Chapter 97
Admit your fault to Miss Jiang
Jiang Zhaoying didn't say anything, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. Liu Yanchen naturally understood what she meant, so he turned around and said coldly.
"Come here and apologize to Miss Jiang."
Shock filled Miss Liu's eyes. She had been treated with great respect since she was a child. Her second brother doted on her. If he had heard that she was being bullied in the past, he would have stood up for her, even if it meant killing someone.
But now, he actually...
Miss Liu Si frowned and took the arm of the Prime Minister's wife, speaking in a delicate voice of grievance.
"Mother, today is my coming-of-age party. How can I face people in the future if my second brother disrespects my dignity like this?"
The Prime Minister's wife thought it made sense. Besides, Jiang Zhaoying's status was not prominent, so there was no need to be so fussy about it.
Just about to speak.
But Liu Yanchen's eyebrows suddenly turned cold. The Prime Minister's wife knew the personality of her second son, so she patted the back of her daughter's hand and pushed her to the front.
Fourth Miss Liu gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Zhaoying, but still uttered a few words.
"sorry."
After saying.
Miss Liu Si turned around and threw herself into the arms of the Prime Minister's wife and began to sob. Today was her big day, the most important day in a woman's life, but it was ruined like this by Jiang Zhaoying, making her lose all face. She really hated Jiang Zhaoying.
Old Madam Liu looked at Liu Yanchen's attitude and felt gloomy in her heart, vaguely guessing how serious the matter was.
Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
"Let's find out the traitor in your Liu Mansion first."
"An insider?"
Madam Liu's eyes narrowed. How could there be a traitor? This is impossible. The rules of the Liu Mansion have always been strict, and everyone's background has been carefully checked.
But what surprised her even more was that in less than half an hour, two servants who were usually very respectable were dragged in. When she asked them, she found out that they had actually taken money. The person behind the scenes was a girl, who was wearing a gauze hat at the time so they couldn't see her face. The other party gave them five hundred taels of silver and asked them to put a stone in a designated location.
They thought it was no big deal, so they did as they were told. However, they didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would set up an array in the Liu Mansion, causing the old lady to faint.
so.
There is no need to think about it, the person behind this is undoubtedly Jiang Fuqin.
Jiang Zhaoying drank tea while observing King Yueming's expression, but this man was really secretive. His expression did not change from beginning to end, and he did not interfere in the affairs of the Liu Mansion. He just sat there quietly, occasionally looking at Miss Liu Si.
The servants were quickly sold off.
The Prime Minister's wife and Jiang Jianzheng said unhappily.
"In the final analysis, it was Jiang Jianzheng's daughter who had evil intentions. Now the old lady has such serious health problems because of her. The Jiang family should be held responsible."
The implication is.
Liu Yanchen didn't need to beg Jiang Zhaoying for help at all. She helped them only because they were at fault.
Jiang Jianzheng raised his eyes.
"Jiang Fuqin will be dealt with by the Xiangfu, and I will never say a word, but Jiang Fuqin is Jiang Fuqin, and Jiang Zhaoying is Jiang Zhaoying. The two cannot be confused. It is impossible for Jiang Zhaoying to bear the consequences of Jiang Fuqin's mistakes. It doesn't make sense. Instead, you should all settle the many injustices and humiliations against Zhaoying. I'm afraid this matter should be settled carefully."
These words were so strong and blunt that everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion looked angry.
But he is the director of the Imperial Observatory, and everyone has to give him some face, so he is so angry that he can't even vent.
otherwise.
If there are two more scums like Jiang Fuqin, they will be hard to guard against.
"The eldest daughter-in-law."
Madam Liu raised her hand, and the Prime Minister's wife quickly turned around and helped her up. The old lady then gave instructions.
"Go to my private vault and pick out five sets of top-quality headgear and give them to Zhaoying. I, an old woman, didn't know how to judge people and was taken advantage of. I wrongly accused her."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
When the Prime Minister's wife heard her mother-in-law say this, she was so frightened that her heart was shaking. She had witnessed the methods of this mother-in-law since the third day after she came into the house. She had been vigorous and resolute for decades, and had always been able to turn the tide and saved the Liu family from life and death several times.
Unexpectedly.
She was actually willing to say such words to a junior.
"Everyone has their own life and death. I have lived for several decades, which is enough. Jiang Jianzheng, please take a seat."
Jiang Jianzheng bowed and then sat down.
Jiang Zhaoying was slightly surprised when she heard the old lady Liu's flexible words. The old lady definitely played an indispensable role in the Liu family's current status.
Five sets of headgear appeared neatly in front of Jiang Zhaoying. After thanking them, Jiang Zhaoying shook her head slightly.
"Madam, I have too many of these things, but the three paintings on your wall are quite nice."
