"The lone star of fate? The reincarnation of the God of Plague?"
Jiang Qingyao's expression gradually turned cold.
Chu Lu looked at Jiang Qingyao anxiously and stammered, "There are even more outrageous rumors. They say... it's because the young lady is going to marry into the Anguo Marquis's mansion that... that's why the Anguo Marquis died. The young lady is unlucky and will cause the Anguo Marquis's mansion to decline."
This is the most vicious rumor. It is simply murderous and heartbreaking. It is going to force the young lady into a desperate situation.
Zhitao was furious. "How could it be Miss's fault that Marquis Anguo got into trouble? What does it have to do with Miss? Those people should stop going too far!"
Huajianju suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Jiang Qingyao to speak.
Jiang Qingyao pursed her lips.
There was no such thing in the previous life, and the fortune teller Jiang Qingyao had no idea about it, which means that her grandmother and father had kept it secret in the previous life.
Who spread it now?
It was unlikely for her grandmother and father. Although they hated her, they were still cautious and knew how much benefit the marriage with the Anguo Marquisate would bring to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion. They would not easily ruin the marriage.
Then we need to see who knows about it.
Jiang Qingyao took a deep breath and said quietly, "What kind of fortune-telling? I don't believe in fate. I only believe that everything is in my own hands."
If she really was the reincarnation of the unlucky star and the plague god, why would God give her a chance to start over?
"But people's hearts are unpredictable, and rumors are terrifying. If I don't handle them well, the spit from outside will drown me."
Ning's face turned pale. "Miss, the Anguo Marquis' Mansion has heard the rumors. What if the engagement is cancelled?"
Breaking off the engagement is a bad thing for Jiang Qingyao and the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion as well.
In this way, she would lose her usefulness and become an abandoned pawn. Those people in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion would definitely torture her.
The maids were at a loss, as if they had lost their parents.
Jiang Qingyao tapped the table with her fingertips. "Bring up some fresh fruits and snacks. Let's eat and think about it."
Maid:?
…
Fu Sheng Tang.
Madam Jiang, who was sitting at the head of the table, had a cold look on her pale, old face. She stared at Xu with cloudy eyes and said coldly, "You spread it?"
"Cough cough cough" she started coughing violently.
Xu twisted her fingers together, feigning composure. "It's unfair! How dare I? Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare do this. What good would it do me?"
"The Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion is my support. No matter how stupid I am, I will never do anything that will harm the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."
Hearing this, Jiang Yisong also chimed in, "Mother, Yun Fei is not such a shallow and ignorant person. If she said it wasn't her, then it must not be her."
Xu nodded quickly, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on her back.
I'm still feeling anxious.
Could it be Xueer?
I should never tell Xueer about this.
As for why Qin Yurong was not suspected, it was because she had a fever after being sent to the nunnery and had been bedridden. The old woman who was guarding her said that she had no chance to come into contact with outsiders.
Having no clue, Jiang Yisong said unhappily, "Without this connection to the Marquis of Anguo Mansion, how much benefit will I lose in the future?"
Others look down on the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion even more. What are the expressions of his colleagues?
"I also hope that through the Anguo Marquisate, I can find a good future for Xize Huanming, and Xue'er, Shuning, and Junru can also find a good family."
"It's ruined, everything is ruined!"
After Jiang Yisong finished speaking, Xu regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. Her Xize would have a difficult life in the future.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but blame her daughter for being too short-sighted. She only wanted to destroy Jiang Qingyao but didn't think about future benefits.
Old Madam Jiang suddenly felt weak and could not get out of bed in the afternoon. Her illness became even worse.
The funeral of Marquis Anguo was a grand affair, and his body was kept for 49 days before being laid to rest.
Those who came today are all very close to the Anguo Marquis Mansion.
Jiang Qingyao got up early, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and asked Zhitao to bring her a set of plain clothes.
She was wearing a white dress and a jade hairpin in her hair. She was obviously plain to the extreme, but with her red lips and fair skin, her waterfall-like black hair and flowing skirt flying in the wind, she still looked like a fairy.
Old Madam Jiang coughed so much that her eyes were blurry and her head was swollen, and she couldn't get up at all, so only Jiang Yisong, Xu, Jiang Qingyao and Jiang Yunxue were present.
Jiang Yunxue, who had dressed up carefully early in the morning, saw Jiang Qingyao, who was as beautiful as a white plum blossom in the snow, and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Once again suppressed by Jiang Qingyao!
"Who are you dressing up like this for? Do you think you're going to a wedding?!" Jiang Yisong was displeased. "Go change and come back."
"Father..." Jiang Yunxue felt indescribably depressed.
Xu held her hand and said, "Listen to your father and change it quickly."
If Jiang Yunxue were really allowed to wear gold, jade, and gorgeous clothes to attend the funeral, she probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Anguo Marquis Mansion and would be laughed at.
Jiang Yisong said with a straight face, "Look at your well-educated daughter, she has no brains at all."
Xu felt wronged. This was not her own fault. Her husband also contributed to it. How could she be blamed alone?
Soon, Jiang Yunxue changed her clothes. Now standing next to Jiang Qingyao, she looked more like a maid. She was almost angry to death.
When the carriage arrived at the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, the people who came to attend the funeral almost broke down the threshold.
When people from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion entered the mansion, they saw elegant courtyards, waterside pavilions, sandalwood tables and chairs, Suzhou embroidery screens, and various precious furnishings, every detail of which exuded luxury.
This was Jiang Yunxue's second visit to the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, and she was once again shocked and dazzled by its wealth.
Jiang Qingyao will live in such a luxurious place in the future? No matter how high her marriage is, she will probably never be able to compare with Jiang Qingyao, right?
What's more, she has lost her innocence and it will be difficult for her to find a good family.
