The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 166. Self-inflicted

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention the young lady who was seen naked in the public. The gossip quickly wandered the streets and alleys of the capital on the same day. However, the house leak happened in the rain at night, and there was such a case that the news was not enough. God seemed to think that Jiang’s Mansion was not troublesome enough, and another gossip was also released at the same time.

In Jinying Palace, Jiang Ruan is sitting at the table drinking tea. The superb Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots are paired with exquisite peony tea bean paste, which is just right sweet, and it won’t make people tired. The cooks at Jinying Palace are first-class, simple and exquisite, and even the imperial dining room in the palace is not necessarily able to produce such good things. The servants in the house told Luzhu that the old King Jinying was a life-saving person, and these cooks were carefully collected from outside. It’s just that since the old couple left Jinying, Xiao Shao has a cold temper, and eats things more simply. These cooks have always been heroic and useless. It was so easy for a young lady to come, and naturally resorted to all his best to discuss it. She is happy, and only hopes that she can vote for Jiang Ruan’s fate, and have more opportunities to show her cooking skills in the future.

Although this reason sounds a little ridiculous, Luzhu’s heart is gradually relieved, just because these people have revealed a message in and out of words, that is, the servants of the Jinying Palace really took Jiang Ruan as his wife. , Otherwise why spend such thoughts. Nowadays, the most worrying of several maids is that the palace of Jiang Ruan Rujinying can be regarded as a high-married man. Xiao Shao said that he could not stand the slaves in this mansion to bully the Lord. Now the people in the mansion treat Jiang Ruanju respectfully. Looking at the Jinying Palace and Xiao Shao, there is nothing wrong with it from beginning to end.

Jiang Ruan was drinking tea and saw Forsythia walking in from outside, smiling: “Girl.”

Jiang Ruan replied, and Forsythia put the freshly picked flowers into the large vase with gold and phoenix colors. Although the embroidery of the Jinying Palace was brilliant, perhaps Xiao Shao himself was too deserted and felt that there was no embellishment. It looked a little depressed. It was originally Xiao Shao alone, and Jiang Ruan would also live in Jinying Palace in the future. Forsythia was thinking about how to add some color. After all, the minds of men and women are different. Even if they pick a few flowers and put them in a vase, they are quite popular, right?

“Girl,” Forsythia said while arranging flowers: “The slave and maid had heard of a major event outside today. Guess what it is, the girl?” Although she tried her best to maintain her composure, her face was a little bit of joy in her eyes. It was an unstoppable smile. Jiang Ruan glanced at her and said, “Have something happened to Hongying?”

“The girl is so amazing,” Forsythia was stunned, ran to Jiang Ruan, blinked, and said, “Isn’t it? A slave and maidservant heard it as soon as he left the house today. The streets and alleys are talking about this. It’s something, it’s said that the master kicked Aunt Hong’s childbirth!”

“Small production?” Jiang Ruan’s expression flashed.

“This is a long story.” Hong Ying sat down on the small bench on one side, and he was very interested in talking about it, and that posture caught up with the storyteller in the restaurant. She said: “I heard, yesterday a fifth aunt was running around for a day, and the master invited the imperial doctor in the palace to show her body. At first it was also good, but when the imperial doctor is coming soon, the fifth aunt Suddenly he said that he was extremely unwell and he just wanted to get a quick sleep. This master is also a shrewd man. He immediately felt that something was wrong, so he quarreled with Wu Yiniang, who knows–“Lian Qiao sold it. , I wanted to hang on Jiang Ruan’s curiosity, but when I looked up, I saw that Jiang Ruan’s expression never fluctuated. As if I had already expected it, I touched his nose angrily, and continued: “Who knows but from five Two big cotton pillows fell out of my aunt’s belly!”

When Forsythia talked about this, he was very excited, and said: “At that time, the master found that he was deceived. He said that it was too late and it was fast, so he kicked it over, and then—” Forsythia coughed. Two voices: “The most important place is here, Wu Yiniang screamed, wailing [You unscrupulous, how can you treat me like this?] The master said [Ying’er, I treat you with sincerity, but you expire With me! I—it broke my heart!]”

