The emperor felt that dealing with this matter was more troublesome than listening to the ministers quarreling in the court, so he passed the buck to someone else. "Jiang Hao, what do you think?"
Jiang Hao was suddenly Q'd, and his expression became even more confused. "What do you think?"
Emperor: “Hmm?”
Jiang Hao suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I only have one daughter, Jiang Qiao, in my life. I want her to be happy and free, so I took her to the border. This child never complains about hardship, and she has developed her current personality. I know that since we returned to the capital, Jiang Qiao has been very different from other young ladies from aristocratic families, and she has been ostracized because of this. I feel distressed..."
"So, I've long since decided not to interfere with any of her choices. I haven't interfered since she was a child. I didn't interfere when I proposed that idea at the banquet, and I won't interfere with her marriage either. I just want her to be happy..."
The emperor and Jiang Hao were not much different in age, and they had a close relationship from their youth. He knew how difficult it was for him to say these words. He returned to the main seat and sat down, displaying his royal authority. "Alright, you are all grown up. I don't want to say anything more. You can all go home and decide your own marriages. You can all leave."
Shi Yechen didn't want it to end like this, "Father!"
"Back off!" the emperor said in a louder voice.
Shi Yechen then reluctantly left, and when he left, he looked deeply at Jiang Qiao and Fu Yanci.
Out of the Yangxin Palace.
Jiang Hao felt a little awkward looking at the two people in front of him. He muttered to himself, "Don't mention it, they're quite a good match..."
Jiang Qiao, who was standing in front of him, suddenly grabbed Fu Yanci's sleeve and asked, "Master Imperial Master, you just said you wanted to marry me. Are you afraid that I will really marry someone else, or do you really want to marry me?"
The man's eyes were still misty, and the fragrance of osmanthus had not yet dissipated. "I don't know, but I will never let you down. Are you willing to marry me?"
Fu Yanci truly didn't know what sincerity was. His master hadn't taught him anything; all he could do was divine and wait for the dawn...
Jiang Qiao loosened his sleeves and asked, "When will the Imperial Master come to my house to propose marriage?"
"Tomorrow is a good day..."
——
On the way out of the palace.
Jiang Hao followed Jiang Qiao and asked, "No... have you guys agreed on this?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "What else? We're both unmarried, and I'm not young anymore, so it's time for me to get married. Dad, hurry up and prepare your dowry. Don't be stingy~"
Jiang Hao: ...(/ω\) Family members, who understands~
It was already afternoon when we returned to the general's mansion.
The mansion was quiet but somewhat uneasy. There was not a single servant sweeping the huge courtyard.
Jiang Qiao's eyelids were twitching violently.
"Miss, General, something bad has happened. Jiang Anran's mother seems to have gone crazy. She ran into Madam's yard..." Shi Tou ran over with red eyes and a scratch on his face. No one knew how he got it.
Before Shi Tou could finish his words, Jiang Hao had already rushed out.
Jiang Qiao became even more panicked. A few days ago, she bought some datura and put it in the incense burner in Feng Ruoxi's room. The medicinal effect took effect.
But why would she go to find Ji Muhe...
Jiang Qiao clearly arranged for someone to watch her.
Ji Muhe just got pregnant, she can't get into trouble! If Ji Muhe gets into trouble because of this, Jiang Qiao will never forgive himself...
——
When Jiang Qiao arrived, Feng Ruoxi had already been forced to her knees by two servants.
Feng Ruoxi was wearing very little, and it was obvious that she had suddenly rushed out of the room. The bandage on her head was soaked with blood and even flowed down. A few strands of hair were fluttering in the wind, making her look like a spiritless evil ghost.
Jiang Hao was comforting the frightened Ji Muhe.
Jiang Qiao hurried to check Ji Muhe's pulse. Apart from a slightly rapid heartbeat, there was nothing serious, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Ruoxi laughed sadly, her eyes blurred by blood. "Hahaha, Ji Muhe is dead, she is dead. From now on, I am the general's wife, loved by everyone. She is finally dead..."
"Jiang Zhen is dead too, hahaha. He was still calling my name when he died, so affectionately. It's a pity that he recognized the wrong person. I was the one who poisoned him. Hahaha, Jiang Zhen, you coward, you can't compare to him in anything..."
"Everyone is dead, I'm so happy... Jiang Hao, why don't you look at me? I'm prettier than Ji Muhe, more likable than her... but you just don't like me..."
…
Feng Ruoxi cried and laughed at the same time, spewing out a lot of words at once, which were enough to make the people in the courtyard drop their jaws...
How could there be such a vicious person in the world, someone who killed her husband, lost all sense of propriety and righteousness, and had such a filthy mind...
Ji Muhe didn't want to hear those words, so Jiang Hao asked someone to help her into the house to rest.
Jiang Qiao walked over and disarmed Feng Ruoxi, then sternly ordered, "Everyone, step back! Don't tell anyone what you heard today. If I find out anyone is gossiping, I'll be rude to you. You know the methods of the General's Mansion better than I do!"
All the servants and maids in the yard retreated, with different expressions on their faces.
There were only three people left in the courtyard.
Jiang Hao is a very upright person. Even though Jiang Qiao had told him this before, he still felt helpless.
For so many years, he actually raised such a...
Jiang Qiao saw Jiang Hao's embarrassment and said, "Dad, go comfort Mom. I will take care of the rest."
Jiang Hao nodded. He believed in Jiang Qiao's attitude.
The poison of Datura is strong enough that Feng Ruoxi is still unconscious. She keeps spitting out all the bad things she has done over the years and cursing.
It seemed that saying these words could make her feel a little more relaxed.
Jiang Qiao squatted down and quickly stuffed a pill into her mouth, then looked carefully at Feng Ruoxi's face. There was so much blood.
Feng Ruoxi suddenly felt dizzy. After a while, she seemed to wake up. Her body and throat were in pain. She couldn't open her eyes and didn't know where she was.
