Chapter 468: concubine color
Chapter 468
When Shu Qiu ran past with the small scissors, he fearfully said, "Mother Liu went to the second girl's room and invited the third girl and the maid out."
Grandmother is not a great aunt, it is not easy to fool her. She must have noticed something strange and asked Mrs. Liu to come over to inquire. Jiang Liu took the scissors and told his stupid maid, "Go over and stare, don't let everyone lie at the window and eavesdrop on them. If your mama finds out, I can't save you."
Jiang Liu's head flashed the expression pack of a certain Zhuge Gerry Rong mama piercing people with needles, and she couldn't help shaking her small shoulders. Mama Rong was one of her childhood nightmares. Shu Qiu also shrank his shoulders and muttered in a low voice, "Mother Liu asked Sister Chunxiu to guard, we don't dare to go there."
When mentioned Chunxiu, Jiang Liu thought of Jingxiu who was imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion. She was originally the maidservant most valued by her grandmother, and she was one of the most important maids in the North Courtyard. Why was she betrayed by the Jiang family and wanted to kill them?
Jiang Ling stretched out his hand when he saw that his sister was holding the small scissors still. Jiang Liu held his brother's fingers and lowered his head to cut his brother's nails seriously.
Zhou Qiwen retreated from the side door of the lobby to the back office, and bowed his hands to Jiang Erye, "Master Zhao has finished his trial of Jingxiu."
"What did she say?" The mother repeatedly told Jiang Erye that he must find out why Jingxiu betrayed the master, so after learning that Zhao Demin was in the court today to interrogate Jingxiu and Meng Er, he came to inquire about the news in person.
The case cannot be disclosed until the case is closed, but Mr. Jiang is not an outsider. Zhou Qiwen stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Meng Er arrested Jingxiu's family and used her family's life to force her to lead Lingtang and Lingzheng to Hanshan Temple."
Lingzheng is Da Zhou's honorary title to his wife's wife.
"Thank you for letting me know. However," Jiang Erye told Zhou Qiwen about his doubts, "As far as I know, Jingxiu and her younger brother are half-sisters. After she was sold by her stepmother, she cut off contact with her family. She is looking for a reason, and there must be some hidden secrets in it."
Zhou Qiwen nodded and returned to the lobby. The sound of the execution of the sticks in the yamen, the chorus of the two classes of yamen, and the cries of the prisoners came from time to time, Jiang Erye was irritable, so he left Jiang Houer to guard, he turned and went to the inner courtyard.
About an hour later, Zhou Qiwen came over, and Jiang Erye found that the expression on his face was a little unspeakably subtle. Zhou Qi Wenyan said, "As expected, you guessed right, Jing Xiu did have another reason for backing the master. She..."
Zhou Qiwen seemed to be a little difficult to Qichen, and he coughed before continuing, "Meng Er promised that she would not hurt Lingtang, and would only help her get rid of Lingzheng. She... has long admired you, Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Erye was stunned for a while, then frowned.
Zhou Qiwen continued, "Although Meng Er tried to deceive Jing Xiu like this, what he negotiated with Rongri was to capture Lingtang and Lingzheng and use them as hostages in exchange for the safety of the Meng family. After Rongri was captured by the sixth girl, Meng Er immediately changed his mind and incited the believers to set fire to the small courtyard. He wanted to silence Rong Ri and everyone in your house. Fortunately, Miss Jiang Liu accepted your wit and sensitivity, and saw through Meng Er's trick."
Jiang Erye raised his brows and replied, "How talented she is as a little girl, but she just happened to bump into it. The real brave and resourceful one is the master Wu in my house. When you sort out the closing documents, Mr. Write, don't mention her."
"Yes, the adults are rigorous and truth-seeking, and they have been taught in a humble position." Although Zhou Qiwen did not know why, but Lord Jiang did not want Jiang Liu girl's name to appear on the closing documents, it would not appear.
