Chapter 21: Who's Jealous!

"Today, I actually asked the princess to run away in vain, which is the sin of the old body!" Mrs. Hou sighed deeply, looking at Xiu Wen and showing some pity, "I'm afraid today reminds the princess of the sad past!" ”

"Although ten years have passed, Xiuwen has never forgotten for a moment, it is Xiuwen who is confused, ten years ago, he should have eliminated the enemy cleanly, but he was soft-hearted and let that little girl survive!" Princess Xiuwen's face was covered with a chill, "In the past ten years, she has also done her duty, so much so that Xiuwen almost forgot that there is such a person living in the world!" ”

Her eyes narrowed slightly: "If she just lives in such a low-key way, she can live a good life, but I don't know what my nephew Zhao Ling is thinking, she wants to honor the marriage more than ten years ago, but she is not afraid of getting angry, the second child is in big trouble now!" That girl wants to rely on Zhao Ling to do evil, and wants the pheasant to become a phoenix, hmph, how can I give her a chance! The days are still long, and I want to see what that girl can do! ”

At this time, her subordinates handed back a jade pendant to her, this jade pendant was exactly the same as the one Jiang Qiran lost, she played with it in her hand, and sneered: "The queen mother has always hated that woman, I thought it was foolproof, but I didn't expect to underestimate my nephew!" But in the final analysis, this matter is still caused by Qiran's nonsense, and the trouble is like this, Qiran's face is also lost, you should discipline her well! ”

"The old body obeys!"

A storm is over, those who should leave are gone, and the rest is naturally thoughtful. The old lady lay down slightly, squinting her eyes and looking a little tired, this family will make such a big move this time, I am not afraid of tearing my face, I am afraid that I have already felt the threat of them, if I really let Xiaoyu's girl take the Chu Palace, there is a threat to the position of their family......

Since things have come to this point, I am afraid that it will not be tolerated with my family, except for trying to let that girl marry the prince, and then get involved with the second prince, I am afraid that there is no better way, but after all, they are the people of the third prince, and it is still a little difficult to move the position of their patriarch!

She squinted her eyes and looked coldly at Jiang Huiran, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and said coldly: "I know that there is some friction between your sisters, but I never thought that you would frame your sister in order to unite outsiders!" Idiot, if she has a bad reputation, what good will it do to the Jiang family, and what good will it do you! ”

"Grandmother is angry, Hui Ran knows that she is wrong, Hui Ran will never dare again!" Jiang Huiran fell to the ground and cried, his shoulders trembled, looking quite pitiful.

"This time, you can be regarded as witty, and you have taken the army of your own family!" The old lady sneered, "Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, and inviting all the uncles in the clan is a shame!" You go back and think about it, and don't go out without my permission! ”

"Yes!"

It's March, spring is shining, and the flowers on both sides of the road are blooming brightly, colorful and charming.

Zhao Ling is tall and has a pair of long legs, he seems to be taking a leisurely stroll while admiring the spring color of the garden, while holding Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, and the petite fish is more like a trot.

She raised her eyes to look at the side of his face, with a shallow smile, dissolving a little bit of the chill on her body, the starry eyebrows and sword eyes were like a crown of jade, and she did have a face that women would be jealous of.

She broke free of her slightly sweaty hand and said with a smile: "It's enough to send it here, the son of the world walks slowly, I should go back too!" ”

"In order to help you offend Master Hou today, you didn't say a word of thanks, and you weren't even happy to send me off?" Zhao Ling had a smile on the corner of his mouth, a little evil, although his eyes were bright, he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"My father's top boss Hubu Shangshu has fallen, and the eldest son of the old marquis, Jiang Hai, has not contributed less as a jumper on the imperial history platform, to put it bluntly, they are the people of the third prince, and you and the second prince wear a pair of pants, don't say it's for me, you are not the people along the way for a long time!" Jiang Xiaoyu snorted and said lightly.

"What a girl with no conscience, you are in the depths of the boudoir, but you know a lot of things, I don't know who told you about the things in the court?" Zhao Ling raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This has nothing to do with you! But then again, how do you know that I put the jade pendant in my fifth sister's room! Jiang Xiaoyu straightened her sleeves and said, the sets of clothes sent by the eldest lady are all made of good materials, which should be made compared to her two daughters, but her figure is really thin, loosely dressed, and has no temperament.

"We're fiancΓ©s, we're just mindful, what's so strange! You girl is also ruthless, and she won't even let go of her sister! ”

"It's just to treat others in the way of others, if you are distressed, it is too late for me to demolish it now!" Jiang Xiaoyu sneered, shook him off and walked forward quickly.

"Yo, this is jealousy! I just said a word for others, you are so jealous, and you said that you will marry a few beautiful side concubines for me in the future, how can I believe this! Zhao Ling's eyes showed a smile, and he leaned over to pull Jiang Xiaoyu's hand with a smile.

