Ji's death should have been a major event, but in Jiang's Mansion, it was not as important as a Hu Auntie. But in any case, in just a few days, two people died in Jiang Mansion one after another, and the bloody truth of the past was stripped before everyone. The atmosphere in Jiang Mansion was really not brisk. This winter is also colder than in previous years.
Old Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbo seemed to be trying to make up for Jiang Li's past regrets, and they were obedient to Jiang Li, and they had nothing to do with each other. The pearl jade beside the old lady came to deliver clothes and silver several times. Jiang Li treated them with gentleness one by one. It seemed that there was no barrier, but when Mrs. Jiang knew Jiang Li's reaction, she sighed deeply.
Ji was to be buried, but it was called a sudden illness and died overnight. No matter how outsiders pointed, or were confused or incomprehensible, the Ji family, who was Ji Shuran's natal family, did not speak, apparently acquiescing to this fact.
So even though the people in Yanjing City would interrupt after dinner, whether Ji Shuran’s death was hidden, but because there was no evidence, they changed their words.
It took seven days for Ji Shuran's coffin to be buried. For seven days, only Jiang Youyao was Ji Shuran's spirit. Jiang Bingji is too young, and Jiang Li is Ji Shuran's nominal daughter, but Ji Shuran killed her biological mother. How could he defend the murder of her mother's enemy? As for the rest of the Jiang family, Ji Shuran carried so many lives on his body and killed the previous wife. Whoever guards such a murderer is to look at Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Youyao endured the humiliation to stand alone for Ji Shuran. When first learned that Ji Shuran was dead, Jiang Youyao couldn't wait to talk to Mrs. Jiang and Yuanbo Jiang, but they didn't see her at all. It was Jin Hua who was next to Jiang Youyao reminding her that this was what Mrs. Jiang meant. Jiang Youyao recognized the facts, and at the same time, deep fear floated in her heart.
The Jiang family can kill her mother without hesitation, and also kill her without hesitation! Fear triumphed over sadness, Jiang Youyao didn't even have the heart to call Ji Shuran's grievances. At first, she wanted to pin all her hopes on Ji's family. Just waiting for the Ji family to come to Jiang's house, let the Ji family take her away. But after Ji Shuran died, the Ji family didn't show up at all.
I never even had condolences.
At that moment, Jiang Youyao really understood that her mother and herself had been abandoned by the Ji family. From then on, in Jiang's family, she could only rely on herself.
These things were all passed to Jiang Li's ears through Tong'er's mouth. Jiang Li was not surprised by Jiang Youyao's actions. Ji Shuran helped Jiang Youyao to consider everything, and naturally developed that if something happened, Jiang Youyao was accustomed to relying on the help of others. But the Ji family might disappoint her this time. In order to maintain the Jiang family, at least not on the surface, the Ji family will not do anything to hold Ji Shuran injustice.
Ji Shuran was buried, Jiang Youyao fell silent for a while, and nothing happened in the house. Jiang Li still went to Yefu every day to see if Situ Jiuyue gave Xue Huaiyuan a needle. Although there was still no improvement, at least he had a worry in his heart.
But this day, the rare peace was broken.
Jiang Li just got up, so Tonger combed her hair, planning to go to Ye Mansion to stroll around. Qingfeng suddenly ran into the back room and said, "Girl, something has happened!"
Tong'er's hand shook, the hairpin did not catch her hair, and the hair that had been combed back and fell apart, her black hair hanging behind her head. Jiang Li ignored it, just looked at Qingfeng and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The slave servants went out of the house today to buy, and the streets were talking about Ji's death!"
"Just talk about it," Tonger said strangely: "Isn't someone said it a long time ago?"
"No," Qingfeng's words were a little unclear, "but they said that Ji's death was because of an affair with others and gave birth to a sinful seed. Now that the scandal has been revealed, our master personally made it!"
"What?" Jiang Li frowned and stood up.
"Isn't this just telling the truth?" Bai Xue was stunned when he heard the words while holding the hot tea.
"No matter how it spreads out, it should be a good thing for us." Tong'er said happily: "Originally, our girl was wronged. Although Ji is dead, the unreasonable charges on the girl's back are still there. Good now. Now, the truth is clear. Everyone knows that the girl was framed when she killed her mother and murdered her brother. Our girl can be regarded as innocent once."
"It's innocent," Bai Xue shook her head, "but in this way, everyone in the house will think that it was a girl who told her about this matter."
Tong'er was taken aback, Qing Feng said: "That's the reason!"
"Wrong!" Tonger cried, "We really didn't say a word!"
Jiang Li thought about it.
