"Mother, sister, her parents died early, and she came to the capital from the northwest to join her father. She must have suffered a lot and finally had a family. But we treat her like this. She must feel very uncomfortable, and she will definitely be estranged from us over time. .Father always hoped that we could live in harmony and the family would be happy, so you can let go of your hostility towards her and love her as your own daughter, okay?"

Jiang Yan's voice became softer as she spoke, until she was almost raving in the end.

Yuanfeng looked at her daughter with a complicated expression, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Before she went out in the morning, her daughter also said that she was going to the ancestral hall to supervise Jiang Zhen. The excited look was definitely not worried about Jiang Zhen.

Why did she become like this after going out for a few hours?

What happened during this period?

After much deliberation, Yuanfeng decided to ask someone to find out if he didn't have any clue.

As soon as she got up, her hand was held by Jiang Yan, and she was mumbling something, which was a little hard to hear.

Yuanfeng leaned over and brought his ears closer.

"Yan'er, what did you say?"

"Mother, don't punish my sister..."

Yuanfeng sighed, patted her hand, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand, you sleep well, and mother will stay here with you."

Only then did Jiang Yan feel relieved and fell into a deep sleep.

Yuanfeng waited for her to fall asleep, waved his hand and called Xiliu, the personal maid who was waiting outside the door, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xiliu got the order, she backed out gently, and walked to the west.

There is only one daughter, Jiang Yan, in the General's Mansion. Her Hanyu Courtyard is the most luxuriously built, followed by the Shengyue Courtyard built next to the Hanshu Courtyard, and the worst and smallest is the Ningbo Courtyard in the west.

When Jiang Chengsha brought Jiang Zhen back, he originally planned to let her live in Shengyueyuan, but was strongly opposed by Yuanfeng and "Jiang Yan", so he had to let her live in Ningboyuan.

Now that Xiliu is heading west, the answer is self-evident.

Jiang Zhen knelt for several hours, her knees were swollen, Xia He was carefully applying medicine to her, her eyes were full of distress.

"Miss, why didn't you explain, that vase was obviously not broken by you."

Jiang Zhen smiled faintly, the emotion in her eyes was dark and unclear.

"There's nothing to explain. As long as my mother believes that I did it, what's the use of my explanation? Those who believe in you don't need to explain, and those who don't believe in you, no amount of explanation will be in vain."

Xia He listened to his young lady's words, and inexplicably felt a little more distressed for her, and the movements of his hands became softer and gentler.

The room was quiet again, Jiang Zhen looked at the peach blossoms outside the window, thinking about Jiang Yan's abnormal behavior today.

"Miss, it's all right, I'll wrap up the wound for you, don't move around for the next two days, the swelling should subside soon."

Jiang Zhen nodded: "Thank you, Xia He."

People in this mansion are arrogant and depressing, she is used to seeing cynicism, Xia He is a rare person who treats her sincerely.

Xia He swiftly packed up the medicine box, rolled up the extra cotton cloth, and looked up at Jiang Zhen: "Miss, what did you say? If it weren't for you, I would have been kicked out of the general's mansion. My life would be worthless." It's yours, isn't it right to do this for you?"

Jiang Zhen smiled and said nothing, wanted to stand up and take a few steps, but Xia He pushed her down on the chair.

"Miss, you just said you can't move, but you are disobedient again."

Jiang Zhen had no choice but to sit obediently and watch her go about her business.

"Miss, Madam invites you to visit the Hanyu Courtyard."

Xiliu's voice came from outside the door, the smile on Jiang Zhen's face disappeared, Xia He glanced at her, and said respectfully to the door: "Aunt Xiliu, wait a moment, the eldest lady will come after changing her clothes."

Then she looked at Jiang Zhen worriedly, and whispered: "Miss, Madam will not punish you for Miss Er?"

There was coldness in Jiang Zhen's eyes, and she clenched her hands unconsciously.

I have known for a long time that Jiang Yan is uneasy and kind, and it is indeed the scheme of the mother and daughter.

She would like to see what tricks they want to play.

"Let's go, don't ask Aunt Xiliu to wait too long."

Jiang Zhen stood up calmly, and walked out expressionlessly.

Although Xiliu was heavily relied upon by Yuanfeng, she always kept her identity in mind, and did not neglect Qin Zhen just because she was not favored, but was courteous and thoughtful, and when she came out, she blessed her slightly: "Miss."

Qin Zhen nodded lightly, and walked straight to the Hanyu courtyard.

Xia He was worried about her master, and glanced at her from time to time, so she came to Hanyu Courtyard nervously.

Xiliu told them to wait a while, and went in to report to Yuanfeng. Yuanfeng was afraid of disturbing Jiang Yan, so she put her hand under the quilt and walked to the side room, signaling Xiliu to call someone in.

Jiang Zhen went in and was about to salute when she heard Yuan Feng scolding.

"Your Majesty!"

Jiang Zhen knelt down slowly, her back straightened.

What Yuanfeng dislikes the most is her appearance, she is so arrogant and conceited, as if no one cares about her.

I don't know what ecstasy soup she poured into Yan'er, which made her uncharacteristically speak for her everywhere.

Be sure to figure out why.

