Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li saw that Tong'er and Bai Xue couldn't figure it out, so she told them what happened last night.

The two girls didn't follow to the palace banquet, so they didn't know that they would go out like this again. After listening to the whole process described by Jiang Li, they were all very surprised. Jiang Li didn't say how she teased Jiang Yu'e, but said that by mistake, Jiang Yu'e drank the medicinal wine that should be given to her.

Empress Tong'er was terrified, and said in horror: Thanks to the fifth lady who drank the medicine, if the girl drank it... Tong'er couldn't imagine what would happen to Jiangli next, and clasped her hands together again Silently said in the sky, This is because Madam has a spirit in the sky, and has been secretly protecting the girl from harm, Amitabha...

Madam's heart is too cruel, Bai Xue said with a frown, I didn't leave a way for the girl to survive by doing this. She looks gentle and loving, but in fact she has a heart of snakes and scorpions. Girl, we can't tell the master so that the master can see her behavior clearly. Is it true?

Jiang Li shook her head.

I have no evidence for this matter. They can refute it just because of my one-sided statement. And now that Jiang Youyao's marriage has been ruined for no reason, her father is ashamed of her, and he is partial to her in his heart. I will not be accused of saying anything. Believe it. It's nothing, Jiang Li said, just annulling the marriage with Zhou Yanbang this time is enough to seriously hurt the mother and daughter. They didn't hurt me after all. As for their true colors, Jiang Li slightly With a smile, As long as I stay in this mansion for a day, I can always find opportunities.

Tong'er and Bai Xue looked at each other.

Now that Jiang Li has said so, they can only give up. Tong'er asked: Then what is the son of Zhou going to do now? Are you going to marry the fifth lady? I see that the master will never let the third lady marry the son of Zhou again.

Even Tong'er could see that Jiang Youyao would not be able to enter Zhou Yanbang's family again after such an incident, and Jiang Yuanbai would never allow Jiang Youyao to belittle himself like this, and also dishonor the Jiang family's reputation.

Miss Wu can't be the wife, right? Bai Xue followed up, Isn't Mr. Zhou involved with Miss Shen's family? Even Miss Shen's status is much higher than Miss Wu's. If you want to give If the Fifth Miss confesses, it is even more necessary to explain to the Shen family, between the Shen family and the Fifth Miss, they will definitely accommodate the Shen family first.

Tong'er nodded vigorously, then looked at Jiang Li and patted her chest, and said with lingering fear: Zhou Shizi is confused with so many women, and he hasn't married yet... From this point of view, this person is really not a good match. It's good for him to get rid of the relationship early, and let him harm other people. Tong'er is very happy, but Jiang Li and Zhou Yanbang have already settled their marriage contract, otherwise it would not be Jiang Youyao who Ruyun is sad, but Jiang Youyao in front of him pears.

However, Tong'er suddenly remembered something, and asked suspiciously: I have never heard of the relationship between Zhou Shizi and Miss Shen's family before? How did they get involved? Is it an accident?

Zhou Yanbang, who was drunk, saw Shen Ruyun's color by accident, and then he suddenly acted indecently, is that so?

Jiang Li's smile became colder.

The husband is ruthless, but the concubine is intentional. This is not an accident, but a feat carefully arranged by Shen Ruyun.

...

Shen family.

The servants lowered their heads and worked hard.

Even if the current master is classified as Zhongshu Shelang, he seems to be very tolerant and loving, but Zhongshu Shelang's old lady and his sister are not as easy-talking as Shen Yurong, and the two women are born with a bit of mean temper. Especially now that Shen Yurong's official career is getting more and more prosperous, the tempers of the two women are gradually increasing, as if they want to vent all the suffering they have suffered in the past in order to make up for the suffering in the past.

And the way to vent is to torture the servants.

The servants of Shen's residence knew that the two mistresses treated others harshly, so they did not dare to distract in the slightest and were very careful.

