When it was almost noon, Sanniang sent someone to Jiang's courtyard to ask where the lunch was.

When Xuan Shao was at home before, Sanniang and Xuan Shao both ate in Jiang's yard. It's just that since the old princess came back, Jiang and Sanniang have eaten separately. Every day, their respective maids went to the kitchen to get food and came back.

Soon Bai Zhi came to report that Jiang still let Sanniang eat by herself, she had no appetite at noon, and just wanted to drink some porridge and eat some light vegetarian dishes. Sanniang instructed Bai Zhi to take someone to the kitchen to get food.

In a blink of an eye, seeing Bai Lan standing aside looking at Bai Ying's embroidered upper, Sanniang's heart moved, and she called Bai Lan to her side.

"Young lady, what do you have to command?" Bai Lan bowed and said respectfully. Although she has not been in the house for a long time, she should have learned the rules before, and after a few days, even Mama Zhuang couldn't find her mistakes in etiquette.

Sanniang looked at her and muttered, "Do you know what happened when the prince of the county was demoted a few years ago?" ”

Bai Lan's face was calm when she heard this, and she nodded: "The slave knows." ”

"You know?" Sanniang was surprised, although she asked Bai Lan in the hope of knowing some news from her, even if she didn't know, she could send her to investigate, since Bai Lan was born in Eagle Guard, she naturally had her way, but she didn't expect Bai Lan to really know, and she took it for granted. Sanniang has a feeling that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all.

Seeing Sanniang's surprise, Bai Lan was also surprised: "The slave maid is an eagle guard, and she is a person next to the young master, so she naturally knows this kind of thing." ”

“……”

"Then tell me about it." Sanniang pointed to the place beside her and asked Bai Lan to sit down and talk.

Bai Lan sat down and thought about it. said directly: "Originally, this was not a glorious thing, and if others asked about the slave and maid, they would not mention it." There were also strict orders from above. But...... The son confessed that if the lady had anything she wanted to know, as long as the slave and maid knew, she would not hide it. ”

Sanniang didn't expect Xuan Shao to have such an order, so she was naturally happy in her heart, and she had a smile on her face. It's just that Bai Lan's words made Sanniang unable to laugh.

“…… At that time, it was rumored in Beijing that our son had died in southern Xinjiang and would never come back. Even the emperor ordered to go to Prince Zhuang's mansion to comfort the old princess and Mrs. Jiang. When Mrs. Jiang heard the bad news, she was overwhelmed with grief. I've been sick for a long time. One day after that, King Zhuang Jun, who was also Prince Zhuang at that time, went to Guan Ju Yuan while he was drinking......"

Speaking of which. Bai Lan's face was a little angry: "He actually wanted to do that bad thing to his wife!" ”

There was a crisp sound of "ding", Sanniang and Bai Lan turned their heads, and saw that the laughing copper scissors used to cut the thread in Bai Ying's hand fell to the ground, and Bai Ying picked up the scissors in a hurry. This kind of scandal is generally to block the news, and those who know about it will not end well.

Sanniang turned her gaze back to Bai Lan's face and motioned for her to continue.

Bai Lan stiffened her face: "I didn't want the princess of the county to bump into her, the princess of the county was angry and immediately entered the palace to tell the old princess who was talking to the queen mother about this matter." I want to ask the old princess to call the shots. I didn't want to let the Queen Mother know about it. The princess of the county saw that things were getting bigger. The queen mother and the old princess were furious, and they were also scared in their hearts, so they changed their words and said that they were the county kings seduced by their parents. ”

Sanniang frowned. No wonder Xuan Shao was so indifferent to King Zhuangjun's side, if this kind of thing happened, if it wasn't for the face of the royal family, it would have been appropriate to kill Xuanhuai's beast. And the princess of the county, knowing that the old princess was in the queen mother's palace, made a fuss, obviously wanting to make things bigger, and the Jiang family had no way out. She and Jiang are half-sisters, and it is really chilling to do such a wonderful job.

Sure enough, Bai Lan said: "The old princess was angry with Mrs. because of the death of the prince, saying that it was because of the lady that the prince was reprimanded and went to the frontier, and in the end she was never able to come back." And the Queen Mother has never been waiting to see Mrs., and when she heard this, she immediately said that she would give Mrs. death. The old princess was afraid that it would be difficult to clean up the matter if it was too big, so she said that she would go back and deal with it herself, and not let the people in the palace do it. The queen mother took care of the relationship between the old princess and the old princess, and allowed the old princess to go back to the house to deal with it. When the old princess was about to take her wife out of the house to dispose of it, Imperial Doctor Jiang, who was in the palace, didn't know where she learned about it, so she immediately went to see the emperor and begged the emperor to make decisions for the widow of the prince. While the emperor went to see the queen mother, he hurriedly sent someone to Prince Zhuang's mansion to stop the old princess from doing it. ”

"The emperor sent someone to call the two grandmothers and two maids who were waiting by the side of the lady to the palace for questioning, and asked someone to detain a small servant next to the king of the county, and learned the truth, it turned out that the king of Zhuang County was not as good as the beast, and saw that the lady had no son to rely on as a support, and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy our wife. The emperor was furious and wanted to send the prince out. ”

