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

Nanny Li asked someone to open the box, and when she saw what was inside, she was dumbfounded.

The boxes in the storehouse no longer have any trace of the original dowry.

Each box contained only one or two items and some worthless ornaments.

Almost everything on the list was gone.

Nanny Li was horrified and rushed to the main house, where there were several boxes. She immediately ordered someone to pry open the lock.

It's the same in these boxes, not much better than the boxes in the warehouse.

There were only a few pieces of cloth that looked a little valuable, but the bottom was almost empty. In an instant, Li Ma realized that she had been cheated, and her face was livid as she ordered:

"Hurry, hurry, catch those two little bitches back."

There weren't many things in Luhuan and Zisu's bags, so it's impossible for them to take them away all at once. They must know where those things went.

She didn't know why Jiang Qingyue's things were gone, nor did she know when they moved away. But she knew that she didn't get anything, and the old lady would definitely take it out on her. Whether she could find them or not, she had to catch those two girls and find a scapegoat.

Moreover, Jiang Qingyue's dowry was gone in the Marquis' Mansion. If the Jiang family really came to the door, the old lady might just push her out. If she made a big deal out of it now, they wouldn't be able to blame her then.

She said that she saw something was wrong with the two of them just now, and this turned out to be the reason.

Once she catches these two, she will make sure they are taught a lesson.

Nanny Li thought angrily, and quickly found several groups of people, assigned all the guards outside to block each door.

Today, they cannot fly out of the Marquis' Mansion even if they have wings.

She couldn't bear this responsibility at all.

At this time, Luhuan and Zisu were walking towards the gate of the mansion.

Lu Huan was afraid that Nanny Li would notice something was wrong, so she walked very quickly, not daring to stop for a moment.

But they were just two girls after all, there was no way they could outrun those guards.

Finally, he was caught up by the guards at a small gate.

When Luhuan and Zisu saw someone chasing them, they cried out in their hearts that something was wrong and started running.

The guard behind him shouted to the old woman at the door:

"Close the door, close the door."

In order to avoid being discovered, the two of them went out through a small door. However, the gatekeeper heard someone shouting and locked the door immediately without knowing what was going on.

Lu Huan was extremely anxious. If they couldn't get out at this time, they would definitely not have a good ending when they returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

We can only give it a try right now.

But how could these two girls be any match for those guards and servants?

The two were forced into a corner.

Just when Lu Huan was thinking about fighting to the death, two figures flew over from not far away. They were Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

As soon as they arrived, they stood in front of Luhuan and Zisu, and knocked the guards to the ground with just a few punches.

When Luhuan and Zisu saw the two of them, they cheered up and dealt with them.

In just a short while, another group of people came from behind, and everyone felt something was wrong.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu saw that more and more people were coming, and they knew that they could not delay any longer and had to make a quick decision. They took the initiative to step forward, knocked the newcomer to the ground, and then shouted behind them:

"Hurry, both of you go grab the keys and get out quickly. You'll be safe once you get out."

Lu Huan immediately pulled Zi Su to the door. The gatekeeper was trembling with fear. Seeing Lu Huan's murderous expression, she did not dare to confront her head-on. Her hand trembled and the key fell to the ground. Lu Huan did not make things difficult for her. She picked up the key and went to open the door.

The door opened with a click, Lu Huan pushed Zi Su out first, and then shouted inside:

"The door is open. Da Wu and Xiao Wu, let's go together."

But more and more people came, and Da Wu and Xiao Wu were both entangled. No matter how powerful they were, they could not fight four hands with two fists, and they were already at a disadvantage.

"Go, go, go quickly."

Da Wu didn't care about anything else. He was on guard against the guards while yelling at the person behind him.

Lu Huan clenched her teeth and turned away with tears in her eyes. Da Wu and Xiao Wu were relieved to see them leave. They still stood guard at the door, but they were already covered with wounds.

Things had come to this point, and the two were afraid they could no longer escape. They looked at each other, nodded, and then attacked the guards on the opposite side.

They have been living in hiding for these years, and it was the young lady who gave them dignity. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. At this point, there is no reason to retreat.

The two men had more and more wounds on their bodies, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, but they still guarded the door tightly and did not let anyone out.

Just when both of them thought that they would die here today, the door was kicked open with a bang.

Lin Zhiyuan came in with a group of people and stood directly in front of Da Wu and Xiao Wu.

