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

Jiang Qingyue went to meet her two uncles.

Lin Que and Lin Ge saw her standing in front of them in good health, and thought of the scene on the day of execution, and their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.

"How are you?"

"Thank you for your concern, second uncle. Qingyue is doing well now."

"Well, we have all heard about the Prime Minister going to Jingzhao Yin. Now, you two are truly divorced."

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue nodded: "Although it was an accidental success, it was exactly what I wanted. Otherwise, I might not be able to get the divorce letter."

Lin Que sighed, "It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"So what do you think about the future?"

Jiang Qingyue thought for a while before speaking:

“I don’t want to stay in the capital. I should go somewhere else. I haven’t decided where to go yet, but the world is so big, there is always a place for me.

"I'm tired of staying in the capital. I want to go out and take a look. I still have some things to do in the capital. Once I finish them, I will leave."

Lin Ge stood up: "You are a woman..."

“Don’t worry, uncle, everything will be planned, and I will bring someone with me.

"The world is peaceful now. I will pay attention to it myself. It shouldn't be a big deal."

Lin Ge looked at her, frowning, “You are a beautiful woman, and you are young. You have no one to rely on in a foreign land, and you are afraid of being targeted by others.

"Also, the journey is long and we may run into thugs and robbers. It's OK if we don't run into them, but if we do, it's no joke.

"When you are away from home, we can't take care of you even if we want to. We are worried about you being a woman out alone. You should think about it carefully and stay in the capital.

"I understand your thoughts. You can go out and relax, but you don't have to stay here for long. There are always new things happening in the capital, but after a while, everyone will forget about it.

"Wherever there are people, there are right and wrong. It's the same everywhere. If you live your life behind closed doors, it's the same in the capital."

Lin Ge spoke earnestly and sincerely, he really cared about his niece.

Jiang Qingyue listened carefully and then nodded.

"Thank you, uncle, for telling me this. I will think about this matter carefully. Don't worry, uncles. I won't joke with my life."

"That's the best."

"I heard that my cousin got a promotion, but is it true?"

Speaking of this, Lin Que's expression lightened up a little:

"Yes, thanks to General Dong Ling's support. He chose the path of a military commander and now has been promoted to the Ministry of War, which is great."

Hearing Dong Lingyan's name, Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes slightly.

"Yes, it couldn't be better."

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Lin Que paused and spoke again:

"It's strange to say, when I was leaving court the other day, the Prime Minister came over and said a few words, saying that he wanted to promote my position and asked me to prepare.

“I think that I don’t have any dealings with the Prime Minister, and we don’t interact with each other on a regular basis. Even if I am promoted, the Prime Minister doesn’t have to come in person to talk about it.

"Yue'er, you have had some interactions with the Prime Minister. Have you heard him say anything about the Lin family?"

Lin Que was a fifth-rank Chief Censor. Unless the palace issued a special order, he could only enter the palace to attend court on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

He has even less contact with high-ranking officials like the prime minister.

After this incident, Lin Que had to think more.

Jiang Qingyue shook her head: "The Prime Minister did come to the Villa these few days, but he didn't say anything else. He just came to apologize for the Dali Temple's nearly serious mistake."

Lin Que nodded: "It is really admirable that the Prime Minister can do this.

"If it were someone else, you'd be a woman, and I could just dismiss you at will.

"And your wife's sister. If it were someone else, they would definitely avoid suspicion and do nothing. But the Prime Minister did what he had to do. Everything he did was justified, which made people think he was magnanimous."

"Yes, the Prime Minister is very good."

Jiang Qingyue talked to her two uncles, and when she left, she thanked Lin Ge for the villa and accepted it without any hesitation.

Afterwards, we went to my second aunt's yard, and the family had lunch together and didn't come out until the afternoon.

However, just as the carriage reached the main street, Jiang Qingyue saw a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion coming to report.

Jiang Peilan was sick, so Ji Yunzhi asked her to visit her.

Jiang Qingyue pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Ji Yunzhi knew that she had a bad relationship with Jiang Peilan, and he also knew that the Jiang family had expelled her from the family tree. If Jiang Peilan was really sick, Ji Yunzhi would not ask her to visit her.

Now Ji Yunzhi specially sent people to stop her on the street. There must be something else behind this.

Jiang Qingyue thought about the things Jiang Peilan did in her previous life...

I already had a rough idea in my mind.

I just don’t know what the situation is in the Prime Minister’s Mansion now.

The carriage soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Jiang Qingyue got off the carriage, she saw the Jiang family's carriage coming towards her.