Bai Lan said this, with a coldness in her voice, so that all the coquettishness that she always unconsciously revealed was gone, and her coquettish face became cold: "It's a pity that the old princess got the news and went to ask the queen mother." How did the old princess persuade the queen mother that the emperor didn't know, and then I heard the news from Imperial Doctor Jiang, it seemed that the old prince, the prince and our young master were gone, and if there was anything wrong with the prince of the county, the line of Prince Li would wither. In addition, our young master's father, the prince died on the frontier to complete the task given to him by the emperor, and the old prince also fell ill because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and finally passed away. I don't want this to become the exoneration of the prince of the county. If the prince of the world knows about it in heaven, I don't know how to feel! ”

Sanniang was also angry in her heart, but she could only sigh, the king of the county and Xuan Shao's father were in the same vein, and they were of royal blood. Generally speaking, if it weren't for the fact that the prince had sacrificed for the imperial court, the emperor would always feel a little guilty about him, and Xuan Shao was also selling for the emperor in southern Xinjiang, and his life and death were uncertain. It is inevitable that the dead will not be blinded, and the living will be chilled, and the best way to kill Jiang is indeed given.

In the end, the emperor chose to keep the Jiang family and attack the king of Zhuang County, in fact, he was already thinking about the love between the late prince and Xuan Shao.

However, with the old princess here, she is also the emperor's elder, and the queen mother is on top, the emperor is really not good at what happened to King Zhuangjun, so he can only demote the knighthood. Even the reason for the demotion is ambiguous, and people outside only know that King Zhuang Jun was demoted because of his ineffective work and the emperor's dislike, but they don't know that it is because of this unsightly family ugliness.

Just now, Bai Lan mentioned the two grandmothers and two maids who were serving Jiang's side at that time, as well as the little maid next to the county king, but as far as Sanniang knows, there is only one Mama Zhou who is serving by Jiang's side now, that is, the one who came to collect Yuanpa on the second day of Sanniang's wedding last time, but this Mama Zhou is not close to Jiang, she was given to Jiang by the old princess a few years ago. And there were originally four big maids around the Jiang family, although there are four now, except for the purple kite and the colorful butterfly, which were brought up by the previous second-class maids, the few big maids who used to serve are gone.

Now that I think about it, I must have been wiped out.

No wonder Jiang is generally in his own yard and rarely goes out. She is in such an embarrassing situation, if she is still dangling around, I am afraid that the queen mother will feel even more uncomfortable.

It stands to reason that when this kind of thing happens, the two families can't live together. However, at that moment, the people in the capital were talking about the demotion of King Zhuangjun, and there were people who guessed how to guess. If the Jiang family moved out like this, it would be easy to think of the truth. The old princess didn't want Prince Zhuang's mansion to lose this person, so she pretended not to do anything and still let the people in the two rooms live together. Jiang's grievances can be imagined, but she can't have any complaints except patience. Just because the old princess is her mother-in-law, and she is a widow.

And in order to prevent the original incident from happening again, the old princess must have arranged a lot of people around the Jiang family. Before Xuan Shao didn't come back, Jiang's life must have been difficult. After Xuan Shao returned, Jiang's situation changed, but she no longer had the desire to contact the outside world. From the last time the Jiang family was able to go out of the house to see her during the Sun family's birthday banquet, this time the old princess came back, but she didn't receive any news to know.

Before Xuan Shao didn't come back, it was the old princess and the princess of the county who imprisoned Jiang, but after Xuan Shao came back, it was she who imprisoned Jiang.

Xuan Shao didn't know what he thought in his heart at the time, but this matter had been tacitly approved by the queen mother, the emperor, and the old princess before he came back, so what could he do? National law, patriarchal law, family law, none of the laws can be violated. Sanniang felt a little sorry for Xuan Shao, and she was also a little unhappy for Jiang's family.

But what she thinks is unfair, in the hearts of those people in power, she thinks it's a favor, right?

Even the emperor would feel that he had saved the Jiang family and sold Xuan Shao and the late prince of the world.

At this point, Sanniang had already understood, and Bai Lan didn't say anything more. Just listening to these words, when eating at noon, Sanniang was a little unate.

***

Mao'eryan Hutong, Wang Jing just came back from school, and before he had time to take a sip of hot tea when he took off his cloak outside, the little guy who managed to send and receive letters in the outer study sent a letter to Wang Jing.

In winter, the light in the house was a little dim, Wang Jing took the letter to the door and looked at it, and when he saw that the payment on the top was Yanzhou Mansion Zhao Mansion, Wang Jing grinned, and opened the letter without looking carefully.

Wang Jing was very happy to receive the confidence of Yanzhou Mansion at this time, because it meant that he could have an excuse to go to Zhuangjun Wangfu to see his sister-in-law. The brother and sister have grown up together since childhood, have been together for as long as they can remember, and have never been separated.

Now that Sanniang is married, Wang Jing is always unsteady, always worried that Sanniang is not used to eating in Zhuangjun Wangfu, not used to living in a house, whether the elders of her mother-in-law like her or not, and sometimes dreams that Sanniang is bullied by the evil woman of the county lord of Huilan, which scared him into a cold sweat.
