aunt in the garden before, and the second aunt was very submissive, but her expression was a little strange. Back to Ruan Juli, Forsythia said: “Girl, the second aunt looks so strange, she looks a bit annoying girl.”

Jiang Ruan groaned slightly and called Dewdrops: “You can ask, before the second aunt was released from house arrest, have you met someone? What’s special recently.”

Dewdrop led away.

Jiang Ruan looked down, and the second aunt saw her gaze annoyed. She was familiar with that look. It was hatred deep in the bones, a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and the sharp arrow lurking in the dark, full of the taste of conspiracy.

She wanted to see what the second aunt wanted to do.

Dewdrop is now Jiang Ruan’s personal maid. Everyone in the mansion knows that she is valued by Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan is also the head of Hong’an County. The people in the mansion treat Dewdrop more politely than before. Luzhu quickly inquired about the news and came back. It was Jiang Dan who had seen the second aunt. These few days, the second aunt was extremely cautious and polite. She was even more submissive to Jiang Quan and generous to the next person. Although the second aunt’s family was from a wealthy family, the second aunt was born as a concubine, and she was usually as shallow as Jiang Li, so she was reluctant to give such a reward. But the rewards are generous these few days. Dewdrop finished speaking, and said eagerly: “Girl, what does the second auntie mean?”

Tian Zhu is also strange, she is used to killing people, but not used to the twists and turns in the house. Forsythia and Baizhi were a little suspicious. Forsythia said: “Girl, you have to be careful these few days. The second aunt has always been arrogant, but now she suddenly acts like this, which is very strange.”

“I know.” Jiang Ruan stood up and said, “Since the fourth sister is so enthusiastic, I might as well find something to do with her.” She squinted her eyes and said with a cold voice: “Jin Er Jin San .”

Two secret guards suddenly appeared in the room, which frightened several servants. Jiang Ruan knew that since Xiao Shao sent two people, the two people usually hide in the dark to protect her. She said: “Tianzhu is a member of the mansion, so it is not convenient to go out. You go to the doctor’s mansion, and I want to ask you for help.”

Jin Er Jin San looked at each other and said in unison: “But listen to the girl’s instructions.”

However, it is said that Jiang’s mansion is all in a shadow because of Jiang Li’s death. The collapse of the former bustling and prosperous Langzhong Mansion is already obvious. Jiang Quan’s career has been smooth a few years ago, but now it is getting more and more unlucky. The relationship with Xiahou Mansion has also been estranged a lot. The few children are even more troublesome, and the only two outstanding are the least favored people in the original mansion.

Mrs. Jiang was already very weak, and because Jiang Li’s death was a serious illness, the doctor had seen it and secretly revealed that Mrs. Jiang would not survive this year. The body is already getting old, and no amount of magical miracles will help. In some respects, Mrs. Jiang is a sensible person, so she understands that this huge Jiang mansion will soon be on the path of decline. , My heart was overwhelmed with worry, and it was even worse. Seeing that the old attitude became clear day by day, and the shrewd and dignified old woman that Jiang Ruanfang saw when he returned to Jiang’s mansion was like two people.

On this day, Du Juan was instructed by Mrs. Jiang to invite Jiang Ruan to sit in the Guilan Courtyard. In the past few days, Mrs. Jiang always called several granddaughters to sit in the house. Mrs. Jiang came to the invitation, but there was no reason to refuse. Jiang Ruan took Forsythia and Bai Zhi to go, and on the road, he ran into Jiang Dan who was walking back.

Seeing Jiang Ruan, Jiang Dan stopped and smiled: “Big sister.”

“Four sisters,” Jiang Ruan said.

Jiang Dan didn’t show aggrieved look after seeing her cold attitude on weekdays. Instead, he was in a good mood and asked: “Big sister is going to the grandmother’s yard?”

Jiang Ruan nodded, and Jiang Dan smiled and said: “Grandmother looks at the big sister very much now, the big sister is really enviable.”

Envy? Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Why the Fourth Sister should be envious, the Fourth Sister will definitely be more valued than me in the future.”

