Without Mr. Jiang, the concubines in the backyard have become much more harmonious. They teach their daughter together, talk and chat together, and let go of their previous prejudices. They can also help Jiang Ruohua when he is not around. The harmony is so harmonious. Comfortable.

Li Ge and Ying Ge decided to stay after thinking for a long time. The two of them were from poor backgrounds and had nowhere to go. What's more, Ying Ge was already pregnant. This child was a bloodline of the Jiang family. They considered that the Duke of Guo must also They are reluctant to part with their grandchildren, and they also hope to have a relatively stable life.

Yingge raised her baby with Aunt Yuan in the backyard, while Lige chose to stay in the mansion and continue to serve Jiang Ruohua.

The first snow fell in December, and Aunt Yuan gave birth to a boy in the snow. The arrival of this child brought joy to the Duke's Mansion. Everyone was very happy to hear that Aunt Yuan and her child were safe. They all went to congratulate her with smiles on their faces. The boy had a loud voice and was obviously a healthy child.

"Miss, do we really need to store so much food?"

Hua Chan stared at the records handed over by the grain store. Eyes, there are indeed many more than in previous years.

"It's not that we have to worry about it." Jiang Ruohua said, "You can rest assured if you have more food. I always feel that the weather will get cold early this year, and I'm afraid that the poor people will have a hard time. We should prepare more and do some good things for the outside world. "

"Young lady, you have thought it through. After the incident with the third house, the reputation of our Duke's Mansion has declined. If we distribute porridge at this time, it will be a good deed to accumulate merit and virtue, and the outside world will definitely change their view of us."

Jiang Ruohua smiled and looked at After finishing the accounts in his hand, he moved his hands and feet slightly, and then said, "How is Gan Yunsheng doing with the things I asked him to do?"

"He received the news yesterday, but the young lady was busy all the time, so he left in a hurry when he came." Yin Qiu said, carrying a thick book in her hand, "In the past, seven or eight out of ten of Yang's dowry were taken by him. If the young lady is not in a hurry, he said it would be better to change the matter and slowly squeeze out the remaining few. Then it won't take so much effort. "

Yang gave birth to a shameless good My daughter, she has fallen from being a respected lady of the Duke's Mansion to being a scum despised by the ladies. If her children behave in a way that is not simple, it is because of her improper upbringing. If she has brought up a good child like this, what will happen if she is in the same situation? No family would keep the Yang family.

Yang was divorced by the Duke's Mansion while her husband was on the way to exile, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it. The Jiang family now had an eldest daughter who was studying with the legitimate princess, and it was enough for her to take care of the younger brothers and sisters. As for someone like Yang, no family would allow such a wicked woman to stay in the house if there was such a scandal, lest she teach other children bad things.

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Jiang Ruohua felt that it was okay. Yes, "Yang's shop has a very poor income. I have spent a lot of money this month to make her spend more than she earns."

Jiang Sanye is dead, but he is still in the same boat with her . Why should she let Yang go? There is also Jiang Ruoting who follows behind them and keeps greedily trying to take over everything from her. She will not let these three people off easily!

Sending Jiang Ruoting to the palace and divorcing Yang was just the beginning. She died in exile after being humiliated. Then, this is what she asked Gan Yunsheng to do this month.

Yang was divorced, and the Yang family also lost face. The married daughter was divorced, which would affect everyone in the Yang family. It also affects the marriages of young people.

Yang Shi could not go back to the Yang family and could only live on her meager dowry. She knew that the Duke's Mansion was under her control and she could no longer see her son. She also knew that her husband died on the way to exile. She was in poverty for a while. Afterwards, Yang thought of her daughter who was still in the palace, and she began to think about revenge and making a comeback.

She thought that as long as her daughter could fight for a while in the palace, they still had a chance.

After figuring it out, Yang began to save money and inquire about the news in the palace. After finally getting in touch with Jiang Ruoting, she learned that her daughter's situation was another bolt from the blue. But unfortunately, their mother and daughter had no way out. Jiang Ruoting sent a message hoping that Yang would give her. She sent some money to help, but Yang felt sorry for her daughter and hoped to use money to help her get favored, so she kept sending the little money to the palace.

But little did they know that the whereabouts of the mother and daughter had always been under the Queen's nose. Jiang Ruohua, who often accompanied the Queen with Princess Shang Yang, knew all about it.

She ordered Gan Yunsheng to disrupt the business of Yang's wedding dress shop. She was not afraid of spending money, but she must shut down all the businesses that were still profitable!

Yang was not a good businessman, and Gan Yunsheng used A lot of money, but in less than a month, Yang was forced into a desperate situation!

As the year was coming to an end, there were several heavy snowfalls in the capital. Jiang Ruohua did not wait for the plague that should have broken out a dozen days ago. , but what came was the trembling report from the servants who were sweeping the snow after the heavy snow blocked the road.

Wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak and holding a hand warmer in his hands, Jiang Ruohua led the servants to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

I was woken up at dawn. Jiang Ruohua exhaled white air from her mouth: "Go report to the authorities first."

The snow sweeper was only halfway through sweeping when he found a frozen female corpse from the pile of snow in front of the door. The two half-grown male servants were frightened and screamed in the quiet morning, which also attracted the attention of people nearby.

The government officials came quickly and brought a coroner to examine the body. The leader bowed to Jiang Ruohua. "Miss Jiang is fine. You sent someone to report to the authorities early this morning. I wonder if anything happened in your mansion? Is the Duke fine?"

"Grandfather is still resting, Master Lao is worried." Jiang Ruohua nodded and looked to the side. "It's like this. This morning, the servant in charge of sweeping the snow in front of the house found a The servants

did not dare to move the body and waited for the government officials to take over. Soon, the soldiers cleaned the snow off the body. The coroner hurried forward and carefully examined it before reporting: "Sir, , a woman in her thirties, who must have been frozen unconscious during the heavy snowfall last night, and buried under the snow, frozen to death."

The person was completely stiff, but still maintained a similar movement as knocking on the door. The leading officer frowned slightly. , and then asked: "Didn't you hear anything in your house last night?"

"It's been very cold these days, so I withdrew the guards on night duty and only let them guard the courtyards of the masters in the mansion." Jiang Ruohua said regretfully, "I'm afraid there was no one at the gate last night, otherwise we would have heard someone knocking on the door. The sound of the door, not to the extent of... Alas."
