Chapter 181
Didn't wait for him
Anyway, she has a lot of money on her, so she can still live a prosperous life after leaving the capital.
You can even have one or two husbands, have two more children, and start over again.
She didn't want to get involved in the mess here anymore.
Thinking so.
Rong Lingzhu took off the hairpin on her head and ran with big strides while lifting her skirt.
Seeing Rong Lingzhu running away in panic, fearing that she would be implicated, Mrs. Rong was so angry that she rushed to the door and pointed at her back and started scolding her.
"You shameless bastard, I know you have bad intentions. In order to hold back our Rong family, you pushed us all into the trap. You want to destroy our Rong Mansion and kill everyone in our Rong Mansion. No matter what, the Rong Mansion has raised you and given you a new life, but you don't think about repaying the kindness and are harming us like this."
At this time, Master Rong gradually began to realize that something was wrong. He looked at Jiang Zhaoying in horror and ran to sit down beside her.
"Zhaoying, uncle is shamelessly begging you, what should we do about this matter?"
Seeing that Jiang Zhaoying didn't answer, Master Rong held on to the chair and was about to kneel down. Seeing this, Nanny Li hurried forward to stop him.
"Uncle, this is unacceptable. Although my daughter now holds an official position and can receive your respects, you are still the elder. Please do not embarrass my daughter."
If any other servant said this, Master Rong would have slapped him, but he didn't dare to do that to Matron Li. He could only speak to her with an embarrassed and bitter face.
"Madame Li, this matter involves a lot of people and has serious consequences, but this matter is really a conspiracy by Rong Lingzhu and Princess Danyang. We...we were a little greedy, but we have paid the price over the years."
"Uncle, there is no solution to this problem."
There was no trace of pity in Nanny Li's eyes, and her attitude did not soften at all. No matter whether it was the Yue family or the children of the former princess, they would not let the Rong family go. Prime Minister Yue was not a man who would bring bad luck to his wife, nor did he have the appearance of a man who would be alone.
on the contrary.
Judging from his bone structure, he not only has a wife and children, but also many children.
Seeing that Jiang Zhaoying really refused to help, Old Madam Rong was filled with grief and anger, and was overwhelmed with embarrassment. She had even lowered her face to come to them and beg them, but they did not consider her a family member at all.
ungrateful!
Each one is more ungrateful than the other!
Looking coldly at Jiang Zhaoying, Mrs. Rong's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Jiang Zhaoying, I am really disappointed in you. No matter what, we are still your closest relatives."
Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Even if there is something dirty, you can swallow it yourself, right?
"Walk."
Old Madam Rong stomped her cane on the ground, turned around and left. Madam Rong hurriedly chased after her. Master Rong looked at Jiang Zhaoying expectantly, but seeing that she was not relenting, he slapped his hands heavily on his legs, sighed in annoyance, and could only walk away quickly.
Sitting in the carriage.
Master Rong felt a headache. If he didn't know that the other party was Prime Minister Yue, he would have felt better. But now that he knew, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, with cold sweats all over his forehead.
"My husband, we have all heard of Prime Minister Yue's methods. He must have investigated this matter a long time ago. He may even know that it was Princess Danyang who ordered us to do this."
Master Rong frowned coldly, sighed, and became more and more irritated.
Prime Minister Yue is really patient. Not a single rumor leaked out for all these years. There is solid evidence about the deaths of his young descendants, and there is no trace of any accidents.
"Husband."
Mrs. Rong suddenly grabbed Master Rong's hand.
"Our son is also very talented. If we follow their methods, our son might be the next one. You have to think of a solution."
"What can I think of? Can I ask my mother to go and admit her fault to Prime Minister Yue?"
Once they admit their mistakes, the matter will be clear and they will admit that they did it. But even so, Prime Minister Yue may not forgive them.
"Admitting my mistake probably won't work. After all, someone else's mother died unjustly. She shouldn't have died in the first place."
Mrs. Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and she held Master Rong's hand tightly and continued speaking.
"I'm also afraid that something will happen to our son. Although we have a few illegitimate children, they are not as good as legitimate sons. Sons are like the rising sun, but the old man is already old. It's only a matter of time before he leaves. I can't do anything about it, husband. You can't gamble with the lives of the whole family."
