Chapter 170: Homecoming
early morning.
The sky was turning pale.
There were few pedestrians on the street.
There was still a slight smell of burning in the air above Jiangzhou City.
The carriage slowly left Jiangzhou.
Jiang Zijin was eager to return home.
She streamlined many things, even handing over the antique jades to the escort agency to be shipped to Beijing.
The purpose is to travel light and return to the capital as soon as possible.
After leaving Jiangzhou City, the air became much fresher.
The whole person feels refreshed.
Looking back, she had been unlucky and had bad luck ever since she came to Jiangzhou.
I tried every possible way to see the person I wanted to see, but I didn't get to see them, and I didn't accomplish anything my mother wanted to do.
She firmly believed that as long as she left Jiangzhou, everything would return to normal.
She will also find a way to cure the scar on her mother's face.
Her meeting with King Jing in the capital was destined, but the time had not yet come. As long as she waited patiently, everything that belonged to her would eventually return to her hands.
Even if the ending of her previous life was that her soul returned to the altar, she didn't want to give up.
She already had a prophet about those things.
She knew that the man who killed her was a general, and there was a scar on the back of his hand.
After waking up from the dream, she drew the shape of the scar.
She must remember this scar.
Find this person and eliminate him first to prevent future troubles.
And what surprised her the most was that the person who wanted her dead the most in her previous life was actually the person next to her.
That beautiful lady, Fu Lingjun, who is known as the benevolent king.
All the kindness he showed her was false.
It was only after that big dream that I woke up. Looking back on everything, I just found it ridiculous.
Her grandfather and father repeatedly advised her that the young emperor was using her and was hiding his strength, and that he was not on the same page with the Qi and Jiang families.
He wanted to get rid of him and support his young son to ascend the throne so that she could rule the country from behind the scenes, but she didn't believe it.
Fei, thinking of the tenderness of the past, stood firmly beside her husband.
Stupid, so stupid!
It was because I was too stupid and didn't listen to the advice of my grandfather and father that my whole family ended up like that.
This life.
She would never make the same mistake again.
She wants to strike first...
Qi Caiwei leaned lazily on Mei Gu with half-closed eyes, her face covered by a veil.
There is a kind of soft beauty, like a woman holding a pipa and half covering her face.
She didn't sleep well last night and felt a little tired.
I felt both excited and nervous.
I want to go back to the capital, but I don’t dare to go back.
With her face like this, I wonder if her husband will dislike her.
Will her father think she is useless?
But she has two children, and her every frown and smile has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
She also became more and more beautiful.
Both she and her husband are first-class in appearance. In a few years, Jin'er will become even more beautiful and charming.
Pearl also made her feel relieved.
In the past year.
My son's temperament seems to have changed a lot.
He often locked himself in his room to study hard.
Once you pass the autumn examination, you can become a scholar.
A ten-year-old scholar is already considered to be gifted.
His father and grandfather would be happy.
Jiang Zipei leaned against the carriage railing with a book in his arms, reciting poems while shaking his head.
After coming to Jiangzhou, he lost a lot of weight.
But his mother and sister seemed to have noticed nothing. They only wanted him to study, please his father and grandfather, pass the imperial examinations, and bring honor to the family.
Even if you are sick, you still have to go to school after drinking a bowl of medicine.
It seemed like his life was all about studying, studying non-stop.
Only Aunt Mei cared about whether he was happy, sick, or eating well...
That's the case.
Then he might as well study hard and pass the imperial examination.
He begged His Majesty to allow him to be sent to serve as an official in a remote area, away from the capital and away from everyone.
The mother and her two children had different thoughts in their minds.
But they all hoped to leave Jiangzhou as soon as possible and stay away from this place of trouble.
Have the groom speed up.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the carriage galloping forward and getting farther and farther away from Jiangzhou City.
It felt like I was escaping.
In the evening, the sun sets.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Jiang Zijin felt inexplicably frightened.
I heard the guards outside talking about the post station.
She finally felt relieved and together with Aunt Mei, she helped her mother get off the carriage.
Weird...
The atmosphere is very strange.
It's said to be quiet, but it's also very noisy.
It is supposed to be the time when tired birds return to the forest, but there is not even a shadow of a bird, let alone the sound of birds singing.
But it was quite noisy.
The sound of cicadas seemed to be amplified several times, causing headaches.
Jiang Zijin was startled and stopped.
Suddenly, many people, including yamen runners, emerged from around the post station and blocked their way.
Surround them.
Judge Qin and Madam Qin were helped down from the carriage and walked straight towards them.
Qi Caiwei stood there, her whole body frozen.
At this moment, she felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured over her head, and she trembled all over and shivered with cold.
Fear spread to every part of my body, and I felt as if I were filled with lead and couldn't move.
Mei Gu's face turned pale. She was stunned for a moment, but still stood in front of her master.
Jiang Zipei, who was originally concentrating on his sage book, looked up.
So many officers and soldiers!
There was also the Qin couple who came with great momentum.
He was so frightened that the book in his hand fell to the ground.
Jiang Zijin took a deep breath and glanced at her mother. Panic and fear were evident in her mother's eyes.
It goes without saying that it seems her mother has caused trouble behind their backs again.
I don’t feel sad.
Mrs. Qin walked over quickly, pushed Mei Gu away without saying a word, and gave her a loud slap in the face.
She ripped off her veil and grabbed Qi Caiwei's collar, glaring at her and saying, "Bitch, are you so bold as to burn down my building?"
Then another slap in the face.
Mei Gu had her hands grabbed by two burly old women, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was of no use.
Qi Caiwei's face, which was already scabbed, began to bleed again.
Her hands, which were covering her face, were wet, and she took them away to take a look.
“Blood…blood…”
"ah……"
He screamed like a madman and then fainted.
Qin Tongpan hurriedly called his servants to take his fierce old wife away.
He wants money, not lives.
Mei Gu broke free, held her master in her arms, and called a maid to treat her wounds.
Jiang Zijin stepped forward, raised his head, and looked straight at Qin Tongpan. "Why did Lord Qin block our way and allow Madam Qin to beat my mother?"
Qin Tongpan was stunned and almost stunned by the little girl's aura. Jiang Yunze actually had such an outstanding daughter.
Although he didn't want to waste time talking to the child.
But the adult was so inexperienced that she fainted from fright, so it wouldn't hurt to talk to her about it.
So that she can be convinced.
He asked someone to take out the earrings and handkerchief and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you recognize these items? They were found at the fire scene. And those beggars..."
The police brought in four beggars whose faces were bruised and swollen from being beaten.
Jiang Zijin looked at the handkerchief and earrings, glanced at Mei Gu, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Mei Gu's heart was pounding when she looked at the two objects, and she was trembling with fear.
Her earrings...
How could it be in Tianxiang Tower?
She had only gone to the dilapidated temple that day, and she had fallen there, so how could she...
These beggars must have picked it up and then dropped it in Tianxiang Tower.
His eyes fell on the handkerchief, where a rose flower was very eye-catching.
It was... it was the new handkerchief she embroidered for the lady.
She remembered that she had not had time to give it to the lady, so she put it in the sewing basket. Later, she thought that the lady had taken it away, so she didn't think much about it.
How...how could it be in Tianxiang Tower?
