Marriage of the Di Daughter

The maid and the alarmed people quickly ran to Xiao Deyin.

Xiao Deyin fell to the ground, his veil was also off, and his face was terrified. The servant girl was startled and said, "Sir! What's wrong with you, sir?"

"Someone," Xiao Deyin gasped, his face turned pale, "someone wants to kill me!"

"Who is it?" After hearing the news, the people who lived nearby all turned their heads and looked around, but said, "I didn't see anyone. Could it be a robber? Mr. Xiao, why don't you report it to the authorities? Handled by the government."

The people here are all residents living in the alley, and they all know Xiao Deyin, and they are all enthusiastically offering ideas at this moment.

The servant girl also said: "Yes sir, why don't we report to the officials now!"

As soon as Xiao Deyin heard the report, Xiao Deyin instinctively wanted to refuse. She coughed a few times and said: "I'm really uncomfortable right now, I want to go back to my room to rest for a while. I'll report to the police when I feel better."

Seeing her pale and precarious appearance, everyone nodded. Some women stepped forward to say a few words of concern and comfort, and Xiao Deyin was helped into the room by the servant girl.

The servant girl was also worried that it was still not safe outside, so she asked the guards in the mansion to guard the gate tonight, locked the gate, and made some ginger soup for Xiao Deyin to soothe her nerves.

Although this alley was quiet, there had never been any robbers and bandits on weekdays. It was the first time that Xiao Deyin encountered it this time.

Xiao Deyin sat on the couch in the room, the ginger soup was not ready, and there was only cold tea in the room. She was eager to drink something again, so she reached for the teacup, but her hand was shaking so high that she couldn't hold on to a teacup, so she heard a "pop", and the teacup fell to the ground and fell to the ground. gotta smash.

The servant girl heard the movement and hurried in to clean up. Fortunately, it was cold tea, and it was not hot to the touch. Xiao Deyin looked at the large swirl of water on the ground, and still felt palpitations when he thought that his life was hanging by a thread just now.

The people outside said that they were bandits and bandits, and when they passed by and saw her as a lonely woman, they became malicious, but Xiao Deyin knew it was not. Those two people clearly came for her at the beginning, and even called her name, which shows that they were instigated by others. But Xiao Deyin believed that he had never had any enmity with anyone, and the only thing he did to offend anyone in his life was to frame Xue Fangfei.

But what the man said was the princess. Princess, Beiyan now has only one princess, and that is King Cheng's younger sister, Her Highness Princess Yongning. But why would the majestic princess treat her so cruelly? She has never offended this princess before!

Wait, she remembered, that person said in a hurry, "Only the dead can keep a secret." What does that mean? It means that the other party is going to kill people to silence her, but what did she know? What about the secret?

Xiao Deyin is not stupid, on the contrary, she is extremely shrewd, and she has calculated a lot in just a few words. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt a splitting headache, and he didn't know if he was really suffering from the cold, or if there was something lurking in his heart.

At this moment, the servant girl brought in the boiled ginger soup and said, "It's hot, please take a sip or two, sir, so as not to be shocked."

Xiao Deyin wanted to reach out to take it, but she couldn't hold it steady, so the maid served her, feeding ginger soup into Xiao Deyin's mouth spoon by spoon. There was warmth in her stomach, and her heart was a little more stable. Xiao Deyin calmed down and thought about this again. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind.

Hearing that Jiang Li, the chief assistant's daughter, brought a group of villagers from Tongxiang to Beijing to sue the imperial court. After the court discussion, she finally revealed that the person who instigated the murder of Xue Huaiyuan was Princess Yongning. Although Jiang Li took the initiative to prove that the matter was framed and perjury afterwards. But rumors spread.

Xue Huaiyuan happened to be Xue Fangfei's father.

Originally, Xiao Deyin did not expect these things. But today that person called her a princess, she thought about it, the connection between herself and Princess Yongning was because Princess Yongning liked to listen to her playing the piano, and she used to go to the princess mansion to play the piano for Princess Yongning. But then I don't know when, Princess Yongning didn't like to listen to the piano anymore.

