In the ten-mile long street, with joy and happiness, Jiang Zhaoying married into the Song Marquis Mansion.
But who knew that her husband, Song Chengyu, had died on the wedding bed?
She ...
Chapter 139
surprise
"Do you want to keep small animals?"
Luo Zhinian's eyes lit up. She had wanted to raise a pet before, but her mother didn't allow her to do so. She was sad for a long time afterwards.
"I like puppies and rabbits. I also want to have a deer and two horses. There are many more."
"Okay, as long as you like it, it's fine."
Wang Qingyu's eyes became more and more gentle. Nowadays, there are too few girls as pure and innocent as her. She is as clean as a flower washed by heavy rain, so fresh that it makes people intoxicated, and so delicate that people are reluctant to leave.
"I still like being with my sisters. I don't want to be separated from them."
"Okay, if you miss them, you can always send a note to visit them or stay at their place for a while. I don't mind."
After receiving Wang Qingyu's assurances again and again, Luo Zhinian was very happy and no longer worried.
Luo Zhiheng saw that they could finally be together, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and said to Jiang Zhaoying.
"I'm afraid it will take some time to sort out the Luo Mansion. I will also find a way to clear out the second and third branches. I will also promote the useful people in the Luo family and train them one by one."
Since we have to deal with Minister Luo, we cannot do it without our own strength.
"Then I will go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow."
Jiang Zhaoying said this in a tacit voice, and Luo Zhiheng got the assurance and then bowed to everyone with gratitude in his eyes.
After Wang Qingyu left.
The waiter served the dishes and snacks. Luo Zhiheng asked everyone to eat and drink well and chatted about some other things.
period.
Luo Zhiheng discovered.
I was too narrow-minded in the past. Although these young ladies have some flaws, they are all very smart and insightful, and some are even very capable.
If they were not suppressed for some reason, they might have become the masters of the world.
Cui Wanwan looked harmless, but her words were very insightful and her character was also strong. Although Miss Li was in a wheelchair, she was not someone that two or three men could get close to, and she was particularly optimistic. Although Miss Zuo had lost a finger on her left hand, her right hand was more capable than others...
Everyone was chatting happily for a while, drinking one cup after another, and before they knew it, it was late at night.
When Jiang Zhaoying returned to the Jiang Mansion, she was slightly drunk.
The house was brightly lit, and as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Mrs. Jiang coming out to greet me.
Perhaps she had not yet accepted the fact that Prince Yueming already had a queen, so Madam Jiang still looked unsatisfactory. But when she saw Jiang Zhaoying, wearing jewels and with rosy eyes and a hint of charm, she felt a little toothache.
She really couldn't understand how a divorced woman could have the nerve to walk back and forth outside as if nothing had happened.
If it were her.
He has lived out his life in his own yard and never left the house.
"Zhaoying, you're back."
Madam Jiang came forward with a smile, and then gave instructions to the maid.
"Go and bring the soup."
"No need, auntie, we just came back after eating outside."
Jiang Zhaoying shook her head slightly, but Mrs. Jiang took her hand and walked into the main hall, and continued.
"There's a guest coming. He's been waiting for you since you didn't come back. I have no choice but to stay here with you."
Frowning slightly.
As soon as she stepped into the main hall, she saw Song Chengyu sitting on a chair with a pale face. When he saw her come in, he stood up hurriedly, with complex expressions surging in his eyes.
He stared at Jiang Zhaoying blankly, feeling a little dazed for a moment. It had only been a few days since they last met, but it felt like they hadn't seen each other for several years.
and.
The Jiang Zhaoying in front of him was completely different from the Jiang Zhaoying in his dreams. This one was too strange and too cold.
He couldn't figure it out.
In the past, Jiang Zhaoying could selflessly give everything for the Song family, even her own life, but why has she become more and more ruthless now?
"You two can chat. I'm too old to hold on any longer. I want to go to sleep."
Mrs. Jiang's eyes lingered on the two of them for a moment, she smiled sinisterly, and turned away.
Jiang Zhaoying ignored her and walked forward and sat down with a stern face. Shu Yun and Shu Yu stood beside her, and her other servants stood at the door and other places.
Even if Song Chengyu wanted to do something, he didn't have the ability to do it.
"Zhaoying, what should we do now that Qinghuan has experienced something like that?"
How could she be so eager to enter the Yu Mansion as a concubine? Not only did she do such a shameful thing, but she also spread it everywhere. She has no shame at all.
"What's the difference between this and Miss Shen's insistence on entering the Song Mansion?"
Shen Yuefu and the others could accept it, but why did Song Qinghuan get so panicked?
