Chapter Seventy-Two: The Death of Scholars

The situation seems to be reversed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Cheng said angrily to the doctor: "Quack! How dare you lie! ”

"No, sir," the doctor took a few steps back, and he didn't know what was wrong, it was different from the expected scene, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why should Xiahou Ye be angry, maybe it is really as Miss Jiang said, this arsenic has no effect on her." I don't know what the prince meant by this, it sounded like casual nonsense, but it made Xia Cheng's back break out in a cold sweat.

No matter how mediocre and incompetent this prince is, he is a member of the heavenly family in the end, how can he tolerate the courtiers playing tricks under his nose?

At this moment, he heard Xuan leave his mouth and say: "Since it is the fault of the quacks, tie him down first, and if these quacks are kept in the future, they will only harm people's lives." With that, he ordered his attendants to tie up the doctor. The doctor didn't expect to be robbed suddenly, and shouted in his mouth: "It's clearly an old ......" Before he finished speaking, he was gagged and dragged down.

Jiang Susu glanced at Xuan Li gratefully, but a trace of anger crossed Jiang Li's face. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Why did His Royal Highness let the doctor be tied up, so whether this snack is poisonous or not, whether Ruan Niang is guilty or not, it is impossible to say." ”

He didn't even give Xuan to leave the stairs at all.

Xuan Xuan was a little disappointed, she thought that this eldest lady of the Jiang family was a smart person, and a smart person should be exposed at such a point, did she still think that the people here would avenge her unfavored daughter of the Jiang family? It's better to settle down now, and save a lot of trouble. Thinking like this, he glanced at Jiang Ruan, but he was stunned, only to see Jiang Ruan looking at him quietly, there was an inexplicable emotion in those beautiful eyes, this emotion he had seen many times, it was unforgettable, hate?

Hate?

How could this eldest lady of the Jiang family hate him for no reason? Just because he said a few good words for the Xia family? Xuan Xuan paused, and then looked at Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan had already turned his head, as if the emotions in his eyes just now were just the illusion of Xuan Li's own alone. But Xuanli clearly understood that it was not an illusion. The girl on the other side did have an inexplicable hatred for him.

I only heard a faint voice that suddenly broke the silence: "In that case, Ye Feng, you take my seal letter and find Divine Doctor Qiu." Everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xiao Shao's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "This matter can be revealed. ”

The Xia family couldn't help but ponder, what did this mean by speaking for Jiang Ruan? It was strange that this King Jinying and the crown prince suddenly came today, he had saved Jiang Susu on the Linglong Boat before, why did he seem to be in the same group with Jiang Ruan now?

Jiang Ruan himself was also very puzzled, what was the purpose of this Xiao Shao suddenly helping himself?

Xia Jiaojiao has been looking at Xiao Shao intentionally or unintentionally since he came in, and when she heard Xiao Shao speak at this moment, her pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Xuanli glanced at Jiang Susu, Jiang Susu was veiled, and there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't get rid of it, which was really pitiful. Looking at the rest of the Xia family, the expressions of several young grandmothers were the same as Xia Yan's, they all looked panicked, three points uneasy and seven points weak, which made people unbearable.

Their expressions were completely different, but it was Jiang Ruan standing in the hall. She had a smile on her face, her eyes were indifferent, and she was extremely sharp step by step, which was cruel to death.

Xuan Li finally spoke: "Brother Xiao, why bother Doctor Qiu, I think this matter has come to light, but it is a quack doctor who harms people, misdiagnosed Mrs. Hou's condition, the dim sum on the table is not poisonous, and Miss Jiang is innocent." In the end, it's just a misunderstanding, it's all a family, and my father taught us since we were young that family and everything is prosperous. ”

What a coincidence of this, Jiang Ruan sneered in his heart, family and everything is prosperous, but whose family is it and whose business is it? It had nothing to do with her. With Xuanli's words, Xia Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Xia Yan, Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, walked up to Jiang Ruan, and said: "Ruan'er, it's all to blame for this matter, if Niang is cautious and not misled by the words of this quack, you won't suffer this grievance in vain." Mother, mother, only by kneeling can you forgive me. After that, as soon as his legs were bent, he had to kneel down for Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan turned to the side slightly, avoided Xia Yan's big gift, and said with a smile: "Mother said that she was laughing." "If she is kneeling under Xia Yan today, there will be a reputation in the capital tomorrow for her disrespecting her mother-in-law, so why bother.

