Marriage of the Di Daughter

"Ma'am, something happened to the young master!"

Madam Ning Yuanhou was startled, and asked sharply: "What happened, why are you so panicked?"

The maid was about to speak, but she saw the surprised eyes of a group of ladies around Mrs. Ning Yuan Hou, she couldn't speak immediately, she just faltered with a blushing face, as if she couldn't speak.

Madam Ningyuan Hou saw this maid's attitude, her heart gave a "thud", as if a heavy stone had been dropped, sinking heavily.

It was about her fiancé, but Jiang Youyao couldn't help it, she stepped forward and asked, "What happened to Prince Zhou?"

The servant girl seemed to have just seen Jiang Youyao, and became even more panicked. She avoided Jiang Youyao's questioning, but her eyes fell on Yang Shi faintly.

Yang was a little confused, but Ji Shuran suddenly glanced at Jiang Li, but seeing Jiang Li standing upright with a smile on her lips, a terrible thought filled her mind.

"No matter what," Mrs. Ningyuan Hou didn't care about anything, she just said to the maid: "Where is the young master? Take me there!"

The servant girl's voice was filled with tears, and said: "Master and the others are all in Yuxiu Pavilion... There are many adults accompanying him, Madam... The young master is not doing well this time!"

She didn't quite understand what she said, but when everyone saw the appearance of this maid, they understood a little bit. If it is purely bad, how can it be so secretive, saying it is bad is clearly a scandal. Since many adults who accompanied him saw it, it's okay if they don't know for a while. When you go back to the house and ask the master, you will naturally know what happened.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou swayed and nearly fell down. She has also been the housewife in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion for many years, and from the look of this maid, she probably knows what happened. But when I heard that there were many people present, I felt bad immediately. Since it is a scandal, it is natural that the fewer people know about it, the better. The more people can see it, it will be impossible to cover it up in the future.

Jiang Li stood beside Ji Heng with a gentle smile on her face. Either Zhou Yanbang was stupid, or Zhou Yanbang was full of guts, Hong Xiaodi was chatting with his courtiers about current affairs, but it was in the side hall not far from Yuxiu Pavilion. The hatchbacks are so close, once Shen Ruyun is about to make trouble, these adults will of course be able to arrive in the shortest time to find out what's going on.

In this way, Zhou Yanbang's matter was known to the entire court, and her painstaking efforts were not in vain.

Ji Heng looked at the smile on the corner of Jiang Li's mouth and thought it was funny, but she also imitated her and stood still, just holding the fan handle against her lips to cover up the smile on the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Youyao didn't think about it that much, she cared about it, and it was about Zhou Yanbang, so she couldn't care about anything, she just said: "Yuxiu Pavilion? Ma'am, let me go with you, mother," she pulled La Ji Shuran sleeve, "Let's go and see together!"

Ji Shuran can't wait to cover Jiang Youyao's most tender. When Jiang Youyao said that, other people would not think anything of it. In Yan Dynasty, it is understandable that men and women who have already been engaged should be closer. But those wives guessed the secret, and looked at Jiang Youyao with some sympathy.

It's not that Ji Shuran was confused by Jiang Youyao's words, and it's not that he didn't go. Mrs. Liu spoke slowly, and she said: "No matter what? Staying here is not an option. After the meeting, everyone should return to the house after the banquet. Let's go out to the water promenade first. It's not early, so we go back house."

But it gave Ningyuan Hou Shizi a step down.

Liu Xu turned her head away in disdain, if it were her, she wouldn't let these people down the stairs, but wanted to see what was going on with her own eyes.

Mrs. Ningyuanhou smiled gratefully at Mrs. Liu, and said, "That's the case, let's go back first." When walking, her footsteps were a little vain.

Jiang Li saw it, but didn't say a word. It was Ji Shuran who came over, looked into Jiang Li's eyes, and asked softly, "Does Li'er know what's going on?"

After all, the suspicion fell on her.

Jiang Li showed a surprised look at the right time, and shook her head: "I have been with the Duke, so how do I know about Zhou Shizi? What my mother said is strange."

