Cousin Chitose Chitose

Jiang Yuanwan's eyes turned around the faces of the two of them. It just so happened that the two of them did not know how to do it. Their facial features looked ordinary, and they belonged to the kind that would be difficult to be noticed when thrown in the crowd.

They are all people who have practiced martial arts since childhood. As monks, this is naturally a flaw that is easy to be discovered, but it is not surprising if it is placed on the bodyguards.

"Uncle is afraid that the guards in the mansion will be bribed to attack me, so he carefully selected reliable guards, and those guards are not familiar with each other, so you don't have to worry about being discovered by other guards. Once those pursuers leave, You guys should leave immediately."

"Okay, thank you Miss Jiang. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. In the future, Miss Jiang will send someone to tell me if there is something to do." Prince Rong's son said.

"We are the ones who caused trouble for my cousin this time." Wei Yichen looked rather guilty.

Jiang Yuanwan smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, my son. If I need help from my son in the future, I will not be polite to my son."

"Cousin Chen is so polite, it makes people feel strange and uncomfortable. You have helped me a lot when you entered the house yourself, so why don't you allow me to reciprocate?"

"It's different. I help you, but it's just a matter of lifting a finger. You help me, but you risk putting yourself in."

Jiang Yuanwan joked: "If my cousin really feels sorry for me, then he can protect me a little more in the house from now on."

Wei Yichen replied very seriously: "Okay, as long as my cousin is still in the mansion for a day, I will definitely not let people bully my cousin."

……

"Your cousin, although she is young, her words and deeds are quite organized. She really doesn't look like a little girl raised in the Hou's mansion."

After changing into the bodyguard uniform, Prince Rong's son quietly whispered to Wei Yichen.

"She was not raised in the Hou's mansion... I heard that before her father brought her into the mansion, she suffered a lot because she didn't have the protection of her parents."

"No wonder... I just said, your father can't raise such a little girl."

"Him? To him, a daughter is just a tool for marriage, and he doesn't need to be too smart." Therefore, from the eldest daughter Wei Jinxuan, to the second daughter Wei Jinxuan, to the youngest daughter Wei Jinruo, none of them are smart and capable. .

Wei Jinxuan is just like his mother, shrewd in small areas, confused in big areas, and doesn't see the big picture; Wei Jinshan has learned some tricks from Mrs. Changning Hou, but her eyes can only see the one-third of an acre of land in the back house; As for Wei Jinruo, because she was not valued by Mrs. Tai and the Marquis of Changning, she grew up with her unfavored aunt, and developed a cowardly temperament, and she had no sense of presence on weekdays.

Jiang Yuanwan is different.Her way of doing things and her temperament have been honed little by little.

As he was talking, he saw a commotion at the gate of the temple.

The people sent by Empress Dowager Liu have arrived.

"I was ordered by the Empress Dowager to arrest the important criminals. I would like to ask the presiding officer to make it easier for me."

The leader was arrogant, although he was negotiating with the host, Prince Rong's son and Wei Yichen had no doubts, if the host showed a hint of incompetence, the other party would definitely barge in.

"Amitabha, there is no one the benefactor is looking for in this temple."

"Whether there is or not, it's not up to you. We'll find out when we go in and search. Also, call out everyone in your temple and let us check the roster one by one."

The leader said: "If the host is sensible, I don't want to embarrass you. After all, the Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism the most. But if the host is not sensible... I have no choice but to make a mistake in this place of Buddhism!"

There is no way for the host to disagree with this matter.

Although the temple is supposed to be a place outside the world, it is actually in the world of mortals.Even these monks who don't care about worldly affairs can hardly resist the power from the world.

The presiding officer knew that it was difficult to stop these people's searches by himself, even if he was dissatisfied, he could not stop them, so he closed his eyes and recited a Buddha's name.

"I also ask the benefactor to finish the search as soon as possible, and return the quietness of my temple. There is a place to the west where the female benefactor of the Marquis of Changning lives temporarily. Please don't disturb the female benefactor."

"Changninghou Mansion? Who is the man here?"

"I heard that it is a young lady from the family who came out recently to pray for the elders."

It has to be said that the host omitted these words very skillfully. He only said that it was the lady of the house, not which lady. After hearing this, people who came here would naturally think that it was the daughter or niece of Marquis Changning; The lady came out to pray for the elders, but she didn't say that the elders of the lady had passed away, so the listeners naturally thought that the so-called elders here were the masters of the Marquis of Changning.

