Chapter 98
suspicion
"good."
Xu Zhiyan felt a sore nose and uncontrollable tears welling up as he listened to Jiang Zhaoying's explanation.
Every year, every month, every day.
He dreamed of seeing his family again and finding the Wen family's belongings, even if it was just a complete stone.
Those people are so vicious!
Not only did they dig deep into the ground to search the Wen family's property, they also destroyed and burned all the things that could not be taken away.
Nobody knows.
When he was finally able to walk, he stumbled into the Wen Mansion and saw the devastation in the mansion. He was so terrified and in pain.
He rushed into his mother's yard like a madman, thinking that it would be helpful if he could find even a handkerchief or a hairpin that his mother had worn.
But no, nothing!
Kneeling in the charred darkness, he cried his heart out, and finally a loud thunder woke him up.
then.
He scooped up a handful of the dark dust and put it into his bag, then walked away, looking back every few steps.
Until now.
He never went to the Wen Mansion again, but the black soil was always on his body.
Now that Ying'er has helped him get the twelve paintings back, he is extremely grateful!
"Zhaoying, don't worry about what happened today. Jiang Fuqin, your father will handle it."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying responded indifferently, bowed to Jiang Jianzheng, and then looked at Xu Zhiyan.
"Second Brother, I'm going back home first. I'll leave these things to you."
Jiang Jian was watching his daughter being so friendly to Xu Zhiyan but so indifferent to him, and he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
About Jiang Fuqin.
He did hide something from Zhaoying, but the matter was too complicated and he needed time to explain it properly.
I was just about to tell her to be careful.
The door of the Song Mansion was wide open.
Su Momo and Zi Su came out together. Jiang Zhaoying smiled at them. Jiang Jianzheng looked at them and knew that they were in the same group. They had helpers around them. With Nanny Li there too, he felt more at ease. So he swallowed his words and left first.
Watching her father's carriage going away, Jiang Zhaoying stood there in a daze, facing the cool breeze, and it was after a while that she turned around and went back home.
After chatting with Su Momo and Zi Su for half an hour, Jiang Zhaoying washed up and just changed her clothes when she received a letter.
It was written by Jiang Zhiyu.
It says above.
Thanks to Jiang Zhaoying's reminder, he asked Yang Pianpian to take Princess Tingyun away immediately.
He waited there, and soon saw two maids coming over to ask about Princess Yun's whereabouts, saying that Miss Liu Wu asked her to go to Fufeng Courtyard to have a chat.
But Jiang Zhiyu had just seen clearly that Miss Liu Wu was chatting and laughing with the princesses and had not mentioned Tingyun at all.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, he deliberately avoided the crowd and sneaked into Fufengyuan, checking each room one by one. Finally, in the innermost room, he saw an official drinking tea and waiting for someone.
The reason why we are sure that he is waiting for someone is because he keeps looking at the copper leak!
Jiang Zhiyu hid outside the window.
Not long.
A servant went in to report that there was always someone beside Princess Tingyun and they had no chance at all. The gentleman did not say anything but smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.
then.
He grabbed the two maids who came to report and threw them on the bed. Soon the maids' crying could be heard.
Jiang Zhiyu was stunned by the scene before him.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
He really couldn't believe that people in this world could be so despicable. In the letter, he thanked Jiang Zhaoying for her reminder, otherwise Tingyun would definitely die in Prime Minister Liu's mansion.
now.
He had already sent Tingyun to the Prince's Mansion, reported the matter to His Highness, and asked His Highness to help Tingyun.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to his marriage with Tingyun, and Tingyun would marry out of the Crown Prince's Mansion.
and.
Princess Tingyun will never return to the palace.
This is to protect Princess Tingyun until she gets married.
Jiang Zhaoying breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter. This was even better. Tingyun would no longer be manipulated by her mother, and there would be no more problems.
maybe.
The idea of giving Princess Tingyun to that official was discussed by Prime Minister Liu and Concubine Quan.
