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

At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ji Yunzhi asked about the situation in the Xue Mansion.

The guard answered one by one and recounted what happened in the Xue Mansion.

Ji Yunzhi said: "Then uproot the Sun family as well..."

"Yes."

Death is so easy, it's too easy for them.

He wanted everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to suffer.

He would destroy everything they wanted.

They wanted the Marquis' Mansion to prosper, so he would make it fall apart.

Not only has it lost its former glory, but it is also being trampled underfoot and despised by the world.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion had to watch helplessly as the Mansion collapsed.

To kill someone is to kill one's heart.

They bullied Jiang Qingyue, and he wanted to get revenge for her one by one.

only……

Thinking of Jiang Qingyue and Dong Lingyan, Ji Yunzhi clenched his hands tightly at his sides.

Qifeng Villa.

Jiang Qingyue took a nap under the flower tree.

When I woke up, the sky was a little gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain.

But the climate is still warm.

Before we know it, it’s almost May. Time flies.

Jiang Qingyue stretched and woke up, not knowing whether it was afternoon or morning. She liked these days where she forgot about time, without any burden or rules.

At the side, Lu Huan was making tea. The faint tea fragrance wafted over, which was very pleasant.

"Miss, wake up."

Jiang Qingyue hummed, took the tea she handed over, and took a sip.

It is the best pre-rain Longjing.

Lu Huan had a smile on her face: "Miss, you still need to sleep. If not, I will tell you about the latest news in the capital."

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "But is there any news from the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue leaned slightly to the side and looked at Lu Huan with interest.

"I will tell you about the Marquis' Mansion later. First, let me tell you something else. There is some news coming out of the palace."

"Oh." Jiang Qingyue looked a little surprised.

Normally, anything that happens in the palace will not be spread outside.

If this gets out, it will definitely cause a big commotion.

Seeing Lu Huan so excited, she guessed that something had happened to Nie Qianjin.

"It's the imperial concubine."

Jiang Qingyue showed a look of understanding.

really.

"Before, Concubine Li had a child, and she always thought that the servants didn't take good care of her, so she died. Yesterday, a concubine in the palace lost something, and when she investigated the palace servants, she dug up the original incident.

"It was done by the Imperial Concubine. There is evidence of guilt."

"Oh, and how is she now?"

"He has been confined now. Once the truth is found, he will be convicted.

"Miss, do you think the imperial concubine is going to be in trouble this time?"

Jiang Qingyue shook her head: "It's hard to say."

If it was in the past, with Dong Lingyan's protection, Nie Qianjin would be fine. But now without Dong Lingyan's protection, Nie Qianjin could only leave it to fate.

However, the incident happened so long ago, and now it is suddenly brought up. Even if there are witnesses and evidence, I am afraid it will not be able to stand up to scrutiny, otherwise it should have been exposed long ago.

However, after something like this happened, Nie Qianjin would definitely not have time to cause trouble for her, which was a good thing for her.

"Miss, there is one more thing. Today, the General's Mansion sent another note saying that General Dongling is seriously ill and asked Miss to go and see him."

"I will not go."

"Yes, next time you come, I will answer the same way."

"Ah."

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue looked unhappy, Lu Huan immediately changed the subject:

“It’s quite lively over at the Marquis’ Mansion today.

"The Xue family is making a big fuss. The old lady pretends to be dead and doesn't show up to see anyone. The eldest wife just cries and doesn't help at all. The concubines are hiding.

"Prince Xue went to meet the Xue family members, but they refused to show any respect and only wanted money.

"Miss, your guess is correct. Prince Xue went to the Sun residence. I don't know what they talked about, but Aunt Sun followed the prince back to the Marquis' residence. Then, it was rumored that Prince Xue wanted to make Aunt Sun his wife."

Jiang Qingyue smiled:

"Very good, Aunt Chu should cry now."

Chu Wan'er must be unwilling to accept this happening, she is not someone who is easy to deal with.

Everyone loves to watch the dog-eat-dog drama.

The next day.

Not long after Jiang Qingyue had breakfast, Zi Su came to pass on a message:

"Miss, the Prime Minister is here."

Jiang Qingyue glanced outside and said, "Please come in."

"Yes."

As soon as Ji Yunzhi entered the room, he saw Jiang Qingyue sitting under the grape trellis and drinking tea.

It's a sunny day today, and she is wearing a pink dress, which makes her look even more beautiful against the backdrop of green leaves.

"The Prime Minister is here, please take a seat."

Ji Yunzhi sat down as she said, picked up the tea she handed over, took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea filled the air, refreshing and aromatic.

