The death of an unknown prostitute in a brothel was not a big deal.
But early the next morning, an actor named Jiang Dashan sang all the way to seek justice for his sister. He walked through the bustling street and gathered a crowd of onlookers along the way.
Finally, the alarm drum was struck outside the gate of Shuntian Prefecture.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture did not take it seriously at first, thinking it was a small case. He did not expect that the Marquis of Jing'en and his son were involved in it.
Jiang Dashan said that he and his sister lost both their parents when they were young. Fortunately, they were taken in by a drama troupe and have been singing for a living. Although their life is poor, they live a happy life.
But a while ago, Marquis Jing'en took a fancy to my sister. My sister didn't want to enter Marquis Jing'en's mansion, so Marquis Jing'en often came to harass my sister. The neighbors around could all testify that my sister had never accepted the things he gave her, and never agreed to anything he gave her.
Later, Marquis Jing'en forced my sister and said that he would take her into the palace as a concubine in three days.
Along with the wedding dress, there was also a letter of acceptance as a concubine, and her household registration was also moved to the Mansion of Marquis Jing'en.
If my sister doesn't marry him, she will be considered a runaway concubine, and that will be up to Marquis Sui Jing'en to decide how to deal with her.
This is clearly a rape of a woman, but our lives are worthless and we can only be slaughtered.
My sister really didn't want to, so she thought about entering a brothel as a prostitute. Marquis Jing'en would never take a brothel girl as a concubine. Unexpectedly, on the first day of her career as a prostitute, she met Marquis Jing'en's son Jing Shengwen, who forced his hand on my sister.
Although my sister is an actress, she was educated by her father, a scholar, since she was a child, and she understands etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame.
Yesterday, after Marquis Jing'en met with my sister alone, I received the news that my sister had committed suicide. It was Marquis Jing'en and his son who killed my sister.
After Jiang Dashan finished speaking, the people were in an uproar, and they all felt indignant for Jiang Jiaoniang.
The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was very troubled, and he sent someone to go to the Marquis of Jing'en's mansion to report the matter.
Marquis Jing'en was drunk, and the wild rose-like woman who had touched his heart again after many years was gone.
The wild flowers that we don’t get are often the ones we miss the most.
He heard Ran coming with a group of people. He was about to scold Ran, but when he looked closely, he saw that the group of people behind Ran were from the Shuntian Prefecture government office.
He stood up unsteadily and wanted to ask something.
Only after Ran gave the silver did the government office reveal some information. Marquis Jing'en was furious, thinking that Jiang Dashan was trying to harm him.
He drank the sobering soup, washed up, and appeared in Shuntian Mansion an hour later.
During this hour, more and more people gathered at the door to watch the excitement. Danruo sat in an inconspicuous place, wearing a hat, and her maidservant protected her well.
After such a long period of preparation, the drama can finally come to an end today.
The eldest son of the Yongchang Earl asked all the servants in the mansion to spread the news throughout the city, making a huge splash.
It was useless for Marquis Jing'en to arrive at the scene. Although he refused to admit anything, Jiang Jiaoniang's household registration was indeed handled by the servants of the Marquis's mansion to the government. He wanted to put the blame on Ran's taking a concubine for him, and he was completely unaware of it.
But the neighbors near the Jiang family pointed out that they often saw him appear at the door of the Jiang family.
He secretly winked at the Shuntian prefect, but the Shuntian prefect was completely unmoved. Since the matter had become so serious, he would not get involved. He had already written a memorial to report to the emperor.
At the moment of stalemate, the imperial edict arrived.
The emperor severely reprimanded Marquis Jing'en and then abolished his title, which was immediately passed on to the crown prince, and he was suspended from office for three years.
Marquis Jing'en knelt on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. How could this happen?
He was the first person whose title was taken away by the emperor and passed on to his son before he died.
The people cheered loudly, shouting "Long live the emperor."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Dan Ruo personally went outside the city to see Jiang Dashan and his sister off.
She met these two by chance and rescued them. It was also Danruo's idea that Jiang Jiaoniang's fake death was concealed from everyone. Now they have a large sum of money, enough to settle down in the south and live a wealthy life.
Jing Ruchen became the new Marquis of Jing'en, and Dan Ruo naturally became the Marquis's wife. Ran was the old lady. The former Marquis of Jing'en felt that he had lost face in the capital, so he returned to his hometown in the countryside to live in seclusion.
Although Jing Shengwen did not lose his job, his reputation was too bad, which meant he was sitting on the bench. Going on duty every day was like going to a grave, but he still needed to grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise he might never have this opportunity again.
Danruo was already three months pregnant. She had originally planned to go to the countryside with Duke Ying to bring back the original owner's mother after the fetus was stable. However, Danruo's belly was a little big, so Jing Ruchen asked the imperial physician to see her.
The imperial physician said that the Marquis' wife might have more than one baby, but we'll have to wait until she's older to see how many there are.
Everyone's heart was in their throat again. They didn't dare to take her far away. There was no rush to go to the Huang family in the countryside. It would be better to wait until she gave birth successfully before going back. Especially if Dan's mother died of dystocia, the Yingguo Mansion would be even more worried.
Although I can't go to the Huang family to take revenge in person now, I can still give a greeting to the local county magistrate and collect some interest first.
Although the servants in the Marquis' Mansion were screened by Ran herself, it is difficult to know a person's heart even if you only know his appearance.
The maids were surprised that Jing Ruchen was a marquis at such a young age, and was very considerate to his wife.
Now that the Madam is pregnant and cannot serve the Marquis, they think this is an opportunity. Otherwise, after the Madam gives birth, with the Marquis's deep affection for her, these delicate girls will have no chance.
But now the Marquis and his wife live and eat together, and even the office has been moved to his wife's room, so it is difficult for them to find opportunities.
Yinghong planned to start with Ran. She bribed the nanny serving Ran, hoping that the nanny could mention this matter to Ran and then recommend her to serve the Marquis.
After Ran found out, she sold Yinghong out directly. She was also a woman. When she was pregnant with Ruchen, Aunt Sun intervened and made her depressed for many years.
How could she let her daughter-in-law suffer the same pain she had suffered?
Unless her son brought it up on his own initiative, she would not argue with him about taking a concubine.
Even though Yinghong was included in the mix, it did not quell the maid's restless heart.
Until Jing Ruchen got off duty, he found women's handkerchiefs and sachets on the road from the mansion gate to the courtyard gate. Jing Ruchen called the housekeeper and asked him to punish severely.
When turning a corner, Jing Ruchen heard a woman's breathing. He pushed the housekeeper in front of him, and sure enough, a heavily made-up maid fell straight on the housekeeper.
The maid screamed in surprise, and the butler pushed her away in disgust. He had a tigress at home, and he didn't want to be bothered by this maid.
Jing Ruchen didn't even look at the carefully dressed maids, and scolded the housekeeper in a low voice, telling him to step down as soon as possible if he couldn't manage these maids.
The housekeeper was so upset that he had no tears left, so he hurried to discuss the matter with Ran.
Ran caught these typical examples, beat them with sticks one by one and sold them, and asked the maids to report on each other. Those maids who reported those with ulterior motives were sent to work on the farm.
When Dan Ruo heard the news, she glared at Jing Ruchen, wondering how he could be so ostentatious and attract so many maids.
Jing Ruchen understood that his wife was jealous. Although he was secretly happy, he must be more strict with himself in the future and not give other women any chance.
What if the lady gets angry and doesn’t want him anymore?
