Chapter Forty-Nine: Refusal to Add Makeup, Inexplicable Assassination
Jiang Ziyu was called back to Jiang's mansion by Mrs. Jiang early in the morning, saying that she was looking for her for something, and she didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, it seemed that she hadn't seen Jiang Yibai for a long time, so she planned to go back to see Jiang Yibai and see Mrs. Jiang by the way.
Mrs. Jiang had been waiting for her for a long time, and when she saw her coming, she changed her cold and strong attitude in the past, and took her to the backyard with some intimacy.
"King Rui came to the house to hire him, and set up a family affair in September." With a smile on Madame's face, Jiang Ziyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Fourth sister?" Hasn't the fourth sister already decided to be the second son of the Marquis of Changping? Why did you marry King Rui again? ”
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, a little reluctant to mention it: "Hey, don't mention it." The second son is not motivated, I am afraid that Xia Er will marry and suffer hardship, so I quit the family business. ”
Jiang Ziyu nodded, she didn't care about the second son of the Marquis of Changping at all, and responded with a faint expression: "I see." ”
Mrs. Jiang secretly rubbed her hands and was a little anxious, and she didn't know how to say something. Jiang Ziyu also saw that she had something to say, but she just didn't ask. After several stalemates, Mrs. Jiang still took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
"Actually, I called you back today because I wanted you to help with something." It was rare for Mrs. Jiang to have a good tone towards her, and it was not easy to look at her in the past.
"Madame, please speak." Jiang Ziyu sat in the chaise longue and sipped tea, and his expressionless face made Mrs. Jiang feel bottomless.
"You also know that we don't have any family background in our family, and it has cost a lot to do family affairs for you and your brothers and sisters, and now this Xia'er's family affairs must be, and this dowry can't be too shabby, so as not to make people look down on the Prime Minister's Mansion and you as a princess. So ...... "Mrs. Jiang is very difficult to open this mouth, but for Jiang Xia's dowry, she can only ask for it." The amount of dowry will depend on Xia'er's status in the Rui Wangfu in the future.
Jiang Ziyu snorted, which made her overjoyed, but Jiang Ziyu turned her head with a somewhat non-caring attitude: "It's good that the fourth sister is doing her best in the family, and you really don't have to empty the family in order to become a family to save face." ”
Mrs. Jiang frowned, her face instantly lost her smile, and she asked a little coldly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Madame can't hear me? Since the family is struggling, it is better to keep it simple, and if King Rui really wants to marry, how can he not help the fourth sister? Jiang Ziyu gently sipped the tea lid, and Mrs. Jiang's face was a little ugly stiff. She was really embarrassed to say some things, Xia Er took the initiative to cling to her, where would King Rui be a little sincere?
"You're not going to help your fourth sister?" Mrs. Jiang had already scolded her thousands of times in her heart, and Jiang Ziyu replied softly: "I can't help, marry my husband, I can't do these things myself." ”
Mrs. Jiang was a little anxious, thinking that this was just her excuse, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed her and said, "How can you not be the master?" The prince loves you so much, the forbidden palace has a big business, but it is not difficult for you to add a few boxes of dowry, I know that the family was not good to you in the past, but in the future I will treat you as my own daughter, and I also have my mother's family to rely on. ”
Jiang Ziyu sneered, the coldness in her eyes was no warmth, she just felt ridiculous.
"Madam, do you think that everyone in the world is stupid?" Jiang Ziyu looked at her straight, how did the Prime Minister's Mansion treat her in the original form clearly, treating her as her own daughter? This can also deceive the ghost, her eyes are like a torch and cold and affectionate, and she looks at Mrs. Jiang with a creepy look.
Jiang Ziyu retracted his gaze and put the teacup on the square table, and said lightly as usual: "The tea is cold, I will leave first." ”
She got up to leave, Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, and no one around her dared to force her to stay, Jiang Ziyu walked slowly, Mrs. Jiang looked at her distant back from the window, and a trace of hatred gradually rose in her eyes.
"This cheap girl has the same virtue as her mother."
Jiang Ziyu walked to the front yard and went straight to Jiang Yibai's residence, but Jiang Yibai was not at home, and there was no one in the yard, Jiang Ziyu looked at the closed door and had a trace of curiosity in his heart.
She picked the lock and entered the house, Jiang Yibai's residence was very simple, there were no superfluous furnishings, but the room was faintly filled with a smell of medicine.
Jiang Ziyu walked around the house and found unburned bloody rags in the stove.
Shout!
Suddenly there was a sound of a long sword cutting through the air behind him, and Jiang Ziyu dodged sideways and was about to use the heavenly silk with his backhand, when he found that Jiang Yibai had returned.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yibai put away the sword a little unexpectedly, and when he saw the lock picked in the courtyard, he thought it was a thief in the house, but he didn't expect it to be his sixth sister.
Jiang Ziyu shook the rags in his hand and asked, "Injured?" ”
"Well, you haven't said how you're in my yard." Jiang Yibai went to pour tea for her, Jiang Ziyu sat in the chair and sipped the tea with his legs crossed and said, "Madame called me to come back and come to see you by the way." ”
"Ming'er will give me a lock." Jiang Yibai didn't ask her why she picked the lock into his house, anyway, he didn't have any secrets to hide.
Jiang Ziyu responded, dragged his chin and said: "There is a medical hall in Xixiang Mansion that is opened by the He family brothers and sisters, if the second brother is injured, you can go there to take medicine, you don't have to sneak around in the mansion yourself, no one there will expose you." ”
Jiang Yibai raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise: "That medical hall is yours?" ”
"Sort of, but I thought the second brother was well-informed and knew about it a long time ago." Jiang Ziyu took another sip of tea, it stands to reason that this news should not be hidden from the second brother.
