Xiao Wang was irritable about what he couldn't find, and Mama Pei's anxious voice sounded outside the door.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhizhou is back and is heading this way."

Pei Mama knocked on the door softly and hurriedly, but she couldn't hear a response from the house, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed into the house.

"Ma'am?"

There was silence in the room, so dim that it was impossible to see clearly, and Mama Pei leaned over to the bed, and found that Madame Chiang was looking at her with her eyes open, and she almost sat down on the ground in fright.

"Mama." Madame Jiang felt that she had never been so sober, "Come forward." ”

"What are you ......" Mama Pei knew that Mrs. Jiang was probably running out of oil and the lamp had dried up, and it should be back to light at this moment.

Mrs. Jiang also knew in her heart that she had been weak for several years, but after King Xiao entered the door, she realized that she had come to this point, wasn't it all thanks to this man?

"There's a key stuck under my feet, and you put it away." Madame Jiang pointed to the bottom of the bed with some difficulty.

Mama Pei pressed the position of Madame Jiang's finger, and sure enough, she pulled off a copper key from a corner of the couch.

Seeing that Mama Pei got the key, Mrs. Jiang smiled bitterly: "After all, I haven't been able to live for myself." ”

"You don't have to think like this, the old lady is still here, what the lady wants to do, just tell me."

"You still know me best." Madame Jiang was so weak that she couldn't cry, so she could only hold on to her spirits and instructed, "The two idiots I gave birth to are not good, but after all, they are all my blood and bones, and I can't ignore them." I also hid the 50,000 taels of silver I wanted to give to King Xiao, under the bed in Xin Yulan's room. ”

"What does Madame want to do with this money?"

"This key in your hand is the one who opened the silver box. You quietly divided all the money and deposited it into a silver ticket. ”

Mrs. Jiang took Mama Pei's hand, but Mama Pei only felt as if a ball of cotton was on her hand.

"Mama, you have served me all my life, and you have treated me really well, and now I can only entrust the children to you. Yue'er is stupid, I'm afraid that there is no way to live if she marries into King Xiao's Mansion, so you let Ning Xiang marry her. ”

"But hasn't Xiao Wangfu already divorced?" Mama Pei wondered.

"King Xiao still has to rely on the Zhizhou Mansion to collect money for him, and now that there is no me, he will definitely hold Yue'er hostage."

"Zhuozhou is not a rich place......

"Because they have never been rich, people don't pay much attention to the money collected by the governor. If you think about it, there is only so much money in total, and it is in the hands of only a dozen people. Madame Jiang sighed, "If it weren't for the rush to use the money for grain and grass, how could I have made a fuss about the theft of the bank?" ”

"Madame worked hard for King Xiao, but he ...... Alas...... "Mama Pei is not worth it for Mrs. Jiang."

"Mama, you should take the silver yourself, take my two children away, I have someone to dispense the medicine, they drink it, there will be no trouble."

"That's your own flesh and blood." Mama Pei couldn't bear the painful feeling and covered her face with her hands, "In this way, won't they remember you anymore?" ”

"It's okay, mothers like me, it's good that they don't remember." Madame Jiang lay on her back, looking at the bed curtain with blank eyes, "In the future, they will follow you, maybe they will live faster." ”

"Since Madame has ordered so, the old slave will definitely do it." Mama Pei clutched her chest and responded mournfully.

Jiang Zhizhou also arrived outside the door of the house at this moment, and before she got close, Mama Pei heard the voice, and Mrs. Jiang saw that her expression was suddenly serious, and she also stopped.

"Xue Niang, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Zhizhou didn't seem to expect Mrs. Jiang to send him out with a smile during the day, and when she came back at night, she already looked like she had run out of oil and dried up.

"Let's get out." Even if it was coming, Mrs. Jiang didn't want to see Jiang Zhizhou's disgusting appearance, "It's unlucky here, and it's easy to affect the fortune of the Xianggong." ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Zhizhou ordered someone to move a chair and put it on the side of the bed, and sat where he could reach out to Mrs. Jiang, "And I also have something I want to tell you." ”

Jiang Zhizhou sat down and glanced at Mama Pei, who retreated cautiously and with great interest.

"What does Xianggong want to say?"

Jiang Zhizhou had never had such an attitude towards Madame Jiang, as if he was repentant and angry.