In the room, Shen Ruyun was confronting Shen Yurong.

You've gone too far! Shen Yurong said.

Shen Ruyun didn't take it seriously, and replied: Brother, it wasn't me who did the wrong thing, it was Ningyuanhou Zhou Yanbang, why are you still blaming me, are you my elder brother?

Shen Yurong smiled instead of anger, looked at Shen Ruyun, and asked, Oh? Did he really do something wrong?

His eyes are very sharp, as if swooshing directly into people's hearts, spying out everything in people's hearts. Shen Ruyun flinched for a moment, then said bravely, Not bad!

Shen Yurong looked at her fixedly.

Shen Ruyun felt a little guilty.

That night at the palace banquet, everyone could see the result. Ningyuanhou's son Zhou Yanbang and his fiancée's cousin Jiang Yu'e had a private meeting in the palace. Ningyuan Hou Shizi is not as handsome as he appears on the surface, but lustful.

Everyone could see the result, but no one knew exactly what happened that night. Even Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Yu'e may not know very clearly, but the one who knows the most is Shen Ruyun.

That night, she ran into Jiang Li in the garden, learned of Zhou Yanbang's whereabouts, struggled several times, and finally couldn't help her longing, and went to Yuxiu Pavilion by herself, intending to encounter Zhou Yanbang , at least talk to Zhou Yanbang a few words, let Zhou Yanbang remember himself, know that there is such a person, not a stranger.

Until now, Shen Ruyun is still glad that she made this decision.

When she pushed open the gate of Yuxiu Pavilion and saw the ugly scene of Jiang Yu'e and Zhou Yanbang rubbing each other to death, she almost couldn't help screaming. Anger and jealousy overwhelmed her in an instant, and without any hesitation, Shen Ruyun planned to run out, make this scandal public, and take revenge on this man who broke her heart and this shameless woman.

Before leaving, Shen Ruyun didn't know what kind of mood she was in, so she backed away again. She wanted to question Zhou Yanbang why he did this. If I had to give up before, I could only look at the man I love so much from a distance, because Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao were already engaged, but Zhou Yanbang, who was already engaged, why did he want to be with Jiang Yu'e? Could it be that he liked Jiang Yu'e? ?

Shen Ruyun immediately recognized Jiang Yu'e, Jiang Youyao's younger sister, an annoying dog of Jiang Youyao who was always begging for mercy.

But after Shen Ruyun plucked up the courage to question Zhou Yanbang, Zhou Yanbang did not answer. He seemed to have heard Shen Ruyun's words, and raised his head to face Shen Ruyun's direction, but the expression on his face was dazed, as if he was drunk, with abnormal flushing.

Shen Ruyun remembered what Jiang Li said, that Zhou Yanbang took a nap when he was drunk, and thought that Zhou Yanbang was drunk, and a little luck arose in his heart, did Zhou Yanbang do this kind of thing unconsciously when he was drunk?

When she boldly approached a little closer and suppressed the disgust in her heart to look at Jiang Yu'e, she found that Jiang Yu'e was also in a daze like Zhou Yanbang.

But even a drunk person shouldn't look like this.

Shen Ruyun vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity, and felt that this scene seemed to have been seen somewhere, until she saw half of the incense burning in the corner of the room, and the other half had turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

Shen Ruyun suddenly realized!

She understood why the picture in front of her was so familiar, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had seen it before, and now she finally realized that this was her sister-in-law, Xue Fangfei, who was caught with her adulter When is the picture?

Almost identical!

Xue Fangfei was the same at that time, she was in a daze and not sober, and she didn't understand what kind of environment she was in. After finally waking her up, the wives who were watching outside saw almost the scene they wanted to see.

It was the same two people who were sleepy and unconscious, the same incense, the same intriguing smell.

The longer Shen Ruyun stayed in the room, the more dry his mouth felt, and a strange hot wave surged in his body.