Jiang Yibai lowered his eyes and looked at his shoulder, and said without concealment: "I was not in the capital a few days ago, so I came back." ”
"No one has looked for you in the family since you left the capital? No, even if you don't care about it, a few people in the family should always know. Jiang Ziyu was a little strange how he managed to get the golden cicada out of its shell.
Jiang Yibai signaled outside, and a man with a similar figure to him walked in outside, Jiang Yibai explained: "When I was away, Bai Xiaoyi pretended to be me. ”
Jiang Ziyu nodded slightly at Bai Xiao, Jiang Yibai asked him to sit down together, and turned his head to look at his sister: "Mrs. Jiang didn't embarrass you when she called you back, right?" ”
"No, it's for Jiang Xia's marriage, and you want me to add some dowry, but I refused." When Jiang Ziyu first got married, the dowry was also very shabby, if it weren't for the fact that the forbidden palace wanted face and prepared it in advance, it would definitely be a shame.
"Jiang Xia is married?" Jiang Yibai was a little curious, and turned his head to look at Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao explained: "Two days ago, King Rui came to accept the fourth lady as a side concubine. ”
"Side concubine?" This time it was Jiang Ziyuman's turn to be puzzled, why didn't Mrs. Jiang talk about it just now?
Jiang Yibai is also smart, and immediately reacted to Jiang Ziyu's puzzlement: "It stands to reason that the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion is more than enough to be a wife, and even the queen is also worthy of it." Why is it a side concubine? ”
Jiang Ziyu frowned and pondered, and his thoughts turned several times before he slowly spoke: "King Rui is also worried about the Jiang family's bets. ”
"Do you want Jiang Xia to marry? Will it cause you any trouble? Jiang Yibai was a little worried about her and the forbidden king, Jiang Ziyu waved his hand and said, "No, I want to take this opportunity to force the Jiang family to stand in line." ”
Jiang Yibai also had some plans in his heart when he heard this, and lowered his eyes for a long time before he spoke: "I plan to leave the Jiang family." ”
"It would be good if the second brother could leave the Jiang family." Jiang Ziyu didn't expect him to have this idea, but it was not easy to do.
Jiang Yibai had already made a plan, and chuckled: "Sixth sister doesn't have to worry about me, I know how to do it to achieve my goal." ”
"Be careful, if you need my help, second brother, just go find me." Jiang Ziyu whispered, Jiang Yibai nodded, and said, "Don't worry." ”
Jiang Ziyu didn't stay long, and it was time for Nan Huaifeng to go down. Zipo took the carriage and the princess back to the palace, the originally stable carriage suddenly stopped, Jiang Ziyu frowned and looked outside, Zipo asked in a low voice: "Princess, Princess Yuna seems to have been chased and killed." ”
Jiang Ziyu was stunned for a moment, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, someone dared to kill Princess Heqin in broad daylight, and it seemed that they were not ordinary assassins.
"Go notify the nearby patrols." Jiang Ziyu explained and got out of the carriage to help Yuna.
Yuna herself knows how to do martial arts, but Da Chu's long skirt is too unaccustomed to her, so she can't show it.
It's just strange that Jiang Ziyu's Heavenly Silk only strangled the two people, and the rest of the assassins dispersed in a hurry, and the two people who were captured were also killed by the accomplices' hidden weapons.
"Princess, it turns out that you can also do martial arts, you are so powerful, they will all leave as soon as you come." Yuna looked at Jiang Ziyu in surprise with sweat, but Jiang Ziyu frowned and looked in the direction the assassin left in thought.
Why did they all run away as soon as they saw themselves?
Zipo hurried over with a patrol, Jiang Ziyu looked at them coldly, and said, "Why are there assassins in the capital who are still committing murders on the streets?" That's how you patrol the city and protect the people? ”
"The princess is angry, the princess is angry. This...... I don't know why there are assassins in my subordinates. A group of people knelt down and begged for mercy, they had long heard that this princess was cruel and ruthless, and she happened to be caught by her, and no one knew what to do.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at the uniform on the patrol, it was not Nan Huaifeng's forbidden army. She gave Zi Po a look with her eyes down, and Zi Po immediately comprehended and stepped forward and said, "Princess, it's better to appease Princess Yuna first, and these people will wait for the prince to come back and hand them over to him to deal with." ”
Jiang Ziyu nodded along with the words, Yuna was full of puzzled by what the situation was now, but she was smart and didn't speak easily when she didn't understand, for fear of causing trouble. Hearing Zipo say that he wanted the princess to comfort herself, she immediately covered her chest: "This princess is frightened and needs to rest." ”
"The princess will follow me back to the Forbidden Palace, and then ask the princess to return to the post station when the assassin is discovered." Jiang Ziyu categorically won't let Yuna live outside, since someone is already going to kill her, there must be some conspiracy.
"Well, the safety of this princess depends on the princess." Yuna was so pinched that Jiang Ziyu took her into the carriage, and after the carriage traveled some distance, Yuna laughed.
"How? I just pretended to be like it, did it help you? Yuna's expression was full of invitation, Jiang Ziyu felt that she was really a living treasure, and took out the usual snacks from Fang Ji and handed them to her: "Yes, the performance is very good." ”
Yuna happily ate snacks and drank tea, and couldn't help but sigh: "Da Chu's carriages are so magical, and there are snacks and tea." ”
"There are many magical places in Da Chu, take your time, you will also be a Da Chu person in the future." Jiang Ziyu has a good impression of her, and she is not so cold and hard when she speaks, Yuna can't notice the difference, and she is still smiling and eating snacks.