Then Jiang Shuo was seen getting off the carriage.

He was dressed in casual clothes, had a serious expression and looked unsmiling, like an official.

It's the kind of look that makes ordinary people feel awe when they see it.

The whole person looks stern and harsh.

Jiang Qingyue narrowed her eyes slightly. This was the first time she saw Jiang Shuo since her rebirth.

Jiang Shuo got off the carriage and saw Jiang Qingyue.

A look of surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.

He didn't seem to expect Jiang Qingyue to come.

Behind him, Cao also got off the carriage.

There was an eagerness that could not be concealed on his face.

She also saw Jiang Qingyue and quickly adjusted her expression.

He glanced at Jiang Shuo, took a step forward, and said to Jiang Qingyue:

"Qingyue is here too."

Jiang Qingyue replied yes and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After taking only two steps, he heard Jiang Shuo's cold voice.

"You didn't even say hello when we met. Do you still see me as your father?"

Jiang Qingyue stopped and looked into his eyes.

"Master Jiang, you are joking. Master Jiang personally decided to expel me from the family tree. The Jiang family no longer has me. Master Jiang still said such things. It's ridiculous."

Lord Jiang has made Jiang Qingyue's attitude clear with every word he said.

"How dare you! I am your father no matter what."

"Lord Jiang has never acknowledged me as his daughter, nor has he ever treated me as a daughter. If that's the case, why bother playing this drama of father-daughter affection now? It's really unnecessary.

"Everyone in the capital knows that I am no longer a member of the Jiang family. Sir Jiang, do you want to go back on your word?"

Jiang Shuo looked at Jiang Qingyue, "Are you blaming me?"

Jiang Qingyue answered directly: "Shouldn't I blame you?

"I have suffered so much for a trumped-up crime. It would have been fine if the Jiang family didn't prove my innocence or believe me, but they also expelled me from the family tree. Do you think I should be thanked?"

Jiang Shuo said nothing and just looked at his daughter quietly.

It was like the first day I met her.

"No matter what, I am your father."

"But I don't want to admit it. Being the daughter of the Jiang family means being bullied by the Jiang family at will, from the mistress of the house, the legitimate daughter, to the slaves and servants. Everyone can bully me.

“And you, turning a blind eye, are aiding and abetting the evil.

"I don't want to be the daughter of the Jiang family anymore. When you expelled me from the family tree, did you never think about this day?

"Today, I said this because I found out that not only am I fine, but I have become a princess. The emperor and the concubine feel a little guilty about me. To you, I am still useful and can be used by you, that's all."

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, Cao hurriedly explained:

"No, no one is bullying you."

She didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to bring up what happened in the mansion, so she could only explain.

"There are no outsiders here, Madam Jiang, there is no need to be so hypocritical. Lord Jiang will definitely believe you anyway. Madam Jiang is so anxious to distance herself from him, which is really an attempt to cover up her guilt."

"Master, I don't have any." Noticing Jiang Shuo's gaze, Cao shook her head repeatedly.

Jiang Shuo glanced at her, his eyes sharp and sharp.

A cold wind blew against Cao's back and she dared not speak.

Jiang Shuo looked at Jiang Qingyue with dissatisfaction:

"I raised you all this time just for you to say these things to me?"

Jiang Qingyue said expressionlessly: "I am young, ignorant and incompetent, unable to support myself. I am really grateful to you for giving me some chaff to survive, and I must repay you for this meal.

"When you have nowhere to go in the future, I will let the dogs in my house share a portion with you and take care of you in your old age, in return for the kindness of raising you when you were young."

"How dare you, Jiang Qingyue! Your upbringing has been eaten by dogs. You actually said such a thing."

"Yes, when I was bullied in the Jiang family, I fed it to the dogs. Since you have never treated me as a human being, I will naturally reciprocate.

"I will treat you the same way you treat me, is that wrong?

"Or is it that you are allowed to do this to others, but not others to do this to you? These are the things you taught me, why are you not happy when I use them on you?

"That can't be helped. I always give back what others give me."

"So, you also know that this is not a good behavior?"

Jiang Shuo's face looked very ugly, and his fury was visibly evident.

At this time, someone came out from the Prime Minister's Mansion:

"Everyone is here. The Prime Minister wants to see you."

Jiang Shuo looked at Jiang Qingyue, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the door.

Cao hurriedly followed behind, and when she passed Jiang Qingyue, she turned around to look at her with mixed emotions in her eyes.

Jiang Qingyue responded with a provocative smile, and Cao was shocked.