The guards didn't know Lin Zhiyuan, but seeing that he looked like a nobleman, they stopped what they were doing and dared not move forward.

This isn't about going into battle to kill the enemy, it's just a matter in the mansion. No one knows who the other party is, and no one intends to fight to the death.

Lin Zhiyuan raised his sword and glanced around sternly. Seeing that no one dared to move, he took Da Wu and Xiao Wu and went out directly.

The guards and servants looked at each other in amazement and dared not chase after him anymore.

After the others had left, he finally reacted and hurried over to report.

When Li Ma Ma heard that the person had left, she slapped her thigh anxiously. She didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to report to the old lady.

After hearing this, the old lady smashed a set of teacups fiercely.

"what?

“No dowry?

“The person ran away?

“Are there any outsiders to help?

"This is outrageous. Go check who it is..."

The old lady was both angry and anxious, and she scolded Li Ma severely.

"Are you dead? Even a maid can't stop you."

Nanny Li was trembling with fear and didn't dare to answer at all.

After the old lady had scolded enough, she began to shift the blame:

"Madam, those two maids didn't take anything out, just a few sets of clothes. There was no trace of the dowry, so they must have moved out long ago."

"Moved out early? That means she had planned for today a long time ago. I never thought she had such a plan."

The old lady became more and more angry as she spoke.

She always thought she had Jiang Qingyue under control, but she never expected that Jiang Qingyue had her own thoughts.

They were all deceived by Jiang Qingyue.

"What are those two maids carrying?"

Nanny Li felt a chill on her back, fearing that the old lady would blame her: "To answer the old lady, these are the clothes and jewelry that the young lady usually wears."

"How could they have taken all these things? They shouldn't have been given even one needle."

Madam Li hesitated, "At that time, I wanted to seize the dowry, so as not to alert the enemy. I thought it was just a few ordinary clothes, so I let them take it away."

"Waste, go and invite the prince here."

Xue Feimu came over quickly.

As soon as he heard that Jiang Qingyue's dowry was missing, he moved out early. He was shocked at first and then furious.

At first he was wondering if he had misjudged Jiang Qingyue.

Now it seems that he really didn't wrong her at all.

Jiang Qingyue's heart is neither with the Marquis' Mansion nor with him, so she never cares about him, is unwilling to consummate the marriage, and is even less willing to help him, and even puts the Marquis' Mansion in a dilemma.

"She was really lucky. I should have given her a divorce letter earlier. Giving her a divorce letter would have given her dignity. Now I think about it and feel that I lost out."

The old lady snorted coldly, "If you really want to make her life miserable, there shouldn't be any divorce letters or divorce letters. You should just trap her in the Marquis' Mansion. As long as she is in the Marquis' Mansion, you can do whatever you want and torture her however you want.

"Now that the divorce letter has been given, she can leave the mansion openly and marry openly in the future."

The old lady's tone was full of reluctance and she was very regretful for having made a hasty decision before.

When Xue Feimu heard that Jiang Qingyue might get married again, he was furious.

He has not yet consummated his marriage with Jiang Qingyue. If Jiang Qingyue remarries and people know that Jiang Qingyue is still a virgin, how will they look at him and talk about him?

Xue Feimu simply couldn't imagine this scene, and his hatred towards Jiang Qingyue reached its peak.

"boom."

He slammed the table fiercely: "She actually plotted against me."

The old lady glanced at him and said, "Forget it, now the divorce papers have been sent out, there is no point in saying anything."

Xue Feimu said nothing, his face full of reluctance.

Old lady: "Has the news spread outside?"

"Yes, grandmother, now half of the capital knows that she and I have divorced."

"The news about the Imperial Concubine has spread. There are even rumors in the capital that someone has seen the Imperial Concubine."

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now and wait and see how the Dali Temple decides. We must not let this unlucky star affect the Marquis' Mansion.

"It would be great if the Marquisate could get through this safely."

"Yes." Xue Feimu responded with a frustrated look and went out.

General's Mansion.

After Dong Lingyan finished dealing with the matters at hand, he called Jing Huai over to ask questions.

"How is she in prison?"

Jing Huai heard him ask Jiang Qingyue and said with a smile: "Be quiet, don't cry or make a fuss."

"Look, this is what it means to be sensible and well-behaved, what it means to be kind, and what it means to not cause you any trouble."

