The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

"I'm afraid you're here today not just to see my grandmother, what else can you do?" Mrs. Jiang said. Long before Jiang Ruan arrived, a servant girl had come to report the incident outside the gate of Yanhua Garden. Jiang Ruan proposed to find her to solve the matter. Mrs. Jiang was also very surprised, and then she understood in her heart. This big girl was not in Jiang Quan's favor, and her stepmother was not a kind person, so relying on her as a grandmother was the only way out, but if she wanted to please her and help Nanny Zhou, she was unwilling.

Before Jiang Ruan opened his mouth, he heard a report from a maid outside: "Madam is here." Immediately afterwards, a crisp voice sounded: "Grandmother!"

Jiang Ruan didn't look back, but saw a figure in white running past him, and climbed up to Mrs. Jiang's couch familiarly, snuggled up to Mrs. Jiang's side like a cat, and said happily: "Grandmother, look, I brought your favorite Almond cake to eat." After speaking, he put the small straw basket in his hand on the table as if offering a treasure.

"Susu, what do you look like, what if you disturb grandma?" Xia Yan's voice sounded from behind.

Jiang Susu curled her lips: "What does it matter, grandma won't blame me."

"Skin monkey." Mrs. Jiang scolded, but there was a smile on her face: "If you don't understand the rules, you won't make people laugh when you get married in the future."

"What did grandma say?" Jiang Susu blushed, turned her head as if she had just discovered Jiang Ruan, and said in surprise, "The big sister is here too."

Jiang Ruan nodded with a smile.

Jiang Susu looked at Mrs. Jiang, then at Jiang Ruan, and suddenly said: "Grandmother, did you and Big Sister whisper behind Susu's back? Susu wants to listen too, Big Sister, what did you do just now?" ? "She blinked, eyes that were as hazy as clouds and mist were moving and full of affection, bright red tear moles were like small flowers, and her posture was innocent and innocent, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, making people feel pitiful.

Mrs. Jiang didn't speak, she just cast her eyes on Jiang Ruan lightly.

Cai Que glanced at Jiang Ruan worriedly, the room was lively, but the eldest girl seemed to be alone, deserted, and there was no one who could help her with a word.

Xia Yan smiled: "Susu, don't talk nonsense, your big sister..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Ruan sighed softly, and said slowly, "Susu was wrong. I came today just to see grandma. Susu, you know , I stayed in Zhuangzi for six full years, and I haven’t seen my grandmother for six years. The Buddhist scriptures pay attention to perfection. I think the most complete thing in the world is family reunion. I’m not like you. Enjoying such a fulfillment, for me, today's meeting is the most fulfilling moment in the past six years. I didn't whisper anything to my grandmother, I... just want to see my relatives."

The room was surprisingly quiet, Jiang Ruan stood quietly on the spot, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes seemed to be full of sadness. Compared with Jiang Susu's pity, her quietness made people want to explore more.

Xia Yan's smile froze on his face, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists. Jiang Ruan's words seemed to be nothing, but she quietly accused Jiang Susu of being rude. Who can embarrass a girl who longs for family affection when she returns home? Sure enough, I saw Mrs. Jiang looking at Jiang Ruan with softer eyes. Before Jiang Susu could react, she heard Mrs. Jiang's displeased voice: "Susu, your big sister is coming home to see my grandmother. As a matter of course, nonsense is not allowed."

Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment. It is true that what she said just now was aimed at Jiang Ruan on purpose, but she was sure that Mrs. Jiang would not blame her. She has been well-behaved and sensible for so many years, and Mrs. Jiang loved her very much. Get mad at her for the first time. In the end, she was still young, Jiang Susu concealed it a little reluctantly, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry big sister, Susu didn't do it on purpose, big sister, please don't be angry."

"You and I are sisters, how could I be angry." Jiang Ruan replied gently.

Mrs. Jiang was even more satisfied, and said: "You two sisters need to support more, the eldest girl is doing very well today."

Xia Yan walked forward with a smile: "Naturally, Ruan Niang is a good person, but Ruan Niang, I heard that Lin Lang offended you today, it seems that it is because of a servant, and the old lady is calling the shots. What's going on?"

Jiang Susu still nestled beside Mrs. Jiang, but her posture was not as natural as Fang Jin's. Mrs. Jiang also looked at her, obviously waiting for her to say something.

Jiang Ruan then narrated the ins and outs of what happened outside Yanhua Garden. Her tone was steady, and she even recounted the conversation between herself and Lin Lang verbatim, without embellishment, which made people more convincing. After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Jiang: "Old Madam, when my mother passed away, I was sick in bed. I only heard that Nanny Zhou was out of the house. I didn't want to see her today. I think some daring maid at that time said Wrong words. It’s just that I don’t know, Nanny Zhou is my nanny, how did she get to this point?”

Xia Yan sighed softly: "Mother Ruan, you are young, and there are some things I don't want to tell you. In fact, after my sister passed away, Mother Zhou didn't leave the house, but stole my sister's jewelry and was about to leave. , Jiang's mansion can't tolerate servants with unclean hands and feet, and Nanny Zhou is your nurse. I was afraid that your illness would get worse when you were sad and disappointed, so I discussed with the master and punished Nanny Zhou first. You." Xia Yan looked at her sincerely: "Now I teach you, mother is sorry for you here, but this person really deserves to be punished, even if you want to misunderstand me, I don't regret my original decision."

Both Caique and Dujuan listened quietly, they had no place to speak here, they just thought to themselves, Madam's words were really watertight, and the young lady had nothing to say after some rhetoric.

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "Although my mother handles Mei Qingyuan's servants by herself, she never told me about it in the past six years, but it's all for my sake, how could I blame my mother?"

Xia Yan's expression was a bit ugly, but seeing Jiang Ruan's expression was more sincere than hers, as if she didn't realize the insinuation in her words at all, she held her breath in her heart. Jiang Ruan said again: "It's just that I still don't understand one thing, that is, the servant who stole the master's money and jewelry seems not to be punished like gouging out his eyes and eating Ye Xiang. The Jiang family is also considered a scholarly family, how can it be Do something bloody like this?"

"Gouging out your eyes and eating night incense?" Mrs. Jiang frowned: "What's going on?" She is a Buddhist chanter and has her own opinions on some things. She has always turned a blind eye to Xia Yan's methods. Turning a blind eye, I know that Xia Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but she is not like this soft-spoken woman who can treat an unarmed nurse so viciously. This has already touched her bottom line.

Xia Yan's voice was still gentle: "That's not the case, just because I thought that Nanny Zhou was Ruan Niang's nurse, I couldn't bear to punish her too severely, so I sent her to the washing room. There is still a habit of stealing in the washing room, and there are disputes with other servants of the washing house, and a pair of eyes are gouged out, and the washing house can't tolerate her anymore, so I can only do the job of pouring out Ye Xiang."
