Miao made up her mind not to marry into the Zheng family, so she did not tell the Zhou brothers about this. Zhou Duxin also missed the opportunity to get to know the truth.
Zhou Duxin still made no progress in investigating Xu Lifang's poisoning, but he did not give up and continued to investigate.
The second day of September was a good day for Qingmei to get married. In addition to using the six taels of silver given by the public treasury to buy her a generous dowry, Chen Yi also used her private money to buy some additional things.
On the morning of the first day of September, Qingmei came to kowtow to Jiang Changning.
"Today she is still Qingmei, but tomorrow she should be called Wenhai's." Jiang Changning smiled, "Fangju."
Fang Ju brought a tray covered with a red handkerchief. Jiang Changning lifted the handkerchief and found a pair of shiny red gold bracelets on the tray. "This is my makeup for you. Keep it."
Qingmei was stunned for a moment when she looked at the heavy gold bracelets. With her status, she was not qualified to wear pure gold jewelry. This pair of gold bracelets was her last resort.
If you are short of money in the future, you can pawn the gold bracelet for silver.
"Thank you, Princess." Qingmei said gratefully.
"Once you marry, you should obey your husband. Live a good life with Wenhai from now on." Jiang Changning warned her lightly to prevent her from helping Chen Yi do bad things.
"Qingmei has remembered the princess's instructions," Qingmei said.
remember!
Jiang Changning smiled faintly. It was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good words. He raised his hand and signaled that she could go out.
After sending Qingmei away, Jiang Changning asked Xiulan and the others with a smile, "What about you? Do you have someone you like? What do you think of Qingmei getting married?"
Xiulan and the others ignored her and left Fu Cui looking silly while everyone else went out.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? How can you be so disrespectful to your master?" Jiang Changning asked loudly.
"Princess, the weather is very nice today. You can come out for a walk." Xiulan said with a smile.
Fu Cui stepped forward and said, "Princess, I will help you out."
With Fu Cui's support, Jiang Changning took a leisurely walk under the corridor.
At this time, Ban Qin came in from outside, "Princess, the prince's letter has arrived."
Jiang Changning showed a look of joy. As expected, dreams are the opposite of reality. Her baby doesn't have to be a posthumous child. "Give me the letter."
After taking the letter, he sat on the railing in the corridor, looked at the secret mark and the seal, and after confirming it, he opened the letter.
In the letter from Prince Jin, as always, even the trivial details were filled with infinite longing and lingering affection.
Jiang Changning happily went to the study and wrote a reply to her man, with a falsified love poem at the end of the letter as usual.
The next afternoon, Xiulan brought her two maids to Qingmei and Wenhai's wedding, and brought three hundred dollars as a gift.
The three hundred dollars was not paid by her alone, but was contributed by all the servants in Rujingyuan.
As soon as she left, Shu Fei came back with a message, "Princess, Princess Ningxia fell off her horse and broke her head and legs."
Jiang Changning was shocked. "Our people took action?"
"No, you told us not to act rashly. How dare we disobey you and attack her?"
"Was it an accident? Or was it someone else's doing?"
“We need to check this.”
"Then check it out."
Every government knew that Song Yirou had fallen off her horse, had a bleeding head and a broken right leg.
When Zhao Xifang heard the servant's report, she remained calm. When she was waiting for someone, she pounded the table angrily, "He's really lucky. He didn't die in this state."
Song Yirou fell off her horse because of Zhao Xifang's actions. The reason was that Zhao Xifang's people finally found out that the donkey was frightened on Laba Festival last year, which was not an accident but man-made.
It was discovered that the person behind this incident was none other than Song Yirou.
Zhao Xifang wished she could strangle Song Yirou to death at that time, but the evidence she found was not enough to incriminate Song Yirou.
With the power of the Song family, Song Yirou didn't even have to go to court, let alone go to jail.
Zhao Xifang knew Song Yirou very well and knew that she loved riding horses, so she planned to make Song Yirou fall off the horse. She thought that Song Yirou would die, but she didn't expect that Song Yirou would not die.
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Song Yirou, your hard days have just begun. We'll see what happens." Zhao Xifang suddenly felt that there was no point in killing Song Yirou all at once and wanted to torture her slowly.
Song Yirou is in a miserable state now. She is not dead, but she is half dead. The medicine has been injected into her body for a long time, but she is still unconscious.
Mrs. Song's eyes were red and swollen from crying. "She has already taken the medicine, why is Rou'er still not awake?"
The doctor's mouth twitched. The medicine was not a panacea that could cure a person immediately. He explained, "The medicine has a calming effect. Princess Ningxia will not wake up for the time being. This is good, so that she won't faint from the pain again."
Song Yirou has not yet divorced the Prince of Ningxia. Logically, she should return to the Ningxia Palace to recuperate. However, since the day she rushed out of the Ningxia Palace and moved back to her parents' home, she has never thought of returning to the Ningxia Palace.
However, the Song family turned a blind eye to her impolite behavior and allowed her to live in her parents' home for a long time.
The King of Ningxia wanted to divorce her, but she let him do so.
Now that Song Yirou was injured, all the mansions had sent people to deliver tonics and other gifts. Even Zhao Xifang had sent someone to deliver a gift, but there was no movement from the Ningxia Palace.
Mrs. Song was furious. "What does he mean by this? Is he really going to break off this marriage?"
"Aren't it Yirou and you who want to break up this marriage?" Madam Song said coldly.
"Sister-in-law, where are you turning your elbow?" Mrs. Song asked angrily.
"I'm on the side of reason, not relatives. Yirou is married, and she came back to her parents' home to live for three to five days, but you let her stay there for several months without persuading her to go back. You don't want to break off the relationship, but what do you want to do?"
"How can I let Rouer go back like this if the Prince of Ningxia doesn't come to pick her up?" Mrs. Song said righteously.
Madam Song was so angry that she laughed, "Yirou came back by herself, why did the King of Ningxia come to pick her up?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Song's reply, she continued, "Not to mention that he is a noble prince, even an ordinary man would not be able to bear knowing that his wife is thinking about divorcing him and marrying someone else."
"Rou'er was just talking." Mrs. Song defended.
"Tell me, is it okay to say that?" Madam Song asked sternly.
Mrs. Song said weakly: "Rou'er is still young, she..."
"Pa!" Madam Song slammed the table. "Don't tell me she's still young. She's already eighteen or nineteen, not eight or nine."
"I've been advising her, but she refuses to listen." Mrs. Song was also very distressed.
Madam Song didn't know what to say. Song Yirou has always been willful.
In fact, when the imperial decree regarding marriage arrived at the mansion, she was worried that Song Yirou would not accept it.
Song Yirou received the order, but she was worried that she would not get into the bridal sedan.
She got on the bridal sedan and married smoothly into the Ningxia Palace.
Just when she was about to feel relieved, Song Yirou filed for divorce.
"Madam, the girl has woken up." A maid rushed in and said.
"Rou'er is awake!" Mrs. Song was overjoyed. She didn't bother to say anything to Mrs. Song and went straight to her daughter.
Mrs. Song sat there without moving and let out a long sigh.
After three days of treatment, my throat was fine, but my teeth still hurt. The pain was so severe that I felt dizzy.
