Marriage of the Di Daughter

Ji's death should have been a major event, but in Jiang's residence, it was not as important as Aunt Hu's. But no matter what, in just a few days, two people died in Jiang's mansion one after another, and the bloody truth of the past was stripped to everyone. The atmosphere in Jiang's mansion was really not breezy. This winter is also colder than usual.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai seemed to want to make up for Jiang Li's past regrets, and they were obedient to Jiang Li, regardless of the size of the matter. Just the pearl and emerald beside the old lady came several times to give clothes and money. Jiang Li treated them gently and accepted them one by one. It seemed that there was no barrier, but after Mrs. Jiang knew Jiang Li's reaction, she sighed deeply.

Ji's family was going to be buried, but it was claimed to be a sudden illness and died overnight. No matter how outsiders pointed, or were puzzled or puzzled, Ji's family, who were Ji Shuran's natal family, did not speak, obviously acquiescing to this fact.

Therefore, although the people in Yanjing City would interrupt after dinner to ask whether there was something hidden about Ji Shuran's death, but because there was no evidence, they changed the topic after saying a few words.

It took seven days for Ji Shuran's coffin to be buried. During the seven days, only Jiang Youyao guarded Ji Shuran's spirit. Jiang Bingji was too young, and Jiang Li was Ji Shuran's daughter in name, but Ji Shuran killed her biological mother, how could she guard the spirit of her mother-killing enemy? As for the rest of the Jiang family, Ji Shuran had taken so many lives on her body, and even killed her previous wife. Whoever guarded such a murderer would just look at Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Youyao endured the humiliation and stood guard for Ji Shuran alone. When Jiang Youyao first learned of Ji Shuran's death, Jiang Youyao wanted to go to Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai to argue, but they never saw her. It was Jin Hua beside Jiang Youyao who reminded her that this matter was what Mrs. Jiang meant. Only then did Jiang Youyao realize the truth, and at the same time, deep fear rose in her heart.

The Jiang family can kill her mother without hesitation, and they can kill her without hesitation! Fear overcame grief, Jiang Youyao didn't even have the heart to complain for Ji Shuran, at first she wanted to pin all her hopes on Ji's family. Just waiting for Ji's family to come to Jiang's, let Ji's take her away. But Ji's family never showed up after Ji Shuran's death.

Not even condolences.

At that moment, Jiang Youyao really understood that her mother and herself were abandoned by the Ji family. From then on, in the Jiang family, she could only rely on herself.

All these things were passed from Tong Er's mouth to Jiang Li's ears. Jiang Li was not surprised by Jiang Youyao's actions, Ji Shuran helped Jiang Youyao consider everything, and naturally formed a habit of relying on the help of others when something happened to Jiang Youyao. But the Ji family might disappoint her this time. In order to maintain the relationship with the Jiang family, at least on the surface, the Ji family will not do anything to complain about Ji Shuran.

Ji Shuran had already been buried, Jiang Youyao fell silent for a while, and nothing happened in the mansion. Jiang Li also went to Ye Mansion every day to see Situ Jiuyue give Xue Huaiyuan an injection. Although there was still no improvement, at least she had something in her heart.

But on this day, the rare peace was broken.

Jiang Li just got up, asked Tong Er to comb her hair, and planned to go to Ye Mansion for a stroll. Qingfeng suddenly ran into the back room in a hurry and said, "Girl, something happened!"

Tong'er's hand trembled, the hairpin didn't catch her hair, the hair that had been combed almost fell apart again, and the black hair hung down behind her head. Jiang Li didn't care about it, she just looked at Qingfeng and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The maidservant is out of the house today to do the shopping, and everyone on the street is talking about Ji's death!"

"Let's just say it," Tong'er wondered, "Didn't someone already say it?"

"No," Qingfeng said in a hurry, "but they said that Mrs. Ji's death was due to having an affair with others and gave birth to evil seeds. Now that the scandal is revealed, our master personally did it!"

