21 Chapter 21

"I heard that my sister-in-law is not feeling well, so I came to see my sister-in-law. What happened to my sister-in-law's health? Lu Zhijin walked in, and Chong Jiang Daiyuan said with concern.

"Thank you Sister Jin for your concern, Sister Lao Jin has taken a trip." Jiang Daiyuan had a decent smile on her face, and tried her best to be casual.

Lu Zhijin's gaze fell on Jiang Daiyuan's chin, and suddenly approached Jiang Daiyuan, and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Who got it? ”

She deliberately asked Yuzhan to give her some more makeup powder today, not wanting to be seen by Lu Zhijin, Jiang Daiyuan pursed her lips and avoided Lu Zhijin's gaze.

Lu Zhijin saw Jiang Daiyuan's expression in her eyes, and gradually reacted, she hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, did the eldest brother bully you?" ”

Yesterday, Jiang Daiyuan also beat Lu Ningrong, so it could only be that Lu Yunzhen bullied Jiang Daiyuan.

Jiang Daiyuan was a little resistant to mentioning Lu Yunzhen now, but she never thought that Lu Zhijin's mind would be so delicate. She deliberately changed the topic and said, "Sister Jin just came out of her mother's yard?" ”

She only sent someone to inform Yin that she was not feeling well. She didn't specifically invite the doctor into the house, and it stands to reason that Lu Zhijin shouldn't have known about her physical discomfort so quickly.

"Well, when my sister-in-law's people went to my mother's yard, I happened to be there."

Lu Zhijin was obviously not so easy to fool, and after a pause, she turned the topic to Lu Yunzhen and said, "Why does the eldest brother bully the sister-in-law? Although the eldest brother seems to be a little unkind and does not speak well on weekdays, I know that the eldest brother is not a bad person and will not bully people. ”

Jiang Daiyuan lowered her eyes and listened to Lu Zhijin's words silently. After all, Lu Zhijin is Lu Yunzhen's sister and the person Lu Yunzhen cares about, and Lu Yunzhen's attitude towards her will naturally not be like her.

But she's different. In the eyes of others, she is a substitute for her cousin who is gone, and Lu Yunzhen retreats to ask for a second marriage.

Since she is an inferior substitute, how can Lu Yunzhen really care about her as a person? Before, she didn't recognize her identity.

Lu Zhijin somehow led the topic to Lu Ningrong, and she said: "Sister-in-law, I came here today in addition to caring about my sister-in-law's body. I also want to apologize to my sister-in-law for what happened to Sister Rong. ”

"I didn't expect Sister Rong to be so extreme, but because of Sister Xinying, she ...... to her sister-in-law"

"Before, Sister Rong said that she wanted to come with me to see my sister-in-law, I thought that I was a family, so I brought Sister Rong with me, but I didn't want to bring trouble to my sister-in-law."

Speaking of Lu Ningrong's matter, it has nothing to do with Lu Zhijin, Jiang Daiyuan naturally won't be angry with Lu Zhijin because of what Lu Ningrong did.

But Lu Zhijin still felt guilty about Jiang Daiyuan, and she said softly: "Sister Xinying is no longer there, but Sister Rong is still unwilling to accept her sister-in-law, could it be that Sister Rong still thinks that Sister Xinying will survive?" ”

The last sentence is naturally Lu Zhijin's joke. Jiang Xinying is dead, how can she be alive again?

Jiang Daiyuan deliberately avoided things related to Jiang Xinying, but she couldn't. In fact, when she decided to marry Lu Yunzhen, it was impossible to avoid the fact that Jiang Xinying almost married Lu Yunzhen.

If it weren't for Jiang Xinying's accident, she wouldn't have been able to marry Lu Yunzhen.

"Sister Rong and her cousin have such a good relationship, my cousin liked you very much, right?"

Jiang Daiyuan had a shallow smile on her face, she couldn't see anything wrong, and she seemed to be chatting with Lu Zhijin about family life.

Unlike her, Jiang Xinying can easily gain the love of others. When she was in Jiangfu, she was an unpleasant person.

"Hmm...... Sort of. Lu Zhijin finally realized that it was a little inappropriate to mention Jiang Xinying, who almost married Lu Yunzhen, in front of Jiang Daiyuan.

"Sister-in-law, as you know, the two families also intend to let Sister Xinying and the Duke of Wei have more dealings. Sister Rong and Sister Xinying and I have a lot of intersections......"

Jiang Daiyuan said: "Your eldest brother and cousin have had a lot of intersections in the past......"

