Although this voice sounded a little childish compared to the so-called "Prince's Consort" in her dream, it was undoubtedly the same person.
According to the dream, the general situation was that Jiang Bican tricked his way into Zheng Zhuo's bed, and Zheng Zhuo was falsely accused of having an affair with her.
This kind of insidious trick is not hard to imagine - give the man a drug to make him unconscious or drunk, and then after a night, the woman will do whatever she wants. Besides, Jiang Bican is cruel to herself. If Zheng Zhuo doesn't touch her, she will find someone else to touch her and really get pregnant.
The Jiang family was a prominent family in Chang'an. The eldest branch of the family, to which Jiang Birou came from, was not in a good position, but Jiang Bican's father was a third-rank official in the Dali Temple, so it was not easy to offend the second branch. If something like that happened, I'm afraid Zheng Zhuo would not be able to sit idly by, and Yuan Cixian would certainly not marry him again.
It turns out that this is how the engagement between the two families broke down.
Yuan Cixian found it a little unbelievable. For someone like Zheng Zhuo, who had been in the political arena for many years and had seen the darkness and intrigue of the royal family, he would actually fall for a girl who seemed to be just a little smart. There must be some twists and turns behind this that she was not aware of yet.
Thinking of this, she glanced at her rival's sister-in-law. As a child of the Jiang family who had close ties with the Yuan family, Jiang Birou would not be unaware of such a move, right? If she knew, what role did she play in it
Yuan Cixian's mind was spinning, but her expression froze for only a moment before she covered it up and said with a smile, "I like sweet talkers the most. A'sao's younger sister is also very pretty. Is she married?"
Jiang Bican rushed to answer: "No! Sister Cixian hasn't even married yet, how can I get ahead of you?"
Oh, didn't he get ahead of her? He got her fiancé.
Although Yuan Cixian had never had any special feelings for Zheng Zhuo, in her dreams, he was her serious fiancé after all. She certainly couldn't feel comfortable that someone had used such despicable means to design her marriage and even the Yuan family.
But she still smiled and said, "Then I'll hurry up and you can get a number."
Jiang Bican responded sweetly.
Jiang Birou was also laughing.
Yuan Cixian saw that she was smiling but looked a little listless, so he said, "It's freezing cold, and my sister-in-law is pregnant, so don't stand in the wind and talk. If you let my brother know, you can blame me for not being tactful."
Yuan Cixian only learned about Jiang Birou's pregnancy after she returned to Beijing. When she first heard about this happy event, she was very happy for her brother. After all, it was not easy for her sister-in-law to get pregnant due to her weak constitution caused by coughing and asthma for many years, otherwise it would not have taken nearly two years for her to get pregnant.
She guessed that Jiang Bican came to visit his eldest sister today for this reason.
Jiang Bican stuck out his tongue when he heard that, and said embarrassedly: "Don't blame Sister Cixian, it's my fault for being so tactless. I'll help Sister back right away." Then he asked, "Sister Cixian, are you coming in too?"
Yuan Cixian smiled and said, "I'll go take a shower first and come back later. Sister-in-law, ask the servants to prepare some snacks for me. I'm hungry."
"I know." Jiang Birou gave her a stern look and said to Jiang Bican, "Cixian is just like you, always likes to run out and make trouble..."
Yuan Cixian turned back to her own courtyard, and when no one was around, she lowered her voice and told Shicui behind her: "Send the servants in the backyard away."
*
A quarter of an hour later, Yuan Cihan pretended to take a bath, went around the backyard and sneaked under the back window of Jiang Birou's main house, squatted at the foot of the wall, and put his ear close to the window gap.
This is her Yuan Mansion, so it is not difficult for her to eavesdrop.
Jiang Birou's voice was very low, but Yuan Cixian had sharp hearing and could make out the general idea.
She heard her cry in her voice, "Can'er, what should I do? The doctor examined my pulse a few days ago and said that I can't have children at all. Even if I get pregnant now, I won't be able to keep the baby. It's been cold recently and my cough and asthma often occur. I'm afraid I can't do it without taking medicine. But once I take the medicine, the baby in my belly will definitely be gone. I'm really desperate... The Yuan family only has Shichen as a son, and it's impossible for him to be childless. It's only a matter of time before this concubine comes into the family..."
