On July 22, the news of the old lady's death reached the palace of the king of Chu.

When the news came, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling were reading books in the study, discussing what had happened recently.

"It's strange, uncle, why are they gone?" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed, "I didn't get caught and didn't have any traces of resistance, I just disappeared for no reason!" I guessed that something had happened to my uncle, but I didn't expect it to be like this, but I still couldn't figure out how my uncle did it! ”

"No matter how Uncle does it, as long as they are safe, Uncle will soon prove that they are okay with the letter he sent to you the next day?" Zhao Ling persuaded, "Don't worry about it, it'll be fine!" ”

"Yes, I just think there's too much to figure out!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But it still has to be divided into two aspects, on the one hand, we must prevent the people of the eldest grandson family from attacking, but it is not enough to take precautions, on the other hand, we still have to hold their handles, Your Majesty wants to use the people of ten years ago to blackmail the Changsun family to retreat, but the eldest grandson Hu has to guard against Your Majesty, the truth is just a chess piece in their hands, and Your Majesty will not move this chess piece unless it is absolutely necessary, so we still need to find other breakthroughs, is the one thing that the second son said last time reliable?" ”

"I only believe half of his words!" Zhao Ling said, "Over the years, although their mother and son have not returned to Beijing, but we have always paid attention to their movements, Zhao Qu's mind is a little deep, his hatred for me does not know if it is well hidden, whether he will choose to retaliate These are not easy to say, his follow-up news has not been completely given to me, the people I sent out have not sent back the news they have found, it is estimated that it is these days, if some eyebrows are poked out, it proves that the general direction he said is not wrong, I will continue to talk to him!" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly, "His mother just died, and he was kicked out of the capital again, but you are smooth sailing, it should be impossible to say to you that there is no hatred, just to see if his hatred for you has surpassed everything, this child, you still need to be guarded against!" ”

"That's right!" Jiang Xiaoyu paused and said, "I seem to have heard that Mr. Beiming's eldest grandson Qi has returned to the capital, right?" ”

"I also received this news, but her whereabouts are very low-key, I don't know where she settled in the capital, but judging from what happened several times before, it is not good!" Zhao Ling sighed softly, "It's okay, this capital is a mess now, what should come and what shouldn't come are all here, even if it's like a mess, there should be time to be resolved." ”

"The calmer it is now, I wonder if the wind and waves will be greater in the future!"

"No matter what kind of storm it is, I'll be with you!" Zhao Ling looked at Jiang Xiaoyu deeply and said.

"Shizi, Shizi Concubine, the news from the Jiang Mansion just now, the old lady has gone!" Mama Qian said with a little anxious face.

Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling were stunned at the same time, but they had expected something a long time ago, so they were not too surprised.

Jiang Xiaoyu put down the book in his hand calmly, and said to Zhao Ling: "I'll go back to Jiangfu first, there are so many people in Jiangfu, and the cooking of this aftermath has already begun, you don't have to come over, deal with your own affairs first, I know that there is a lot of official business these days, if there is anything that needs help, I will let someone inform you!" ”

Zhao Ling thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I asked Yang Xing to follow to protect your safety, you also have to pay attention to your own safety at all times, there are many people, beware of people from the secret door taking the opportunity to sneak in!" ”

"Well, I'll be careful!"

Jiang Xiaoyu said that, he took Yanyan and Mama Qian to pack up their things and went back to Jiangfu.

In front of the old lady's bed, all the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion knelt down, and there was no sudden blow, although everyone was wiping their tears, they didn't seem to be sad in their imagination, but they were relieved.

Everyone kowtowed to the old lady one by one, and the old lady's most trusted Mama Gu cleaned the old lady's body and changed her shroud. The torture for more than a year has turned the old lady into a skeleton with a layer of skin, weak and terrifying, and Jiang Yuan easily carried her to the coffin.

However, the clansmen of the Jiang clan who were guarding outside the room were crying loudly, and compared to the silent sobbing in the room, it was their loved ones who died more outside the room.

The change in the court situation made the position of the patriarch of Jiangyuan more secure, although because of the death of his mother, he would worry about Ding for three years, and during these three years, he would be far away from the court.

Although everyone doesn't talk about it, who doesn't regard the second prince as the future prince in their hearts? And the Jiang family must have voluntarily become the second prince's person, at least in their hearts, they regarded themselves as the second prince's people.

And because Jiang Xiaoyu is Jiang Xiaoyu, he will become the person who has the closest relationship with the second prince.