"Who's jealous!" Jiang Xiaoyu glared angrily.

"Why are your hands so rough?" Zhao Ling grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and stroked it carefully.

Jiang Xiaoyu sneered: "You try to do rough work for ten years, see if you are still the fine skin and tender meat you are now?" ”

Zhao Ling didn't smile, but held Xiaoyu's book to his chest, stared into her eyes with his eyes, and said solemnly: "I will never make you suffer again in the future!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu looked away a little panicked, and a little self-deprecating melancholy appeared on his face: "Who knows what will happen in the future!" ”

In the Rosewood Garden, the eldest lady and mother and daughter listened to the little maid's report on the situation in the front hall and sent people away.

Jiang Youran dropped the score in his hand in disappointment, got up and wandered around the room for a while, and said unwillingly: "I didn't expect to let Jiang Xiaoyu retreat with his whole body, how did they do it, so many people came and even the princess was invited, it would be this kind of result!" I didn't expect that the prince would maintain Jiang Xiaoyu to such an extent! ”

Jiang Yiran said slowly: "I said earlier, let's not swim in the muddy waters this time, even if Jiang Xiaoyu is unlucky, she is still a member of our family after all, if her father and grandmother know, after all, she will be unhappy, only Jiang Huiran, the fool, rushed in front!" But no matter how the prince maintains Jiang Xiaoyu, as long as the king of Chu has not spoken in the palace, this matter is hanging, there is no need to worry too much, mother, what do you say? ”

The eldest lady looked out of the window coldly, muttered for a while before turning her head to look at her two daughters, and said, "Don't be against Jiang Xiaoyu in the future, not only don't go against her, but also try to please her!" Can your father be a scholar, can he overpower the family, I'm afraid it's all tied to that girl's body! There's no reason why she'd refuse my overtures...... I'm afraid that she will accept our overtures now, and bite us back after she really gains a foothold in the future...... After all, there are some things I don't know if she knows! ”

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and a line of geese flies leisurely in the air.

Seeing the carriage from the bustling street all the way out of the city gate, and then into the deserted suburbs, Yan Yan was suspicious all the way, and finally couldn't help asking, "Miss, where are we going?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu was closing his eyes all the way, hearing the words, he opened his eyes, opened the curtain and looked outside, and said lightly: "You don't have to ask so much, you'll know in a while!" ”

Not long after the carriage left, it stopped not far from the big tree, Jiang Xiaoyu jumped out of the car, Yan Yan wanted to follow, she said lightly: "You stay here, wait for me to come back!" ”

"But Miss...... The slave is a little worried! Yan Yan said worriedly.

"Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what is there to worry about!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled lightly, "You just have to wait for me here, I'll be back in a while!" ”

When she got out of the car, she skirted the big tree and headed straight ahead, which became more and more barren in front of her, except for a knee-high meadow, and occasionally a few frightened birds fluttered and flew up.

"You're here!" Suddenly, someone suddenly jumped up from the grass, with a stick of grass in his mouth, and said, "Why is it so slow, I've been waiting for a while!" ”

"You're trying to scare me to death! How's it going? Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the young man in front of him and said, the young man looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, his body was dirty, and his clothes were tattered, like a beggar's dress, with his hands behind his head, but his eyebrows were very hearty and a little bohemian.

"There's something I can't do!" The young man pointed his thumb to his nose and said triumphantly, "You come with me!" ”

The two of them walked a few feet ahead, and only saw that there were still two or three teenagers digging something, and not far from them lay seven or eight corpses, some of them rotting, some of them still well preserved, all of them children.

The young man pointed to those corpses and gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Jiang Houyuan, that old brute! Look at the corpses, they are all little girls who are not yet ten years old! These are only found temporarily, and it is estimated that there are quite a few! These corpses should have only recently been buried here, and I don't know how many more there were before! This old brute, how can he do it! ”

"So many little girls died, didn't the people in the family report the crime?" Xiao Yu frowned and asked softly.

"These children were sold to Ya Pozi because they couldn't survive in the family, and those who were lucky were bought into slaves and maidservants in the homes of officials and nobles, and those who were unlucky were bought into brothels, but they are estimated to be the ones with the worst luck, and they met Zhang Houyuan's kind of perversion!" The young man sighed deeply, "Once they are sold, it is equivalent to having nothing to do with the life and death of their family and parents, and naturally no one will know that they are no longer alive!" ”

"Can these children be identified?" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and asked.

"These female dolls are all buried here in stripes, and there is no evidence on them, but there are still a few corpses whose appearance is complete, as long as you find the tooth woman who often deals with the Hou Mansion to identify them, it is not difficult to confirm that they are the maids of the Hou Mansion, and these people are all because of the same poison, these will be known by a test!"