Wait, the time when Princess Yongning stopped calling her to the Princess Mansion seemed to be exactly after Xue Fangfei died.

It seems that with a clue, it is much easier to think in this direction. Xiao Deyin recalled that before Xue Fangfei died, she was already a well-known beauty and talent in Yanjing City, but when Princess Yongning mentioned her, she always had three points of disgust. At first Xiao Deyin thought it was just because Princess Yongning was jealous of a woman who was better than him, but now it seems that it is worth investigating.

I killed Xue Fangfei myself, and Princess Yongning may also be the culprit who ordered someone to murder Xue Huaiyuan. Xue Huaiyuan is Xue Fangfei's father, and the common connection between myself and Princess Yongning lies in Xue Fangfei.

But why did Princess Yongning attack herself?

In her ears, the stranger's indifferent words "Only the dead can keep secrets" came out.

What secret does she have? She only has one secret, that is, she added something to Xue Fangfei's wine at Mother Shen's birthday banquet.

This is her secret!

In an instant, she suddenly understood why Princess Yongning wanted to kill her! When a mysterious person threatened her to kill Xue Fangfei, she thought that what she took was poison, but she never thought that it was something more sinister than poison. The identity of the mysterious person is unknown, but now that I think about it, there is a high probability that it is Princess Yongning!

It is precisely because of this that Princess Yongning wants to send someone to kill her, because she will reveal the secret! But the reason why he took action only now is because Princess Yongning came to the Shen Mansion banquet a few days ago and saw him! Maybe it was the sudden meeting that reminded Princess Yongning of such an uncontrollable crime, maybe it was the song "Guan Shanyue", not only herself, but also Princess Yongning!

It really is a vicious scheme, killing two birds with one stone!

As long as she died, no one would know that someone ordered her to take the medicine. Even if one day Xue Fangfei's case is discovered to be inappropriate, they can all be blamed on her. Because—the dead can't speak, let alone defend themselves!

How similar, what happened to Xue Fangfei back then will happen to her!

Xiao Deyin felt cold all over his body.

She knew Princess Yongning's ability, since she was able to kill Xue Fangfei calmly back then, she could also kill herself. King Cheng is so powerful and has many eyes and ears, as long as he is in Yanjing City, he will never escape.

But she has to escape, since Princess Yongning is determined to silence her, she will definitely escape.

But Xiao Deyin was terrified, he was already dead before he walked out of this mansion.

Her mind was spinning rapidly. In Yanjing City, whether she wanted to leave the city or hide, she definitely couldn't do it alone. Although she knew a lot of noble people, she had to try to curry favor with Princess Yongning. If I want to ask for asylum, I have to find someone who is not afraid of Princess Yongning and who is extremely powerful.

Who is it?

Xiao Deyin thought about it, and she really thought of such a person.

Shoufu Qianjin Jiang Li.

In all fairness, Xiao Deyin really doesn't like Jiang Li very much. There is no other reason. One of the six arts school's piano exams, Jiang Li's "Hu Jia Eighteen Beats" is amazing. under her. How could Xiao Deyin tolerate it, but Jiang Li was Jiang Yuanbai's daughter after all, so she couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, after that, Jiang Li did not demonstrate her piano skills in other places, which made Xiao Deyin relieved.

Although she doesn't like Jiang Li very much, but... At the beginning, Jiang Li dared to say that the person who ordered Feng Yutang was Princess Yongning before the court discussion. It can be seen that he is not afraid of Princess Yongning's power, and there are gossips in the court that Jiang Yuanbai and King Cheng are at odds.

If so, the Jiang family and Princess Yongning are not on the same side. The most important thing is that Jiang Li said in front of civil and military officials that Xue Huaiyuan was Xue Fangfei's father, and that the person who ordered Feng Yutang to frame Xue Huaiyuan was Princess Yongning. Did she say it unintentionally, or did she already know something?

