Chapter 36: Conspiracy
Bang Yue indifferently put down the silver chopsticks, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said slowly: "Although I have a good relationship with the eldest young master. She deliberately accentuated the three words of the young master: "But when it comes to the love of children, in the final analysis, he is the one who knows best, and he doesn't tell me everything." β
With that, she got up slowly, took out the brand-new handkerchief she had prepared, and then walked over and put them down one by one in front of them. Aunt Yun picked up the handkerchief embroidered with Yunxia first. Reach out and touch it, the silk is delicate and smooth, and the material of the handkerchief is also made of fine silk, which is not considered to be of the highest quality, but the price is not low.
"I've been disturbed in the Jiang Mansion for a long time, and I have always wanted to give you a little gift, but I didn't have a chance, so I just took advantage of the light of Madame's banquet to send it out, Madame won't mind."
Xue Wan smiled generously: "Of course not, but in this way, I am a little embarrassed, Miss Bangyue has prepared gifts, but I have not prepared." Then you can only ask everyone to eat more. β
Bang Yue smiled, and when she caught a glimpse of Aunt Lan looking at her, she turned her head sideways, raised her glass, and smiled. Anyway, last time Master Jiang was injured, and after he came out, in the corridor, the scene of the two joining forces is estimated to have made Xue Wan have a number in her heart.
The evening breeze is coming, blowing all over the court.
After a while, Xue Wan said again: "I heard that Miss Bangyue used to write plays in the Xuanchang Opera Troupe and was very talented, why did you come here?" β
Bang Yue sighed in her heart, and then sneered, if you don't go out of your way to inquire about this kind of thing, how can you hear about your own affairs in the Xuanchang opera troupe in the south of the city, and how can you hear about it in the Jiang Mansion in the north of the city. In today's banquet, Xue Wan won't come to humiliate herself.
In that case, don't blame her for being direct.
"I was framed, I couldn't stay any longer, and I happened to meet Xiao Rong who needed help, so I followed him."
Xue Wan probably didn't expect her to be so straightforward, she was stunned for a moment, and her smile faded.
β¦β¦
The moment Beiping Hou opened his eyes, the sky light and cloud shadows turned into a wisp under his eyes, the window edge was transparent, and the moonlight condensed into a milky white halo, which was sprinkled obliquely on the edge of the bed.
His memory slowly came back, and he vaguely saw a figure sitting next to the bed, a black robe tied up, and the drooping black hair scattered casually behind him.
The body moved with his heart, and when he reacted, his left hand had been removed from the cold sword body, and he pulled out the hilt of the sword, and the silver light appeared, and there was a high crisp hoarse sound in the air, and the tip of the sword pointed straight at the fragile neck of the man, cold and ruthless.
Jiang Zhongrong's hand shook, and the medicine bowl fell with a click, shattering to the ground.
The strong smell of medicine came to his nose, and he lowered his eyes to look at the tip of the sword, only to feel a tingling pain in his neck, and something warm slowly flowed down his veins.
The first reaction was that the Marquis of Beiping finally woke up.
"You, you're awake?"
When the Marquis of Beiping heard this, his wrist trembled, and he felt that the voice was a little familiar, he closed his eyes and opened them repeatedly, only then did he see clearly that the person sitting on the edge of the bed was Jiang Zhongrong, and as soon as he loosened his strength, the sword was put down.
"Master Hou, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Bei Pinghou shook his head slightly: "No, the wound is a little painful." β
"I've changed the medicine just now, don't move, just lie down, this is the abandoned mansion in Jiang's mansion, no one will come, you can rest assured that you can recuperate here, but what's wrong with you, how can you get hurt."
Bei Pinghou's gaze fell on his neck, the scarlet was particularly dazzling, thinking of his actions just now, he said weakly: "Just now, I'm sorry." β
Jiang Zhongrong was stunned for a moment, reacted that he was apologizing for something, wiped the blood with tears and laughter, shook his head and said, "It's okay, do you want to go back to sleep?" β
"No, I've slept long enough, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Bei Pinghou seemed to really can't lie down, looked around and said, "Help me sit up." β
Jiang Zhongrong hesitated: "Your wound ......"
"Don't get in the way, my recovery ability is different from ordinary people." As he spoke, he reached out and touched it, frowning slightly: "It turned out that there were no stitches, but if I don't move, I won't bleed, you believe me." β
Jiang Zhongrong had no choice but to help him sit up slowly, seeing that his face was pale, he couldn't bear it: "I'll boil medicine for you again, I haven't drunk it tonight." β
"What time is it?"
"Two moments."
