After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

At the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Yan Yu was sitting on the bed wearing only a single piece of clothing. Next to her sat Shao Hong's wife, Jiang, who was also Yan Yu's third aunt.

Jiang is only about thirty years old this year. She has a straightforward personality and is pretty. At this moment, Jiang holds the account book in her hand and explains the details to Yan Yu in a gentle manner.

The Wen Mansion, Duke of Zhenguo, is a centuries-old family, so naturally they have a lot of savings.

Yan Yu was only four or five years old at the time, and all the family members were dead. Most of the relatives who came were eyeing the family property and wanted to take Yan Yu to raise him in their own homes. Fortunately, in the process, they slowly took over everything in the Zhenguo Mansion.

Jiang wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Yan'er, your uncle came to take care of what happened that year. Whatever the Shao family took away back then, they will bring back now. Your father and your brother died for the country. The Shao family will not bully a weak woman like you."

Yan Yu naturally knew it.

She has lived in her grandmother's house for these years, and everyone in the Shao family treats her like their own daughter.

Because Yan Yu had been engaged to the royal family since she was a child, even the servants in the mansion never dared to neglect her.

"Not only the Shao family has a copy of this bill, the emperor also has one." Jiang sighed, "Our emperor is a wise ruler. He remembers all the contributions that the ministers have made to the Wei Dynasty. He has even asked about your situation in the Shao Mansion over the years."

Yan Yu also wiped her tears and nodded gently.

Although she was frail, she had a long memory since she was a child. She had vague impressions when she was two or three years old. She vaguely remembered that her father and mother praised the current emperor in front of her, saying that the emperor had a heart for the world and was wise and brave.

Jiang raised her hand and stroked Yan Yu's face: "Although the King of Qin has a bad reputation outside, the Emperor has promised this marriage, and we cannot resist. My dear child, it is the Fifth Prince and Miss Wei who have let you down..."

Yan Yu shook his head gently: "Father always said that people in my Zhenguo Mansion must be loyal to the emperor and protect the country. If the emperor has an order, we naturally dare not disobey."

In fact, for Yan Yu, it doesn’t matter who she marries.

She had never met either the Fifth Prince or the King of Qin.

The Fifth Prince has a good reputation outside, but such a person with a good reputation actually got involved with his brother's fiancée. He is obviously a hypocrite.

As for the King of Qin, although he had a reputation for cruelty, no one had ever heard of him harming ordinary people or raping decent women. Most people said that he had a cold temper. When he went to the battlefield, he was very strict in disciplining his troops and was cruel to the enemy. During his years in the Ministry of Personnel, he frightened officials at all levels and was a very difficult person to get along with.

Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. We will talk about what will happen in the future later.

Yan Yu just couldn't believe that the other party dared to bully her when she was doing her job properly.

If she is really bullied, then she, the daughter of a general, will not be a pushover.

Although Yan Yu is not in good health, she is a weak person and she also has her fangs and claws, right?

Jiang nodded gently: "Good child, it's enough for you to understand these principles. Go to bed early. Your aunt will watch you sleep here."

Yan Yu hummed, took off the clothes he was wearing and put them aside, then lay down on the pillow and fell asleep after a while.

Jiang sighed.

They sent Yan Yu to the capital, but they couldn't stay here to watch over him all the time. After all, there were still many things waiting for them to deal with in Lingcheng.

Yan Yu grew up in the Shao Mansion over the years, and the people in the Shao Mansion had long treated her as their own daughter, especially Jiang. Since she and Shao Hong had no daughter, she treated Yan Yu as her own daughter.

Her daughter's marriage was snatched away, and people bullied her for having no father or mother. Jiang became more and more angry, and she paid out of her own pocket to buy some things for Yan Yu.

As a result, a few days later, when Jiang went out, she met Wei Ruxuan and Liu, the wife of the Minister of Rites, who were also working in the silk shop.

Wei Ruxuan and Liu were very proud of themselves. The shop owner praised their own satin: "This is new stuff from Jiangnan! The queens in the palace liked this one last year!"

Liu raised her chin proudly and said, "Our daughter will soon marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion and become his consort! Last year's style won't do. We want the most fashionable style in the palace this year."

The boss smiled and said, "So it's Miss Wei. Congratulations! Congratulations!"

How could the boss possibly get the most fashionable material in the palace this year for them? It was already amazing that he could get last year's material! If he had this ability, he would have directly paid tribute to the Queen Mother and the Empress!

Jiang looked Wei Ruxuan up and down, and the more she looked, the worse she felt. She thought that the Fifth Prince was really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Jiang came over and picked out some nice patterns and colors, planning to go back and make some new clothes for Yan Yu's maids.

The master is getting married, so these maids have to dress up properly.

The rest will be kept for Yan Yu to reward others. After all, there is no shortage of people making connections in the capital.

As for Yan Yu's clothes, they were all made of materials from home, and were made stitch by stitch by the embroiderer from Lingcheng. Yan Yu's sewing skills were also quite good, and they were much better than the ready-made clothes sold outside.

The boss smiled and said, "People in the capital originally thought that Miss Wen was betrothed to the Fifth Prince, but it turns out that the Imperial Observatory got the birthday wrong!"

Liu curled her lips and said, "How can she, a sickly woman who died early, be worthy of the Fifth Prince? Isn't she afraid of shortening the Fifth Prince's lifespan?"

Jiang's temper could no longer be contained: "What do you mean? Your shameless daughter seduced another man with a marriage, and she also falsely accused the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion of being a sickly woman?"

Liu looked at Jiang and felt that she was unfamiliar. She had never seen her before in the capital. She thought that she was not the wife of a high-ranking official. Her face suddenly darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang sneered, "So the people of the Zhenguo Mansion lost their lives for the Wei Dynasty, and this is how you talk about his daughter."

Liu has been arrogant in the capital for so many years, and this is the first time someone dares to jump in his face.

Jiang refused to reveal her identity. She had two maids by her side, but they were sent to a nearby shop to look at silk.

Liu was furious. Wei Ruxuan couldn't stand being insulted like that, so she asked the strong woman behind her to hold Jiang down and slapped her seven or eight times, making her cheeks red and swollen and her eyes full of stars.

Wei Ruxuan glanced at Jiang coldly and said, "You should have been killed for offending the future prince's consort. But today I am in a good mood, so I will spare your life."

At this time, Jiang's two maids came over with their things. When they saw Jiang being pinned to the ground, they were so frightened that their souls left their bodies: "Third Madam! Third Madam! What's wrong with you?!"

Wei Ruxuan sneered.

Oh, I wonder which blind official’s concubine or third wife she is!
