Chapter 75 Wind Direction
Jiang Yuebai didn't know what Su Yiqing was thinking. Looking at her distracted look, he thought she was still scared, so he said: "Now you understand why I am so nervous? Your marriage is really too conspicuous, and many people want to replace it.
The powerful families sometimes resort to very despicable means to grab a good match, and it's not just for the sake of marriage. General Zhao, a young hero, will inevitably be jealous, and you will be doomed if you make even the slightest mistake."
Although Jiang Yuebai didn't socialize much in these years, she still knew a lot of things. She was smart, and she could think clearly with just a few hints from others.
Su Yiqing understood that she had already experienced the matter of competing for a good marriage. It was like this between sisters in a family, and other families would not show mercy. Also, returning home with a great victory this time, although it was a good thing for the country and the people,
But it is not the case for some officials, especially those who strongly advocate peace as the most important thing. She does not need to listen to what others say. She knows that once there is a war, civilian officials will definitely be suppressed by military commanders. The same is true for civil servants and military commanders in the court.
hostile.
Everything today is really strange. The finger pointing is too obvious. It seems to be Sun's intention. However, she feels that it is too obvious to be Sun's doing. If her reputation is ruined, someone will be responsible. Sun
She was the first to bear the brunt, and the Princess Mansion could not protect her. On the contrary, if Princess An Ning was more cruel, she would push her out to bear everything, and the Shen family and the Sun family could not escape.
She was granted a marriage by imperial decree, and if something happened, the emperor would be disgraced. It was not her fault. It was inappropriate to marry Zhao Boyang in an unclean name, but let the marriage be abandoned like this. Pass her to that person.
Sun Dongxing was also unfair and easily criticized. He couldn't find a way to get the best of both worlds, so he could only severely punish the relevant people. The saying that when the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would be laid to rest was no exaggeration in ancient times, let alone a little princess.
Where is the mansion?
If it's not Sun, who is the person behind the scenes? What is the motive?
This kind of game is really exquisite, and it can be said that the score is accurate. However, it is also very dangerous. There are too many chess pieces and many families involved. One move can affect the whole body. If someone finds out, the consequences will be disastrous. In order to get rid of her
, this kind of risk is too great, it is better to find someone to assassinate or poison directly on the road. No matter whether it is successful or not, let the assassin commit suicide afterwards and it will be over.
Seeing her distracted look, Jiang Yuebai comforted her for a long time and then left.
Xin'er let the little maid support her and came over to visit. She looked remorseful and said that she should have followed anyway. If she followed, ten Miss Shen San would not be her opponents.
Listening to these innocent and silly words, Su Yiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and in turn had to comfort the girl.
For several days, nothing happened to her. Some of her seven aunts and eight aunts heard about this incident from somewhere and came to the house to visit. Su Yiqing was upset and asked Xu and Jiang Yuebai to deal with it.
Anyway, those people's excuse was to visit a sick person, and it was not easy for a sick and unmarried girl to come and socialize.
Sisters Su Yixian and Su Yiya, on the other hand, went out together that day and became a little familiar with Su Yiqing. With Mrs. Cen's tacit permission, they also imitated Su Yixi and came here three times a day and told her some gossip from outside.
On this day, Su Yixian mentioned: "Mother Li said that Princess An Ning disposed of the Sun family and took the two children she gave birth to into her own house."
Su Yiya said: "Mrs. Shen from Shilang Shen's Mansion also came here. It was Mrs. Tai who asked to see her. She said that Miss Shen Rou was just frightened for a moment and did not push Miss Ninth on purpose. Please don't be offended by Miss Ninth. Mrs. Tai I didn't see her at all, and asked the second lady to greet her, and the second lady returned the gifts sent by the Shen family intact."
It was Mrs. Cen who asked to see Mrs. Cen, not Mrs. Xu, which meant that the wife of the minister actually looked down on Mrs. Xu and was as ignorant as her daughter. Mrs. Cen recommended her to the second lady instead of the eldest lady, let alone Xu. Mrs. Xu, this is also a slap in the face. After all, the first lady is the head of the family in the uncle's house and the wife of the clan. The second lady is more noble than Mrs. Xu in terms of status, but in reality, she has a distant relationship with Su Yiqing.
The people here mentioned that Aunt Zhou had been telling Su Yiqing all day long that Shilang Shen was a scholar, so he must be a human being to achieve such a high position. Mrs. Cen was telling them tactfully, not intentionally, Yuan Ping Uncle Mansion I am very dissatisfied. If Shilang Shen was smart enough and didn't want to offend anyone, he should come up with a remedial plan instead of saying it was not intentional.
On the surface, Mrs. Cen was trying to help Su Yiqing, but she was actually protecting the reputation of the Yuanping Mansion and telling others that the Yuanping Mansion was not a dough that everyone could knead.
Thinking of this, Su Yiqing secretly laughed at herself. After living in such an environment for a long time, she was accustomed to guessing people's hearts when encountering problems to judge whether there was a conspiracy. This has almost become a conditioned reflex. Maybe not long after, her own behavior will be the same. Calculating it step by step like this is really terrible. Even if you live to the age of Mrs. Cen, you still have to work so hard.
While talking to the sisters, the little maid came to report that the fifth aunt's grandma was here.
