Chapter 258: The Housework of the Marquis of Boling's Mansion

Before the eldest princess could answer, Jian Xubai, who hadn't spoken since she came in, chuckled lightly and said casually: "Actually, although what my aunt just said is the Tao, there is a possibility that she didn't say it: that is, the thief shouts to catch the thief!" ”

He raised his hand to stop the acting princess who was about to get angry, "Please let my aunt say a word to me!" ”

"If you can't say that you're ugly, don't blame this palace for not giving your mother face!" The eldest princess looked at him coldly for a moment, and then said coldly, "Your mother has always been used to you, and this palace can't tolerate the presumptuous juniors!" ”

"Actually, this matter is very simple: even though Miss Jiang walked to Ji's cousin's house by herself, she definitely didn't go to see Ji's cousin." Jian Xubai just smiled at his aunt's threat, stroked the tea cup in his hand and said casually, "And if this matter is to be said to be the eldest cousin Ji's intentions, it may not be, because Miss Jiang has already entered the house at that time, I will say something unpleasant: Miss Jiang is a weak female streamer, can the eldest cousin Ji lock the door to keep her?" If you don't lock the door and pretend to be drunk directly, the eldest cousin can still tell the difference, so why bother to make everyone suspect that the eldest cousin calculated Miss Jiang? ”

When he said this, he half-narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "So these two are calculated!" ”

"It's obvious!" The Acting Eldest Princess sneered and said, "You have been verbose for so long, could it be that you have come to such a conclusion that such a fool can see?" ”

Jian said in a humble manner: "Auntie, don't be impatient, let me say slowly: since these two are calculated, then the people who calculate them will naturally find them from these two people who have offended first." The problem is that Cousin Ji often walks outside, and it is very easy to provoke villains, if he is the only one who is trapped, it is estimated that there are many possible candidates; And Miss Jiang has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and I heard my wife say that Miss Jiang is virtuous and elegant, and she is by no means a temperament that will easily grudge with others. ”

He said that Ji Mingfei often walks outside, so it is easy to provoke villains, of course, it is a euphemism to give Ji Mingfei face, in fact, Ji Mingfei's special hobby, there are basically no nobles in the imperial capital who have not been directly or indirectly offended by him. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest princess of the country and the Marquis of Fuyang were powerful enough, and because the Ji family had two male heirs in this generation, he and Ji Zifu were the two male heirs, and there was a way that scarcity is precious, even if this nephew has always been uncompetitive, he can't help but protect it, it is estimated that he would have been killed a long time ago!

Everyone knows this, and it will not be easily pierced on the scene.

However, Jian Xubai went on to say that Jiang Muyao's temperament should not have enemies, and when it comes to "today's guest of honor", it seems to mean something else.

Jiang Muyao's father, Jiang Yin, groaned slightly, and said with an ugly face: "What does Grandpa mean, those of us who are fathers and brothers have offended people outside, so that we have affected the daughters in the family?" ”

"Besides, I don't know how to explain that the person who came to Aunt He today did this, but it was Miss Jiang and Cousin Ji locked in the same room?" Jian Xubai was very satisfied with his cooperation, put the tea bowl back on the table, and looked at the acting princess of the country, "Aunt just said that no matter how accustomed the Jiang family is to its daughter, it is impossible for the Jiang family to take the future of the He clan for the marriage of a daughter-so you will not attack Miss Jiang in order to prevent them from falling to the crown prince, because this will not achieve the goal at all, but will annoy the Jiang family, right?" ”

The Acting Eldest Princess sneered and said, "You have been listening below, yes or no, do you still need to ask the palace?" ”

"In this way, aunt, you are innocent, so the most suspicious thing is, of course, the people who have offended Lord Jiang and Cousin Ji - whether there are any of these people, and how many, I don't know." Jian smiled and said, "The problem is that Miss Jiang was deceived into going to Ji's cousin's room in the name of Xue Pei, that is to say, the Lord made the others offend the three parties at once: is it your aunt's birthday, or your place, and your nephew and guests have an accident, how can you not hate the real murderer behind the scenes?" ”

"As for Lord Jiang's family, let alone such a good girl, even if Cousin Ji has never offended Miss Jiang, today's matter may not be able to get out, how can she not seek justice for Miss Jiang?"

"The third party is, of course, Xue Pei - now the prince relies on Xue Pei very much, which the court knows from top to bottom, offending Xue Pei, in a certain sense, it can also be said that it is offending the East Palace!"

He asked for a long time, "But I don't know, who has the courage to do this right now?!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the warm pavilion.

The court of this meeting is generally divided into four groups: a group of East Palace, a group of King Wei, a group of King Zhao, and the rest of the people, whether they are waiting, whether they want to remain neutral, or they are not qualified to participate, in short, they are all classified into the fourth group.

And there is an alliance between the two kings of Wei and Zhao - according to a simple and humble analysis, the main envoy offended all the people except the fourth group, but offended so many people, and the matter was just an unmarried lady and an unmarried wave. The boy is involved!

Who would do such a thankless job?

Jiang Yin was silent for a while, but then threw out the question: "Please also ask my grandfather for advice, who did this matter?!" ”

"Xue Pei planned to choose a wife a few days ago, Lord Jiang must have heard about it?" Hearing the words in vain, he did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Nature." Jiang Yin was slightly stunned, and then bowed his head - if he didn't know about this matter, how could he leave his daughter on Cuihua Mountain and let her go to see Yuan Xuepei?