"Zhaoying, go and persuade Qinghuan to come back. She lives in the nunnery now."
Mrs. Song hated her for being shameless and useless, so she sent people to capture her and put her in a nunnery. She thought that since she was used to a good life, she would beg for mercy, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, and did whatever she was told to do. Winter had come, and the weather was getting colder. Her hands soon had problems standing in the cold water.
"What does this have to do with me, Song Chengyu? We've already divorced."
If the emperor had not suddenly suffered a headache and wanted to drink his blood, the Song family would have been destroyed long ago.
but.
Jiang Zhaoying was not very anxious about this. She felt that it was a good thing for the Song family to die so easily. It was not bad to suffer slowly.
"You weren't like this before."
Song Chengyu became excited and ran to Jiang Zhaoying, looking at her beautiful face.
"You were willing to do anything for me before. You loved me sincerely. You built up the entire Song Mansion. You could do it well before, and you can do it well now as well."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Zhaoying frowned, but her heart was pounding.
The meaning of his words is obvious. Could it be that he also has memories of his past life?
Or is he also reborn?
Song Chengyu avoided her gaze and hurriedly explained in panic.
"You were not this kind of person at first. Why have you become less and less recognizable to me? Zhaoying, you can help the Song family return to its original glory."
"But I don't want to, Song Chengyu. Why do you think I can still stay with you after you have tried to murder me like this?"
How big is this face?
The embarrassment on Song Chengyu's face was like layers of huge waves. They had indeed plotted against Jiang Zhaoying time and time again, and even killed her life.
Can.
So many concubines died in wealthy families. What is there to complain about?
"I don't have much time to be out, Zhaoying, don't wait until I am rewarded by the emperor to regret it. If you help me now, we will be a couple in need."
Bang.
The cup fell heavily from her hand to the ground, shattering into pieces and splashing hot water everywhere.
"You shameless fellow, get out! Remember, if anyone dares to let this person in again, don't blame me for being rude."
The servants rushed in quickly and dragged Song Chengyu away. Before Song Chengyu could say anything, Ah Qi pulled a piece of cloth into his mouth, dragged him and threw him out.
Jiang Zhaoying got up and went straight to Mrs. Jiang's yard.
The nanny was helping Madam Jiang take off her clothes and prepare to rest. Thinking about how Jiang Zhaoying was being bullied, her mood improved a lot, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
Just sat on the bed.
The door was kicked open with a bang.
Mrs. Jiang was startled, but saw Jiang Zhaoying walking in with murderous intent in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Mrs. Jiang yawned nonchalantly.
"I'm going to bed. Can we talk tomorrow if you have anything to say?"
"Father asked us to call you aunt. I guess you know why, right?"
As she spoke, Jiang Zhaoying turned around and sat in the chair, looking coldly at Madam Jiang. No, it was Rong Lingzhu. Rong Lingzhu stood up and his face turned pale instantly.
Feeling cold all over, she tested Jiang Zhaoying with some disbelief.
"I am indeed your aunt. I have no objection whether you call me mother or aunt."
"If you hadn't caused trouble, I might have let you live in the Jiang Mansion, but you really disappoint me."
Not only does she like to stir up trouble, she also likes to stab people in the back.
"What do you mean?"
Rong Lingzhu's voice suddenly became much gloomier. The nanny hurriedly took the cloak and put it on her. When her hair was disheveled, Rong Lingzhu looked at Jiang Zhaoying's confident look and finally asked in a trembling voice.
"You know everything?"
"Move out. You are too ashamed to live in the Jiang Mansion."
Hearing that Jiang Zhaoying was going to drive her away, Rong Lingzhu rushed to her, pointed at her and screamed.
"What qualifications do you have to ask me to leave?"
She is the mistress of the Jiang Mansion, Mrs. Jiang, who enjoys all the wealth and glory.
"Fuqin is now the concubine of Prince Yue. No matter what, I am still the mother-in-law of His Highness. Even if your father and I are divorced, it doesn't matter. Now that we have this relationship, your father will probably beg me to stay and marry me back."
Fuqin cannot always be a concubine. One day, she will sit on the main throne and become a real princess.
Until then.
She will also rise with the tide.
"Then you should move to Prince Yue's Mansion and become your mother-in-law. The Jiang Mansion can't accommodate you."
Jiang Zhaoying stood up slowly, with a murderous look in her body, forcing Rong Lingzhu to take several steps back. She looked at Rong Lingzhu, speaking every word.
"I'm asking you to leave the Jiang Mansion standing up now. If you don't want to leave, I don't mind letting you walk out sideways."
This is threatening her!
