"The eldest lady will commit suicide is beyond my expectations, she walked very peacefully, without any pain, but I don't think she is pitiful, everyone will get two results before doing a thing, good or bad, you have to accept it, and you have to be responsible for the consequences!" Liu Ruli said, "So Xiaoyu, you are not taking an ordinary road, but a road full of thorns, and you must also be prepared to be responsible for all kinds of consequences!" ”

"It's been done a long time ago, life or death!" Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the dustpan and walked into the house, and the lightning outside came one after another, and the thunder began to sound, and the wind was fierce.

The two of them moved all the medicinal materials to the house before the heavy rain fell, Liu Ruli checked his precious medicinal materials while saying lightly: "Sometimes the consequences are not just death, you just have to be ready to bear everything, of course, although this road is difficult, but I believe that my precious apprentice will be able to go to the end!" ”

"Thank you, Master!"

"By the way, your senior brother has written to me today, his injuries are almost healed, and he has brought back the medicinal materials he needs!" Liu Ruli handed a bottle of medicine to Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, "This is this month, the amount is not much, after I practice the antidote, this kind of antidote that can only temporarily suppress the cold poison in your body will no longer be needed!" ”

"Hey, I really want to see my good apprentice become a beautiful woman soon!" Liu Ruli showed a fatherly gaze.

"How is his health lately, he hasn't been in touch with me for more than a month!" Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it and asked again.

"He's still the same, he can't live and die!" Liu Ruli sighed, "It's really not the right time for this eldest lady to die, isn't this going to delay you for a year in vain?" ”

"Ethically speaking, my marriage with Zhao Ling is indeed going to be postponed until a year later! But this year's time will not be wasted, I will have some new preparations! ”

After a night of heavy rain, the weather was good the next day, with the fragrance of earth and trees in the air, but Jiangfu was already plain at the moment, and it looked quite desolate.

Yanyan took a set of filial piety clothes inside, waited for Jiang Xiaoyu to change in, and then went to the mourning hall with her.

The old lady's body did not allow her to work, and the matter of taking care of the aftermath still fell on the third aunt. Although the death of the eldest lady is inseparable from the third aunt, there is no one more suitable for taking care of the funeral in an orderly manner than her at this moment. And the third aunt did not gloat, did not feel guilty and blamed, but dutifully arranged this funeral, which can be regarded as the last respect for the former housewife, of course, the son he thinks about day and night has also returned to his side.

When Jiang Xiaoyu arrived at the mourning hall, Jiang Yiran, Jiang Yiran, and Jiang Haoran had already arrived, kneeling in turn in filial piety clothes, and the front position was for the eldest daughter Jiang Xiaoyu. She walked over slowly, and the expressions of the three sisters and brothers fell into her eyes one after another.

Although Jiang Haoran sometimes behaves like an adult, he is still a child after all, although he and the eldest lady do not have much real mother-son affection, but the eldest lady treats him considerately, and these few tears are sincere. Jiang Youran was really sad, her eyes were swollen, and she lowered her head and didn't look like she was domineering at all, so she wanted to go up and comfort her.

Only Jiang Yiran didn't shed tears, stubbornly raised her eyes and watched Jiang Xiaoyu walk in front of her, there was no sadness in her eyes, no hatred, only bottomless darkness, the gloomy temperament revealed by her body made Jiang Xiaoyu's heart tremble slightly, and she always felt that the woman in front of her was the same as before, and it seemed to be different.

Jiang Xiaoyu knelt down, and after a while, the guests who came to pay tribute came one after another, she couldn't help but think of when her mother died ten years ago, her mother committed suicide, but it was indeed wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave, compared to her, the eldest lady who also committed suicide still got the respect that Mrs. Shangshu deserved, although one was to blame, the other was framed, and God was never fair. She looked at the tablet of the eldest lady, you died too early, and your mother died before she dug it up one by one, how could you die like this?

When it was almost noon, Zhao Ling came to worship, and after offering incense, he comforted Jiang Yiran's sisters: "The deceased has passed away, and the festival mourns smoothly!" ”

Although they had heard this sentence countless times, Jiang Youran's eyes were still filled with emotion: "More Shizi cares!" ”

"More care about the world!" Jiang Yiran's expression was still very light, and there were basically no ups and downs.

Zhao Ling nodded lightly, and then took the opportunity to have a few words with Jiang Xiaoyu and called her out.

Inside the back garden.

