Chapter 101
Crying secretly
"Miss Three."
Xu Zhiyan opened his palm, and a lotus-shaped jade pendant appeared.
"This is the last thing he can do for you. He must have paid a great price to get His Highness to agree to take you into the palace. If you are smart, you should protect yourself and stop scheming. Third Miss, it's not easy for him to live until now. Don't hurt him anymore."
It's useless to pay a price just to let her enter the mansion as a concubine.
He frowned and snatched the jade pendant.
Jiang Fuqin was upset.
When she met Xu Zhiyan's mocking eyes, she angrily smashed the jade pendant to the ground and stepped on the fragments, with more and more resentment in her eyes.
“It’s really useless.”
Since you are helping her, you must help her to the end, even if it means sacrificing your own life, you should let me be the princess.
Now you know you are too embarrassed to face me and are hiding yourself?
Jiang Fuqin's ruthless words made everyone's faces gloomy, and Xu Zhiyan clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.
He had said it a long time ago.
Jiang Fuqin is not worthy of his dedication or his deep love.
"Brother Zhiyan."
She looked at Xu Zhiyan coldly, gritting her teeth.
"Tell him that since he promised me, he has to help me and keep helping me. He'd better show up soon, otherwise I will never forgive him."
Xu Zhiyan's eyes were gloomy.
From beginning to end, she never asked if he was okay, and didn't worry about what price he paid.
She was just worried that no one would help her and she wouldn't be able to achieve her desired goal.
Jiang Fuqin looked at Xu Zhiyan. She knew that Xu Zhiyan looked down on her, but she didn't care. She snorted, with determination in her eyes.
Turn around.
She walked towards those people without hesitation.
The people from Prince Yueming's palace retreated to both sides, leaving a path in the middle. They looked arrogant and did not greet them.
Jiang Fuqin was furious. She looked at them coldly and sneered.
"Walk!"
Without even looking at the Jiang family, she left without looking back.
Mrs. Jiang felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter leaving alone, and turned around and gave hurried instructions.
"Pack up all of Third Miss's things and send them over. There is nothing over there, how is she going to live? Send her all the good things she needs, and the extra change will also help her manage it."
"yes."
The servant turned around and went back to work. Mrs. Jiang turned around and looked at Jiang Fuxiao, who looked indifferent, and went up to her and pinched her arm hard.
"Your sister has been framed and forced to become a concubine in Prince Yueming's mansion, and you still look like you don't care. Can you please behave yourself? She is your biological sister."
Jiang Fuxiao covered his arm that was pinched and sneered with red eyes, "So what if she is my sister?"
She might as well not have it!
Seeing his mother looking at the direction Jiang Fuqin was leaving reluctantly, Jiang Fuxiao couldn't help but mock her.
"Don't look at it. She won't come back once she goes in. You won't have a daughter to rely on anymore."
"Are you dead? You don't intend to let me rely on you?"
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him again. This time Jiang Fuxiao did not dodge, but stepped forward and said hatefully.
"Mother, you may have forgotten that you have loved and protected your sister all these years. If you rely on me, I will be like you, a little beating today and a big beating tomorrow. Can you bear it?"
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her teeth were bared and she raised her hand to hit him, but the old woman who had already entered the room pushed open the window and started cursing again.
"Damn it, there's nothing in there. Do you want me to starve to death or freeze to death? Did I give birth to you in vain? Did I plan for you in vain? If it weren't for me, would you be able to live the good life you have now and marry an official?"
"How can you be so heartless? Because of you, I was imprisoned in Rong Mansion for more than ten years... Do you know how much I have suffered? Why don't you bring me delicious food and drinks, and find me nice clothes..."
In front of her was her biological mother's scolding, behind her was her daughter's disobedience, and in the middle she also lost a daughter. Mrs. Jiang had a splitting headache and yelled.
"Go get it to her. Give her whatever she wants. As long as she keeps her mouth shut."
That's not the case.
None of this was what she wanted. She had thought about being granted an imperial decree, about being rich and glorious, about having a life of honor, but she had never thought that this was the life she was living now.
That old woman...that damn old woman...Mrs. Jiang stared at the window with fierceness in her eyes.
"Let's go."
Jiang Zhiyu took Jiang Zhaoying by the hand and talked to Xu Zhiyan.
Mrs. Jiang wanted to stop them, but was frightened by Jiang Zhiyu's cold eyes.
The three of them left the yard together.
Behind him, there was the sound of things being smashed and the old woman swearing. It was a complete chaos and Jiang Zhiyu's eyes were cold.
"People's hearts are so fickle. She really behaved very well in the beginning."
He doesn't mind people having purposes.
In fact.
People should live with a purpose, so that everyone will work hard.
What a pity.
Her goal was to make her worse and worse, more and more unbearable.
She is too greedy.
"I'm going to go find him."