Jiang Qingyue just said so much...

Could it be that it was directed at me?

Based on what she just said, she will definitely be in trouble when she returns home today.

She turned around again and looked at Jiang Qingyue behind her.

Her face was calm and emotionless, as if the person who had just accused her of being unwilling to compromise was not her at all.

Cao secretly thought that something was wrong.

She followed Jiang Shuo into the mansion, and was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice that the Prime Minister's Mansion was too calm today.

The servant led the people all the way to the main courtyard.

Ji Yunzhi was already waiting there.

Seeing them coming, he bowed and said:

"Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, Princess."

Jiang Qingyue was so shocked when she was addressed as Princess that she was still in shock.

Lu Huan behind her pulled her collar, and then she realized that Ji Yunzhi was calling her.

She saluted Ji Yunzhi in return: "Prime Minister."

Then, he looked at Jiang Shuo and Cao. Unexpectedly, Ji Yunzhi addressed Jiang Shuo and Cao like this.

It seems that there were unknown reasons behind Ji Yunzhi and Jiang Peilan's marriage besides what she knew.

Jiang Shuo also bowed back:

"My Lord Prime Minister, what happened?"

Ji Yunzhi raised his hand, and the servants behind him retreated.

"sit down."

Jiang Shuo and Cao were still a little hesitant, but Jiang Qingyue sat down directly.

Jiang Shuo frowned.

Before he could open his mouth, Ji Yunzhi spoke first.

"Miss Jiang is missing?"

"Ah..." Cao exclaimed, stood up and looked at Ji Yunzhi.

"What do you mean Lan'er is missing?"

Ji Yunzhi replied: "That is to say, Miss Jiang is no longer in my Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Not in the Prime Minister's Residence?"

Cao murmured, and after hearing this, she became anxious and blurted out:

"Is it because the Prime Minister doesn't like her that he locked her up, and then told us that she's missing so that he can put all the blame on her? Then, if Lan'er shows up again, her reputation will be ruined, and the Prime Minister can divorce her with a clear conscience?"

Cao said a series of words in one breath, and his questioning was obvious.

She knew that something was wrong with Jiang Peilan.

The last time I went back to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Peilan was one month pregnant, but she was not the prime minister's child.

At this moment, when she heard that Jiang Peilan was missing, her first reaction was that Ji Yunzhi knew about Jiang Peilan and was taking revenge on her.

After all, which man can stand this?

Besides, he is the Prime Minister.

When she came today, she guessed: Maybe some evidence was found against Jiang Peilan, or she was caught committing adultery. She never expected that Jiang Peilan was missing.

As long as they are not caught on the spot, everything will be fine, and I can also use this opportunity to survive the crisis of the baby in my belly.

Just as Cao was thinking about it, Ji Yunzhi spoke slowly:

"Miss Jiang eloped with the groom in the mansion."

"what……"

This sound was like a bolt from the blue, falling into the ears of Cao and Jiang Shuo.

Cao's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief:

"How is it possible? No, absolutely not. Lan'er would never do such a thing.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you have no evidence to support your claim. You cannot ruin Lan'er's reputation like this.

"Lan'er was raised by me, so maybe she is a little spoiled and ignorant, but she is sincere to the Prime Minister and would never do such a thing. There must be a misunderstanding."

As Cao spoke, she began to cry.

No matter whether this matter was true or false, she had to refute it first and firmly believe in her daughter.

If the matter was true, she could say a few words as an uninformed bystander.

"Mr. Prime Minister, no matter why Lan'er entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is now the Prime Minister's wife.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister really shouldn't slander Lan'er like this.

"My good daughter married into the Prime Minister's residence, but now she is missing. Shouldn't the Prime Minister give an explanation to the Jiang family?"

Cao burst into tears and directly put the blame on others.

Ji Yunzhi was not moved at all.

"Mrs. Jiang is so sure of Miss Jiang's innocence, and she repeatedly reiterates that it was Ben Xiang who framed and slandered Miss Jiang. It seems that she is just trying to cover up her mistake.

“If not, what Madam Jiang should do now is to ask the people around Miss Jiang, instead of questioning the truth here, wrongly accusing the truth, and trying to exonerate Miss Jiang.

"Or does Mrs. Jiang actually know everything?"

With just a few words, Ji Yunzhi turned the tables and hit the opponent directly in the weak spot.

Jiang Qingyue had a hunch that Ji Yunzhi had a backup plan and was just trying to trap Cao.

He never fights a battle unprepared.