After the host finished speaking, the visitor decided to be more gentle when searching the west side for a while.

Marquis Changning held the real power and was a master who could not be easily offended. Moreover, Mrs. Marquis Changning was Empress Dowager Liu's cousin, so she was highly valued by Empress Dowager Liu on weekdays.The young lady of the Marquis of Changning, if they meet, they will show some face no matter what.

If Jiang Yuanwan was here, she would feel that Jiang is still old and spicy.

The host's few words saved her a lot of trouble, and it also made these people have some scruples when searching the temple, so they would not be so unscrupulous.This virtually reduced a lot of losses for the temple.

The leader and the people below searched the temple carefully.

The temple is very small, there is almost no place for people to hide, and the visitors quickly searched for it.

Finally, they came to Jiang Yuanwan's door and gently knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a beautiful girl came out. Although the girl was dressed in coarse clothes, her gestures and gestures were like those of Xiaojiabiyu. Incomparable.Only a wealthy family can raise such a maid who is like a vice lady.

"The girl works in the Marquis of Changning?"

"That's right, I was appointed by our Master Hou to serve Miss by her side. What can you do?" It was Fang Pei who was in charge of opening the door.

When the visitor heard that Marquis Changning valued the young lady living here, his tone became more gentle.

"Miss, we are arresting the important criminal. I wonder if the lady can help us to go in and search. The prisoner is extremely vicious. It would be bad if we let them sneak in and startle the lady."

Fang Pei shook her head again and again when she heard the words: "That's impossible. If our lady's room is searched by you, where is Qing Yu left? Aren't you forcing our lady to die?"

The man didn't expect to be able to go in and search for people himself, so he said: "In that case, please ask the lady to look around the room to see if there is any suspicious person. If there is any suspicious person, please come and inform us immediately. We are also worried about the lady." safety."

If someone was really in this young lady's room, even if the people sent by Empress Dowager Liu tried their best to offend the Marquis of Changning, they would go in and arrest him.However, it is almost impossible for the person they want to arrest to hide here, because there is no place to hide here.That being the case, there is no need for them to offend the Marquis of Changning for this matter.

"This official, wait a moment, I'll go in and talk to our lady."

Not long after, there was a rustling sound in the room. It seemed that the lady had already started searching her room.

After a while, a slightly immature female voice floated out from the window: "I have searched just now, and there is no criminal in my room, please rest assured. Please continue to search other places and catch the criminal as soon as possible .”

"Miss Disturbance is resting, we are going to search other places now." The leader paused, and then said: "To be honest, we have no clue where the villain is hiding. I don't know, Ms. Do you know where there is a place where people can hide near here?"

He also went to the doctor in a hurry.

The young lady said: "I just came to this temple to worship the Buddha, and I am not very familiar with the surrounding area. However, there are a few mountains in the north. If you want to hide, there will be a good place to go."

The leader looked towards the north, and he saw several hills covered by dense vegetation.However, he did not act rashly, but looked around.He saw that the east was water, the west was the farmland planted by the monks, and the south was a wall, all of which were not places where people could hide, so he agreed with the young lady's words in his heart.

If the person they were chasing really escaped here, there were only a few hills where they could hide.

The leader made a gesture to the person behind him: "Chasing."

After they left, Fang Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and spread out softly on the chair: "It's considered gone, they won't come back again? Miss, you don't know, when those people came to the door just now, the servants were all Scared to death."

"What are you afraid of, people are not here with us."

Fang Pei patted her chest with lingering fear: "Naturally, I'm afraid of revealing some flaws and being questioned by them."

As a son of a family, the biggest situation Fang Pei has ever seen is nothing more than that someone in the back house made a mistake and was punished by Madam Changning Hou, or a concubine who was restless was sold out by Madam Changning Hou.Where has she seen such a thing today?

"Okay, let's calm down after drinking the tea." Fang Zhi personally held a cup of tea and handed it to Fang Pei.

"Miss, it's not safe to live here, should we go back home as soon as possible?"

Fang Pei still had lingering fears, if such a thing happened again, she would not be able to bear it.

This time, they escaped. If there is a next time, they may not have such good luck.

"Don't worry, these people probably won't come again. If we leave now in a hurry, it will cause people to be suspicious." Jiang Yuanwan said: "Just do what you have to do."

I don't know if those people have checked the guards she brought one by one, but I believe that with the means of those two people, they have been checked several times, and they have a way to deal with it.

And just like that, another day passed.