This Jiang Xiaoyu has gone from being a despised disaster star at the beginning, to the princess in everyone's eyes, and the nobles of the Jiang family, and it has only been more than a year.

People's hearts are so strange, although there is no hatred for the old lady, her death, I didn't use any pleasure, but I didn't have much sadness, those family feelings have long since slowly disappeared in the original indifference and hatred.

Obviously, Jiang Youran is the saddest person who cried, but these women of the Jiang clan comforted themselves, who did not shed a single tear, and it is no wonder that who would comfort a person with an uncertain future, she would not bring them any benefits.

The third aunt had been arranging the old lady's funeral for a long time, so everything was taken care of in an orderly manner.

Because of the relationship between Jiangyuan and Jiang Xiaoyu, there are countless people who come to mourn, and there is always a lot of traffic in front of the door.

In the evening, the condolences to the guests left, Jiang Xiaoyu saw that Jiang Youran looked tired, and asked her to go back to rest first, no need to keep vigil, Jiang Youran nodded and went back first.

The moonlight was as cold as water, and the blowing and blowing in front of it made the room even more silent and cold.

Jiang Youran wiped his tears, felt a dry cough in his mouth, wanted to drink some water, the teapot was empty, and shouted: "Xiaoyou, Xiaoliang, pour me a cup of tea!" ”

Several maids in the courtyard were sent to the front to help, only two were still guarded, two of them sat on the stone steps and sipped melon seeds, and one said: "Miss let you pour tea!" ”

"It's you who is clearly shouting!"

The two shirked each other, and neither of them wanted to move.

"Xiaoyou, here comes those hot water!" Jiang Youran in the room shouted again.

Xiao You reluctantly stood up and complained: "She has a lot of, why don't she have long hands, and she thinks that she is the eldest lady who used to be powerful, and she doesn't look at her current identity, how many people still see her in their eyes?" ”

She went to the kitchen, casually fetched some cold water in the water tank, went to the house and put down the teapot, and said, "Miss, you want water!" ”

"Why is this water cold?" Jiang said leisurely, "I want to drink hot water, go change the hot water!" ”

"There's no hot water!" Xiao You said as a matter of course.

"Won't it boil without hot water?" Jiang Youran frowned and asked.

"My young lady, the big guy is busy today, his legs have not rested, he doesn't even have time to drink cold water, there is still time to boil hot water, my young lady, just bear with it!" Xiao You said disapprerovingly.

"I turn a blind eye to your lazy and slippery weekdays, but today is getting more and more excessive, and you can't on the head you want to ride? I'd rather drink hot water, so I'm going to boil it now! Jiang leisurely shouted.

Xiao You's face was fearless, and he sneered: "Miss wants to drink, burn it yourself!" ”

"You!"

At this time, the door was opened, Jiang Xiaoyu walked in expressionlessly, and sneered: "It's really getting more and more rules, this is the attitude you have when you speak?" Jiang Mansion is quite generous to his subordinates, your monthly silver has not been given to you, and the money for clothes has not been deducted from you, you should do things when you take the money, what is your attitude? Who told your rules to talk like that to numbers? ”

"The princess forgives the sin, the slave and the maid did not mean it!" Xiao You knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Since you are unwilling to do things, the Jiang Mansion will not force you to stay!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "Ming'er will go out by herself!" ”

"The princess, the slave maid was bought by her parents, if you don't stay in Jiangfu, the slave and maid really have no way to go!" Xiao You hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Take it down!" Jiang Xiaoyu waved her hand, and asked her subordinates to boil water, she sat down, "You weren't like this before!" ”

"In the past, it was because my mother was here, my mother was gone, the Qin family also fell, and my father thought that he couldn't see me, and it was normal for these subordinates to be red and white!" Jiang Youran smiled, "I wasn't such a person before, but now I'm just eating the bitter fruit, and I don't deserve sympathy!" ”

"Don't mention this matter, haven't you always wanted to leave the capital?" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I have already arranged that after my grandmother's cremation, you will send her ashes back to your hometown!" I will choose a few honest and reliable people to follow you, you don't have to worry about the future! After three years, if you ...... If you were okay at that time, you can still talk, and you will choose a good family business for you! ”

Jiang Youran wiped his tears: "Actually...... I used to really hate you and wanted to hurt you, and now you are really the one I rely on and trust the most, life, it's always so incredible! I'm so grateful that you remember me, and I hope you can get what you want, and then grow old with the son! ”

"Hmmm! Yes! Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "Life, it should always be full of hope!" ”

The blowing and beating in front is still lively, but this Jiangfu is also two points warmer because of the two sisters.