Ji Shuran looked at Ji Heng again, obviously she was very beautiful, but the amber eyes glanced lightly, which made Ji Shuran feel a chill.

She didn't speak any more immediately, just forced a smile, and went after Ji Chen in front, intending to discuss with Ji Chen.

Ye Shijie fell behind, met Jiang Li's eyes, hesitated to speak, probably saw that Ji Heng was on the side, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he moved his lips, bowed his head and left with the crowd.

Ji Heng and Jiang Li walked last.

Jiang Li walked faster, deliberately keeping a distance from Ji Heng, and kept walking with her head buried. However, Ji Heng is tall and has long legs, and walks unhurriedly, but she always keeps pace with Jiang Li, evenly matched.

He said leisurely: "Miss Jiang Er's acting skills are even more wonderful than Liu Sheng in the lovesickness class."

Jiang Li just felt a chill in her heart. You must know that Liu Sheng from the lovesickness class was not beaten by the master in front of him because he wanted to climb the bed.

Isn't Ji Heng implying something?

Jiang Li was thinking hard, but her mouth was not idle, and she said: "Master Guo misunderstood, I am not interested in acting."

"Actors don't need to be interested," Ji Heng said with a smile, "Just do it well."

Jiang Li really didn't know what Duke Su meant, but she had to cheer up to deal with Ji Heng. Because Ji Heng really doesn't look like a good person.

Who knows what he is planning in his mind? You must know that even Emperor Hong Xiao was calculated by him.

Thinking that Ji Heng might have turned to King Cheng, Jiang Li shuddered.

Ji Heng doesn't have the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers. This is no longer cruel, and there is nothing arrogance that can be placed in his eyes.

Jiang Li thinks that even if this kind of person is a beauty, it is better to stay away.

Ji Heng didn't speak anymore, but just walked leisurely with Jiang Li. The backs of the two of them, one is beautiful and thin, the other is luxurious and coquettish, they are clearly irrelevant, but they are drawn together by the shadows cast by the lights on the ground, showing a lingering posture, which fits too well.

After passing through the water corridor, he had to go to the direction of leaving the palace and wait for his master.

A group of ladies were walking when they suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Mother!"

The voice was very shrill, and when everyone looked at it, they found that outside a pavilion, there was a woman who was described as being in a state of distress, stumbling towards Shen Yurong's mother, Shen's mother.

That woman is Shen Ruyun.

Even Jiang Li was a little surprised. You must know that her original intention was to let Shen Ruyun catch Jiang Yu'e and Zhou Yanbang having an affair, and attract others under jealousy. Know what happened.

Is there any surprise in it?

Madam Liu, who was holding Liu Xu's hand, had a fleeting smile on her face.

Just now others only paid attention to the maidservant who came to report to Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, but she heard the maidservant say the word Yuxiu Pavilion. Knowing that he would pass Yuxiu Pavilion on the way out of the palace, he proposed to leave the palace immediately. Mrs. Ningyuan Hou was also concerned about it, and she didn't notice the euphemism at all. Even Lipin and the others, who are familiar with Gongzhong Road, will not remind them because they have an attitude that it has nothing to do with them.

Mrs. Liu has no grudge against the Ningyuanhou's mansion, she just complains about Jiang Li. The daughter of my good friend Ye Zhenzhen is obviously a sensible and well-behaved girl, but she has suffered many crimes for no reason. The Marquis of Ningyuan also betrayed their promises, so how could they change their marriage halfway? Now that she heard about Zhou Yanbang's accident, Mrs. Liu didn't feel sympathy, on the contrary, she was a little happy, she just felt that God had opened her eyes. That being the case, wouldn't it be a disappointment to God's good intentions not to take everyone to see how Zhou Yanbang's "accident happened"?

She wouldn't let Ningyuan Hou's mansion step down with good intentions!

Shen Ruyun threw herself in front of Shen's mother, and almost fainted, only then did everyone see clearly that Shen Ruyun was already crying and very pitiful.

"Mother, mother..."

"Ruyun, what's wrong with you?" Mother Shen asked anxiously.

