The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 198. break

As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar. The farce of Shangshufu was well known in the capital a few years ago. When Xia Yan was born, how innocent he was and how to pass on his virtue and art, and then he was picked out. In fact, if he is guilty of virtue, it is more disgusting. At this moment, hearing the words of these two girls, immediately like dropping a stone in the calm lake water, it can’t stop the ripples. Someone who was a little older recalled Zhao Mei, the first wife of Shangshufu.

Speaking of who has some impressions of Zhao Mei, in fact, they still have a good impression of her. Zhao Mei was born beautiful, with a simple and good temperament, and often helped the poor when he married into Shangshufu. She never dislikes the poor and loves the rich, let alone put on the airs of a noble lady, she is surprisingly approachable. It’s just that these good reputations finally all belonged to Shang Shufu, which added a lot of bargaining chips to Jiang Quan’s official career. Jiang Quan’s reputation for incorruptibility among the people at the beginning may not be without Zhao Mei’s credit.

Only later Zhao Mei gradually faded out of people’s field of vision, and then a gentle, virtuous and talented Xia Yan appeared, and Jiang Quan deliberately raised it. People only remember that the current lady of Shangshufu is Xia Yan instead of Zhao Mei. At this moment, when two girls mentioned it, some people remembered the beautiful and kind young woman. When the heart of the people is good, the injustice said: “Oh, who is the key to the youngest life, the first lady, the first lady is a Nice and kind person.”

The officer stepped forward and took the shape in Forsythia’s hand, and glanced at the crowd. Now that Hong’an Princess is hot. There is also the great backer of Jinying Prince’s Mansion behind it, so I don’t dare to neglect Jiang Ruan’s name. After only a few noises, the crowd was not allowed to make noise, and walked in with the zodiac.

It probably takes one day for the case division to open the court. Ordinary cases go directly to the yamen for trial, unless it is a noble family who has a huge grievance and is afraid of the human rights of the accused. People in the big yamen intervened and decided that the case was unfair, so they were added to the Division of Justice. The case secretary can also choose whether or not to try the case. After all, the wealthy people have too many twists and turns in their homes, and if they are not careful, they will cause trouble to the upper body. However, since an official dared to resolve the complaint today, it was obvious that he had been greeted by an adult long before, and the case was to be tried. The surrounding crowd knew that there would be another excitement to watch tomorrow.

Dewdrops were especially not enough, and deliberately said loudly: “Xia Yan, the concubine of Shangshu Mansion, used poison to murder the mistress and the maternal concubine. The methods are vicious. Zhou. The mother-in-law died, but she said she was ill and died. I beg you to hear the case and give my lady and wife innocence and justice!”

The crowd that was about to disperse suddenly boiled again, and Dewdrop’s words could be described as a shocking scandal. In fact, there are not a few cases of large families and concubines murdering the upper ranks of the main house. But if Jiang Quan knew what was happening but pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even acquiesced to Xia Yan’s approach in it, this would be the first time. If there are officials in the capital who have a reputation for not being fools, they will definitely not let this happen. Just because if it is exposed, it will be a huge stain. The women’s fight in the backyard is jealous. Men shouldn’t get involved, especially when they do things that make things worse. A person can treat his wife so cruelly, and there is no humanity at all.

For example, before Jiang Quan was just a ridiculous person who couldn’t handle things in the backyard. Now, as soon as Dewdrop’s words come out, Jiang Quan will become the representative of an ugly man in the capital from now on. He is benevolent and hypocritical, and his heart is vicious, and he has a decisiveness to abandon even his own flesh and blood. Being a parent to do his job is really one in a million.

Dewdrop and Forsythia smiled at each other, there was a kind of refreshment that sighed fiercely. They have been with Jiang Ruan for many years, and they have a clear idea of how Jiang Quan’s attitude towards Jiang Ruan is. It is better not to have such a father. Zhao Mei’s death was wronged. Jiang Ruan’s position in Shangshufu has gone from being bullied to now not being underestimated. Now it can be regarded as a small revenge, and she is very happy.

The matter that Hong’an Princess sued his biological father spread throughout the capital in a short period of time. Both Xia Yan and the Xia family are gone, and Jiang Chao and Jiang Susu are also dead. Naturally, there is no proof. However, the only Jiang Quan is still alive, which is tantamount to pointing all the fingers at Jiang Quan.

In the palace, Jiang Ruan looked at the sun in the sky. Early in the morning, the snow stopped, and even a little sun appeared. The weather was good. She slowly took a sip from the teacup and said to Jin San and Tianzhu beside her: “Let’s go, time is almost there. ”

Tianzhu got up and put the silver rat fur cloak on her, and put a heater in her hand before going out with her.

