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

Qifeng Villa.

Jiang Qingyue sat in the yard reading since she got up in the morning.

It's noon now and we are having lunch.

Lu Huan stood at one side and vividly recounted the story about Jiang Peilan that was circulating outside.

Zi Su on the side spread her hands and said, "Okay, Miss, we don't even need to go to Jiang's house."

Jiang Qingyue put down her chopsticks: "Well, you don't have to go."

Lu Huan: "It's a pity that I didn't make it to the scene."

Jiang Qingyue: "I think it's quite interesting."

Lu Huan: "This young lady is really asking for trouble."

Zi Su was curious about what happened next, so she asked Lu Huan, "What else? What else? What happened next? What happened after she heard the Prime Minister hang up the divorce agreement?"

"I just fainted."

"Ah, after he fainted, there was no further news?"

When Lu Huan heard Zi Su's question, she burst into laughter:

"She fainted, so Aunt Cao sent her to the side room to rest and called a doctor to see her. The doctor said she was fine.

"I heard that the eldest daughter woke up once and started crying and making a fuss. Aunt Cao's yard was in turmoil.

"Aunt Cao was afraid that Lord Jiang would find out, so she sent many people outside to surround them, and also placed several maids in the room to keep watch.

“She was just coaxed and told a bunch of nice things, but the young lady didn’t buy a thing.

"Now the people in the Jiang Mansion are charging money for spreading this news. I also spent one or two taels of silver. I asked the maid in the flower room and the maid who delivered snacks.

"The news has spread all over the capital. Someone even came forward, claiming to be a friend of the groom who was the lover of the young lady, and told how the young lady Jiang eloped with the groom.

"It's very well said, even more exciting than a storyteller. Now everyone in the streets of the capital is talking about this matter.

"In addition to condemning the eldest lady, everyone is more sympathetic to the Prime Minister.

"But sympathy is sympathy. As soon as the Prime Minister signed the divorce letter, many matchmakers came to propose marriage to him. Many ladies want to marry their daughters into the Prime Minister's mansion."

Zi Su was surprised: "Mr. Prime Minister? How dare the matchmaker come to your house?"

Marriages for ordinary families would naturally be arranged by matchmakers, but for a prime minister of his status, this was completely unnecessary.

"You don't know this. There are too many people eyeing the Prime Minister's Mansion right now. Those ladies are afraid that others will get there first, so some of them don't care about etiquette."

"The Prime Minister is a popular figure."

When Lu Huan said this, she glanced at Jiang Qingyue and muttered to herself, not knowing what her young lady was thinking. It would be perfect if her young lady could be with the Prime Minister.

At this moment, Xiao Wu knocked on the gate outside. Zi Su went to open the door and took a letter from Xiao Wu. It was the message they asked the outsiders to receive.

She gave the letter to Lu Huan, who opened it and read it.

"What was written? What happened?"

After reading it, Lu Huan replied:

"The outside world has spread the glorious deeds of Miss Jiang in a very detailed way. Those things are unbearable to hear. They have already reached the Jiang family and Miss Jiang's ears. Miss Jiang can't stand it and wants the Prime Minister to come forward and clarify for her.

"But she couldn't see the Prime Minister, so she asked Aunt Cao to find a way. Aunt Cao didn't dare to go. Miss Jiang was resentful and argued with her for a while. Everything in the yard was smashed."

Zi Su: "This Miss Jiang is really confused. Even at this time, she still can't see the situation clearly. At this time, she is actually going against Aunt Cao."

Jiang Qingyue: "Cao must have fainted from anger."

Lu Huan: "Yes, I fainted from anger, but you can't imagine what Miss Jiang did.

"Aunt Cao fainted from anger. Instead of caring for her, she slipped away, trying to prove her innocence. But she didn't go too far. She only explained to those who came to inquire about the news at the gate of Jiang's house.

"It would have been better if she didn't explain. This explanation was confirmed. After a few questions, everything was exposed. For example, someone asked her where she went, and she said she went to a temple outside the city to burn incense and pray. People asked which temple and which courtyard, and she did tell them, but the maid's master happened to be there in the crowd and lived in the courtyard she mentioned, so she exposed her. Later, she asked other questions, but Miss Jiang couldn't match any of them.

"Everyone said she was a liar, evil and stupid. Miss Jiang was unable to answer a single question and returned home in disgrace.

