The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Xia Yan and Jiang Susu's complexion changed slightly at the same time, and the wives had already quietly discussed: "What kind of mountain girl, I think this demeanor seems to have come out of the palace."

"That's right, it's not as bad as you say, seeing that it's on par with Miss Jiang Er."

"The appearance is also good, even more beautiful than the second young lady."

For the first time, everyone's focus was not on Jiang Susu alone. Jiang Ruan still walked from the front without looking sideways, with no fluctuations in his expression and a smile on his face, as if it was not the first time he had come to Shen's residence. Such calmness and calmness made those who originally wanted to watch the excitement couldn't help but look at it with admiration. The woman with the round face had already turned black, on the contrary, the lady with the high cheekbones nodded repeatedly.

Shen Mingzhen, who came after him, had already exploded in anger, and gave Jiang Ruan a vicious look, then walked over and took Jiang Susu's hand, and walked into the female family's table without looking at Jiang Ruan again.

Xia Yanzao smiled slightly, as if he didn't see it, and walked into the banquet and sat down, talking and laughing with Mrs. Shen. Although Jiang Li is arrogant, she also has good friends among the ladies. Perhaps in order to deliberately isolate Jiang Ruan, she even dragged away Jiang Dan who usually didn't pay much attention to her. Whether it was intentional or not, Jiang Ruan was left standing by the table alone, not knowing how to sit down.

Although the wives and ladies were amazed by Jiang Ruan's appearance and demeanor, all the guests present were familiar with Mrs. Shen, so they naturally wanted to maintain friendship with Jiang's family. The current wife of Jiang's mansion is Xia Yan instead of Zhao Mei, and those who know about it will not take the initiative to break the siege with Jiang Ruan, not to mention that Jiang Ruan is too handsome, and the young lady is afraid of being robbed of the limelight when she sits with her. For a while, there was only one left alone.

Lu Zhu and Lian Qiao stood behind Jiang Ruan, they were both a little depressed, thinking that they came to Shen's residence as guests to make a fool of themselves, it would be embarrassing for no reason.

But at this moment, a clear female voice came from the table: "Miss Jiang, please sit here."

A cardamom girl stood up in the female family's table. This girl was wearing a blue-and-white blue padded jacket. Her complexion was slightly dark, but her face was very pretty. There was a hint of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes. Jiang Ruan also knew this girl in her previous life, her name is Lin Zixiang, and she is the eldest daughter of Lin Taishi today. He is a very righteous person. In the previous life, Lin Zixiang married the third prince as a side concubine. Although Lin Taishi had little real power in the court, he had a pivotal position. Lin Zixiang was not favored after marrying the third prince. Lin Taishi was favored by the emperor. After resigning from the official position, it was even more miserable. The third prince had a human face, and there were many concubines in the house. The child in Lin Zixiang's belly was killed by one of the third prince's concubines. The third prince defended the concubine. He took the knife and died with the concubine.

The women in the palace in the previous life took this matter as a joke when they were free, Jiang Ruan felt sorry for Lin Zixiang in her heart, it is really unfair that such a fierce woman ended up in a tragic death, and was even discussed after her death. In the last palace banquet, Jiang Ruan also saw Lin Zixiang from a distance in the banquet of noble concubines. Lin Zixiang, who was plainly dressed, was unhappy among the gorgeous Yingying Yanyan, which caught Jiang Ruan's attention at a glance. They are a kind of people who marry someone who doesn't want to marry and are imprisoned in a small cage for a lifetime.

Jiang Ruan smiled at Lin Zixiang, walked over and sat down beside her, Lin Zixiang nodded to her, Jiang Ruan said softly: "Thank you."

"It's just that I can't understand them like this." Lin Zixiang said: "The nobles of the aristocratic family are always so self-righteous, but they make things difficult for a little girl."

Such old-fashioned words, and seeing Lin Zixiang's serious face, Jiang Ruan laughed, and his affection for her increased a little.

When Jiang Ruan talked to Lin Zixiang, Jiang Li secretly hated him. Shen Mingzhen and Jiang Susu said this, and seeing this scene, she also frowned and said: "What kind of ability does that Jiang Ruan have? Lin Zixiang usually looks up to the sky, so why talk to her!"

Jiang Susu said with a smile: "Big sister is always so likable."

"It's clearly a vixen." Shen Mingzhen said angrily. In a blink of an eye, I saw Jiang Li who was staring at Jiang Ruan, and thought for a while: "Sister Susu, I also hate Jiang Li, how about helping Jiang Li?"

Jiang Susu was stunned, then smiled and said: "Why do you say that, don't make any wrong ideas, big sister just came back from Zhuangzi, if something goes wrong, her reputation will be damaged, how will you behave in the capital in the future?"

Shen Mingzhen also smiled: "Sister Susu is a bodhisattva with a heart, but you are also worthy of someone. You see, she wore this red dress on purpose today, just to steal your limelight. You know that you love Sudan, but you are dressed so brightly." , I think it’s provocation. Sister Susu, you can’t be patient.”

"This..." Jiang Susu was a little hesitant, Shen Mingzhen felt wronged by the hesitant look, and said: "Sister Susu, don't be afraid, I will stand up for you." After speaking, she rushed to Jiang Li who was sitting on the other side Beckoning: "Sister Jiang Li!"

Jiang Li turned her head a little flattered, got up and walked to Shen Mingzhen's side. Among these great ladies in Beijing, concubine daughters and legitimate daughters are actually divided into two circles. Although Jiang Li tried her best to please Shen Mingzhen, Shen Mingzhen only made friends with Jiang Susu, and she could only feel jealous. Now Shen Mingzhen took the initiative to greet her, even though she knew there must be some intentions, she still responded with a smile.

A trace of contempt flashed in Shen Mingzhen's eyes, but her smile was sweet, and she hooked her little finger: "Sister Jiang Li, I have something to whisper to you."

Jiang Li came over, and Shen Mingzhen whispered something in her ear. Jiang Li's expression was a little surprised at first, then hesitant, and hesitantly glanced at Jiang Susu who was sitting on the side. Jiang Susu just lowered her head to drink tea, still wearing the same smile as usual, so that people can't see the emotion.

"Sister Jiang Li, have you thought about it?" Shen Mingzhen looked up at her, her tone became more and more charming: "I did this for you."

Jiang Li was silent for a while, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, thank you sister Mingzhen for making it happen."

Shen Mingzhen giggled, took Jiang Li's hand and sat down beside her: "In that case, let's talk some more."

Jiang Li paused for a moment, and sat down beside her according to her words. The two got together and started talking in a low voice again.

While doing all this, Jiang Susu sat down and drank tea, as if she had no idea what Shen Mingzhen and Jiang Li were doing. She only looked up at Jiang Ruan from a distance when Jiang Li sat down. There is a trace of cruelty in it.

But I didn't want her to look up, Jiang Ruan seemed to feel her gaze, turned her head slightly, her eyes met, Jiang Ruan smiled at her. The upturned corners of the eyes showed a hint of a smile, but it gave Jiang Susu a chill down his back for no reason. When he looked again, Jiang Ruan had already turned his head away, and everything seemed to have never happened.

Because it was the first time she came to Shen's residence, Jiang Ruan only talked to Lin Zixiang, and the ladies around her just looked at her from a distance. Jiang Susu is quite popular with everyone, and there are not a few people who are intimate with her.
