"no!"

Jiang Yuzhu refused directly and without hesitation.

Princess Yu Tan was stunned for a moment before she laughed: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yuzhu replied, "I never use relatives as gambling funds. Even if my second brother agrees, I still can't get past this hurdle."

Although Jiang Yuzhu was confident that she would not lose, she did not want to drag Jiang Huaiqing into it.

"good."

Princess Yutan immediately changed her tone, "If I win, how about you stay with me for half a month?"

The Jiang family is poisonous, and Princess Yutan wants to see how deeply poisoned she is.

Jiang Yuzhu yawned and said lazily, "Let me make it clear first, I won't sell my body."

Princess Yutan: "..."

She had indeed overestimated Jiang Yuzhu again!

The two quickly agreed on the terms, and Jiang Yuzhu fell in love with Jifeng, a fierce northern horse raised by Princess Yutan.

Ji Feng has pure bloodline and understands some human nature.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhu coming, it raised its head proudly, ignored the crispy candy in Jiang Yuzhu's hand, and even snorted in disdain.

You think you can buy it off with just this little favor?

Jiang Yuzhu raised her hand to touch the horse's back, but Jifeng immediately raised his front hooves to warn her.

"Good, you have backbone!"

The more this happened, the more Jiang Yuzhu wanted to conquer him.

A quarter of an hour later, Princess Yutan had already dug a basket of wild vegetables.

Jiang Yuzhu picked and chose, finding the tenderest parts and integrating them together.

As she stood up, Princess Yutan blew a whistle. The two horses that were still grazing heard the noise and quickly hid in the woods.

Jiang Yuzhu looked around vigilantly and saw a maid acting suspiciously, who seemed to be waiting for someone.

Princess Yu Tan pointed at the maid and said, "Wei Jing's confidant Shu Xiang."

Jiang Yuzhu and Princess Yutan looked at each other and tacitly found a secluded place to hide.

About half an incense stick of time later, Zhao Zhe's servant Chongyang appeared.

Chongyang saw Shuxiang and looked behind her and asked, "Where is your young lady?"

His young master sent someone to the Wei Mansion to deliver a message, and agreed to meet Wei Jing in advance. Now that Miss Wei has not arrived, he sent a maid to get rid of him?

Shuxiang looked impatient and urged, "This is the royal hunting ground. There are many people and eyes. What if we get caught?"

The young lady in her family has a good reputation and her innocence must not be ruined.

Chongyang was taken aback and sneered, "That sounds nice, but wasn't my young master instigated by Miss Wei?"

After being beaten, Zhao Zhe lay in bed, muttering about Wei Jing.

Wei Jing didn't feel guilty at all. Maybe she had her reasons for not coming to visit. Wasn't she too cruel that she didn't even send a maid to visit?

"My young master's actions are indeed a bit extreme, but they are done to please Miss Wei..."

Now Zhao Zhe is hated by the Jiang family and is in a difficult situation.

Chongyang had no other thoughts. Considering that his young master was so infatuated with Wei Jing, Wei Jing had to show some appreciation, right?

Shuxiang looked puzzled. "Chongyang, your son's methods are so despicable, why do you blame my young lady for them?"

"My young lady only said that she was unwilling and that she disliked Jiang Yuzhu. She didn't say anything else, right?"

The disgusting things Zhao Zhe did were not instructed by Wei Jing, they were all Zhao Zhe's idea.

"Your son has bad intentions and is not a good match."

After saying this, Shuxiang turned around and walked back, because her young lady needed someone to serve her.

Chongyang stood there in a daze, unable to believe it, and then his face was full of bitterness. His young master was so stupid, what kind of thing did he like?

Wei Jing appears to be kind and considerate, but her true face is so unbearable.

What’s even more infuriating is that most people in the capital were kept in the dark and were bewitched by Wei Jing.

Especially since Zhao Zhe was so confused that he was ruthlessly trampled upon afterwards, he was just a stepping stone.

From the beginning to the end, Wei Jing had no intention of marrying Zhao Zhe, she only wanted to use him.

After the area was cleared, Princess Yutan finally emerged from the woods and gave Jiang Yuzhu a sympathetic look. "I haven't been back to the capital for a few years. How could there be so many monsters and demons in the capital?"

Among those deceived by Wei Jing, Princess Yutan was one of them. She recalled that her confrontation with Jiang Yuzhu on the day of Wei Mansion's birthday banquet was also secretly instigated by Wei Jing.

"She pretended to be pitiful and weak, luring the fool into stepping forward. Then she pretended to be magnanimous and tried to mediate, and she took all the benefits. She's a master at this trick!"

Princess Yu Tan dodged countless attacks on the battlefield, but was manipulated by Wei Jing between her metacarpal bones. She was completely fooled. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became: "Yuzhu, no need to gamble. I admit defeat."

"Jifeng will compensate you, wait for my news."

Princess Yutan left in a hurry without further explanation.

Only after she left did Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao dare to show up.

Qiao Ying got straight to the point: "Yuzhu, I sent someone to inquire. After Zhang Wanyi committed suicide, all the maids around her were sold. Zhang Wanyi had a good cousin who married and left the capital not long after she committed suicide."

Yu Jiaojiao added, "It sounded like everything was normal, but Qiao Ying and I discovered a big problem."

Jiang Yuzhu led the two into the tent. She casually played with the lid of the teacup and said after a while, "Go on."

Qiao Ying didn't keep it a secret: "If you don't check, you won't know. Zhang Wanyi's cousin married a man from the Wei family."

The Zhang family has a tradition of farming and studying, and most of the family members are scholars.

It sounds good to say that Zhang Hanlin was the only one in several generations who served as an official.

Such a family background is very humble in the capital city where noble families gather.

Zhang Wanyi couldn't marry into a good family, so how could her cousin, who was of lower status than her, have the chance to marry into the Wei family?

"That young Lord Wei is a county magistrate several hundred miles away, holding the seventh rank."

Lord Wei is young and promising. Although he does not hold a high official position now, he has the Wei family as his backing. He only needs to leave Beijing for a few years to gain experience and have many opportunities for promotion in the future.

"Wei Bai is Wei Jing's cousin, and the relationship between brother and sister has always been very good."