Although she really wants to clear the charge for Miss Jiang Er, she also knows that everything must be considered in the overall situation, and family ugliness must not be publicized. If this matter is known to everyone in the streets and alleys, it will not be a good thing for Miss Jiang Er’s reputation. It also hindered Jiang Yuanbo's official career. If Jiang Yuanbai falls, Jiang's family will definitely be eaten up by others. So she never planned to talk about Ji Shuran out.
She didn't say it, who said it? All the subordinates in the mansion are in the hands of the master. Although the old lady is old, she will surely obey the subordinates, regardless of coercion or temptation. What's more, it's important for people to save their lives. Everyone knows that if they say it, they will be dead.
Who the hell is it
I haven't thought of a reason yet, and suddenly I heard Mingyue's exclamation outside: "Miss San, you can't go in."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Youyao's irritable voice sounded: "Get away!" It seemed that Mingyue was pushed down.
Jiang Youyao rushed in fiercely.
Jiang Li stood up and looked at her.
When Jiang Youyao saw Jiang Li, there was a sting in her eyes. Jiang Li is wearing a plain silk soft satin embroidered jacket dress, with long hair half combed, and two lustrous pearls on her ears, making her face white and beautiful.
Her heart immediately floated over what Yinhua said to her, and the people outside laughed and talked: "Miss Jiang San is also Ji's fornication, right? Isn't Ms. Jiang Er the only concubine in the Jiang family? Let me just say that at the Six Arts School that day, Miss Jiang Er looked like Miss No. 3 had a lot more!"
Jiang Youyao would only sneer if this was put in the past, but now, she found sadly that she could not refute this. Before she knew it, Jiang Li was already a latecomer. She occupied Jiang Yuanbai’s attention and the eccentricity of her grandmother. She compared herself to herself. Now, Jiang Li is the daughter of the first assistant, but she is known outside. For an illegitimate child!
How unfair!
"Three sisters are in such a rampage, is there something important?" Jiang Li asked.
"You don't come to fake disgusting people," Jiang Youyao sneered, "You let go of the rumors outside. Father and grandmother have said clearly that this matter should not be spread outside. You actually made this matter to everyone. Know, make the Jiang family a laughingstock, Jiang Li, what do you intend to do?!"
Jiang Li shook his head: "It's not me."
The mockery on Jiang Youyao's face was even more serious: "It's not you? Who else would it be? In the whole Jiang family, only you hate me and my mother the most! It was you who wanted to kill me and let this matter out. You ruined it. Me! You ruined me!"
"I said that it was not me. If I wanted to, I would say that I would not wait until after the burial." Jiang Li said, "Furthermore, it was Ji Shuran that made the Jiang family a laughingstock. It was also Ji Shuran. It’s not me, it’s Ji Shuran. It’s all on my head, sorry, I don’t have that great ability."
Speaking of words that kill people without seeing blood, Jiang Youyao is not Jiang Li's opponent. In a few words, Jiang Youyao was even more jealous. She stared at Jiang Li and muttered: "I'm going to kill you..." she rushed forward!
In this room, there is still a very powerful Shirayuki. When Jiang Youyao pounced, Bai Xue put the tea cup in her hand and rushed over to block Jiang Li. Bai Xue was taller than Jiang Youyao, and grabbed Jiang Youyao's hand. Jiang Youyao was twisted by Bai Xue, and the honeysuckle who rushed to the side said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Grab this cheap maid!"
Jinhua and Yinhua just recovered and rushed forward, and Tonger was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Greeting Qingfeng Mingyue and these people confuse, Jiang Li can't laugh or cry, walks out of the house quickly, summons two women to separate them, and then sends people to find Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang's people came quickly, and saw that Jiang Youyao's clothes were disheveled, but Jiang Li was calm and light, and she couldn't help but feel shocked. To Jiang Lidao, Mrs. Jiang asked the two to go to Wanfengtang.
Jiang Youyao was discouraged at this moment, and Mrs. Jiang's people did not dare to be presumptuous in front of them. Even if he didn't dare in his heart, he had to hold back and wait to come to Wanfengtang. But Jiang Yuanbo was there.
"Father." Jiang Youyao yelled timidly.
Looking at Jiang Youyao, Jiang Yuanbo felt complicated in his heart.
He is not a saint, and the hatred of Ji Shuran will inevitably not affect Jiang Youyao. But seeing Jiang Youyao's frightened appearance made it hard to harden her heart. Jiang Youyao grew up spoiled in Jiang's family, when was she so timid? Will his two daughters end up on the same road, disappointed in his father, and completely alienated from the Jiang family
Mrs. Jiang already knew the ins and outs from her mother-in-law, and looked at Jiang Youyao and said angrily: "Sanya, you are too much, you have been following such a rule on weekdays, you even murdered your own sister!"