"Pick some things that are necessary for food, clothing, shelter and transportation and send them to the princess. There are no female relatives in the prince's mansion, and Your Highness may not be so attentive."
"yes."
Shu Yun turned around and went out to prepare. Half an hour later, he delivered a cart of things to the Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Zhaoying took the hot soup brought by Shu Yu and drank it while talking to Nanny Li.
"Mammy, I have something to ask you."
Nanny Li's brows slightly tightened. Ever since the young lady went to Liu Mansion, she guessed that the young lady would know something, and she also knew that the young lady would definitely ask her.
Sighed.
Nanny Li walked over to the seat opposite her, sat down and sighed.
"The young lady did know Prime Minister Liu back then, and they had a very good relationship at first, and they even discussed marriage. But who would have thought that when a young lady with a better family background appeared and danger arose, Prime Minister Liu would abandon her immediately."
A sarcastic sneer appeared on Jiang Zhaoying's lips. Although Nanny Li spoke very calmly, Jiang Zhaoying could imagine that her mother's love must be very sensational.
"Is mother sad?"
Nanny Li raised her hand and gently stroked her head.
"She must be sad, but she never showed it in front of me. I hoped she would cry, but she turned around and married my father."
"My mother is a very free and easy person."
Just as it is written in the notes, if you are compatible, then stay together, if not, then break up. The biggest taboo for women is to be in love. There are thousands of men in the world, and there is always one who is suitable for you and who understands you. Why bother yourself for a man with two legs? That is the most unacceptable thing.
"But that Prime Minister Liu is very despicable."
Nanny Li's tone suddenly became high, and she gritted her teeth with endless hatred.
"He saw your mother marry someone else, and not only did he marry that lady from a good family, he also frequently came to see the lady, hoping to rekindle the old love, and even wanted to control the master through her, saying that if the lady still loved him, she would help him get to a high position, and that as long as the lady divorced, he would definitely accept the lady."
"Didn't his mother slap him?"
"Of course I will give it to you."
Thinking of that heavy slap that made Liu Xiang's mouth bleed, she felt pleased.
"Later, your mother started doing business and often traveled far away. The bigger her business was, the more money she made, and the more dignitaries she met. Later, Prime Minister Liu didn't dare to touch your mother. In order to climb to the position of prime minister, he did not hesitate to massacre the entire family of the Wen family and deem the Wen family a criminal. This Prime Minister Liu is really a piece of shit."
"Speaking of which, the Liu and Wen families were in-laws back then, and he used the guise of being in-laws to murder the Wen family. Alas, that young lady was also a fool, actually helping her husband's family to harm her own clansmen. Oh, that is the Fourth Madam Liu, but the Fourth Madam Liu seems to have fallen out of favor a long time ago, and now the fourth room's favored one is a concubine."
No wonder.
Just take Madam Liu Si, for example, she is so young and beautiful.
"Is she dead?"
"I haven't heard about it, but her life must be hard. I guess her children are not doing well either."
There was a hint of deep hostility in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes. If a married woman did not have any strength or was weak-willed, she would be easily exploited by her husband's family. In the end, she would be despised by both sides and end up being nothing.
"Did Liu Xiang see you, Miss?"
“Yes.”
Nanny Li was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly held Jiang Zhaoying's hand tightly.
"After that man found out that the young lady was getting married, he became obsessed and crazy. He was unscrupulous and shameless. Young lady, you have to be careful."
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying frowned when she listened. When Liu Xiang saw her, the look in his eyes at that moment was indeed one of shock mixed with a hint of ecstasy and madness.
and.
Liu Yanchen's attitude towards her was also very strange. They had no intersection at all, and this was even the first time they met. Moreover, she had heard that Liu Yanchen was very cruel, but in her eyes, he seemed very gentle.
How strange.
But Jiang Zhaoying didn't know that outside the Song Mansion, a carriage was parked on the street with the curtain open, and the stunningly handsome man was looking coldly at the gate of the Song Mansion.
"Second Young Master."
