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

After hearing what Jiang Qingyue said, Lin Ge had some ideas.

He really thought that batch of silk was good.

If it weren't for the money, he would definitely do this business.

Now that Jiang Qingyue has this idea, maybe we can talk about it.

Lin Ge immediately told Jiang Qingyue every detail of the silk business.

Jiang Qingyue became more and more interested as she listened, and in less than half an hour, the two of them had agreed to cooperate in this business.

The two discussed some details and agreed that Jiang Qingyue would only pay the money, and Lin Ge would be responsible for everything else.

After confirming this, Jiang Qingyue felt relieved. This silk business would definitely make money.

She went to the old lady's courtyard and took out the money from her dowry.

Then he gave the ginseng that he had prepared at the beginning to his second aunt, Shen.

At noon, the family sat together to eat. Jiang Qingyue saw her cousins ​​who had just returned from school and gave them gifts.

Everyone enjoyed themselves.

This warmth made Jiang Qingyue feel warm in her heart, and gave her the strength and courage to continue on her way.

After the meal, Jiang Qingyue was about to leave, but the old lady's eyes turned red again and she insisted on seeing her off.

Seeing that she insisted, Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to obey.

Her aunts each gave her gifts in return and asked her to take them back. She couldn't refuse and had to accept them all.

Jiang Qingyue and the old lady walked towards the outer courtyard together.

Along the way, the old lady told her many things, and even those things that could not be said openly were reminded implicitly.

"Don't rush into anything. Take your time. Consider the outside world and yourself. No matter what, you are the most important..."

Jiang Qingyue listened carefully and responded to each word.

Just after I walked out of the Chuihua Gate, I heard footsteps coming from the front.

When Jiang Qingyue looked up, she saw Dong Lingyan standing beside Lin Zhiyuan.

Startled.

Why is he here?

A group of people came towards them and they had no way to avoid them.

In just a moment, the person arrived.

Lin Zhiyuan also saw them.

“Grandmother, Yue’er, this is General Dong Ling.

"General Dong Ling, this is my grandmother, and this is my cousin."

Lin Zhiyuan introduced them one by one.

The old lady smiled and looked at Dong Lingyan: "It turns out to be General Dong Ling. I am honored to meet you."

Jiang Qingyue also bowed and saluted: "Greetings, General Dong Ling."

Dong Lingyan stood tall and graceful, with his hands behind his back, and smiled at the old lady:

"Thank you for your courtesy, old lady. Dong Ling came here uninvited today because I have something to discuss with Brother Lin. I hope you can forgive me for bothering you a little."

"General, you are too kind. I won't bother you. It is an honor for Yuan'er and the Lin family to be favored by you."

Dong Lingyan looked at Jiang Qingyue: "Who is this..."

"Oh, this is my cousin, the daughter of Minister Jiang, and the wife of the Crown Prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate."

"Oh, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate."

Dong Ling was disgusted with the words "Madam Crown Prince" and pondered over them.

Outsiders might think it was just curiosity, but when Jiang Qingyue heard it, her cheeks felt hot.

Dong Lingyan looked at Jiang Qingyue:

"Last time, the Crown Prince's wife went to the General's Mansion with the Crown Prince. I was away, and I didn't expect to meet you here. It must be fate."

Jiang Qingyue's heart jumped to her throat when she heard him speak:

"Don't dare."

Dong Lingyan looked at her frightened expression and curled his lips slightly:

Not easily frightened.

He glanced into the distance and said nothing more.

Lin Zhiyuan made a gesture of invitation: "General, please come this way."

The old lady took a step to the side, and Jiang Qingyue followed suit.

Dong Lingyan walked straight ahead, and when he was far away, the old lady said:

"I didn't expect this General Dong Ling to be so handsome."

The truth is... it's a little different from the ferocious and evil appearance in the legend.

Jiang Qingyue lowered her head and stepped forward to help the old lady: "Grandmother, have you also heard of General Dongling?"

"That incident caused a lot of uproar back then, so of course I've heard about it. Just now he said you went to the general's mansion, what's going on?"

The old lady frowned slightly when she asked the question.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was something wrong with the way General Dongling looked at Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue explained what happened, saying only that Xue Feimu went to express his gratitude, and didn't elaborate on other things.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:

"Try to have less contact with the General's Mansion in the future. As a woman, it is most important for you to protect yourself."

Jiang Qingyue paused and said, "Yes."

But in her heart she thought: Now is not the time for her to have as little dealings with the General's Mansion as possible.

She and the General's Mansion have become so closely connected that she can't just quit if she wants to.

Seeing that she looked a little dazed, the old lady thought that what she had just said frightened her, so she comforted her:

"Grandmother is too nervous. General Dong Ling's reputation for cruelty was spread because he was investigating a case for the royal family. He himself has not done anything bad. Even if his family...had such an end, it was their own fault. General Dong Ling also suffered a lot when he was in the mansion. As long as you don't mess with him, nothing will happen..."

