After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day
Chapter 21 Seize the opportunity
The Wang family wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, firstly by receiving an official position from the emperor, and secondly by marrying a noble lady from the capital, but why did they choose the Jiang family? Madam Wang and Chen's mother and daughter colluded secretly, what were they planning? Who was the man in black last night? Why did Xie Jingce help her?
A series of questions echoed in her mind. Even after thinking about her experiences in her previous life, she still couldn't figure it out. She couldn't even remember when the Wang family entered the capital. Perhaps Xie Jinghong had started to deal with the Ye family since the day she became queen.
"Miss, please don't fall asleep. The water is getting cold."
When she heard the sound of Chunhe stirring the bath water, Jiang Wanyue realized that she was bathing so comfortably that she almost fell asleep.
"You don't have to keep watch tonight. I want some quiet time." Jiang Wanyue opened her eyes and said lightly.
"I will go and tell Bu Jing later."
Chunhe wiped Jiang Wanyue's body clean and helped her put on clothes, then he packed up the cold water and went out, closing the door gently when he left.
Jiang Wanyue lay on the bed, closed her eyes and listened to the silence outside the window, with only the sound of the cool breeze blowing.
The Chen mother and daughter have suffered setbacks at her hands recently, and they will certainly find ways to retaliate. Of course, Jiang Wanyue has never believed that they will really give up.
So what will they do next...
Jiang Wanyue opened her eyes suddenly, got out of bed, casually put on a warm coat, picked up the lamp and walked out of the yard without disturbing her two personal maids.
It was almost late at night and the entire Bo Mansion was in darkness, with only Jiang Wanyue like a walking light.
The two guards at the door of the woodshed could not resist their sleepiness and fell asleep while sitting in front of the door. Jiang Wanyue just glanced at them and pushed the door open.
The pale yellow light instantly illuminated the small woodshed. Madam Kong, who was huddled in the corner shivering from the cold, noticed the light and slowly opened her eyes.
"Let's talk." Jiang Wanyue looked at Grandma Kong lying on the ground with an expressionless face.
Grandma Kong was startled by the sudden figure and thought it was a ghost coming to take her life in the middle of the night, but she knew who it was from the voice.
"If you are willing to agree to me, I will promise you to find a commoner family to raise your Xuan'er and free him from slavery." Jiang Wanyue pointed at Zhou Xuan who was sleeping soundly beside her.
Zhou Xuan was covered with a loose coat. Grandma Kong took off her own clothes and covered him with it. It was obvious that she cherished this grandson very much.
These past few days, Madam Kong has been locked up in the woodshed. She had relied on Chen's trust and appreciation, and had been thinking all day that Chen would come to rescue her. However, she overheard the guards chatting yesterday and learned that Chen had been under house arrest since the day Jiang Wanyue got married.
Madam Kong was a house-born child, and the whole family had to serve her in the Bo's mansion. Unfortunately, her husband died early, and her son and daughter-in-law were beaten to death for committing a crime, leaving the grandparents and grandchildren to depend on each other.
So from then on, Grandma Kong accepted her fate. She was old and could give up her life at any time, but her grandson was still young and should not suffer like this.
She originally thought that when Chen was made the legitimate wife in the future, her status would also rise. By then, when she had saved enough money, she could ask Chen for mercy and free her grandson from slavery.
It's really ridiculous that the person who finally proposed this condition was the eldest lady in the mansion who she thought was the easiest to bully.
But the opportunity is right in front of us, so we must seize it in time, right?
"Miss, what do you want me to do?" After thinking for a moment, Nanny Kong made a decision.
"It's very simple." Jiang Wanyue smiled, obviously very satisfied with Grandma Kong's attitude.
The moon is dim tonight, with only the shadows of the master and servant cast on the window.
An hour later, Jiang Wanyue walked out of the woodshed with a little boy beside her. Zhou Xuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and shrank back, not daring to approach Jiang Wanyue.
Jiang Wanyue didn't get angry. She coaxed him patiently and took him to the side room of Xiangyue Pavilion.
Jiang Wanyue seemed to have had a very pleasant conversation with Madam Kong. She was not sleepy at all. She picked up a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper. The dim candlelight reflected on Jiang Wanyue's face, adding a touch of softness.
At that time, the Prince Regent's Palace was also not in bed. Xie Jingce supported his chin with one hand, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, as if smiling.
"Oh? You said it was really Miss Jiang who broke Wang Hongyi's wrist?"
"It's absolutely true. I followed the woman in white all the way and saw her carriage enter the Earl's Mansion." A man in black said with his head down.
Xie Jingce thought of the woman who broke into Ye Mansion last night. She was able to escape from his hands with her skilled Qinggong skills, but the young lady of the Jiang family he met when he was in Ye Mansion before had no fighting skills at all.
However, judging from Jiang Wanyue's performance during the day, she seemed to have become much smarter. It was said that she was framed by her concubine sister and pushed into the lake, and her temperament changed drastically when she woke up.
If there was anyone who could fight him on equal terms, the only person he admitted was Ye Qingwu.
“It’s really getting more and more interesting.”
Xie Jingce knocked on the table, and the "dong dong" sound made people even more nervous and uneasy in the silent night.
"Keep staring."
"Yes."
Jiang Wanyue didn't put down her pen until the sky turned pale. She then blew dry the ink, carefully folded it and put it into a box, hiding it in a secret corner of the cabinet.
"It's on fire!"
Suddenly there was a shout outside, followed by a series of messy and tiny footsteps, and the crackling sound of water hitting fire.
Jiang Wanyue seemed to have expected this, but she still pretended to be anxious and opened the door, but happened to meet Chunhe walking towards her in a hurry.
"Miss, somehow the firewood room suddenly caught fire, but Madam Kong and her grandson are still locked up inside. Should we go and rescue them?"
Chunhe didn't know that all this was planned by Jiang Wanyue, but she knew that her lady still had a use for Nanny Kong. She came to ask because she was afraid that Nanny Kong would die in the fire.
"No need, let's go to Mingxuan." Jiang Wanyue looked towards the direction of the woodshed, where thick smoke was rising and the fire looked extremely fierce.
Although Chunhe didn't understand why, he felt that his young lady had become a different person since she woke up that day. She had her own opinions on everything, so he didn't suspect anything.
After Jiang Wanyue left Bu Jing to look after Zhou Xuan, she took Chunhe to Mingxuan.
God knows when Chunhe learned that Zhou Xuan suddenly appeared in Xiangyue Pavilion at this moment, his eyes widened and his mouth was so surprised that an egg was almost stuffed into it.
So out of trust in Chunhe, Jiang Wanyue told Chunhe along the way how she was going to persuade Grandma Kong.
By the time they finished speaking, the master and servant had already arrived at the door of Mingxuan.
In Mingxuan, Madam Kong's face was covered in black and white, and there were pieces of burnt cloth on her body. She looked miserable. She was kneeling on the ground crying without caring about her image: "Madam, I thought I would never see you again. I am so happy that I can come out alive to see you!"
Chen was also surprised when she saw Nanny Kong.
