Chapter 28 Xie Lingxi only loves her
Old Concubine Xie frowned, "Rong'er has just married into the palace, this is inappropriate..."
It is not common to take a concubine immediately after a wedding.
"Wait another two months, there's no rush." Concubine Zhao said.
Old Concubine Xie did not refute this time. For her, she protected Jiang Rong because of Xie Lingxi...
If Xie Lingxi liked this woman, she would naturally not object.
"I am a common girl of humble appearance and low status, I dare not marry someone of such high status." Qiu Niang kowtowed in fear and declined.
Concubine Zhao smiled slightly, "Look, she is not greedy or envious, she has a good character. Why don't you thank the Concubine Dowager quickly."
Qiu Niang was in a very difficult situation. As a bought “slave”, she had no right to refuse…
"I don't like her." Xie Lingxi refused coldly.
"This is what you rescued..." Concubine Zhao looked at Xie Lingxi in surprise.
If it wasn't for his lust for beauty, what reason would there be for a playboy to save someone?
"I can't stand Zhou Hongyang, and I'm trying to snatch her away just to go against him." Xie Lingxi said casually.
This is quite consistent with the behavior of a dandy.
Concubine Zhao was speechless.
Xie Lingxi's eyes fell on Jiang Rong's face again. She sat beside her grandmother, and when talking about taking a concubine, she looked calm and composed, with no change in her expression from beginning to end.
It seemed as if the ending had already been predicted.
Jiang Rong was indeed very sure. Because Xie Lingxi only loved her in his life, how could he take a concubine?
Feeling Xie Lingxi's gaze, Jiang Rong smiled sweetly at him, looking very obedient.
Got it, got it. You don't take a concubine, you only love me. I can understand without any eye contact, I love you too!
…
Return to Jinyuyuan.
Xie Lingxi went to the study, and Qiu Niang bowed to Jiang Rong:
"I have been keeping vigil for my father recently and have not yet paid my respects to the Crown Prince's wife. I...I pay my respects to the Crown Prince's wife!"
She felt a little uneasy.
Although she refused to take a concubine and the prince had no interest in her, she was rescued by the prince after all and was almost promised to him... Few mistresses would not care about such an identity.
"You get up. Your father was killed by Zhou Hongyang, and I can avenge you. Are you willing to be my confidant and do things for me?" Jiang Rong looked at her and smiled.
Yingxia was sent away by her excuse. Now it was Feicui who was guarding her. These earth-shattering words stunned both of them...
Qiu Niang came back to her senses and kowtowed:
"The Crown Prince saved me, so the Crown Prince's wife is my master. I should go through fire and water for her to repay your kindness. Regardless of whether you avenge me or not, this is what I should do."
Then she said worriedly, "Zhou Hongyang is the son of the Minister of Justice. I know that murdering the son of an important official of the court is a capital crime, so I dare not... I dare not implicate the Crown Prince's wife..."
"Don't worry, I have my own way, but it just takes some time to plan." Jiang Rong smiled.
In her previous life, she killed Zhou Hongyang.
Just kill again.
Qiu Niang was shocked and delighted. She didn't know what to do. She kowtowed heavily to Jiang Rong:
"The Crown Princess has been so kind and generous, I will repay her with my bones broken into pieces."
She didn't expect that the Crown Princess not only didn't mind her embarrassing identity at all, but was also willing to take her in as a confidant and even avenge her...
"Get up, if you die, you can't repay me..." Jiang Rong chuckled and said:
"I want you to open a bookstore..."
Jiang Rong explained his arrangements in detail.
Qiu Niang was flattered, "I am worried that I am not up to the task..."
Her father was once a scholar, but he never passed the imperial examination. Qiu Niang followed him since she was a child, and she knew how to read and count. She was the one who calculated the bills for the noodle stall, but she had never run such a big business...
"It's okay, I think you can do it." Jiang Rong waved his hand, "I'll leave it to you."