If she hadn't experienced Xue Fangfei's incident, with Shen Ruyun's not-so-intelligent mind, she would naturally not be able to figure out what was going on. But because of previous experience, Shen Ruyun was very smart this time, and immediately guessed what was going on.

Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Yu'e were plotted against!

Now that the matter has come to this, Shen Ruyun hesitated instead.

If Zhou Yanbang was plotted by others, it was not his intention, and he naturally had no need to retaliate against him, and there was no need to call people to watch this scandal. But if they were not called to wake up, would Jiang Yu'e take this opportunity to blame Zhou Yanbang after waking up? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a possibility. Shen Ruyun even thought, maybe, Jiang Yu'e herself was the one who planned to plot against Zhou Yanbang.

With this conjecture, Shen Ruyun felt more and more that what she thought was right. You must know that with Jiang Yu'e's identity, it is impossible to marry an official's son in the future, let alone Ningyuan Hou's son who is admired by everyone in Yanjing City. Even if she married Ningyuan Hou Shizi as a concubine, she would be regarded as Jiang Yu'e's high climber.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Ruyun felt brooding, looking at Jiang Yu'e was very dazzling. If he just left, wouldn't it be Jiang Yu'e's wish? It was something Shen Ruyun didn't want to see for Jiang Yu'e to pick up a bargain for nothing.

After thinking about it, Shen Ruyun didn't think of a good solution, and couldn't help being angry, who told Zhou Yanbang not to be entangled with himself? If Zhou Yanbang was the one lying on the same bed with Zhou Yanbang now, things would be much easier. As the younger sister of Zhongshu Shelang, Zhou Yanbang would be fine if he married him. And with the reality of husband and wife, no matter how unwilling Jiang Youyao was, she would definitely cut off contact with Zhou Yanbang.

The Jiang family will not allow Jiang Youyao to be a flat wife.

It was a random thought at first, but Shen Ruyun was suddenly taken aback when thinking about the latter.

That's right, since Jiang Youyao wouldn't be able to sing if he got entangled with Zhou Yanbang, why didn't he do it?

Anyway, now that Zhou Yanbang is drugged and unconscious, even if there is one more person entangled, Zhou Yanbang will not know.

It's just that Shen Ruyun also knows that his status is not the same as before, and he still has a brother of Zhongshu Shelang. What he did was too ugly, and Shen Ruyun's face was dull, which might affect Shen Yurong's career. It is impossible for her to sleep beside Zhou Yanbang in disheveled clothes like Jiang Yu'e. She is a woman, and she has to worry about her reputation.

On this matter, Shen Ruyun probably exhausted all her ingenuity and wisdom in her life to fabricate a story of being underestimated. In this way, she became a pitiful victim for everyone, but she also had a relationship with Shen Yurong. The skin-to-skin relationship can make Shen Yurong responsible for herself.

Things went very smoothly, and even Princess Yongning stood on her side to help her speak, and judging by Ning Yuanhou's tone, she was bound to give herself an explanation.

When Shen Ruyun fell asleep, she dreamed of marrying Zhou Yanbang and dreaming of being the wife of the prince.

But unexpectedly, her own brother, Shen Yurong, did not stand on this side. On the contrary, he accused her of not doing this.

Frustrated by Shen Yurong's gaze, Shen Ruyun changed the subject and said, Brother! What's the point of talking about this now? Marquis Ning Yuan said he would explain to us. Now that I have such a relationship with Prince Zhou, others will I dare not marry me again, I have no other choice but to marry him!

There is no other way? Shen Yurong snorted, When you did that, why don't you think that there is no other way now!

Shen Ruyun's heart was shocked, Shen Yurong still guessed it, and with Shen Yurong's mind, she couldn't fail to guess what was wrong.

I know you like him, but he is the Jiang family's son-in-law! Shen Yurong said: Now the Jiang family can only retire the engagement. You made the Jiang family and the Zhou family feud. Do you think the Ningyuan Houfu will not hate you? The Jiang family will also remember On your head!

