The second master Jiang and his wife led Jiang Qian to the Cixin Hall. The head maid Ah Fu stood at the door and bowed to the three of them: "Second master, second madam, the old lady is tired and has gone to bed."

"Is the old lady going to stop now?" Old Master Jiang Er looked puzzled.

When the couple went to Changxing Marquis' Mansion, the old lady was still in good spirits.

Xiao was used to the tricks used in the rear quarters, and she immediately understood what Old Madam Feng meant: she didn't want to see Qian'er.

"Now that the old lady has rested, we will come back to pay our respects to her later." Xiao quietly pulled Old Master Jiang and returned to Yaxin Garden.

Yaxinyuan didn't look much different from usual, except that the servants subconsciously lightened their steps when they walked, creating a depressing silence.

Jiang Qian burst into tears as soon as she entered the house: "I have brought shame to the Bo family. Grandmother must be angry with me, so she doesn't want to see me——"

Jiang Qian is also very sensitive in this regard.

Elder Jiang Er said impatiently, "What's the point of crying at this time? Your grandmother is just tired, why do you have to say that she doesn't want to see you?"

Jiang Qian's tears fell down. She didn't say anything in reply but she kept sneering in her heart.

When she was in her prime, her grandmother would never act like this every time she went back to her natal family. Now, she was obviously dissatisfied with her and expressed her attitude.

But saying this to my father would only annoy him. Men and women are different after all.

"Qian'er, let me ask you, what are your plans?" Mr. Jiang Er really didn't want to think too much about the competition between women, and put all his thoughts on the current major events.

Jiang Qian stopped crying and bowed her head, saying, "I will listen to my father and mother."

"We want you to break off relations with the Marquis of Changxing. We have already said this in the Marquis' Mansion."

When something like this happens to the man, as the girl's parent, of course you have to express your attitude, but in order to avoid being blamed by your daughter in the future, it is still necessary to ask this question.

"Father, whatever you say, I will listen to you." Jiang Qian said obediently.

"Okay, then I will go to the government to file a complaint. Once I get the letter of divorce, I will ask your mother to go to the Marquis's residence to count the dowry and bring it back. From now on, we will be even with the Marquis's residence." After saying this, Old Master Jiang was unwilling to stay in the room any longer and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Qian then threw herself into Xiao's arms and cried bitterly: "Mother, I am so miserable. What will I do in the future?"

Xiao patted Jiang Qian's back and consoled her, "I'll tell some gossipy maids to spread the news that you were abused by the son of the Marquis of Changxing. Then people will know how you suffered and will only have sympathy for you. After a while, the matter will fade away, and I'll find you a good family."

The people of the Great Zhou were open-minded and quite tolerant of women. It was not uncommon for women who had lost their husbands or were divorced to remarry or even marry for the third time.

Of course, the family of the husband of most women who remarry is often worse than the first time.

Jiang Qian leaned into Xiao's arms and shuddered: "Mom, I want to stay with you forever and don't want to get married again."

If she met a pervert like Cao Xingyu again, she would not be able to stay in the mansion. She just wanted to win her mother's sympathy so that she could live a better life in the mansion.

Mrs. Xiao thought it was normal for her daughter to not want to remarry after encountering such a thing, so she said hurriedly, "Okay, if you don't want to go that far, you can stay with me as long as you want."

Only then did Jiang Qian burst into laughter.

Now the whole capital was watching the murder of the eldest son of Marquis Changxing. The news that the second old master Jiang had gone to the government to demand a righteous death spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys like wings.

"Have you heard that the Dongping Marquis's Mansion is going to break off relations with the Changxing Marquis's Mansion?"

"Yi Jue is good. Those who leave this kind of family early on are serious. I heard that the girl from the Dongping Marquis's mansion was beaten every other day after she got married. It's a pity that such a beautiful girl from a wealthy family has bruises all over her body that never heal..."

"What a sin! If a daughter of any family were to do such a thing, she would be killed. However, they are a wealthy family and are very particular about marriage. It will be difficult for this girl to marry a family of equal status in the future, right?"

"I heard that before the incident, two girls from the Bo's Mansion went to live in Changxing Marquis' Mansion for a while. I don't know if they suffered any loss..."

"Hey, it's hard to say. Who knows?"

…

The rumor reached the Dongping Marquis's residence, and Old Madam Feng was so angry that she trembled. She called Xiao and scolded her.

Xiao could only listen to her daughter, who had married off in glory and honor, suffer misfortune. After returning home, she could not help but complain, "Qian'er, since you knew what kind of character that beast was, why did you still let your sisters live in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Jiang Qian naturally refused to admit that she had plotted against Jiang Si, and said aggrievedly: "My daughter asked her sisters to stay with her for a while to prove that she has face in her mother's family, so that Cao Xingyu would be more cautious--"

Xiao let out a long sigh and felt a splitting headache.

I hope Cang'er won't be affected by Qian'er's incident and delay his studies.

The sixth girl Jiang Pei was also uneasy at this moment.

She lived in the same yard with the fifth girl Jiang Li. After hearing the wind outside, she ran straight into Jiang Li's room.

"Fifth sister, have you heard about what's going on outside?"

"What is it?"

Jiang Pei stamped her feet and said, "Such a big thing happened in Changxing Marquis's Mansion, and you didn't even send a maid to find out what's going on outside?"

Jiang Li pursed her lips and said nothing.

Even if there was any commotion, it was not something a little concubine's daughter like her could handle. Instead of jumping around and causing unnecessary trouble, it would be better for her to stay still.

Jiang Pei was so angry that she started to cry: "Fifth sister, you are such a blockhead! People are saying that we have lived in the mansion for so long, and that our second brother-in-law - bah, that beast took advantage of us! Now we really can't clear ourselves of this even if we jump into the Yellow River."

Jiang Li said slowly: "The capital is so busy, these words will fade away after a few days. When the second sister invited us so warmly, how could we, as the younger sister, refuse?"

Jiang Pei was stunned, and suddenly grabbed Jiang Li's wrist: "Did Second Sister do this on purpose?"

"What on purpose?"

Jiang Pei closed her eyes, countless thoughts racing through her mind, it seemed as if she had never been so clear before.

No wonder the second sister repeatedly invited them to stay at the Marquis' Mansion, and no wonder the second sister's attitude towards the fourth sister was so strange, almost to the point of being completely obedient. It turned out that the answer was very simple: the next target of the Changxing Marquis's son was the fourth sister!

Jiang Pei suddenly opened her eyes.

"Sixth sister, what's wrong?" Jiang Li wondered.

"Nothing, Fifth Sister, I'm going back to the room." Jiang Pei forced a smile and walked back stiffly, feeling as if her legs weighed a thousand pounds.

She understood that Jiang Qian was not innocent at all, but an accomplice!

As Jiang Pei left, the half-bead curtain was still swaying gently, and the collision of pearls and jade made a clear and pleasant sound.

Jiang Li stared at the beaded curtain for a while and let out a soft sigh.

It seems that Sixth Sister has thought of it too.

With someone like that living in the Bo's house in the future, she had to be more alert.

In Shuntian Prefecture, the case of the murder of ten women by the son of the Marquis of Changxing has not been completely resolved. It would take a lot of time to find the victim and there was no rush, so Zhen Shicheng took this opportunity to send someone to inquire about Jiang Si's situation.

I always feel that the little girl who appeared in the garden of Changxing Marquis's Mansion was not a coincidence.
