257 Everyone's Chaos
A strong wind hit her ears, Jiang Yao's expression condensed, and then she quickly turned around. Her movements were very neat, and even wearing a cumbersome Zhu Chai on her head did not hinder her performance.
Qingluan could almost only see her and Bai Bai fighting against each other, the strong wind making a sound, in a small area of the room.
This was the first time Qingluan saw Jiang Yao's back. She was able to compete with Bai Zhou, which showed that her kung fu was not weak, but maybe she still had some scruples. In the end, with a "bang", the two of them retreated.
After three steps, he stopped.
When Jiang Yao heard Duke Lu's decision, her face twisted with anger. She thought she had forced Wei Qingluan to a dead end, but she didn't expect that Wei Qingluan would fall off the cliff without forgetting to pull her.
If she can't marry Shangguan Jue, then what's the point of everything she does.
It had been ten days since he returned to Beijing from Daxiang Temple. All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky. Qingluan thought that the old prince should find her at least once. After all, no matter what decision he made, he should tell her, but he was waiting for Taoyuan.
ten days,
He didn't even wait for the old prince's response, which made Qingluan feel strange and uneasy. On the other hand, there was no response after his letter was sent to the northwest, which made Qingluan have to look elsewhere.
think.
It is better to make people think that the girls of the Chiang family are vicious and treasonous, which will further affect the reputation of Empress Chiang in the palace.

"Even without such an incident, our relationship with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is only mediocre. Wei Che is just a young boy who can't achieve much. He has been high-profile recently. Now we just wait.
When Yuan gives birth to an heir, no family will be able to surpass our Duke of Lu in the future." Jiang Yi's eyes sparkled with ambition, which was his lifelong pursuit.
The truth about the prince’s concubine being kidnapped in the Daxiang Temple is that the second daughter of the Jiang family fell in love with the prince of Qin, and in order to make Wei Qingluan make room for her, she single-handedly took charge of the kidnapping drama.
, and suddenly even the Jiang family was thrust into the spotlight of public opinion.
Of course, they also have a way to refute the rumors, that is, Jiang Yao will get married immediately and act like she has never coveted the position of the Crown Princess of Qin. However, for Jiang Yao, I am afraid that this will be more uncomfortable than killing her. This dilemma is
It was Qingluan's fierce counterattack against the Jiang family's scheme.
Duke Lu's face suddenly darkened. The Jiang family's educational attitude towards the younger generation is not to look at birth but only ability. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you are a boy or a girl, as long as you have the ability and intelligence, you can sit here.
Lu Guogong's wife naturally saw the anger of Lu Guogong, and made peace with her: "Ayao, your uncle is also thinking about you. Do you think it is that person who is spreading the news now?
Wei Qingluan vacated the position of Prince Qin’s concubine, so what do you do?
I guarantee that Prince Qin and the Crown Prince of Qin will fall in love with you. They are not fools, and their work is not perfect. They can find out even if they can't find evidence to prove you, but how can they not have a grudge in their hearts?
Well, how can I accept you?"
Before Jiang Yuan entered the palace to become the queen, the Duke's Palace of Lu was still a little behind the Marquis of Weiyuan's Palace. But now, relying on the excellence of his descendants, the Duke's Palace of Lu has surpassed the Marquis of Weiyuan's Palace. This makes
Duke Lu was very pleased.
Jiang Yao's expression relaxed slightly, and she heard Mrs. Lu Guogong say again: "Otherwise, let's wait until this wave of public opinion has passed. During this period, you should stay at home and don't go out."
After the carriage returned to Prince Qin's Mansion, Qingluan heard that Taoyuan was staying behind closed doors.
In just three or two days, the incident at Daxiang Temple spread a lot, and there were many versions about Qingluan being kidnapped by thieves. But in the end, the eldest concubine of Prince Qin's palace became the laughing stock of the entire Beijing.
Two days later, more breaking news came out.
An unmarried girl made such a scheme for a man who already had a wife. She was so cruel that she pushed the Jiang family to the cliff. If Jiang Yao really becomes the next Crown Princess of Qin in the future, then what will happen now?
Now this rumor has become true. How many people will remember Jiang Yao's unscrupulous methods, and how many people will remember the viciousness of the Jiang family girls. Even Empress Jiang, who is a virtuous and virtuous woman who can be regarded as a model for women in the world, will also remember.
implicated.
Jiang Yao's dissatisfaction with his arrangement at this time was obviously not in line with his family management philosophy. However, Jiang Yao was only a niece, and his uncle could not be particularly strict with her, so he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Just as Qingluan expected, this second increasingly lively news brought a lot of trouble to the Jiang family. At the same time, it also caused unprecedented disagreements within the Jiang family.
