The Crown Princess is reborn, and the three treasures compete to burn the family tree
Chapter 46: Lowly Country Girl
Xie Yulang stared at Doctor Qin, "She doesn't have enough scars on her body!"
He wanted Xie Yan to suffer, and to pay her back a thousand times for all the harm she had done to Jiang Li!
Xie Yan had often scolded Jiang Li in front of him before, calling her an ugly freak with scars and a disfigured face.
He was simply giving someone a taste of his own medicine.
Let Xie Yan experience for herself what it feels like to be called an ugly woman and to wear a veil all day long.
But the previous lesson was not enough, Xie Yan still dared to harm Jiang Li.
Well, this time, let her be covered with ugly scars and she won’t even dare to go out.
Old Doctor Qin bent lower and lower and nodded timidly.
"Yes, everything is up to you, Master Yulang."
"very good."
Xie Yulang finally revealed a satisfied smile, took out a bag of gold and stuffed it into Doctor Qin's hand.
"Prescribe some medicine for her. Whatever is left is yours. As for me, I only care about the final result."
Time flies and it is the sixth day of March, the day of the banquet at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
But early in the morning, it rained heavily, and the fine rain curtain washed the sky wantonly, and there was no sign of stopping for a short time.
Jiang Li looked at the water flowing down from the eaves outside the window with a serious expression.
There is usually little rain in spring, but this year it first snowed in February and now it is raining heavily again.
The spring day, which had been warming up, suddenly turned cold again.
"This kind of climate change is not normal. Could it be related to the great famine?"
Recalling the great famine that spread across most of the southern part of the Great Zhou two years later in his previous life, Jiang Li suddenly had a sad speculation in his heart.
Such a disaster would not have occurred in one year, but should have begun to show signs about 130 years ago.
Abnormal climate is the most obvious trigger.
Qingzhu walked in holding a cloak, interrupting Jiang Li's thoughts.
"Princess, it's almost time. We can go to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."
"Qingzhu, you don't have to go with me to the Anguo Mansion today."
Jiang Li stood up and put on the cloak that Qingzhu brought.
"You just need to arrange the carriage and the ceremony. Tomorrow morning, I will set off for Rongdu in Shu. There is no time to waste."
Her expression was quite serious and solemn.
This was the beginning of that disaster.
She had not realized it in advance in her previous life, and there was only a limit to what she could do during the famine. The number of people she saved was only a handful compared to the millions of living beings.
In her next life, she already had awareness of the situation and could not just sit back and do nothing.
Even if she saves one more person, it will accumulate more merit for her children.
She had originally planned to go to Rongdu in Shu and then to Huaiqing, but now she had no time to waste.
"Eh!"
Qingzhu nodded. She didn’t know why Jiang Li suddenly wanted to travel so far away, and to Shu, a place he had never been to before.
But since it was what Jiang Li wanted to do, she had no choice but to agree.
Jiang Li's expression softened slightly, and he led Yuzhi out of the house and headed towards the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
Generally speaking, banquets start at noon and guests just need to arrive before noon.
The customary rule is to arrive about an hour in advance, at around 9:00 p.m., to be considered rude.
When Jiang Li's carriage arrived outside the Anguo Mansion, it was neither early nor late, just after half past the si hour.
only……
Yuzhi looked at the empty streets and the unusually quiet Anguo Mansion. It didn't look like a place for a banquet at all.
She moved a little closer to the car window and whispered, "Princess, something is wrong."
Although they had already expected that the banquet at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion would be a Hongmen Banquet.
However, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion did not conceal its behavior at all and was too unscrupulous.
Jiang Li lifted the car curtain slightly and looked at the closed door and the deserted street.
As she expected, Mrs. Chen did not hold a banquet.
Yuzhi didn't know that this was the usual arrogance of Mrs. Chen, the wife of Duke Anguo.
Being able to trick a concubine's daughter into returning home by holding an invitation under the pretext of hosting a banquet was already considered humiliating in Mrs. Chen's eyes.
If the Duke of Anguo's Mansion really held a banquet, it would be even more painful than killing Madam Chen.
