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

With this loud shout, a sharp sword came flying through the air.

Then he saw the knife in the executioner's hand being knocked to the ground.

A strong gust of wind from the knife made the executioner retreat repeatedly.

"Who are you? How dare you destroy the execution ground? Someone come and capture him." As soon as Lord Wu, who was sitting in the first seat, finished speaking, a group of guards surrounded the execution ground.

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a fierce horse running from the entrance of the execution ground, and they all made way for it.

The horse was pulled by the reins, and with a "whoosh" sound, its front hooves were raised, revealing the person on the horse.

He was dusty, wearing a short coat and riding a horse, and his heroic demeanor attracted cheers from the women around him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, it's Mr. Prime Minister, the Mr. Prime Minister is back."

"The Prime Minister has been in Jiangnan for several months and is finally back."

He looked at the people on the execution ground with a sharp gaze, then jumped off his horse.

Lord Wu was startled, and his previous momentum was gone. He stepped forward and saluted: "Your humble servant greets the Prime Minister. I hope you can forgive me for any offense I have caused."

Ji Yunzhi ignored him and walked straight towards Jiang Qingyue. Seeing that she was covered in blood, he took off his cloak and covered Jiang Qingyue with it.

Then he sat on the ground and felt her pulse.

When you don't know where the injury is, you dare not move easily.

At the same time, a woman got off the carriage behind Ji Yunzhi's fierce horse.

It was none other than the imperial concubine who fell off the cliff: Nie Qianjin.

Lord Wu widened his eyes, looked at the Imperial Concubine, then looked at Jiang Qingyue lying on the ground, knowing that he might be in trouble.

"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and happiness."

The onlookers were shocked:

"My Lady Concubine, isn't My Lady Concubine dead?"

"How is this going?"

"The Imperial Concubine is not dead? Didn't she get pushed off the cliff by the Crown Prince's wife?"

"The Crown Prince's wife was wrongly accused?"

Amidst the doubts, Nie Qianjin walked to the platform, glanced at Ji Yunzhi on the side, frowned, and said to everyone present:

"This is indeed a misunderstanding. When the Japanese princess invited the Crown Prince's wife to view the scenery at the Moon Viewing Terrace of Baiyun Temple, I accidentally lost my balance and fell off the cliff.

“There are many ancient trees under the cliff. It was my fate that I was hung on a tree. I barely escaped death. After several days, I finally walked out of the dense forest and happened to meet the Prime Minister who was returning to the capital.

"While on the road, I heard that the Crown Prince's wife had suffered an unprovoked disaster because of me, so I hurried back to clear the Crown Prince's wife's name. Fortunately, I made it in time. If I had been a step later, I would have been unable to sleep or eat well for the rest of my life.

"The Crown Prince's wife did not harm me. I was coughing because of the wind. The Crown Prince's wife was concerned about me and came forward to help me calm down. It happened that I slipped and fell off the cliff. Outsiders were far away and thought that the Crown Prince's wife pushed me.

"It was really a misunderstanding. I have to apologize to the Crown Prince's wife."

As soon as Nie Qianjin finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion all around.

"It turned out to be all misunderstanding."

"The Crown Prince's wife didn't push the Imperial Concubine at all."

"But the Crown Prince's wife is covered in blood. I'm afraid she was tortured."

"The Crown Prince's wife is so pitiful."

"Yes, she suffered an unexpected disaster. Fortunately, the Prime Minister arrived. If he had been a step later, wouldn't the Crown Prince's wife have died in vain?"

"Don't mention the Crown Prince's wife. They have already divorced."

"Now it seems that there is something fishy about this divorce. The Crown Prince's wife clearly did not do such a thing, so how could she write a divorce letter out of guilt? In my opinion, this divorce letter was written by the Marquisate because they were afraid of being implicated."

"That's right. Otherwise, the Marquis' Mansion should have made a statement about the Crown Prince's wife being imprisoned. But from beginning to end, the Marquis' Mansion has been indifferent and has stood aside."

"Yes, yes, that's right. I just heard the prince of the Marquisate say that he would invite people for drinks and dinner tonight. This shows that he doesn't care about the life and death of the prince's wife at all."

"Tsk tsk, this mansion is really hard to evaluate."

Everyone showed contempt for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

At the execution ground, Ji Yunzhi felt Jiang Qingyue's pulse and held her horizontally in his arms.

He said to Lord Wu of the Dali Temple, "Please invite Lord Wu and the Imperial Concubine to come into the palace together and explain today's situation."

"Yes, yes, of course."

Ji Yunzhi held Jiang Qingyue horizontally in his arms and walked towards the carriage in front.

Today's events were complicated to begin with, and he was Jiang Qingyue's brother-in-law, so no one thought much about this arrangement.

However, Ji Yunzhi had only taken two steps when he was blocked by someone.

Ji Yunzhi looked at the person in front of him with a cold tone:

"General Dong Ling, are you going to block the way?"