Shen Ruyun hates mentioning the Jiang family the most. Although she is also the younger sister of Zhongshu Shelang, she is still not as expensive as the daughter of the first assistant. She couldn't help but sneer: The Jiang family, you know the Jiang family, After all, you still care about your official career. Now that Her Royal Highness is in our Shen family, why should you be afraid of the Jiang family, you—

With a pop, Shen Ruyun's voice stopped abruptly.

Because Shen Yurong slapped her across the face.

Shen Yurong's body was tilted by her beating, and she almost fell. I saw Shen Yurong's eyes were red, his palms were trembling, looking at her with dark eyes, he said: Be careful with your words.

Shen Ruyun was so frightened that she couldn't even cry.

She knew that her elder brother was smart and had studied well since he was a child. The teachers in the private school said that sooner or later their Shen family would produce a champion. Later, Shen Yurong really became the number one scholar.

Shen Yurong was very kind to Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun, but Shen Ruyun really annoyed him, and when Shen Yurong got angry, Shen Ruyun would also be afraid. But I don't know since when, probably after Xue Fangfei's death, Shen Ruyun felt that her eldest brother had become more and more gloomy and strange. For example, now, she was terrified, she didn't know what Shen Yurong would do.

Shen's mother, who heard the commotion outside, hurriedly opened the door and came in. As soon as she came in, she saw Shen Ruyun covering her face with tears in her eyes, and hurried over to push Shen Ruyun's hand away. How could you do anything to your sister!

Seeing Shen's mother coming, Shen Yurong pressed her forehead helplessly and said, Mother, don't meddle in this matter.

How can you not intervene! Mother Shen said: I am your mother! Ruyun suffered such a big grievance last night, what did she do wrong? She is your sister! I know you are capable, now I can't control you , if you feel that Ruyun and I are a burden, and that we are ashamed and unable to be your family, then tell me as soon as possible. Ruyun and I packed up our things and went back to the countryside, and dare not provoke you, the number one scholar! At the end, it was He just sat down on the ground and howled dryly: It's all my fault that the master died so early. After leaving such a mess, it was so easy to raise my son with so much hardship, but now he doesn't recognize his mother. It's a crime...

Shen Ruyun quickly squatted down, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

The servants outside were so frightened that they didn't dare to show their breath, they pretended not to see it, and stayed far away. This kind of scene is no stranger in Shen's residence. Whenever Shen's mother can't help Shen Yurong, she will always use the trick of crying dryly to force Shen Yurong to compromise.

Sure enough, Shen Yurong was immediately defeated, and he said: Mother, when did I say that I don't care about you, it's because the son is not good, the son is not filial, it is the son's fault. Ruyun, I will go to Ningyuanhou's mansion at noon, You will not be wronged by this matter, Zhou Yanbang... you can rest assured and wait at home.

Shen Ruyun was secretly happy in her heart, but still sobbed and said: Brother, don't lie to me, and don't think that my sister is unforgiving. Now if Ningyuanhoufu doesn't give me an explanation, I have no other place to go, so I have to be hanged. She has gone to be a sister-in-law with her hair. You know how the people of Yanjing treat unclean women... She suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Shen Yurong in bewilderment.

Shen Yurong didn't allow Xue Fangfei to be mentioned again in the mansion. Everyone guessed that it was because he admitted that he was wearing a cuckold, and it was a humiliating thing for a husband to have an affair with a wife.

Shen Yurong's brows twitched slightly, she didn't get angry, but suddenly calmed down, and her expression became cold, he said: I see. You guys wait in the mansion, I'll go out first. After all, he didn't care Shen Ruyun and Shen Mu went straight out.

Shen's mother didn't howl again this time, but after Shen Yurong left, Wu slapped Shen Ruyun on the back and complained: It's fine, why did you bring up that matter? Look at your brother, don't comfortable.