"Yes, Yue'er knows."

As they were talking, they had already reached the gate.

The carriage was waiting at the door.

The old lady held Jiang Qingyue's hand, her face full of reluctance.

"If you need any help, be sure to tell the Lin family. We are a family, don't be afraid of trouble. If something happens in the Lin Mansion, I believe that you, Yue'er, will not sit idly by, and the Lin family will treat you the same way."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes again:

"Yes, Grandma, Yue'er has made note of it."

Jiang Qingyue got on the carriage and left. When the carriage drove out of the alley, Jiang Qingyue lifted the curtain and looked back. She saw the old lady still standing at the door watching her go. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Huan handed over the handkerchief.

The Lin family is more like the lady’s family than the Jiang family.

When they were a little further away, Jiang Qingyue asked, "How is the matter I asked you to find out?"

Lu Huan replied, "Madam is truly amazing. Miss Yun is indeed not having a good time in the mansion. The maid did not dare to say much. I tried to find out some information by asking around. The young master of the Luo family beat someone up. Miss Yun was originally pregnant, but she lost it because of the young master Luo's attack. The Luo family kept it a secret, and Miss Yun did not dare to say anything.

"I can't believe that Mr. Luo, who looks like a well-mannered scholar, is actually this kind of person."

Jiang Qingyue's eyebrows were raised, and she immediately said:

"Send Da Wu and Xiao Wu over there and give Luo Hui a good beating to teach him a lesson."

In the previous life, Lin Yun was beaten to death by him. In order to prevent the Lin family from finding out, he lied that she had an emergency and buried her overnight.

"Madam, what if he sues the authorities?"

"Tell him: if he sues the officials, let the Minister of Justice Zhen be there to listen in."

The mistress of Lord Zhen, the Counselor of the Ministry of Justice, is Luo Hui's childhood sweetheart. The two had an affair and were caught in bed in the previous life and beaten to death on the spot. The Luo family was also ruined as a result of a conspiracy.

If it were someone else, she would have thought of other ways.

But this doesn’t apply to Luo Hui.

This person is a beast in human clothing who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

The Lin family is reasonable and would not do such a thing as fighting violence with violence, so she will do it.

"Tell him that if he treats Sister Yun badly, he will be beaten every time he is seen until he treats Sister Yun well."

The Luo family is not a high-ranking official, and Luo Hui himself is not clean either. He looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside, so Jiang Qingyue dared to let people take action.

The Luo family is known to others as a noble family with a good family tradition, but the Lin family was caught off guard by the emergence of an outlier like Luo Hui.

"If that's the case, will Mr. Luo become even more aggressive towards Miss Yun?"

"He doesn't dare. This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong. The more you talk to him, the more he will bully you."

Lu Huan nodded, lifted the car curtain and gave a few instructions to Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

The carriage returned to the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as Jiang Qingyue got off the carriage, she was invited by the maid to the eldest lady's courtyard.

Lu Huan felt something was wrong: "Madam, why is the first lady so anxious to come and ask for your help?"

The eldest wife hardly ever takes care of things, and this is the first time she has come to the gate to pick someone up.

I always feel like something big is happening.

"You'll know once you go there."

"Yes." Lu Huan perked up.

When I arrived at the eldest wife's yard, before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of wailing coming from inside.

It’s Sun Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Qingyue and Lu Huan looked at each other and understood what the eldest lady meant by asking her to come over.

In the room, Sun Xiaoxiao lay on Sun's lap, crying bitterly.

As soon as she saw Jiang Qingyue coming in, she immediately pointed over and said, "Aunt, she's here, she's here, you must make the decision for Xiaoxiao."

Sun Xiaoxiao's face was filled with anger. She was beaten in public that day and was completely stunned. After returning home, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved and angry she felt. She immediately went to Xue's house to complain.

It was just that her married sister suddenly came back home and she couldn't spare the time, so she pushed it back.

She had thought it all out. When she came to Jiang Qingyue's house today, she would make sure that she would be skinned alive if not killed.

Since he dared to slap her three times, she would let her cousin ignore her for three years to see if she dares to be so arrogant again.

She wanted her to kneel down and beg her with tears, otherwise she would never forgive her.

Sun turned around and saw Jiang Qingyue, her brows furrowed.

"Qingyue greets mother." Jiang Qingyue bowed without even glancing at Sun Xiaoxiao.

"You're here."

Sun didn't let Jiang Qingyue sit down, and spoke directly:

"Xiaoxiao said you beat her. Is that true?"

"Have."

Hearing Jiang Qingyue's admission, Sun Xiaoxiao could not wait to testify:

"Listen, Auntie, she admitted it. I didn't wrongly accuse her. Auntie, you can see clearly now that Jiang Qingyue is a two-faced person.