"Grandmother." Jiang Youyao softened her knees and knelt down neatly and said: "Youyao was also impulsive. But... Nowadays, there are everywhere talking about the death of her mother... The death of her mother. There is a lot of news about this matter, as a daughter, Youyao knew that her mother had committed an unforgivable mistake, so she did not intercede for her. But her mother has left and paid the price she deserves. Why don't you let the dead? This makes you feel like a child. How? Father, please feel the same way too!"
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Youyao, and it seemed that after Ji Shuran died, Jiang Youyao had grown up a bit. At least he would use bitterness to find the sympathy of others.
"Furthermore, the mother’s story spread, and Jiang’s family was injured. What others would think of Jiang’s family, now everyone outside says that his father is not strict in governing the family, and Jiang’s family is miserable. Second sister," she looked at Jiang Li. With tears raining, she kowtows to Jiang Li, saying: "You Yao knows that she can't make up for her second sister’s injury, but please raise her hands high and stop discrediting Jiang’s family. As long as you can spare Jiang’s family, You Yao is willing to do everything!"
Tong'er was so angry that she didn't even hit her ears. Originally, she thought these three young ladies were no brains, but now it seems that she shouldn't be underestimated. At least this pretentious effort is exactly the same as Ji Shuran. It's no wonder that if you have a mother, you have a daughter. This pretends to be pitiful, and everyone must admire. At the moment, Jiang Li looked aggressive, and she seemed quite innocent.
Jiang Li said, "Sanmei, I didn't do this."
"Who else would you have?" Jiang Youyao sobbed: "Only you hate your mother the most. If you want to clear your grievances, you are the only one who can enter and leave the house freely every day..."
Jiang Li went to Ye's house every day, and Jiang Yuanbo and Mrs. Jiang were ashamed of Jiang Li because of the previous incident, and did not hold onto Jiang Li. They did not expect that it would become Jiang Youyao's "evidence" at this time.
"Although I have grievances against my father and the Jiang family, I still don't want to drag the Jiang family into the water." Jiang Li said calmly: "Although speaking this matter can solve my grievances, it will allow me to The Jiang family is in a very disadvantageous position. This way, it will not do me any good." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "I know the sadness of the third sister, but no matter how sad, we must weigh the pros and cons and don't act impulsively."
She said so frankly that she had resentment against the Jiang family, and both Mrs. Jiang and Yuanbo Jiang were taken aback. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li's words made their hearts complicated. Weighing the pros and cons, this is a good thing for the sake of the Jiang family, but Jiang Li's words are too sensible, too cold, and too no "home" feeling.
But the more she was like this, the more guilty Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang felt towards her.
Jiang Li walked to Jiang Youyao and personally stretched out her hand to help Jiang Youyao up. Jiang Youyao subconsciously shrank back, trying to avoid Jiang Li's hand. Jiang Yuanbai frowned slightly when Jiang Yuanbo saw it. Jiang Youyao gritted her teeth and put her hand on Jiang Li's palm.
"Three sisters," Jiang Li helped her up and said, "Your mother has already paid the price for the mistakes she made. Whether or not the price is enough, but the person has passed away, it doesn't make sense to talk about him. The matter should be revealed, I have never thought of refusing to forgive me. Moreover, watching my mother leave, as a daughter, other people don’t know it, but in front of me, how can you say that I don’t know?” She said lightly: "Of course I know."
Of course she knew, because Ye Zhenzhen was killed by Ji Shuran.
With just a word, Jiang Yuanbo and Mrs. Jiang could not think of Jiang Li anymore. Jiang Yuanbai only asked, "Ali, you really didn't tell this matter?"
"Father can investigate thoroughly, it's not my job."
Jiang Yuanbo nodded: "Okay. What happened today is just a misunderstanding. I will find out who is behind." He looked at Jiang Li, "If it's all right, you can go back to the yard and rest." Here, even with a cautious to please.
Jiang Youyao stared blankly at the scene before her. She suddenly discovered that whether it was Mrs. Jiang or Jiang Yuanbai, there was no way to deal with Jiang Li now. It seems that no matter what Jiang Li does, they will compromise.
Yes, compromise. Because Jiang Li can always arouse their guilt easily, and knows their bottom line, so he puts forward the biggest request from the bottom line.
Jiang Youyao was not reconciled, so she had to say something. Mrs. Jiang has coldly ordered the people around her to send Jiang Youyao back to Yao Guangzhu.