Lu Zhijin paused, but still said truthfully: "Compared with sister-in-law, the eldest brother and Sister Xinying had more intersections in the past. Sister Xinying obtained two very precious peonies, and when she learned that her eldest brother also loved flowers, she specially gave her eldest brother a ......"

Jiang Daiyuan's eyes fell on the peony in the courtyard, and after treatment, the originally sick peony regained some vitality.

She remembered that when her cousin was still there, she never let her touch her peony. The cousin was willing to give one to Lu Yunzhen, it seems that the relationship between the cousin and Lu Yunzhen is really good, no wonder he was so angry when he learned that the peony was about to wither.

Lu Zhijin's voice sounded in Jiang Daiyuan's ears, and she said, "Sister-in-law, did my words annoy you?" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the matter of Sister Xinying in the past. ”

"It's better for you to tell my eldest brother how to bully you, I'll go and help you get justice from your eldest brother."

Speaking of the latter sentence, Lu Zhijin is obviously a little lacking in confidence. Although she is Lu Yunzhen's younger sister, the Yin family is often angry with him, and in the entire Wei Mansion, who is not afraid of Lu Yunzhen at all?

Jiang Daiyuan smiled at Lu Zhijin and said, "Thank you Sister Jin for your kindness, the matter between me and the prince is still Mo who involved Sister Jin." ”

Lu Zhijin felt that Jiang Daiyuan's attitude was a little strange, but Jiang Daiyuan repeatedly said that this was a matter between her and Lu Yunzhen, so she didn't say anything anymore.

……

After Lu Zhijin left, Jiang Daiyuan's barely mustered spirit was all unloaded. Yuzhan saw Jiang Daiyuan's eyes looking in the direction of the door with empty eyes, and said, "Mrs. Shizi, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Yuzhan thought of Jiang Daiyuan's miserable appearance when she was serving Jiang Daiyuan to get dressed today. She thought in her heart, could it be that Mrs. Shizi was tossed too hard by Shizi yesterday.

Jiang Daiyuan said: "Where is that sachet?" You can help burn it. ”

Yuzhan realized that it was the sachet that Jiang Daiyuan personally made for Lu Yunzhen, and she said: "The medicinal materials inside, the slave and maid have been lost." Why not ......"

Yuzhan knew how much effort Jiang Daiyuan had put into making this sachet, and she wanted to say why not keep that sachet?

Jiang Daiyuan shook his head and said, "Burn it." ”

Lu Yunzhen didn't need this sachet she made.

Now that the Yin family and others have known that the peony matter is related to Lu Ningrong, this sachet is useless.

Seeing Jiang Daiyuan's insistence, Yuzhan sighed helplessly and found the sachet.

Jiang Daiyuan watched the sachet that had cost her a lot of effort turn into ashes in front of her eyes, and closed her eyes.

"Yuzhan, close the door of the house, don't let the next person move those two peonies to the main house."

Jiang Daiyuan got up and said.

……

It wasn't a pleasant day. Afterwards, Jiang Daiyuan didn't see Lu Yunzhen for the next few days, and she and he seemed to have returned to the scene when she first married him. He didn't even want to be in the same room with her.

But this time, Jiang Daiyuan didn't care about where he went, and he didn't stupidly let the kitchen prepare all the dishes he loved to eat, thinking about waiting for him to come back and eat together.

She seems to have gotten used to marrying Lu Yunzhen, but she was snubbed and ignored by him.

That day, Jiang Daiyuan suddenly hit Lu Ningrong, but Yin and Lu Yunzhen did not choose to protect Lu Ningrong. The people present at that time thought that the Wei Mansion was going to change, and Jiang Daiyuan, the wife of the prince, was afraid that it would be difficult to provoke in the future, but I didn't want Jiang Daiyuan but Lu Yunzhen didn't like it.

Lu Yunzhen's actions fell in the eyes of others, that is, Lu Yunzhen still cared more about Lu Ningrong's sister, and was dissatisfied with Jiang Daiyuan's actions, and felt that Jiang Daiyuan's actions to beat Lu Ningrong that day were too rampant.

Jiang Daiyuan was lucky to marry Lu Yunzhen because her cousin was gone.

If Jiang Xinying is still there, where will it be Jiang Daiyuan's turn to be so rampant in the Wei State Mansion? It's ridiculous that Jiang Daiyuan can't recognize his identity.

What others thought of her, Jiang Daiyuan didn't pay attention. Jiang Daiyuan went to greet the Yin family every day according to the rules, and basically stayed in Songzhu Courtyard the rest of the time.

The peony left by Jiang Xinying completely regained her vitality, and she completely handed over the two peonies to Mama Kang to take care of, and no longer asked.