“Stop, stop–” Jiang Ruan stroked his forehead, and Forsythia said the same as a notebook. What I didn’t know was that I saw it with my own eyes. If you go on, people from Jinying Palace can come and listen. Ready-made storytelling, you don’t need to pay any money. She said: “No need to say these.”

Forsythia was very regretful for not being able to use his talent as a storyteller, but he still honestly said: “Then the master kicked it, and Wu Yiniang saw the red. It happened that the time had come, so she took a look. Look, the master kicked so well, he kicked out the child in the belly of the fifth concubine. It’s a real child, it’s less than three months.”

Jiang Ruan pondered for a moment before he said, “It was so.”

It turned out that when the imperial doctor was about to come, Hong Ying felt a little flustered in his heart no matter how calm he was. Once he was flustered, Hong Ying would easily become stupid. If he was usual, Hong Ying would be considered a wise man and would never make such a mistake. I was afraid that I was nervous and panicked yesterday, so I made up such a clumsy excuse. Although Jiang Quan loves Hongying, it doesn’t mean that he is a fool who can be deceived. In addition, after Xia Yan’s incident, Jiang Quan is already sensitive to the issue of heirs. When Hong Ying is suspicious, he becomes aggressive. In the dispute, Hong Ying reveals his stuffing, and Jiang Quan is not angry. After being teased by his own woman one after another, how Jiang Quan swallowed this breath, or how he spoiled Hong Ying on weekdays, now Hong Ying is unforgivable in his eyes.

Who knows what’s wrong, Hongying herself doesn’t know when she was actually pregnant. She had a fluke mentality before she came. She used some tiger-wolf medicine during the fake pregnancy. This tiger-wolf medicine happened to be here again. Only then did it work. Hong Ying was really pregnant, but was kicked away by Jiang Quan.

The imperial physician who diagnosed and treated Hongying didn’t have a handle. Perhaps he thought that the Jiang family’s affairs were really worth talking about and joking, so he turned around and told his colleagues. There are so many imperial physicians in the palace, some are related to the nobles, some are from poor backgrounds, and therefore, in a short time, Jiang Quan kicked the news of the miscarriage in his concubine, from the family of honorable people to the poor people. No one knows that no one knows, it really moved the capital.

Jiang Ruan looked down. At this time, Xia Yan struggled with Hong Ying in the last life and was so helpless to fight, let alone mention any heirs. If she didn’t move other greed in this life, she might be able to live a good life. Now her hopes for the rest of her life are ruined. Jiang Quan will never show mercy to a woman who turns him into a joke. Hong Ying’s fate can be imagined. But the most painful thing at the moment should be Jiang Quan. Jiang Chao and him have a slight estrangement. Jiang’s children are not prosperous. Jiang Quan regards the child in the red belly so much, and now he died by his own hands. It is undoubtedly a huge blow to people like Jiang Quan.

Forsythia said again: “Listen again, girl, the fifth lady is like this, the second lady is still busy. Since yesterday noon, many people have surrounded the gate of the mansion and asked to marry the second lady, saying that the second lady’s body was affected by them. They were responsible for seeing them. These people couldn’t drive away anyway. They asked the guards to save them and they lay at the door crying, saying that Jiang Mansion had killed people. The master was furious, so he apologized in front of everyone and said that Miss Jiang Er Sent to the temple to be an aunt. The second lady fainted and quarreled with the master when she heard about it, but the master was determined. Today, the master sent the second lady to the temple a hundred miles away. It’s said that you have to really cut your hair and be a sister-in-law.”

“It’s really cheap to be an auntie.” Forsythia said angrily: “I should really let her marry those talents. But the master has always loved Miss Er. This action undoubtedly ruined Miss Er’s life, which is surprising.”

“How come?” Jiang Ruan said lightly. Forsythia heard something strange in her voice, raised her eyes, but was startled by the coldness in Jiang Ruan’s eyes. He only heard Jiang Ruan say: “He is trying his best to pave the way for the second sister.”