"I saw four big characters on the door: You've changed your forehead."

"Yes."

"The word Qifeng is very good."

"Yes, I think it's good too. I fell in love with it at first sight when we went shopping."

Ji Yunzhi took out a box and said, "This is for you. It's a gift for your new home."

"Is there such a thing as the ceremony for the new courtyard?"

"Of course. You've lived in this courtyard for so long, and now you've given it a name, so it can be considered a belated housewarming gift."

Jiang Qingyue took the box and opened it. She saw a paper bag wrapped in a cloth bag inside and asked, "What is this?"

"Seeds, seeds of all kinds of flowers. These are enough to plant all over the courtyard. Every day when you open your eyes, you can see flowers of all seasons."

"Thank you, Prime Minister. You are so thoughtful."

"As long as you like it."

Jiang Qingyue opened them and took a look. Each package had a label written on it, which was Ji Yunzhi's handwriting.

Ji Yunzhi said: "Jiang Peilan is coming back."

Jiang Qingyue raised her head and looked over: "Oh, does the Jiang family know?"

"I don't know. I just want to resolve this matter quickly."

"The Prime Minister's decision is of course a good one."

"It won't end well for them."

"I feel so too."

Ji Yunzhi paused, looked at her, and seemed to muster up the courage to speak:

"I didn't do well at the beginning."

"There is no need to talk about the past anymore, we should all look forward."

"I... owe you an explanation. I want to say it. Can you give me a chance to explain? No matter what decision you make, I want an explanation for our relationship. This is my respect for you."

Jiang Qingyue paused as she held the teapot, and a gust of wind blew overhead.

It's like when I was a young girl, with the breeze blowing along the willows by the river.

At that time, the two were childhood sweethearts.

She put down the teapot and responded:

"Please speak, Prime Minister."

Such a distant attitude made Ji Yun feel depressed.

Ji Yunzhi sat up straighter and looked at Jiang Qingyue.

“When I went to the northwest, I didn’t expect that I would be gone for so long. If I had known it would take so long, I would have gone to the Jiang Mansion to get engaged early.

“When I was in the northwest, I sent you many letters, but I later learned that in order to avoid our group being exposed, all the letters were intercepted by my then superior.

"When I came back, you were already married. I looked for you many times, but I knew you didn't want to see me.

"It was during that time that Jiang Peilan schemed against me and I was forced to marry her. I couldn't let anything happen to me.

"First, my teacher has been so kind to me, and I don't want to let him down. Second, I need to be powerful so that I can protect you.

"Although I was forced to marry her, I did marry her, and I have to admit my mistakes. I was not fully grown at that time, and if you force me to clear my name, it would definitely implicate you.

"At that time, there was no other way except to marry her.

"Jiang Peilan thought she had me in her hands, but I don't know if it was just because she accidentally used you to do it. She hit my soft spot.

“Since we got married, I haven’t consummated the marriage with her, and I haven’t even had a meal with her.

"It has been delayed until now because I have the identity of your brother-in-law, and I can protect you openly.

"From the beginning to the end, my feelings towards you have never changed.

"I'm telling you this today because I want you to know that I had no choice and was forced to do it. But I also know clearly that no matter what my reasons and excuses are, I did something wrong, and it's wrong. No matter how you blame me, I will admit it.

“I am being punished now, watching you suffer so much but being unable to do anything.

"I know very well how difficult it is for two people to meet and know each other in this vast sea of ​​people, so I want to strive for it.

“I hope you can give me a chance to make amends with the rest of my life.

"Before, I thought I was doing you a good deed by letting Xue Feimu return to the capital from the border. This is my fault.

"Today I confess everything to you. I want to ask for your forgiveness and also for a chance, a chance for me to make amends.

"You...you can choose not to forgive me or give me a chance. You are free. I am just expressing to you what is in my heart.

"If you no longer have feelings for me, I will do my best to give you wings and let you fly. If you still have feelings for me, I will make sure you are happy for the rest of your life!"

Ji Yunzhi's voice fell softly, and Jiang Qingyue could feel the trembling in his voice.

And the expectation in his eyes.

The surroundings were silent, and the large leaves under the grape trellis swayed in the wind, making a slight rustling sound.

Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything, and Ji Yunzhi didn't force it:

"You don't have to answer me in a hurry. I came here today just to tell you what I think.

"You said before that you liked Jiangnan. This time when I went to Jiangnan, I bought a house that looks like what you like. I have seen all the servants and housekeepers, and they are all in this box."

