Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

There was still a drizzle in the sky, and there was no sign of stopping.

Spring rain is as precious as oil. Under the walls of the alley, the moss has grown tender green new shoots.

A very ordinary carriage stopped in front of the Lin Mansion.

In the carriage, Jiang Qingyue held the post in her hand.

The moment the carriage stopped, she looked at the gate of the Lin Mansion and did not go down.

Today, I didn't think it through.

Once she gets off the car, she might bring trouble to the Lin family.

Although she went out quietly and avoided being seen, there were many servants in the Lin Mansion...

After being reborn, it doesn’t matter whether she can see her relatives or not. The most important thing is to protect them.

The old lady now regards her as a thorn in her side, and Xue Feimu doesn't like her either.

The less trouble, the better.

It was already commendable that she delivered the money and medicine to the Lin residence today, and she shouldn’t have done anything else.

Seeing that she had been holding the post without saying anything, Lu Huan looked puzzled and asked, "Madam, are you not going to the Lin Mansion?"

“Go, but I won’t go.

"Turn the carriage around. I'll go to Zhaixing Tower and wait. You take Da Wu and Xiao Wu to deliver the things in the carriage to the Lin Mansion."

Jiang Qingyue said as she handed the post in her hand to Luhuan.

Lu Huan took the note and looked puzzled: "Madam, why don't you go? We are already at the door."

"There will be a chance in the future."

"But Madam is alone, and I am worried."

"It's okay. Zhaixing Tower is located in the downtown area. I'll just sit in the private room and have tea while waiting for you. It shouldn't take you long."

Lu Huan looked at the post, then looked at his wife, and finally nodded.

He lifted the curtain in front and said something to Da Wu and Xiao Wu, then the carriage turned around and headed towards the long street.

Jiang Qingyue lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the two words "Lin Mansion" on the plaque outside the door, and her eyes couldn't help but tear up.

Passing by a door without entering is not because you don’t want to, but because you can’t.

"I will write a note after I go back, and you can ask someone from the Marquis' Mansion to deliver it. When I return home in three days, I can come to the Lin Mansion."

Then, it will be justified.

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue looked at the Lin Mansion until the carriage turned the corner, then she lowered the curtain, glanced at the box behind her, and gave a few instructions to Luhuan, who wrote them down one by one.

The carriage stopped in front of Zhaixing Tower. Lu Huan helped Jiang Qingyue get off the carriage. The two of them went up to the private room on the second floor. After snacks and tea were served, Lu Huan closed the door and walked out.

Jiang Qingyue was sitting by the window on the second floor drinking tea, watching Lu Huan get on the carriage, and Da Wu and Xiao Wu drove the carriage towards the Lin Mansion.

The reason why she wanted to move all the dowry out so quickly was, firstly, that the Lin Mansion needed it, and secondly, she did not trust the people in the Marquis Mansion.

In addition to the old lady, there is also Xue Feimu in the Marquis' Mansion. Xue Feimu has just returned to Beijing and has more places to spend money.

Every day of delay will bring a day of risk. If you make arrangements early, you will have peace of mind.

Just as she was thinking about returning home, a burst of laughter came from the next room.

She vaguely heard the words "Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion" and listened carefully. When she heard the three words "Si Li Jian", a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Dong Lingyan moves really fast.

"You don't know that the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate turned green when he heard the word 'Si Li Jian'."

"Hahaha, this is called making people happy. The prince of the Marquisate came back from the border and really thought he had accomplished something great. His eyes are so high up in the sky that he can't see anyone. He has no manners at all towards us civil officials."

"Now he's fine. I wonder how he will look down on others in the future. This is called evil will be punished with evil."

Jiang Qingyue's eyelids twitched slightly as she listened to these words.

If it were in the past, she would definitely be extremely worried, and might have already thought about holding some banquets to build good relationships with the ladies of various families and improve the reputation of her husband.

But now, there was no ripple in her heart.

The people next door seemed to be talking happily, and their voices were getting louder and louder. Jiang Qingyue could hear the voices clearly without having to listen carefully.

"There's nothing we can do. He has climbed up the big tree of the General's Mansion. Isn't he going to be arrogant?"

"I guess he didn't make it, otherwise how could he get such a position?"

"Whatever you want, anyway, this incident today is very gratifying."

"Yes, I have been so happy since I left the court..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue stood up and closed the window in front of her. The voices from the other side became weaker and could no longer be heard clearly.

The differences between civil and military officials in the court have always been severe, as clear as the boundary between Chu and Han.

Now it seems to be getting worse.

She didn't care about Xue Feimu, she was just thinking: If someone from the Lin family wanted to go into politics, would it be better for them to be civil servants or military generals?

Jiang Qingyue had just finished a pot of tea when Lu Huan came back:

“Madam, everything has been done. I met Madam Lin and handed the things directly to the old lady. The list was also given together without any fanfare.