Jiang Bican hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, what my uncle and my father meant is that life is the most important thing, and coughing and asthma must not be left untreated. As for concubines, after all, they are to leave descendants for the Yuan family. The etiquette and rules are there, and my brother-in-law's heart is with you, so what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that Shichen's heart is not with me. In the past two years, I have been aware that Shichen may have married me because of the accident in my childhood, and he wanted to atone for Cixian's sin..."
Yuan Cixian couldn't help but choke in her throat.
That accident had weighed on her mind for many years.
At that time, she was still in Chang'an and was a very good playmate of Jiang Birou. She often took her to run around the mountains and fields, and sometimes she would call her brother to go along.
In the winter when she was seven years old, she and Jiang Birou went out for a walk in the wild, but they parted unhappily because of a quarrel. She turned around and walked out of the forest, but she encountered a sudden snowstorm on her way back, and she was almost trapped in the forest. She finally took a shortcut to escape.
As she was groping in the forest, she wanted to turn back to look for Jiang Birou, but was stopped by the maid beside her. After she came out of the forest, she was so cold that her legs had lost feeling. Even though she was worried about her, it was impossible for her to go look for her in person, so she sent out the guards who were waiting outside the forest.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Birou and her maid wandered into the depths of the forest in the wind and snow. They were rescued by Yuan family guards more than half an hour later. They later caught a cold and developed a chronic illness.
Yuan Cixian had seen some rare flowers and plants that only grow in winter in a book, so she dragged Jiang Birou to the wild forest to pick them. It was also because she was tired of the guards that she asked everyone to wait outside the forest. As for the quarrel, although it takes two to tango, she was the first to leave in anger.
It was all her fault in the end. She felt so guilty that she ran to the Jiang family every day, wishing she could take the blame for Jiang Birou.
But the Jiang family did not welcome her, and thus fell out with the Yuan family. It was not until the Yuan family was crowned king and moved to Yaozhou that the relationship between the two families gradually eased.
Yuan Cixian had not set foot in the Jiang family for many years until she was fourteen years old, when she heard that her brother was engaged to Jiang Birou.
The childhood accident has become a thing of the past, and the children of the Jiang and Yuan families can be considered childhood sweethearts. If the two really want to get married, Yuan Cixian will of course be happy. But she is afraid that her brother is doing it for her.
When she went to Beijing at the end of that year, she asked Yuan Yu about this matter, but he gave her the cold shoulder.
He said to her, "What are you thinking about? Your future sister-in-law is the most beautiful person in the world except our mother. You must not ruin my good fortune!"
At that time, she had been away from Chang'an for many years, so she didn't know her brother's current situation. Moreover, because she had not yet reached the age of marriage, she was quite ignorant about the relationship between men and women. During the New Year's holiday, she saw that her brother and Jiang Birou were really close, so she dispelled her doubts...
Yuan Cixian leaned against the wall, secretly clenched her sleeves, and continued to listen to the conversation between the two people in the room.
Jiang Bican's voice rang out again: "Sister, Can'er has a plan. Since you said that your brother-in-law married you out of guilt, let's use guilt to tie him down completely. After all, childhood events have passed a long time ago. If something happens again, we won't be afraid that your brother-in-law will change his mind."
Yuan Cixian seemed to have guessed what Jiang Bican meant, and as expected, she continued, "Although this child is destined to be lost, he should still be useful. As long as Sister blames Yuan Cixian for the loss of the child, isn't that enough?"
Jiang Birou was slow to speak, and after a moment's hesitation she said, "Ask Sister to think about it."
"Sister, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If you can't bear it, you will suffer in the future. I have thought of a way for you. If we falsely accuse Yuan Cixian of doing it on purpose, my brother-in-law will definitely not believe it, so let's make it an unintentional mistake. I will get close to her later, and in a few days, ask a few good ladies in Beijing to come to Yuan's house to play. Then, whether it's tossing pots or kicking football, I will act according to the situation and make sure she 'accidentally hurts' you..."
