Chapter 391: Marrying a Good Man, Not Just Looking at High Officials

However, when Yingying met Jiusu's indifferent eyes, her heart trembled suddenly. Did she not care about a humble woman like her, or did she not care about her words?

No matter which one, she couldn't help but lower her head.

Jiusu said, "Who says men must have three wives and four concubines? Is it a crime to marry just one? As a woman, aren't you being too malicious towards 'us', who are also women?"

Yingying's face turned red.

"You are the one who harbors the greatest ill will towards me. Otherwise, why wouldn't you allow me to serve you, young master?"

Jiusu took a step forward, her dress still stained with mud. She chuckled, "I wanted to tell you that women don't have to get married, and you shouldn't try to steal someone else's husband. It seems I haven't made myself clear."

Yingying said, "I just can't figure it out."

Jiusu understood: "You think too badly of me, think Ajing is too fickle, and think too well of yourself. Why do you think you can be Ajing's concubine? Are you capable, or are you beautiful? Or does Ajing like you?"

The only thing he can boast of is his good looks.

"I'm good-looking." Yingying said.

Jiusu said, "Shengjing has no shortage of beautiful and capable girls, but Ajing doesn't like them. Do you know why?"

Yingying shook her head.

Jiusu said: "Because Ajing only loves me, other girls have better suitors."

Yingying shed tears: "It was my father who gave me to you, my master."

Jiusu raised her chin slightly, she was really sleepy.

"Then your father is really a piece of shit. He treats you like an object. Do you treat yourself like an object too? If you don't love yourself, don't expect others to love you."

She took Jiang Jing's hand and left.

After a tiring day, you always need to rest.

As for the murderer in white, a message has been sent to Shengjing by carrier pigeon, and I believe there will be news soon.

Qiu Man warned: "If the Marquis knew that someone bullied his daughter and seduced his son-in-law, be careful of your family's lives. My sister Jiusu is already kind. If she met someone else, she would have dealt with you severely."

Hearing this, Yingying turned back and asked dissatisfiedly, "How can Miss Qiu guarantee that she won't share a husband with anyone else in the future?"

Qiu Man wanted to beat someone up.

"Don't be angry." Song Wang held her wrist and looked up. "After a while, I will go to the Qiu Mansion to ask for your hand in marriage, and I promise that I will not take concubines and I don't need maids to sleep with me."

There was silence in the hall.

These words were a huge shock to the two sisters.

Yingying trembled and climbed up from the ground. "Who, who are these people? Why are they saying such strange things? This is completely different from what mother taught me."

"Yes," Yanyan said, "Aren't we supposed to support our husbands and raise their children, and be generous and tolerant in helping them take concubines and have children?"

Yingying lowered her head. Perhaps having heard so many words about 'yearning' and 'bravery', she lowered her head and blurted out, "Who doesn't want to have a husband all to themselves? Who is willing to share with other women?"

Yanyan seemed to be thinking.

“Can’t we?” she asked.

Yingying's eyes lit up: "Why not?"

The two sisters looked at each other, strange emotions surging in their hearts. At this time, the weak sunlight shone on them. They took off the thin gauze clothes that men liked and put on their favorite clothes.

"Of course!"

"Marrying a good man is not just about high official positions."

After resting enough in the inn, Jiusu and the other three gathered together for a meal. They watched the sunset shining on the street and people began to go out to buy things.

Mingheng returned with news from Huzhou.

"The material wasn't sold in Huzhou, but was supplied directly to the imperial palace. An experienced shop owner said that the people who used this fabric must be royal relatives."

Hearing this.

Jiusu instantly thought of someone.

"Do you think it could be the eldest prince?" she asked. "What a coincidence! When Yu Mingzhu's father came to Shengjing, he happened to see the eldest prince returning to the capital."

Suddenly, it seemed as if I remembered something.

"Do you have a map of Xu State?"

Ming Heng went to the government office to borrow a copy. At this time, Jiang Jing also realized the problem. He said, "Going back to Shengjing from Huzhou, you can't go through Nancheng at all. Going through Nancheng is equivalent to going halfway."

All evidence points to the eldest prince.

However, Song Wang asked: "But what is the reason for this extermination?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent again. Perhaps they needed to ask the eldest prince to find out, but as the emperor's child, he was not under their jurisdiction.

Jiusu murmured, "Bai Yanyue, Bai Yueyue, maybe this is a person?"

Jiang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and he held Jiusu's hand: "It seems that we need to go back to Shengjing and find the eldest prince to clarify the matter. If the eldest prince's wife and Bai Yueyue are the same person, then the matter will be clear."

Jiusu blinked and asked curiously, "Are Bai Yanyue and Bai Luoxue not related?"

"No." Jiang Jing said, "The old general only has one daughter. I haven't heard of other relatives. The eldest prince's wife was chosen by the eldest prince. She seems to be a maidservant by his side."

Because of this, the emperor got very angry.

Because the eldest prince's biological mother was once a maid.

The emperor said that it was true that like mother like son, and it was all related to his humble status. However, the eldest prince was not favored and got angry, so that was it. After getting married that day, he went to Huzhou to recuperate.

They immediately set off back to Shengjing.

At night, the hot air balloon took off again and floated in the gloomy sky. When it landed in the yard, Song Wang still felt an indescribable shock.

He tilted his head and looked at her again.

This woman grew up in Chenjia Village and has unique skills.

"Miss Jiu is truly a rare talent."

Qiu Man nodded: "Yes, yes."

Jiang Jing came to the rescue and said, "Let's go back to the mansion and rest for a while. We will split into two groups. Ah Su and I will go to test the eldest prince's wife, and Lord Song and Miss Qiu will go to investigate the murderer. We will meet up at the Qiu Mansion."

Yang Xu has already started investigating the murderer.

Song Wang sent people to surround the Zhuo family. Zhuo Wenbao was caught in the brothel. "Take him back to the Ministry of Justice for investigation!"

——

Although the mansion is small, it cannot resist the love of life of the two people. The prince actually rolled up his sleeves and accompanied his sweetheart to plant flowers in the garden when Jiusu and Jiang Jing came.

Then you will see the scene of husband and wife laughing and rejoicing.

The guard reported: "Your Highness, Lord Jiang and Lord Jiu are here."

The two people's smiles froze. Xu Xiaoli naturally held his wife's hand, turned around, and looked at the two people who bowed to salute, especially Jiang Jing. He avoided his gaze briefly.

"Please come in, both of you."

While waiting for the tea to be served, the host becomes uneasy and the guests become preoccupied.

Xu Xiaoli felt as if a thousand ants were burrowing in his heart. He pinched the cake, and the sweetness filled his mouth, clearing his mind. He took the initiative to ask, "I heard that Lord Jiang went to Yongjiang. Is the case investigated?"

Jiang Jing put down the porcelain cup and said, "It's almost over."

Xu Xiaoli asked: "Who is the murderer?"

Jiang Jing and Jiusu immediately looked at the uneasy woman sitting beside them. It went without saying that the answer was obvious. Jiang Jing said in a deep voice, "I think you two know better."