"You mean..."
Master Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at his wife in shock. Mrs. Rong's eyes filled with tears and she quickly shook her head.
"I... I'm not asking mother to go. I'll go. I'll go to the Yue Mansion to admit my mistakes. I'll die in the Yue Mansion. As long as I can appease even a little bit of Prime Minister Yue's anger, it will be worth it. But my husband, you must train our children well and let them succeed. Our Rong Mansion has been suppressed for too many years."
Master Rong was immediately moved when he heard this. He hugged his wife in his arms and couldn't help feeling sad.
Madam Rong's eyes were gloomy. She had no intention of dying. It was the old lady who should die, not her. What happened back then had nothing to do with her.
"My husband, you are not young anymore. You must take good care of yourself and stop fooling around."
"Look at what you said."
Master Rong also knew that he had relied on his wife for all these years. If she really died, wouldn’t he be left without someone caring and taking care of him?
"Mother should have left a lot of good things. As long as you are thick-skinned and ask her for them, I believe she will give them to you."
Madam Rong persuaded him silently, and Master Rong listened and nodded. It was true, his mother had hidden a lot of things secretly, but she never took them out and kept them tightly. No one knew why she was hiding them at such an old age.
Think of it this way.
Master Rong patted his wife on the back.
"Ma'am, maybe there is a better way?"
"What else can we do?"
Mrs. Rong felt happy all of a sudden, but her tears shed even more. She hugged the master tightly, looking reluctant to leave.
"There is a way. Don't worry, leave it to me. Don't run around or go to Yue Mansion."
"good."
After he responded softly, the couple suddenly felt a sense of mutual appreciation and cherishment. Mrs. Rong felt her husband's dependence on and need for her, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
These years.
She had been secretly planning to gain control of the household and get what was in the old lady's hands, but the old lady was holding on to everything.
now.
If she could die in front of Yue Xiang, appease Yue Xiang's anger, and then dig out those things of hers, it would be a good deed.
Behind the carriage.
After listening to their conversation, Ziying's figure flashed and then left and quickly returned to Jiang Zhaoying's courtyard.
After hearing his words, Jiang Zhaoying, who was sitting by the window fiddling with flowers and plants and feeding Abao meat strips, did not speak for a long time.
Nanny Li came over with hot tea and snacks, gently stroking her head, and Jiang Zhaoying nestled in her arms.
"Mammy, people are like this, they are very good at adding and subtracting."
"Not everyone is like this, at least not in our Jiang Mansion."
Nanny Li knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so she held her tightly in her arms.
"I am different. I always put my lady first, even if it means sacrificing my life."
Jiang Zhaoying listened and pursed her lips slightly, rubbing her forehead against her arms.
"I know Mammy is best."
"Miss, are you going to take care of Madam Rong?"
If she does nothing, Master and Madam Rong will definitely frame her and make her apologize for what happened that year.
"Whatever."
His eyes were full of helplessness and he shook his head slightly.
"My grandmother may have seen through Rong Lingzhu's plot. She just wanted to enter the temple and make friends with dignitaries. She thought it was a good gamble. After this incident, my other two aunts married well. It's just that my uncles were not very outstanding, so they didn't marry prominent ladies."
"She has been relying on luck all these years, and now she is being plotted against by her own son and daughter-in-law. This can be considered a lesson for her."
"Ziying, go back to the Crown Prince's Mansion and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter. Ask him to send someone to Nan Cangzhou to check on this Princess Danyang and where the former princess's children have gone. My calculations show that they are both still alive."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Ziying took the order, then turned around and strode out to make the arrangements.
As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I met Shu Yun walking towards me in new clothes.
“Is this new?”
Ziying now particularly likes to wear brocade robes. Everything produced by the Jiang family is of high quality. Even the most ordinary cotton cloth is much softer than that of other brands. I don’t know what kind of technology the lady used back then, but it is really comfortable.
"Well, you have a set of the new tricks that came out a few days ago, which you can put in your room."
"Thank you very much."
Ziying looked at Shuyun and smiled slightly, and Shuyun nodded.
"Are you going out?"
"kindness."