"What?" Jiang Li frowned and stood up.

"Isn't this telling the truth?" Bai Xue was stunned when she heard the words while holding a cup of hot tea, "It's not like the mansion doesn't allow people to tell this matter to the outside world, how did it get out?"

"No matter how it gets out, it should be a good thing for us." Tong'er said happily: "Our girl has been wronged in the first place. Although Ji's family is dead, the trumped-up charges on the girl's body are still there. Now it's good Now, the truth is out, everyone knows that the girl was framed for killing her mother and brother. Our girl can be regarded as innocent once."

"It's innocent," Bai Xue shook her head, "But in this way, everyone in the house will think that the girl said it."

Tong'er was taken aback, Qingfeng said: "That's the reason!"

"I'm wronged!" Tong'er exclaimed, "We really didn't say a word!"

Jiang Li pondered.

Although she really wanted to clear Miss Jiang Er of this crime, she also knew that everything should be considered in the overall situation, and family ugliness should not be publicized. If this matter is known to everyone in the streets, it will not be good for Miss Jiang Er's reputation. It also hindered Jiang Yuanbai's official career. If Jiang Yuanbai falls, the Jiang family will inevitably be eaten away. Therefore, she never planned to tell about Ji Shuran to the outside world.

She didn't say it, who said it? All the servants in the mansion are in the hands of the master. Although the old lady is old, she will definitely treat the servants obediently for this kind of thing, no matter if she threatens or lures her. Besides, for the servants, life-saving is the most important thing, and everyone knows that if they say it, they will die.

Who is it?

Before he could figure out why, he suddenly heard Mingyue screaming outside: "Miss San, you can't go in."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Youyao's violent voice sounded: "Go away!" It seemed to push Mingyue down.

Jiang Youyao rushed in aggressively.

Jiang Li stood up and looked at her.

When Jiang Youyao saw Jiang Li, her eyes tingled. Jiang Li was wearing a plain green silk satin embroidered jacket and skirt, her long hair was half combed, and there were two pearls on her ears, which made her face look white and beautiful.

Her mind immediately floated to what Yinhua told her, and the jokes of those people outside: "Miss Jiang San is also Ji's adulterer, right? Isn't Miss Jiang Er the only prostitute of the Jiang family? Let me just say, that day when the six arts were held in the school, Second Miss Jiang looked much better than Third Miss!"

If this was said in the past, Jiang Youyao would only scoff at it, but now, she found sadly that she could not refute it. Before she knew it, Jiang Li had come from behind. She had captured Jiang Yuanbai's attention and her grandmother's eccentricity. For adultery!

How unfair!

"Sanmei is so rampant, is there something important?" Jiang Li asked.

"Stop being a hypocritical and disgusting person," Jiang Youyao sneered, "You must have let go of those rumors outside. My father and grandmother clearly said that this matter should not be spread outside, but you actually made a big fuss about it." You know, let the Jiang family become a laughing stock, Jiang Li, what is your intention?!"

Jiang Li shook her head: "It's not me."

The ridicule on Jiang Youyao's face was even worse: "It's not you? Who else could it be? In the whole Jiang family, only you hate me and my mother the most! It's you who wanted to kill me, so you let this matter out. You ruined my life." Me! You ruined me!"

"I said it wasn't me. If I wanted to say it, I would say it that day, and I wouldn't wait until after the burial." Jiang Li said, "Furthermore, it wasn't me who made the Jiang family a laughing stock, but Ji Shuran. It's not me who ruined you." It's not me, it's Ji Shuran. It's all on my head, sorry, I don't have that much ability. "

When it comes to words that kill without blood, Jiang Youyao is not Jiang Li's opponent. Jiang Youyao, who spoke a few words but was enraged, became even more jealous. She stared at Jiang Li and murmured: "I'm going to kill you..." and rushed towards her!