Hearing this, Beiping Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice was like a cold white mist, ethereal: "It turns out that it's the second day, and it seems that there should be nothing to do." β
Jiang Zhongrong stood up and asked, "Dare to ask Hou Ye what is going on, even if I may not be able to share Hou Ye's worries, I can make all possible plans for the accident in advance." β
Beiping Hou might as well ask him, and told him clearly: "I don't know, at the height of the temple, maybe some people are jealous of me, maybe some people can't get used to it, and I have never dealt with Prince Zhan is not the first time to want to get rid of me, this time it was my negligence and sent Changfeng out to do things, so that people took advantage of the loophole." β
It was the first time Jiang Zhongrong heard him say such a long paragraph, and he thought that his voice was really clear and clean, but it was like an abyss in his eyes, which was unpredictable.
"I was alone against twenty or thirty people, but I was still attacked by someone and stabbed with a sword."
Jiang Zhongrong immediately comforted him, and then got up and went out to decoct the medicine.
Just as I walked to the middle of the courtyard, I heard the sound of knocking on the lock at the door.
I could faintly hear the voice of someone deliberately muffling his speech, scattered in the breeze.
Jiang Zhongrong intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he immediately turned around and walked into the house: "I feel that someone is trying to open the door and come in, it shouldn't be Sister Bangyue, we have been walking on the path of no one, leading to the back door, and the front door is always locked." β
Beiping Hou leaned on the head of the bed, his body tensed when he heard the words, and raised his sword eyebrows: "Who is it?" β
"I don't know, let's go out first."
Jiang Zhongrong supported the Marquis of Beiping, took the sword, and just walked out of the back door, the front door was forcibly picked and broke in. There was a lot of dry firewood in front of the back door, blocking half of the road, because it was dirty and messy, and the door was the color of firewood, and ordinary people would not pay attention to it.
Holding on to an injury, I can't walk. Jiang Zhongrong simply opened a crack in the back door and looked at it to see who the person who broke in.
Unexpectedly, it was Xia Ying who was at the forefront.
followed by Thirteen and Master Jiang sitting in a wooden wheelchair.
Master Jiang's face was expressionless, and he even brought some solemnity, letting people push him, and his hands couldn't stop gently tapping the thighs covered with blankets. He hurt his leg these days and rarely goes out, so a lot of gossip is heard.
For example, now, he looked directly at Xia Ying and Thirteen sternly: "You two think clearly, you have to tell the evidence in everything, saying that what Xiao Rong and Bang Yue are doing here is a big crime." β
Xia Ying hung her head, and resigned: "Yes, that's right, I saw Bang Yue and the eldest young master enter this house with my own eyes before, I thought that this is the place of the old people, no one has ever come here, what do they want to do need to sneak here, just at this time I met the thirteenth sister, so I went in together to take a sneak look, and then ......"
Master Jiang's face turned pale: "Then! Then whatever, when you finish your words, don't spit out. β
Xia Ying was embarrassed for a long time, but she couldn't speak. Still the thirteen on the side couldn't stand it, stomped his foot hard, and said hesitantly: "Then we saw the two of them take off their clothes and lie on the bed, although it is not a dirty thing for men and women to love, but the eldest young master is still young, and the girl who is in the moon is charming, although it is inevitable to be tempted, but why not be together in the name of righteousness, to find a place where no one is sneaking." β
Xia Ying echoed: "We feel that something is wrong, I don't dare to talk nonsense, so Thirteen went to tell the eldest lady, and the eldest lady checked and found out that Miss Bangyue originally had an unmarried husband." β
Jiang Zhongrong was about to jump up, but was suppressed by Hou Shengsheng of Beiping.
"Master Hou, this Xia Ying turned out to be from our courtyard, and she was talking nonsense." The more he talked, the more angry he became, he had given her kindness, but in exchange for such a white-eyed wolf.
"I know, don't be impulsive yet, let's see."
Master Jiang frowned: "Is this true?" β
Thirteen opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can go and check." We think it's a big deal, this Bangyue has a fiancΓ©, how can he have a relationship with the eldest young master at will, how can such an inappropriate person stay with the eldest young master, so we hurried to tell the master again. β
After being silent in the middle of the courtyard for a while, Master Jiang was persuaded, and looked back at the few house slaves behind him: "You go in and have a look." β
"Yes."
Soon, a few servants went in and rummaged through the cabinets, and indeed took out a few men's clothes and bedding that they had slept on. When Master Jiang saw those things, his eyes were as big as copper bells, whose clothes belonged to, how could he not know. Some of them are still the clothes that Jiang Zhongrong is used to wearing.