"Mother, Ning Yuanhou Shizi... he... despised me!"

There was a "puchi", but some lady from the official family couldn't help laughing out loud. Naturally, a woman who has been treated lightly, although angry, will not speak out. It has nothing to do with her daughter's thin skin. It is always unbeautiful to say such things in front of the public. But Shen Ruyun said this very loudly, as if she was afraid that others would not hear her. Or is it originally from a small family, so I don't know the rules?

Shen's mother immediately gave the girl a gloomy look, and the laughing young lady immediately fell silent, and was so frightened that she went straight to her mother's body.

Shen Ruyun was still crying out of breath.

Jiang Li was surprised, this matter was beyond her expectation. Based on her speculation, although Zhou Yanbang was indeed a hypocrite, he would never underestimate Shen Ruyun, because Shen Ruyun was just a stranger to him. Besides, Jiang Yu'e was still there at the time, Zhou Yanbang...how could there be any spare time?

At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Shen Ruyun who was being held in Shen's mother's arms, and she blinked her eyes, not in a sad look, but as if she was triumphant of some kind of scheme.

Jiang Li only suspected that she was wrong, so she glanced at her again. This time, although she didn't see Shen Ruyun's eyes just now, she found that Shen Ruyun's clothes were messed up this week, and her messy hair seemed very deliberate. Besides, no one has been molested, the whole body is in a mess, but the shoes are not stained with mud, the hairpins are also very neatly worn, and the earrings are not missing.

It's just too weird.

Jiang Li suddenly thought of a possibility.

She looked at Shen Ruyun in disbelief. If her guess was true, then even as Shen Ruyun's sister-in-law, she would be astonished by Shen Ruyun's boldness.

Shen Ruyun kept saying that Zhou Yanbang would belittle her, but Jiang Youyao was furious when she heard the words. Before Mrs. Ning Yuanhou could speak, she took the lead to stand up: "Nonsense, how could the prince of Zhou be contemptuous of you! The prince of Zhou is upright, you must be the one who slandered Zhou." Son!"

In the eyes of everyone, it is actually somewhat impossible. Although Shen Ruyun can be considered to have good facial features, compared to Jiang Youyao, she is much inferior. Leaving Jiang Youyao such a beautiful girl alone, but belittled Shen Ruyun, who is far less beautiful, in the eyes of others, unless Zhou Yanbang is a fool, there is no way to explain it.

Seeing that Jiang Youyao acted like Zhou Yanbang's main wife, Shen Ruyun was annoyed, and jealousy welled up in her heart for a moment, but she didn't even think about it, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, he not only belittled me, even Miss Fifth in your house , and also frivolous!"

Jiang Yu'e!

Ji Shuran was in a daze, and subconsciously looked at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was also dumbfounded, she couldn't find Jiang Yu'e in the first place, she was very anxious, now she heard Shen Ruyun's words, she was struck by lightning.

Unlike others, if what Shen Ruyun said was true, it would not be difficult for Shen Ruyun's number one sister to marry Zhou Yanbang. But how could Jiang Yu'e compare with Shen Ruyun? Do you want to be Zhou Yanbang's concubine? Even if he did it, how could Da Fang spare her?

Yang muttered, "Impossible..."

"How is it impossible?" Shen Ruyun immediately said: "The emperor and all the ministers have seen with their own eyes that Miss Jiang Si was... all..." She didn't continue.

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou felt dizzy. God, what did Zhou Yanbang do! Why did he suddenly become entangled with two strange ladies, and why was he seen by the emperor again!

Zhou Yanbang is ruined!

Jiang Youyao took two steps back, only feeling that she lost strength all over her body. Although she still shouted "impossible", she already believed it seventy percent in her heart.

Since Shen Ruyun said that the emperor and all the ministers saw it with their own eyes, it can be seen that it is not a lie. Jiang Youyao felt her heart ache for a moment, she didn't understand why Zhou Yanbang did this, Shen Ruyun was fine, Jiang Yu'e was from the Jiang family, Zhou Yanbang was slapping her in the face! How to let her deal with herself in the future! Do you want Jiang Yu'e to marry in as a concubine, and the sisters will serve one husband together? Even if she is the main wife, Jiang Youyao will never allow it!