If he knew something and said this on purpose, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"I have to think about it," Xiao Deyin murmured, "What should I do next..."

...

Jiang Li was in Jiang's mansion and learned that the people sent by Ye Mingyu had succeeded.

Ye Mingyu's actions were very fast, and the play was also very good, so no one should have noticed the clues. It is said that Xiao Deyin was pale and lost his mind at that time. Jiang Li knew that with Xiao Deyin's intelligence, he would be able to connect this matter to Xue Fangfei soon, and then think of Princess Yongning.

Dog bites dog, mouth hair, now is not the time for them to bite each other, at least let them find out who their opponent is.

It will take some time for Haitang's fake pregnancy medicine to be made. In the following days, Jiang Li was rarely free again.

Soon after, Shen Ruyun was going to get married.

Mrs. Jiang didn't receive the invitation. In fact, Ningyuan Hou's mansion really didn't have the face to send an invitation to the Jiang family. After all, it was Jiang Youyao who was betrothed to Zhou Yanbang back then, if Zhou Yanbang hadn't committed such a scandal himself, the lady who is now the wife of Zhou's family should also be the young lady of Jiang's family.

Although Mrs. Jiang did not receive the invitation and did not intend to attend the ceremony, Jiang Yuanbai still secretly sent a few people to sneak in among the crowd watching the ceremony. It was probably to find Jiang Youyao's trace. Jiang Youyao has not disappeared yet. If she is still in Yanjing City and is still free, Zhou Yanbang is her lifelong wish. On the day of marriage, Jiang Youyao must come and see her.

Jiang Yuanbai thought, as long as Jiang Youyao went, he could find her.

When Jiang Li heard the news, she just smiled lightly, noncommittal. Even if Jiang Youyao really went, she was just asking for shame.

While folding the clothes, Tong'er said: "Now that Miss Shen is going to marry the heir of Ningyuan Hou's mansion, Fifth Miss is probably going to be furious. Fifth Miss has always been high-spirited, and now she is a concubine when someone is a wife. uneven."

"She already knew about the distinction between wives and concubines." Jiang Li smiled, "But she thinks that marrying Zhou Yanbang as a concubine is better than being a wife to a commoner. This is her own choice."

Jiang Li also asked Jiang Yu'e about it when he was playing for Zhou Yanbang. If Jiang Yu'e hesitated at that time, it would not be what it is today. However, Jiang Yu'e was determined to enter Ningyuan Hou's mansion, even if it was to be Zhou Yanbang's concubine. She has a bit of appearance like this, she is from an ordinary background, but she is extremely restless, and she can't wait for a woman who wants to climb up. Jiang Li has never seen a woman.

It's all their own cause and effect.

"But the third master looks really scary." Tong'er thought for a while, and said: "When I went to the kitchen today, I saw the third master in the yard. Although the third master is not very close to the master and the second master, it can be regarded as Harmony. You have to smile on weekdays, but you don't know when, you have become indifferent. Could it be that you have suffered from the third lady?"

Mrs. Yang is always aggressive, and every time Jiang Yuanxing is scolded by Mrs. Yang for being incompetent, everyone in the house knows it.

Jiang Li couldn't help but fell into deep thought when she heard this.

Jiang Yuanxing didn't agree with Jiang Yu'e to be a concubine at first. He was a concubine himself and knew the hard work involved. It's just that Jiang Yu'e was lying with Zhou Yanbang in full view, so she was already at a disadvantage. If you don't marry Zhou Yanbang, there may not be any good people who will marry her in the future, maybe it will be worse than marrying Zhou Yanbang as a concubine.

Helpless, Jiang Yuanxing had no choice but to agree to the matter. But it seems that from that day on, Jiang Yuanxing became gloomy. He seemed to have a prejudice against the eldest and second wife, and his behavior became more unfamiliar and polite. Even though Yang Shi was as pungent as ever, Jiang Li thought that Yang's pungentness and smile were different from Lu's. Yang has hypocrisy and calculation in his bones.