Old Madam Liu’s eyes darkened.
The atmosphere in the wing room immediately became tense, and all the heads of the Liu family looked angry.
This is the old lady's ultimate favorite painting. They take good care of it every year, and it still looks like new after more than ten years.
"Child, these three paintings won't do. If you like calligraphy and paintings, let Yanchen take you to the storeroom and pick out ten that you like. How about that?"
"But it was done by the same person?"
Jiang Zhaoying looked at the three paintings on the wall with longing in her eyes, and it was obvious that she liked them very much.
Although Old Madam Liu was very reluctant, she nodded for the sake of her own life.
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at Liu Yanchen, and Liu Yanchen raised his hand and led Jiang Zhaoying out of the door.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour and passing through a dense woods, they finally saw the old lady's private vault. When the servant saw that it was the second young master, he hurriedly opened the door.
Dozens of servants came forward to salute, and Liu Yanchen waved his hand. They retreated silently and continued to take care of the various treasures quietly.
Liu Yanchen turned his head.
Seeing that Jiang Zhaoying was not surprised and was not attracted by the treasure in front of her at all, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Just ahead."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded and walked through the rows, but her hands were slightly clenched in her sleeves.
The Wen family's calligraphy and paintings were collected separately, and each one was carefully maintained, even exuding the fragrance of wood from years of age.
These are all Wen’s things.
"This is just a private collection, not a masterpiece by a famous artist. There are many more famous and valuable paintings and calligraphy over there. You can choose any of them."
Liu Yanchen raised his hand and pointed. All around him were works of art by various masters, each of which was very valuable. As long as Jiang Zhaoying had good taste, he would not object even if she chose the most valuable one.
“It looks comfortable.”
A gleam of interest flashed across Jiang Zhaoying's eyes, and then she leaned over and seemingly casually picked up ten paintings and handed them to the servant.
"Thank you very much."
A smile flashed across Liu Yanchen's phoenix eyes. He walked in front of Jiang Zhaoying and looked down at her.
The servant not far away gently pushed open the window.
When the light comes in.
She and he were reflected as if they had walked out of a painting.
"When are you going to divorce?"
Jiang Zhaoying was stunned.
But when she met Liu Yanchen's all-seeing eyes, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
"The Emperor won't allow us to divorce, don't you know?"
There was a hint of coldness in Liu Yanchen's eyes.
"Mrs. Song's move is indeed vicious enough, but Jiang Zhaoying, I can help you on the condition that you help your grandmother. How about it?"
The conditions were tempting enough, and he didn't believe that Jiang Zhaoying would not be tempted.
But.
Jiang Zhaoying shook her head.
"I will accept these ten paintings and help the old lady through this disaster. As for the divorce, I will find a way."
She had to kill all the members of the Song family before she could leave completely.
"You don't want to leave the Song Mansion?"
Liu Yanchen frowned.
"No, just not now."
The clenched fist in his sleeve loosened slightly, and Liu Yanchen took out two more paintings and stuffed them into Jiang Zhaoying's palm.
"I am very happy to meet you today. This is my gift to you."
"Thanks."
Seeing that it was a painting from the Wen family, Jiang Zhaoying finally accepted it, and Liu Yanchen said with a smile.
"If you like, you can take them all."
"Then the Liu Mansion will definitely not let me go."
After looking at the pile of paintings carefully, Jiang Zhaoying turned around and walked away, talking to Liu Yanchen as she walked.
"I can only save the old lady from suffering for the next three months, but her life span is determined by fate, and I can do nothing about it."
"I don't understand, is that kneeling really that important?"
Jiang Zhaoying turned her head and glanced at him.
"You'll understand later."
After returning to the old lady's yard, Jiang Zhaoying carefully examined the layout of the yard, and then bowed to the old lady.
"As long as the old lady is willing to go to Dajue Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures for half a year, her body will naturally recover. When the time comes, Master Wuyi will tell her what to do."
"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow."
It is not difficult to go to Dajue Temple, and there is the pressure of Yanchen in this mansion, so the other four houses dare not act rashly.
"Every ten days, you can come to the temple and tell me about the Liu Mansion."
"yes."
Liu Yanchen nodded in agreement.
Jiang Zhaoying secretly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to this. If Xu Zhiyan wanted to deal with the Liu family, this old lady would have to leave. Otherwise, with this knowledgeable old Taishan around, their chances of winning would be even smaller.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Jiang Zhaoying stood up and said goodbye.
Jiang Zhaoying then said goodbye.
When I walked out of the yard, I remembered where my father had gone, so I asked the servants and walked in his direction. But in a pavilion, I unexpectedly saw my father standing there with someone.
"Back then, I swore that I would never set foot in my Liu Mansion. What's wrong? Did I see a ghost today?"