Woman's Tower

Zhong Yiyi motioned to the woman next to him to pour wine for Lu Yunzhen, looked at the look on Lu Yunzhen's face, and said with a smile: "What happened to let you rest in my mansion for so many days?" ”

Lu Yunzhen picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the wine glass.

Zhong Yiyi squinted curiously, and said with a smile: "You are still not ready to go home?" Aren't you afraid that your wife will find her again? ”

After speaking, Zhong Yiyi said with some doubts: "Speaking of which, this time you have lived in the palace for so many days, and your wife of the prince has not been found once, nor has he sent anyone to look for you. ”

Lu Yunzhen leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said, "Could it be that I still want her to find it?" ”

Zhong Yiyi looked disapproving, and said with a smile: "Where does a woman like her husband to live outside for many days?" You are not staying outside because of the affairs of the court, and if your wife cares about you, it is impossible for her to be indifferent to the fact that you have lived outside for many days. ”

Lu Yunzhen glanced at Zhong Yiyi lightly and said, "You mean, my lady doesn't care about me in her heart?" ”

Zhong Yiyi sneered and said, "How is it possible? You have forgotten that the last time your wife came here to look for you in person, it was the day after your wedding. ”

After speaking, Zhong Yiyi became more and more curious about why Jiang Daiyuan ignored Lu Yunzhen who was resting in the building this time.

Could it be that Lu Yunzhen lied to Jiang Daiyuan, saying that he had something to do in the court and needed to rest outside?

Zhong Yiyi said boldly: "If you stay with me and don't want to go home, it shouldn't have something to do with your Mrs. Shizi, right?" ”

After speaking, Zhong Yiyi met Lu Yunzhen's warning eyes. Zhong Yiyi sensibly did not continue this topic.

After a pause, Zhong Yiyi still couldn't hold back and said, "Regarding your Mrs. Shizi, why did you lie to me before?" ”

Lu Yunzhen frowned slightly and said, "When did I lie to you?" ”

Zhong Yiyi said: "It was the time when your wife came to look for you in the palace, and you lied to me that your wife was far inferior to her sister. If she hadn't happened to come to you that day, I would have been deceived by you. ”

Lu Yunzhen's fingers rubbed the pattern on the wine glass and said, "Did I say that she is not as good as her sister?" Didn't you say that Jiang Xinying is the first beauty in Beijing? ”

Zhong Yiyi recalled that Lu Yunzhen really didn't explicitly say that Jiang Daiyuan's appearance was not as good as his sister's words, which he understood based on Lu Yunzhen's reaction and words. It's just that......

Before Zhong Yiyi could say anything more, Lu Yunzhen's gaze suddenly fell on him, and he said, "Are you so interested in my Lady Shizi?" ”

Zhong Yiyi keenly sensed the danger, he smiled at Lu Yunzhen and said, "Isn't this curious about your affairs?" ”

Zhong Yiyi felt strange in his heart, not mentioning his relationship with him for many years, he couldn't have any other thoughts about his wife, and he didn't know his character. Besides, didn't he have no feelings for his Lady Shizi at all? He just said a few more things related to Jiang Daiyuan, why did he look a little displeased?

Zhong Yiyi thought of the last time Jiang Daiyuan came to the palace to find Lu Yunzhen. He went downstairs late that day, and what he saw was the scene of Jiang Daiyuan pitifully following Lu Yunzhen, Lu Yunzhen's back looked really ruthless at that time, and his friend couldn't stand it anymore.

It's just that after all, it was a matter between him and her husband and wife, and he didn't want to interfere, so he didn't step forward at that time.

How long has it been, and Lu Yunzhen actually left his wife in the Duke of Wei again. Lu Yunzhen is really not afraid that his wife will run away?

"Mrs. Zun has a docile temperament and is very compatible with you, I wish you and Mrs. Zun a long time, and the husband and wife will love each other in the future." Zhong Yiyi picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Lu Yunzhen.

If Jiang Daiyuan wasn't docile, he really couldn't think of the reason why Jiang Daiyuan could tolerate Lu Yunzhen so much.

Lu Yunzhen frowned. How did Zhong Yiyi's words not sound like good words to him.

Lu Yunzhen stared at Zhong Yiyi unhappily, and before he could say anything, the little servant he was accompanying walked in and said respectfully: "Shizi, the Duchess sent someone to spread the word, saying that the old lady has been in better health recently, and asked the prince to take the lady to the temple to see the old lady in three days." ”

Mrs. Lu's health is not very good, and she has been recuperating in the temple. After Jiang Daiyuan married Lu Yunzhen, she has not officially met Mrs. Lu.

