Chapter 351: Suicide by Jumping into the Lake

"What?"

Jiang Yankun threw down the wine glass in his hand in an exaggerated manner. The crackling sound of porcelain breaking opened the curtain of chaos in the Jiang Mansion.

But in this chaos, it was still quite orderly if you looked closely.

Jiang Xinyue was relatively reserved. She just tightened her grip on Emperor Xuanwu's fingers slightly. After the servant said that the person had been rescued, she breathed a sigh of relief.

By the artificial lake of the Jiang Mansion -

Jiang Yunxia, ​​who had poured several basins of cold water on herself, was shivering from the cold, and her lips were black.

Jiang Yuncai used a cloth to wipe the ice water off her face, but she dodged it: "No, it will look too fake if I wipe it off."

It was winter and very cold outside. Jiang Yunxia was very cruel to herself, freezing her hair to the point of freezing and hanging stiffly behind her.

When she heard the noisy footsteps, her lips trembled, and her red eyes and nose looked like she had cried a long time ago.

"They all say that I'm a slut and compare me to a brothel prostitute. I... I'm alive... I'm a disgrace to the Jiang family if I'm alive. Let me die, let me die!"

"Sister, don't be so depressed... It's all my fault. If I hadn't been abducted, the Su family wouldn't have used the excuse that our girl has a bad reputation to cancel the engagement. I'm the one who deserves death... It's me who implicated you, sister. I'm the one who deserves death!"

Although the two sisters were acting, what they said was true and emotional. Jiang Xinyue was afraid that they would hold hands and jump into the lake together. You can see how scared the others were when they saw it.

"What did you do wrong?"

Ruan was so angry that her hands were shaking: "Our sister Xia was fine, but such a murderous rumor was made. Why is Su Erlang so good in the rumor, and our sister Xia is unfaithful and unfaithful? It's so obvious that they are targeting sister Xia and favoring Su Erlang. The Su family really taught me something new."

Sun cried and looked like a weak and ignorant woman.

"Okay, okay..."

Jiang Yankun hurriedly called the little maid to wrap Jiang Yunxia with a cloak: "Hurry up and let sister Xia go down to cool off and tidy up. If she loses her manners in front of the emperor and is caught by someone, it will be another storm."

Their Jiang family was deeply favored by the emperor, and correspondingly, they also endured jealousy and malice from all sides.

Everyone wants to take their place.

After the two sisters were helped down, Jiang Yanxi sighed: "Since I brought them here from Yizhou, there have been few days of peace. I ask myself that I am strict and fair in my conduct, why don't they let me go? If I continue to stay here, I am afraid it will cause trouble for the emperor and the queen. If it really doesn't work, I will take them away."

There are indeed quite a few officials who were sent out to other places and brought their families with them.

How should I put it?

There are pros and cons!

It is definitely better for Jiang Yanxi's family that the family can be together without being separated from two places.

But they have been in the capital for a short time, relying on Jiang Yankun to gain a foothold in the capital, and have not really taken root.

Jiang Yanxi was originally a direct descendant of the Jiang family. He had just arrived in the capital. He relied on his cousin to become the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Later, he relied on the imperial concubine in the palace to become the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in just three years.

Although he himself had outstanding political achievements and pulled down corrupt officials twice, these were not enough for the aristocratic families in the capital to recognize his ability.

Everyone still felt that the emperor was promoting the family of the imperial concubine.

At this time, they would not admit that the emperor was a wise monarch who would not get up early without profit and would make reasonable use of talents.

If Jiang Yanxi was really capable, then they had been in the capital for so many years, and the emperor had not promoted them. Wouldn't they have become drunkards?

Therefore, it must be impossible that Jiang Yanxi was capable, but the imperial concubine was capable.

Jiang Xinyue, who was so capable, was sitting on the sedan chair with her sleeves rolled up, followed by the 30 guards given by the emperor, and heading to the Su family.

Seeing this grand scene, the people stopped discussing Jiang Yunxia's matter and were curious about who the stunning beauty wearing a veil on the sedan chair was.

"Isn't that a maid from the Jiang family?"

"Which Jiang family?"

"Tsk! Of course it's the Jiang family of the Imperial Concubine. Look at those guards, they came from the palace. How could Governor Jiang's family have them? The maid walking in front is called Xi Que, a frequent customer of Wuxiangzhai pastries. My shop is opposite Wuxiangzhai, and she occasionally comes to my shop to buy snacks, but I haven't seen her since the Imperial Concubine entered the palace."

"Why did the Imperial Concubine leave the palace? And with so many guards? Where is she going?"

"You don't know this, right? I saw the Emperor taking her back to the palace to visit his relatives this morning. The Emperor is at Minister Jiang's house now! I guess she is going to cause trouble for the Su family."

"There's a good show to watch, hurry up... call all our friends to come and watch the fun."

Su's family -

several servants who spread rumors stood in the middle of the flower hall and chattered: "Madam, you don't know, people outside are saying that Miss Jiang and our Erlang have secretly married for life, and she has given her body to Erlang, who dares to marry her?"

"I even went to the gate of the Jiang family to tell them, they must have heard it, and they are worried about what to do now?"

"I'm afraid they will ask our Erlang to take a concubine in two days!"

"With this reputation, she will agree to be a concubine, otherwise she will die with a white silk."

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise at the gate, and the red lacquered gate was shaking and about to fall.

Because it was the first day of the new year, many guards had taken leave to go home, and there were two servants guarding the gate today.

They ran in with their pants down and fell in the hall. Su Ruyue was startled and stood up with a frown: "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"

The servant covered his swollen eyes: "Outside... a group of people came outside, saying they are looking for... looking for..."

Madam Su was shocked: "Looking for Erlang?"

Could it be that the Jiang family was angry and came to kill?

Merchants are merchants, they act ruthlessly and don't care about face. They are all shameless.

Want to make things out of control, right?

Then she will make Jiang Yunxia unable to get married, and she won't even want to be her son's concubine, let's see who is more cruel?

"No!"

The servant shook his head: "They said they were here to see the eldest girl."

And they came with a vengeance, as if they were looking for trouble.

"What do you want to see Yue'er for?"

Madam Su looked at Su Ruyue in confusion: "Yue'er, have you offended anyone recently?"

Recently?

Wasn't it the Jiang family?

He took advantage of Ada's love for him and tricked his second brother into eloping with Jiang Yunxia, ​​and also let Ada deflower her.

But Ada was dead, and there was no evidence, so why would the Jiang family come to trouble him?

Didn't his second brother find out?