Early the next morning, when Fang Pei went out to fetch water, he found that the carriage of the Marquis of Changning stopped in front of the temple.

A person stepped out of the carriage. He was tall and straight, with sharp eyes. He had come from a long way, but he acted like the owner of this place.

Fang Pei froze for a moment, "Master Hou...?"

"Take me to see Yuanyuan."

"Why is uncle here?" When Marquis Changning appeared in front of Jiang Yuanwan, Jiang Yuanwan was full of surprise.

"You live in this kind of place?" Marquis Changning walked all the way, and he had already had a panoramic view of the temple environment.

His fingers tapped the table rhythmically, anyone who knew him well would know that he was already very dissatisfied.

"If I had known earlier that you were going to come to this kind of place, I would never have let you come."

Marquis Changning used to go to royal temples and other places of great incense, so he thought that all the temples were similar. He never thought that there was a temple that could be so dilapidated, let alone that such a dilapidated and partial temple Will be found and selected by Jiang Yuanwan.

No wonder some of the servants he sent to serve Jiang Yuanwan hurried back to the mansion without even making it through a day.

Although those servants claimed that they were ordered by Jiang Yuanwan to come back to look after Bihaixuan where she lived, but Marquis Changning had doubts in his heart.Now, looking at the environment in this temple, the doubt in his heart finally has an answer.

"It's very good here, it's a place where people can meditate and worship the Buddha."

"Meditation? I'm afraid it's shocking." Marquis Changning was noncommittal: "Uncle has already heard about what happened yesterday. This temple is so remote, and there are robbers running around. You are a girl who lives here. , after all, it makes people worry.”

"Go back with uncle, Yuanyuan. If you still want to pray for the elders, there is a small Buddhist hall at home for you to use. Otherwise, after a few days, let your aunt take you to Huangjue Temple."

Marquis Changning understood that Jiang Yuanwan came out to pray, not only to honor his parents, but also to remind him, so that he could understand that she was not allowed to be bullied, humiliated, and plotted by others at will.

Now, the Marquis of Changning personally came to pick Jiang Yuanwan back to the mansion, which can be regarded as giving Jiang Yuanwan enough face.

Jiang Yuanwan thought for a while, and said: "I have no opinion, I just listen to my uncle. To tell you the truth, I heard that there were gangsters near here yesterday, and I was terribly afraid. Fortunately, this is an important place of Buddhism, and the gangsters also have A bit scrupulous, I didn't dare to come in, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep peacefully at night."

Fang Zhi took the two little maids, Hong Xing and Hong Yu, to pack things quickly.Fortunately, I didn't bring many things with me when I came here, so it's convenient to put them together at this time.

……

Jiang Yuanwan didn't know that during the days when she left the mansion, the Changning Hou Mansion was not peaceful.

First, Mrs. Tai took away the power of Mrs. Changninghou's housekeeper on the grounds that Mrs. Changninghou's housekeeping was unfavorable. Then, Changninghou ordered Wei Jinshan to confine her feet in the mansion to think about her mistakes on the grounds of Wei Jinshan's disrespect. At the same time, she was in charge of teaching Wei Jinshan. Jinxuan's nanny was also politely invited out of the Marquis of Changning.

Mrs. Tai and Marquis of Changning are not fools, what Jiang Yuanwan can think of, they naturally can't think of it.

Although Mrs. Tai and Changninghou chose to defend Mrs. Changninghou in front of the Liu family, but their family closed their doors and had some accounts, so they could settle it carefully.

No matter how much Aunt Xia is wrong, she is also the niece whom Mrs. Tai has loved for so many years. This time, she was forced to give up Aunt Xia, which made Mrs. Tai very annoyed.Moreover, Mrs. Changning Hou's behavior this time also made Mrs. Tai feel threatened.Mrs. Tai deeply felt that if Mrs. Changninghou was not restrained, she was afraid that Mrs. Changninghou, the daughter-in-law, would climb over her head.

Therefore, Mrs. Tai was not relentless in picking up Mrs. Changning Hou this time.

Mrs. Tai asked Mrs. Changninghou to go to her place to set the rules every day, and she often scolded Mrs. Changninghou in front of her servants. Mrs. Changninghou was wronged, so she had to swallow her anger.

Unfortunately, this is not the end.

