Chapter 61: Jiang Yuan Returns
"Inevitably, everyone is rumored to be false, and this princess thinks it's better to explain it clearly. The lord said he saw me in the morning, but he didn't want to say that I knelt all night. Perhaps, she was really entangled in affairs and didn't know it. Jiang Yuhuan glanced at the county lord of Zhaohua meaningfully, "I have a younger sister who stayed with me all night, but I don't want to disturb her rest, and I don't want to pull her into the water, and everyone speculates that I am looking for someone to make a false testimony and make a show." Now, I'm going to prove it to you. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Yuhuan swung his knife and swept it towards his knee.
Gu Chen's short knife blew off his hair, and with a slight wave, he cut his clothes.
Jiang Yuhuan stuffed the knife into Gu Chen's arms, stretched out his hand to pull the crack open, and the bruises on his knees were displayed in front of him.
If I hadn't kneeled all night, my knees wouldn't have looked like this.
Although Mrs. Zhen is very arrogant, she also knows that men and women are guarded.
It is not only the wives of the families who come to mourn, but also the men.
She stepped forward with her back to Jiang Yuhuan, using her body to block the exposed skin.
"Everyone has seen that it is not a fraud for the princess of the county to be injured like this. Everyone is here to mourn, not to find fault. The princess of the county is married to a wife, and it is not her turn to wake the spirit. What's more, everyone is not the elder of the princess of the county, and they are not qualified to judge. Out of this door, if I hear the slander against the princess of the county, I will explain them one by one and tell them everything that happened in the mourning hall today! ”
What these people did, if Jiang Yuhuan really did something wrong, it was the teaching of the elders to avoid the younger generations from going astray. And Jiang Yuhuan not only did nothing wrong, but also had a commendable filial piety, so they were nosy and gossip, and it was not good to say it.
Mrs. Zhen's words shocked others, and they apologized again and again, promising not to talk nonsense, but their eyes drifted to Lord Zhaohua from time to time.
People with quick brains have already turned the corner.
Mrs. Li is the aunt of the county lord of Zhaohua, and they were also instigated by Mrs. Li to go to the backyard.
Now that I think about it, they are just here to mourn, Jiang Yuhuan understands what it has to do with them.
Moreover, Jiang Yuhuan is already married, and she really doesn't need her to guard the spirit.
They were all taken advantage of.
As soon as Wen Sihou died, the lord of Zhaohua tried in vain to discredit his stepdaughter's reputation for the title.
The stepson is in Jinzhou again and can't come back for the time being.
If Jiang Yuhuan didn't clarify today, let the rumors spread.
Whether this title can be Jiang Yuan's turn is really uncertain.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhen. I'll go back and change my clothes first, and then I'll see you off. ”
Jiang Yuhuan was helped out of the mourning hall by Zhongyuan.
Fu Ying Yan followed aside, glanced at everyone coldly, and said softly: "Why do you need to explain." If you are not in good health, who can put your beak when you rest. ”
Jiang Yuhuan listened to Fu Last's words, and strangely felt that Fu Lasty was handing her a message, so that she could give the Lord of Zhaohua eye medicine.
The opportunity is handed in front of you, how can there be any reason to let it go.
She slowed her pace, and a soft voice drifted into everyone's ears.
"The county lord speaks in three points, if I don't make it clearer, it's okay if I am wronged, don't make trouble for Jiang Yuan. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan was sent to Jinzhou at the age of five, and no one knew that he had a crazy sister. Now that I'm back for the funeral, if it's because I've been pointed at, then I'm really sorry. As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, paused, and turned her head to look at the county lord of Zhaohua, "By the way, has the county lord sent someone to inform my brother?" If the county lord is busy with affairs and can't take care of it, I will ask the county prince to send someone to pick him up. ”
The county lord of Zhaohua tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "It has been notified." ”
"Then thank you, Lord Shire."
Jiang Yuhuan turned his head, and the corners of his mouth provoked a smug arc.
With so many people watching, if Jiang Yuan encounters any danger on the way back, everyone will think of Lord Zhaohua as soon as possible.
The county lord of Zhaohua made a move, and she took it.
It's not too much for her to return a salute or two.
After Jiang Yuhuan left, everyone was no longer as enthusiastic about the county lord of Zhaohua and Jiang Sheng's brothers and sisters as before, and just politely expressed a few words of condolence.