Hearing the words of the two maids before, coupled with the ambiguous clothes, Master Jiang's face turned pale, and he ordered: "Go and call those two people over." β
Wangshuo and Xue Wan's courtyards live in separate places, and it takes at least half an hour to go back and come back. When Jiang Zhongrong heard this, he immediately turned around and said to Beiping Hou: "Master Hou is waiting for me here, I'll go back to the house from here first, they should come to me later." β
After that, he couldn't wait for Beiping Hou to say something, so he ran back.
It didn't take long for Beiping Hou to see Jiang Zhongrong walking in calmly from the crack in the door, in the past, everything had been done with Zhou Xuan, and today she was suddenly called to a banquet, and suddenly he understood that this was just a transfer of the tiger from the mountain.
Because without Bang Yue, he may not be exposed. If the matter of hiding Beipinghou is shaken out, and someone with a heart hears about it, and then tells the person who wants to hurt Beipinghou, maybe the Jiang Mansion will suffer in the future.
But how can you prove the innocence of the two?
Jiang Zhongrong walked up to Master Jiang first, folded his hands, and saluted slowly: "Dad, I don't know why I called the child here at this time?" It's really lively today, and no one has been to my mother's former residence for several years. β
Master Jiang thought of his leg injury some time ago, Jiang Zhongrong took care of himself so dedicatedly, he couldn't bear to blame him, and excused him in his heart, he was young and vigorous, and it was inevitable that he would go off, if there was really anything, he would drive Bang Yue out of Jiang's mansion, and then choose a good girl for Jiang Zhongrong as soon as possible.
What is in the past, let it pass.
Thinking so, Master Jiang went straight to the point: "Xiaorong, someone saw that you had an affair with Bang Yue, is it true?" Is it true that Bang Yue has an unmarried husband? β
Jiang Zhongrong was surprised, and kept comforting himself, even if he didn't have Bang Yue, he had to be able to take charge alone, otherwise after Bang Yue left, he would be nothing.
Thinking about it, his gaze wandered and fell on Xia Ying.
In the past, Xia Ying was his own person, but he was not afraid that she would shake off what she had done before, after all, many of them were shaken out by Xia Ying's hands, and there was no doubt that she set herself on fire.
Xia Ying's body trembled, and she asked tremblingly: "Young master, you, don't look at me like this, I'm here for the good of the young master, Bang Yue She is actually very hypocritical, and she has always wanted the young master's money." β
"I remember that Bang Yue treated you well, but he really raised something to eat inside and out."
Jiang Zhongrong rarely said such things in front of people, although he was indifferent to people, he also seemed to be as warm as jade on weekdays, but he didn't like to talk to people.
So as soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
In the middle of the moon, light poured down from the top of his head, lining his eyes clearly: "Just a few clothes, this is also evidence?" This is where my mother lived when she was here, and none of you came, so why is it strange that I am my own son, but it has made someone with a heart grasp the handle, and say all some dirty bastard words. β
mentioned Dieniang, it was still brought up from Jiang Zhongrong's mouth, Master Jiang was somewhat embarrassed, but he was the head of the family, if such a thing really happened, for Jiang Zhongrong's good, he must not be merciful.
"It's not that Dad doesn't believe you, you are my son, Miss Bangyue is an outsider after all, if you are in love, I have nothing to say, but the premise is that her life is checked, there is no bad evaluation, if not, forgive me as a father, I can't agree."
"There is nothing between me and Bang Yue, and she has no misconduct." Jiang Zhongrong said firmly.
Thirteen remembered Xue Wan's instructions, and seeing that Xia Ying was speechless, he rushed up and said, "Young Master, you have probably never heard of Miss Bangyue's past, right?" β
Jiang Zhongrong really didn't hear Bang Yue say it, but that time he accidentally saw the script she wrote, so he also understood it, but he wanted to hear what this Xue Wan's good lackey would say, and asked funny: "You are restless and self-conscious and do your best to take care of your master, but you have a special understanding of an unknown junior, but it is fresh, let's listen to it." β
Thirteen was choked by Jiang Zhongrong, his face turned pale, and he forcibly calmed down and said: "I just accidentally heard that Wen Bangyue was in Xuanchang Opera Garden before, relying on her good looks, and playing between the rich sons and brothers, I heard that she was with the young master of the Liu family at that time, and she also had an unclear relationship with the Gu family's sons. Not only that, but he also did an earth-shattering ugly thing. β
"How earth-shattering, let's hear it." A smiling, but incomparably sharp voice suddenly came in.