After Ji Yunzhi finished speaking, he stood up and left.

That back figure seemed to be running away.

Jiang Qingyue sat on the chair and looked at the box of seeds on the table.

She remembered that once upon a time, the two of them went to climb a wall together. She forgot which mansion it was, but the mansion was full of flowers.

Her eyes sparkled with envy, and she said she also wanted such a big yard, preferably in the south of the Yangtze River.

That year, he left without saying goodbye and there was no news of him.

Later, when he came back, she had been forced to marry in his place.

Only later did she realize that during her three years in the Marquis' Mansion, someone had been silently helping her.

Otherwise, as she was just a girl in her teens and no one in the Jiang family stood up for her, it would have been impossible for her to get things done so smoothly.

She thought about what he had just said.

Sentence by sentence.

If it were in the past, she felt that she would not have forgiven him.

But after a lifetime and a new life, she seems to be able to think more open-mindedly.

At that time, he was only a teenager. He could not predict the future and had not experienced much in the world, so he did not know what would happen in the future.

Just like her, if she had the same mentality as she has now, she would never have agreed to be married off no matter what.

Not everyone is born smart enough to not make any wrong decisions. If you know what you can do and what you can't do, you can choose the most correct path for yourself.

In fact, everyone regrets after they have suffered a lot. If I could do it again, I would definitely not do it this way.

She could sense his guilt.

Until now, there is only one thing left: fate plays tricks on us.

Jiang Qingyue sat under the grape trellis, half-opened her eyes, watching the wind blowing the leaves, her gaze a little dazed.

Then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in the wind.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

She seems to be particularly fond of sleeping recently, probably because her life has been comfortable.

She likes this kind of life very much.

Seeing that she woke up, Lu Huan came over with some hot tea.

"Miss, are you hungry? I'll bring you some food."

"Not hungry." Jiang Qingyue poured herself a cup of tea, and Lu Huan brought some snacks over:

"This is a new dessert made by Yun's Pastry Shop, please try it, young lady.

She picked up a piece and tasted it: "Mm, not bad, smooth and delicious."

"Miss, there is new news from the Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Qingyue smiled: "You've almost become a storyteller recently."

"Hehe." Lu Huan said excitedly:

"Today, Master Xue made Aunt Sun his wife and had her listed in the family tree at the ancestral hall."

"It moves quickly."

"It has to be done quickly. The Xue family only gave the Marquisate three days. But Aunt Sun did not live in Jinse Courtyard. Instead, she built Zhuxiang Courtyard and prepared it as the new residence of the main courtyard."

"Oh."

That courtyard was right next to the study. Chu Wan'er had lived there for a day before she moved to the remote Miaowenyuan.

Now, Sun Xiaoxiao has set her eyes on that place, and Chu Wan'er must be feeling very uncomfortable.

"Yes, Aunt Chu has already made a scene, but it was useless, and she was even slapped by the prince.

"Mrs. Sun has been promoted to the position of the legitimate wife. The Sun Mansion has sent a large gift, which has resolved the crisis of the Marquis' Mansion. All the money has been put aside. The Marquis' Mansion has paid double the monthly salary to the servants today."

Jiang Qingyue's eyes dimmed.

It seemed like things were going well, but she didn't like it.

She is a narrow-minded person and doesn't want to see the Marquis's Mansion live a good life.

Since her rebirth, she has had only two goals:

One is to protect your real relatives.

The second is to make all those who have harmed me receive the retribution they deserve.

"Jiang Hao, the brother-in-law of Censor Jiang, has a grudge against the Sun family. Have someone quietly pass on some information..."

She remembered that two people died in the Sun family's farm, but the incident was suppressed. She wanted someone to expose it, preferably to the Jingzhao government office.

Mrs. Sun is rich, but no matter how much money she has, she cannot overcome power.

The people do not fight against the officials, and businessmen do not fight against the powerful.

If something like this happened, not only would Mrs. Sun's family not help the Sun family, they would also try to distance themselves from the matter.

Human life is at stake, so a huge amount of money will certainly be spent on the negotiation. Two lives are enough to empty the Sun family.

Then the matter of the eldest son of the Sun family forcibly abducting a woman was exposed.

A portion of the money given to the Marquis' Mansion must be returned to save the Sun family. It is only right to reciprocate and we cannot just stand by and watch them die.

By this time, the Sun family's house was almost empty.

Without the help of the Sun family, the Marquis's Mansion would be in chaos.

She would find another opportunity to expose the fact that Xue Feimu was a deserter.

The Marquis' Mansion is over.