At this time, Jiang Youyao still regarded herself as Zhou Yanbang's official wife, probably Jiang Youyao also thought that after this incident, Zhou Yanbang would still marry herself.

However, Jiang Li could see clearly that it was impossible for Jiang Youyao to marry Zhou Yanbang.

It was only because Shen Ruyun also came in to intervene.

If Shen Ruyun hadn't been involved, everyone would have known the scandal of Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Yu'e. But Jiang Yu'e is the daughter of a concubine after all, and her status is different. It is very common for Jiang Youyao to hold her head. It's just that Zhou Yanbang's official career is unlikely to rise in the future. Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang have lived for a long time, and there will always be quarrels. And throwing Jiang Yu'e in and letting the sisters fight each other just saved Jiang Li's trouble.

But Shen Ruyun was "lightened" by Zhou Yanbang.

Shen Ruyun is an upstart in the imperial court, Shen Yurong's biological sister. Now that Emperor Hong Xiao valued Shen Yurong again, he would definitely serve as the master for Shen Yurong. Shen Ruyun was full of only Zhou Yanbang, so of course he couldn't bear Zhou Yanbang's punishment. The best solution was for Shen Ruyun to marry Zhou Yanbang.

Shen Ruyun got what she wanted.

Jiang Li was almost certain that the so-called Zhou Yanbang's "frivolous" Shen Ruyun must have been fabricated by Shen Ruyun himself. Around that time Zhou Yanbang himself was also unconscious, but Shen Ruyun seized the opportunity to rely on Zhou Yanbang for an excuse.

Jiang Li didn't know how Shen Ruyun came up with this trick, but she couldn't help but admire Shen Ruyun. Shen Ruyun wholeheartedly wanted to marry Zhou Yanbang, and now she achieved her goal in this way. She originally thought that this sister-in-law would just make a fuss stupidly, but now she discovered that Shen Ruyun still had a lot of brains at certain times.

Just like now.

At this moment, some noisy voices came from the front. The ladies all looked in the direction of the voices, but saw many people who looked like courtiers gathered together at the door of the attic, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Seeing this, Shen Ruyun immediately choked up and said, "Look, that's them."

Jiang Youyao's heart fluctuated violently, and when she heard that Zhou Yanbang was in front, she ran forward regardless of Ji Shuran's obstruction. Those standing at the entrance of Yuxiu Pavilion were all ministers, all of whom were unwilling to get their eyes dirty. Jiang Yuanbai was also here, seeing Jiang Youyao, he immediately said: "Youyao."

Jiang Youyao ran to the door.

But seeing the mess in Yuxiu Pavilion, exuding a certain intriguing smell. Both Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Yu'e should have woken up, but their clothes were a little messy, and they should have been put on hastily. Zhou Yanbang's face was flushed, as if he was very embarrassed. Jiang Yu'e looked at Jiang Youyao, and called out pitifully, "Third Sister."

Jiang Youyao walked forward in three steps and two steps in parallel, without even thinking about it, she raised her hand and slapped Jiang Yu'e with a "slap".

Jiang Yu'e's body tilted violently after being beaten, but she didn't move. She just covered her face with tears streaming down her face: "Sister San, I...I'm sorry for you."

Jiang Youyao looked at Zhou Yanbang again, and asked sadly, "Your Majesty Zhou, you...how could you be like this?"

"I, I don't know." Zhou Yanbang was also very confused. He didn't know what happened at all. He remembered that he had made an appointment with Jiang Li. Later, Jiang Li came, and the two of them rubbed each other's ears. Afterwards, his memory was a little fuzzy until someone The woman's screams woke him up, but it was a strange woman who kept saying that she had molested her. Then the emperor, his father, and some ministers from the court came, but Jiang Yu'e was the one sleeping next to him.