"I know all about Chunying." Jiang Zhizhou held Mrs. Jiang's soft tin with one hand, and gently patted his leg with the other, as if he was considering what to say about this matter, "You may not think that it was King Xiao who sent someone to tell me, just now." ”

Madame Jiang understood what Jiang Zhizhou was talking about, and turned her head to look at him in horror, only to find that his expression had calmed down.

"Madam, there are some things that I don't say, just because I don't know. But you are really my lucky star, since I married you, I can be described as the number one celebrity in front of King Xiao, and I can more or less guess why. Jiang Zhizhou only revealed his true side at this time, "I have been pretending to be half my life, but in fact, I am also tired." And I'm afraid you don't know, Yan'er is not our child, it is me and my wife. ”

Wife?! Madame Chiang lay on the bed, not knowing how to react.

Jiang Zhizhou seemed to appreciate Mrs. Jiang's desperate expression now: "What you gave birth to back then was a stillborn, you can ask King Xiao about this, after all, he did it." ”

"You... How do you..."

"How do I know?" Jiang Zhizhou also showed a wry smile, "I was originally a small official in Zhuozhou, when King Xiao found me and asked me if I would like to fly Huang Tengda, how could I not want to?" ”

Jiang Zhizhou remembered the past, and his eyes were slightly moist: "Do you know that Chunying is very similar to my wife, not in appearance, but in personality, but she was taught bad by you." But it doesn't matter, there is no one to replace her anyway. ”

"Your... Hair... Wife... Who is it?" Madame Chiang spat out those two words with great difficulty.

"She died, she died in childbirth." Jiang Zhizhou lowered his head, nostalgic for his old man, "The courtyard that Qi Ying bought is the property I bought for my wife. You may not know that I know all the false accounts you have worked so hard to make, and when you send someone to send silver taels to King Xiao, I will also send the silver taels that the people below me have given me with filial piety to my wife. ”

"So all I've been doing for so many years is... It's just..."Xu was too angry, and Mrs. Jiang actually held her breath and said the whole thing, but after all, her eyes were dilated, and her hands hung down heavily.

She couldn't look at it, Jiang Zhizhou saw this, and reached out to help her close her eyes.

"You can rest assured, I will help you take revenge, how to say, husband and wife for many years, I can still fulfill this friendship." Jiang Zhizhou saw Su Xueniang end up with hatred, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, thinking back on all these years, it was not that he didn't really love her, but he knew that it was a dream from the beginning, and now he really doesn't have a lot of sadness.

Jiang Zhizhou got up and walked outside the door, and saw that the people waiting outside had already tied up Mama Pei and were waiting for him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Watch tightly, she took me the key in her arms." As soon as Jiang Zhizhou stretched out his hand, someone respectfully presented the key with both hands.

Mama Pei was searched, and she didn't know where she was going, and she was thinking about the two little masters, so she kept struggling, but she didn't know what kind of rope was tied to her, and she moved more and more tightly, and her hands were behind her back, as if they were about to break.

"Don't struggle, aren't you also sent by King Xiao to Qingyang Bo's mansion, what kind of master and servant love is here?" Jiang Zhizhou said sarcastic words, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a strange arc, "The people of the Yellow Sparrow were actually subdued by the cicada, I really don't know if you are loyal or not." ”

"How do you know the many difficulties of Madame?"

"Why do I know? She chooses the path herself, even if she tells me the truth once? It's good now, I haven't caught a single man in my life. ”

"You!!" Pei Mama went crazy angrily, her eyes were scarlet, and she wanted to open her mouth to pounce on Jiang Zhizhou and bite him fiercely.

As soon as Jiang Zhizhou stepped back, the person who restrained Mama Pei tightened the rope, making it impossible for her to move forward half a step further.

"King Xiao treats her like this, you don't go crazy with King Xiao, but howl at me, a cuckold, it's really amazing." Jiang Zhizhou said a few sarcastic words, turned around and left, and someone took Mama Pei to where she should go.

And everything that happened in this courtyard, King Xiao didn't know, he ran out of patience and went back to the house directly, and the last thing he should do in a fit of anger was to remove the few secret guards who protected Madame Jiang.

He returned to King Xiao's Mansion angrily, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't just forget it, but it was obvious that Mrs. Jiang would not survive tonight, and he really couldn't afford to wait.

Xiao Qian was hurriedly found, and as soon as he entered his father's yard, he saw him coming from afar, which was something that had never happened before.

"You go tomorrow and make the divorce clear."

"What? Has my father found a better candidate? Xiao Qian was a little nervous.