Now that Shen Ruyun is married to the Zhou family, Jiang Li also knows that the relationship between Jiang Yu'e and Shen Yurong will not be peaceful. Jiang Li also believed that Zhou Yanbang would definitely not let the relationship between these two women be peaceful. Sanfang was still so calm, which made Jiang Li feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Always feel like something is wrong.

She thought for a while, and told Tong'er: "Tong'er, you have been in the mansion recently, and you have been walking around with the maids of the third room, don't want to be discovered, and ask, what is the difference between the third room and the usual. "

"Sanfang?" Tong'er was a little surprised. After all, Sanfang Zilai and Jiang Li had no relationship, so it was a bit strange to ask. But Tong'er knew that Jiang Li had her own reasons for doing things, so she nodded obediently and said: "Your servant understands, girl don't worry."

Jiang Li looked out of the window, the wind and waves outside were calm, it was a good weather, the sun was warm and warm, looking at the sky, it seemed that she could see the beaming wedding party outside beating gongs and drums.

I don't know what's going on in Ningyuanhou Mansion now.

Jiang Li smiled and closed the window.

...

Ningyuan Hou Mansion is extremely lively today.

Zhou Yanbang, the eldest son of Marquis of Ningyuan, got married, and many people came to watch the ceremony. Part of this is naturally due to the friendship with the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, but more people come for the bride's side.

The elder brother of the bride is exactly Mr. Shen Yurong, the official of Zhongshushe, who is now deeply favored by the imperial court. In order to make friends with this young adult, there are not a few people who come to watch the ceremony to support the bride.

Ningyuanhou and Mrs. Ningyuanhou were also full of smiles. Although the marriage with the first assistant Jiang's family had broken up, the Shen family was not bad after all. Although the Jiang family has a big family and a great career, but the daughter of the Jiang family will inevitably have to be a little bit coddled. In the future, if they marry into the family, they must not be worshiped like a bodhisattva? This young lady from the Shen family will be much easier to control.

What's more, in the 30 years of Hedong and the 30 years of Hexi, looking at the recent accidents in Jiang's family one after another, it is not known how long the Jiang family will be lively. If something happened to Jiang Yuanbai, and something happened to Jiang Yuanping again, wouldn't the Jiang family fall down and the monkeys would disperse, and anyone who finds the young lady of the Jiang family would be called unlucky. The Shen family is different. From the looks of it, this Mr. Shen's future is going well and will not decline for a long time.

Thinking about it this way, the smile on the face of the second elder of the Zhou family became more real.

Shen's mother was also invited as a guest today, and her daughter could marry a Marquis, which was something she never dared to think about before. Besides, Zhou Yanbangsheng's outstanding talent is also pleasing to watch. Shen Ruyun herself also likes this husband very much, Shen's mother thinks that there is nothing more complete than this in the world. The strange thing is that Shen's mother is harsh to other people, but very tolerant to her own daughter. The same is true for Shen Yurong, probably because in order to support Shen Yurong's education, Shen Ruyun had to do needlework with Shen's mother at a young age to subsidize the family. After Shen Yurong became prosperous, she was always full of guilt towards this younger sister, and she always let them and pampered them on weekdays.

But he didn't expect that he could let his mother and sister go, but others didn't need to make sacrifices for his mother and sister's grievances.

There was a sudden commotion outside, it turned out that the bridegroom had arrived.

Zhou Yanbang walked in.

Half a year ago, Zhou Yanbang was still a well-known handsome man in Yanjing City, gentle and elegant, and personable. Today's Zhou Yanbang is much fatter than he was half a year ago. So much so that his originally handsome face was a little deformed and swollen. His expression is also sleepy, although he has been specially groomed and groomed today, he still looks not energetic.

Naturally, he was not very energetic. The Zhou family found him in the Goulan flower shop this morning. If he hadn't been dragged back abruptly, he might still be having fun in a place where he shouldn't be at today's wedding banquet, drunk and dreaming of death.

Even now, he probably still hasn't sobered up from the drink last night, and his eyes are dull.