Liu Yanchen's close subordinate Bai Cheng flew out of the Song Mansion with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
"The Kongliu Cottage is guarded by someone, and I was almost discovered."
Liu Yanchen heard the phoenix eyes move slightly, but she did not react too much. It was normal for her to have one or two subordinates protecting her. Otherwise, how could a little girl like her protect herself?
"Second Young Master, why did you arrange for Miss Jiang to marry into the Song family?"
Speaking of this matter, Liu Yanchen's handsome face turned gloomy. With a mocking smile, he picked up the hot tea and drank it slowly.
In this world.
There are always things you have to do, things you can't control, and things you want to do but can't do.
He threw the bait to Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Song, and the two of them planned carefully and arranged the marriage in less than a month.
But they didn't know that Liu Yanchen had no intention of letting Jiang Zhaoying and Song Chengyu consummate their marriage from the beginning, and he was the one who had someone sell the fake death drug to Song Chengyu.
Only by putting Jiang Zhaoying in a relatively safe place can her innocence be preserved, but no one expected that subsequent events would develop like that. Madam Song would actually ask the emperor to order that Song Chengyu and Jiang Zhaoying would not be allowed to divorce.
at this point.
It gave him a headache for quite a while.
"Master."
Liu Yanchen's eyes were gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.
"Should we kill Song Chengyu?"
Liu Yanchen shook his head.
"It's not nice to be a widow. Besides, with Jiang Zhaoying's personality, she might have to do it herself. Let's wait until the envoys from the Chiyan Kingdom come."
"Okay, I feel much more relieved now that she has someone to protect her. Let's go first."
Jiang Zhaoying already suspected him. If he acted rashly again, this little girl would definitely find out.
The carriage slowly moved away.
In the shadow.
Ziying also turned around and went back to Jiang Zhaoying's yard and entered the side room. Shu Yun was serving Jiang Zhaoying soup. When she saw him come in, Jiang Zhaoying said.
"That's for you. The weather is getting colder. You don't have to stay on the roof all the time."
"yes."
Ziying stepped forward and bowed, then took the bowl and started to eat slowly and politely. Only after she had finished did she say goodbye to Jiang Zhaoying.
"I saw the carriage of Prime Minister Liu's residence outside. It was the Second Young Master Liu."
"What is he doing here?"
There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes.
"Do you still want to take the twelve paintings back?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoying hurriedly found paper and pen and wrote a letter and asked Ziying to deliver it to Xu Zhiyan, asking him to keep a close eye on the painting.
Also find out who the official is who wants to hear from Princess Yun.
When Ziying came back, she brought the portrait of the official. After careful comparison, Jiang Zhaoying found that the official was actually Lord Quan, the Governor of Tongzhou.
A third-rank official.
He was in charge of Tongzhou's civil affairs, finance, land, household registration, money and grain, official assessment, and communication between the governor and the prefectures and counties.
"Why on earth is this happening?"
Ziying frowned. He had already reported the matter to the Prince's Mansion before returning.
Prime Minister Liu wants to give Princess Tingyun to the Governor Quan, and he is the Governor of Tongzhou. The palace has not summoned him back to the capital. What is the reason for this?
Why did Liu Yanchen appear outside the Song Mansion?
This Liu Mansion really has a lot of hidden things worth exploring.
"Purple Shadow."
"I am here."
Jiang Zhaoying leaned back, hugged Abao and stroked its head, thinking carefully, and then spoke slowly.
"If I have the chance in the future, I will overturn the case for the Wen family."
Ziying's face changed drastically. To overturn the case for the Wen family meant to destroy Prime Minister Liu's Mansion. After all, in the case of the Wen family being raided, the evidence of the Wen family's crimes was handed to the emperor by Prime Minister Liu himself, and Prime Minister Liu's Mansion was the main force.
"Miss, do you want all the case files from the Wen family case?"
Jiang Zhaoying was very satisfied with Ziying's cleverness. She looked at Ziying and smiled. Ziying felt his scalp tingling and bowed.