Shen Ruyun also regretted it in her heart. She didn't want to make Shen Yurong angry, but she still didn't let go, and said, Brother, what's going on? He still acts like that when he mentions that person, can't he still Are you thinking about her?

What nonsense? Shen's mother immediately said: Your elder brother has nothing to do with that woman for a long time! She made your elder brother a joke in the whole capital. Which man in the world can tolerate a wife who steals someone? She died well. If she doesn't look like her, your elder brother will still be dragged down by her, where did he get his current good future?!

Seeing Shen's mother's stern voice, Shen Ruyun didn't dare to refute anything. After a while, she said: Mother, will elder brother really go to Ningyuan Houfu to stand up for me?

Of course he will! Shen's mother held Shen Ruyun's hand, a stern light flashed in her eyes, If your elder brother didn't show up, the Ningyuan Houfu insulted your innocence in front of so many people, so naturally they will give you a slap in the face. Tell me, if it really doesn’t work, let the princess help... In short, you must not be wronged!”

Shen Ruyun was a little guilty, she was scheming against Zhou Yanbang, except for Shen Yurong to guess, even Shen's mother didn't know. If Ningyuanhou's Mansion learned the truth, they would definitely not let it go, but judging from Zhou Yanbang's situation, they should not know the truth.

In this way, the matter is seamless, and she can successfully marry into Ningyuanhou's residence.

She finally got what she wanted.

...

At this moment in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, a woman's cry came from the hall.

Master, stop beating, stop beating! Yanbang can't stand this beating, stop it! Madam Ning Yuanhou was about to grab the whip from Ning Yuanhou's hand, but was pushed away by Ning Yuanhou and fell to the ground, eyes widened. Watching the shiny black whip fall on Zhou Yanbang's back, Zhou Yanbang screamed.

The servants in the hall and other people in Ningyuanhou's mansion did not dare to intercede for Zhou Yanbang. Zhou Yanbang knelt on the ground, intending to avoid his father's whipping, but he was beaten even harder.

His back was immediately covered with red scars, and the scars were raised one after another. Because of his fine skin and tender flesh, the scars were very scary.

While beating, Ning Yuanhou cursed bitterly: Shuzi is ridiculous!

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou couldn't dissuade her no matter what, she had to watch Ning Yuanhou get tired from beating, threw the whip in her hand, snorted, and walked away without looking back.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou hurriedly rushed forward, seeing Zhou Yanbang's dying state, she couldn't hold back her tears, and hurriedly shouted to the servants beside her, Hurry up and invite the doctor!

The doctor came soon and wrote some pharmacy sheets for Zhou Yanbang. Mrs. Ning Yuanhou hurriedly asked someone to grab the medicine and take it to the kitchen to fry, while she personally applied ointment on Zhou Yanbang's back.

After a while, the comatose Zhou Yanbang woke up leisurely and called out, Mother.

Madam Ning Yuanhou's tears fell on the back of her hand, she felt sad for her misfortune and angered her for not fighting, she wished she could reach out her hand to hit Zhou Yanbang twice, but she was reluctant to do so, she said: What are you doing?

Zhou Yanbang couldn't tell either.

What did you do? From last night until now, he was dizzy and didn't understand anything.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou said again: It's fine if you get mixed up with Jiang Yu'e, and the left and right are just the daughters of a concubine. If it's not possible, it's okay to take it in and become a noble concubine. But you are so good, what are you doing to provoke Shen Ruyun? That's Zhongshu Shelang's younger sister, and now the emperor values ​​Shen Yurong the most, if you provoke the Shen family, the emperor will definitely dislike you, and he will also feel worried about our Ningyuanhoufu, that's why your father is so angry.

Zhou Yanbang only heard that when he was going to provoke Shen Ruyun, he didn't even know what Shen Ruyun looked like. The younger sister of Zhongshu Shelang had an accident last night, and when she complained tearfully, Zhou Yanbang saw clearly for the first time. The appearance of a woman. How could he be so frivolous to such a strange woman? Zhou Yanbang himself couldn't figure it out.

