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

Hearing this, Jiang Peilan was so angry that she almost fainted.

For the first time, she realized that she was completely unable to fight back against Jiang Qingyue.

"You know that's not what I meant?"

"Whether that's what you meant, only you know. Anyway, that's what I heard from you. If not, you don't have to explain so much to me when you go to explain to the emperor.

"I don't mind, but it's hard to say whether the emperor minds or not."

"Don't use the emperor to pressure me." Jiang Peilan was so angry that she was about to collapse. Every word Jiang Qingyue said made it difficult for her to breathe.

Jiang Qingyue: "You are the one who is rude. Why don't I use the emperor's power to pressure others? In the end, you are the lucky one."

Jiang Peilan was so angry that her heart ached. She raised her head and covered her chest, her tone was frustrated and angry:

"So you were just pretending before, pretending to be submissive and weak. Now this is your true self."

"Oh, I'm not pretending, but when you're under someone's roof you have to bow your head. That's what it means to be a wise man."

"Aren't you afraid? Will we go back to that day again?"

Jiang Qingyue spread her hands indifferently:

"We'll talk about it when that day comes. It hasn't come yet, so I'll let it out first. Of course, you can take it out on me, but I don't think you have the ability to do that. You'll just be able to put on airs by relying on your status as a legitimate daughter.

"If one day you lose the protection of your status as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and your position as the prime minister's wife, you will be nothing."

Jiang Peilan was so angry that she was shaking: "How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Why not? You came to my territory to provoke me, and you didn't allow me to fight back. You really were fooled by the nice words of those servants and lost yourself. How dare you come to provoke me like this?"

"Why shouldn't I dare? I'm already here, why shouldn't I dare?"

"Have you finished what you want to say now? If you are, you can leave. You are not welcome here, and you don't have to come again in the future."

"Jiang Qingyue, you are so arrogant. If you don't accept my toast, I will punish you."

"Oh, what kind of toast? Pour it out and let me taste it to see if it smells good."

"I'm already giving you a lot of face by coming to see you."

"You don't have to come."

Jiang Peilan was so angry that she felt like she was going to burn up.

"Jiang Qingyue, you are looking for death."

"Then how do you plan to kill me?"

Jiang Peilan was speechless after being answered, and felt that she had completely lost face.

In order to come and see the fun today, she brought a lot of servants with her. Now she has lost all her dignity and face. She was humiliated by Jiang Qingyue in front of the servants. How can she establish her authority when she returns home in the future?

Without thinking, she took two steps forward and raised her hand to slap Jiang Qingyue.

Just like every time he bullied her before.

But this time, Jiang Qingyue did not meekly take the beating like she did in the past. Instead, she grabbed the wrist that she had hit with one hand and slapped her in the face with the other hand.

With a snap, a slap was heard loud and crisp.

Jiang Qingyue put her hand on Jiang Peilan's face.

Jiang Peilan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Pointing at Jiang Qingyue, it took him a while to come back to his senses:

"How dare you hit me, how dare you hit me."

Her eyes were red, and she rushed forward like a madman, wanting to hit Jiang Qingyue back fiercely, but the two women grabbed her hands tightly.

Not far away, the servants brought by Jiang Peilan did not dare to come forward when they saw the situation.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am? If you dare to hold me like this, I will kill you..."

The two old women were not moved at all and held Jiang Peilan tightly.

Jiang Qingyue looked at her with a sarcastic smile on her face.

She leaned closer and saw Jiang Peilan's anger. Her eyes were like a steel knife scraping bones, wanting to torture her to death. The smile on her face became even happier:

"I really like the way you are, you can't stand me but you can't do anything about me.

"Jiang Peilan, the Jiang Qingyue of the past is dead. I tell you, from now on, if you bully me even a little, I will definitely pay you back a hundredfold."

After saying that, she raised her hand and without hesitation, slapped Jiang Peilan twice.

After two slaps to the left and right, Jiang Peilan's face was swollen.

Jiang Peilan was stunned by the two slaps, her eyes were bloodshot and she looked at Jiang Qingyue viciously.

"Jiang Qingyue, I will make you pay the price."