"I also told Madam Lin that when Madam returns home three days later, she will also go back to the Lin family."

"Well, you did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. Have some tea and some snacks. We have to go out soon."

"Yes, thank you ma'am."

Lu Huan went to the long table in front to pour some tea and drink some snacks. Jiang Qingyue asked the waiter to pack two more packets for Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

When Lu Huan went to send her off, she followed Madam's instructions and asked Xiao Wu to go back to the clothing shop to change the carriage and wait there, while Da Wu followed to protect her.

After doing all this, Jiang Qingyue and Lu Huan walked out of the Zhaixing Tower and went to the nearby Huarong Lane.

Since I'm going out today to avoid being seen, I want to go for a walk to confuse people.

Huarong Lane is prosperous, lined with shops and crowded with people, making it a good choice.

Jiang Qingyue was strolling along the way, and when she came to a jewelry shop, she ran into trouble.

She was looking at the bracelet when she heard an untimely greeting from behind her.

"Oh, I was wondering who it is? Isn't this the Second Miss Jiang? How come you have time to come shopping today? But why didn't you buy anything while shopping? Are you short of money? If you don't have money, you can tell me and I'll give one to the Second Miss Jiang."

Jiang Qingyue didn't even need to turn around, just by listening to the voice she knew who the sarcastic ridicule came from.

The niece of the first wife, Mrs. Sun: Sun Xiaoxiao.

This Sun Xiaoxiao is Xue Feimu's cousin, and everyone in the city knows that she is in love with Xue Feimu.

At the coming-of-age banquet that year, she said in front of all the guests that she would not marry anyone but Xue or Mu. This statement made her famous and became a topic of conversation and joke in the capital.

Sun Xiaoxiao did not feel ashamed, but felt that she had taken a brave step in pursuit of her love, and kept pestering Xue Feimu.

However, after knowing that Xue Feimu was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she cried bitterly. If her family had not stopped her, there would have been a big mess.

Later, it was reported that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family did not want to get married, and Sun Xiaoxiao cried and shouted, asking her family to negotiate the marriage.

But at that time, the Sun family could not help the Marquis' Mansion at all, so the Marquis' Mansion would never choose her.

There is only one prince in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and Xue Feimu's engagement is not just his business.

Later, the old marquis brought Xue Feimu to the Jiang family to propose marriage in person, and he wanted to continue the marriage even if the bride price was changed.

The wedding date of Xue and Jiang families went on as scheduled, but all kinds of rumors were spreading outside.

Some people said: The one who was originally engaged was Jiang Qingyue.

Some people also said: There was no engagement, it was because the prince liked Jiang Qingyue and came to propose to her sincerely.

Some people also say that the legitimate daughter does not want to get married, so she lets the concubine's daughter take over.

Others said: The concubine's daughter was jealous of her elder sister's marriage, so she used a trick to replace herself...

At that time, the inside story of this matter was widely circulated.

In the end, it doesn't matter what the truth is.

But Sun Xiaoxiao hated Jiang Qingyue.

She believed that Jiang Qingyue had taken away her love and ruined her marriage.

Therefore, rumors were spread everywhere, saying that she was shameless and seduced Xue Feimu, which was why she had no choice but to change her marriage.

Sun's father worked in the Ministry of War, and his immediate superior was Jiang's father. After finding out what his daughter had done, he locked her up in anger, made a false clarification, and the Xue family also came forward to explain, and the matter was finally over.

Later, when she got married, Xue Feimu went to the battlefield on the wedding day without taking off his veil.

During that period, Sun Xiaoxiao came to the Marquis's Mansion several times under the pretext of visiting her aunt to cause trouble for her.

At that time, she was a new bride and still very young, with no one to help her in the house. She faced difficulties from her cousin and suffered a lot of grievances.

Later, when the news of Xue Feimu's death spread, Sun Xiaoxiao calmed down.

Because she threatened to marry her cousin at the coming-of-age ceremony and later spread rumors, Sun Xiaoxiao's reputation was completely ruined by herself. Now she is seventeen years old and has not found a husband yet.

Now that Xue Feimu has returned to Beijing, he has come to cause trouble. It seems that he is becoming active again.

She turned around, looked at Sun Xiaoxiao, smiled slightly, and said:

"Okay, since Miss Sun is so generous, I can't refuse her kindness, so I'll choose one. I wonder how much Miss Sun is willing to give me, so that I can choose. If I choose something expensive, it will be bad if Miss Sun can't afford it."

"Pah, no matter how expensive your choice is, I can afford it."

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Sun."

After that, she pointed to the most expensive golden headpiece in the store and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I like that set. Please wrap it for me. You heard it just now. Miss Sun will pay for it."

"Yes, I'll pack it up right away."

