Chapter 47: The Scapegoat
The days passed like flowing water, Jiang Li was still as high-flying and domineering as before, provoking a few words from time to time, only Jiang Ruan didn't pay much attention to her, but Jiang Susu's mother and daughter's attitude was a little subtle to her, I don't know if she sees people differently now or Jiang Susu's mother and daughter can't hold their breath anymore, and there are some-for-tat meanings in several words. Although Mrs. Jiang is neither salty nor indifferent to Jiang Ruan, she will not deliberately suppress it. In a blink of an eye, it was time for Jiang Quan and Jiang Chao to return home.
It has come to the end of the year, and there are many socials in the officialdom, Jiang Quan said a few days ago that he would return home, and there was a delay in Shangfeng, so he didn't return home until today. Xia Yan was naturally very happy, and he cleaned up early and started to prepare, only saying that he wanted to hold a lively New Year's dinner, and Jiang Quan had worked hard for Jiang Mansion for a year, so he should be rewarded.
Jiang Li and Jiang Susu were also very happy, but Jiang Susu's performance was light and clear, but the smile couldn't be stopped. Although Jiang Quan was unkind to her daughter-in-law, he really loved Jiang Susu. In the previous life, he would rather offend the ninety-five lord in the palace than protect Jiang Susu. Jiang Susu should be Jiang Quan's proudest daughter, he did not spare all his love for Jiang Susu, and even used Jiang Ruan himself to pave the way for Jiang Susu, but now that he thinks about it, he doesn't know whether to be sad or angry.
It can only be said that Jiang Quan may really love Xia Yan, and he loves their daughter so much, and Jiang Chao is the same. On the other hand, Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi, Jiang Quan never paid attention to them, did not beat and scold, nor was he affectionate, but like two insignificant outsiders. Even Jiang Li was able to get Jiang Quan a good face because of the strength of her second aunt's mother's family, but only their brothers and sisters were not.
Thinking about it, Zhao Mei and General Zhao have long broken off their relationship, and they can't add help in the officialdom, and it was Zhao Mei who took the initiative to ask to marry, and he never took advantage of the situation and situation, how could Jiang Quan have half pity for her. is to make her and Jiang Xinzhi become the stepping stones of Jiang Susu's brothers and sisters, if they block the broad road of Jiang Susu's brothers and sisters, they will be mercilessly removed.
Thinking about these things in a trance, Jiang Ruan forgot the tea soup in his hand and accidentally spilled a few drops, and Bai Zhi on the side hurriedly said when he saw this: "Girl, be careful." ”
Jiang Ruan came back to his senses, straightened the teacup, and said, "Father is back?" ”
Forsythia walked in from outside, and when she heard Jiang Ruan's words, she said, "I just came back, and I was talking to the old lady," she glanced left and right, and then lowered her voice and said: "But I don't look very good, and it seems that something is not going well." ”
Bai Zhiqi said: "Xu is a matter of official business. ”
It just so happened that Dew Drop ran in in a hurry, with a sly smile on her face, Forsythia scolded: "What do you have no head or brain, and you are not afraid of disturbing the girl." ”
Jiang Ruan said: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"The girl is really divine." Dew Zhu blinked: "The slave maid just went to the front to inquire, and I know the reason why Master Lu Dao is so unhappy." ”
The dewdrop man has a sweet mouth, and his brain turns quickly, and he is very sleek in interacting with people in the market on weekdays, and it is easy to get into a mess with the maid and the woman, Jiang Ruan often asks her to go out to pay attention to some news, and her eyes will not be black in Jiang's mansion. Dew Drop is also smart, and can always inquire about some news.
This time, Forsythia didn't care about reprimanding, and listened to her carefully.
"I heard that I had a quarrel with Shen Shilang somehow, and Shen Shilang was surprisingly angry, and the old man also blushed and had a thick neck. It's strange that there is such a quarrel, but Miss Shen also specially wrote a post to the three girls alone, inviting the three girls to go to the house to play. However, the old man was furious, not only did he not allow the three girls to leave the house, but also grounded the three girls. ”
"What does that mean?" Forsythia said strangely: "That day, I saw that the third girl and Miss Shen didn't have such a good relationship, why didn't you invite the second girl, but invited the third girl alone." ”
Luzhu smiled mysteriously: "People are spreading that something was lost in the Shen Mansion, and acting like this is suspected of the third girl." "Ruan Ju's maids have a lot of complaints about Jiang Li, Jiang Li's eyes are above the top on weekdays, and her tone is not good, far from Jiang Susu can be a person, and the maids and mothers-in-law in the house are all bored with her. As soon as she had an accident, there were many people who gloated.
Bai Zhi said: "With such suspicion on Miss Jiang Fu, no wonder the master is furious, if the third girl goes, wouldn't she slap Jiang Fu in the mouth and admit to stealing something." It's just that why did the Shen Mansion borrow Miss Shen's hand to send a post to the third girl, could there be anything that could not be asked. The slave maid looked at the three girls, although they were a little domineering on weekdays, but they were not the ones who led the sheep easily, and there were many strange things about it. Besides, the master has a very deep friendship with Lord Shen, and he won't quarrel like this for something outside his body, what did the Shen Mansion lose? ”
What's missing? Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "It should be something very important." ”
The Shen Mansion was noisy, and the left and right were just the east window incident, and Shen Shilang found that his account book was missing. At that time, she was an outsider who came to the Shen Mansion for the first time, so she naturally didn't know the layout of the Shen Mansion, and only Jiang Li had left the table in the middle, so it was difficult not to suspect Jiang Li. It's just that Jiang Li has nothing to do and won't run to get the account book by herself, so she only has Jiang Quan's idea. It is understandable for Shen Shilang to think like this, the friendship between the Shen Mansion and the Jiang Mansion involves a bunch of unclear interests, if Jiang Quan takes Shen Shilang's handle, Shen Shilang will be a head shorter in front of Jiang Quan from now on. It's just that this thing is extremely unauthentic, no wonder Shen Shilang wants to tear the skin.
Jiang Quan is really wronged now, and this matter really has nothing to do with him. Jiang Ruan smiled, the relationship between people is already extremely fragile, even if Jiang Quan and the Shen Mansion can barely maintain their friendship because of the account book from now on, today's matter will be buried deep in Shen Shilang's heart like a thorn. This thorn will one day break the ground and sprout, and the battle line between Jiang Quan and the Shen Mansion has begun to crack at this moment.
Jiang Li wanted to harm her, but she was used as a scapegoat, which can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment. From now on, the Shen Mansion regarded Jiang Li as a thorn in his side, and Jiang Quan would not be happy in his heart, which was also Jiang Li's own fault.
In the previous life, Jiang Quan still took the account book of the Shen Mansion and pinched the seven inches of the Shen Mansion, but at that time, the Jiang Mansion was already thriving, and the Shen Mansion could only bow down and be a minister. It is still early in this life, and the Jiang Mansion still relies on the help of the Shen Mansion for many things, and the premature rupture of the alliance is a blessing and a curse for Jiang Quan.
Jiang Ruan patted his clothes and stood up: "Since my father and second brother have returned home, we can't help but take a look, I don't have to say that we are rude and unfilial, let's go, my father and second brother, who I haven't seen for five years, don't know what they look like now." ”