Jiang Zhaoying turned around and talked to her two brothers. Xu Zhiyan's face looked a little pale.
"But we don't know where he is."
"He told me his birth date."
Jiang Zhaoying took out the compass and began to calculate. After figuring out the approximate direction, they went out and ran towards a mountain in the west.
Searching one mountain at a time.
I found the night from the day, and found the warmth of the sun from the coldness of the night.
Finally found some clues.
The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the steeper it gets.
But unexpectedly there was a small path, and judging from the traces, there must be someone on it.
It was not until they reached a small open space on the top of the mountain that they stopped, panting, and looked up into the distance. There was a slender figure covered in dew, sitting there alone.
Like a sculpture, motionless.
It seemed like he was enjoying the mountain scenery, but also seemed like he was waiting for them.
Hear the sound.
He turned his head slowly and his pupils shrank sharply.
"Big Brother, what are you doing here?"
The deep mountains and wild forests are lonely and secluded. You can hide there for a day, but can you hide there for a lifetime?
Wei Jiuzhao's eyes were deep, filled with pain and struggle. Jiang Zhaoying walked into his eyes step by step, and he began to feel guilty again.
Turned around hurriedly.
Trembling.
He didn't dare look at Jiang Zhaoying.
Only then did Jiang Zhaoying realize that ten steps in front of her was actually a bottomless abyss. The wind was blowing wildly and a roar like that of a wild beast could be heard from below.
After a while, Wei Jiuzhao spoke softly.
"I was picked up by Master's wife and brought back to the Jiang Mansion."
There was a flood that year and his hometown was submerged. Everyone fled everywhere and few people survived.
When he collapsed on the side of the road, waiting to die of hunger, Rong Lingzhu, who was still a maid, appeared in front of him and picked him up.
No one will understand how happy and satisfied you will feel when you hold a hot bun in your hand, take a bite and taste its delicious flavor.
later.
She became Mrs. Jiang and had her own daughter. He then stayed with Jiang Fuqin, watched her being born, and watched her grow up little by little.
He was really happy during those years. Because he had enough to eat and warm clothes, he grew taller and older very quickly.
Once.
Mrs. Jiang asked him if he was willing to protect Fuqin for the rest of his life, care about only her, take care of her, and consider everything for her.
Of course he nodded, willing to do anything, even his life.
No one knew where Mrs. Jiang invited this master from, but she tricked Jiang Zhaoying into the courtyard, fed him medicine, and had him lie down with her.
He didn't remember the specific process, he just remembered that it was very painful. Jiang Zhaoying beside him was also in pain. Even though she was unconscious, he could hear her screams in pain.
The master then connected his fate with Jiang Fuqin's, and anything he did could help Jiang Fuqin.
"Is it you or the person behind the ghost?"
It is impossible to trap and raise so many ghosts in Qingshan Town in a short period of time. The person behind this cannot be a capable person.
"He used Jiang Fuqin's fate to do this, because only in this way will those ghosts obey Fuqin. This is why Jiang Fuqin has always been weak and sick from time to time."
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes were filled with shock. Listening to Wei Jiuzhao talking about these things as if he was telling someone else's story, he stepped forward and punched Wei Jiuzhao in the face.
"I never thought you could be so mean."
After knowing each other for so many years, they have always had a deep relationship and are as close as a family.
Even after all these years.
Wei Jiuzhao has been helping them.
In his heart, Xu Zhiyan is a relative, and so is Wei Jiuzhao.
His father had always thought highly of him and even trained him as the next generation of the Imperial Observatory, placing all his high hopes on him.
But the truth was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, and he was gone before he could even cry out in pain.
"What do you want me to do? Wei Jiuzhao."
Jiang Zhiyu murmured in pain, his veins popping out as he clenched his fists. He wanted to beat Wei Jiuzhao to death, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"I didn't know what the Master's wife was doing at the time. I... I only found out what it was after I grew up. Over the years, I have been making up for it."
"But you killed many innocent lives."
If they had not arranged it that way and nourished the ghosts, the dragon veins would not have become angry, earthquakes would not have occurred, and the people would not have died.
"kindness."
Wei Jiuzhao looked pale and nodded slightly.
"That plan is actually perfect. It can not only bring down the crown prince, but also test whether you still have real ability. It can also let King Yueming go to the disaster area to provide disaster relief and help the people. In this way, King Yueming's reputation will definitely rise. But Ying'er, how did you know?"
They had been planning this for thirteen years, but they didn't expect that she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would get there first. After all the hassles, they ended up making things difficult for the Crown Prince.
Jiang Zhaoying looked away with cold eyes, and Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward.
"That year, my sister was seriously ill and almost died. I gave her my luck, which saved her life."