Zhou Yanbang couldn't remember anything. But seeing Jiang Youyao beating Jiang Yu'e, and Jiang Yu'e covering her face to endure the grievance, he felt that Jiang Yu'e was very pitiful, and could not help but feel compassion. Besides, Jiang Youyao has always looked like an innocent girl in front of him, how have you ever seen her so barbaric?

Standing in the crowd, Jiang Li was a little puzzled seeing Zhou Yanbang acting like this. It stands to reason that Jiang Yu'e was the only one who drank the medicinal wine, and Zhou Yanbang also looked dizzy and unclear.

"What is Second Miss thinking?" Ji Heng asked suddenly.

"I'm wondering why Zhou Shizi can't remember anything, whether it's his excuse."

Ji Heng smiled lightly.

Jiang Li raised her head, looked at him suspiciously, but saw him shake his fan meaningfully, and suddenly realized.

This person likes watching plays so much, watching the excitement is no big deal, since he knew his plan from the beginning, could it be that he added a handful of firewood to it to make the play more exciting?

Could it be that Zhou Yanbang's virtue was bestowed by him?

Jiang Li was in a complicated mood, and really didn't know what to say. There is nothing good about Ji Heng, but on this matter, he did a good thing, but it achieved an unexpected effect.

Presumably, Shen Ruyun had an idea when he saw Zhou Yanbang unconscious, and came up with such a sinister method.

Is this a mistake?

Just because she felt that Ji Heng had done a good deed, Jiang Li looked at him with a gentler look. But Ji Heng didn't seem to see it, still smiling and watching the unfinished play in front of him.

Jiang Yuanbai couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled Jiang Youyao out and handed her over to Ji Shuran. Seeing it with her own eyes, Jiang Youyao's heart was broken, and she couldn't care about anything else at the moment, she fell into Ji Shuran's arms and began to cry silently.

Emperor Hong Xiao had already left, and it was said that he couldn't bear to see such a dirty scene.

But how does this drama end? Jiang Li was also very curious, Zhou Yanbang would definitely be taken back to the mansion for the time being, and the Ningyuan Hou Mansion discussed and gave an explanation. But how did Jiang Yu'e deal with the big house's anger, Jiang Yu'e robbed Jiang Youyao's fiancé, Jiang Li didn't believe that Jiang Youyao would let it go.

Furthermore, Jiang Li glanced at it casually, and Shen Yurong hadn't appeared yet.

Just when I thought about this, I saw a person hurriedly approaching from outside the crowd. When Shen Ruyun saw this person, he called out: "Brother!"

Shen Yurong is here.

Marquis Ning Yuan was anxious about what to do next, when he saw Shen Yurong coming, one head and two big. Their Ningyuan Hou Mansion has a big family and a big business, but this Zhongshu Shelang is now a celebrity in front of the emperor. Shen Yurong has only one younger sister, Shen Ruyun, and her own sister has been bullied, how can she not seek justice.

Ningyuan Hou Mansion is in a dilemma.

Leaving Jiang Yu'e's status aside, Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao already have a marriage contract. One is the daughter of the chief minister of the dynasty, and the other is the younger sister of Zhongshu Shelang. Neither of them can afford to offend, but it seems that they have offended both sides.

"Yurong, why did you come here?" Mother Shen cried, "Your sister has been bullied!"

Jiang Li sneered in her heart, why did she come here? Naturally, it was such a precious time to meet with Princess Yongning.

Sure enough, not long after Shen Yurong appeared, Jiang Li saw the graceful figure of a woman who came unhurriedly from the dark night, who is it if it's not Princess Yongning?

It really doesn't leave any time behind, the husband sings and the wife follows.

Jiang Li stared at Princess Yongning, trying her best to conceal her cold expression, but Ji Heng had a panoramic view. He held the handle of the fan thoughtfully, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Princess Yongning came to join in the fun unhurriedly, asking what happened with a look of surprise.

Shen Yurong hurriedly comforted Shen Ruyun a few words, then stood up and walked towards Zhou Yanbang who stood with Jiang Yu'e, who didn't know what to do.

Zhou Yanbang didn't know if it was because of the medicine that he hadn't fully awakened yet, as if he didn't know how to be afraid, and didn't know how serious the matter was, he was still a little dizzy.