In this room, there is still a very strong Bai Xue. When Jiang Youyao rushed over, Bai Xue put down the teacup in her hand and rushed over to block Jiang Li. Bai Xue was taller than Jiang Youyao, and grabbed Jiang Youyao's hand. Jiang Youyao was twisted by Bai Xue, and said angrily to Jinhua Yinhua, "What are you still doing? Catch this lowly maid!"

Only then did Jinhua and Yinhua come back to their senses, and they rushed forward, and Tong'er was not an easy-going lamp. Greeting Qingfeng Mingyue to mess with these people, Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she walked out of the house quickly, called two women to separate her, and sent someone to find Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang's people came over quickly, and saw that Jiang Youyao's clothes were disheveled, but Jiang Li was calm and breezy, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. To Jiang Li, Mrs. Jiang invited the two of them to Wanfengtang.

Jiang Youyao was discouraged at the moment, and Mrs. Jiang's people did not dare to act presumptuously in front of her. Even if he didn't dare in his heart, he had no choice but to hold back and wait until he arrived at Wanfeng Hall. But Jiang Yuanbai was also there.

"Father." Jiang Youyao called out timidly.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Youyao, feeling complicated in his heart.

He is not a saint, and his hatred for Ji Shuran will inevitably affect Jiang Youyao. But seeing Jiang Youyao's frightened appearance, it's hard to harden his heart. Jiang Youyao grew up pampered by the Jiang family, when did she become so shy and timid? Will his two daughters end up on the same path, disappointed in his father, and completely divorced from the Jiang family?

Mrs. Jiang had already learned the whole story from her mother-in-law, looked at Jiang Youyao and said angrily: "Third girl, you are too much, you have learned the rules like this on weekdays, and even murdered your own sister!"

"Grandmother." Jiang Youyao's knees softened, she knelt down neatly, and said: "Youyao was also impulsive. But... now everyone is talking about mother... mother's death. The news is spreading. Daughter, Youyao knew that her mother had committed an unforgivable mistake, so she did not intercede for her mother. But her mother has already left and paid the due price. Why would she not let the dead be spared? This makes children How do you feel? Father, please feel the same way!"

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Youyao, and it seemed that Jiang Youyao had grown up after Ji Shuran's death, at least she would use bitter tricks to find sympathy from others.

"Furthermore, the Jiang family was the one who got hurt when the mother's story got out. What will other people think of the Jiang family? Now everyone outside says that his father doesn't manage the family strictly, and the Jiang family is in a mess. Second sister," she looked at Jiang Li, With tears streaming down her face, she kowtowed to Jiang Li a few times, and said, "Youyao knows that she can't make up for the damage caused by the second sister, but please raise your hands high and don't smear the Jiang family anymore. As long as you can let the Jiang family go, You Yao is willing to do anything!"

Tong'er was very angry when she heard it. At first, she thought that the third lady was a no-brainer, but now it seems that she should not be underestimated. At least this pretentious effort is exactly the same as Ji Shuran's. No wonder it is said that like a mother, like a daughter, everyone should admire this pity. In the current scene, Jiang Li seemed aggressive, but she seemed quite innocent.

Jiang Li said: "Third sister, I didn't do this."

"Who else would it be if it wasn't you?" Jiang Youyao choked and said, "Only you hate your mother the most, you want to clear up your grievances, and you are the only one who can go in and out of the house freely every day..."

Jiang Li had to go to Ye's house every day, but Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang felt ashamed of Jiang Li because of the previous incident, and they didn't hold Jiang Li back. Unexpectedly, they became Jiang Youyao's "evidence" at this moment.

"Although I have grievances against my father and the Jiang family, it's not enough to drag the Jiang family into the water." Jiang Li said calmly: "Although telling this matter can solve my grievances, it will make me feel sad." The Jiang family is in a very disadvantageous situation. In this way, it will not do me any good." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "I am very aware of Sanmei's sadness, but no matter how sad you are, you must weigh the pros and cons, and don't act impulsively."