"But the adults probably don't know, Xue Pei's move made the elders in the family very unhappy!" Jian Xubai said meaningfully, "As far as I know, Mrs. Tu and Grandma Liang, that is, Xue Pei's step-grandmother and aunt, have always hoped that Xue Pei can choose a wife from Grandma Liang's maiden niece, but Xue Pei politely refused this proposal!" ”

Jiang Yin's face changed slightly: "What does Grandpa mean, when the little girl went to look for the Marquis of Boling, she was misunderstood by Mrs. Tu?!" ”

He has never had anything to do with the Yuan family, but he has also heard of the situation in the imperial capital and the Marquis of Boling's Mansion: the current Marquis of Boling, Yuan Xuepei, and his stepgrandmother, Mrs. Tu, do not trust each other and are full of suspicions, which is not a secret. Otherwise, when Yuan Xuepei went to Wuhuan to gild, what did he do to send his sister to the Hengshan Palace?

According to reason, Yuan Xuecao should be raised in front of Mrs. Tu as a matter of course!

Just looking at Yuan Xuepei's move, it can be seen that he is no longer a matter of distrust of Mrs. Tu, but is full of vigilance.

What's more, less than half a year after he went on the expedition, he fell into the hands of Wu Huan, and the second room of the Yuan family, that is, the family of the old lady Tu's own son, immediately moved back to the Hou Mansion under the banner of comforting the old lady, as if the Hou Mansion was his own home - if it weren't for the fear of Hengshan Palace, and Yuan Xuepei was only captured, not dead, it is estimated that he would have to live directly in the main hall!

And after Yuan Xuepei came back, he drove out all the family in less than two months, not to mention, and then even excused "Grandmother has worked a lot for her unfilial grandson over the years, and now it is really not worth bothering", almost put Mrs. Tu under house arrest in the courtyard, not to mention meddling in the affairs of the house, that is, even if you want to meet your son and grandson, you have to see the face of your stepgrandchild!

"In fact, when Xue Pei came back, Mrs. Tu mentioned to him about marrying the Liang family." Jian Xubai said gently, "This is not strange - old Boling Marquis, I mean Xue Pei's grandfather continued the string, for fear of the original partner's son-in-law being wronged, so he deliberately chose the old lady Tu from a poor family." Even if the old Boling Marquis was thinking about his in-laws and supporting the Tu family, but the foundation was put aside, and the Tu family was just like that when the old Boling Marquis died. ”

In this case, "Xue Pei's second uncle has mediocre talents, and he is only the son of a stepfamily, so he is not qualified to attack the knight." The foreign family is not outstanding, and naturally it cannot be compared with Xue Pei's father when discussing relatives, so Xue Pei's aunt Grandma Liang is only the daughter of the Wupin official family. Since the Tu Liang family is busy, and for various reasons, they are estranged from Xue Pei, and seeing Xue Pei getting older, it is inevitable that they will think of turning hostility into jade silk through marriage! ”

- Jiang Yin doesn't look down on Yuan Xuepei as his son-in-law, but for Mrs. Tu and the Liang family, a hereditary marquis, even if it is a hereditary marquis with a dead leg, is worth getting it by any means they can!

So when Jiang Muyao met with Yuan Xuepei in private, how could she not be considered by them that she was blocking their road to wealth and prosperity? !

After all, Yuan Xuepei had such a bad relationship with these two elders, how could he tell them about his private affairs?

Taking a step back, even if he did, those two might not believe it.

If you take a step back, even if you believe it, you may not be able to rest assured - Jiang Muyao wants to be talented, talented, and has a family background, and she has a deep affection for Yuan Xuepei, just ask how many people in the world can resist such a temptation. Confuse?

Even if Yuan Xuepei refuses now, how long can he refuse?

Thinking of this, the Jiang family's face turned red and white, and they subconsciously looked at the housework of the Acting Princess, the Marquis of Boling, Jian Xubai and Yuan Xuepei had a good relationship, and it was not uncommon to know, and the Acting Princess, who was a political enemy with Jian and Yuan, also had a reason to inquire about one or two, right?

After all, Mrs. Tu and Grandma Liang are not from a big family, and the biggest ideal in this life is probably the Marquis of Boling's Mansion, even if you have that guts, where can you get the ability to do tricks on the birthday of the eldest princess? !

No wonder Jane said that this matter is a thief shouting to catch a thief!!

The acting princess saw all their thoughts in her eyes, her eyes became more and more cold, and she was about to speak, but she said simply: "Actually, please forgive me: the most important thing at the moment may not be to find out the truth, and to give Miss Jiang and Cousin Ji justice." Rather, how should today's events be rounded? ”

He said, "After all, it's not uncommon for Cousin Ji to run away from the table, but Miss Jiang disappeared in the middle of the birthday banquet today, and the female relatives seem to have been looking for a while?" Even I heard about it when I was waiting for my wife outside! ”

When the Jiang family heard this, their faces showed clear anger, but after glancing at each other, they bowed their heads: "That's exactly the case-anyway, the Tu family and the Liang family can't run, and we will have a return for today's events!" ”

"Wait!" But the acting princess refused to settle things like this, and said with a sneer, "Ah Xu, you have a good calculation, and in a few words, you deducted the charge on the head of this aunt in the palace, and now you are a good person?" If I don't make this matter clear, this palace won't stop!! ”