Afterwards, the two of them turned around and walked in their own directions. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Ziying turned around and saw Shuyun's back slowly walking into the wing room. He scratched his head. Ziying always felt that when he was talking to Shuyun just now, his heart inexplicably beat faster, and he always felt that Shuyun was particularly beautiful and gentle.
Is this the legendary love?
Patting his face, Ziying felt that he was overthinking. It might be because he didn't usually interact with female relatives, so now that he was in the open, he felt a little uncomfortable and nervous.
Walking quickly on the street, Ziying, who usually looked straight ahead, inexplicably stopped when he heard the hawking sounds.
"Master, come and have a look. These are all made by me. They are so exquisite."
The old man took out the pure silver bead flowers he had carefully made and pointed at the large pearls on them.
"This is a huge pearl that my son found in the sea. It is rare to see such a large pearl."
It is really a very nice piece of jewelry, and it is full of thoughtfulness.
Ziying took a golden bean and handed it to the old lady, then picked out a few things.
"Oh, I don't have any change, otherwise I'll give you all these jewelry?"
"No need to look for it, and you don't need that many. Just a few will do."
Ziying picked out a few things, wrapped them up and put them in her arms, then walked happily towards the Prince's Mansion.
Behind him.
Two figures were following silently. Ziying frowned slightly and then quickened his pace.
Pop.
When the thing fell to the ground, Shu Yun was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhaoying heard the sound and turned to look at Shu Yun, who shook his head.
"I'm fine, young lady. I don't know what happened. I just shook the thing in the god's hand and it fell."
"Could it be that you have some hidden thoughts because you saw how handsome Ziying is?"
Shu Yu stepped forward and looked at her with a smile. Shu Yun felt a little embarrassed and turned away hastily, but her ears turned red as expected.
Shu Yu noticed her abnormality and hurriedly expressed his surprise to the young lady.
"Miss, Shu Yun is blushing. She must like Zi Ying."
"It's okay if you like her. As long as His Royal Highness agrees, you can get together anytime. If you think there are no problems in all aspects, you can get married."
Anyway, Ziying has no father or mother, and will make Jiang Mansion her home in the future. Wherever she goes, Ziying will go there, and there is no need to worry about being separated from Shuyun and the others.
It would be great if that were possible.
"Shuyun, have you told Ziying about this? Has he told you?"
"No." Shu Yun was embarrassed, but she was also generous and walked to Jiang Zhaoying's side. "When he returns home, I will find time to talk to him. If he thinks it's okay, I will be interested. If he doesn't accept it, then I will give up. Miss, what do you think?"
"It's up to you. You can marry whoever you like. I have no objection. I have prepared your dowries. Anyway, you won't have to worry about food and clothing in this life."
Shu Yun and Shu Yu were delighted when they heard this, and then they both surrounded Nanny Li and spoke.
"You can get married, but we have to promise that we will never leave the young lady and the nanny for the rest of our lives."
"Okay, okay, I won't leave you. You still have to provide for Madam in her old age."
"right."
When talking about this, everyone's mood became better. The wind slowly blew in from the yard, lifting up Jiang Zhaoying's long hair. She looked up at the sky.
"We may have to go to Langzhou in a few days. Mammy, you have to keep an eye on the mansion. Rong Mansion may not be so easy to keep quiet."
"Is it so far to Langzhou?"
Nanny Li suddenly became a little worried, and Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"I think Second Senior Brother has already submitted a report saying that there are unusual celestial phenomena in Langzhou, so I have to go there with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There is a dragon vein over there and it is injured, so I have to go over there to repair it."
"Miss, will you take the servants with you?"
Shu Yun asked hurriedly and Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
"You and Ziying can follow. Shuyu, Feicui, and Sinan will stay at home. The mansion also needs to be looked after."
"Then you must be careful, young lady."
Shu Yu also knew that the capital would not be peaceful recently, so he did not make any noise. It was better for him to stay in the mansion and let the young lady feel at ease.
"I know."
Then.
Yang Pianpian's maid came over and asked them to look at the menu and prepare the meal. Jiang Zhaoying ordered two of her favorite dishes, and everyone waited for Ziying to come back.
However.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Ziying did not show up, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did.