She said so frankly that she had a grudge against the Jiang family, which stunned Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai for a moment. Immediately afterwards, what Jiang Li said made their hearts complicated. Weighing the pros and cons, for the sake of the Jiang family, this is a good thing, but Jiang Li's words are too rational, too cold, and too homeless.

But the more she behaved like this, the more Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang felt guilty towards her.

Jiang Li walked up to Jiang Youyao, and personally reached out to help Jiang Youyao up. Jiang Youyao shrank back subconsciously, trying to avoid Jiang Li's hand. Seen by Jiang Yuanbai, Jiang Yuanbai frowned slightly. Seeing this, Jiang Youyao had to grit her teeth and put her hand in Jiang Li's palm.

"Third sister," Jiang Li helped her up, and said, "Your mother has already paid the price for the mistakes she made back then, no matter whether the price is enough or not, but the person has passed away, and it is meaningless to talk about him. Now Let the matter be exposed, and I never thought of not being relentless. Besides, watching my mother leave, as a daughter's heartache, others don't know, but in front of me, how can you say I don't know?" She said lightly: "Of course I know."

Of course she knew, because Ye Zhenzhen was killed by Ji Shuran.

With just one sentence, Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang couldn't have any other thoughts about Jiang Li. Jiang Yuanbai only asked: "Ali, you really didn't say this?"

"Father can do a thorough investigation, it's not my fault."

Jiang Yuanbai nodded: "Okay. Today's matter should be regarded as a misunderstanding. I will find out who is behind it." He looked at Jiang Li: "If it's okay, you can go back to the yard to rest." The words Li, even with careful fawning.

Jiang Youyao stared at the scene in front of her in a daze, and she suddenly realized that no matter whether it was Mrs. Jiang or Jiang Yuanbai, there was nothing they could do about Jiang Li now. It seemed that no matter what Jiang Li did, they would compromise.

Yes, compromise. Because Jiang Li can always easily arouse their guilt, and knows their bottom line, so she puts forward the biggest request in the bottom line.

Jiang Youyao was not reconciled, so she had to say something else. Mrs. Jiang has coldly ordered the people around her to send Jiang Youyao back to Yao Guangzhu.

This means to put her under house arrest.

Jiang Youyao was shocked, she didn't understand why she was punished like this when she was clearly the victim. She wanted to beg Jiang Yuanbai to arouse Jiang Yuanbai's sympathy for her, but Jiang Yuanbai just looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. Jiang Youyao watched, the fire in her eyes gradually extinguished.

She didn't say a word, and let Mrs. Jiang's people come and "send" her back to the yard.

But she understood in her heart, Jiang family, she couldn't stay any longer. No one will stand by her side anymore. She and Jiang Li are deadly enemies and are destined to live forever. However, as long as she and Jiang Li have a conflict now, there is no doubt that everyone in the mansion will stand by Jiang Li's side.

The position of the chief assistant's daughter disappeared along with the dead Ji Shuran, and could never be found again.

She had to find another way of life.

...

On the other end, Jiang Li, who had returned to Fangfeiyuan, sat down in the study.

Qingfeng Mingyue was busy cleaning up the mess that had just been fought with Jiang Youyao's maid. Bai Xue and Tong'er were busy, but Jiang Li's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Judging by Jiang Youyao's appearance, it is obvious that she doesn't know about this matter. It wasn't Jiang Youyao who passed it on, nor herself. Apart from the Jiang family, the only people present that day were servants of the Jiang family. Now that the news of Ji Shuran's affair with others has spread, there is no room for change. The Jiang family's statement was damaged, and Jiang Yuanbai's and Jiang Yuanping's official careers were also damaged. No matter how you look at it, it will be harmful to the Jiang family but not beneficial.