After a long while, Jiang Birou finally agreed: "...Okay."
Then, there was no sound in the room.
Yuan Cihan returned the same way and couldn't help laughing out of anger.
This Jiang Bican is quite a "wonderful person".
She returned to her room and called Jianzhi to ask, "Is my brother at home?"
Jianzhi replied: "My husband has gone out and has not come back yet."
She nodded and asked, "A few days ago, a doctor came to check my pulse. What was the result?"
"The doctor said that the madam's pregnancy is stable and everything is fine."
In this case, this person must have been bribed by Jiang Birou.
She thought for a moment and ordered, "Three things. First, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a note to my brother. Second, go find the doctor and pry open his mouth. Third, pack my luggage for me. I'm going to be away from home for a few days."
Jianzhi was shocked: "Running away from home?"
*
Late that night, Yuan Cixian braved the cold wind, avoided the night patrols of the Jinwu Guards, and came to the side door of the Lu Mansion in Yongxingfang.
As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. If Jiang Birou wanted to divert the trouble, there were countless ways for her to do so. Even if it was not a game of pitching pots or kicking balls, a fall or a slip in front of her would be fine. In order to avoid the disaster, she would have to be on guard at all times in her own home, just like guarding against thieves. How tiring it would be.
The most permanent solution is to run away from home. If she is not at home, who can harm her
She touched her red nose and sighed.
Now she had nowhere to go, so she had to give Lu Shiqing a chance to atone for his sins.
It was a dark night with strong winds, and the wall was even higher. She took out a black cloth and covered most of her face, then slowly climbed up with the help of branches. However, just as one leg passed the edge of the wall, before she could jump down, she alarmed the servants who were on guard all around.
Dozens of servants holding torches came running from all directions. The first one shouted at her, "Who are you? How dare you break into a house at night?"
Oh, Yuan Cihan remembered that the last time she sneaked into the Lu Mansion, she told Lu Shiqing that his family’s defense had serious problems and should be changed.
Now she has improved herself into a pit.
Jianzhi looked up from under the wall and said anxiously, "Young lady, please come down quickly. I will take you away."
Yuan Cixian lowered her head and whispered, "Why are you retreating? Go on your own and don't get caught!"
What could possibly happen to her in the Lu Mansion? She was certain that no matter how much Lu Shiqing hated her, he would not do anything to her, so she dared to be so fearless and do whatever she wanted.
However, she really didn't want to alarm anyone except Lu Shiqing, lest she be laughed at, so she raised her voice and said, "My dear heroes, I am your husband's sworn friend. I came here at night and stopped by to visit you. Could you please... let me know?"
The people below obviously didn't believe her nonsense. Seeing that several strong men were about to climb up to chase her away, she said quickly, "Your husband is 22 years old and unmarried. He is handsome and dashing. The two most capable servants around him are named Cao An and Zhao Shu. He is afraid of dogs and has a mysophobia. He can't see things in pairs. Even the antique shelves in the study are symmetrical... I am really his sworn friend!"
"…" It sounds like he is indeed a very "congenial person", especially such a private message as Bogujia.
The servants stopped rushing forward to chase the people away. Yuan Cixian breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask them to inform them when he saw two people walking quickly down the corridor. From a distance, the one in front was Lu Shiqing who was startled, and the one behind was Cao An who was holding a torch.
She felt as if she had been pardoned. She sat on the edge of the wall and waved, "Brother Zishu!"
Lu Shiqing paused.
He was quite familiar with this gruff voice.
After a pause, he walked faster. When he reached the wall, he saw Yuan Cixian winking at him. He felt a headache coming on. He cleared his throat and ordered everyone around him, "Everyone, leave."
After everyone had left and only Cao An, who had left the light on, was left, Lu Shiqing looked up at the person on the wall: "What are you trying to do to me in the middle of the night?"
Yuan Cixian pulled off her veil so that he could see all of her "beauty", and then said pitifully: "I was kicked out by my brother and have no home. Can you take me in for one night..."