The shopkeeper was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. No matter how others quarreled, he just focused on doing business.

Sun Xiaoxiao took a quick look and saw a golden glow. Her eyelids twitched wildly. She ran over to speak, but Jiang Qingyue spoke first:

"Miss Sun, you are too polite. You don't need to give me anything else. This set is enough."

The words Sun Xiaoxiao was about to say were stuck in her throat, and her face turned red.

Looking at that set of golden headgear again, my heart ached.

How did things become like this.

Why did she buy jewelry for Jiang Qingyue? Why did she really buy jewelry for Jiang Qingyue? Moreover, Jiang Qingyue even bought a set of jewelry, a set of heavy gold. She was really brave.

But now that the words have been spoken, I can't go back on them. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. I can embarrass myself in front of anyone but not in front of Jiang Qingyue.

I could only grit my teeth and swallow this loss.

Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes were about to burst into flames and she felt extremely aggrieved.

Since when did Jiang Qingyue become so difficult to deal with?

In her impression, Jiang Qingyue was someone who valued her reputation the most and would compromise for the sake of everyone's dignity.

She is the eldest wife's niece, Jiang Qingyue should at least give her some face, why is she so sharp-tongued now?

"Miss Jiang has a very unique taste. Who would wear such a tacky thing if they were noble ladies in Beijing? It seems that Miss Jiang herself is extremely tacky."

Ever since Sun Xiaoxiao met Jiang Qingyue, she kept calling her Miss Jiang left and right, and it was obvious that she didn't want to acknowledge her as the Crown Prince's wife.

Jiang Qingyue: “Whether something is vulgar or not cannot be determined by just one or two words from Miss Sun.

"I remember that during the New Year, the Empress wore a new set of phoenix hairpins, all of which were made of gold and decorated with kingfisher feathers. According to what Miss Sun said, do you think the Empress is tacky?"

"You... that's not what I meant. You are slandering me."

Saying that the queen was vulgar was no small matter. Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with panic and her face turned red with anger.

"That's good." Jiang Qingyue looked at her with a smile.

Such a look made Sun Xiaoxiao go crazy.

Jiang Qingyue's expression, as if she had gotten an advantage but was still acting cute, really made her furious.

Just then, the shopkeeper wrapped up the jewelry and handed it over. Jiang Qingyue asked Lu Huan to take it and thanked Sun Xiaoxiao, who was so angry that she was fuming. The shopkeeper quickly replied:

"Miss Sun, one thousand taels together."

"One thousand taels, why don't you go and rob it?" Sun Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and yelled.

"Miss Sun, this lady has good taste. This is solid pure gold, all real gold filigree, gilded with kingfisher feathers..."

"Don't say anything, don't say anything. Here you go, here you go." Sun Xiaoxiao suppressed her anger and asked the maid to pay.

The maid came forward with a red face: "Miss, we didn't bring that much when we went out."

At this time, a lot of people have gathered around, watching this scene as if they were watching a show.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed when she was looked at, and quickly took out a wooden sign and threw it to the shopkeeper: "Go to the Sun Mansion and get it yourself."

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper took it with both hands and responded quickly.

Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Qingyue and said through gritted teeth: "Are you satisfied?"

Jiang Qingyue smiled and replied, “Of course I am satisfied with the gift given by Miss Sun.

"When Miss Sun is free someday, come to the Marquis' Mansion often. I will prepare everything for you and make you feel at home."

Sun Xiaoxiao was originally very upset, but when she heard the word "cousin-in-law", she immediately lied.

"What cousin-in-law? What kind of cousin-in-law are you? I have never acknowledged any cousin-in-law. You are just a concubine's daughter, but you are really good at flattering yourself. It turns out that your mother died early and you have no education..."

"Snapped."

Jiang Qingyue slapped Sun Xiaoxiao hard without hesitation, making a loud slap.

"You, you dare to hit me." Sun Xiaoxiao covered her face, her eyes full of disbelief and humiliation.

Jiang Qingyue never speaks loudly, but now he hits her in public.

Before she could react.

"Pa." Another slap.

"This slap is for you to speak without restraint and insult your elders."

"Snapped."

"This slap is to punish you for making trouble out of nothing. You keep looking for trouble again and again, and you take my kindness for granted."

"Snapped."

"This slap is for you who always make things difficult for me, like my husband, and think I am wrong."

After four slaps, the sound of "pa pa pa" was heard, and Sun Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

There was complete silence, followed by a gasp:

The wife of the prince of the marquis's mansion is too fierce.

Some of those who arrived later didn't know what had happened, but when they heard what Jiang Qingyue said, they instantly remembered how Sun Xiaoxiao had pestered Xue Feimu in the past, and they pointed fingers at Sun Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Qingyue didn't look at Sun Xiaoxiao anymore and just turned and left.