In the entire Jiang family, it seemed that only Jiang Li was the most suspected, because he wanted to clear his name. But after this point is ruled out, maybe someone who wants to deal with the Jiang family deliberately leaked this matter through Ji Shuran.

Who will it be? Right Prime Minister Li's family? Princess Yongning? Become king? Or someone else hiding in the dark? If it was these people, there might be their spies among the servants of the Jiang family. I have to pay more attention to my every move in the Jiang family from now on.

If it's not these people, but the Jiang family's own ghosts, then it will be even more important. Since ancient times, family thieves have been difficult to guard against. If there is a problem in the house, if the house and the outside of the house cooperate with each other, the Jiang family may be very difficult.

Jiang Li felt that her mind was a little confused, and she couldn't help but press the button to feel disgusted. Seeing this, Tong'er thought she was worried about it, so she came over to comfort her and said, "Girl, don't worry too much. We are not afraid of crooked shadows. Even if the master makes people go I checked, but I couldn't find the girl. Although the incident was inexplicable, the girl was a blessing in disguise. Now everyone in Yanjing City knows that the girl was wronged for what happened back then. .”

"Besides, in comparison, the Ji family should have a headache now." Tong'er gloated, "If this happened to my girl, the reputation of all the girls in the Ji family will be affected. Don't say they are not out of the court, even if they are married. The daughters of Ji's family will be judged by others. Isn't Empress Li the elder sister of the Ji family? If His Majesty hears about this, maybe she will think of Li Bin that way."

Lipin? !

Jiang Li stood up abruptly, startled Tong'er, and said, "Girl, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Li didn't speak, her expression fluctuated. She always felt that she had missed something, but she didn't take it to heart these days, and now she heard Tong'er mention it, and suddenly remembered it. In the matter of Daoist Chongxu, there is another key person, Li Bin! Jiang Yuanbai caught Daoist Chongxu, and he also said that he would bluntly tell Emperor Hong Xiao about Daoist Chongxu.

If there were no accidents, Emperor Hong Xiao should have known that Daoist Chongxu was a liar, and he also knew that the case of Concubine Li's victory-hating technique back then was a fake. But now it seems that there is no news from the palace, does Hong Xiaodi not know that Daoist Chongxu is a liar? Or did the palace hide the news? But if it is concealed, at least the Ji family will find Jiang Yuanbai to intercede. But since Ji Shuran's death, Ji's family has not been here once, obviously they don't want to get involved with this matter anymore.

The truth became confusing in an instant, and Jiang Li couldn't figure it out. She was in Jiang's house, so it might be difficult for her to know what happened in the palace. Involuntarily, Jiang Li reached for the whistle in her sleeve, and there was a shortcut in front of her... But, would Ji Heng let Zhao Ke tell her?

It's not a small thing after all.

...

While Jiang Li was thinking of Concubine Li, Concubine Li in the palace was also having an uneasy life these past few days.

Ji Shuran died suddenly.

When Concubine Li saw Ji Shuran last time, she was still discussing with Ji Shuran how to use Daoist Chongxu to deal with Jiang Li. After leaving that day, there was no news of Ji Shuran again. Not only that, Daoist Chongxu also lost news. Li Pin faintly felt some uneasiness in her heart, but the people she sent out had no results. The Jiang family guarded like an iron bucket, and no news could come out.

After waiting for two more days, the news of Ji Shuran's sudden illness and sudden death came. Concubine Li was startled, suspecting that something had happened, and wrote to Ji's family. But Ji Yanlin didn't say anything in reply, and didn't let Concubine Li go to Jiang's house to express her condolences. Concubine Li was sure that something must have happened this time, but what was strange was the attitude of the Ji family. I heard that the Ji family did not attend the condolences of the Jiang family. Lipin was even more disturbed.

Because of something on her mind, Concubine Li simply claimed to be sick these few days, and rarely went out of the side hall, saying that she was not well a few days ago. Concubine Li's maid, Hong Zhu, came in from outside, trotted up to Concubine Li and said, "Your Majesty, something happened outside."

