The vicious villain is pretending to be weak again

After coming out of Jiang Yan's room, the four-year-old girl snuggled into her mother's arms, bit her fleshy little finger, and blinked.

"Mother, what's wrong with the second brother?"

Yuan shi hugged the girl and said slowly after walking away.

"Your second brother is ill."

"What's wrong?"

"A disease called self-righteousness." After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she also felt a little funny, and she narrowed her eyes with a narrow smile.

"Zhuzhu, your second brother thinks that everyone treats him well for granted, so he doesn't cherish it, and now he has nothing~"

Jiang Yan has a straightforward personality, and because of Mrs. Jiang's connivance these years, Yuan's face has been embarrassing many times.

He looked down on Yuan's stepmother from the bottom of his heart. He was young and frivolous, so he never considered other people's feelings.

Now, once he fell into the mud and broke his pride, he dared not even step out of the door.

Yuan Shi felt very ridiculous in her heart.

Can a person who has no skills and lives by his identity really endure the days of being inferior to others?

The little girl bit her finger, didn't understand what her mother meant, but leaned on her shoulder in trouble.

.

Winter month twenty-six.

Zhao Quan, the king of Duan, publicly exposed Mu Taishi's corruption and perversion of the law in the court, and listed dozens of crimes, including using power for personal gain, killing innocent people indiscriminately, occupying good land, buying and selling official positions, etc., and the evidence is comprehensive. Many, and even Empress Mu was involved.

All of a sudden, the government and the public were shaken, and King Duan's move was nothing more than a complete declaration of war with the Mu family.

The Mu family had a deep foundation in the Southern Song Dynasty, but King Duan wanted to leverage the entire family by himself, which is really crazy.

He had already been forced to turn red-eyed, and now he wished he could win the round for himself by strangling the crown prince's biggest reliance.

Fortunately, he won the bet.

His Majesty was furious, Grand Master Mu was imprisoned, and ordered him to personally lead troops to raid the Mu Mansion. The three hundred people in the Mu Manor fell into his hands, and those who had been collaborating with the Mu family before were all tightened up. Neck, afraid that I would be involved too.

After that day, the Duan Wang Party who had been depressed for many days suddenly became elated, and the Duan Wang Mansion, which was originally deserted, suddenly became lively like the sun in the sky.

In contrast, Princess Baoxi in Qingshan nunnery really fell into the mud, which made people feel that the world is impermanent.

Concubine Duan can be Princess Baoxi, but she cannot be Jiang Lingyi with a collaborating and treasonous father.

"Miss Jiang, His Royal Highness Duan Wang called you to meet me."

The little nun lowered her head and couldn't help but look at Jiang Lingyi with pity.

She also heard the rumors at the foot of the mountain, presumably His Royal Highness Duan Wang came today to retire the engagement, right?

But that figure was lying on the chair leisurely, with hot tea cooking on the stove beside her, and she was lying in the sun without even lifting her eyelids.

"not see."

The little nun gasped in shock at her tone, and stood outside the door a little at a loss.

After the little nun walked away in a panic, Zan Xing came over holding the box.

"Master, King Duan's thank you gift is a total of 10 taels of silver notes."

A thick stack of tightly pressed bank notes is really a concise and clear thank you gift.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang said that these banknotes are just a meeting gift."

Jiang Lingyi opened her eyes leisurely, picked up a bank note, glanced at it, and put it back.

"It's really dishonest."

Each of these bank notes has a special mark, as long as she dares to use it, Zhao Quan can rely on this clue to find the people around her.

This kind of crude method can only be done by Zhao Quan, who is in a daze.

Jiang Lingyi couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Although Beili now has foreign relatives who are involved in politics, the national power is booming. The monarch is diligent and the courtiers encourage him.

What is there in the Southern Song Dynasty.

There is a grand master who is corrupt and perverts the law, a master who is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and a group of clowns.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

With a "snap", she closed the box, and closed her eyes in disgust.

"Send it to the Charity Hall for donation."

"Yes."

Shanshitang is an organization established by a strange woman in the Southern Song Dynasty. After collecting donations, the donations will be used to build schools, as well as post-disaster alms, a hundred years of charity, and a living Bodhisattva among the people of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Master, it's time to eat." Xing Ai's voice sounded weakly, but Jiang Lingyi turned a deaf ear.

After a while, Xing Ai's voice came closer and louder.

"Master, sir, he said that he will come later..."

Jiang Lingyi opened her eyes, and she glanced at Xing Ai with an unhappy expression.

"You blackmail me with Xu Jiu?"

"Slaves don't dare!" Xing Ai knelt down on the ground with a plop, and she lowered her head in a lack of confidence.

"Master, you... You always don't eat like this now, and you are hurting your own body! If you are like this, if the empress asks you, it will not be enough for the slaves to pay for their sins with death."

Jiang Lingyi stretched out her hand, and Xing Xing helped her up. The winter sun was unbelievably warm, and Xing Ai knelt on the icy ground, biting her lip with difficulty.

This month, Jiang Lingyi was too easy-going.

She has served her for many years, even though she has doubts in her heart now, she dare not really confront her.

She didn't know, whether the empress knew about it.

"Xing Ai, don't do stupid things."

Jiang Lingyi's words drained all the strength from Xing Ai's body.

She knelt limply on the ground, shivering all over her body.

"Master..."

"Am I your master?" Jiang Lingyi smiled playfully.

Xing Ai noticed that something was wrong, she suspected that she was not 'Jiang Lingyi', so she did some things that did not conform to common sense again and again.

Whether it was the matter of Xi Yu last time, or the matter of looking for Xu Jiu in private now.

All because she couldn't trust herself.

She was wondering if the current Jiang Lingyi was still 'Jiang Lingyi'.

Seeing the panicked look on Xing Ai's face, Jiang Lingyi was not angry.

In other words, it was not unexpected for Xing Ai to behave like this.

If you really didn't notice such an earth-shaking change, you would be really stupid.

It's just that she never thought that Xing Ai would actually focus on Xu Jiu.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand and pressed her temple a little depressed.

"Xing Ai, have you ever thought about whether the imperial grandmother can really allow anyone to replace me?"

Xing Ai was shocked all over, and slowly raised her pale face.

It was full of tears.

Jiang Lingyi saw it, but just frowned.

"If you spread such things casually, have you thought about the consequences? Now I'm exhausted every day, and even put myself in danger time and time again, to get to this point, Prince, Duan Wang You don't understand the dispute between the two parties, and I don't blame you, but do you know that it only takes a little bit of mistakes to put me, the emperor's grandmother, and everyone else in a state of eternal doom."