Jiang Qingyue didn't dodge or avoid, and looked straight at her:

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"However, I advise you not to act rashly. At least wait until the baby in your belly is born. Or you haven't figured out how to explain this other person's child to the Prime Minister."

Hearing this, the anger in Jiang Peilan's eyes immediately turned into shock, and she was full of disbelief.

I don’t know why Jiang Qingyue knew the secret that I kept so carefully guarded.

Not only did he know that she was pregnant, he also knew that the child had nothing to do with Ji Yunzhi.

In an instant, the expression on her face changed and her emotions were complicated.

I didn't know whether I should hate her or kill her to silence her.

I should still hold my chin up proudly to prove that I'm not afraid of her, even if she has something on me.

"You are talking nonsense."

Jiang Qingyue smiled when she saw her like this.

She knew Jiang Peilan too well. She was a paper tiger. She looked fierce on the outside but was actually stupid and cowardly on the inside.

She raised her hand and gently lifted Jiang Peilan's chin, saying in a teasing tone:

"How pitiful! You married the powerful prime minister, but he doesn't have you in his heart at all.

“I’ve been married for more than three years, and I haven’t even gotten married.

“Now I’m pregnant, but I can’t hide it no matter what.

"At this point, I think the doctor has told you that your baby is not growing well yet, so you can't abort it. Because once you abort it, it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a difficult problem, what should I do?

"If you ask me, you should discuss this kind of problem with your lover. When something like this happens, men should always be responsible. The man you carefully selected, no matter what his status is, should be a man of integrity and not a coward.

"My sister, am I right?"

Jiang Peilan looked at her, the anger in her eyes slowly turned into confusion, and finally into horror.

For the first time, she felt that Jiang Qingyue could be so scary.

Jiang Qingyue's words lingered in her ears bit by bit.

The fear in her heart gradually spread.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the change in her expression, then sat down on the chair again, leaning against the soft couch, and found a quite comfortable position to lie down.

She picked up the tea beside her and took a sip slowly, as if savoring the fragrance of the tea.

After drinking it in one gulp, he looked at Jiang Peilan and opened his lips slightly:

"Walk slowly, don't send."

Following her eye signal, the old woman who was restraining Jiang Peilan let go.

Jiang Peilan looked at her, her face flushed red on both sides, but she was unaware of it.

She glared at Jiang Qingyue fiercely, bit her lip, and finally left without saying a word.

Lu Huan watched Jiang Peilan leave and came over to add tea to Jiang Qingyue:

"Miss, I was so relieved just now."

After so many years, her young lady finally dared to speak without considering Jiang Peilan's identity.

She had imagined such a scene countless times before, and finally saw it today.

It's really gratifying.

"Miss, she won't come again, will she?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll scold her every time she comes, and I'll beat her every time she comes."

"So many people saw what happened today. It would be bad for Miss if it got out."

"No, she is very face-conscious. Not only will she not tell anyone about it, she will also try her best to cover it up. Even if it gets out, it's her business, not mine."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lu Huan had a smile on her face. After so many years, she could finally hold her head high.

"But, Miss just hit her, and the Prime Minister...how are we going to explain this to the Prime Minister?"

There was worry on Green Huan's face.

Ever since the Prime Minister rushed back at the critical moment, supported his young lady and spoke for her, he has had an extremely good impression of the Prime Minister.

It would be a pity if this caused the Prime Minister to misunderstand me, or if I became enemies with him.

Jiang Qingyue lay lazily and closed her eyes:

"Then let's wait until he comes to ask."

"Yes," Lu Huan responded, but she had already figured it out in her mind. If the Prime Minister really blamed her and came to question her, she would have to find a way to explain it to the Prime Minister.

Tell the Prime Minister how the Prime Minister’s wife bullied the young lady.

"Green raccoon, I'll take a nap."

"Yes, Miss, I will stay here to guard you."

Jiang Qingyue closed her eyes, listened to the birds singing on the branches, and soon fell asleep.

In the past, every time she saw Jiang Peilan, she would have nightmares and couldn't sleep.

Now, I am finally no longer troubled by this matter.

Jiang Qingyue slept soundly and when she woke up the sun was setting.

She picked up a small storybook next to her and continued reading what she had read in the morning.

Lu Huan came over to change the tea, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Qingyue didn't even raise her eyes: "If you have something to say, just tell me."