It turned out to be Prime Minister Liu!
Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly took two steps forward, opened a branch of flowers, and looked over there.
"It happened for a reason."
After Jiang Jianzheng finished speaking, he turned around and lifted the curtain to leave. Prime Minister Liu turned his head and looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice.
"Then I won't send you off. We won't meet again."
However.
Just as he raised his eyes, Prime Minister Liu saw Jiang Zhaoying behind the flowers. His expression changed drastically and he walked out quickly.
"Spiritual wisdom?"
Then.
Prime Minister Liu found out that he was wrong again. No matter how young Rong Linghui looked, she shouldn't be a teenager. This... this must be her daughter.
Liu Yanchen and Jiang Zhaoying came out to greet them, and then Jiang Jianzheng took his daughter's hand and strode away.
On the way back.
Jiang Zhaoying has been recalling the scene of her father's previous meeting with Prime Minister Liu. They were obviously very familiar with each other, but over the years she has never discovered that her father and Prime Minister Liu had any dealings.
"Don't think about it anymore."
Jiang Jianzheng sighed and turned to look outside the carriage. Memories rushed over like a long river.
Who could have thought.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"He was the one your mother picked at first."
"ah."
Jiang Zhaoying was startled, as if she had heard something big, with surprise in her eyes.
"It's a pity that the person has evil intentions and is irresponsible."
After lowering the car curtain, Jiang Jianzheng lowered his eyes and slowly told Jiang Zhaoying what happened that year.
That year.
They met Rong Linghui one after another, and later they often got together to play.
Liu Xiangsheng is handsome, gentle and considerate. Unlike him, he is dull and passive. Even if he likes someone, he will just watch silently, so Rong Linghui naturally took a fancy to Liu Xiang.
Once.
Dajue Temple held a temple fair, and Liu Xiang and Rong Linghui agreed to meet there. Jiang Jianzheng was also there, but he just followed them from a distance. Watching them talking and laughing, he felt all the ups and downs in his heart.
However.
What surprised Rong Linghui was that after a young lady from a noble family called out Liu Xiang's name, Liu Xiang subconsciously walked away and kept a distance from Rong Linghui.
Jiang Jian thought Rong Linghui would be angry, but she just smiled and turned away.
later.
No matter how Liu Xiang explained or coaxed her, she never looked at Liu Xiang again.
After seeing Rong Linghui and Jiang Jianzheng getting closer and closer, Prime Minister Liu actually asked Rong Linghui to marry Jiang Jianzheng and pass on the news of the Imperial Observatory to him. In this way, he could make a big splash and rise step by step.
Rong Linghui looked at Liu Xiang's disgusting face, turned around and married Jiang Jianzheng without hesitation, and then went into business.
In just four or five years, Rong Linghui gave birth to a son, her business spread all over the world, and she made a lot of money.
And Jiang Jianzheng.
He also entered the Imperial Observatory, and the family lived a low-key and happy life.
Originally, he thought that the matter was over and no one would offend the other. But who would have thought that after losing Rong Linghui, Liu Xiang started to go crazy. He became more and more unconvinced and unbalanced. He blamed Rong Linghui for being heartless and ungrateful, for abandoning him, and for constantly doing something tricky.
Therefore.
This forced Rong Linghui to leave this world early.
The carriage had already stopped at the gate of the Song Mansion. After Jiang Jianzheng finished speaking, his eyes were already red.
If he were given another choice, he would no longer be willing to keep a low profile. He would fight Liu Xiang at all costs, even if it meant death, as long as he could keep Rong Linghui.
"I never thought that the Jiang and Liu families actually had such a connection. No wonder Fourth Miss Liu dislikes me. I guess she knows about this matter, so she is speaking up for her mother."
No wonder she always felt that the Prime Minister's wife's features looked familiar. She looked a bit like her mother.
so.
Is this also the reason for Liu Yanchen's attitude?
"Master, Ying'er."
Xu Zhiyan's voice sounded outside the carriage, and the curtain was opened. Xu Zhiyan helped her get out of the carriage, and Jiang Zhaoying pointed to the painting in the carriage.
"Look, I took back the twelve paintings from the Wen family."
"really?"
Xu Zhiyan's eyes were filled with joy, and he hurriedly got on the carriage and opened the long box containing the paintings.
When he saw the familiar painting and smelled the familiar fragrance, Xu Zhiyan's heart trembled violently.
This is something from his Wen family, and it is what he thinks about day and night.
Seeing that Second Senior Brother was very happy, Jiang Zhaoying tilted her head and spoke to him softly.
"It's not convenient for me to bring it into the Song Mansion, Second Senior Brother, why don't you send it to your house and keep it for me first."