"When Aunt Cao found out about this, she beat Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang was so angry that she started fighting with Aunt Cao."

Zi Su's eyes widened: "It's such a big deal? Then what? Was Miss Jiang sent away?"

Lu Huan shook her head: "Miss Jiang asked Aunt Cao to ask Lord Jiang to help her restore her reputation. Aunt Cao disagreed, and the two of them had an argument. In order to threaten Aunt Cao, Miss Jiang directly hit her head against the pillar and killed her."

"Ah...what do you mean by knocking someone to death?"

"Miss Jiang didn't want to die, she just wanted to threaten Aunt Cao, but she didn't expect that she would be killed."

"Ah... this... is really... indescribable."

Jiang Qingyue asked, "What about Aunt Cao?"

"Madam Cao went crazy on the spot, shouting and screaming. When she came to, the person had already been carried away."

Shisu asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Huan whispered: "Master Jiang has taken action.

"Miss Jiang was covered in wounds and was immediately buried in a thin coffin. She was treated as a maid in the mansion who had died suddenly. She was carried to a mass grave and buried in a pit.

"Lord Jiang announced to the public that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was troubled by rumors and had been sent to the family temple. She will be accompanied by the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life and will not be allowed to leave until she dies."

"It's true, you will suffer the consequences if you do evil. Miss Jiang is such a person that she will die tomorrow if not today, just to force her own mother."

Jiang Qingyue: "Mrs. Cao won't be able to recover for a while. It's just right. I can say she's sick and want her life. After a few days, I can spread all the deeds of her son.

"Let those illegitimate sons and daughters in the Jiang Mansion who have been bullied by him do it. I think they should be happy to expose the evil deeds of this brother.

"Death is so easy, she wants Cao to live in pain."

In the afternoon, Lu Huan sent another message mysteriously:

"Aunt Chu returned to the Xue family's old house."

Jiang Qingyue was watering the flowers with a pot in her hand. When she heard this, she stopped what she was doing and raised her eyebrows:

"Oh, they've reconciled?"

"No, Aunt Chu openly engaged in sex trade in the Xue family's old house, but she kept all the money for herself. Sometimes, she would have sex with others in front of the Xue family's heir...

“Business is booming.

"After Aunt Chu got the money, she dressed herself up beautifully and refused to talk to the Xue family's young master. But I heard that every time she called him..."

Lu Huan didn’t know how to describe the following words.

His face looked very embarrassed.

"Xue Feimu has lost his temper at all."

"In my opinion, he dared not get angry. After all, he was the one who personally sent Madam Chu to those people and exchanged her for silver. Those people... Madam Chu must have suffered a lot.

"I can see that these two will never reconcile. They will just torture each other like this."

Jiang Qingyue said calmly: "It is indeed the best ending for them to see their enemies every day."

"Where's Bai Wei?"

"Bai Wei didn't receive any guests. I don't know if she had made an agreement with Aunt Chu that she would serve Aunt Chu and Aunt Chu would give her some money. The two of them only cared about themselves and didn't care about others. But Aunt Chu and Bai Wei didn't get along."

"Now, everyone in that area knows that the Xue family's old house is engaged in the flesh trade. Many people go there for Aunt Chu, and many people go there for the chance to act in front of Master Xue. In short, business is booming."

"What about the old lady?"

“Ever since Bai Wei’s child died, the old lady has gone a little crazy.

"She was awakened by Bai Wei's slaps one after another. After she came to, she was still bossy and acted like an old lady in a marquis's mansion, but Bai Wei ignored her and beat her into submission.

"Now I chop wood, boil water, wash clothes, do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and serve a few people. Just like a servant.

"She didn't dare not do it, because if she didn't, Bai Wei would beat her up. Bai Wei showed her no mercy at all.

"Moreover, several times it happened in front of Master Xue. Master Xue saw it but pretended not to see it. He even looked on indifferently as Bai Wei slapped the old lady.

"Mrs. Chu treated her even worse. When the guests asked the old lady to be present, Mrs. Chu would bring them directly to the old lady's room and...

"The old house is really a mess now."

Bai Wei will not let the old lady have an easy life, and Chu Wan'er will also deal with the old lady. These two people will definitely not let the old lady have an easy life.

This is it, evildoers will be punished by evildoers.