Jiang Dan was taken aback, his eyes flashed, and when he looked at Jiang Ruan, he said meaningfully: “Big sister is used to talking and laughing. It’s getting late. Big sister should go quickly. If the time is delayed, grandmother will punish Dan again. Mother.”

Jiang Ruan nodded and said goodbye, Jiang Dan stood there, looking at Jiang Ruan’s back, slowly showing a pleasant smile.

In the Guilan Courtyard, Caique and Dujuan stood on both sides of Mrs. Jiang, gently shaking her fan, the fan was hit just right, and the cool breeze was blowing slightly, Mrs. Jiang rarely showed a comfortable expression. She is too old to use ice to avoid catching the cold.

Jiang Ruan saw this scene when he entered. Mrs. Jiang looked tired, her clothes were a little wrinkled, her hair was completely white, she opened her eyes slightly when she heard the movement, her eyes were a little muddy.

She was indeed not the hostess who was calling for rain in Jiang’s Mansion, but she was an old man who was very old.

“Girl Ruan is here, come to my grandmother.” Mrs. Jiang beckoned to her lovingly.

In the past and this life, Mrs. Jiang had never treated her so kindly and affectionately. Although Mrs. Jiang had never embarrassed her in her previous life, some behaviors of Xia Yan and Jiang Quan were tacitly approved by her. For Mrs. Jiang, the glory of Jiang’s Mansion is greater than anything else. As long as Jiang’s Mansion can flourish, it is nothing to sacrifice a Jiang Ruan.

In the last life, Mrs. Jiang did not survive the winter of this year. In fact, after she entered the palace, she was sick and unable to sleep during the autumn, and she became thinner and thinner. By the end of the year, she drove west to Hexi. . Now it is only a few months away.

Jiang Ruan Yiyan walked up to Mrs. Jiang and sat down. Caique poured tea for Jiang Ruan. Mrs. Jiang patted Jiang Ruan’s hand and said: “Girl Ruan, this is the new passionate hawthorn tea given this year. We often drink it, your young girl likes to drink sweet, and try it.”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, took up the tea on the table to moisten his mouth, and said, “It’s very sweet.”

Mrs. Jiang smiled more satisfied, and ordered Caique to say: “Cuckoo, pack some for Ruan girl and send it over.” She turned to look at Jiang Ruan, her gaze is really like that of a loving grandmother and a good granddaughter: “In a blink of an eye, girl Ruan is It’s so big, I think when I was just born, it was still a small dumpling.”

For no reason, Mrs. Jiang would naturally not mention this, Jiang Ruan just listened with a smile, and the old lady said again: “Your mother is not fortunate. You left your brothers and sisters early. , Made you feel wronged, and your father has been a soft ear over the years, and he has suffered a lot for you. By the way, the Jiang mansion can’t help you.”

Dujuan went to put tea for Jiang Ruan, and only Yu Caique stood silently on the side. The expressions of Baizhi and Forsythia moved slightly, but Jiang Ruan remained motionless, his expression unchanged, quietly listening to Mrs. Jiang’s remorseful words. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Jiang’s expression paused, just not knowing, and she took her hand and said, “Fortunately, your brothers and sisters are a good blessing. Since they came back to the mansion, they have been lucky. Rezong also bless you in the morning.”

The corner of Jiang Ruan’s lips curled slightly. The meaning of these words was that these good fortunes of their brothers and sisters were originally given by the Jiang family.

Old Mrs. Jiang said: “You are all children of Jiang’s mansion, so you must support each other. Grandmother is alive in a few days. I hope that your sisters and brothers will love each other. In the past, your father couldn’t help you. When you’re locked up, don’t talk about the past. The Jiang family is fine, won’t you have a face in the future?” She whispered: “Your eldest brother is an official in the court, and he wants his brother to help him. When you marry in the future, you don’t have to look at the situation in your home. Grandma knows that you are a good person, and she helps them a lot on weekdays, so she can take care of them in the future.”

Jiang Ruan bowed his head, raised his head and smiled after a moment: “What does grandma want me to do?”