Jiang Xiaoyu sat on the stone, Zhao Ling gently rubbed her knees for her, and said distressedly: "I've been kneeling for a morning, I'm tired!" ”

"Nothing tiring or tired, can't say what it feels like!" Jiang Xiaoyu was still massaged by him, "I just think she shouldn't die now, I still have a lot of questions in my heart!" ”

"The truth won't die out with time, so don't be too anxious!" Zhao Ling said, "But there is one thing I agree with you very much, it is not the right time for her to die, I only entered the palace yesterday and messed around with the imperial grandmother, and set the marriage date for the two of us, but this kind of thing has been reported, this time it will have to be postponed for a year, when will I be able to marry you?" ”

"Will the Queen Mother agree?" Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at Zhao Ling differently, "Are you too scoundrel or is the Queen Mother doting on you too much?" ”

"The Queen Mother called you into the palace, I haven't had time to ask you, did you embarrass you?" Zhao Ling asked with concern.

"Nope! I am a person who has the support of the prince, who dares to embarrass me! I have to go back, it's been a long delay, I'm afraid someone will chew on the root of my tongue! Jiang Xiaoyu jumped down from the stone, but Zhao Ling suddenly hugged him into his arms.

"What's wrong?" Her heart was beating violently, she soothed it, looked up at his chin and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to hug you all of a sudden!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly and touched the top of Jiang Xiaoyu's head, "I think you've grown a little taller again!" Next year...... What will you look like when we get married next year? ”

"It's not this ugly picture!" Jiang Xiaoyu called Zhao Ling's blazing gaze and lowered his head a little shyly, "Don't think too much!" The matter of the three princes has not been completely dealt with, as long as Princess Xiuwen is dealt with, then the three princes will be released, you know what I mean, Su Xuan, you have to hurry up and find a way! ”

"Got it!" Zhao Ling pinched Jiang Xiaoyu's nose, "It's all arranged, as long as she agrees, she can start acting!" ”

"That's great!"

In the evening, the last group of mourners also left, but the Jiang family sisters and brothers still had to stay awake for the eldest lady all night, and in the middle of the night, there were only four sisters and brothers left in the mourning hall, Jiang Haoran was the youngest and was already beginning to doze off, the surroundings were quiet, as if there was no sound, the night was very dark, like thick ink, and a few stars were twinkling alone in the sky.

Jiang Yiran suddenly spoke: "Now that you are satisfied with this result?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you talking to me?" ”

Jiang Yiran was silent.

Jiang Haoran had already woken up, and Jiang Youran also lowered his gaze, ignoring the war that was about to break out between the two women.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

Jiang Yiran sneered: "You think you can deceive me?" How could you have found so much evidence without your third aunt? ”

"Don't put the cart before the horse, the eldest lady is completely self-inflicted today!" Jiang Xiaoyu said coldly, "Did I force her to murder her grandmother?" Earlier, did I force her to collude with the mountain bandits to murder me? Did I force her to collude with the fourth aunt and want to harm me in the Qin Mansion? Did I force her to push me down the well? Did I force her to frame my mother and cause her to commit suicide? ”

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

"How about the evidence? What if there is no evidence? You are her daughter, and you are gifted and intelligent, you should know a lot of things, you can deceive others, but you can't hide your conscience! Jiang Xiaoyu sneered, "Could it be that you can only harm me again and again, and I can only endure it again and again, and I can't resist at all?" ”

"It's not over!"

"Of course I know it's not over, and I'm not going to let it end like this!"

"Then let's wait and see who can really have the last laugh!"

Neither of them glanced at each other as they spoke, and when they had finished what they wanted to say, the room returned to its original quiet.

Jiang Haoran's eyes were rolling slightly, digesting the news he had just heard, Jiang Youran lowered his head even deeper, and he didn't know why he had a deep fear of Jiang Xiaoyu, afraid that she would retaliate!

The affairs of the Jiang family in the whirlpool of the capital will always be just a trivial matter, and all everyone's attention is still focused on the Cangzhou enclosure case, although many doubts have been transferred to Princess Xiuwen, but the three princes are still the focus of everyone's attention.

How would the emperor handle the enclosure case? What punishment will Princess Xiuwen receive? Will the Three Princes be implicated? It's all a conversation after dinner.

With the Cangzhou enclosure case is talked about as fiercely as the upcoming scientific examination, because this year's scientific examination is presided over by the Prime Minister himself, to put an end to cheating and back doors, so that this year's scientific examination is particularly fair, those students who have no real talent but have money and connections are depressed, and those talented students are full of self-confidence, pointing to the country, and the poor students are seeing the hope of being close.

Jianghuaiju, an ordinary inn, is also famous this year because of the presence of two students who are very likely to be high school, the two of them are one south and one north, both of them are talented people, and the most people in the gambling house bet on these two to win the championship.