In her previous life, Qiu Niang managed her business for her and gradually stood out from the crowd...
Jiang Rong took out a silver note worth 1,000 taels from her dowry box, handed it to Qiu Niang, and asked her to prepare for the opening of a bookstore...
She counted the dowry carefully again.
The amount of silver deposited in the money shop was more than 30,000 taels.
There are seven shops: three medicine shops on the North Street of the capital, one silk shop, one rouge shop, and one jewelry shop on the West Street, and one restaurant on the East Street.
There is another villa outside the city.
Jiang Rong placed his index finger on the title deed of the villa, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Her mother was from the Bai family in Xinglin, Jiangbei. Her family had been practicing medicine for generations, and Jiang's mother was also a famous female doctor.
Two months after Jiang Rong was born, he was killed by bandits.
This villa is my mother's other home. Inside is a library where my mother's precious manuscripts are kept.
For a doctor, this manuscript is her life's work.
In his previous life, Jiang Rong didn't know how to deal with his mother's belongings. Because medical skills and other skills are often secrets that cannot be passed on, they can only be kept temporarily.
It was not until two years later when her cousin from Jiangbei came to Beijing that she realized that her mother had always had a wish, which was to compile her life's learning into a book and spread it around the world, so that more people would be free from pain...
It was a pity that a thunderstorm occurred that summer and everything in the villa was burned down.
This is a great regret for Jiang Rong, that she was unable to fulfill her mother's wish.
It’s not too late to make amends now.
…
The next morning, Songhe Hall.
"When I returned to the Jiang family yesterday, my aunt returned all the shops to me. In the next few days, I plan to visit various shops... There is a villa outside the city, which was my mother's former residence. I want to go and see it today..." Jiang Rong said, looking at the old Concubine Xie.
The aristocratic family has strict access control.
When traveling, one must ask for permission from the elders. When Jiang Rong was in the Jiang family, Chang had always kept her at home, rarely letting her leave the house, and not letting her out of control.
"Rong'er, you can make your own decision. There's no need to ask me about everything. Bring more guards with you when you go out." Old Concubine Xie said with a smile, being very tolerant of her.
After coming out of Songhe Hall, Jiang Rong immediately ordered people to harness the carriage and prepare to go out of the city.
Xie Lingxi followed her closely.
"Husband, are you free to accompany me?" Jiang Rong's eyebrows were frivolous, her brows were slightly curved, and there was a hint of excitement in her voice.
She knew that her husband looked like a lazy dude, but he was actually very busy.
Jiang Rong never bothered him during the day and did not affect his important work.
I just wait for him to come back every night and sleep together.
"Yeah." Xie Lingxi nodded.
I wonder if there is any record of the nine miraculous medicines in that person’s manuscript.
He looked at Jiang Rong, who was smiling brightly in front of him. She had to take the second miraculous medicine within a month...
To cure the Yellow Springs poison, one needs to collect nine miraculous medicines.
If you take two of these miraculous herbs before the poison takes effect, you can extend your life for half a year. If you take two of these herbs within half a year, you can extend your life for another year.
Before the end of life, you need to take the remaining five miraculous medicines to be cured.
The little girl's smile is bright and dazzling.
Today is already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and there are only 23 days left...
Xie Lingxi's eyes couldn't help but darken.
"Husband, why are you unhappy?" Jiang Rong stretched out her slender fingers, grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook it gently.
Xie Lingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "No."
"You clearly looked unhappy just now!" Jiang Rong looked at him suspiciously.
Xie Lingxi was slightly stunned.
Because she was dying, he was... unhappy?
Xie Lingxi stopped thinking, looked at Jiang Rong with narrow eyes, and rubbed her little head with his hand:
"You're wrong."
"That's right. It's your honor to hang out with me. You should be very happy." Jiang Rong nodded to himself.
Xie Lingxi was stunned for a moment. Ah, this... is ridiculously reasonable.