There was no Aunt Xia in the back house, and Mrs. Tai stuffed several young and beautiful maids in one breath to serve as concubines for Marquis Changning.Changning Hou often hangs around in the bride's room recently, and only goes to see Mrs. Changning Hou on the fifteenth day of the first day of the Lunar New Year.Mrs. Changninghou is not as young and beautiful as the new aunt. Even if Changninghou stayed in her room, the two of them just chatted under the quilt. Mrs. Changninghou felt so depressed.

Wei Jinshan is not having a good time recently. When she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai, she was reprimanded and admonished by Mrs. Changning, the patriarch of the family, even more clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with her.

"Girls' families should be chaste, quiet and virtuous. They bully this one and scheme against that all day long. What do you look like! The schemer plots against his own sisters. If someone finds out, which family do you think would want you to disturb me like this?" -Home-fine? You have stayed at home recently to learn the rules, so you don't have to go out, so as not to lose face of my Changning Hou Mansion outside!"

Wei Jinshan was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she has never received such a severe reprimand, and she cried secretly many times.

Even Mrs. Changninghou, after hearing these words, couldn't care less about the crimes she had suffered. Recently, she was trying to persuade Changninghou to cancel the ban.

Now that Wei Jinshan has reached the age of seeing others, if she never goes out, how will outsiders know Wei Jinshan's benefits?Not to mention, some of the posts that Wei Jinshan received recently were sent by the Princess Princess. How can such a good opportunity to make friends with noble people be missed?After pushing this time, it's hard to say whether these noble ladies will post posts to Wei Jinshan in the future.

However, the decision made by Marquis Changning will not be easily shaken.What's more, since he said he wanted to give Jiang Yuanwan an explanation, he couldn't be perfunctory.

How much thought has he spent on Jiang Yuanwan these years?Unexpectedly, because of Wei Jinshan's little thought, the success almost fell short!

Fortunately, Jiang Yuanwan was not counted, otherwise, her move would have been completely useless!

Therefore, to Mrs. Changning Hou who came to intercede, he just said lightly: "Stop begging, let sister Shan learn the rules to be serious. When she has learned it well, when will she come out again. Sister Xuan is also learning the rules recently. , Sister Shan has learned it, and she just happens to be with Sister Xuan. If you can't learn well, go to the Buddhist hall to continue learning."

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. If you plead for her again, you will be sent directly to the family temple."

That tone was decisive, without any room for change.

Madam Changning Hou's heart sank.

The attitude of Mrs. Tai and the Marquis of Changning made her more sure of what they found...

It seems that recently, he can only be a man with his tail between his legs.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tai and Marquis Changning didn't plan to let outsiders know about it. If so, she and Wei Jinshan will never be treated coldly for the rest of their lives.

"By the way, Sister Xuan has no mother now. After a while, you will record Sister Xuan under your name, and Sister Xuan will be able to talk about marriage in the future."

Although Marquis Changning hated Aunt Xia for making her own decisions, Wei Jinxuan was her biological daughter after all, so he had to think for Wei Jinshan.

"How can this be done!" Mrs. Changning Marquis blurted out, "Mrs. Xia made such a big mistake. Sister-in-law and Sister Jia are still angry now. How can I put Sister Xuan under my name? If the master is worried Sister Xuan, let Aunt Li take care of Sister Xuan, that's all."

Aunt Li, as the Marquis of Changning called it, was originally the housemaid of the Marquis of Changning, and she had a lot of experience in the mansion.Aunt Li has a dull temperament, is old and decrepit, and has no children under her knees, so she is like a transparent person in the backyard.If Wei Jinxuan followed Aunt Li, Mrs. Changning Hou didn't worry about what trouble they would cause.

Unexpectedly, Chang Ning Hou heard Madam Chang Ning Hou's words and sneered: "You and I know why Xia Shi made such a mistake. Xia Shi is certainly hateful, but you are not innocent!"

Mrs. Changning Hou's heart sank: "Master, are you suspicious of me?"

"Okay, don't make such a gesture. If I don't have evidence, I won't talk to you like this. Sister Xuan and the others must have an identity. If you don't want to record Sister Xuan under your name, When I turned around, I opened the ancestral hall and recorded Sister Xuan and the three brothers and sisters under Brother Chen's mother's name."

If it really works like this, the three brothers and sisters Wei Jinxuan will become the first wife's first son and first wife's first wife from the point of view of etiquette.

The status of the children born by the original spouse is higher than that of the children born by the second wife. Mrs. Changning Hou saw her child being suppressed by Wei Yichen for so many years, and felt aggrieved in her heart. How could she just watch Aunt Xia's birth How many children are also pressed on her child's head?

