Yan Zhuo was extremely patient, spoke softly and gently, and narrated the story in a leisurely manner.
How did Grandma Jiang fake her death and return to Xinghua Village? How did she fabricate rumors about Jiang Ying? And how did she make the Jiang family members go there in high spirits and return in disappointment? The story is told vividly.
Jiang Ying looked very stupid after hearing this, "So, you can't trace your ancestry back to your roots?"
"That's true. Elder Jiang arranged for someone to actively dispel the rumors and personally escorted Grandma Jiang to the Ministry of Justice. Your Swallow Return Ceremony in five days will not be affected."
Lord Dog suddenly became cheerful and talkative, and Jiang Ying was extremely suspicious.
What triggered his change of character?
As Jiang Ying looked suspicious and hesitant, a sachet suddenly appeared in Yan Zhuo's hand. It was plain in color and looked of great quality. Jiang Ying's eyes were briefly attracted to it, but soon looked away.
She knew it was her illusion, but she always felt that before the Dog King opened his mouth, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Why are you accusing me of doing things behind my back?"
He said that he had sent people to keep an eye on the Jiang Mansion, and any unusual movement related to her would definitely escape his eyes.
Jiang Ying was as steady as an old dog. "Is your style always like this, my Lord? What's so strange about it?"
The villain is suspicious and jumps up and down. The king should be flexible in dealing with all kinds of changes.
Jiang Ying immediately felt high-end.
Yan Zhuo, "..."
She actually started to show off!
Ever since she gave birth, the little village girl has changed a lot, and now he has seen through her a little bit.
The words are rarely seen and are very touching.
It's better to say it out loud. The only way at this time is to find someone to stimulate together.
He looked at Jiang Ying with a pair of dark eyes, smiling, "Lian Shi really treats you as her own granddaughter. Jiang Yuanyi, Jiang Yuanchen, and Jiang Yuanshang are also very protective of you. From what I have observed during this period of time, except for Luo Shi, everyone else in the Duke's Mansion is wrong, just like how I treat you."
Jiang Ying couldn't help laughing out loud, "I acknowledge the first part, but as for the last part, Your Majesty, please don't forget to flatter yourself."
How could he be good to her?
Is it better to order me to be a concubine? Is it better to shout and scream? Or is it better to doubt and question?
I don't know where the Dog King gets the confidence to say such things.
“If I was really worried about you, afraid that you would act on your emotions and be blinded by me, why would I have to dispatch a special team to keep an eye on the Duke’s Mansion even though the manpower was tight?” Seeing her unappreciative look, Yan Zhuo was so angry that he couldn't help but rush out.
But when Jiang Ying looked back at him with wide eyes, he hurriedly took the tea to cover it up, but the tea in front of him had already been drunk...
Seeing this, Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment, then stood up naturally and took the teapot to refill his tea.
The woman's faint body fragrance emanates as she moves.
As the saying goes, "After dusk, when drinking wine from the east fence, there is a faint fragrance filling the sleeves." Yan Zhuo seemed to see her sitting lazily on the window sill in her spare time, tasting the wine while admiring the scenery in the courtyard.
The scent is light, just like her.
It makes people feel more and more confused and elusive.
Yet it also makes people miss it.
Jiang Ying finished pouring the tea and lowered her head, just as she saw Yan Zhuo staring at her with a slightly dazed look...
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat back in his seat, speaking in a stiff tone:
"Look at what the prince said. You know that others heard it and thought that the prince loved you very much. In fact, it was all for the sake of the child. Moreover, for the prince, the Duke's Mansion has great achievements and prestige, so he should have more eyes on it. In addition, there are orphans and widows in the family. It is normal for the prince to be jealous and take care of them a little more."
Yan Zhuo, "..."
She finished her words but didn't say anything more.
He was so angry that he drank the full cup of tea in a flash, and then pushed the cup in front of Jiang Ying, "Fill it again."
Jiang Ying gritted his teeth secretly, wanting to scold him for being childish, but he swallowed it in the end and resigned himself to refilling the cup. "Yes, this cup of tea is to thank you for your usual concern, Your Majesty."
Weird and weird.
The more I said, the more choked I became.
Jiang Ying was not aware of anything, and his thoughts raced. "Your Highness specifically mentioned Grandma Jiang. I guess he just wanted to tell me that she was taken to the Ministry of Justice, right?"