This meant she was under house arrest.
Jiang Youyao was shocked, and she didn't understand why she was the victim of this punishment. She wanted to beg Jiang Yuanbo to arouse Jiang Yuanbo's sympathy for herself, but Jiang Yuanbo just looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. Jiang Youyao watched, the fire in her eyes gradually extinguished.
She didn't say a word, and let Mrs. Jiang's people come to "send" her back to the yard.
But she understood in her heart, Jiang Family, she couldn't stay any longer. No one will stand by her again. She and Jiang Li are deadly enemies and are destined to never die. However, as long as she and Jiang Li are in conflict now, there is no doubt that everyone in the house will stand by Jiang Li.
The position of Shoufu's daughter disappeared with the dead Ji Shuran, and could never be found again.
She must make another way of living.
…
At the other end, Jiang Li, who had returned to Fangfeiyuan, sat down in the study.
Qingfeng Mingyue was busy cleaning up the mess that had just been fighting with Jiang Youyao's maid. After Bai Xue and Tong'er were busy, Jiang Li's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the face.
Judging from Jiang Youyao's appearance, it was obvious that he had no knowledge of this matter. It was not passed on by Jiang Youyao, nor was it passed on by herself. Apart from Jiang's family, the only people present at the scene were Jiang's servants. Now that Ji Shuran had an affair with others, there was no room for change. The Jiang family’s statement was damaged, and Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping’s official careers were also inevitable. No matter how you look at this matter, it would be harmful to the Jiang family.
In the whole Jiang family, it seems that only Jiang Li is the most suspicious, because she wants to clear her own charges. After excluding this, would it be someone who wanted to deal with the Jiang family, and deliberately leaked the matter through the incident of Ji Shuran.
Who will it be? Lee's family, right? Princess Yongning? Become king? Or something else hiding in the dark? If it were these people, there might be their spies in the Jiang family's subordinates. You must pay more attention to everything you do in Jiang's house from now on.
If it is not these people, but the ghosts of the Jiang family, it is even more important to pay attention. Since ancient times, house thief has been difficult to guard against. If there is a problem from the house, if the house and the outside of the house should be combined, the Jiang family is afraid that it will be very difficult.
Jiang Li felt a little confused in his mind, he couldn't help but press the button and he was disgusted. When Tonger saw this, she thought she was worried about this, and came over to relieve her: "Girls don't need to worry too much. I can’t find the girl’s head. Although the matter is inexplicable, the girl is also a blessing in disguise. Now everyone in Yanjing City knows that the girl was wronged for what happened back then. ."
"Moreover, by comparison, the talents of the Ji family should have a headache now." Tong'er was a little gloating, "If this happened to her own girl, all the women of the Ji family will have their reputations affected. Not to mention that they are not out of the cabinet, even if they are married. The ladies of the Ji family will be pointed out. Empress Li is not Ji’s elder sister. If your Majesty hears about this, you might think about Li you that way."
Libi? !
Jiang Li stood up abruptly, frightened Tong'er, and said, "Girl, what's the matter with you?"
Jiang Li didn't speak, her expression changed. She always felt that she had missed something, but she didn't care about it these days. At this moment, when she heard Tong'er mention it, she suddenly remembered it. There is another key figure in the matter of Chongxu, Li Bin! Jiang Yuanbai caught Chongxu's Daoist Chief, and he also said that he would bluntly tell Emperor Chongxu's Daoist Chief Hong Xiao.
If nothing unexpected happened, Emperor Hong Xiao should know that Taoist Chongxu was a liar, and also knew that Li Bi's case of disgusting victory was a fake. But now it seems that there is no news in the palace. Did Emperor Hong Xiao not know that Chongxu Dao Chang was a liar? Or did the palace hide the news? But if it is concealed, at least the Ji family will find Jiang Yuanbai to intercede. But since Ji Shuran's death, the Ji family have not been here once, and they clearly don't want to get involved in this matter anymore.
The truth became confusing and confusing in an instant, Jiang Li also couldn't figure it out. She was in Jiang's house, so it might be difficult to know what happened in the palace. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li's hand touched the whistle in his sleeve. There was a shortcut in front of him... But would Ji Heng let Zhao Ke tell her
After all, it is not a trivial matter.
…
While Jiang Li thought of Li Bin, Li Bin in the palace, these few days have also been unstable.
Ji Shuran died suddenly.