"She usually pretends to be virtuous in front of you, but in fact she is arrogant and willful, and doesn't care about the reputation of the Marquisate at all. She hit Xiaoxiao in the face, and at the same time, she also lost face for the Marquisate.

"If people knew that the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was such a cruel person, how would outsiders look upon my cousin? Aunt, you must punish her severely."

Sun Xiaoxiao said a lot of things in one breath, and it was obvious that she was well prepared and had everything ready in mind.

Sun: "Qingyue, you have always been steady and methodical, how could you be so reckless and ignorant of the rules this time?

"No matter what is wrong, you shouldn't argue in public. It's fine to argue, but you shouldn't hit someone. If you hit someone, it will affect how Xiaoxiao gets married in the future, and it will also affect you. You are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. What you do and say does not only represent you, but also the Marquis' Mansion."

"Did mother ask Qingyue why she hit her?"

Sun was stunned and looked at Sun Xiaoxiao.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt guilty and said stubbornly, "We just had an argument, didn't you hit me?"

Jiang Qingyue looked at Sun: "Mother, do you think Qingyue is that kind of person? Just because of such a simple thing, Qingyue took action."

Sun choked.

She didn't take charge of things in the Marquis' Mansion, but she knew Jiang Qingyue well enough and knew that she was not an impulsive or willful person.

In the past few years, Jiang Qingyue has been in charge of the Marquis' Mansion. All the servants in the mansion admire her, which shows that she is prudent and is indeed not like what Sun Xiaoxiao said, who would hit someone just because of a little quarrel.

But Sun Xiaoxiao was her own niece, and if she didn't express her attitude when she came crying, she would be too ashamed to face her brother and sister-in-law when she returned home.

She thought for a moment and said, "I know you're not that kind of person and you know your limits, but you shouldn't do anything. If you have something to say, just talk it out..."

Jiang Qingyue interrupted her: "So, what mother meant was that no matter what my cousin said, I shouldn't do it."

"Uh...if you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Xiaoxiao doesn't have a bad heart."

"Qingyue has been in the Marquis' Mansion for three years and has always respected her mother. However, she only discovered today that she is so indiscriminate and does not distinguish right from wrong. Qingyue cannot agree with this.

"Qingyue had her own reasons for doing it. She naturally didn't dare tell mother what her cousin said and did, but mother didn't seem to care. In mother's eyes, even if the cousin killed someone, she could be forgiven, but not in my eyes."

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, Sun's face turned pale and blue, and she was speechless.

She really didn't ask in detail, but seeing Sun Xiaoxiao crying so sadly, she wanted to make the decision for her.

Sun Xiaoxiao felt guilty. What she said that day was indeed unpleasant to the ear. However, she relied on the support of the Sun family and said loudly:

"How did you talk to your aunt? As a daughter-in-law, is this how you treat your elders?"

Jiang Qingyue didn't give in at all: "You can't win the argument with reason, so you start to use filial piety to pressure me. My cousin is really capable.

"If they are reasonable, I will respect them regardless of whether they are elders or not. But if they are unreasonable, take sides, and use their status as elders to pressure others, then such elders are not worthy of respect."

Sun Xiaoxiao was furious: "Who are you talking about?"

"Whoever it is, just tell me." When Jiang Qingyue said this, she glanced at Sun specially.

Sun was her mother-in-law. Ever since she got married, she could not help at all no matter what happened in the Marquis' Mansion.

Fortunately, she doesn't express any opinions or get in the way, which is her only advantage.

However, every time Sun Xiaoxiao was involved, the Sun family would always stand on Sun Xiaoxiao's side, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.

In the first half year after she got married, Sun Xiaoxiao dared to cause trouble for her again and again without restraint, which had a lot to do with Sun's connivance.

In the past, she just endured it, but now, she is unwilling to endure it.

"Aunt, look at her. It's fine that she doesn't take me seriously, but she doesn't take you seriously either. Such an unfilial person is really not worthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion."

Sun was also angry when she heard this. It was ok for her to be humble in front of the old lady, but it was unreasonable for her to be inferior in front of Jiang Qingyue, her daughter-in-law.

She looked at Jiang Qingyue and acted like a mother-in-law:

"What you said today was really inappropriate. You didn't take me, your mother-in-law, seriously at all. The old lady gave you the household expenses, not for you to act arrogantly in front of your mother-in-law."

Jiang Qingyue was so angry that she laughed.

Sun's words were incoherent and were meant to threaten her with the household expenses.

"Since my mother-in-law thinks I am not competent to manage the household, then I will return the household to her."

He gestured to Lu Huan, who immediately took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve pocket.

"Here are the keys to the various storerooms in the palace. The accounts will be delivered shortly."

Jiang Qingyue bowed, turned around and left.
