Chapter 19: Princess Xiuwen
Jiang Yuan didn't want to offend his family at this time, but now he couldn't help but not express his position, he couldn't really ask Jiang Xiaoyu to sit down on the matter of stealing the jade pendant rewarded by the Queen Mother, and he didn't say anything on his face, so it was naturally difficult to explain in front of the Queen Mother, and the Hou Ye didn't have the intention of turning big things into small things when he came with such a person.
"This matter was originally just a joke between children, but since it involves something rewarded by the heavenly family, naturally we can't be sloppy and call all the parties involved, and it is also the importance of the queen mother's old man, what does the Hou Ye think?" Ehara smiled slightly.
"Since you have moved out of the Queen Mother, can you refuse? But facts are facts, even if you call people from all over the world! Jiang Houyuan sneered and said in a deep voice, he didn't doubt his granddaughter in his heart, so he didn't feel weak, he just felt that Jiang Yuanhu was making a big fuss!
After another period of waiting, Jiang Xiaoyu had a leisurely and natural smile on her face, and looked coldly at Jiang Yuan gossiping with a few relatives in the house, she as a junior had no room for her to speak. The people who can appear here have some status in the Jiang family, and she combines the official positions and temperaments of several people, thinking about what those people can use in the future.
didn't wait long, Jiang Qiran and Jiang Huiran arrived before and after, the two just knelt down, Jiang Qiran didn't have time to cry in front of everyone about his grievances, Jiang Xiaoyu got up, shook the fan in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Call the two sisters, just have something to ask to understand, yesterday you tossed in Taoyao Courtyard for half the night, and never found your lost jade pendant, but this unfounded old marquis said that I stole your jade pendant, I don't know what the two sisters think?" β
Jiang Qiran glared at Jiang Xiaoyu hatefully, got up and got closer to his grandfather, and said coldly: "My jade pendant was lost in your yard, it wasn't stolen by you, who is it!" β
"Catch the thief and take the stolen goods!" Jiang Xiaoyu played with his nails and said lightly, "You didn't see me stealing your things with your own eyes, and you have no evidence, how do I know if you accidentally lost your things, afraid that the palace will blame you, and then you will blame me?" It's okay, say I'm a motherless, I deserve to be bullied by you! β
"Presumptuous!" The muscles of Jiang Houyuan's angry face trembled slightly, and his eyes bulged out of anger, "What a sharp-toothed girl!" Qiran's character, if you ask who doesn't know who doesn't know in the whole capital, will she wronged you! If you hand over your things today, the matter will be over, and if you don't hand them over, you see if this will let you go! This is just one of them, one of which is that you beat Qiran, how should you count it! β
"What is the old marquis going to do?" The voice came from outside the door, and the people in the house were all taken aback when they heard the voice, and they all raised their eyes to look out of the door, only Jiang Xiaoyu scolded in a low voice: "I really know how to pick the time!" β
The person who came was none other than Jiang Xiaoyu's fiancΓ© Zhao Ling, he was wearing a dark robe today, which suppressed the frivolous temperament on his body a lot, and the whole person looked much deeper, with that sharp eyes, the whole person was a little more murderous.
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted, Zhao Ling waved his hand casually, and said as he walked: "I am free today, and I am the future daughter-in-law who plans to come to take a look, but I didn't expect to see such a good show." I don't have any strengths, but my ears are a little more sensitive than ordinary people, just from Xiaoyu's words, I almost know what you are doing so much, but I don't understand why Hou Ye insists that our Xiaoyu is the thief who steals things! β
The corners of his mouth hooked a smile a little evil, looking at Jiang Xiaoyu's gaze was even more spoiled, he paused and continued: "Master Hou, you believe that your granddaughter's character is good and will not wronged people, and the junior also believes that my future daughter-in-law's character will not steal things, what does she like, the younger generation will get it for her even if she gives up her life, can she steal it?" β
As soon as she heard Zhao Ling's voice, Jiang Qiran's face was first happy to see her sweetheart, followed by bursts of whiteness, she kept swallowing saliva, clenched her fists and nails deeply into her palms, she blinked her eyes, looked at Zhao Ling pitifully with watery eyes, bit her lip, and whispered: "What the prince said is right, but Qiran's jade pendant is really gone......
"Your jade pendant is gone, it's because you were careless, what does it have to do with Xiaoyu!" He glanced at all the people in the room with a cold gaze, and smiled disdainfully, "You big men in this room are bullying this little girl, are you cold?" β
He looked at Jiang Xiaoyu reproachfully and said, "You too, you are bullied and you don't know how to find someone to call me, what did my fiancΓ© do?" Can I watch you be bullied? β
Zhao Ling's status is noble, and naturally no one present dared to refute his words, so he had to bow his head in shame, and scolded Jiang Houyuan in his heart, if he really offended this little demon king, if he retaliated in the future, what should he do?
"Bullying?" Jiang Houyuan didn't seem to be afraid of Zhao Ling, although his wrinkled face looked respectful, he always had a trace of disdain, "I'm afraid that the prince is beating me up for this, it's obviously strange to be bullied, we just want to get justice!" β
"Oh? So how does the Hou Ye plan to seek justice? Zhao Ling asked with a smile, he was already handsome, and his smile was like a spring flower and autumn moon, but his eyes seemed to be frozen with ice, so that people didn't dare to look at him.
"Naturally, I handed over the things, and then I wanted to apologize! Otherwise, I have to go to the Queen Mother to ask for an explanation! β
"You dare to wronged Xiaoyu without evidence, and ruin her reputation, coincidentally, I just want to enter the palace to ask for an explanation!" Zhao Ling grabbed Jiang Houyuan's arm, "Why don't we enter the palace together?" β
"You're messing around again!" A voice that was not loud or even a little gentle, but full of majesty came from outside the door, and then I saw an old lady in her thirties helping a woman in a beautiful dress in her thirties to enter.
"Auntie? What are you doing here? Zhao Ling was slightly surprised, and looked at the old lady next to the woman, this old lady was Jiang Houyuan's old wife, but he forgot that she was his aunt's nurse, and he didn't expect to move his aunt here.
"The queen mother, her old man eats fasting Buddha, and is cultivating, don't bother her with anything, beware of the queen mother's displeasure!" Princess Xiuwen said gently, "What's more, it's all a family, why make trouble to the point that water and fire are incompatible and everyone knows about it, isn't this a joke?" β
Princess Xiuwen sat down, looked at everyone with a soft gaze like autumn water, and said: "On the way here, this princess has already heard from Mrs. Hou Ye, and this princess doesn't want Xiao Yu to do such a thing, but in order to let the Hou family's family completely let go of their suspicions, this princess will make the decision to search your residence again, what do you think?" β
The last sentence Princess Xiuwen said to Jiang Xiaoyu, but when her water-like gaze fell on her, a cold murderous intent flashed.
Halfway through, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't expect that they would actually invite Princess Xiuwen, if the princess has any relationship with her, the relationship is deep.
Princess Xiuwen is a widow, her husband's death can really have something to do with herself, they invited the princess, presumably at the risk of offending Zhao Ling, but also to cut off their own way to the palace of the king of Chu!
That's right, no wonder Jiang Houyuan was able to dare to make such a battle with a few words from Jiang Qiran, it turned out that he had been prepared for a long time! The princess seems to be fair, but she is afraid of hiding a murderous opportunity!