"No, you have to marry Jiang Yueyue." Xiao Wang Zhengse said.

"Why?!" Xiao Qian thought about it, he was tired of playing with this woman for so long, and now from his father's plan, it didn't help him more, so why not take this opportunity to cut it in two.

Seeing that his son looked unwilling, King Xiao could only tell the truth: "Now the armor of the army has not been completed, so I am waiting for the last silver to be in my hands, but Su Xueniang is only afraid that she will not survive tonight, and the most likely thing is that she told Jiang Yueyue the location of the silver." ”

"She has never been waiting to see Jiang Yueyue, this is what the girl said herself." Xiao Qian frowned, "Could it be that we are going to gamble like this?" ”

"No, this is not called gambling, son, Su Xueniang only has one daughter."

"Isn't there another Jiang Yan?" Xiao Qian thought that his father had misremembered, so he reminded him.

"That's not Su Xueniang's own, although I don't know if Su Xueniang can see it, we can't take this risk."

"Jiang Yan and Su Xueniang are seven or eight points similar!" Xiao Qian was frightened, "How could it be..."

"Speaking of which, Jiang Yan's biological mother is also a little related to Su Xueniang, but now is not the time to dwell on these things." King Xiao was anxious, "This silver is urgent, if you can't find it, then you can..."

"How much is this money?"

"Fifty thousand taels."

"But fifty thousand taels?" Xiao Qian pursed his lips, "Can this be worthy of the child's wishes?" ”

"Your will is not worth fifty thousand taels. Do you know that our Xiao Wangfu can't pull out this gap? ”

"How is that possible? Doesn't my father still have real estate in his name? ”

"Where is the property? Don't you know how much silver it costs to raise an army of tens of thousands? ”

"This..."Xiao Qian thought about it carefully, and he could only compromise, "Alas, I can only marry Jiang Yueyue back first, and then make plans." ”

"Or..."King Xiao instantly remembered another person, this was the most important person Yan Xing had mentioned to him, "If you can marry Ning Xiang, maybe this matter is more convenient?" ”

"Ning Xiang is just a maid, and her son just wants to have fun, but he doesn't want to be real." Xiao Qian mentioned Ning Xiang, although he was full of interest, but compared with Jiang Yueyue, he still felt that he owed the fire, just a maid, and he would not be married to the media.

Who knew that King Xiao suddenly made up his mind: "You will go to propose marriage tomorrow and marry Ning Xiang as his wife." ”

"How is this possible?" Xiao Qian thought that King Xiao was already in a hurry, so he hurriedly refused, "Besides, she has already made a marriage." ”

"It's okay to get married, anyway, there are no official documents, why not if a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried?" King Xiao put his hands on Xiao Gan's shoulders, "If the information is accurate, if you marry her, I'm afraid that we can compete with the wealth of the Protector." ”

"What?" Xiao Gan's face was full of disbelief, "That's just a maid, how could it be... Could it be that someone else helped her? ”

Xiao Qian remembered that he had rescued the pair of master and servant in the forest fire, maybe since then, this Ning Xiang was no longer the Ning Xiang of the past.

The father and son discussed until late at night, and got up early the next morning to carry the new dowry to the governor's mansion.

Jiang Yueyue was already awake at this time, and when she learned of her mother's death, she sat at the head of the bed in a daze, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and Ning Xiang could only watch from the sidelines, waiting for Jiang Yueyue to come back to her senses.

Who knew that the porter outside hurriedly ran in, ignoring that the master and servant were in the same room, and suddenly hurriedly said: "Ning Xiang, Xiao Wangfu wants to marry you as the princess." ”

"What?" Ning Xiang was slightly stunned, "Where did this news come from?" ”

"It's King Xiao who personally brought someone to the door! At the moment, I am discussing with the lord in the flower hall! ”

"Nope! That's impossible! As soon as Jiang Yueyue heard this, where could she still take care of her mother, she jumped off the bed with a grunt, and ran out without wearing shoes.

Seeing this, Ning Xiang could only grit her teeth and chase after her.

I can't use light work in the yard, as soon as Ning Xiang went out with him, Jiang Yueyue had already disappeared.

Ning Xiang sighed, and the appointed person rushed to the flower hall, and heard the crying from afar.

took a closer look, but found that Xiao Qian was hugging Jiang Yueyue, pressing the person in his arms and comforting him, where does this look like a marriage has failed? It's clear that it's merciful everywhere.