"Miss, also, Master Xue often goes to the vicinity of the Sun family. He was discovered by the Sun family, and Madam Sun has quietly sent Sun Xiaoxiao out of the capital. She wants to go out and avoid the limelight.

"But I don't even dare to go to her grandparents' house..."

After listening to Lu Huan, Jiang Qingyue said, "So, Sun Xiaoxiao will never be able to return to Beijing in this lifetime."

She went to a place where she was unfamiliar with the place, separated from her family, and had no one to protect her. She had to be alert all the time, wondering if anyone would find her. She was isolated and always worried, and her life was very difficult.

Jiang Qingyue slept well that night.

When I woke up early the next morning, I saw the fruits on the grape trellis outside the window seemed to have grown bigger, and I felt happy.

Lu Huan came over to report: "Miss, the Prime Minister is here."

"Invite him in."

"Yes."

Ji Yunzhi entered the yard and immediately saw Jiang Qingyue standing under the grape trellis looking at the grapes.

She had her back to him, her hair untied, hanging long behind her head. The wind blew her hair up, and the morning sun shone from the side, casting a layer of warm golden light on her white dress, making her look as beautiful as an immortal in the mirror.

"The county lord."

Every time he saw her, he was so polite.

He refused to overstep the line even a little, fearing that he would displease her.

"Qingyue greets the Prime Minister." She returned the greeting.

Ji Yunzhi looked at her without saying anything. Jiang Qingyue came over and gestured to him:

"Prime Minister, please take a seat."

"Thank you." Ji Yunzhi sat down.

Lu Huan immediately served tea and several stacks of snacks, pointing at a plate of red bean cakes:

"Prime Minister, please try this red bean pastry. It was made by our young lady herself yesterday."

After saying this, Lu Huan retreated.

Ji Yunzhi looked at the snacks on the table, picked up a piece of red bean cake and put it in his mouth.

"delicious."

Jiang Qingyue on the opposite side smiled slightly, picked up the teapot and poured tea for him.

Ji Yunzhi ate one more piece before stopping and saying to Jiang Qingyue:

"Have you been to the Jiang family?"

"I didn't have time. Just when I was about to go back, the incident had already happened. There was no need to go back. I heard the same thing from people outside.

"It's OK if the bad guys get their comeuppance."

"I should have told you earlier so you could be prepared."

Jiang Qingyue chuckled: "Actually, you don't have to do this."

"No, it's just a favor. You don't have to feel pressured."

“Thank you very much.

"What I did...wasn't any good thing."

"It's okay. I'm not a good person, but I want to protect you."

These words caused ripples in Jiang Qingyue's heart.

She neither denied her feelings nor suppressed her desire.

It's just that she has lost some courage, and she may need some time.

She didn’t know if it would take a long time, or if others would have the patience, and she didn’t want to guess, so she just let things take their own course.

After going through so much, it’s not that she doesn’t believe in the love and affection of others, she’s even too lazy to think about it.

I feel that:

Just keep moving forward.

If we come together, we will be together naturally.

It happened naturally, very good.

Wherever we go, we each take a different fork in the road.

It's also good to go our separate ways.

For her now, every result is acceptable and she accepts every result.

Ji Yunzhi said: "I am divorced now."

"I know."

“I want to tell you in person.

"I also want to tell you that as long as you are willing, you are always welcome in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"I don't want to think about this right now."

"Okay. Whenever you want, it's never too late. Whenever you need me, I'm here."

Ji Yunzhi drank a cup of tea she poured:

"Don't worry, I won't rush you, I have a lifetime to wait.

“You can take your time thinking about it, you can take your time.

"I came here today mainly to tell you that I have taken care of everything around me."

"Thank you for your hard work." She picked up the teapot to refill his tea without noticing the person sitting opposite her. Her eyes turned red when she heard these words.

Obviously, she was the one who suffered the most.

"I brought you some gifts, see if you like them."

He waved behind him, and a row of maids came in one after another.

He was holding a tray in his hands, covered with a cloth.

They removed the cloth almost at the same time, and the contents appeared clearly before her eyes.

Gold, silver, jewelry, clothes... a dazzling array of items, everything you can imagine.

"Have you moved all the warehouses here?"

"No, I bought these outside. I didn't know what you like, so I bought everything I liked. You can pick the ones you like. For the ones you don't like, you can keep them as rewards or give them away. It's up to you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

"You're welcome, my lady."
