Chapter 350 Returning Home to Visit Relatives

"You..."

Mrs. Su wanted to say something, but was pushed out of the room by Su Ruyue: "Mother, my brother is on Sister Yunxia's side. No matter how much you ask, he won't tell you. It will also affect the relationship between you and your second brother. Why bother?"

"Since he met that unlucky person in the Jiang family, he has never had a smooth day. What's wrong with me disagreeing?"

Mrs. Su stood at the door and shouted: "Your second brother used to listen to me the most, but now he has changed. For a woman, he doesn't tell the truth. Do you really think I don't know that they eloped? I don't expose it to save their face."

"Mother..."

Su Ruyue took her hand and walked away before saying, "Isn't this exactly what we want? Don't be angry with second brother."

Fourth Miss Pei has always regarded the Jiang family as a thorn in her side. As long as Jiang Yunxia enters the Su family, she will not have a good life.

So what if the second brother likes her?

A man's world is in the court, outside, and the secrets in the backyard, he, as a man, does not understand.

Humph!

The eldest and second brothers have loved her since she was a child. After the eldest brother got married, he also put her first, and the eldest sister-in-law had to stand aside. Jiang Yunxia has not even married yet, but she has snatched away her favorite second brother. She will never allow such a woman to control the second brother.

"Yes, we have to come up with the rules quickly."

Madam Su's eyes were clearly filled with gloom: "The Empress Dowager has passed away, and we are not allowed to get married within three months. The Pei family has already exchanged engagement letters with us, and Secretary Pei has asked Qin Tianjian to calculate that the fifteenth of four months later is an auspicious time. We will get married then, and there is still plenty of time. Four months... Jiang Yunxia will become a rat crossing the street..."

She smiled grimly: "This concubine, she has to do it whether she wants to or not."

Afterwards, she arranged for people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the reason Jiang Yunxia did not attend the New Year's banquet was because she found the Su family that night and begged Su Erlang to elope with her.

Su Erlang was soft-hearted. The girl cried in front of him, and she was engaged to him. He was so hot-headed that he really eloped with Jiang Yunxia, ​​taking Xiruan with him.

However, they were unlucky. They met villains when they left the city. Those villains not only robbed Su Erlang's property, but also wanted to humiliate Jiang Yunxia.

Su Erlang was affectionate and righteous. In order to save her, he was hacked by the villains, but fortunately he was saved by passers-by.

But after Jiang Yunxia was rescued, she drove away by herself in a carriage, leaving the seriously injured Su Erlang alone in the wilderness. He walked from dusk to dawn before he got home and fainted at the gate of Su's mansion.

This is not a fake. People who were near Su's house at that time saw it with their own eyes.

Those people were gossiping and asking around to find out what happened.

Once the rumor came out, they thought the case was solved. It turned out that it was the girl from the Jiang family who did the evil.

It would be fine if she had no sense of shame and forced the man to elope with her. People felt sorry for her and gave up their status as children of the nobles. It can also be said that they were in love and moved by their love.

But the man was chopped for her, how could she abandon him and run away?

This is too immoral. What if Su Erlang died?

"But then again, why did the Su family cancel the engagement?"

"Who knows? But the second son of the Su family is a man of noble character and gentle personality, which is well-known among the noble families. It is impossible for him to break the engagement without any reason. The Jiang family is from a merchant family, and the girl begged them to elope with her. It must be that they are not virtuous. The Su family must look down on them!"

"They don't even look down on them! Aren't Minister Jiang and Governor Jiang's families relatives? I heard that the two brothers have a very good relationship. Minister Jiang's family also has a royal concubine. I'm afraid she will compete for the throne in the future."

"How can they be the same? Shangshu Jiang is just a branch of the Jiang family. He was separated from the Yizhou Jiang family when he was a dozen or so years old. It was the old lady of the Jiang family who relied on washing clothes to support Shangshu Jiang. Everything else is inferior, only education is superior. Shangshu Jiang is a scholar. How can Governor Jiang, the son of a merchant, compare with him?"

If he hadn't relied on Shangshu Jiang to promote him, he would have been hunted down and killed by the former Zhenzhou County Magistrate. How could he have the opportunity to become an official?

Now that he is holding on to the thigh of the Royal Concubine and rising all the way, it can't change the fact that they are from lowly merchant families. The daughters of merchants are the best at judging the situation and are full of the smell of copper. How can they compare with the legitimate daughter of the Royal Concubine, who was brought up since childhood in a scholarly family?

When Jiang Xinyue led the emperor into the Jiang family gate, the rumors had already spread very fiercely.

It was worth it that she dawdled in Hexi Palace and found a later time to leave the palace. There is

no construction without destruction, no flow without blocking, and no progress without stopping.

Today she had to make the rumors more fierce so that she could crush them once and for all. Otherwise, these rumors would come out from time to time in the future, and the daughter of the Jiang family would have to prove herself every time. Wouldn't that be annoying?

The Su family didn't know that the emperor would bring Jiang Xinyue home in a low-key manner today, and they were still jumping up and down.

Although they couldn't hold a big banquet on the first day of the new year, it was still possible for the two families to sit together and have a reunion dinner.

As soon as Jiang Xinyue sat down next to the emperor, she asked, "Why don't I see my two cousins?"

Jiang Yanxi showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Xia Jie'er is not feeling well, Ayun is accompanying her sister in the room! It's okay, the servants will deliver their meals to the room, don't worry, Royal Concubine."

Lie!

If it's just an ordinary cold, there's no need for anyone to accompany her, just take a few doses of medicine, and it's understandable to say that Miss Jiang didn't want to pass the disease to Jiang Xinyue.

But what about Sun, who was hesitant to speak and was madly stepped on by Jiang Yanxi, what did he mean?

How did he know what was under the table?

Because Jiang Yanxi stepped on his "dragon foot".

But Jiang Yanxi obviously didn't know, he even shook his head and winked at Sun.

"Jiang Qing?"

Emperor Xuanwu took the wine glass handed to him by Jiang Xinyue with a fake smile, and looked at Jiang Yanxi: "My shoes are going to be worn out by you."

"Bang!"

The wine glass in Jiang Yanxi's hand fell to the ground, and he knelt on his knees in fear: "Your Majesty

, please forgive me, I didn't mean it." Sun also thought that the emperor was angry, and she knelt down in fear, looking terrified: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me, your husband and I didn't mean it, and he also... It's really the Su family who is bullying us too much. They want to force my sister Xia to death! They said that their Erlang loves my sister Xia, and they wanted to marry her. They said that my sister has a bad reputation, and they wanted to cancel the engagement. My family has not made things difficult for them at all, and whatever they say is what they mean. Now they want to spread rumors to destroy my sister's innocence, isn't this forcing her to die?"

As she spoke, her true feelings came out and she burst into tears: "I am the daughter of a small merchant family, and I don't have so many twists and turns in my heart. I can't fight against these noble ladies raised by aristocratic families. I didn't know that they were playing with us like this just to force my daughter to become a concubine."

"Sir, the young lady... the young lady jumped into the river!"