Ji Yunzhi's words were blunt, calling him a good dog that didn't block the road.

Dong Lingyan reached out to pick up Jiang Qingyue:

"The Prime Minister has just returned to the capital, and it is time for him to report to the Emperor. I will leave Miss Jiang to me.

"I was there when the imperial concubine disappeared. I am also responsible for the misunderstanding that has occurred. I should be held accountable."

Ji Yunzhi dodged his hand and said, "General Dongling will naturally be held responsible. He was tortured into confessing, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. An innocent person was sentenced to death. I wonder how General Dongling plans to take responsibility?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please do not worry about this."

"I am her brother-in-law. I don't worry about it. She is already dead." Ji Yunzhi stared at Dong Lingyan.

Dong Lingyan avoided his gaze, but his tone did not give in: "The Jiang family has severed ties with Miss Jiang and expelled her from the family tree. You, as her brother-in-law, are now unjustified."

"Even if one's true identity is not right, one still has a reputation. General Dong Ling is not only not right, but also has no reputation."

The two of them were arguing back and forth, neither of them giving in, and the situation was quite tense.

The officials present watched this scene in silence, not daring to make a sound.

Everyone knows that the Prime Minister is the head of the civil officials, and General Dongling is the head of the military officials. The two have always been incompatible.

This time we have a clue, I'm afraid there will be a long battle to go.

"Prime Minister, please hand the person over to me." Dong Lingyan argued.

Ji Yunzhi did not give in at all and said sarcastically: "If I leave it to you, she will die."

Ji Yunzhi didn't give him any face at all and pulled Jiang Qingyue into his arms. The two of them just confronted each other, neither of them giving in.

Not far away, Lin Zhiyuan pushed through the crowd and rushed over:

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Please leave Yue'er to me. I will take good care of her."

Ji Yunzhi glanced at Dong Lingyan, then handed Jiang Qingyue to Lin Zhiyuan, whispered a few words in Lin Zhiyuan's ear, and walked towards the horse at the entrance of the execution ground.

Lord Wu reacted with a start and made a gesture of invitation to Nie Qianjin: "Your Highness, please come in. I will follow you into the palace."

Nie Qianjin nodded and looked at Dong Lingyan. Seeing that Dong Lingyan's eyes were always on Jiang Qingyue, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

She took a step towards Dong Lingyan and wanted to say something, but Dong Lingyan went out before her.

He jumped on his horse and headed towards the palace.

No matter what the inside story is, he has to give an explanation to the emperor for the current situation.

Seeing that Dong Lingyan seemed to be avoiding him, Nie Qianjin thought to himself that something was wrong and didn't know what had happened during this period of time.

In any case, I'm back now and I still need him, so I can't ruin our relationship.

Nie Qianjin suppressed his emotions and got on the carriage, and the group went to the palace.

Lin Zhiyuan carried Jiang Qingyue towards his own carriage.

Lu Huan, Zi Su, Da Wu and Xiao Wu all rushed over. Lu Huan looked at Jiang Qingyue, who was covered in blood, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't dare to delay, got on the carriage and went to the villa.

Originally he wanted to take her to the Lin family, but then he changed his mind and thought that she would definitely not agree. His grandmother would be so distressed if she saw it. Anyway, since there was no danger now, it was better to keep it a secret.

In the carriage, he thought of what Ji Yunzhi had just said to him, and his face was filled with heartache.

A woman's miscarriage is a serious matter, and she needs to be taken a closer look by the doctor later.

The people at the execution ground dispersed.

What happened today has become a popular topic of conversation among everyone after dinner.

Without exception, they all expressed pity and sympathy for Jiang Qingyue.

The reputation of the Marquis's Mansion plummeted.

The Jiang family also leaves people with an impression of being unkind.

Xue Feimu was at the scene and saw the whole thing clearly. He was filled with mixed feelings.

Those who were joking around were speechless.

I used to think Jiang Qingyue was really guilty and could say a few words.

But now, the Prime Minister and the Royal Concubine personally stated that Jiang Qingyue was wronged, and they were speechless.

Since Jiang Qingyue was imprisoned, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion has not said a word.

I never even went to take a look.

There was also a divorce incident.

At times like this, even if I wanted to say something polite, I couldn't find the direction.

Everyone said goodbye and left, not wanting to have anything to do with Xue Feimu.

When Xue Feimu thought back to what had just happened, he always felt that something was wrong.

He could feel how urgently the Prime Minister said "Stop".

He really couldn't imagine that the Prime Minister actually valued Jiang Qingyue, his wife's sister, so much.

The Jiang family did not recognize their daughter, but the Prime Minister did not seem to disown his wife's sister.

If the Prime Minister really cares so much about Jiang Qingyue, then he can completely rely on the relationship with Jiang Qingyue to get some benefits from the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister is the head of the civil servants. He has great influence in the court and is even more influential than General Dongling.

Thinking of this, he secretly regretted it in his heart.

