Chapter 178 Jiang Lin Takes a Concubine
News of Wu Sunang's death caused quite a stir in the capital, with many people speculating on who killed him.
When Si Moli deliberately provoked him and provoked Jiang Miaodan's poisoning, Wu Sunang was already violent, suspicious and extremely confident, so he expected that he would use the golden cicada to escape from his shell and leave the protective circle. At this time, he wanted to kill him
It was easy for him.
Everyone was talking about it, but no one thought about King Li.
Some people suspect that Wu Sunang's death was just an accident.
"You said well, if the eldest prince of the Northern Li Kingdom stays in the team and has so many people protecting him, nothing will happen to him."
"That's right. Besides, the bandits in Pingde County used to be very troublesome. The eldest prince was dressed in rich clothes. Couldn't he be killed by the bandits?"
"How is that possible? You have forgotten that the year before last, the court specially sent an imperial envoy to lead troops to suppress the bandits. The bandits in Pingde County have long been gone."
"Yes, let me tell you, is there someone in the Northern Li Kingdom's royal family who doesn't want him to return to the country, so they took the opportunity to kill him?"
"Killed by people from the Northern Li Kingdom? Well, I think it's very possible..."
...
Nowadays, many people even cast suspicious eyes on the Hou Mansion. After all, Jiang Miaodan was once a favored young lady in the Hou Mansion, and Wu Sunang was caught having a secret meeting with his maid before getting married. It is very possible that he was insulted like this.
It means that the Hou Mansion pays to kill people.
Because of this incident, the gate of the Hou Mansion was closed all day long.
The people in the Hou Mansion had no intention of paying attention to the comments from the outside world. Anyway, those who purge themselves would purge themselves, and waiting for Dali Temple to find out the truth would naturally have nothing to do with them.
What made people in the Hou family even more upset was another thing: Jiang Lin took a concubine.
Jiang Miaodan finally returned to the Hou Mansion that day. When she arrived in her yard, she saw that all the servants had changed, and they stopped her from entering.
"Who are you? Did my brother arrange for you to clean the yard? Open your eyes and see, I am the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and this is my yard!" Jiang Miaodan became angry and started to quarrel with these servants.
"What's your yard? This is our aunt's yard!" A little maid didn't recognize her and shouted unyieldingly.
"Aunt? Hongyu? What a bitch. I just left and you dared to occupy my yard!" Jiang Miaodan snorted coldly and ordered the maid behind him to rush in directly.
The sound disturbed the room. There was a woman sitting on the couch inside, with a slim figure and wearing a light blue gauze dress. She frowned and asked, "What's going on outside? It's so noisy."
A maid walked in with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Auntie, it seems that the eldest lady is back."
"Didn't she go to Northern Li Kingdom with her relatives? How could she come back? Help me out and have a look." The woman was a little surprised. When she walked out of the house, she saw that the maid next to Jiang Miaodan and her own maid were already struggling with each other.
Jiang Miaodan was stunned when he saw her. She was not Hong Yu, but she felt a little familiar.
Jiang Lin also rushed over at this moment. Seeing the chaotic and noisy scene in front of him, his head hurt, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing! There is no way to sell them all!"
When the little maids heard this, they didn't dare to make a fuss. Everyone stopped, and their clothes were all torn to pieces.
"Brother, you're finally here. Who is this woman? She...how did she..." Jiang Miaodan stamped his feet, his eyes turning red: "I just left, and you gave me my yard."
other people."
Jiang Lin's face was a little gloomy. He just knew that Jiang Miaodan was back, and he felt bad. Now he is really making trouble.
Shen Shensi knew that there was a dispute here and ran over to watch the fun. Seeing Jiang Miaodan getting angry, she immediately got angry and said, "Miaodan, why are you back suddenly? Hey, Aunt Liu just came in and she took a fancy to you." The prince loved her so much that he asked her to move to your place."
Jiang Miaodan became even more angry after hearing this: "You live here, where can I live? My aunt is just a slave, but she dares to think about the master's yard. You have not recognized your position!"
Seeing that Aunt Liu's face was not good-looking, Shen Shensi finally let go of her recent depression.
Jiang Lin scolded sternly: "Miaodan, who taught you to talk like this? How dare you talk to others? How can you look like a lady now?"
At this moment, Aunt Liu stepped forward very sensibly and whispered to Jiang Lin: "It was my maid who was ignorant, and that caused the commotion. Your Majesty, don't blame the eldest lady. It's okay. Since the eldest lady is back, I Just give her the yard."
Then he turned to deep thought: "I need to trouble my wife to help me tidy up the yard again."
The words contained a general sense of gentleness and humility, but the sadness and loss in his brows made people feel heartbroken.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Lin pityed her even more: "Why, she wants to get married, Mei'er, you live here. Miao Dan, I haven't asked you yet, why did you sneak back?"
"Brother, I didn't run away secretly. Wu Sunang died and I won't marry." Jiang Miaodan frowned: "Aren't you happy at all to see me come back?"
Jiang Lin was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just forget it if you run away from your marriage. How dare you make up such a lie? Do you want the entire Hou Mansion to apologize for you?"
"Brother, I'm not talking nonsense. Wusun'ang is really dead, otherwise how could I come back!" Seeing Jiang Lin not believing it, Jiang Miaodan blamed her instead. He was anxious and angry, and tears fell down.
Although Shen Shensi didn't like Jiang Miaodan, she was more willing to see Jiang Miaodan and Aunt Liu fight, so she pretended to be happy: "It's good that Miaodan can come back, but how can the eldest prince be such a good man?"
As she said that, she looked towards Aunt Liu, with a trace of ridicule in her eyes, and her voice was still gentle: "This courtyard belongs to Miao Dan, and I wanted to keep it for Miao Dan at first, but... why did Aunt Liu say anything? There are still many courtyards in the mansion, and I will definitely arrange another one for you."
Jiang Miaodan also raised his head proudly, his eyes signaling Aunt Liu to leave quickly.
"Okay, don't say anything. Sisi, please arrange another yard for Mei'er, closer to my yard." Jiang Lin was a little irritated. He left after giving the order and wanted to investigate Wusun'ang's affairs. .
When Shen Shensi heard Jiang Lin's words, she felt a little bitter in her heart. She turned around and followed the arrangements he said. It was indeed very close to Jiang Lin's yard, but it was small and shabby because it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Liu Mei was a tolerant person and moved in without complaining. She even took the soft mattress from the bed and only lit a few candles.
When Jiang Lin came in the evening, he found that the room was dark and small, and the bed was cold and hard. He immediately took Liu Mei back to his yard and arranged for someone to change rooms tomorrow. He was so angry that Shensi didn't sleep all night.
Han Shuang inquired about these changes in the Hou Mansion and informed Shen Qingyun.
Her expression was a little strange, and her words were hesitant.
"What's wrong? But something else is wrong." Shen Qingyun looked at her like this and knew that she had something to say.