Shangshufu is extremely lively today. Since the death of Jiang Chao, it is wrong. It should be said that since many years ago, when Jiang Quan’s career began to decline, Shangshufu has no longer been busy. When Jiang Quan was in the DPRK like a fish, people who wanted to visit came every day, and the desk with many posts in the room couldn’t be put down. Jiang Quan discussed the current situation in the DPRK with the dignitaries, Xia Yan chatted and laughed with the noble ladies, they were all exquisite people, and directly taught the laughter and laughter of the whole Jiang’s mansion. At that time, Jiang Susu was still an unconventional fairy, and he could play a song in the garden to make people stop and linger. Many princes, grandsons, and nobles were all deceived by the beautiful sound of the piano. They stood in the corner of the outer wall and listened to the music, and fell in love with the beautiful woman. And Jiang Chao always came back from the Imperial College triumphantly in spring breeze, and talked with the younger brothers of the new family.

At that time, Mrs. Jiang was still alive. The second aunt and Jiang Li dared to be angry with Xia Yan every day. Jiang Dan shrank in the house cowardly, and it was a prosperity in the end. People have speculated that the seemingly clear Shangshu Mansion will one day become the mainstay of the imperial court. Because they are loyal enough and there is no mistake.

All this prosperity seems to be still yesterday, and the excitement has nothing to do with Jiang Ruan, as if the three of them have always been strangers. When she came later, Shang Shufu seemed to be caught in an evil, and gradually declined. The glory of the past is no longer there, and everyone has said that it is not that the time has not come. God is watching from above. The cause planted by Shangshu Mansion in the past has finally caused today’s evil results. In recent years, Jiang’s mansion has been in frequent accidents, and now Jiang Ruan’s paper complaint is to tear up the real reason for everyone to see.

The common people are simple and straightforward in their minds. Some people blocked the door of Shangshu Mansion and threw eggs and greens leaves at the door. The guards of the Jiang Mansion came out to stop them, and they were scolded and dared no longer. Reluctantly, I had to close the door dingy in the anger of the people, and the anger was hard to commit.

When the crowd was filled with righteous indignation, they saw a carriage slowly coming from the crowd, and the crowd split into two automatically. The carriage was exquisitely made but not long-lived, and had a low beauty. The driver who drove the carriage was a tall and handsome young man, and he knew it was a wealthy man at first glance. People just look at it and they seem to be able to perceive that the people in the carriage are either rich or expensive. Seeing that it is from Shangshufu, they all silently waited and watched.

The carriage finally stopped, the curtain was lifted, and two tall young women jumped out of it. The two men bowed and lifted a woman down from the carriage.

The woman was wearing a scarlet-pigmented velvet embroidered jacket and a bright jade dress with flowers and crepe underneath. The red and green colors were not gaudy, but she was shockingly beautiful. He was covered with a gold and silver rat hair cloak, and he held a heater in his hands. His complexion was as fair as jade, and his face was charming. He only combed a quiet, fallen pony bun, which suppressed the beauty a little bit. A pair of eye-catching eyes is astonishing, but his eyes are dull, showing a bit of apathy and indifference to that moving bright and beautiful.

Someone in the crowd recognized her and exclaimed: “Isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Princess Hong’an!”

Jiang’s daughter, this is her first name. Even though she is Princess Jinying and the lord of Hong’an, she is the daughter of Jiang’s first daughter. Being here at this moment is thought-provoking. Everyone knows that she sent her girl to the case secretary to file a lawsuit early this morning. What is she doing now in Shangshufu? Everyone looked at it with gusto, and wanted to see what she would do next.

Jiang Ruan winked at Tianzhu, Tianzhu understood, and walked forward to the gate of Shangshu Mansion and knocked on the door three times. Her actions were polite and gentle, not like looking for fault, but like a guest. She was very polite, and then respectfully said: “Please inform us, my princess will return home today to Ning.”

Since Jiang Ruan married into Jinying Palace, he was poisoned before Guining had had time. But even so, Shangshu Mansion is not a miles away from Jinying Palace. If you are interested, you can always send someone to ask. Unexpectedly, Jiang Quan was able to say nothing and never mentioned it. As if she was not like her daughter at all, when Tian Zhu mentioned Guining, the people around him took a breath. I had known that Jiang’s daughter and Jiang Quan were not very close, but they were so cool, and it was really a joke to be married so long before returning to Ning.

The people inside did not respond for a long time, Tian Zhu carefully retreated behind Jiang Ruan, and the three of them stood quietly at the door of Jiang’s mansion. The surrounding crowd talked in low voices, but they were also shocked by the coldness of Jiang Ruan at this moment. . Because her eyes were so deep at the moment, it was as if she was not looking at Jiang’s Mansion, but through the gate of Jiang’s Mansion, watching the long time passed.