When Yan Zhuo mentioned Grandma Jiang just now, it was obvious that there was something else behind his words.
I don't know what evidence he has on me again?
Jiang Ying felt a little miserable.
It was a pity that after she asked the question, Yan Zhuo deliberately ignored her and gently pretended to taste tea, as if if she said a few good words, he would reveal his arrogance.
This made Jiang Ying, who was suffering from curiosity, feel like a cat scratching him.
For a long time, she endured the pain and didn't open the mouth. When her emotions calmed down, Yan Zhuo opened the mouth a little, "I did find some strange things, that's right."
"Do you want to hear it?"
“…”
"I dare say that Lian Shi knows about this, or even if she knows, she will tell you."
Curiosity killed the cat. Jiang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"She is just a servant. She was able to succeed in the exchange because of the right time and the right people. Such good luck does not always come. Don't believe it! She is just a grandmother, but my grandmother can still deal with her!"
Besides, she has been sent to the Ministry of Justice, so how can she have the chance to do anything wrong?
Jiang Ying believed that Yan Zhuo was slandering her. This man was very sinister and must be planning something bad.
Thinking of this, she had the urge to see the guest off.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in a room...
The main thing is that what needs to be said has been made extremely clear.
If he still insisted on marrying her, whether as a principal wife or a concubine, she would still "marry" him if he could really compete with her.
There's no need to gamble with your life, right?
It's just that after you get married, whether you will be a good wife and mother, or break up the house and run away for no reason, that's decided!
Just when Jiang Ying was about to throw the can down the drain, Yan Zhuo had put on enough airs and slowly began to talk, "…There is a curse from the Miao area. The person who casts the curse raises a dragon with his body and offers a blood sacrifice. Not only will the cursed person's bad luck come true, but all the good luck in his life will be transferred to the descendants of the person who offered the sacrifice."
"I suspect that someone secretly induced Aunt Jiang to cast such a curse on the Jiang family."
"The person behind this is secretive and his identity is unknown. Even I did not find any clues. I only heard some of them from the conversation between Grandma Jiang and Grandma Jiang when she returned to Xinghua Village."
"I wanted to scare the snake away, but the Lian family also sent people to capture Grandma Jiang without hesitation."
"You know, when that wife was sent to the Ministry of Justice, she was bloodthirsty and crazy. She secretly used a hidden porcelain piece to scratch her arm to bleed, and kept shouting 'blood debt must be paid with blood'."
"That...everyone who has seen it says it makes them shiver."
Jiang Ying's heart beat wildly, his ears buzzed, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Zhuo's mouth when he heard these words.
He is lying! He must be lying, right?
How could there be such a weird curse in the world!
However, Yan Zhuo did not avoid his heavy gaze at all, which made Jiang Ying's hope gradually dim, and he soon panicked.
She thought about the bizarre and tragic experiences of all the people in the Jiang family in the novel...
Yan Zhuo did not give Jiang Ying time to digest it, and slowly opened his mouth, "When you were in Xiangguo Temple, you diagnosed Lian with poisoning. Was I right?"
"It's a pity that your good intentions have made things complicated."
"After Lian came back, she quickly checked everyone around her and finally found a reasonable suspect, Doctor Hu, who made the medicine for her."
"However, the clues here have taken a turn that is difficult for Lian Shi."
"It turns out that Doctor Hu colluded with a mysterious eunuch to give Lian the drug."
"Ying'er, you are very smart. Guess who this eunuch who hides his head and shows his tail is? Is he personally hostile to the Lian family, or is he targeting the entire Jiang Guogong Mansion?"
"Who is it that used the evil snake curse on the Jiang family?"
"There are so many questions, dangers, calculations and means. When you become the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, how will you deal with them? Will you turn a blind eye or fight to the end?"
"So, Ying'er, whether it's for yourself, your child, or the entire Jiang Guogong Mansion, marrying me is the best choice. After all, the fact that I can investigate these proves my ability and power."
"Whatever you admit."
"Your grandmother has been secretly investigating for a long time, but so far, she still knows only one part of the truth."
"As for me, my success rate is at least 80%."
"In this case, are you still going to refuse to marry me? Do you care whether your grandmother, brother, or father live or die?"