Didn't you say that you liked Jiang Li, the second daughter of the Jiang family? Since you liked her, how could you find Jiang Wu, Shen Ruyun, Yanbang, what are you thinking? How could you do such a thing? Confused?

Ginger pear? Zhou Yanbang was taken aback, the pain left by the whipping on his back was ignored by him for a moment. Zhou Yanbang remembered, last night, he clearly met Jiang Li in Yuxiu Pavilion, how could he become Jiang Yu'e? At that time, when he saw people coming from Yuxiu Pavilion, he thought Jiang Li was overjoyed when he came to the appointment, so he couldn't help it. Could it be that Jiang Yu'e was actually the one who came from then on?

Seeing that Zhou Yanbang remained silent, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou asked, What's wrong with you?

Zhou Yanbang came back to his senses, and said perfunctorily: It's nothing. But his heart was like a stormy sea, and he couldn't calm down.

Jiang Li will become Jiang Yu'e, what's going on? The note was delivered to Jiang Li, and the person who returned it made it clear that Jiang Li got the note. Jiang Li would definitely not throw such an important thing around for others to pick up.

Zhou Yanbang remembered that after Shen Ruyun attracted the crowd last night, Jiang Li was also standing in the crowd, looking at him without a trace of surprise, the calmness made people's teeth chill.

She already knew.

Like a basin of cold water being poured over his head, Zhou Yanbang felt his whole body shivering from the cold. The colder his body became, the more the flames of hatred and anger in his heart grew bigger and stronger.

Jiang Li didn't want to come to his appointment, so she simply joined forces with Jiang Yu'e to frame him. A Jiang Yu'e tried every means to marry into the Jiang family, and Jiang Li must have known about it a long time ago, so she gave this note to Jiang Yu'e.

In this way, she can stand in the crowd and look at her ugly face with cold eyes!

Zhou Yanbang's heart was full of anger.

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that after what happened last night, his official career has been completely ruined. The first thing a student who comes out of the Imperial College must be is virtue. His virtue has been verified by so many people, it has become a joke. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't like it, he didn't have a chance to flex his muscles in his official career!

All of this is thanks to Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Li.

Zhou Yanbang hated Jiang Yu'e, and Jiang Li even more. It's fine if Jiang Li doesn't come to the appointment, and she used such a humiliating method. She turned a blind eye to her sincerity and abandoned it like a shoe. With such a method, I ruined my life.

This is a vicious woman!

Seeing that Zhou Yanbang seemed to be shaking from head to toe, Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was a little anxious and asked him: Is there something uncomfortable? Let the doctor come and take a look?

No need. Zhou Yanbang resisted the pain in his back and the coldness in his heart, and said, Mother, what should I do next? Right now, Miss Jiang Wu and Miss Shen's family and I are involved, what should I do? He raised the corner of his mouth, A marriage with Jiang Youyao should be impossible.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was silent for a while, then shook her head, Early this morning, the Jiang family sent someone here. Her tone didn't know whether it was anger or regret, You should pretend that your marriage with Jiang Youyao never happened.

Zhou Yanbang said: It's nothing, the marriage between me and Jiang Youyao shouldn't have happened.

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou felt that what he said was a little strange, and couldn't help but look at him.

But Zhou Yanbang thought in his heart that the marriage with Jiang Youyao was originally a substitute for him and Jiang Li. Now that Jiang Youyao has left, she has returned to the beginning.

But his relationship with the Jiang family didn't seem to be completely severed.

How is Jiang Yu'e? Zhou Yanbang asked: I seem to have to arrange a role for her, mother, how about her being a concubine?

This is the best. Mrs. Ningyuanhou snorted, I don't even look at her own identity. If this doesn't satisfy her, she'd better give up the idea of ​​entering Ningyuanhou's mansion.
