Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Oh? How did this news come out?" Jiang Xue asked.

"It seems that the ladies have been moving around more recently," Fu Dong said. "There must be some basis for these rumors coming from the high gate."

Jiang Xue was a little confused. The prime minister wanted to get married. His grandfather's personality meant that he should choose from among the elite civil servants. It was not surprising that Jiang Xue would choose someone who loved to dance and write, but how could he choose two swordsmen and guns at once? ?

Could it be that her aunt had a change of heart and figured out that she would not let Lu Qiongshuang continue to be a high-class lady and wanted to find someone with a similar temperament for her?

Jiang Xue thought about it but couldn't think of a reason. Later, she felt that instead of thinking hard here, it would be better to ask the person involved directly.

I simply covered my head and went to sleep, recuperating myself, there was still plenty to do tomorrow.

The next morning, Jiang Xue got up to practice martial arts. Chen Jin was not in the inner courtyard, so she started practicing the moves Chen Jin taught her.

After Jiang Xue practiced her moves, she looked up into the courtyard and saw that the horizontal bar had been set up. She thought about it, jumped up, grabbed the pole with both hands, and hung on it.

She imitated the fact that she had seen Jiang Yu and the others use the strength of their arms to lift their bodies upwards, and she gritted her teeth and gave it a try.

But after doing it more than a dozen times, my arms were already extremely sore.

Jiang Xue gasped and jumped down, lying down with her hands on her knees. God knows such a simple action can be so tiring to do.

She jumped on it and tried it a few more times, then resignedly continued to lift the keg to carry water.

After finishing all her daily homework, Jiang Xue returned to the house to wash up.

When Xiaochun was dressing her, he saw that she was still trembling slightly when she raised her hands. She frowned and said, "Your Highness, please don't torment her too hard. What will happen if your jade body is injured?"

Jiang Xuewen smiled softly and said, "How can it be so easy to get hurt? Okay, is the carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion ready?"

Xiaochun nodded and asked: "Your Highness, only Guard Xu is guarding the courtyard now. Can the driver choose two from the remaining guards?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "You just have to make arrangements. I can feel at ease with whoever is Changle Palace's own person."

Before Jiang Xue left, she suddenly remembered something and told Xiaochun: "By the way, if someone from the palace comes in the morning, you can treat me well and wait until I come back in the afternoon. If the consort comes and asks, just say I'm not here." You don’t know what’s going on in the house, so just do it if you can, and don’t let the people on the other end get close.”

Xiaochun nodded.

Jiang Xue whispered again: "Also, there will be visitors coming to Qingxuan in the morning. Let the guards keep quiet when they see them. They are our own people. If they arrive, you can find a room and put them in place. We will be on the left and right In the courtyard, just don’t let outsiders know.”

Seeing Jiang Xue's serious look, Xiaochun probably knew the importance of these people, so he said to Jiang Xue, "Yes, I know what's appropriate."

After Jiang Xue finished her instructions, she took Fu Dong to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Xue went to Prime Minister Lu's courtyard to greet her as usual. The difference today was that Prime Minister Lu had someone pass a message to her through the door and window.

The person who conveyed the message was the old butler beside Lu Xiang. He said respectfully to Jiang Xue: "The Prime Minister asked the old slave to tell His Highness that Your Highness does not need to worry too much, and that the Queen must not be too worried or make her nervous. It’s also hurting your body. Your Majesty’s body has always been weak, so I would like to ask Your Highness to give you some comfort and relief.”

Jiang Xue nodded, thought for a while, and then said softly: "No matter how many words of comfort I say, my grandfather will get better quickly. It is the greatest comfort to my mother. I hope my grandfather will take care of himself."

The old housekeeper nodded in agreement and went back into the room to reply.

After Jiang Xue greeted her, she went to Lu Qiong's house.

She saw Lu Qiongshuang sitting in front of the window without saying a word, her little face almost wrinkled like a bitter melon, and she probably understood something in her heart.

Jiang Xue walked closer, reached out and patted Lu Qiongshuang's shoulder gently.

Lu Qiong turned around in confusion and saw that the person who came was Jiang Xue. She felt sad for some reason and plunged into Jiang Xue's arms, crying full of grievances.

"Cousin, my father and mother want me to get married. How could they do this? My grandfather is still sick, how could they do this at this time..."

"Perhaps it's because grandpa is ill that he can't worry about you even more?" Jiang Xue comforted her softly.

"Then you can't just go and see my husband's family without telling me. I don't want to get married at all. If my grandfather hadn't been ill, I would have left now..."

Lu Qiongshuang's words were sobbed and choked, which made Jiang Xue feel a little distressed.

Jiang Xue sat next to her, held her in his arms, and coaxed her like a child for a long time.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to, they won't really kidnap you to get married."

"It's just that my grandfather is sick right now. You have to be good and don't make trouble at this time."

Lu Qiong was buried in Jiang Xue's arms for a long time before she stopped crying. She raised her head and said angrily: "If my grandfather hadn't been ill, I wouldn't have cared so much. I would rather go back to Donghai and be scolded by Master every day than I would ever come back."

Seeing that she was in a better mood, Jiang Xue asked, "Do you know which families they showed you?"

Lu Qiongshuang pursed her lips and said, "They are just useless nobles from aristocratic families."

"It's useless? Not to mention the eldest son of the Minister of War, who is famous for his skills in Beijing; even General Zheng is not a fool. He is actually in charge of the army." Jiang Xue tried, "I guess my uncle and aunt specially picked these two families because they wanted to fulfill your wish."

"No," Lu Qiongshuang said angrily, but suddenly started to murmur again, "No matter what they are, they are the sons of ministers and generals. They are all high-ranking nobles from aristocratic families. They are just what I want. My heart is for them. Never mind me, whoever wants to get married and have children can go."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more about the reason, Jiang Xue concentrated on comforting her.

The two sisters talked for a long time. Lu Qiongshuang was persuaded by Jiang Xue, and then Jiang Xue expressed her intention.

"Qiong Shuang, there's something I don't know what to do about right now. Please listen."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded.

"The matters in the Gu Mansion are complicated, and I need manpower, but right now Wu Anlang only has a few people, and I really can't go to the palace to ask for people. You have been in the martial arts for many years, but do you know that if you want to spend some money to buy some martial arts masters to do things, it will be difficult It’s not difficult, but is it reliable?”

Lu Qiong's eyes lit up and said: "The rules of the Jianghu have always been - the Jianghu is the Jianghu, accept money from others to help others eliminate disasters, and those who help others should not ask why, and secondly, never talk too much about leaking secrets. Only complete the matter and take it. Just take advantage of it and disappear."

When Jiang Xue heard this, her brows relaxed a lot and she asked: "Then do you have any skills?"

Lu Qiong rolled her eyes, patted her chest to Jiang Xue, and said, "Put it on me!"

As a member of the Jianghu, she does have a good candidate.
