Jiang Shiying looked at the mark on her hand and then at Mrs. Jiang. Her smile did not fade away, but it was a bit scary: "It's not that my mother always said that she only likes to see me look so innocent and unconventional. Isn’t it? Didn’t you tell me not to take those secular rules and regulations into consideration? Why are you saying that I have no rules now? "

Without waiting for Mrs. Jiang to answer, Jiang Shiying said again: "Oh, I remembered, that's not what my mother said when she faced Mrs. Beppu. She only said that I was stubborn and difficult to discipline, right, mother?"

Naturally, Mrs. Jiang would not admit that she deliberately raised Jiang Shiying and ruined her reputation: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Jiang Shiying didn't argue with her: "It doesn't matter, let's put this aside for now. I told you that today I'm here to celebrate with my mother. Qiu Shuang, pick up the cup and pour some wine for Madam."

Qiu Shuang followed her words and refilled the wine glass, making a show of handing it to Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Shiying said: "Mother, please use it."

Mrs. Jiang wanted to repeat her old trick, but Jiang Shiying held her hand tightly and said: "Mom's hands are not steady, so let me, a daughter, help her."

After saying that, she looked at Qiu Shuang: "Qiu Shuang, serve Madam to drink."

At this moment, Qiu Shuang had no way of turning back and could only follow Jiang Shiying's order. She pushed the wine glass to Mrs. Jiang's lips, and Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips tightly. The wine flowed out of the glass, slid down her chin, and then dripped onto her clothes and seeped into it.

"Jiang Shiying, I am your stepmother!"

"Yes!" Jiang Shiying nodded: "That's why I came to fulfill my filial piety to my mother! Look, my younger brother and third sister are not as filial as me. On such a happy day, I still think about my mother. , I want to spend time with my mother."

Mrs. Jiang had long known from Suxue that Jiang Jing was recovering from his injuries after being beaten by her. Now that she dared to mention Jiang Jing, she felt angry and resentful.

He then heard Jiang Shiying continue: "Even the eldest sister in the palace just handed over a letter."

Mrs. Jiang keenly grasped the key point of her words: "Concubine Hui returned with a letter? Where is the letter?"

When she was first grounded, she had someone deliver a letter to Concubine Hui. She had not received a reply for so many days, so she thought it was because the letter had not been sent out of the house.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Concubine Hui not to return. That is her biological daughter, and it is impossible to see her locked up in the Buddhist hall like this. Unexpectedly, it was Concubine Hui's reply that was blocked by Jiang Shiying.

"The letter is with me. I'm keeping it for my mother." Jiang Shiying felt that she was such a considerate person.

"Give me the letter." Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand, palm facing up.

"My mother's hand is unsteady, how can she hold the letter? It would be bad if it is torn accidentally."

Mrs. Jiang knew that Jiang Shiying did not mean that she might tear up the letter. She was clearly threatening herself.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Mrs. Jiang said: "My hand is very stable and will not tear it. Second girl, give me the letter and I will pretend that nothing happened just now."

Jiang Shiying didn't look at her, and signaled Qiu Shuang to pour another glass of wine. The wine glass was raised to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mother said she has steady hands, how could she not be able to hold the wine glass? I don't believe it unless mother proves it." Show me."

It was obvious that Jiang Shiying didn't want to see her drinking, but just wanted to humiliate her, but Mrs. Jiang had to lower her head at this time.

She took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "That's it."

I thought Jiang Shiying would just accept it, but unexpectedly she frowned: "How can mother drink like this, how can she savor the taste of this wine? This is the wedding wine of father and new aunt, isn't it like letting down father and new aunt? A thoughtful thought?"

Mrs. Jiang told herself not to think about the new aunt she was talking about. The important thing was to get Concubine Hui's letter first.

Jiang Shiying asked Qiu Shuang to pour her another glass of wine. She took it and drank it slowly as Jiang Shiying wanted.

"tasty?"

"Delicious."

"Is mother happy?"

"Happy." He gritted his teeth.

"I can rest assured that."

Jiang Shiying teased her a lot and finally took out a letter from her sleeve. Mrs. Jiang wanted to reach out and take it, but she saw her hand raised high. "

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

"Don't worry, mother. As for the letter, I will definitely give it to my mother. I just want to advise my mother to stay calm before reading the letter."