The curtain was lifted at random, and Su Yihua's smiling face was revealed, and she let out a sweet laugh: "The sisters are all here, so I can save you the trouble of searching for them one by one."
"Fifth sister." The girls saluted one by one.
Su Yiqing slapped Su Yihua. Her clothes seemed to be the same as before, nothing special, but her spirit was completely different. Her previous grievances and worries were gone, and she was in high spirits. It seemed that she was also the beneficiary of this incident. She I have always been smart, so I will naturally seize the opportunity and make demands of my husband's family.
The Princess Mansion needs this daughter-in-law to deal with it. It originally wanted to make friends with Zhao Boyang and the Zhenguo Palace behind him by befriending her sister, but now it has become an offense and a design. Even if all the blame is put on the Sun family, the Princess Mansion She cannot be exempted from the responsibility of negligence, and after all, Sun has two sons. As long as she does not cause an irreparable tragedy, as long as she does not pursue this matter, she can easily get over it.
Otherwise, as long as she said a few words outside, there would be no need to add any embarrassment. To be honest, even without Zhao Boyang, a lady from a wealthy family was framed by someone in the Princess Mansion and almost ruined her reputation. This incident was enough to disgrace the Princess Mansion. No other family in the future The young lady or madam dares to enter the princess's mansion.
If she, the client, does not pursue the case, even if some rumors get out, it will have some impact, but it will just be hearsay. There are so many rumors in the capital that no one will take it seriously.
To make up for this matter, Su Yihua needs to deal with it. Su Yiqing is just a little girl. If the Yuanping Palace does not pursue the matter, the matter can be easily revealed. On the contrary, the Yuanping Palace insists on pursuing it and finds the culprit. If you are the culprit, things will be very troublesome.
Su Yihua brought a bunch of gifts, jewelry, cloth and medicinal materials.
"Sister Ninth, the Princess Mansion was negligent in what happened this time. My mother-in-law is very guilty. If it weren't for her poor health, she would have come to apologize in person. I stopped her. Ninth Sister thought of being generous and unexpectedly That's it, Sister Ninth will not be concerned about it, but she is still worried and insists on asking me to bring a gift." Su Yihua said polite words while observing Su Yiqing's expression.
The smile on Su Yiqing's face was faint, and she did not continue her topic, but suddenly said: "I wonder what medicinal materials the princess mansion sent to Miss Shen Er?"
Second Miss Shen and Su Yihua were stunned for a moment. It was Third Miss Shen who was causing trouble. It was too late for the Princess Mansion to complain about the Shen family, so why would they care about them?
It's just that now everyone is pushing this matter into an accident, and can't explicitly say how the Shen family is. In this way, Miss Shen Er can barely be considered a victim. She just said that Su Yiqing is generous, so she doesn't blame the Shen family. Poor Miss Shen Er is also there.
Su Yihua secretly thought that it was a mistake. They received the news that Mrs. Shen Shilang was treated coldly in the uncle's house, so they decided to ignore the Shen family. Otherwise, if Miss Shen's family caused such a thing, the princess's house would still be asking for help. It is inevitable that people will misunderstand.
Now it seems that Su Yiqing is not the same thing to Miss Shen Er and Miss Shen San, especially when the mother-in-law said that Miss Shen fell into the lake to save Su Yiqing. However, Su Yiqing did not take the initiative to mention it in the flower hall. This time, no one dared to mention this matter, for fear that Su Yiqing would misunderstand that the Princess Mansion wanted to impose this life-saving grace on her.
Now Su Yiqing suddenly asks, how should she answer? It can't be said that they are too lazy to care about the life and death of Miss Shen Er?
When Su Yiqing saw this, she sneered in her heart. She had thought about it many times before. Since she didn't want to be stigmatized by falling into the water, she had to accept Miss Shen Er's feelings. Speaking of which, Miss Shen Er was just a little arrogant, but she was also a pitiful person. people.
"I accepted the gift from the Princess Mansion, but since it was given to me, do you want to let me handle it?" Su Yiqing asked softly.
"Of course, of course." Su Yihua said repeatedly.
"Then please, Aunt Zhou, please help sort out the gifts and send them to Mr. Shen's house for Miss Shen Er." Su Yiqing ordered Aunt Zhou.
"Yes, Miss Ninth." Aunt Zhou didn't even look at Su Yihua. She lowered her head and led the little maid to carry the gifts out.
Su Yihua's face looked a little ugly. Although Su Yiqing didn't say it clearly, her move was obviously a sign of affection for Second Miss Shen, and she believed that Second Miss Shen had saved her.
This generous gift from the Princess Mansion was a free gift. They made a wedding dress for someone else, but they didn't appreciate it. They gained a reputation of being a follower of others, and they couldn't make a mistake.
They themselves said it was an accident. Since it was an accident, Miss Shen Er was the victim. It would be too cold to ignore it.
Su Yihua seemed to have just met Su Yiqing for the first time. She had always thought that this sister was a bit withdrawn, sometimes soft-hearted, and not good at sociability. Today, for the first time, she felt that this sister was very scheming, acted unexpectedly, and had no scruples. No wonder her grandmother I don’t like Ninth Sister. (To be continued.