Jiang Ruan’s thoughts returned to her last life, and it was also such a snowy day. She returned to Jiang Mansion from Zhuangzi for the first time. It was my own home, but it seemed to be under the fence. Standing at the door of Shangshufu was both nervous and joyful. She was dressed in shabby clothes. There were people around her who were pointing and guessing about her identity. She felt ashamed and ashamed. At this door, Xia Yan and Jiang Susu were dressed brightly and greeted her. The more gentle and elegant they are, the more vulgar she is set off. Just under the plaque of Jiang’s Mansion, the closed door opened, and various injuries and shame poured out from it. She went from the gate of the Jiang mansion to the gate of the deep palace, and she was more embarrassed every time. The scene from the previous life was like a joke, reminding her of her unbearable past.

What about now? Jiang Ruan raised his head and his eyes fell on the huge plaque of Shangshu Mansion. That was a plaque bestowed by the emperor, Jiang Quan’s pride, but I don’t know when it was already covered with dust. What Xia Yan loved most in his previous life was to instruct his servants to wipe the plaque clean, as if it represented the glory of the Jiang family. Now the Jiang family is about to collapse. She was here when she returned to Jiang’s house in this life. She swore an oath outside the gate to slaughter all the people who had hurt her relatives in her previous life. She planted a seed of revenge here. Now the seed has long been broken. It grows into a towering tree, and with a little effort, the huge tomb where she and her family are buried can be uprooted.

I don’t know how long it took, the door opened with a creak. Behind Jiading behind the door, a man in official uniform walked out slowly. He looked gloomy and stared at Jiang Ruan viciously.

Perhaps Jiang Quan had not had time to change his clothes just after his next dynasty, or he wanted to use this clothes to suppress Jiang Ruan’s momentum. It’s just that the appearance is really haggard. Jiang Ruan smiled and greeted politely: “Father, long time no see.”

After not seeing him for a long time, Jiang Quan is almost different from the elegant and determined middle-aged man in Jiang Ruan’s impression. He lost a lot of weight, his complexion was very tanned, his cheekbones on both sides were deeply sunken, he was surprisingly thin, and his whole person was already showing an old state. Jiang Quan has always been a person who pays attention to appearance, even if he is not confused at the beginning of the year, he is like the old one, and he is very young and elegant. Now he looks like a poor-looking man, and he may still be a little bit depressed.

Only the indifference and meanness in his eyes were exactly the same as the previous life. Jiang Quan sneered: “Guining, do you still see my Jiang family in your eyes?”

Jiang Ruan nodded: “I have my father in my heart, and I never dare to forget it all the time.” How dare to forget blood feuds and shame? The corners of her lips raised slightly: “It’s just that the father doesn’t seem to like his daughter so much.”

The meaning of this statement was accusing Jiang Quan of being unkind to his father. Jiang Quan was anxious and said angrily: “I have shortened your food and clothing costs, don’t forget that I am still your father! Without me , How did you grow up to this age? Now that your wings are stiffened and someone is backing you up, you are actually arranging you Lao Tzu! Where are the wild rules learned from the wild places!” Jiang Quan is a literati, and he has never spoken very well. No one has ever seen him swear so vulgarly. At this moment, I was also very anxious and did not hesitate to speak, but I was teaching the people around me to see the real appearance.

“Without a father, naturally there is no me.” Jiang Ruan said indifferently: “Thanks to my father, when my mother was still there, my eldest brother and I only saw my father dozens of times a year. The younger sister and the second brother stayed with their father all day. The second brother can enter the father’s study, but the eldest brother even invited the master from the mother. The second sister has the best qin, chess, calligraphy and painting mother, but I am from the mother. I taught myself—Kemang came from a family of military commanders and didn’t know anything about them. Father, are you saying that it’s because you are sympathetic to my mother who wants me and my eldest brother to stay with me and the motherly heart all the time?”

These words were full of irony, Jiang Quan’s face slowly turned red, and he immediately retorted: “This…”

“But it’s really nice to stay with my mother. It’s nothing. I don’t love the paintings and calligraphy of piano and chess. My eldest brother now has no way of practising civil servants. All this thanks to his father’s foresight.” Jiang Ruan There was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, and he continued: “It’s just that my eldest brother wanted to hire a doctor during the night, but Aunt Xia said that my father had already fallen asleep. Now, the eldest brother can’t be as safe as this. What explanation does this father have to say.” Before Jiang Quan could speak, Jiang Ruan smiled: “My father is busy with official duties. At the same time, my father did not come, only the day when Aunt Xia helped her right up to the disc, the father came, and the father took the second brother and the second sister and smiled very happy. The eldest brother was angry and left home, but I was sent to the Zhuangzi.”

She laughed softly: “Why did you remember being sent to Zhuangzi’s father? Because a Taoist priest said that I was the lone star of the gods, the mother of Kefk, but five years later, I returned to Beijing. Seeing through it was a liar. Father still remembers who was the employer behind the Taoist priest? It was his father’s concubine, and later aunt, Aunt Xia.”