"why?"

Jiang Shiying laughed: "I'm not afraid that the greater my mother's expectations, the greater her disappointment."

With that said, she put the letter into Mrs. Jiang's hand.

Although she knew that she had most likely read the content of the letter, Mrs. Jiang did not intend to open it in front of her and started to chase away the guests: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Jiang Shiying was not angry and stood up and said: "Then I won't disturb mother. Mother must cultivate herself well and pray with heart in this Buddhist hall. After all, this is what Empress Hui Fei expected."

Mrs. Jiang didn't believe it, but she didn't want to say more to her. She just said, "Let's go."

Jiang Shiying walked slowly to the door, then suddenly turned around and chuckled.

Laughter rang out in the empty little Buddhist hall, and coupled with the dim candlelight in the little Buddhist hall, the face that was as beautiful as a fairy became scary for no reason, like an evil ghost returning from hell to take revenge.

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang thought in a daze that the person in front of her was not Jiang Shiying, but another person.

The man's name was almost on her lips and she almost blurted it out, but she held it back.

Jiang Shiying took in all the changes in her expression, and before pushing the door out, she said in a cold voice: "By the way, mother. The new aunt is a concubine who has been recorded as a delinquent by the government. If anything happens to mother, A good concubine can be corrected."

Then he said to Qiu Shuang who was behind Mrs. Jiang: "Qiu Shuang, you must take good care of my mother for me."

Mrs. Jiang clearly knew that Jiang Shiying could not do anything to her blatantly. Even if she wanted to do something, Qiu Shuang might not have the courage.

But at this moment, Mrs. Jiang felt an endless chill rising from the bottom of her heart and spreading to every corner of her body.

When I came out of the small Buddhist hall, I saw that the sky had completely darkened, and the entire Jiang Mansion seemed to have fallen into silence.

Qiu Yu silently bowed and followed Jiang Shiying.

She didn't ask Jiang Shiying why Qiu Shuang didn't follow her out. Since Qiu Shuang was originally Madam's, it was only natural that the property would be returned to its original owner.

The late spring wind brought a slight chill, gently blowing across Jiang Shiying's face, and a strand of hair rubbed against the tip of her nose, making her feel a little itchy.

"What's the time?" Jiang Shiying asked.

Qiu Yu replied: "It's the end of the Youshi period."

The corners of Jiang Shiying's lips curled up: "In a little while, this house will become lively."

In the small Buddhist hall behind Jiang Shiying, Mrs. Jiang turned around and slapped Qiu Shuang to the ground as she watched the door being slowly closed.

"What a slave who betrays your master!" Mrs. Jiang stared at her fiercely: "I think you don't even want the lives of your whole family!"

Qiu Shuang knelt down at Mrs. Jiang's feet, hugged her legs, and begged: "Madam, please spare your life, all slaves are forced to do so!"

"Pa" - another slap.

"Do you think that I can't do anything to you now that that bitch has become the head of the county? Don't forget, I still have your deed of betrayal in my hand." All the anger that Mrs. Jiang had just accumulated in her heart was gone. He vented his anger on Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang cried until she burst into tears: "Madam Rongcun, I did not betray you. The county master just said that just to make you doubt me!"

Of course Mrs. Jiang knew that Jiang Shiying did it on purpose, but Qiu Shuang's humiliation to her just now was also real.

The wine spilled from her chin had already soaked into her clothes, and the wet clothes stuck to her body, as if to remind her of how humiliated she had just been.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated her. Mrs. Jiang kicked Qiu Shuang on the shoulder: "You bastard, have you forgotten what you just did?"

Qiu Shuang was kicked to the ground by her and cried: "Madam, this slave is doing this for you! If I hadn't done that just now, my life would have been lost. But how can I retaliate for your humiliation today?" Coming back?"

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang seemed to be a little moved, Qiu Shuang continued: "I want to win the trust of the county master again so that I can help you better, so I stepped her into the mud completely. Think about it, I just want to risk my life and not give up my family." If your life is on the line, how can you dare to believe that the county master can really spare this slave?"

Qiu Shuang secretly resented that her life was as thin as paper. The county chief wanted to manipulate her, but the wife also wanted to manipulate her. Anyone could kill her, but she could only find a glimmer of hope for herself in the cracks.
