The old lady is reborn

After hearing this, Song Ying thought to herself: Rong Yunfeng was getting married, and I didn't use my connections to invite guests to show my support.

If she were reborn, she would have risked her reputation for the Nan'an Marquisate and these descendants.

The wedding ceremonies of her two grandsons were attended by many distinguished guests, and she took the opportunity to introduce the Crown Prince Rong Huaishan and his wife Wu Siyu to more people.

But now she didn't invite anyone. Originally, those people owed favors to her deceased father and brother, and it had nothing to do with the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion.

But someone asked her about it, and she couldn't play dumb any longer and appear to be indifferent to her grandson's marriage, so she invited him.

This person is Yu Min, wife of the Dali Temple Minister. Like her husband Yue Minghui, Yu Min is a person with a simple heart.

Song Ying wanted to bring the upright Dali Temple Minister into the military uniform business to fight against the sinister Prince Guanghuai, so he frequently invited Yu Min.

Yu Min and Song Ying got along well, so she consciously felt that she should come to show her support and give a gift. She was afraid that Song Ying would feel embarrassed to invite her, so she took the initiative to ask.

Song Ying naturally invited them, but after all, her family was at one table and Yu Min was at another, so Song Ying asked Shisan to accompany them throughout the whole process.

Now, after hearing Wu'er's report, Song Ying thought: Let's rescue the person and make a big deal out of this.

Now that everyone in the kitchen was his, Song Ying gave the orders and changed his clothes before returning to the banquet.

Not long after, thick smoke began to billow from Rong Yunfeng's yard, where the bridal chamber was located.

The guests in the front yard were confused and didn't know whether they should leave.

Song Ying smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. It won't affect anything. We should eat and drink as usual." Then he told Wu'er to go and take a look in front of everyone.

After a while, a few people came running in panic, attracting everyone's attention. The one leading them was Wu'er.

Wu Er said, "Madam, there is thick smoke coming out from the wall of the bridal chamber, and the servants are carrying water to the bridal chamber.

The maids in the yard also protected the bride and retreated to the yard.

A maid ran out of the bridal chamber and came to ask the bride for instructions, asking what to do with the big box inside.

I heard the bride reply that life and death were up to her and that it was not her business to worry about. Living had its uses, but death was death.

After hearing this, I became suspicious and had to go into the bridal chamber to check. If someone hadn't come out yet, it would be bad if something had really happened.

But I saw that there were air holes on the big box, so I called the fireman to carry the box out first, and then I took a big axe to chop off the padlock.

When the dowry box was opened, there was a girl tied up inside.

I came here to ask for the old lady's advice. Now the girl is unconscious and we dare not move. She is still in the box."

Everyone started talking about it after hearing this.

After hearing this, Song Ying said, "This is strange." He called the wife of the Dali Temple Minister and said, "Madam, would you like to go with me to take a look?"

Yu Min said: "I am happy to obey."

Everyone likes to watch the fun, and once the gossip starts, it is impossible to stop it. Some people followed, and some people started to make a noise, saying, "Let's go and see too."

So many people followed Song Ying and Yu Min to the yard where the bridal chamber was located.

The banquet was originally divided into separate seats for men and women. Almost all the people at the female guests' table came, but the male guests probably hadn't received the news yet.

Song Ying saw several servants in the kitchen guarding a large box. The lock of the box had been broken and the lid was open.

Song Ying, Yu Min and others went over to take a look and saw that it was indeed a girl who was tied up.

Yu Min said: "Let's get the person out quickly."

So Song Ying called a few maids to move the girl from the box to the recliner.

The Dali Temple's wife squatted down to take a closer look and said, "It seems that this girl has been drugged and is still unconscious."

Song Ying asked someone to quickly untie the girl.

Song Ying asked how to solve the drug, and Yu Min said, "I don't know what kind of drug it is, and there is no corresponding solution for the time being. Just try the usual cold water compress on your face."

Song Ying asked someone to bring cold water and use a towel to wipe the girl's face. At the same time, he ordered someone to call a doctor and asked, "Who is this girl? Why is she in the dowry box?"

This question was asked to the maidservant beside the bride.

No one dared to say anything, but someone in the crowd recognized her and said, "This looks like the second young lady of the Jiang family!"

Then someone made a joke and said, "Are these two sisters marrying the same man?"