"Who made the marriage arrangements? Did they take my words to heart?" When the Jiang family's matchmaker came to the door, the old prince realized that Shangguan Jing and the third child of the Jiang family had actually handed back the Geng Tie, which made him feel sad.
He was extremely annoyed. The old prince was always a man of his word in the northwest military camp. Who knew that when he returned home, some people would not take his words seriously.
As the leader of a family, Duke Lu certainly understands the importance of family unity to the revitalization of the family. Therefore, he requires his children and grandchildren to put the interests of the family first no matter what, even at the expense of himself when necessary.
No matter what.
Among the girls of the Jiang family, only the former Empress Jiang and the current Jiang Yao can sit side by side with their men to discuss the family's development plans.
"Young? I thought she was a good child at first. After A-Yuan entered the palace, there was no girl in the family with outstanding intelligence and means. I thought we could have a second A-Yuan in our family, but who knew it was for the love of our children?
People who always ignore the overall situation." Lu Guogong was still angry after thinking about it, and placed the tea cup in his hand heavily on the coffee table.
Jiang Yao's eyes were gloomy, and she stared coldly at the day for a while, then moved her eyes to Qingluan, and finally waved her hand and left.
For the Jiang family, the most important thing now is Empress Chiang in the palace. At this time, such a rumor must not affect Empress Chiang's prestige. Therefore, Duke Lu's intention is to give up the position of the Crown Princess of Qin first. Jiang Aojie has already agreed.
Guan Jing returned Geng Tie, and the two families were already related by marriage. The position of Prince Consort of Qin was the icing on the cake. Of course, even if she didn't, it didn't matter much.
She knew very well that her thoughts were not worth mentioning compared to Empress Chiang's reputation. In order to quell the rumors and not affect Empress Chiang in the palace, the family would definitely give up the plan to win over Qin Wang's crown prince.
The Prince's Palace had other methods, but Empress Chiang was the foundation for their entire family to become the first aristocratic family, and they could not tolerate any harm.

Qingluan finally returned to Shangjing with Empress Chiang and the others. No matter how tyrannical Empress Chiang was, she could not force him to stay in the Daxiang Temple.
"Uncle, I like Shangguan Jue, and I will not give in to the position of the Crown Princess of Qin." Jiang Yao looked at Duke Lu firmly.
Duke Lu Guo always felt that his niece was capable, talented, and beautiful, but he did not expect that she would directly refute him in front of so many people. This not only provoked the face of the head of his family, but also
I feel that this niece is too impulsive and would actually oppose the family's arrangements for the sake of a man.
Mrs. Lu Guogong analyzed the stakes bit by bit, and it was much better than Duke Lu's straightforward orders. At least she sounded like she was thinking about Jiang Yao.
Of course, what Qingluan didn't know was that the old prince was facing his first family conflict since returning to Beijing.
But how could she be convinced? After planning for so long, they agreed to her plan at the beginning, but why did they have to sacrifice her happiness and her wishes in the end?
The Duke of Lu, Jiang Yi, was in his early fifties. He was known as a Confucian general when he was young. The good genes of the Jiang family in terms of appearance were inherited from him, and it was only in his generation that the Duke of Lu gained such a reputation.
Mrs. Lu Guogong sighed: "Okay, don't get so angry. As I said, it is also A Yao's wishful thinking. The marriage is a matter between both parties. Even if they don't agree, what does A Yao have to do?
What's the solution? It's just that we are at odds with the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. At this time, we must not let the Weiyuan Hou Mansion do anything to affect the empress in the palace."
Of course, this second news was released by Qingluan. He had been tricked once, so he couldn't suffer this loss in vain. What's more, it wasn't a rumor. For the Jiang family, there was a queen.
Being there, of course, you still need to have a reputation.
How could the Duke of Lu's wife, who had been married to the Duke of Lu for many years, not understand his thoughts? Only gentle persuasion at this time could make the Duke of Lu calm down.
"Master Guo, please don't be angry. A-Yao is still young after all, and her thoughts are with Shangguan Jue, so she would speak out against you." After everyone had dispersed, Duke Lu personally served tea.
To the solemn-looking Duke of Lu.
Jiang Yao nodded stiffly, but her lower lip almost bled from being bitten by herself. She really hated it. She thought that as long as Wei Qingluan's reputation was ruined, a woman like her would commit suicide without shame.
She was crying all day long and was helpless, but she actually arranged a counterattack, even putting the Jiang family and her in a dilemma.
Shangguan Yu and Chen were juniors, and they looked trembling with fear in the face of the old prince's anger.
For the first time, Concubine Xiao did not use her tears to attack, but sat silently on the side, her head lowered without saying a word.