She looked at Xia Cheng and said: "It's all a family, the family and everything is prosperous, the words of the Eighth Highness are really good, I don't know what to say, I still think that the Eighth Highness is the Xia family." ”

Xuan Li's face stiffened, and Jiang Ruan said again: "But Ruan Niang's grievance is a trivial matter, my grandmother's illness is a big thing, for no reason, how could I eat a piece of Ruan Niang's dim sum and become unconscious, I am afraid that there is also a big strangeness, I can't understand it when I think about it, it's really weird." She stood in the hall, her posture unchanged, and said with a smile: "But today, thank you for opening your mouth to clarify for Ruan Niang, otherwise the quack will get away with it, Ruan Niang is afraid that she will go to prison, and the crime of murdering her grandmother is not small, and Ruan Niang can't afford to fight for her life." ”

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Shao, but in this room, only Xiao Shao said a fair word, and this was like a slap in the face of everyone. The crown prince suddenly laughed: "What Miss Jiang said is right, this palace looks at it, this matter cannot be for no reason, in the court, there is a price to pay for wrongful judgment." The palace looked at Fang Cai, the little lady of the Xia family, the two young grandmothers, Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang, and the second young master Jiang all accused Miss Jiang, Xiahou Ye is old, forget it, the rest of the people can't be spared, since Miss Jiang wants the palace to be the master for you, the palace will be the master for you. Since you are all wrong to blame Miss Jiang, you will each receive twenty boards. ”

"What?" Xia Jiaojiao cried out in a lost voice: "Your Highness, how can you be like this? ”

Shen Rou hurriedly squeezed her arm and said in horror: "The child is ignorant and talks nonsense. I begged His Highness to spare her. ”

"It's okay," the crown prince Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "This palace has always been very kind, go, this palace is here, watching you lead the board." ”

Xia Yan was dumbfounded, Jiang Chao and Jiang Susu were also stunned for a while, Xia Cheng was already so angry that the flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly, the prince's actions were just slapping him in the face! actually let these ladies of the Xia family all lie on the stool to teach people to play the board, and this also includes the girl's family who has not left the cabinet!

"Your Highness......" Xia Cheng still wanted to speak.

"Lord Wang!" Xia Jiaojiao threw herself in front of Xiao Shao and knelt down: "Lord Wang, you are kind-hearted, since you just helped your cousin, please ask the prince to intercede with the prince and help us!" ”

Jiang Ruan looked at her actions, when she was in the palace in the past, Xia Jiaojiao had always been domineering, when had she ever seen her so embarrassed. Speaking of which, it's just four words.

In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Shao slowly took a step back, his beautiful and handsome face did not move, and he was still as cold as usual. Said lightly: "What does it have to do with me?" "It's a complete disgust, but I don't pity the jade at all.

Xia Jiaojiao stiffened when she heard this, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes looking at Xiao Shao were full of sadness and helplessness, but it was a pity that Luohua deliberately flowed ruthlessly, wasting tears in vain.

"Are you questioning Hongu's decision?" The prince said displeased.

Xia Jiaojiao was startled, Jiang Susu turned her eyes to Xuanli for help, Xuanli looked at her apologetically, in this case, he couldn't clearly conflict with the prince.

Jiang Susu gritted her teeth and said, "This matter is all my fault, Su Su voluntarily accepted the punishment, and asked the eldest sister to forgive us." Then he did not look at the crowd, but walked straight into the courtyard.