Jiang Li chuckled, "It's okay, not having a real banquet is just what I want, go and send the invitations."
"Yes."
Yuzhi held an umbrella and went forward to knock on the door.
But the closed door was slow to open.
In a quarter of an hour, dampness mixed with coldness climbed up the lapels of his clothes.
The gatekeeper and several maids and servants were roasting warm charcoal fire inside the gate.
The concierge rubbed his hands and put on a smile.
"Madame Gui, it's been a while, can we let them in?"
In this kind of weather, Jiang Li would not be cold even if he was left waiting in the rain, even if he was riding in a carriage.
However, her maids and servants could not avoid it.
Everyone in the Anguo Mansion knew that Jiang Li was notoriously soft-hearted when she was at home.
She cared a lot about the servants around her and would not let them suffer any grievances.
In the past, whenever Madam Chen and the eldest lady wanted to punish Jiang Li, they would just take the maidservant around Jiang Li and Jiang Li would obey them obediently.
Sometimes the torture was so severe that Jiang Li would even fall ill for several months out of guilt.
So, although this is not a stick falling on the body, it is better than a stick.
The maidservant was suffering from cold and freezing in the rain, and the one who was suffering was Jiang Li herself.
"Humph! It's only been a quarter of an hour. Leave her alone for a while longer and then let her in."
Nanny Gui, the second-class maid beside Madam Chen, smiled coldly with a look of arrogance on her face.
"We need to make the Second Miss understand that even if she marries into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and becomes the Crown Prince's Consort, but!"
After a pause, her pair of slanted eyes revealed full of pride and arrogance.
"In the Anguo Mansion, she would have to bow her head obediently and know that she is a lowly country girl."
"Yes Yes!"
The concierge smiled and complimented, "It's as it should be!"
“Boring!”
"what sound?"
"Like the sound of a gong!"
The doorman widened his eyes, walked quickly out of the small door and looked towards the main entrance.
"哐————"
A louder gong sound came from the main door.
"Clang-clang-clang-"
Nanny Gui also followed out, her face gloomy and her expression very unhappy.
"Who dares to beat the gongs and drums outside the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion? How outrageous! Where are the servants? Go and tie him up immediately!"
"This……"
The gatekeeper was shocked. The Anguo Duke's Mansion was a high-ranking family, and usually there were servants in front of the gate to prevent strangers from approaching.
Today the door was locked on purpose to lock Jiang Li and his group outside to humiliate them.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, someone was making trouble outside the door.
The doorman hesitated and said, "But if we let the servant go out at this time, wouldn't we have to let the second young lady in?"
"Humph!"
Nanny Gui raised her head, a fierce look on her face, and looked like she had a plan in mind.
"That's fine. Tell her to get off the carriage directly after entering the house. There's no need to get a sedan chair. She can just walk to the main hall!"
Aunt Gui has a loud voice and her tone is a few notes higher.
Jiang Li was in poor health, especially after her face was disfigured in an accident seven years ago. She was hastily married into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. It was heard that her health was getting worse and worse, and she had been hiding in the Marquis' Mansion for many years and had never appeared.
Although I went to the banquet at Prince Yong's Mansion some time ago, and also went to the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace a few days ago.
Rumor has it that the wound on her face has healed and she is in good health.
He even joined forces with Prince Yong's Palace to plot against the Imperial Concubine and snatch her title of Goddess of Flowers.
However, it was not an easy task for a pampered lady to walk all the way from the gate of Anguo Mansion to the main hall.
Even if Jiang Li is in good health now, he will get sick again later.
Oh, maybe Jiang Li will never get sick again.
"Yes!"
The gatekeeper felt relieved and immediately ordered the servants to go out through the small corner door.
Nanny Gui was also among them, and she was muttering to herself.
"I want to see who is so bold... Second Miss!"
Nanny Gui’s eyes almost popped out of her head and her voice changed in shock.
The person sitting in front of the gate of Anguo Mansion with a cup of fragrant tea in his hand is Jiang Li!