If this hateful girl messed up, she just took this opportunity to drive her out of the house.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"What did you tell your sister after I left this morning?"

"My daughter didn't say anything." Jiang Zhen cherished her words like gold, and answered whatever she asked, never saying a word more.

Yuan Feng obviously didn't believe it, she got up from her seat, walked up to Jiang Zhen, and looked down at her.

"If you hadn't lied to your sister, how could she have knelt with you for two hours? Now that she is unconscious, if something bad happens, how are you going to explain it to your father?!"

Jiang Zhen stared at the ground with indifferent eyes, "It's my younger sister who insisted on kneeling with me, and said some incomprehensible words. Instead of wasting time on me, mother, why not ask the doctor to examine my younger sister's body properly."

The daughter plays the white face, and the mother plays the bad face.

It's really hard for them to spend so much thought on dealing with her.

Jiang Zhen laughed at herself, but the smile quickly disappeared.

Yuan Feng's face darkened completely after hearing her words.

If she wasn't afraid that the master would blame her, she would immediately drive this unfamiliar white-eyed wolf out and let her fend for herself.

She is a majestic general's wife, but she can't even cure a young girl, she is really aggrieved!

"Aren't you willing to tell the truth? Good! I want to see how long you can hold your tongue!"

Seeing that her young lady was about to be punished again, Xia He said in a trembling voice regardless of her humble status: "Ma'am, it is really the second young lady who wants to kneel herself. She first confessed to the young lady that she broke the vase by herself, and then Tell Missy not to kneel, if Missy refuses, she will kneel with Missy until you come back, these sisters Dongxue and Qiuyue can also testify."

Yuanfeng's expression froze, and there was coldness in his eyes.

A little maid dares to refute her, it's really against the sky!

"You are loyal. Since you love her so much, then go to the laundry room with your young lady."

Xia He was so anxious that tears rolled down her face, she turned her head to look at Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen shook her head, motioning her to stop talking.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

This kind of punishment will happen every once in a while, it's just a matter of how long it takes.

The only thing to do now is to keep silent.

"Xiliu, keep an eye on them, let them eat and live with the servants in the laundry room every day, and return to Ningbo Courtyard after a month, I'm only asking you if I miss one day!"

Xiliu said "yes", then turned to look at Jiang Zhen: "Miss, please."

Jiang Zhen got up and took a step back, "My daughter will leave."

Still polite and impeccable.

After leaving the Hanyu Courtyard, Jiang Zhen whispered to Xiliu, "Thank you, Aunt Xiliu."

If Xiliu hadn't let her out in time just now, I'm afraid her mother would have said more embarrassing things to her.

Xiliu was still unmoved, and replied lightly: "It should."

She has never been married in her life, and she treats the two young ladies as her own daughters, and no one is more important than the other.

It's just that I'm working under Madam's errand, so I still have to follow her orders to do things. I really have limited ability and can't help much.

Jiang Zhen didn't need much help from her, because she was very clear about her position in the General's Mansion.

However, she prefers the stable life now to being wandering at the border.

As long as there is a place to live, even if she is asked to wash clothes in the laundry room, it is fine.

The master and servant quickly packed up a few clothes and daily necessities, and came to the living room arranged by the laundry room. When they saw the dilapidated, narrow room full of cobwebs and dust, Xia He cried "Wow". come out.

"Miss, I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If I hadn't been so talkative, Madam wouldn't have punished you for coming to the laundry room."

Jiang Zhen patted her head helplessly, and comforted her, "Whether you help me or not, we have to come to this laundry room. It's not your fault."

Xia He sniffed, and said in doubt, "Really?"

"Really, so don't take the responsibility on yourself, but think about how to live in this kind of place for a month."

Xia He's emotions came and went quickly, and he just rolled up his sleeves.

Naturally, Jiang Zhen couldn't be idle, so she packed up with Xia He.

The two masters and servants worked together, and it took an hour to make the house look brand new. Although the furnishings were still simple, it was clean and tidy after all.

Before he could take a breath, the door was kicked open by someone, and the visitor was aggressive, especially after seeing Jiang Zhen.

"Hey, who am I supposed to be? It turns out to be the eldest lady, who was punished by the madam to experience the life of our servants again?"

Xia He was so angry that his teeth itched, Jiang Zhen stopped him with his eyes when he was about to speak.

"Hello, Aunt Chun, I will trouble you to take care of her in the future." Although Jiang Zhen had no expression on her face, her words were quite polite.

"I don't dare to take care of you, but since the eldest lady has come to me, I will naturally do my duty and treat everyone equally." Chunniang glanced at Jiang Zhen and Xia He contemptuously, "Don't be dazed, there are still a lot of clothes to be bought. Washing, are you going to be lazy here or let me invite you two out?"

"Don't dare to bother auntie, let's go wash it now." After Jiang Zhen finished speaking, she put the rag that she hadn't put down in her hand on the table, and went out without changing her clothes.

Xia He hurriedly followed, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Chun Niang.

In the past, when the lady came to the laundry room, she was not allowed to follow, so I didn't know that the steward here was so mean.

Thinking of the young lady's humble appearance just now, the tip of her nose felt sore.

Why does such a good lady have to suffer like this.

God is too unfair.