This divorce letter was written too early. I don’t know if it’s too late to take it back now.

Xue Feimu felt uncomfortable and scratched his head when he thought that he might have missed the help of the Prime Minister.

On the way back, he kept thinking that it seemed that he once encountered trouble when he returned to Beijing, and someone said that he was ordered by the Prime Minister to help him...

It seems that the prime minister is easy to talk to. With this reason, he might be able to try to build a relationship with him.

His grandfather once told him that if he wanted to find someone to help him, he should look for someone who had helped him before. Those who had never helped him might not help him, but those who had helped him once might help him a second time.

The more Xue Feimu thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

but……

If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you might meet Jiang Peilan.

When thinking of Jiang Peilan, Xue Feimu felt a little embarrassed.

If the Marquis' Mansion had not fallen into decline at that time, Jiang Peilan should have been the wife of the Crown Prince of his Mansion.

"Oh, forget it, it's a different time now. As long as I can be on good terms with the Prime Minister, there is nothing I can't endure."

Xue Feimu thought about finding an opportunity to visit the Prime Minister's Residence and prepare the gifts first.

As soon as he returned home, he went to Cisongyuan first.

He told her everything that happened on the execution ground, and the old lady's expression changed as she listened.

"The Imperial Concubine is back? Jiang Qingyue is innocent."

"Yes."

The old lady's eyes gleamed, "Then the palace must have some compensation. Hurry up, go and bring Jiang Qingyue back. This is great. Jiang Qingyue was almost beheaded. Whatever the compensation from the palace is, it must be something good."

Xue Feimu was speechless: "The person has been taken back by the Lin family."

"Bah, what can a family outside the Lin family do? You are her legitimate husband. It is only natural for you to bring her back to the Marquis' Mansion. Although the divorce agreement has been written, the Marquis' Mansion has not agreed to it, and it has not been stamped by the government, so it doesn't count."

Xue Feimu didn't say anything.

There were rumors that the Marquis' Mansion had not even visited the prison, so he was asked to go to the Lin Mansion to ask for someone. He was too embarrassed to do so, so he just agreed vaguely. Then he talked about the Prime Minister.

The old lady fully agrees with the idea of ​​making friends with the Prime Minister.

Xue Feimu went to find Sun Xiaoxiao immediately.

Sun Xiaoxiao came in yesterday. As soon as she came in, the old lady handed over the household supplies to her.

The two of them were in love, and when Sun Xiaoxiao heard that he needed money, she gave it to him without saying a word.

She now feels that she is the happiest woman in the world. After so many years, she finally got what she wanted.

Xue Feimu got the money, and naturally he coaxed Sun Xiaoxiao with sweet words, which made Sun Xiaoxiao smile from ear to ear.

As soon as Xue Feimu left, he immediately called Chu Wan'er and Bai Wei over.

She had been to the Marquis' Mansion many times since she was a child, but this was the first time she came here as the hostess.

A new official has three things to do when she takes office, and it is time to establish her authority. She cannot let them think that she is as weak and easy to bully as Jiang Qingyue.

Bai Wei is a maid concubine, Chu Wan'er is a noble concubine, and she is also a noble concubine. In terms of status, she and Chu Wan'er are on the same level.

But besides being a concubine, she was also Xue Feimu's cousin, and the eldest lady in the mansion was her aunt. She considered herself to be one level higher than Chu Wan'er, so it was natural for her to admonish them.

Needless to say, Bai Wei came here obediently.

Chu Wan'er was unwilling, but had to come.

Originally, he wanted to join forces with Bai Wei to avoid being suppressed by Sun Xiaoxiao, but when he thought about the life of his child falling into Bai Wei's hands, he could not sit down with her in a friendly and harmonious manner to discuss things.

She could only endure the humiliation and watch Sun Xiaoxiao blatantly riding on her head.

Sun Xiaoxiao sat in her own yard, looking tired from the night before, and her words were full of Xue Feimu's love for her.

She looked at the two people who came and stood for a long time without any intention of giving them a seat.

He criticized the entire backyard from head to toe, intending to show that Chu Wan'er had been a bad housekeeper in the past.

Sun Xiaoxiao’s purpose is very clear, which is mainly to suppress Chu Waner.

Bai Wei was a maid. She used to be Jiang Qingyue's maid, whom she looked down upon very much.

What the hell, she thought dealing with her would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

But you have to be more considerate towards Chu Wan'er.

Bai Wei responded timidly. Chu Wan'er was almost furious at Sun Xiaoxiao's humiliation in front of the servants, but she didn't dare to get angry.

In the end, I just said a few polite words and dealt with it.

The two left one after another.

But when she thought about being tortured like this in the future, Chu Wan'er felt like she was going crazy.

After returning to Miaowenyuan, he severely punished and scolded all the maids in the courtyard.

When the servants in the Marquis' Mansion saw this situation, they felt that there might be unrest in the mansion.