"What's the matter?" Li Pin sat up.

"It is said that Mrs. Ji's death has another inside story." Hongzhu told Ji Shuran the news she heard from the outside, that's all, said: "Nowadays the streets and alleys are talking about this, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid His Majesty also knows."

Upon hearing the news all of a sudden, Li Pin couldn't recover for a while. After a long time, she found her own thoughts.

How could Concubine Li not know about Ji Shuran, when Chen Jishi came to the palace every now and then, he always told her about it. Concubine Li didn't think highly of this young girl Ji Shuran back then. Ji Shuran was not as strong as Chen Jishi, but the matter of Ye Zhenzhen and Liu Wencai made Concubine Li look up to her with admiration. After all, there is still a bit of ruthlessness in his bones.

It's just that this admiration, now that it hurts me, has turned into disgust.

"How did it get out!" Li Bin said angrily.

If something happened to Ji Shuran, the entire Ji family's women's statement would be damaged, even her. When people see her, they will say, look, she is Ji Shuran's older sister, with the same blood flowing in her bones, will she be so vicious and promiscuous in the future. In the palace, there was constant fighting, and there were probably countless people who could take advantage of this to bring her down.

Wait, how did Ji Shuran die? Was Jiang Yuanbai executed because the scandal was exposed? So why is the scandal exposed? Counting the time, it was not long after the exorcism at Daoist Chongxu's mansion?

Could it be that Daoist Chongxu is a liar and was found out? Concubine Li twisted her veil, if this happened, she would be the first to suffer! The emperor will not allow a person who deceives himself to live in this world!

Just as he was thinking, the maid outside came to report that the emperor had arrived.

Concubine Li quickly got off the bed and got up to greet her.

She lowered her head, and she could catch a glimpse of the bright yellow dragon robe out of the corner of her eyes. The dragon robe stopped in front of her. In the past, Concubine Li was very courageous, not as respectful to Emperor Hong Xiao as other concubines in the palace. She could tease Emperor Hong Xiao, so she didn't have much fear when facing the dragon robe. And it was this fearlessness that made her the most special one in Emperor Hong Xiao's eyes.

But today, the bright yellow color is like a talisman. For the first time, she also has the fear of imperial power. She is humble and fragile. When she lowered her head, she felt that the time had passed extremely long. I don't know what kind of fate awaits me.

It's been a long time.

When Concubine Li's forehead began to seep cold sweat, a familiar voice said, "Excuse me." He helped her up with both hands.

Emperor Hong Xiao looked at her with a smile, just as doting and handsome as before, and then Concubine Li's heart gradually relaxed - judging from Emperor Hong Xiao's attitude towards her, it seemed that he was not affected by the rumors outside.

He probably didn't know about Daoist Chongxu either.

Emperor Hong Xiao stretched out his hand to pin the long hair scattered in front of her, and touched her forehead covered in cold sweat, and frowned, "Why is Concubine Li sweating so much? It's such a cold day."

Concubine Li smiled and said, "It's probably because she's still a little weak and hasn't recovered yet."

Emperor Hong Xiao nodded, and ordered his servants to let the imperial physician come over to feel the pulse of Concubine Li. Seeing Emperor Hong Xiao's same attitude as before, Concubine Li was completely relieved.

In fact, as long as Emperor Hong Xiao did not know about Daoist Chongxu, the matter of Ji Shuran alone would not be enough to completely shake her position. Concubine Li could use other methods to show that she was completely ignorant of this matter, and she could even use bitter tricks.

As long as she can cut herself off from this matter completely, turn herself into a deceived person.

so far so good. As if walking on the road of life and death, Li Pin showed a sincere smile and leaned her head gently on the emperor's shoulder.

Emperor Hong Xiao patted her hand as if to comfort her, but the look in his eyes was extremely cold.
