Chapter 9 Layout
"The Crown Prince's Consort is so lucky to be liked by you..." Xiao Nanxing couldn't help but sigh. If it were someone else, they would be infected with Huangquan and would only be waiting for death.
Xie Lingxi frowned slightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
He saved her for another reason.
Xiao Nanxing: ...
Okay, you obviously like it but you don’t let me say it.
"Young master, the person has been brought here." A secret guard outside the door reported.
Xie Lingxi's lazy and carefree temperament suddenly became cold, and the last bit of light in his eyes was extinguished, leaving only endless coldness and cruelty:
"Carry it in."
Two secret guards came in carrying a wooden box and opened it.
A strong smell of blood wafted into the air, revealing a figure inside that had been tortured beyond recognition.
…
Northern Palace, Jinyu Garden.
Jiang Rong sat in the main seat, and Feicui led a group of maids and servants to pay their respects.
They used to serve Xie Lingxi in Jinyu Garden, and from now on, Jiang Rong is their master.
According to the rules, the servants paid their respects to the Crown Prince's wife.
"Reward——" Jiang Rong said.
She didn't say much. The people in this courtyard were all left by Xie Lingxi, and they could be used with peace of mind.
In her previous life, Feicui became her right-hand man.
Yingxia distributed the silver ingots specially used for rewarding people to them, and after Feicui and the others received their rewards and left...
Yingxia immediately said, "Second Miss, these are people from the Northern Palace, you can't trust them!"
"Of course, I trust our own people the most." Jiang Rong smiled and said:
"Yingxia, bring me my dowry list."
Yingxia's face changed slightly and she handed over the dowry list.
Jiang Rong flipped through the documents and raised an eyebrow, "These forty boxes and cages do match, but why don't I see the deeds to the shops and farms, or the deposited money?"
Most of Jiang Rong's dowry was left by her late mother, including a large sum of money deposited in a bank and several farms and shops.
Her mother had left behind several boxes of jewellery, which she had given to them under the coaxing of her second aunt when she was still young...
It's just that the actual silver note and land deed are not convenient to occupy directly.
Another forty boxes were purchased with public funds from the Jiang family.
If Second Aunt hadn't thought that Jiang Wan was marrying in her place, and hadn't prepared boxes and crates for her daughter's wedding, Jiang Rong wouldn't even have had these dowries.
"Second Miss, your shop and farm have always been managed by the Second Madam. The Second Madam was worried that your dowry would be eaten by your husband's family, so she is keeping it for you." Yingxia spoke eloquently.
Jiang Rong said casually, "Indeed, I feel most at ease leaving it to my second aunt. But as to whether I can take over the business of the Northern Prince's Mansion, I will have a good discussion with my second aunt on the day I return home."
She believed that her second aunt would be happy to give her the dowry.
As the master and servant were talking, Feicui came forward to report:
"Crown Princess, cousin greets you."
…
Chen Caiwei looked at Jiang Rong with an apologetic look:
"Caiwei did not call the Crown Prince's Consort my cousin yesterday because I believed the rumors and thought that my cousin was unwilling to marry into the Xie family, so I only called you Miss Jiang. It was inconvenient to explain in front of my cousin yesterday, so I came here to clarify."
"Caiwei, put yourself in my shoes. If you had a childhood sweetheart and a fiancé who was in love with you, but they separated, you would never be willing to accept the identity given by the robber. So I can't bear to call you the Crown Prince's Consort, for fear that it would make you sad..."
"It was Caiwei who misunderstood. Although my cousin's wife was engaged to someone, you two were not familiar with each other and had no friendship. Seeing that you and my cousin are loving and harmonious, I am happy for you."
Her words were so sincere that if I hadn't known her true face, I would have mistaken her for a kind-hearted person.
"My cousin is so thoughtful." Jiang Rong showed a touch of emotion.
Chen Caiwei presented a postcard, "My second sister and I are organizing a poetry gathering in the palace. The Crown Prince's wife is the mistress of the palace, and Caiwei thinks that we must invite you to come and take charge."
Jiang Rong's eyes fell on the four words "Qingfeng Poetry Meeting" on the post, and his thin lips curved up.
One month earlier than in the previous life.
Chen Caiwei, you really can't keep your temper.
She remembered clearly that in her previous life, it was at this Qingfeng Poetry Meeting that Chen Caiwei invited Shen Wenyuan and gave them the opportunity to meet...
Then--
She was given an aphrodisiac.
"You're welcome, cousin. I'll be there on time tomorrow." Jiang Rong took the note and smiled even brighter.
Chen Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that things were going well, and sneered in her heart.
But you were fooled by someone who flattered you as the mistress of the palace. Tomorrow, I will make you lose your reputation and get you out of the palace!
"Princess, the Crown Prince has brought you some candied fruit!" Feicui led Jingzhe in.
Jiang Rong was delighted and took the paper bag, his eyebrows slightly curved, "Your Highness is so kind. I will go and thank you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Caiwei beside her and boasted, "I wanted to keep my cousin to talk more, but it is inconvenient to go to see the prince now. Let's get together again tomorrow."
Chen Caiwei's excitement was completely shattered by the bag of candied fruit.
hateful.
Isn't Jiang Rong just a little prettier than her? Xie Lingxi is blind! She is so angry!
It doesn't matter.
When Jiang Rong is expelled from the palace, she will be the next Crown Prince's Consort.
The wealth of the Xie family and the honorable position of the Crown Prince’s Consort are all hers!