Isn’t it? If Jiang Susu really married one of these street gangsters, his life would be ruined. But if she twisted her hair and went to work as an aunt in the temple, she would save the face of Jiang’s family and found a step for Jiang Susu so that her face would not be trampled on all the time. Away from the secular customs of the capital, Jiang Susu will gradually fade out of people’s vision until there is an opportunity for Jiang Susu to return to Beijing again. And when will Jiang Susu return to Beijing again, it will naturally be the time when the success of the conquest of the protagonist will come to an end, the first emperor will die, the new emperor will ascend to the throne, and the great cause will be declared.

At that time, Jiang Quanxu would be rewarded, with fame and power as the guarantee, who cares about Jiang Susu’s past? Jiang Quan made a good move, and he paved the way for this daughter step by step in his past and present life, and kept her safe and smooth.

Jiang Susu once said in her previous life that she could not tolerate sand in her eyes. Little did she know that Jiang Susu was also a grain of sand in her eyes in this life. In this life, she was vicious and ruthless, and most of all she could not see the picture of the father’s kindness and filial piety. Jiang Quan played well in this game, but she didn’t want to achieve it.

“Forsythia, go out and tell Jin Er,” Jiang Ruan looked down: “I want to ask him to help with something.”

The hidden Wei Jin Er Jin San in the mansion cannot be too far away from Jiang Ruan. Forsythia responded and asked: “What does the girl want to explain to Jin Er?”

Forsythia looked outside for a long time and never saw Jin Er, but saw another person dressed as a guard from a distance. This life is a bit familiar, but Forsythia can’t remember seeing it somewhere. It is Xiao Shao. ‘S men. He stepped forward and asked, “This man, I know where Jin Er is.”

The man turned around, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was considered handsome. He stared at Forsythia for a long while, and forsythia was a little strange to him. As soon as his pungent temperament came up, Liu brow raised his eyebrows and said: “What do you look at! ”

“You were telling the story just now.” The man said, although his expression was correct, his words contained three-point teasing.

Forsythia was startled, and then angrily said: “What’s up with you! You are an eavesdropper. I turned around and told the girl that the prince knows it and I can’t fix you!”

This man is no one else, but Ye Feng. In the past few years, he has been neglected by Xiao Shao in Yibao Pavilion to collect information. In the past few days, Xiao Shao summoned him back for an unprecedented period of time. He was just outside when Forsythia told Jiang Ruan about the Jiang’s mansion. He was still very surprised. Which maid is so articulate. If there is such a living treasure by his side when performing a task, it must be a bit boring and unnoticeable. of.

At this moment, I heard Forsythia talk about Jiang Ruan, but his brows twitched. It was not because he made a mistake last time. Xiao Shao left him in the cold because of Jiang Ruan for several years. Now Jiang Ruan has a higher status and is about to become If the young lady of Jinying Prince’s Mansion annoyed her, no, it was annoyed the maid beside the young lady. With Xiao Shao’s temperament to protect his wife, I was afraid that she would not be merciful to him. Immediately he said: “It’s mine, isn’t it, what are you looking for Jiner for?”

“Mrs. Young has something to do for him.” Forsythia is frank, not a caretaker. Since Ye Feng has already apologized, she doesn’t need to hold on to it all the time.

“He has a mission, he is not in the house right now.” Ye Feng said.

Forsythia frowned: “Then when can he return home?”

“Tomorrow night.” Ye Feng said: “Why, is there something important?”

“Tomorrow night will be a little late…” Forsythia bit her lip, her expression a little anxious: “How come you go out at this time?”

Ye Feng was curious: “I do the same if there are things.”

“You?” Forsythia squinted at him, shook his head and said: “I really can’t believe it.”

She squinted her eyes, and a little unconsciously charming girl came out from the bottom of her eyes. The maids around Jiang Ruan were quite outstanding, with dignified Baizhi, spicy forsythia, smart dew, and deserted Tianzhu, each with its own special taste. Among these people, Forsythia and Dewdrops are the most popular among men. It is not long to come to Jinying Palace, but Xiao Shao’s subordinates are very courteous to forsythia and dewdrops.