The county lord of Zhaohua hated Jiang Yuhuan.
Originally, everything could be pushed on Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li made her own opinion, and when she heard Jiang Yuhuan sleeping, she thought that Jiang Yuhuan didn't know etiquette.
But Jiang Yu Huan said in a swaying manner, she said that she was hiding three points.
Oh, hide three points......
It was clear that she was telling everyone that she deliberately concealed the fact that she knelt all night.
If Jiang Yuhuan didn't say it, she could still pretend to be innocent.
But Jiang Yuhuan said it bluntly, but she was not easy to explain.
The more it is explained, the more it looks like a cover-up.
She is not a person of many words, and she pretentiously said that she couldn't do what she was misunderstood by Jiang Yuhuan.
I can't say what I have to say, so I can only suffer a dumb loss.
She simply cooled to the end, and she didn't pretend to face anyone.
After Jiang Yuhuan changed his clothes, he came out to greet the condolences guests.
She was dressed in filial piety clothes, with bandages wrapped around her forehead and arms, and there was no trace of blood on her face.
But it is her resolute appearance that makes people suddenly change their comments on her and are full of praise.
said that her filial piety is commendable, and she touches the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, Jiang Xiangxiang appeared in front of everyone in embarrassment.
Noticing everyone's gaze, she shrank behind Jiang Yuhuan.
Jiang Yuhuan stood aside and exposed her.
"Why don't you sleep more?"
Jiang Xiangxiang tugged at his fingers crampedly, "I'...... I heard that the eldest sister was misunderstood for not having a wake, so she came out to explain. ”
Jiang Yuhuan smiled with relief and touched Jiang Xiangxiang's head, "I've already explained, it's okay, go back to sleep." ”
Jiang Xiangxiang shook his head, "I'm with my big sister." ”
"Princess of the county, this is ......"
Mrs. Zhen hadn't left yet, she said that Zhen Shangshu was also coming, and she was going to go back together after he came.
"This is my sister, the third in the family, who stayed with me last night until morning. I don't know who told her what happened, and she was so anxious that she ran out to testify for me. ”
Mrs. Zhen is a second-grade lady, and there are not a few banquets she has attended, so she can naturally hear that Jiang Yuhuan intends to promote Jiang Xiangxiang and help: "She is a good girl." Looking at the blue and black under these eyes, I think you should hurry back and rest. ”
"The third lady is really filial. When funerals are held at the house, it is usually the children who take turns to keep the spirits. You and the princess of the county have never rested all night, and your filial piety touches the heavens and the earth. ”
"Not really. I heard that my sister was misunderstood, so I hurriedly came out to testify, and she was pure-hearted. ”
"My daughter is so filial, Master Hou will definitely feel gratified in the spirit of heaven."
Everyone praised one after another, Jiang Xiangxiang was stunned and didn't know how to react, or Jiang Yuhuan bumped into her, and she moved her lips, "The ladies praised falsely, I just did what I had to do." ”
The ladies nodded their heads in appreciation.
Jiang Xiangxiang didn't know why, Jiang Yuhuan raised his eyebrows quietly.
It's not in vain that she deliberately asked people to wake up Jiang Xiangxiang.
No matter who inherits the title, Jiang Xiangxiang's future marriages will be in charge of Zhaohua County.
According to the temperament of the county lord of Zhaohua, it is estimated that he will not be concerned.
If Jiang Qiao is still there, Jiang Xiangxiang's marriage will not be taken care of.
She thought that if she could help, she would help, keep filial piety for three years, and not be able to attend the banquet, who would remember who Jiang Xiangxiang was after three years.
Now that the opportunity is in front of you, you can brush your sense of existence and good feeling as much as possible.
Although some of these ladies wanted to make up for their previous mistakes, they finally made them pay attention to Jiang Xiangxiang.
In the future, if Jiang Xiangxiang meets the man he likes, he can also have an impressive thing when he says goodbye to help the other party see Jiang Xiangxiang's goodness.
After Jiang Yuhuan and Jiang Xiangxiang appeared, the people who came to mourn would come to say a few words to them.
And Jiang Sheng and Jiang Qiaoer, who had been kneeling, were ignored.
Jiang Qiao'er lowered her head and burned the paper, but the firelight was printed on her face, but there was a cold atmosphere.