It was also hinting to her that if she didn't leave, Jiang Zhaoying would kill her.
"She's just a little concubine. I'm not afraid of her."
"Are you not afraid?"
Rong Lingzhu laughed, and the contempt in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
"You are divorced, you don't have the face to return to the Jiang Mansion. If I were you, I would find a nunnery to live in and practice well to cleanse my sins. You are shameless and come back to the Jiang Mansion so brazenly."
"My father and brother want me to go back, but you are different. You just refuse to leave."
Although both of them were divorced by peace, there were huge differences between them.
Rong Lingzhu's face turned red and white, and he opened his mouth several times to refute, but he couldn't say a word.
"roll."
Jiang Zhaoying didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Then.
The servants rushed into Fuyunju, staring at Rong Lingzhu like ferocious monsters.
As the crowd surged, an old figure rushed in, raised his hand and slapped Rong Lingzhu.
"Fool, you are worse than pigs and dogs. You don't want to enjoy such a good life in Jiang Mansion, but you insist on doing those things. Are you stupid? Why did I change you? You have ruined my careful planning for so many years. You made my life miserable. Now that you are kicked out, where can I eat and drink? For you, I have lived a hard life all my life. You have to pay me back for what you owe me."
Speaking of.
The old woman slapped Rong Lingzhu's face twice again, covering her face which had suddenly become red and swollen. Rong Lingzhu was so angry that his eyes went dark.
For this mother.
She had no emotions at all, and was even full of hatred in her heart. If this old guy hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have become like this. She wanted to kill this old guy several times, but this old guy was so cunning that he saw through her every time. Now he was even at odds with her every day.
"You only have half an hour to pack your things."
"I want to see the master."
Rong Lingzhu wanted to make a final struggle, but a servant came in and said coldly.
"The master left a message, everything is up to the young lady."
Rong Lingzhu sat down on the ground, and with fear in her eyes, she got up again.
"Okay, I'll go and look for Fuqin. When the time comes, Prince Yueming will make the decision for me, and the master will welcome me into the mansion as usual. Jiang Zhaoying, by then, I will definitely enter as Madam Jiang. Not only will you have to serve me, but you will also have to call me mother."
"I'll wait for you."
Jiang Zhaoying looked coldly at the nanny in charge, then turned and left Fuyunju.
After waiting for two hours, Jiang Zhaoying had already fallen asleep, and then a servant came to report that Rong Lingzhu had left the Jiang Mansion and was heading to the inn near Yueming Palace.
Jiang Zhaoying responded, patted Abao in the basket, and fell asleep again.
The next morning.
During breakfast, she told Jiang Jianzheng about this matter. Jiang Jianzheng did not have any special reaction, but just asked Jiang Zhiyu.
"Fuxiao is more reasonable than her mother and sister, what do you think?"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded.
"I have no grudge against her. I asked someone to invite her to dinner earlier, but she said it would be fine if we ate in her room. I will ask her later whether she wants to study or get engaged. It's up to her."
If she is willing to get married, she should choose a good family and a illegitimate son with a good character and temperament. There will be no fighting between them. With money and free time, she can live a good life.
"Father, brother, and second sister."
Jiang Fuxiao's timid voice was heard at the door. Everyone turned around and saw her standing at the door with a pale face and timidity.
"Come and dine with us."
Jiang Jian was speaking to her in a gentle voice when Jiang Fuxiao came in and bowed.
"My daughter has used it. I heard what my brother said just now. I am willing to get engaged and married."
Jiang Zhaoying raised her eyes to look at her.
"There's no need to be so anxious. We're only dealing with the matter, not the person. You should know that your mother did a lot of things to us behind our backs and even wanted to kill us. We are doing the most we can."
"I know, second sister. Mother is eager for quick success and is jealous of the mistress. She has done a lot of foolish things in secret. Third sister has the same personality as her. I...I have advised them, I really have."
Jiang Fuxiao's eyes turned red as she spoke. She had really tried to persuade and talk to them, but all she got in return was their ridicule and cold rebuke. Later, she didn't want to say anything more.
"It's just... it's just that mother gave all my dowry to my third sister. If I get married..."
"It's all right."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at her with a smile.
"I will prepare it for you again and will never embarrass you. Just take your time to look around and wait until you find a suitable family. Fuxiao, if you can think it through, it's not impossible for us to find a warm and kind family and live a free life."
"I understand. I do."
Jiang Fuxiao's eyes turned red as he listened. He bowed to everyone with gratitude, and after expressing his attitude, he was helped out of the dining hall by his maid.
Walking slowly in the yard, she stopped and turned to look at her father, eldest brother, and second sister who were having dinner...