The women that Ye Feng faces on weekdays are either deserted like those in Jinyiweizhong, or rouge and vulgar fans like those in the brothel. It’s rare to see a woman with such a straightforward temperament, whose every move is true. At the moment, the apricot eyes and peach cheeks, the lips are a little red because of the slight dullness, and the face is puffed more and more, and my heart immediately moves, and before Forsythia speaks, I have already developed a bit of a young man’s eagerness to win, and grabbed it. Forsythia’s wrist: “Can’t believe it? I just want you to believe it!” After saying that, he grabbed Forsythia and leaped out of the yard, ignoring Forsythia’s panicked scream.

On the roof, Jin San spit out a piece of grass chewing in his mouth, and only said one word: “Silly.”

Jin Si curled her mouth and patted her sleeve: “Let’s go, go to work!”

However, it is said that from the area of Yunding Mountain, there are grass and trees, and there are muddy trails all the way, and star-point muddy water splashes from time to time when the carriage is gurgling. At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, and it was still a little far from the destination. There was no place to stay anywhere, and there was no place to stay for a few miles. The carriage is destined to sleep in the wilderness tonight.

Even so, the carriage is luxuriously arranged, at least it looks very comfortable on the outside, and the coachman who drives the horse is also experienced, and the bumps and bumps along the way are suppressed to the minimum, which is considered to be very caring.

The leading guard said: “Just rest here.”

In the carriage, Jiang Susu had a pale face, and his expression was full of indifference. When the dragonfly on one side saw this, he whispered comfortingly: “Girl, it’s late, let’s rest with some soup.”

Since the butterfly was sold to the kiln by Jiang Susu after the purple river car accident, Jiang Susu has never brought up the second-class maid under his hand. The first-class maid still lacks a place, and has always been a dragonfly to take care of it. By your side. Dragonfly can also be regarded as Jiang Susu’s confidant. She is very loyal to Jiang Susu, and she also helps out some ideas on weekdays, but she never thought that Jiang Susu would fall to this point now. She is a maid, and she naturally wants to share the joys and sorrows with the young lady, even if she goes to the family temple to be an aunt.

But Dragonfly also understands that Jiang Quan’s love for Jiang Susu for so many years is not fake, and now it’s only a stopgap measure to go to the temple to be an aunt. After all, Jiang Susu ruined his reputation, and staying in the capital would be useless. After these rumors gradually subsided in the future, if he finds another opportunity to take Jiang Susu back to his mansion, everything can be repeated. Dragonfly also persuaded Jiang Susu by these words, but Jiang Susu never heard him. Jiang Quan drugged Jiang Susu’s food last night. Jiang Susu woke up early this morning and was in the carriage. Weak, beat her and scolded her, first she was on the verge of collapse, and then she didn’t know what to think of and gradually calmed down, but her expression was surprisingly cold.

Dragonfly didn’t think too much, just thinking that Jiang Susu probably wanted to understand and understood the benefits, so she just stopped making noise.

Jiang Susu glanced at the soup that Dragonfly handed over, and said: “I see, let the guards stay away. I don’t want to stay with these people.”

Dragonfly thought for a while, then got out of the carriage and ordered the guards to retreat. After all, there is probably not much danger out there. What’s the matter, these guards can also have time.

When Dragonfly returned to the carriage, Jiang Susu had finished drinking the soup in the bowl, and said to her: “It’s a bit crude, you can drink some too.”

Dragonfly gave Jiang Susu a flattered glance. Although she is Jiang Susu’s confidant, Jiang Susu usually treats her as generous, but Jiang Susu is a natural superior in his bones. Even Jiang Ruan can’t even look at it, let alone a servant. NS. Talking to Dragonfly so peacefully, Dragonfly was still very surprised.

“You don’t have to look at me like this,” Jiang Susu lowered his head and said, “Now I am nothing more than an aunt in the temple, and I am not an official lady anymore. There is no difference in identity between you and me.”

