Chapter 1165 Two white lotus flowers
Everyone went out early in the morning, bought a large carload of things, and returned to Jiangfu for dinner near noon.
After dinner, when Jiang Liu and her sister returned to the cross-courtyard for a lunch break, Jiang Muyan whispered, "On the way to Caiyi Lane today, I saw Liu Cheng's wife eating tea at the restaurant at the end of Wan'er Lane, so I sent someone to inquire. After a while, I found out that the person who was having tea with her was Liu Xi. Guess what Mrs. Liu did to Liu Xi?"
Jiang Liu lay on the bed, stretched hard, "I want money."
Jiang Muyan covered her sister with a quilt and smiled, "In addition to asking for money, there is one more thing: Mrs. Liu wants to get back a house that Liu Cheng gave to Liu Xi during his lifetime."
In May last year, Liu Cheng was arrested for being involved in the Qin Tianye case, and he was executed after the fall of last year. Because of his grandfather's merit in saving the late emperor, Emperor Jinghe did not change his father Liu Jiyi's title of Jianghou. But it's just that the title has not been moved. Now Liu Ji has lost his official position and is huddled in the mansion. Liu Ji's second brother also lost Yu Linwei's errand because of his greed for ink, and he could only save his life by dispersing his family wealth. The mansion and title of the Marquis of Yijiang were all gone when Liu Ji breathed his last breath. Afraid of being implicated, the Liu clan has dispersed to find another way out.
Liu Cheng's family had long since been kicked out of Yijiang Hou's mansion. After being arrested, all their wealth was confiscated. Liu Ruyan had to return to her parents' home with a pair of children. However, Liu Ruyan's father also lost his official position because of Liu Cheng's implication, and their mother and son had a hard time in Liu's family, which led to Liu Cheng's idea of leaving Liu Xi's house.
Jiang Liu asked, "What did Mrs. Liu use to threaten Liu Xi, her background?"
Liu Xi is the concubine of Liu Cheng, and not many people know about it.
Jiang Muyan nodded and said in a low voice, "In addition to his background, Liu Xi also hides from Kang Guangchang and has an affair with others."
In June of the ninth year of Jinglong, Liu Xi pretended to be Jiang Muyan when he was at the Dou Le party by the release of the lake in West Kang'an City, and tried to force Liu Juntang to marry her. Liu Juntang saw through her tricks, and Liu Xi was ruined. Liu Cheng nominally sent Liu Xi to the family temple, but in fact he sent her to Kang Guangtan, the youngest son of Duke Huguo, to be the outer chamber.
Liu Xi has a good appearance and is very good at coaxing men. Although Kang Guangchang didn't take her into the house, he treated her well. After Liu Cheng was killed, Kang Guangtan changed places for Liu Xi and hid deeper.
Jiang Liu asked curiously, "Who is Liu Xi having an affair with?"
Jiang Muyan picked up the curtain of the bed and looked out, only to get close to her sister's ear, and whispered, "It's a sixth-rank lieutenant of Lin Weizhong Zuoyu, whose name is Zhou Rui, a son of a former friend of Uncle Liu Cheng, who has been in love with him since he was a child. Liu Xi."
Jiang Liu's eyes widened in surprise, "Zhou Rui doesn't know that Liu Xi is Kang Guangchang's outer room?"
Jiang Muyan shook her head gently, "I don't know about that."
"It's amazing that my elder sister can know this." Jiang Liu and elder sister squeezed under a quilt and sighed, two white lotus flowers gathered together, it was lively.
Jiang Muyan said worriedly, "Mrs. Liu looks at her father today like a lunatic. I'm afraid that when she is at the end of her life, she will come to ask her father."
Jiang Liu understood, "I wake up later, let's talk to Brother Monkey and let him beware of Liu Ruyan."
My father was already a courtier of the third rank, and every time he went out, there were no less than 30 guards who protected him secretly and openly, in case someone would assassinate him. But Jiang Muyan was still not at ease. "Being guarded is not the solution. This hidden danger has to be completely solved. I want to mention it to my mother to see if she has any solution once and for all."