Jiang Sheng poked her with his elbow, his eyes swept slightly, and he saw Jiang Qiao'er's expression instantly converge, her eyelids blinked rapidly, and she was already in tears when she raised her head.
She knelt to the side, stubbornly tilted her head back, stared at the coffin, and let the tears slip silently.
The people who came to mourn saw her appearance and stepped forward to comfort her.
Jiang Yuhuan saw everything in his eyes.
She didn't want to steal the limelight with Jiang Qiao'er in this kind of thing, and she was indifferent from beginning to end.
It's okay to say she's cold-blooded, or it's okay to say she's san.
She will do what she should do, but she really can't cry when she really cries.
She only felt heavy inside, breathless.
"The fourth sister must be very sad. When her father was alive, she was always by his side. ”
Listening to Jiang Xiangxiang's sigh, Jiang Yuhuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This stupid sister can't see that Jiang Qiao'er is pretending at all.
The day before Wen Sihou's burial, Sanqi finally arrived with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuhuan expected, either the alienation in Jiang Xiangxiang's mouth, or simply cold.
It's cold to everyone, and it's the same to her sister.
followed Jiang Yuan back, and there was also a servant girl, no, to be exact, an aunt named Lily of the Valley.
"Little Miss, are you really good?" Lily of the valley looked at Jiang Yuhuan with teary eyes, wanting to get close but not daring to get close.
"Hmm."
Lily of the valley wiped her tears, "Great! Miss Izumishita will be happy! ”
"You're my mother's maidservant?"
"Yes. Back then, the Hou Ye wanted to send the little master away, and the slave had no choice but to follow him to Jinzhou. The slave is really ...... I'm sorry Miss, I'm even more sorry Miss......"
Jiang Yuhuan listened to Lily of the Valley's story, and then realized that Luo Huizhi had four personal maidservants. It's just that during the time when Luo Huizhi was lingering on the sickbed, he was ordered by Luo Huizhi to go out to do errands.
But he never came back.
Lily of the valley didn't know where they had gone, or what had happened.
I only know that Luo Huizhi did not die in childbirth, but because of a bowl of medicine from the British Gong, she almost died, and she insisted on giving birth to Jiang Yuan by relying on the life-saving medicine that healed the madman.
She received Luo Huizhi's entrustment and asked her to protect Jiang Yuhuan and Jiang Yuan.
Not long after, Jiang Yuhuan went crazy, Jiang Yuan had just been born and was weak. Lily of the valley also tried to live in Jiang Yuhuan's yard, and took care of Jiang Yuan with her.
But Jiang Yuhuan went crazy and almost threw Jiang Yuan to the ground several times.
She focused on Jiang Yuan until Jiang Yuan was five years old, and Jiang Qiao said that she would send Jiang Yuan to Jinzhou to study.
The people of Lily of the Valley spoke softly, and tried to no avail, unable to let go of the crazy Jiang Yuhuan in their hearts, and even more worried about the young Jiang Yuan, and finally accompanied Jiang Yuan to study with Jiang Qiao's disappointment and guilt towards Jiang Yuhuan under the assurance that Jiang Qiao would not hurt Jiang Yuhuan.
Later, Jiang Yuan gradually grew up, and his ideas became more and more correct.
Lily of the valley is a soft-eared person and loyal to the Lord, and under Jiang Yuan's questioning, she told the truth about Luo Huizhi's death and the situation in the Hou Mansion.
At that time, Jiang Yuan was only seven years old.
Since then, Jiang Yuan has been cold to everyone when he returns to Beijing on vacation, and Jiang Qiao is no exception.
Jiang Yuhuan didn't expect Luo Huizhi to die at the hands of her father.
But after thinking about it, she already knew everything about what the Queen Mother did at that time, how could she be easily killed by the Queen Mother.
How painful it must be to be hurt by the most trusted father!
But she actually hid it, except for Lily of the Valley, she didn't let anyone know, and even Jiang Qiao always thought that it was the queen mother's hand.
Jiang Yuhuan noticed the disgust in Jiang Yuan's eyes when Lily of the Valley mentioned Jiang Qiao.
sighed silently and told him about his assassination and everything Jiang Qiao had done over the years.
But Jiang Yuan's reaction surprised her.