Seeing him like this, Shen Yurong walked directly in front of Ning Yuanhou, and said to Ning Yuanhou, "Master Zhou, I should give my sister an explanation for this matter."

In front of so many colleagues, Ning Yuanhou was a little annoyed by a young junior speaking in such a tough manner, but he also knew that Zhou Yanbang was at fault for what happened today. With three points of guilt, he said: "It's the old man's inability to teach his son well, that's why this bad boy got into such a catastrophic disaster. You don't need to say much, Mrs. Shen. I will definitely let the bad boy explain this to your sister!"

Shen Yurong stood out for her younger sister so much, the noble ladies around her were all envious when they saw it, and Shen Yurong was good-looking, many people looked at him with a little bit of admiration.

Jiang Li sneered, pretending to be such a righteous gentleman, who knew that he killed his wife and heirs just to climb up? It's really shameless.

But he was born with a deceptive good skin, which attracts women.

Ji Heng said: "Master Xiao Shen is very responsible."

Jiang Li wanted to ignore it, but when she heard others praise Shen Yurong, she couldn't help but refute, and immediately replied in a neutral way: "The Duke has very low requirements for people."

"Second Miss doesn't like Master Xiao Shen?" Ji Heng asked back, "Strange, Master Xiao Shen is handsome and gentle, why don't you like him?"

Jiang Li sneered: "Death is a pile of bones, why do you like it?"

"Second Miss has a refined Buddha nature," Ji Heng said, "It turns out that you don't look at appearances."

Only then did Jiang Li remember that the Duke in front of him is not only fond of the beautiful, but also ugly, and the most important thing is to look at people's appearance? She didn't know why she confronted Ji Heng tit for tat, so she said, "Then Mr. Shen is so beautiful, the Duke of the State might as well consider taking it to the mansion, it will also be a fragrance."

The said Shen Yurong is like a petite boy.

It took me a while to get Ji Heng's answer, and I don't know if I was choked by Jiang Li's words. Jiang Li was about to look up at him when he heard Ji Heng's voice. , astonishing."

It means that she has even seen these things, she is not a serious lady at all!

Jiang Li was too lazy to talk. She was not a native of Yanjing City, nor was she a lady of any family. She hated restraint and loved freedom. Others could see her however she wanted. Now, she just wanted to see what happened to Zhou Yanbang.

But at the other end, Princess Yongning finally listened to the ins and outs of the maid's mouth, rolled her eyes, and walked forward.

In front of Cheng Wang's younger sister, Concubine Liu's favorite daughter, everyone is three points shorter. Princess Yongning smiled and said, "How can I explain this? The reputation of my daughter's family is the most important thing. Miss Shen is also a serious lady. If she is treated so lightly and frivolously, how will she marry in the future?" She glanced at Zhou Yanbang who was in a daze, With a chuckle, "Fortunately, your two families are in the same family, so it's not difficult to talk about it, so let Ningyuan Hou Shizi go to Miss Zhou, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Jiang Youyao froze and looked at Princess Yongning in disbelief.

Shen Ruyun prostrated in Shen's mother's arms, trying her best to hide the ecstasy in her eyes.

Jiang Yu'e, however, was uneasy. Princess Yongning's explanation only mentioned Shen Ruyun, but did not mention herself. Could it be because she is the daughter of a concubine and is not worthy to be compared with Shen Ruyun? Jiang Yu'e felt deeply humiliated, so she had to lower her head and look at her skirt unwillingly.

Jiang Li's hands were tucked into her sleeves, and she couldn't help clenching her fists, and the smile on her lips was also ironic.

Princess Yongning is a good master, she clearly has insight into Shen Ruyun's mind, and this is to go along with the flow to please my sister-in-law. Perhaps it wasn't to please my sister-in-law, because Princess Yongning's temper disdains Shen Ruyun. It was nothing more than helping Shen Ruyun, and Shen Yurong was also grateful to her.

If it was just suspicion before, the Shen family knew about the relationship between Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong a long time ago. Now, Jiang Li can be sure.

They did know already.