The prince waved his hand: "Put the stool on the shelf, and the palace will watch them receive the punishment with their own eyes." ”

Jiang Chao and Xia Yan glanced at each other, and could only grit their teeth and follow towards the courtyard, even if Shen Rou and the others were unwilling in their hearts, they didn't dare to refuse when they saw Xia Yan obediently stepping forward.

The little maid in the courtyard quickly found a stool and a wooden stick to use torture, and the people who did it were the Xia family's own mother-in-law, who originally wanted to show mercy to his subordinates, but the prince said, "If the palace sees any unofficial business, it will immediately be dragged down and chopped up and fed to the dogs", and these subordinates immediately dispelled the thoughts in their hearts.

Xia Cheng was angry and distressed to see his children and grandsons being punished in the courtyard, and he was extremely resentful, he had been smooth sailing for so many years, but he didn't expect to be planted on a little girl today, and he would suffer such a shameful humiliation.

The prince stood in the courtyard and watched lazily, the mother-in-law was fat and strong, and he was ruthless, and all the ladies present were fine skin and tender meat. Jiang Susu lay on the stool, and there was a heart-piercing pain in her hips, but what was more infuriating than this pain was the sense of shame, in front of Jiang Ruan, in front of these honorable princes and princes, she had no face, and was tied to the stool like a dead pig to be tortured. She swore that she would not avenge this revenge, and she would not be a man!

Jiang Ruan slowly stepped forward from behind the crowd and quietly watched Xia Yan and the others being tortured. Does it hurt? The pain that these people inflicted on her was a hundred times more painful than that. There will be no one to save them, and no one will say to intercede, lingering in pain, the Xia family, the pain has just begun.

Xuan Li walked up to her and said, "Miss Jiang, don't you think they are pitiful?" ”

"The poor will have something to hate." Jiang Ruan smiled and said: "Besides, the order was given by His Royal Highness the Prince, and Ruan Niang is powerless." ”

Xuan choked from his throat, looking at the closeness, I don't know why, I actually had a strange feeling in my heart, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in front of her, in the face of various situations today, has never shown the slightest panic, it seems that from the beginning to the present, she has maintained an expression, a gentle and decent smile.

At such a young age, either the changes are amazing, or she has already seen what may happen today. It's all in her hands? Xuan Li immediately denied his thoughts, everything in the world is changing, how can anyone control everything, but he looked at Jiang Ruan's smiling expression again, and he was a little suspicious of his conjecture just now.

Jiang Ruan quietly looked at everything that happened in front of her, as early as yesterday, she had ordered Forsythia to replace that snack, and she naturally understood what Xia Yan had in mind. The prince's sudden visit to Xiahou Mansion today was also her handiwork.

The prince has a doorman, who disguises himself as a storyteller in the Dongfeng Building on weekdays, and she heard Xuanli talk about it in her last life. When Xia Yan came to inform her to go to Xiahou Mansion, Jiang Ruan asked Luzhu to go to Dongfeng Tower, pretending to be a maid in Xiahou Mansion and inadvertently talked about it.

The relationship between Xuanli and Xia Cheng is already a little delicate, and the princes are more sensitive to this matter, once they get the news of Xuanli's visit to Xia Cheng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally come to Xia Mansion to participate, but he didn't expect Xiao Shao to come back.

As for the current Royal Highness the Prince, she was in the palace in the previous life, and she had heard of many of the Prince's actions. Although this prince has little political insight, his mind is not very deep. In the early years, the emperor wanted to change the crown prince, but Xiao Shao's prevention failed. Everyone thinks that this prince is not favored, but it is this unfavored prince who is still left behind when the other princes in the palace are resolved one by one. Whether the emperor has anything to do with it is unknown.

But the biggest characteristic of this prince is actually the biggest shortcoming, that is, the lack of heart. Like Jiang Ruan's previous life, the crown prince is in the royal family, and he is in the position of being unfavored in the eyes of thousands of people, he should have been a deep-minded person, but he is simple-minded, or too emotional.