When Li Bi met Ji Shuran last time, she was still discussing with Ji Shuran how to use Chong Xu Dao Master to deal with Jiang Li. After leaving that day, there was no more news of Ji Shuran. Not only that, Chongxu Daochang also lost the news. Libi felt a little uneasy in her heart, but the people she sent out had no results. The Jiang family guarded it like an iron bucket, and no news came out.
After waiting two more days, I waited for the news of Ji Shuran's sudden illness. Li Bi was shocked, and she doubted what had happened, and wrote to Ji's family. But Ji Yanlin didn't say anything in reply, and didn't let Li Yan go to Jiang's house to express condolences. This time Li Yan was sure that something must have happened, but what was strange was the attitude of the Ji family. I heard that the Ji family did not attend the Jiang family's condolences. Li Bin was even more disturbed.
Because of something in her heart, Libi simply called her illness these few days, and rarely went out of the side hall, so she said that her body was not well the previous few days. Li's maid Hongzhu came in from outside, trot to Li's and said: "Manny, something happened outside."
"What's the matter?" Libi sat up.
"It is said that Mrs. Ji's death has other internal information." Hongzhu told Ji Shuran about the news she had heard from the outside. Your Majesty also knows."
Upon hearing the news at first glance, Li-嫔 was a little bit overwhelmed for a while. It took a long time before she found her thoughts back.
Regarding Ji Shuran's idea, how could Li Bi didn't know, Chen Ji always told her when he came to the palace to sit in the palace. Regarding the younger sister Ji Shuran, Li Yan was not very attractive back then. Ji Shuran was not as strong as the Chen Ji clan, but the matter of Ye Zhenzhen and Liu Wencai made Li Yan look at each other with admiration. In the end, there is still a bit of fierceness in his bones.
It's just this appreciation, when it hurts me now, it turns into disgust.
"How could it spread out!" Li Wei said angrily.
In Ji Shuran's accident, the entire Ji family's wife's statement would be damaged, even her. When people see her, they will say, look, she is Ji Shuran's elder sister, with the same blood flowing in her bones, will she be so vicious and watery in the future. In the palace, there are constant struggles, and there are countless people who can use this to bring her down.
Wait, how could Ji Shuran die? Was it because of the scandal exposed that he was executed by Jiang Yuanbai? So why is the scandal exposed? Counting the time, it was not long after the exorcism at the Chongxu Dao Chang's Mansion was exorcised
Has it been discovered that Taoist Chongxu is a liar? Li 嫔 wringed her veil, if this happened, she would be the first one to be unlucky! The emperor will not allow a person who deceives himself to live in the world!
Just thinking about it, the maid outside came to report, and the emperor came up.
Li Bin quickly checked in and got up to greet her.
She lowered her head and could catch a glimpse of the bright yellow dragon robe from the corner of her eyes. The dragon robe stopped in front of her. In the past, Li's courage was so courageous. It was not as good as the other concubines in the palace to show respect to Emperor Hong Xiao. She was able to tease with Emperor Hong Xiao, so she didn't have much fear of the dragon robe. It was this fearlessness that made her the most special one in the eyes of Emperor Hong Xiao.
But today, the bright yellow color is like a reminder. For the first time, she also gave birth to the fear of imperial power. She is humble and fragile. When she lowered her head, she only felt that the time was too long. I don't know what kind of fate is waiting for me.
It took a long, long time.
When Libi's forehead began to seep with cold sweat, a familiar voice rang and said, "No gift." A pair of hands helped her up.
Emperor Hong Xiao looked at her with a smile, just as he was spoiled and handsome before, and Li Yi's heart was gradually let go-it seems that Emperor Hong Xiao's attitude towards her has not been affected by external rumors.
I shouldn't know about Chongxu.
Emperor Hong Xiao stretched out his hand to pin the long hair scattered in front of her and then touched her cold sweaty forehead, frowning and said: "Why does Liyi sweat so much? It's such a cold day."
Libi smiled and said: "It's probably that the body is still a little weak, and it hasn't been well."
Emperor Hong Xiao nodded and instructed his servants to let the imperial physician come over and get Libi's pulse. Seeing that Emperor Hong Xiao had the same attitude as before, Li Bi was completely relieved.
In fact, as long as Emperor Chongxu's affairs are not known to Emperor Hong Xiao, Ji Shuran alone is not enough to completely shake her position. Libi can use other methods to show that she is completely unaware of the matter, and she can even use bitterness.
As long as she can completely separate herself from this matter and turn herself into a deceived person.
so far so good. As if walking on the road of life and death, Li Bi showed a real smile and gently leaned her head on the emperor's shoulder.
Emperor Hong Xiao patted her hand, as if soothing, but the gaze in his eyes was extremely cold.