Dong Lingyan glanced at him, and Jing Huai immediately fell silent.

He thought of something, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he came over to Dong Lingyan and said:

"Brother, Sister Jiang is divorced now. Do you have any thoughts?"

Dong Lingyan had a blank expression on his face: "I have prepared a house for her, and she can just move in when the time comes."

Jing Huai picked up a piece of dessert and ate it:

“This is not a solution, it’s neither right nor reasonable.

"But there is nothing you can do about it. If people knew that the Crown Prince's wife had become your concubine, you would be talked about a lot."

Dong Lingyan picked up the pen and thought in his mind:

It would be better to let Jiang Qingyue live in the general's mansion when the time comes. After all, a concubine doesn't need to socialize. As long as she stays in the yard, no one will know about this.

Since I have taken her body, I must be responsible for her to the end. It must be difficult for a woman to get divorced, and the Jiang family is not a good place to go.

Naturally, he would not let Jiang Qingyue always be with the green lamp and ancient Buddha. After thinking about it, he felt that it was most appropriate for her to follow him.

He doesn't have any women in his mansion now. Jiang Qingyue's marriage can be regarded as the only favorite in the imperial palace, and he is doing her justice.

Thinking of this, Dong Lingyan made a decision silently.

Thinking of Jiang Qingyue, he lowered his eyes slightly...

Come to think of it, he hasn't been with her for quite some time.

When she enters the general's mansion, she can see him every now and then.

Jiang Qingyue's face appeared in his mind, and the scenes of living together in the future emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.

Jing Huai looked at his expression and knew what was going on, but he didn't say anything.

Now that Nie Qianjin is gone, his elder brother has a new life. This is a very good start.

Just at this moment, a guard came in from outside and told the rumors that had spread from the capital.

Dong Lingyan was shocked after hearing this.

"Who released the news?"

He felt that everything was arranged properly and no one would see Nie Qianjin.

But now that such rumors have spread, and they are so convincing, it must have been spread deliberately by someone.

The guards brought up all the information they had found. Dong Lingyan read it and his eyes turned cold:

"Zhongyong Houfu is seeking death."

Jing Huai realized that something was wrong and asked about the situation in detail, but the more he asked, the more frightened he became.

What happened to the Marquis' Mansion was no big deal, but in this case, Jiang Qingyue would be in danger.

Originally, Nie Qianjin had already left. As long as it could be proved that she had made a mistake and put in some more effort, the crime could be cleared from Jiang Qingyue.

but now……

It doesn’t matter whether this is true or not. What matters is that the rumor was correct and Nie Qianjin is indeed not dead.

If Nie Qianjin picked Jiang Qingyue again under such circumstances, he would be in danger.

just now……

Because of those rumors, this matter became a choice between two options for Dong Lingyan.

He looked at Dong Lingyan and spoke with difficulty:

"This is just speculation from outsiders. Rumors are all kinds of things. The emperor will definitely not take them seriously. There is no need to let Sister Jiang sacrifice her life for such a groundless rumor."

Dong Lingyan raised his head, looked at Jing Huai, and finally met his gaze.

"It would be fine if it were just a random guess,

“If this matter has nothing to do with me, then it’s fine.

"But the rumor has had a positive impact. Her risk has greatly increased and there is a high possibility that she will be discovered."

Jing Huai had already heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked weakly:

"So, do we have to sacrifice Sister Jiang?"

Dong Lingyan hesitated for a long time before speaking:

“I owe her this.

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be who I am today. I must repay her kindness to me, and I will definitely do what I promised her. As for Jiang Qingyue...

"She values ​​the Lin family. I will spare no effort to help the Lin family and do my best."

Jing Huai wanted to try again:

"Sister Jiang, do you really have to die?"

"I have no choice."

"But this is too unfair to Sister Jiang."

"There is no fairness in this world."

"But...Sister Jiang is so pitiful."

Dong Lingyan said nothing and turned around.

Seeing him like this, Jing Huai knew that there was no possibility of changing this matter.

"Then can I ask someone from the Lin family to give her a ride?"

Dong Lingyan didn't say anything, Jing Huai turned and left.

He didn't see that Dong Lingyan, who had his back to him, had a look of pain and struggle on his face.

This was the first time in all these years that Dong Lingyan went against his own wishes.

To do something he doesn't want to do.

He has committed many murders and arson, and his hands are stained with blood.

But now...

For a moment he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