The brothers around him are falling against each other, and calculation is the most intolerable thing for him, especially when he can't bear the same family but full of conspiracy. It's very violent every time I see something in the same room. In the previous life, Xuanli took advantage of this characteristic of the prince to win over the four princes, and the most harmless four princes have always been close to the prince, but the prince was finally framed by this close brother and ended up dying in prison.

When Xuanli talked to her about this matter, it was already in the late stage of the fight, and he was not as gentle and self-contained as before, showing a little arrogance, and showing extreme contempt and ridicule for the affairs of the prince's cronies. Jiang Ruan could understand the crown prince, it was just the most important trust that a poor man had given to longing for family affection in extreme loneliness, but like her, they were all let down.

When the prince sees the Xia family's actions in the face of her, he will definitely think of his own situation, the more the Xia family treats her, the more violent His Royal Highness the prince will be.

However, Xuan Li still walked with the Xia family after all. Jiang Ruan's eyes dimmed, and he didn't know if Xuan Li would be as good as before in this life, and finally marry Jiang Susu? She was looking forward to that moment.

After twenty boards were played, Xia Jiaojiao had already fainted.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "My grandmother's matter has come to an end, but His Royal Highness has not yet assessed the matter of the ancestral hall, so what should be done with the small children in the ancestral hall?" ”

Jiang Susu had just been helped up from the chair by a butterfly, and when she heard this, her body went soft and almost fell, staring at Jiang Ruan in disbelief. Xia Cheng looked at Jiang Ruan as if he was going to eat her, but Xia Yan seemed to have just heard: "What is the matter in the ancestral hall?" She suddenly thought of something, and looked at Jiang Ruan suspiciously, why did Jiang Ruan still look quite good after spending the night in the cold environment of the ancestral hall, and there was no trace of weakness at all? And what about the little guy she said?

Jiang Ruan met Xia Yan's puzzled gaze, and smiled to solve her puzzles: "Last night, Ruan Niang prayed for the blessing of the ancestors of the Xia family in the ancestral hall, and her physical strength was exhausted in the middle of the night, so the maid next to her knelt in place of Ruan Niang for half the night. It was Ruan Niang who asked His Highness for a grace to severely punish the wicked man. ”

Xia Yan was a little dizzy by her words, but she still understood the meaning of her words, someone wanted to defile her, but was blocked by the maid beside Jiang Ruan. Xia Yan secretly hated in her heart, why was Jiang Ruan so lucky every time, she looked at the forsythia beside Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan only brought forsythia and scholarly fragrance when she came out this time, forsythia stood in place with a good look, could it be that person is scholarly? Her heart tightened. I only heard Jiang Ruan say again: "Grandfather, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, it is better to bring that wicked man forward." ”

Xia Cheng almost wanted to vomit blood, and he was sure that Jiang Ruan must have known Xia Jun's identity, so he must have acted deliberately, and he only felt that Jiang Ruan's scheming was terrifying.

Jiang Ruan looked at Xia Yan and said, "It is said that my mother gave me a good maid, this maid is loyal and considerate, and I like it very much." If it weren't for her last night, Ruan Niang would probably only have to die today, such a loyal servant, and her mother sent her off, and her mother also hoped to avenge her injustice for the fragrance of the book. ”

Xia Yan couldn't say a word, Xuanli listened to Jiang Ruan's words, and glanced at her meaningfully. The man in the ancestral hall of the crown prince knew that it was Xia Jun, and he didn't speak, but just looked at Xia Cheng with a good look.

Xia Cheng wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, and finally said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, that's not a wicked person, that's your cousin!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xia Yan was stunned, but also Shen Rou and Yu Ya. Yu Ya shouted: "How can it be Jun'er?" ”

"Grandfather," Jiang Ruan looked at him in surprise: "That person defiled my maid's body, how could he be my cousin?" Her words were full of surprise, but she reminded everyone of the fact that Xia Jun ruined people's innocence.

