Chapter 12 This is my hairpin and necklace
Jiang Juan felt that she had come here, and her acting skills had improved a lot.
She pursed her lips, still shaking her head, "I don't know, it's just that there was a fire all of a sudden......"
Jiang Zongcheng couldn't ask why, and after thinking about it, he didn't think that Jiang Juan had any reason to do this.
asked Shen Yi again, "The rest of the people in the house, have you checked one by one?" ”
After all, if this fire is an accident, it is nothing.
If someone does it on purpose......
Jiang Zongcheng will never leave this kind of villain to live in the world.
At this moment, the housekeeper Li Bin hurriedly stepped forward to report, "Master, Jingyang Hou and Mrs. Jingyang Hou have arrived." ”
Hearing this announcement, Jiang Juan slightly hooked the corners of her lips.
It seems that the 'signal' she sent, the grandfather's family, received it.
As soon as he heard that it was someone from the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion who came, Jiang Zongcheng frowned and snorted coldly, "Let them in." ”
After a while, I saw an old man in a gray robe, in good spirits, and a graceful and dignified old woman, walking in side by side.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Zongcheng suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and bent down to salute expressionlessly, "I've seen my father-in-law, I've seen my mother-in-law." ”
Although he is now a first-class prince, his rank is above the Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
However, the Jingyang Marquis Mansion is a century-old family in the capital, and its status is deep, and Jiang Zongcheng has not yet reconciled with the Sheng family, so on the bright side, he still has to be respectful to Sheng Yuanqing.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please take a seat." Jiang Zongcheng vacated the main seat to the second elder.
Jiang Shi also stood up with interest and greeted Mrs. Sheng to her seat.
"Hurry up for tea!"
After Jingyang Hou Sheng Yuanqing and Mrs. Sheng took their seats, they looked around, and their eyes fell on Jiang Juan.
Jiang Juan immediately got up and bent down to salute, "I've seen my grandfather, I've seen my grandmother." ”
After confirming that Jiang Wan was safe, Sheng Yuan glanced at it lightly.
Jiang Yimo and Jiang Hao'an saluted the second elder first, "Meet Lord Jingyang Hou and Mrs. Jingyang Hou." ”
"Zong Cheng, I heard that there was a fire in the courtyard where Wan'er lived last night, what happened?" Sheng Yuanqing ignored Jiang Yimo and Jiang Haoan, and opened his mouth directly to Jiang Zongcheng.
In such a questioning tone, Jiang Zongcheng suppressed his temper and explained, "The specific reason is still being thoroughly investigated, but the doctor has already checked Jiang Juan, and his health is fine." ”
"It's a huge national mansion, and it's too slow to do things." Sheng Yuanqing picked up the teacup and gently blew the hot tea inside.
Inside the house, a strong sense of oppression hit.
Old Madam Sheng next to her glanced at the rest of the people sitting in the lobby lightly, and smiled, "Zong Cheng, a few days ago, I heard that Wan'er made some noise again, which bothered you again. ”
"What did my mother-in-law say, Jiang Juan is my daughter, so naturally I will bother." Jiang Zongcheng sat on the side, trying his best to suppress the impatience in his heart.
In recent years, the Guogong Mansion and the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, because Jiang Zongcheng tried his best to accept the Jiang family as a concubine, which caused the Sheng family to die and went out to repair, the two families almost tore their faces and had no contact.
Even when they met occasionally in the court, they all nodded to each other, and they didn't bother to say a word of greeting.
It's really rare to sit together now for the fire in Yutang Courtyard.
Old Madam Sheng was still smiling, but there was no warmth in her eyes, "It stands to reason that you are Wan'er's father, Wan'er has been ignorant all these years, you discipline her, these are all as they should be, and we also think that this girl should really be trained well." ”
"But this time ......"
Old Madam Sheng paused, her eyes swept over Jiang's body, and quickly moved away, "It's only been a few days since Wan'er was grounded by you, and Yutang Courtyard was burned clean, this fire is really strange." ”
"No matter what, although Jiang Juan's surname is Jiang, he has half of the blood of our Jingyang Marquis Mansion on his body."
How could Jiang Zongcheng not hear the meaning of Old Madam Sheng's words, and the whole person's attitude hardened, "What does Old Madam mean, I set the fire?" ”
"You're too careful." Sheng Yuanqing spoke out at the right time.
Jiang Zongcheng sneered, "What do those two mean by coming here today?" might as well spread it out and say, Jiang Moujie was born as a reckless man, and he couldn't understand the words of the two. ”
Sheng Yuanqing pointed to Jiang Juan, "Jiang Juan is my granddaughter, since the courtyard where she lives is burned down, let her go back to Sheng's house with me before you finish repairing it." ”
Seeing Sheng Yuanqing open her mouth to say this, Jiang Juan knew that this fire was exactly what she wanted.
Now that she is in a difficult situation in the Jiang family, and it is difficult to move an inch, she wants to use this fire to attract the people of the Sheng family.
Therefore, as soon as the people of the Sheng family arrived, she had to find a way to follow the people of the Sheng family to leave.
Unexpectedly, my grandfather was the first to open his mouth.
"I disagree!" Jiang Zongcheng vetoed it.
Sheng Yuanqing leaned back in his seat, leaning closer to Jiang Zongcheng, "I heard that because of the matter of the Northern King, the emperor has been dissatisfied with you a lot recently......
“……”
Jiang Zongcheng was silent for a while.
There is also a great reason why Sheng Yuanqing is over seventy years old and still has a stable position in the court, that is, when the emperor was still the prince, Sheng Yuanqing once saved the prince from the mouth of a white tiger in a hunt.
Now, whenever the emperor sees Sheng Yuanqing, he still mentions this matter back then.
Sheng Yuanqing is now moving out of the emperor, undoubtedly exchanging conditions with him.
"Then it will bother the mother-in-law."
In the end, it was Jiang Zongcheng who took a step back.
The matter on the North King's side is indeed tricky, and it would be better if Sheng Yuan Qingken came forward to settle it.
"Jiang Juan, let's go."
With Jiang Zongcheng's consent, the second elder of the Sheng family didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he got up and wanted to leave.
Jiang Juan nodded in response.
He saluted Jiang Zongcheng again.
Jiang Zongcheng suppressed his anger, glared at Jiang Juan fiercely, and said nothing.
Just as the three of them stepped out of the lobby, a few footsteps came, and I saw several guards in the house, dragging an old woman and throwing them into the lobby.
"Master, this morning Aunt Hui in the backyard found that this old woman was missing, so her subordinates sent someone to track her all the way, and she happened to be out of the city and caught her!"
Jiang Juan turned around and sighed in surprise, "Isn't this Mrs. Zhang?" ”
Sheng Yuanqing and Old Madam Sheng also looked back when they heard the voice.
Shen Yi in the lobby tore open the cloth ball that blocked Mrs. Zhang's mouth, Mrs. Zhang's face was full of panic, and she hurriedly begged for mercy, "The slave doesn't know anything, the slave is wronged!" ”
Seeing that it was this old woman, Jiang subconsciously looked at Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything.
Jiang's heart calmed down a little, and his tone was a little harsh, "You old woman, why did you sneak out of the house?" ”
"Master, Aunt Jiang, this is what was found on this old woman." Shen Yi presented the jewelry that Mrs. Zhang was carrying.
Jiang Juan looked at the jewelry and covered her mouth in surprise, "This, this is my hairpin and necklace, how can it be with you?" ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Jiang Juan.