Sister has grown very fast in the past three years. Jiang Liu was very relieved, "I think it's feasible, if Liu Ruyan really dares to focus on Daddy, it's more suitable for mother to take action than us."
Jiang Muyan felt at ease when she heard what her sister said, "Liu Cheng's children have reached the age of starting a family, and if Mrs. Liu does something out of the ordinary, it will affect the marriage of the children. As long as she still cares about her children, she should not do anything out of the ordinary. thing."
Jiang Liu nodded, "I hope she remembers."
After talking about Liu Ruyan, Jiang Muyan bit her lip and asked shyly, "Daddy was upstairs, what did he say?"
"Sister wanted to ask what daddy said to brother-in-law?" Jiang Liu smiled, "Brother-in-law said he had no coat to wear, and daddy patiently chose five for him."
This fool... Jiang Muyan pulled up the quilt and covered her blushing face.
Jiang Liu also closed his eyes. In the Yunshang Silk and Satin Village, when Dad chose a robe for the third brother-in-law, he also chose a few pieces for Jiang Ling. He also asked Jiang Ling to choose the jade pendant, belt and hat to match the robe.
At that time, Jiang Liu suddenly wanted to cry because he missed him. For more than three months, Jiang Liu first realized what it's like to feel distressed when thinking of someone alone.
More than 3,000 miles, thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains, we meet again after three years, nearly 1,000 days and nights... Jiang Liu shook his peach petal-like lower lip, and tucked his head into the quilt.
After waking up, Jiang Muyan went to the main room to talk to her mother about Liu Ruyan and Liu Xi. Jiang stayed in the boudoir to sort out the clothes and letters to be given to Jiang Ling, and then called Qin Qing and asked her to hand over the burden to the messenger. Then Jiang Liu strolled to the main courtyard. I saw that my mother was talking to my sister about Liu Ruyan and Liu Xi.
"Liu Cheng's son Liu Shen is 18 years old this year, and his daughter Liu Lan is 14 years old. They are not engaged. Mrs. Liu wants to get back the yard that Liu Cheng gave to Liu Xi to tell her son." Today, not only Jiang Muyan saw After seeing Liu Ruyan, Yazheng also saw it, she has been following Liu Ruyan's whereabouts, so she knows more than the two daughters, "Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law was originally a deputy envoy for patrolling the streets of Dongcheng Bingma Division. The concubine of the family. After your father was promoted to Jingzhao Yin, the woman's family refused to marry his daughter."
The grievances between Jiang Erye and Liu Cheng are known to everyone in Kang'an City. Jiang Erye was promoted to the position of Jingzhao Yin, and his subordinate 50% of the soldiers and the horse division's deputy envoy, how could he dare to marry the son of Jiang Erye's mortal enemy.
Jiang Muyan asked curiously, "How could that family be willing to marry their concubine to Liu Shen?"
Yazheng asked Jiang Liu to sit beside her and helped her straighten the peach hairpin on her head, "Because Liu Shen returned to Yijianghou's mansion and asked his grandmother Mrs. Yijianghou for a lot of money."
Jiang Liu understood, "So the deputy envoy sold the concubine to Liu Shen for money?"
Ya Zheng smiled and nodded, "It was made by the deputy envoy's wife. His family has a daughter who is already engaged to be married and needs to save a dowry."
Jiang Muyan understood, "After this marriage is gone, it will be difficult for Liu Shen to marry the daughter of an official family in Kang'an City."
Yazheng's voice had a hint of coldness, "Not only the daughter of an official family, but also the daughter of an ordinary family in Kang'an City, he can't marry. That stunned boy named Zhou Rui is dead on Liu Xi and obeys every word. Liu Ruyan will go at this time. To provoke Liu Xi is to be the only way to survive."
Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, "Mother is saying that Liu Xi has murderous intentions towards Liu Ruyan?"