Xuanli paused, Xiao Shao looked at Jiang Ruan's appearance of singing and reading, but he couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of a smile in his always cold eyes.

Yu Ya hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on?" What happened to Jun'er? ”

Jiang Ruan said: "Cousin, early this morning, my grandfather and His Royal Highness saw someone in the ancestral hall...... acted misbehaps, but I didn't expect that person to be my cousin. ”

When Yu Ya heard this, she took two steps back, and couldn't understand that although her son acted absurdly, he would not be stupid enough to do such a thing in a place like the ancestral hall, there must be a hidden secret!

And when Xia Yan saw Jiang Susu's resentful expression, a stir in his heart suddenly understood. Jiang Susu didn't know that she and Mrs. Xia had already discussed countermeasures, and she took matters into her own hands, presumably being tricked by Jiang Ruan again. While she was annoyed that Jiang Susu was disobedient, she quickly thought about the countermeasures in front of her. If something really happened to Xia Jun, Xia Cheng and Yu Ya would not spare their mother and daughter, after all, Xia Jun is the only grandson of Xia Mansion and will inherit the family business in the future.

Xia Cheng gritted his teeth, and when he saw that this matter had become like this, he could only bite Xia Jun, who was sure that it was the maid who seduced him, so he shouted angrily: "Bring me that son and maid!" ”

The subordinates quickly brought up the somewhat enlightened Xia Jun and Shuxiang, these two people were awake not long at the moment, and they were a little ignorant, Xia Cheng stepped forward and slapped Xia Jun fiercely: "Son! Who made you do such a thing? ”

Xia Jun was first stunned by Xia Cheng's slap, Yu Ya had already pounced on him and hugged him and cried: "My son, why are you so stupid, why are you confused in the ancestral hall!" ”

Xia Jun learned what happened from his mother-in-law since he woke up, as soon as he entered the ancestral hall last night, he felt a little hot and even a little uncontrollable, and the taste of a night of madness was still there, but it was clear that it was Miss Jiang who turned Luan Feng upside down with him, how did he become Miss Jiang's maid.

His gaze fell on the red-clothed girl standing in the middle of the crowd, she smiled gently, but her gaze at him was full of mockery. Xia Junden immediately understood that he was afraid that this eldest lady of the Jiang family had calculated Jiang Susu, and even he had calculated it too!

His mind changed sharply, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Xia Cheng: "Grandfather, it's all my fault, I drank wine last night and strayed into the ancestral hall, I don't want this maid to seduce me...... Grandchildren, grandchildren sit down and other things, it's really shameless, beg grandfather to punish! ”

Xia Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Xia Jun was smart and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Shuxiang was stunned, she didn't expect Xia Jun to blame her with a face, she looked at Jiang Ruan, this matter was already very clear, it was Jiang Ruan who calculated her. She had no choice but to look at Xia Yan for help, Xia Yan didn't look over, she just didn't know. There was a burst of despair in Shuxiang's heart, and she cried: "The slave didn't, eldest lady, the slave really didn't seduce the young master." ”

Jiang Ruan looked at her with pity: "Shuxiang, I naturally believe in you, you are the maid personally selected by my mother for me, how can I not trust your character?" ”

Xia Yan's eyebrows jumped when she heard this, and when Jiang Ruan said this, she couldn't say anything. But looking at Xia Cheng's angry gaze, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Ruan Niang, knowing people and knowing their hearts, this scholarly fragrance looks like a rule on weekdays, but I didn't expect to have such a dirty mind." ”

This is talking nonsense with his eyes open, the forsythia behind him can hardly hide his disdainful eyes, Xia Yan really has the face to say such a reason. Jiang Ruan sighed softly: "Originally, I thought that the maid selected by my mother must be excellent, but I didn't expect that the forsythia, angelica, and even the dewdrops I picked around me never appeared like this, but the book incense picked by my mother broke this ring." She looked at Xia Yan: "The other maids in Ruan Niang's yard, please take it back from your mother as well." ”