Asked and understood about Jingxiu. Before Jiang Erye could return to the Xicheng Yamen, the Minister of Rites sent someone to invite him. Jiang Erye went to the Rites and discussed with the two adults, Tao Sizheng and Gu Yingxian, on April 20. The specific process of the peony banquet. Jiang Song learned that the second brother came to the Ministry of Rites and waited for him to return to the house in the evening.
On the way, after listening to the second brother tell about the reason why Jing Xiu betrayed the master, Jiang Song shook his head and said, "In recent years, my mother mentioned several times that she would send Jing Xiu to the west courtyard to serve you, so she gave birth to something she shouldn't have. Mind, it almost caused a catastrophe."
Jiang Erye nodded, not knowing what to say for a while.
Jiang Song patted his second brother on the shoulder, and taught earnestly, "Although concubines are happy, you can't choose the ones that are too scheming and sharp, or you will definitely cause trouble in the courtyard."
Big brother likes brainless women, as does sister-in-law and his two concubines. But Jiang Erye didn't dare to say this out of his mouth, he was afraid of being beaten.
The two brothers returned to the mansion, and first went to the north courtyard to see their mother. When they entered the hospital, they saw several people kneeling in the courtyard, and both brothers were stunned.
As soon as the two brothers entered the hospital, Aunt Zhang, who was kneeling in the courtyard, immediately cast a look of help to Jiang Song. Seeing that most of the people kneeling in the courtyard were people from my own courtyard. In the house, I saw Erlang and Er girl kneeling on the ground, as well as his wife, Dalang and Saburo standing next to his mother. Then he thought of what he taught his second brother on the way back to the house, Jiang Song felt a little unable to hang on his face.
Chen's eyes were a little excited when she saw her husband, but she had just been scolded by her mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to speak at this time, she just raised her hand and saluted. Several children in the house also saluted. Madam Jiang's face sank severely.
Jiang Erye has a good eye, and after following the elder brother to salute his mother, he withdrew, not to interfere with the affairs of the elder brother's courtyard. When he returned to the west courtyard, Jiang Erye asked his wife, "What happened?"
Yazheng told the whole story one by one, and then said, "Mother is angry because Zhenger and Erlang lied to protect their aunt, and also accused Sanlang of the crime. The second master said that Zhenger also knelt on his knees. On the ground?"
Jiang Erye nodded.
"Her injury is going to get worse now." Ya Zheng felt a little distressed for Jiang Muzheng.
Erlang and Ergirl are both good children, but there is an aunt who doesn't know anything. Jiang Erye was inconvenienced to say more, he just said, "Since Zheng'er has been moved here to recover, you will send someone to ask Langzhong to come over and show her tomorrow, so that the kitchen can also pay attention to her diet."
In the north courtyard, Jiang Song's face became even more ugly after listening to Mrs. Liu's story. He suppressed his anger and said, "It's my incompetence, which has made my mother tired."
Mrs. Jiang was really angry, "Zhang Ying'e can't stay any longer."
"I understand."
"Erlang learned the vicious heart of his aunt at a young age, and even put the charge on Sanlang!" Mrs. Jiang said in a very serious tone.
Jiang Saburo took a small step forward, "Grandmother, second brother, he didn't..."
Mrs. Jiang glared, Jiang Saburo was too frightened to say a word, and retreated again.
Jiang Erlang knelt on the ground and lowered his head forcefully. Concubine Zhang, who was kneeling in the courtyard, climbed a few steps on her knees, and begged bitterly, "Old madam, uncle, all the mistakes are the fault of the slaves and slaves. It's all the slaves who harmed the second girl, please punish the slaves and slaves alone, please forgive me. Second young master and second girl."
Madam Jiang glanced, and a woman stepped forward to block Aunt Zhang's mouth.
In the house, Jiang Dalang lifted his robe and knelt beside his second brother, "It's the grandson who punished Saburo, and it has nothing to do with the second brother. Please grandmother punish the grandson."
Jiang Saburo also quickly knelt down beside his eldest brother, "My son is wrong, please grandmother don't punish the eldest brother and the second brother, but punish the grandson."