She sighed for a long time, but the people around her were frightened. Even a little girl would not let it go. Xia Yan’s thoughts were too vicious.

“Does my father want to say that he doesn’t know this? There are too many things that my father doesn’t know. For example, on the day my elder brother returned to Beijing, he was ambushed in the woods to put him to death. General Guan came to rescue the siege at that time, and I was afraid that it would be too bad. Who is the father behind the man? Naturally, the father does not know, because it is also the father’s concubine, Aunt Xia.” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Father. To be an upright and honest high-ranking official, but even the person next to his pillow can’t know people clearly. It’s really a bit distressing to be a daughter.”

The surrounding people laughed and gave pointers, saying, “It turns out that Shangshu Mansion is such a tiger’s lair, Longtan. It’s no wonder that General Jiang is going to martial arts. Otherwise, how to protect himself and his sister, I am afraid that there will be no bones left. NS!”

Xia Yan’s viciousness has reached the point of heinousness, and he wants to let Jiang Xinzhi and Jiang Ruan go together. I also don’t know how big an old grievance Zhao Mei is with her. Such a vicious-hearted woman, if Jiang Quan is unaware of anything, she would really underestimate this official third grade official. Everyone didn’t believe it, it was nothing more than opening one eye and closing one eye. If Jiang Quan’s death to Zhao Mei went smoothly, he would have a reputation as a wolf-hearted dog. But even his own daughters and daughters do nothing but do nothing, which is really puzzling. It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, is Jiang Quan’s heart beaten by iron?

“You…what are you talking about nonsense?” Jiang Quan was so angry that he was afraid that Jiang Ruan would reveal more secrets: “You can talk nonsense without evidence. Who taught you to say this, want to insult me like this Shang Shufu? What is his purpose?”

Jiang Quan was an old fox at all, and he quickly thought to arouse everyone’s doubts. As a son and daughter of Shang Shufu, Jiang Ruan will naturally not wrong his father for no reason, but what if someone is pointing behind him? Jiang Ruan is now married to King Jinying, and the person behind it is naturally Xiao Shao.

There was a flash of anger in Tian Zhu and Jin San’s eyes. Jiang Quan wanted to bite at this time, which is really forgivable. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Father, these are not important. When Aunt Xia asked my mother to give medicine to my mother, I naturally have the evidence. My mother told me since I was young, don’t bite others indiscriminately.”

There was a burst of laughter in the surroundings. Jiang Quan thought Jiang Ruan was just frightening. After so many years, Jiang Ruan was just a child and didn’t know anything. Now Xia Yan is dead. Where is the evidence? . Jiang Quan didn’t worry in his heart, but after Jiang Ruan’s trouble, he consciously lost his face today. He immediately furiously said: “You really want to do this? Naughty girl, how dare you sue your biological father, where do you put the word filial piety? Where do you put my father?”

In this world, no matter what, when a hat of filial piety is pressed down, people will always be pressed down several layers of skin. No matter how bad-hearted Jiang Quan did, he was Jiang Ruan’s father by blood. There is no saying in this world that a daughter sue his father. If your parents want you to die, you have to bear it. Because this is Gangchang ethics, a rule that everyone in the world must follow. Seeing Jiang Ruan not speaking, a glimmer of pride flashed in Jiang Quan’s eyes. He only felt that his waist was straighter, and he felt more confident. Said: “Don’t forget, what you have left is my blood! Without me, where did you come from!”

The surrounding crowd was silent. Indeed, even if what Jiang Ruan said was true, when he scolded Jiang Quan for being ruthless and unjust, Jiang Ruan’s view was very complicated. It was a shocking thing to sue his biological father, and even gave birth to a strange view of Jinying Prince’s Mansion. Jiang Ruan is not an exaggeration to do such a thing for his children. It was this lawsuit that finally won, and Jiang Ruan who was left had to face the strange eyes of everyone.

Jiang Ruansi was not affected by the eyes of the public. She was slim in the cold wind. It was a brave posture that could not be blown by any strong wind, as if to show everyone that she would never compromise. But the words spoken coldly and hard, slowly tapped into everyone’s ears: “Indeed, father you gave me life, without you there would be no me. You gave me half of my blood and bones, but God knows,” she sneered: ” How disgusting I am.”

Before she finished her words, she saw that there was a delicate dagger in her hand. Everyone was shocked and didn’t know what she was going to do. They saw the dagger lightly stroked on the back of her hand, and big drops of blood flowed out. Blooming bright blood flowers on the snow.

And her smile was charming and cruel, her words were indifferent and decisive, and she opened her lips to Jiang Quan’s dumbfounded gaze: “Now, I will return it to you.”