"If I put Sister Xuan under my name, then Brother Ming and Brother Gang..."

"One is recorded under Aunt Li's name, and the other is recorded under Aunt Zhu's name." Both of them are old people who have followed Changning Hou very early.If it was a young concubine, Marquis Changning would not be at ease in entrusting his son to them, especially Wei Yiming was not young anymore, and he always had to avoid suspicion with the young concubine.

Mrs. Changning Hou weighed it for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "It is indeed as the master said, the girl's family still has a good background, and the road in the future will be easier."

She just showed her feet in front of the Marquis of Changning, so she naturally wanted to earn back some impression points: "Sister Xuan, this child is also a pain in the ass, I will write Sister Xuan under my name later, once I apply The degree is compared to that of Sister Shan. Looking back, if the other side of my natal family asks, I will explain to them. Sister Xuan has also reached the age of marriage negotiation. If Sister Xuan marries well, there will be more people in our family in the future. One point of help. Brother Ming and Brother Gang are both young masters, as long as people make progress, their background doesn't matter so much."

After talking so much, only the last sentence is what Mrs. Changning Hou really wanted to say.

Comparing the two evils, the lesser one, Mrs. Changninghou would rather pinch her nose to recognize Wei Jinxuan than Wei Yiming and Wei Yigang to become the first sons, even if they are only named first sons!If a concubine becomes a concubine, it will only be an extra dowry in the future. If the concubine becomes a concubine and the family is divided in the future, wouldn't it be necessary to share an extra portion of the property?

Furthermore, according to Mrs. Tai's love for Wei Yiming, if Wei Yiming becomes the eldest son, Mrs. Baobuqi will fight for him to be the son of the eldest son!

Changninghou saw that Madam Changninghou was still on the right track, and his tone became gentler, no longer as blunt as it was at the beginning: "Madam can do it as she sees it. I believe that if Madam really puts her heart into it, there will be no Madam who can't do it." Good thing."

In other words, if something went wrong, it would be that Mrs. Changning Hou didn't care.

Mrs. Changning Hou felt pain in her brain, and it took a lot of effort to restrain herself and not get angry at Changning Hou.

Earlier, she heard that her former wife was forced to die by Aunt Xia. She still felt that the original wife had no means. Now, she realized that the most irritating thing was not Aunt Xia herself, but Chang Ning Hou's attitude.

"By the way, in two days, I'm going to pick up Yuanyuan back home. I know that you have always treated Yuanyuan with only face, but even if it's face, you have done it for me. If you let me know you Sister Heshan bullied Yuanyuan, even for the sake of Yuanyuan's deceased parents, I will not spare you."

"Yes, master, don't worry, I will take good care of Yuanyuan when she comes back."

Maybe it was because of Wei Jinxuan's incident that made Mrs. Changninghou too angry. At this moment, Mrs. Changninghou didn't feel much when she heard that Changninghou beat her because of Jiang Yuanwan.

Mrs. Changning Hou knew that she and Wei Jinshan encouraged Aunt Xia to use Croton to plot against Jiang Yuanwan. Changning Hou would probably say such a thing because Changning Hou knew about it.Jiang Yuanwan went to the temple these days, maybe she was protesting.

Now, Mrs. Changninghou has lost the trust of Mrs. Tai and Changninghou, and she is constrained everywhere in this mansion, making it difficult for her to move forward. How can she continue to trouble Jiang Yuanwan?

……

It was in such a big environment that Jiang Yuanwan was taken back to the Hou's mansion by the Marquis of Changning.

When she just came out of the temple, she was dressed very plainly, no different from when she first came to the Hou's Mansion, but the attitudes of the servants were very different two times before and after.

When Jiang Yuanwan entered the mansion for the first time, the servants all regarded Jiang Yuanwan as a poor relative who came to beat the autumn wind, and looked at her with contempt and contempt, but this time, the servants treated her respectfully, politely, and dare not have No slack.It looked like it had been beaten.

"Yuanyuan, my uncle told you that you treat the mansion as your own home. If the servants are neglectful or your cousin is rude, you can just tell uncle."

"Don't worry, uncle, I won't let myself suffer."

"You must be tired after a long day's driving today, so you should rest early, uncle will come to see you tomorrow."

Jiang Yuanwan nodded obediently.

As soon as he walked out of Jiang Yuanwan's Bihaixuan, a servant whispered something in Changninghou's ear, and Changninghou's face changed suddenly: "You bastard!"
