Chapter 281 There is not a single good person in the family

This year, Shengjing has a lot of snow. The cold wind blows and the snow rolls up, hitting the eaves, making the cold even more pressing.

Jiang Zhiyu is in the room, wrapped in a quilt, covering herself tightly.

[This winter is suitable for staying in the quilt and doing nothing.]

Jiang Sulan opened the door and saw Jiang Zhiyu slowly sticking his head out, staring at her with big watery eyes.

Jiang Sulan was so cute that she smiled and said, "Why can't you get up now? Is there nothing going on in the Hanlin Academy?"

Jiang Zhiyu shook his head: "I'm taking a day off today."

Jiang Sulan nodded and sat down beside her bed.

"Mother and grandmother have found a young man for me. He is the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue. His name is Han Xizheng. Mother asked me to ask for your opinion."

Jiang Zhiyu's room was full of heaters. Jiang Sulan felt sweat on her body after she said only one sentence. She took off her cloak and put it aside.

"He also came to your birthday party."

Han Xizheng? Jiang Zhiyu thought about it and his eyes suddenly became strange.

[This is not suitable to find. ]

Jiang Sulan: "???"

Her fingertips paused slightly.

She had heard of Han Xizheng's reputation. He was diligent, had never been to any brothels, and had no maids to warm her bed. Now he was only eighteen years old, not to mention a wife, he didn't even have a concubine.

Why is it not suitable to find one?

She thought about how to ask, and Jiang Zhiyu also thought about how to explain to her.

[This kid is used to pretending to be a good person. His reputation outside is very good.]

[I have to find an excuse to explain to my sister, but I can't let her get suspicious...]

[Got it!]

Jiang Zhiyu climbed up from the bed and approached Jiang Sulan: "Sister, you know I'm treating Han Qiao's face again."

Jiang Sulan: "I know."

"That's right, I tell you, Han Xizheng is not a good person, sister, don't be fooled by him."

"Although he is kind and generous outside, he treats servants very harshly at home. There are at least dozens of servants who have been tortured to death by him, if not hundreds."

Jiang Sulan frowned slightly.

"Also, although he has not married or taken a concubine, it is not because he is not lustful, but because he likes to have sex for free and does not give women a legitimate status."

Jiang Sulan: "!!!"

"Is this true?"

"But why has no one ever sued him?"

Although there are many people who endure humiliation, there must be no one who resists. Or, have they all been suppressed by him?

But it doesn't make sense. Can he really do it without revealing anything and without any news leaking out?

Jiang Zhiyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Because this man likes to make women unconscious before doing anything. The drugs he used were very strong, and those women did not regain consciousness until the next day. They could not even see the criminal's face clearly, and they did not know the criminal's identity, let alone sue."

"It's a pity that most of those women ended up committing suicide with a white silk ribbon, and a few became nuns."

Jiang Sulan was furious when she heard this and clenched her fists.

Jiang Zhiyu continued: "Moreover, this man is a born bad seed. He liked to torture people for fun when he was young, but now he has grown up and knows how to pretend."

"Moreover, this man's good friend is Gao Zilun, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites."

[There is no good person in that family. 】

"In short, this man is definitely not a good match."

Han Xizheng had done many bad things, but Jiang Zhiyu was afraid that Jiang Sulan would be suspicious, so she could only say this.

Jiang Sulan nodded heavily.

But when it comes to Gao Zilun, Jiang Sulan can't hide her smile on her face: "Speaking of which, he was kidnapped outside the city. The thief not only slapped his face and swollen it, but also stripped his clothes, so that he could only run back to the mansion naked. Until now, the thief has not been caught."

Coincidentally, that day she and a few noble ladies were on the street, and Gao Zilun ran towards them. It was really... a glance. With

Gao Yan in front and Gao Zilun behind, the Minister of Rites lost face and got very angry at the mansion and banned them from leaving.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then Jiang Sulan put on her cloak and went to look for Xu Youran. As soon as she went out, she shivered in the cold wind outside.

"Zhiyu, please turn off some of these stoves. It's so hot in the house. I won't be able to bear it for a while when I go out, and

I will get sick." "Don't worry, sister, I know what I'm doing."

...

In Cining Palace, Song Shiwei rested for a few days and then continued to make perfume for the empress dowager.

It was not Qiu Yi who called her, but another person named Shuang Ning.

As her name suggests, she speaks crisply and decisively.

Song Shiwei followed her and said, "Why didn't I see Aunt Qiu Yi today?"

Shuang Ning glanced at her and said, "Just do your job well, and don't ask about other things."

Song Shiwei pursed her lips and replied yes.

The calming incense that Song Shi had fine-tuned had burned out during the few days she rested. The Queen Mother wanted to stop using it, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable without the scent.

Since she hadn't slept for several days, the Queen Mother attributed it to not sleeping well.

Seeing Song Shiwei walk in, the empress dowager rubbed her brows and said, "Good boy, are you feeling better?"

Song Shiwei sneered in her heart, but her face showed a look of flattery and surprise: "Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty. I'm much better now." She paused, and said, "Is the calming incense prepared by your servant useful? Maybe the Queen Mother is sleeping well now?" The Queen

Mother frowned, "It's still the same."

Song Shiwei lowered her head, as if afraid of being punished by her. The Queen Mother was about to speak, but saw her raise her head again: "Your Majesty, I went back home a few days ago and looked through some ancient books. I found a prescription that may be worth a try." The Queen Mother

nodded: "You can do it as you like."

Song Shiwei hesitated: "This prescription..."

"Is it harmful to the human body, or can't you make it?" The Queen Mother looked at her with calm eyes.

"Neither," Song Shiwei shook her head: "This incense has no harm, but it cannot be stopped. If it is stopped for more than a day, all the previous efforts will be wasted."

The empress dowager looked at her with scrutiny, and Song Shiwei did not avoid it, but raised her head to look at her.

After a long while, the Queen Mother said, "Since it does no harm, then use it." As

the adopted daughter of a prime minister, even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to harm herself, not to mention that there were two people who understood perfume watching her. If she dared to do anything... The

Queen Mother thought so, but with a kind smile on her face: "It's been so many days, and I know your ability. If it were someone else, I would have sent him away long ago, but only you, I think it suits my heart very much."

"By the way, I didn't go to your coming-of-age ceremony, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

Song Shiwei tightened her hand holding the hem of her skirt, causing some wrinkles, but quickly let go and said in a calm voice: "This minister knows her identity, how can I have any complaints against the Queen Mother?"