Shen Yurong's gaze turned cold.

Zhou Yanbang has been in a slump ever since the accident at the banquet. He has no hope of official career and has become a laughing stock among the noble children of Yanjing City. Everyone will praise him when they see him. The sneer in the words is not concealed. If there is too much, Zhou Yanbang will give up on himself and hang around in brothels all day long, drinking and gambling, just like the helplessness on the street.

This made Zhou Yanbang's parents cry. The Zhou family had no marriage contract with the Jiang family, but had a marriage contract with the Shen family again. What if Shen Yurong found out about Zhou Yanbang's nonsense? They couldn't control this son, so they often helped Zhou Yanbang cover up. But nothing could be done seamlessly, Shen Yurong had already personally visited the Zhou family to warn the Zhou family several times. At first, Marquis Ning Yuan could still have Zhou Yanbang tied up, but he couldn't be tied up every day. Whenever there is an opportunity, Zhou Yanbang will sneak out and mess around.

The Zhou family thought that if this went on like this, the Shen family would definitely not agree to this marriage. But in the end, the Shen family warned the ghosts and did not propose the dissolution of the engagement, so the Ningyuan Hou Mansion was relieved. He thought it was probably because Shen Ruyun was caught having an affair with Zhou Yanbang, and the reputation of his daughter's family was important, so he could only bite the bullet and marry into the Zhou family.

Of course, Shen Yurong didn't think so.

Standing in front of the crowd, he looked at Zhou Yanbang's scoundrel with a stern expression, without cherishing or being careful, as if he was treating a girl from a brothel, he took Shen Ruyun's hand. Very casual.

Shen Yurong felt like a fire was burning in his heart, but reason told him he couldn't, besides... Shen Ruyun herself was also happy.

Shen Ruyun has long liked Zhou Yanbang very much. In order to marry Zhou Yanbang, she even used her own reputation as a trick. In front of everyone, the deal was done, so Zhou Yanbang had no choice but to marry her. As a woman, she didn't even want her own self-esteem. But Shen Yurong was a man, and he could tell that Zhou Yanbang had no affection for Shen Ruyun, not even a good impression, after Shen Ruyun entered the door. It is bound to suffer a lot.

But he couldn't stop Shen Ruyun, nor could he stop Shen's mother. Shen Yurong knew that even if the Zhou family didn't dare to do anything to Shen Ruyun temporarily because of his status, it was not a long-term solution. It is impossible for Shen Yurong to keep an eye on the Zhou family all the time for the water splashed by the married daughter. Zhou Yanbang's virtue would make Shen Ruyun suffer a lot. Shen Ruyun's hard days are yet to come.

Thinking of this, Shen Yurong couldn't help but feel a little headache. He thought, if women are stupid, they will be annoying. If it was Xue Fangfei, she would definitely not. She was naturally smart and would not let herself fall into such a passive situation. But... he thought about it again, and thought that he was being ridiculous. Although Xue Fangfei did not marry Zhou Yanbang, she married Shen Yurong. Shen Ruyun married to Zhou's family and she had her life, but Xue Fangfei married to Shen's family, but she lost her life.

In this way, isn't Xue Fangfei more stupid than Shen Ruyun?

He smiled, but he didn't know if he was laughing at himself or someone else.

Shen Ruyun was led by Zhou Yanbang, she could hardly restrain her joy, and it flowed out from the bottom of her heart, like a spring in spring, the endless stream was happiness. She actually had a dream come true!

She likes Zhou Yanbang, she has liked it since a long time ago. She has always known the distance between herself and Zhou Yanbang, and it is destined that she can only watch her from afar. Zhou Yanbang even had a marriage contract long ago, and the other party was the daughter of the chief assistant. Everything changed from the day when Shen Yurong became the number one scholar. She was no longer the daughter of a commoner, but the younger sister of the number one scholar. And it seems that in order to compensate her for the hard work of the past ten years, God actually gave her a chance, took advantage of it, and let Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang's marriage be dissolved, and she herself married into Zhou's family.