"You probably wouldn't expect this." A little squirrel jumped out. Jiang Zhaoying stepped aside and pointed to the east. The little squirrel immediately jumped to the east. "Brother's luck is stronger and better than mine. He is the real son of luck. After the luck came to me, it saved my life. It took me many years to merge with luck..."
Wei Jiuzhao's eyes were filled with relief when he heard this. He was relieved that Jiang Zhaoying was alive, and he was relieved that he did not kill her.
These years.
Because of this incident, he has been carrying heavy pain and regret, but for Jiang Fuqin, he can't say anything.
"Are you and Jiang Fuqin actually married?"
Xu Zhiyan suddenly asked this question, and pain and regret flashed across Wei Jiuzhao's eyes.
"No, Master's wife didn't plan to marry her to me. From the beginning, Master's wife said that Fuqin would be rich and powerful in the future, and she would be high and mighty, and even the most noble woman in the world."
so.
He knew from the beginning that he was unworthy.
He suppressed his love deep in his heart and even deliberately distanced himself from her sometimes, but Jiang Fuqin was the girl he watched being born, growing up, and growing up with, so as long as she called him, his legs would uncontrollably lead him to her side.
He was willing to stay by Jiang Fuqin's side and guard her silently.
Willing to do anything for her, even if it means hurting everyone around her.
"Big Brother."
Jiang Zhaoying stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the endless abyss below.
"My mother asked her to go and bring you back."
Wei Jiuzhao's body trembled violently. In panic, he looked away, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.
Mrs. Jiang said.
She saved it herself.
But he was not a fool. Later he found out that it was his ex-wife who asked her to save him, because at that time, she was still a maid. How could she bring anyone into the house without the mistress's consent?
"Ying'er, you can do whatever you want to me, even if it means taking my life."
Carrying Jiang Zhaoying's fate, he cannot act rashly, otherwise retribution will definitely befall Jiang Zhaoying.
He couldn't hurt her anymore.
The last time something happened in Qingshan Town, he didn't want to take action again, but Jiang Fuqin used the puppet talisman to force him to activate the formation, vowing to beat Jiang Zhaoying into the abyss of the evil ghost.
Listening to Jiang Fuqin saying such cruel words, he actually felt cold in his heart and full of disappointment.
He didn't understand how he could fall in love with such a woman.
Shouldn't she be as gentle and kind as Zhaoying?
Maybe.
He had known for a long time that Madam Jiang and Jiang Fuqin were the same type of people. They seemed to be very kind and gentle to him, but in fact they just wanted to use him.
He wanted to harden his heart several times, but Jiang Fuqin's tears always softened his heart.
Constantly soft-hearted.
This time.
Jiang Fuqin planned to make a big splash, becoming the most outstanding woman in the capital, a goddess praised by everyone, and then move into Prince Yueming's palace in a high-profile manner.
When King Yueming takes the throne of Crown Prince, it will be just a matter of time before she becomes the most noble woman in the world.
He thought about it.
He would stop helping her to this point and never do anything else. He even found this place early and built a wooden house for himself, wanting to live out his life here with the sky as his base and the earth as his blanket.
only.
Jiang Zhaoying is so amazing that she can find this place just by looking at her birth date.
Looking at the small wooden house, the small vegetable patch, and the flowers planted around it not far away, Jiang Zhaoying's eyes felt very sore.
Living on the edge of this cliff, I am all alone.
He is obviously most afraid of one person!
“Is it worth it?”
She asked Wei Jiuzhao in a trembling voice, is it really worth it for Jiang Fuqin who is that person?
"I have no idea."
Wei Jiuzhao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling violently. He used to think it was worth it, but in recent years, he has become more and more conflicted.
"You clearly have your own right and wrong in your heart, so why do you keep letting them take advantage of you? Just for the so-called life-saving grace? Or do you think you love so magnanimously?"
As anger burned in her heart, Jiang Zhaoying's tears kept flowing out.
"Do you know how many innocent lives you have killed?"
Even though she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tried their best to bring everyone out and save them, some people still died. Those were human lives.
If they had not saved so many people, offsetting most of their sins, and with the protection of the mountain god and the dragon veins, all the retribution would have beenfallen on Jiang Zhaoying.
"Or do you think that since you guys have killed so many people, it doesn't matter if I take the consequences? Do you think I can bear such a heavy punishment?"
“No, no…”
Wei Jiuzhao's face showed more and more guilt. In panic, he leaned over and hugged Jiang Zhaoying into his arms, his voice trembling violently.
"That's not the case, no."
He never thought of hurting this little sister, she was so kind, so wise, and so bright.
He regretted it.
real.
He had secretly followed her, observed her, and protected her.
I know that Jiang Zhaoying secretly opened a charity to help poor people.
I also knew that she would hide under a tree and cry secretly during the holidays because she missed her mother.
She was also seen rescuing injured birds, dogs and cats.
I also saw her jumping up to pick a plum blossom from a high place, and being soaked by the falling snow.