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, and secretly gritted her teeth, the eyeliner that she had finally inserted was now stripped away by Jiang Ruan's words. But now I had to agree, so I said: "Ruan Niang's thinking is reasonable, but my mother is not thoughtful." ”

Seeing this, Shuxiang said in despair: "No, no, eldest miss, I didn't seduce the young master, Madame save me, second miss save me!" ”

The prince sneered: "You are Miss Jiang's maid, how can you intercede with the second miss?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't know anything," Jiang Ruan smiled: "My second sister is the most soft-hearted, and the following people love to plead with her when they make mistakes." And I have always been cold, and the people are afraid of me. ”

Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows, and when he saw Jiang Ruan, he said again: "Shuxiang, although I trust you, I trust my mother more, and since she has said so, there is nothing I can do." This is to throw all the spearheads at Xia Yan, Shuxiang suddenly felt a burst of despair, only to hear Jiang Ruan say again: "But even if you didn't seduce your cousin, but you were defiled by someone, and you were in a place like the ancestral hall, if it were me, I would have already committed suicide with a white silk, in order to maintain your reputation, you have no way to live, seducing or not seducing, in fact, it is the same." ”

Shuxiang's body trembled, and her eyes looking at Jiang Ruan were full of fear, she suddenly understood that Jiang Ruan was right, today, she had no way to live.

Jiang Ruan will not take the initiative to save her, and between her and Xia Jun, Xia Yan will only choose Xia Jun, and no one will speak for her. She finally understood what Jiang Ruan knew that she was sent by Xia Yan and let her stay in Ruanju, it was not that Jiang Ruan was soft-hearted, she was just looking for an opportunity, she could put herself and death with one move, and there was no possibility of turning over! Now, that opportunity has come.

Thinking that Heng and Vertical would die, there was no way out anyway, and her family's lives were still in Xia Yan's hands, Shuxiang laughed miserably: "The slave maid has no face to face the eldest lady, and begs the eldest lady to take care of the parents in the slave maid's family, and see you again in the next life!" After saying that, she broke free from the shackles of her mother-in-law, and before everyone could react, they saw her crash into the pillar in the hall, and fell in a pool of blood, her eyes were round, her body shook a few times, and she couldn't see it.

Jiang Susu let out an "ah", and his whole face was bloodless. She naturally knew that the death of Lu Dao Shuxiang was inseparable from her, and she was terrified. Xia Jun was also shocked, the beautiful woman who had lost her soul last night was now drenched in blood, which was really terrifying.

Jiang Ruan watched quietly, and the image of her in prison in the previous life came to mind, watching Shuxiang follow Jiang Susu's side. Time flies, and in this life, Shuxiang will never have a chance to betray her and hurt her.

The prince said: "This maid is a fierce one, so the palace still has some pity, it's really pitiful to die like this." Since the maid has paid for his life, Young Master Xia is not without mistakes, this palace is soft-hearted, and he will not be punished when he is still young, and he will no longer be involved in the career within three years. The palace will tell his father what he has seen and heard today, Xiahou Ye, so that he can do it himself. After speaking, his expression changed, and he no longer had the hip-hop and ha-ha just now, and walked away.

Xuan Li paused for a moment, and also chased after him.

Yu Ya helped Xia Jun to the house, Xia Cheng followed him, Jiang Susu and Xia Yan also hurriedly followed, the maid and the maid were scattered, and there was no one in the hall for a while.

Jiang Ruan walked to the side of the scholar in the pool of blood, quietly looked at the dead maid, and said lightly: "It's okay to keep your eyes open, on the Huangquan Road, turn into a ghost, don't find the wrong person." ”

After speaking, he turned around, facing a beautiful and heroic face, Xiao Shao's cold gaze fell on her face, the two were very close, and he only heard his faint comment: "The anger is too heavy." ”

Jiang Ruan took a step back and smiled back at him: "What do you have to do with you?" ”