Lu Huan curled her lips and said, "Miss, General Dong Ling is still waiting outside."

"Oh, let him be."

"He has been waiting outside today. I think he saw the Prime Minister's wife when she came. He also knew that when the Prime Minister's wife met the Prime Minister's wife, she would know that she didn't like him. He is still waiting there now, just to see if the lady would soften her heart.

"Madam, please don't be soft-hearted. He is not a good person."

Jiang Qingyue picked up the tea and took a sip, saying casually:

"It doesn't matter whether he is a good person or not. I don't care. I just don't want to see him. You don't have to think too much. I don't mean to be angry with him."

Lu Huan didn't understand, but she just listened to what her mistress said.

"Yes, ma'am."

The next two days were calm.

Dong Lingyan came every day, but Jiang Qingyue never saw him once.

Lin Zhiyuan came to visit her twice. Each time, he would listen to the doctor's diagnosis and words saying that the patient was getting better before he felt relieved.

Originally, Su and Shen were also going to come, but there were a lot of rumors outside these two days, so in order to prevent the old lady from finding out, they stayed with the old lady for the past two days.

Jiang Qingyue also asked Lin Zhiyuan to take a message back and tell them that it had been agreed.

I will visit the Lin residence after a few days when I feel better.

This would also prevent the coming and going of people in the Lin Mansion from arousing the old lady's suspicion.

Two days later, Ji Yunzhi arrived, and with him he brought the imperial edict from the palace to confer the title of princess on him.

Jiang Qingyue accepted the order and expressed gratitude.

Ji Yunzhi looked at the princess' uniform and the princess' ceremonial hairpins and rings handed to him by the palace maid behind him, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

After sending away the palace maids, Jiang Qingyue invited him for tea.

As soon as he sat down, he explained:

"It should have come down a long time ago, but some problems occurred a few days ago. Some ministers in the court opposed the canonization, so it was delayed a few days."

Jiang Qingyue: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for helping me."

She knew that although the title of princess was just a title, generally the princesses canonized by the emperor were either from a meritorious family with ancestors who had outstanding achievements, or had made great contributions themselves.

She has neither of these.

She was the first princess in the Zhou Dynasty to cause the royal family to feel guilty because of a simple misunderstanding.

She knew that Ji Yunzhi would definitely do whatever he promised, so she didn't ask him what method he used and poured him tea as a thank you gift.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Ji Yunzhi said:

"Your sister was here."

"Yeah, come and see my joke."

"Anyway, she is now in my Prime Minister's Mansion. I failed to control her and caused you trouble. I apologize to you."

"Okay, I accept your apology."

She didn't say a word about that incident.

He didn't say anything hypocritical and sour, such as "Jiang Peilan didn't have to apologize for what she did." He also didn't say anything hypocritical and unforgiving, and didn't give Jiang Peilan any scorn.

Maybe it’s because she’s died a few times, but now she finds these things boring.

I even understand a little bit about the mentality of those who insist on becoming monks and always being accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas.

Maybe those people not only see through the world, but also have no attachment to it.

She began to feel some respect for the monk.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ji Yunzhi was a little surprised by her casual and free-spirited answer.

She is indeed very different from before...

Jiang Qingyue: "I feel like I might become a monk in the future."

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. There are still many beautiful things in this world that are worth lingering on."

"Yes, I think so too, so I haven't gone yet."

Seeing her blinking casually, Ji Yunzhi smiled faintly with a doting look in his eyes.

Subconsciously, I reached out and wanted to touch her head like I used to.

But just as he stretched it out, he retracted it.

There have been mistakes and misses between them, and it seems that it is not appropriate to continue like this.

He didn't know whether it was too early or too late now, but he cherished the fact that she was willing to sit down and talk to him properly.

Instead of retreating from him and avoiding him like she did when she first married into the Marquis's Mansion, he couldn't say a single word of what he wanted to say.

He is already very satisfied with this situation now.

It was a spring day, with a gentle breeze. In the garden, there were pear blossoms. When the wind blew, the white petals fluttered down to the ground.

Jiang Qingyue poured him another cup of tea, and heard his gentle and cool voice:

"I am preparing to divorce Jiang Peilan."