"Okay, I'll go to the Prince's Mansion."
Jiang Zhaoying looked out the window and shook her head.
"I'll go with you tomorrow morning. I think it's better to talk to you in person."
Then.
The maids waited for Jiang Zhaoying and Abao to go to bed, but just as they lay down, they heard noisy and screaming sounds from afar. Jiang Zhaoying sat up, and Nanny Li said.
"Madam Shen is making a lot of noise, and Madam Song is in a state of panic now. She just had Madam Shen locked up in the woodshed. Now Madam Su and Zi Su are waiting for Madam Song to rest. She will not come to bother you tonight."
Jiang Zhaoying smiled slightly, turned over and went to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Zhaoying went out and went to the Prince's Mansion with Ziyin.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to court and has not returned yet. When Princess Tingyun heard that Jiang Zhaoying had arrived, she hurried over to greet her. Jiang Zhaoying looked at the smile in her eyes and saw that she walked with the wind, with her eyes and eyebrows curved.
"Why are you here?"
Princess Tingyun's tone was gentle and her eyes were full of happiness. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with her future arrangements.
"Princess."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at Princess Tingyun, who looked so lively as if she had been reborn, and was happy from the bottom of her heart. She stood up and hugged her tightly.
If she hadn't become suspicious, she would have asked her brother to keep an eye on her and never take his eyes off her.
Saw it today.
It is very likely that it is the body of Princess Tingyun, or there may be news from the palace that someone is seeking to marry Princess Tingyun.
"I'm sorry, Zhaoying."
Princess Tingyun was startled. It was the first time for her to be hugged so tightly by someone, and her eyes suddenly became red.
"I used to think you were a very bad sister. You were not nice to your brother, so I hated you for a while."
But after calming down, she realized that she had no right to hate anyone, and she should live and speak carefully.
yesterday.
She, Yang Pianpian and Jiang Zhiyu chatted for a long time.
I really didn't expect that.
Yang Pianpian was such a generous and beautiful woman. Everything she said made sense and was right. She couldn't help but accept it.
so.
She said she didn't want a co-wife, just a concubine, as long as she could live happily with them.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already promised him that he would visit Concubine Quan and arrange her marriage.
"I didn't sleep all night last night. I just felt like this wasn't real."
Tingyun took Jiang Zhaoying's hand and sat down together, and asked Jiang Zhaoying with red eyes.
"Am I really going to get married? Am I going to marry Jiang Zhiyu?"
Jiang Zhaoying looked at her cautious look, as she repeatedly confirmed things. She took off the bracelet on her hand with a distressed look and said with a smile.
"This is what my mother left behind. There are seven of them in total, all identical. I'll leave this one to you."
"Then I won't refuse this."
Originally, I felt embarrassed to accept more since I had received so much help from them. However, this was something left by my mother-in-law, and from what Zhaoying said, every daughter-in-law must have it.
Looking at the beautiful bracelet on her wrist, Tingyun smiled happily even though there were tears in her eyes.
"I don't know if the Crown Prince can convince my mother."
Even though everything is ready, if her mother disagrees and makes a fuss, she still won't be able to get married.
Tingyun didn't sleep the whole night, half because of happiness and half because of worry. This feeling was really torturous.
"Don't worry, since His Highness has agreed, it must be possible."
Jiang Zhaoying whispered to encourage Princess Tingyun, and Princess Tingyun nodded heavily, her eyes full of hope for her future life.
"Zhaoying, when I enter the Jiang Mansion, I want to live a good life, not competing for favors, not fighting. When I give birth to a child, I swear that I will love her well, treat her well, and love them well."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at the hope in her eyes and held her hand tightly.
"So why don't you accept a co-wife? Wouldn't it be better for your children?"
But Princess Tingyun curved her eyebrows and smiled with a little pride.
"I have discussed this with Miss Yang. When the time comes, the children will be adopted by her, but I will still raise my own children. This will solve the identity issues of the children. Zhaoying, do you think this is a good way for me to handle this?"