Being so single-handed, Mrs. Jiang was shocked. She knew that this granddaughter was different. It was the people of Jiang’s mansion who looked away and didn’t want her to have this chance now. Only Mrs. Jiang herself knew that she had reached the dying year, and there was not much time. Seeing the Jiang Mansion declining day by day, her heart was anxious. Today’s hope is all on Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi, but the two of them had suffered at the beginning. After Jiang Quan’s neglect, it is inevitable that there will be grievances in his heart. So she brought Jiang Ruan today, but she just wanted to mention a few words about Jiang Ruan, but she didn’t expect Jiang Ruan to have such an attitude.

There was a gloom in Mrs. Jiang’s heart, but Jiang Ruan is now the princess who was invited by the Queen Mother, and the attitude of the general’s mansion is also intriguing. Seeing Jiang Ruan’s indifferent expression, she felt a little weak and angry. He smiled and said: “Your second brother is doing well right now. Since you are close to the empress dowager, you can also mention a sentence or two on weekdays. And Su’er, after all, it’s your sister, some young lady’s party, so you can bring it It’s good to let her see the world.”

I actually wanted to mention Jiang Chao’s meaning. As for Jiang Susu, he is now at the age of looking at others. Whether he grew up in front of him, Mrs. Jiang still has some feelings for Jiang Susu’s grandparents. It’s just… Jiang Ruan smiled faintly: “The harem must not be involved in politics. The empress dowager’s kindness to Ruan Niang is a kindness to her. How dare Ruan Niang control her mind. As for the second sister, the second sister grew up in the middle of Beijing since she was a child. I know more than Ruan Niang, and in comparison, I can see the world more than Ruan Niang.”

Mrs. Jiang is speechless, not to mention Jiang Chao, Jiang Susu alone is a headache. Since Xia Yan’s incident, not only people in Beijing laughed at Jiang Quan for being green hated by the first talented woman in Beijing, but Jiang Susu has also been implicated a lot. The young ladies I made on weekdays have alienated her one after another. It has been a long time since no ladies have come to post to invite her out, and don’t even use to mention marriage in the future. Mrs. Jiang was anxious, so she wanted to let Jiang Ruan take Jiang Susu out, but she didn’t want to be rejected by Jiang Ruan.

“They are all your brothers and sisters, are you unwilling to move out?” Mrs. Jiang was a little angry.

“Shu Ruanniang is really helpless.” Jiang Ruan sighed, “I’m afraid I will disappoint my grandmother.”

Mrs. Jiang fixedly looked at Jiang Ruan and said, “Girl Ruan, are you still complaining about Jiang’s family now?”

Jiang Ruan smiled indifferently, not resentment, but hatred. At the moment, she doesn’t know whether she should think that Mrs. Jiang is naive enough. In this life, she only wants to teach Jiang’s family to collapse step by step, so how can she help Jiang Susu brothers and sisters. Don’t use it to rejuvenate the Jiang family. Since Jiang Quan cares about this mansion so much, wouldn’t it be better to let him watch his cherished things ruin in front of him a little bit.

Xu Ye felt that Jiang Ruan’s smile was too ironic. It was very dazzling in Mrs. Jiang’s eyes. She slammed the table: “Get out!” Caique was startled, and hurriedly came over to comfort him: “Old lady don’t want it. Get angry and take care of your body.”

“Don’t forget that you were born in the Jiang family!” Mrs. Jiang Xu was anxious, and her words were very harsh: “All you eat and use are from the Jiang family. What qualifications do you have to blame the Jiang family? Your mother died It’s early, if it weren’t for the Jiang family, would you still be alive now?”

Caique glanced at Jiang Ruan with some anxiety, but Bai Zhi and Forsythia looked angrily when they heard this. Jiang Ruan stood up and looked at Mrs. Jiang condescendingly. The former master of Jiang’s mansion is now very old. Such a distorted expression and that face with sagging skin look a bit funny.

The Jiang family may have a natural selfishness and insolence from their bones, and they naturally believe that everyone in the world should use it for them. The same goes for Mrs. Jiang. She smiled slightly, with a deep-seated coldness in her tone: “Perhaps I should ask, if it weren’t for the Jiang family, how could my mother die?”