Even God is helping her.

Holding the hand of his sweetheart, Shen Ruyun was very satisfied. If it is not necessary to cover her head at this moment, she even wants to see the envious or jealous eyes of the people around her.

All this is thanks to her brother, by the way, and the princess who is golden and jade. Princess Yongning told her early in the morning: "You can marry whoever you want. For me, this is not very difficult."

So she helped Princess Yongning speak well in front of Shen Yurong, but she still couldn't figure out why her brother didn't marry this princess earlier. Anyway, everyone in the world knew that Xue Fangfei had cuckolded her elder brother, and it was only natural for her elder brother to remarry, and even others applauded her.

As long as she marries Princess Yongning and enters the door, from now on, the Shen family will only get better.

But she dared not say these words to Shen Yurong. He dared before, but since Xue Fangfei's death, Shen Yurong has become more and more strange and terrifying.

Shen Ruyun didn't like Xue Fangfei, not at first. Perhaps it was because Xue Fangfei was so beautiful, standing with Xue Fangfei, she became a dust without light. Or maybe it was because Xue Fangfei was just the daughter of a petty official, but she was proficient in all kinds of poems and songs, so she was worthless compared to Xue Fangfei. In front of Xue Fangfei, Shen Ruyun always had an inexplicable inferiority complex. The more inferior she was, the more she wanted to show that she was still superior to Xue Fangfei by causing trouble for Xue Fangfei. She is Xue Fangfei's sister-in-law, Xue Fangfei naturally wants to help her.

Xue Fangfei also knew about Shen Ruyun's favor for Zhou Yanbang, but she didn't encourage herself and help herself solve problems like Princess Yongning, but smiled, as if she understood everything, and seemed to be looking at Shen Ruyun. Smile, knowing that in the end it was just an impossible dream.

Facts have proved that he is right, and the omnipotent Xue Fangfei is wrong. And Xue Fangfei is dead.

Under the veil, Shen Ruyun frowned. She really didn't know why she would suddenly think of Xue Fangfei on the day of great joy, but what was certain was that thinking of Xue Fangfei made her very uncomfortable, as if her chest was blocked by a stone. It's boring.

She shook her head, as if she wanted to forget about Xue Fangfei, holding her hand felt so warm, from now on, she was the crown prince.

Shen Ruyun couldn't see that there was still one person standing among the crowd, among the members of the Zhou family.

She had a pretty face, and she was wearing a pink silk dress today, lightly smeared with makeup, not heavy makeup, but she looked extraordinarily beautiful. She smiled, but stared at Shen Ruyun without blinking.

This person is Jiang Yu'e.

She looked at Shen Yurong, but unwillingly tightened the handkerchief with her hands in her sleeves.

Not reconciled.

Obviously that Shen Ruyun was inferior to her in everything, in terms of appearance, bearing, and speech. Although she is the daughter of a concubine, in Shen's family, she hasn't left behind anything she should learn. In Mingyi Hall, she can be considered a talented woman. What does Shen Ruyun have? She is nothing more than a commoner's daughter who barely reads a few characters and knows nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but because of an official elder brother, she can occupy the position of wife?

During these days, she managed to make Zhou Yanbang treat her better slowly. Now, is it because of Shen Ruyun's existence that everything will return to the starting point? No way!

Jiang Yu'e fiercely twisted the handkerchief into a hemp rope, but her eyes became more and more resentful, staring firmly at Zhou Yanbang. It seems that there are infinite grievances and feelings that cannot be expressed.

This look was seen by Zhou Yanbang, the young woman's deep feelings and resentment were unavoidably shaken. But this gaze was also seen by Shen Yurong.

Shen Yurong sneered in her heart.

Seeing that sneer, Zhou Yanbang was shocked, looked away, and stopped looking at Jiang Yu'e. Jiang Yu'e was greatly disappointed, but secretly thinking in her heart, how to win Zhou Yanbang, how... to make Shen Ruyun lose power.