The Yin family also specially sent someone to invite Jiang Daiyuan over and said that he would go to the temple to see Mrs. Lu.

After listening to Yin's words, Jiang Daiyuan hesitated and said, "Husband's side ......"

Yin knew Jiang Daiyuan's concerns, and said, "Yunzhen's side, I will send someone to talk to him." ”

Hearing Yin's words, Jiang Daiyuan didn't say anything anymore. If the Yin family asked her to find Lu Yunzhen like before, she was afraid that she would be humiliated by Lu Yunzhen again.

In fact, Lu Yunzhen has not returned home in the past few days, and the Yin family has also looked for Jiang Daiyuan and asked her to find Lu Yunzhen. Jiang Daiyuan didn't dare to disobey the Yin family's order, she naturally wouldn't go to Lu Yunzhen in person like before, she only pretended to let her subordinates look outside the mansion, and didn't even let her subordinates go to the women's mansion and other places where Lu Yunzhen often went.

The Yin family's people found the building, but unfortunately Lu Yunzhen ignored the people sent by the Yin family.

Yin looked at Jiang Daiyuan's low eyebrows, sighed, and said, "Is there something unpleasant between you and Yunzhen?" ”

As Lu Yunzhen's mother, she naturally hopes that Lu Yunzhen and Jiang Daiyuan will be loving and have a harmonious family.

Jiang Daiyuan thought of what happened when Lu Yunzhen left the house that day, and she had no intention of justifying anything, she said: "It's my fault, I don't like the son, and I annoyed the son." ”

As Lu Yunzhen's mother, the Yin family knows Lu Yunzhen's temper, so naturally he will not blame Jiang Daiyuan for all the fault. She said, "When Yunzhen comes back, you can talk to him well." You and Yunzhen have been together for a short time, and when you wait for a long time, Yunzhen will know that you are good. ”

Jiang Daiyuan once thought that after a long time, she would also be able to occupy a small place in Lu Yunzhen's heart. It's just that some things can be achieved without expectations.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to the temple to see Mrs. Lu. Yuzhan looked at Jiang Daiyuan's lotus-colored dress and said, "Is Mrs. Shizi's dress too plain today?" ”

Today is the first time Jiang Daiyuan has officially met Mrs. Lu as her granddaughter-in-law, and she doesn't want Jiang Daiyuan to leave a bad impression on Mrs. Lu.

Jiang Daiyuan is not only dressed in a plain dress today, but also does not wear any jewelry on her head, and the hosta carved with an orchid pattern is worn on the bun, which highlights her innate weakness more and more, which is pitiful.

Jiang Daiyuan said: "The temple is a holy place, and where did my grandmother recuperate, if I dress up too flamboyant and high-profile, it will not be good." ”

Yuzhan thinks about it, Mrs. Lu has lived in the temple for many days, if she sees Jiang Daiyuan dressed gorgeously today, I am afraid that she will think that Jiang Daiyuan is an arrogant person.

Yuzhan suddenly thought that compared with the bright and flamboyant Jiang Xinying, Jiang Daiyuan has always been low-key and introverted, and even makes people ignore her existence. But Jiang Daiyuan is obviously also a very dazzling and dazzling person.

When Jiang Daiyuan and Yuzhan arrived at the gate of the mansion, the carriage was ready. It's just that he hasn't seen Lu Yunzhen yet.

Lu Yunzhen hasn't returned home these days, and Yuzhan already feels sorry for Jiang Daiyuan in her heart. Thinking that Jiang Daiyuan had to endure the grievances and wait for Lu Yunzhen again, she said: "If the prince doesn't appear, do we have to wait forever?" ”

Jiang Daiyuan has not officially met Mrs. Lu yet, so she naturally wants Lu Yunzhen to accompany her to see Mrs. Lu today, but she is just ......

Jiang Daiyuan said: "Wait for another cup of tea, if the prince does not appear, you send someone to talk to your mother, and we will go." ”

Although Yin said that she would talk to Lu Yunzhen about today's events, Lu Yunzhen was unwilling, and no one could force him. It was useless for her to wait stupidly.

Seeing that the people from the Wei State Mansion were far away from her and Jiang Daiyuan, Yuzhan couldn't help but whisper: "If Mrs. Shizi had married Ye Gongzi at the beginning, she wouldn't have suffered so many grievances like now, and Ye Gongzi wouldn't have ......."

Before Yuzhan's words were finished, the sound of the servant's salute sounded.

"I've seen the ...... of the world"

It turned out to be Lu Yunzhen who appeared.