While everyone was discussing this, a servant came to report to Song Ying, "Madam, the fire has been put out. It may be that the firecrackers set off today ignited the wooden fence. It's all right now."

Song Ying said: "Okay, you've worked hard, go downstairs and take a rest and change clothes first."

When the doctor came, he looked at the girl and said to Song Ying, "I don't know how effective this drug is. If it lasts too long, it might damage the brain. I'll give her acupuncture to wake her up quickly. What do you think?"

Song Ying said, "Doctor, please go ahead."

The doctor then took out a full set of acupuncture instruments and gave acupuncture to Jiang Muwan, the second daughter of the Jiang family.

During this time, today's groom Rong Yunfeng received the news and rushed here, asking everyone to return to their seats, saying that the host would handle the matter here.

But those who were there to watch the fun, eat melons and gossip did not move, and the old lady Song Ying did not say anything either.

When the girl woke up and looked at everyone, tears started to flow before she said a word.

Song Ying went up to her, held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. This is in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion, and I am the old lady of this mansion.

How could the girl be in my granddaughter-in-law's dowry box?"

After Jiang Muwan learned of Jiang Nianchen's idea, he planned to save himself, but he didn't know whether this move could save him. Now that he saw that he was saved, he couldn't help crying.

Later, seeing that he was in the public eye, if he tried to hide it and didn't say anything, he was afraid that the dirty water would be thrown at him again.

The girl opened her mouth but no sound came out. Song Ying hurriedly asked someone to bring some tea. She was also very thirsty, so she drank a few cups in a row before saying, "I am Jiang Muwan, the second young lady of Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion.

My eldest sister Jiang Nianchen got married, but she wanted me to be a concubine. I didn't want to do it, so she drugged me, tied me up and stuffed me into a box."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The groom Rong Yunfeng heard this and quietly slipped away. Seeing him like this, Song Ying couldn't help but think: It seems that he also knows about it.

The bride Jiang Nianchen listened and thought: Jiang Muwan usually looks timid and cowardly. No matter how she is rubbed, kneaded, pinched, or even beaten and scolded, she will endure it. She is a dough-like person, but today she is brave enough.

Jiang Nianchen said, "Sister, what are you talking about? My dowry box was originally filled with things, and I didn't know that my sister wanted to marry with me.

Did your girls help you in this big show? Did they let others tie them up?

Why are you throwing dirty water on me? What good will it do you if you ruin my reputation?

Now you can legitimately marry my husband as a concubine?"

Jiang Muwan said: "Sister hurt me so much, but she turned the tables on me.

Aren't my girls all tied up and gagged by my sister, and under guard? They can't even leave the courtyard.

"My sister's husband is someone that Mu Wan has never dreamed of. Mu Wan is the second daughter of the Marquis's mansion, why would she ruin her reputation by becoming someone else's concubine?"

Jiang Nianchen said: "Sister, you are really interesting, listen to what you said, does it make sense or not?

Why should I make myself feel so upset on my wedding day? On the wedding day, I am busy arranging for my husband to take a concubine? Or a maid?"

For a moment, everyone around was talking about it.

Jiang Muwan heard this and said, "My sister is born with difficulty in getting pregnant. She wants Muwan to be her concubine. I'm afraid she is planning to kill the mother and keep the child.

My elder sister didn't take a concubine for her husband. She just treated my younger sister as a thing, an object, just like all other dowry, and brought her here as a thing or a toy.

It is there for you to use and then throw away.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Jiang Nianchen said: "What nonsense, slanderous words, I just got married today, how can I know whether I can have children?

You are an unmarried girl, but you can talk about whether you are pregnant or not very easily.

Even if I don't have children after two or three years of marriage, I will take a concubine and a maid for my husband, and the children they give birth to will be registered under my name as legitimate children.

They are willing to do so, and I have a child, so why do they have to kidnap you today?"

Jiang Muwan said: “Because I am a thorn in your and your mother’s side, you have long been looking for an opportunity to get rid of me.

Not only did it force me to leave the Jiang family and the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, it also ruined my reputation and made it impossible for me to make a comeback.

You are planning to have me die in childbirth and disappear forever."

Jiang Nianchen said: "It's getting more and more strange. Why do your parents regard you as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh?

We are both daughters of marquisates, I think you are crazy about wanting to get married, right? "