When Dragonfly heard Jiang Susu say this, she only said that she was still resenting the matter, and said: “The girl must not say this. Now it is just a temporary suffering. The girl is always the young lady from Shangshu Mansion, and the servant girl will always be the girl’s servant girl. ”

Jiang Susu smiled slightly: “What you said is very good. Have some soup. You have worked hard with me today.”

She said this several times, and Dragonfly couldn’t refuse any more, so she picked up the bowl and drank the soup. After she finished drinking, she saw Jiang Susu staring at her unblinkingly. The dragonfly was a little chilly by Jiang Susu’s stare, and said in a low voice, “What can the girl tell me?”

Just listen to Jiang Susu sighed: “Dragonfly, do you think I am beautiful?”

“The girl is so beautiful. This city can no longer pick out a beauty like a girl.” Dragonfly said. These words are not flattery. Jiang Susu’s natural beauty has become even more beautiful after practicing the charm technique.

“I am so beautiful, how can I be a sister-in-law?” Jiang Susu asked suddenly.

“Girl…” Dragonfly was taken aback.

“I’m not going to be a sister-in-law,” Jiang Susu said with a weird smile on his lips: “I am so beautiful, and I can naturally find a place to shelter and get the highest position. How can my appearance be wasted in vain?”

Dragonfly was a little disturbed by Jiang Susu’s weird look. He wanted to talk, but suddenly felt his mind dizzy. He fell unsupportively on the little table in the carriage: “Girl…you…have you taken the medicine?”

“I won’t be a sister-in-law.” Jiang Susu smiled.

Dragonfly understood what she wanted to do, and tried her best to say: “It’s not good—”

The sound stopped abruptly, her eyes widened, and she stared at Jiang Susu incredulously. The dagger in Jiang Susu’s hand was pouring out of blood. She pumped hard, and the dragonfly’s body fell soft. She opened her mouth like a stranded fish, and she could only make a rustling voice helplessly, but it didn’t make a sentence.

Jiang Susu didn’t even look at her: “I missed the one who spared you for serving me for so many years. I don’t know how to lift up! What a dog that got in the way.”

After that, he took off Jiang Susu’s outer garment.

The guards outside heard the movement here from a distance, and wanted to come over to ask, they heard Jiang Susu say loudly: “Go, throw these out!”

Then, under the dim moonlight, the dragonfly came out carrying a tray. When the guards saw this, they all started laughing and drinking again, never looking here again.

Jiang Susu ran for a stick of incense, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the entrance to the woods ahead. She took off the outer jacket that was still stained with dragonfly blood and threw it on the ground, clenching the letter paper in her sleeve.

She woke up today, and she didn’t know who had nailed a letter in the carriage. The envelope only said that he was longing for her for a long time, not willing to see her being sent to the temple, willing to be her shelter, and placing her under the wings.

The letter paper has a faint smell of peach blossom ink, and it should be written by a large family. Looking at the handwriting, it is also very romantic. Although Jiang Susu didn’t know who this person was, he still expected to be a child of a noble family, and he thought he was one of those people who longed for her in the past. In the past, Jiang Susu was just dismissive, but now even Jiang Quan has to abandon her, this person is like a life-saving straw. She firmly believes that she can grasp this person’s heart with her beauty, and will naturally be able to climb step by step with her wrist in the future, better than being an aunt. This person also attached Mongolian sweat medicine, and she used this method.

The man asked her to wait in the woods, but he didn’t know when he would come. At this moment, Yuehei and the wind were high, and it was just a little gloomy, and Jiang Susu couldn’t help but become a little scared.

When he was in a panic, he could only hear the sound of footsteps behind him. Jiang Susu was overjoyed and turned around hurriedly, saying, “But the son of Jiu Susu is coming?”

The man’s footsteps paused. At the moment the moonlight was reflected, Jiang Susu’s body became stiff, because she could see clearly that the person here was just a middle-aged strong man. A terrible scar was drawn from her forehead to the corner of her eye. Humph, a lewd smile suddenly appeared.