Mrs. Jiang was stunned, her eyes panicked: “What did you say?”

“Perhaps grandmother knows it too, doesn’t it?” Jiang Ruan said lightly.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Get out, I don’t want to see you! Get out!” Mrs. Jiang seemed to be suddenly excited, and she threw the jade pillow out with all her strength. The jade pillow fell to pieces on the ground and broke to the ground. The powder is crystal clear.

Jiang Ruan smiled low, his eyes a little strange: “Sure enough.” Mrs. Jiang met her bright and smiling eyes, and she felt as if she was in the cold cellar, and her whole body couldn’t help shaking.

“What is grandmother afraid to write?” Jiang Ruan said: “I will not treat the Jiang family like the Jiang family to my mother.” It won’t be so easy, the pain that was put on them at the beginning, the Jiang family will one day Return it a thousand times a hundred times.

Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Ruan, her eyes widened, her body suddenly became stubborn, and a trace of blood slowly overflowed from the corner of her mouth. Caique was startled, and patted Mrs. Jiang lightly, “Old lady, what’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Ruan paused and looked at Mrs. Jiang who was slowly softening. Mrs. Jiang’s face showed a pale, dead gray, the corners of her mouth were black and the blood flowing out was clearly black. In a panic, Caique put her finger under Mrs. Jiang’s nose, her face turned pale, and she shouted: “It’s a murder, it’s a murder!”

“What’s the matter?” The busy cuckoo inside also opened the curtain and walked in. At first glance, she was stunned. Caique yelled, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. “The lady killed the old lady! Come here!” Help!”

The expressions of Bai Zhi and Forsythia changed, and they all said in unison: “What are you talking about? The girl is standing here, what’s the matter with the girl, you are not bloody mouth!”

“Oh my God! Miss, you murdered the old lady?” A familiar voice sounded from the door, with a bit of acrimony of the past. When you listen carefully, you can still hear a bit of comfort. It is the second aunt.

Jiang Ruan narrowed his eyes, smiled coldly, and looked at the Caique holding Mrs. Jiang: “Caique, did you really see me killing?”

When Caique was seen by those eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, but she quickly replied: “There are only the eldest lady and the old lady in the room, and the eldest lady and the old lady are very close, and the old lady still quarreled with the eldest lady. Get up…”

“Oh my God,” the second aunt exclaimed: “Even if you have a dispute with the old lady, you can’t just kill the old lady. Such a rebellious thing, my goodness!”

“Auntie please respect yourself,” Forsythia said angrily: “Do you know what crime is to slander the current princess?”

The second sister-in-law paused slightly, and continued to speak loudly: “What? The princess can kill at will? Why not kill the concubine at the same time, is there any king in this world?”

She had a very high voice, and almost all the servants in the palace were shocked. Jiang Susu and Jiang Dan hurried over, Hong Ying was farther away, and was supported by someone with a big belly. There should be a maid telling the matter along the way. When they saw Jiang Ruan, they looked at her with complicated eyes.

Jiang Susu was a little gloating, but Jiang Dan plopped and said in a panic: “Grandma, what’s the matter with grandma?”

“Four sisters don’t understand?” Jiang Ruan said calmly: “Grandma was murdered, so she won’t look down if she wants to die.”

Jiang Dan looked at Jiang Ruan with a sad expression, “Big sister, why did you harm your grandmother, who loves you so much? Today, I even specially asked you to sit in the yard. How could you harm her like this?”

“Four sisters, beware of the disaster.” Jiang Ruan reminded: “The princess’s words are not as good as a rude maid? From beginning to end, it seems that only Caique said that the princess killed her grandmother. As the concubine of the princess, the fourth sister does not believe in her sister, but in a maid? Is the sisterhood too cold.”

Jiang Dan was speechless, but couldn’t find the words back and forth. Only a cold male voice came in: “This official is on duty, come here, and take down the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who murdered the ancestor!”

It was actually a team of officers and soldiers. Jiang Ruan looked at the leading official with a smile, and said softly: “This princess never knew that the patrol house moved so fast, as if… I knew that grandmother would have an accident.”
