Chapter 143
Jiang Yanyi thought this was done by the doctor surnamed An, who was not aware of the world.
But as the soldiers who watched An Suqiu leave in the military camp that day came out to refute the rumors, indicating that An Suqiu left himself and was not driven away by Jiang Yanyi, it was heard among the people that the soldiers said so just because they were coerced by Jiang Yanyi. Moreover, these sounds were even more and more loud as if they were snowballing, and it was obvious that someone was deliberately guiding them behind the scenes.
Jiang Yanyi finally realized something was wrong. An Suqiu, a little doctor, did not have such great ability.
She sent someone to secretly investigate the source of the rumors, but the results she got were all told by An Suqiu and several aunts next door.
The caliber is so unified, it is obvious that someone borrowed An Suqiu's knife and wanted to stab a bloody hole in her body.
As for this purpose, it goes without saying.
She is the princess who has not passed by Feng Shuo. Although Chu Changping's power is not great now, it should not be underestimated. There is also Chu Chengmao who is a rising star, and there are few who can surpass her in the family.
She went south with her medicinal herbs and made a lot of reputation. The only stain nowadays is probably the lies An Suqiu brought out.
The other party expanded the stain infinitely. Even if she could not shake her status as a quasi-princess, she would be able to pull out the fictitious stain and pour it on her to the fullest.
And the beneficiaries behind this scene are naturally those girls of the aristocratic families waiting to rise to power.
The prestigious families in Hengzhou can only count them with one hand. Jiang Yanyi selected several families in the family that were about to marry their daughter, and asked Yang Xiubing Shao to check who the servants had contacted with recently.
After a targeted investigation, the results were quickly found. A woman in charge of the Hengzhou military affairs officer who was engaged in the family lived in the same street as An Suqiu. She could hear what An Suqiu said to slander Jiang Yanyi. She turned around and said to the woman who worked with the military affairs officer as a joke. She happened to be heard by the mistress of the family.
If you have a daughter who is waiting in the boudoir at home, it will be Feng Shuo sooner or later. Officials from Hengzhou, all the big and small, have more or less the intention to dedicate their daughter to Feng Shuo, but Feng Shuo has never let go.
The mistress of the Bing Cao family felt that it was only a matter of time before her daughter followed Feng Shuo. Why not do it before her wedding?
He ordered people to fan the flames and spread An Suqiu's lies to everyone, and tried to ruin Jiang Yanyi's reputation.
Yang Xiu and Bing Shao tied up the manager of the military Cao family and came back. Jiang Yanyi didn't say anything and asked someone to take him to Feng Shuo.
The other party's family had an involvement with the military camp, so she sent the person over. How to deal with it depends on how Feng Shuo considered it.
The manager of the military officer of the Military Controller was arrested, and he did not dare to have any trouble. He even took a proud gift to the royal palace to pay homage to Jiang Yanyi, but unfortunately Jiang Yanyi was not willing to receive him.
Without the behind-the-scenes pushers, the voices of defending Jiang Yanyi finally gained the upper hand.
An Suqiu's lies were exposed. She had always been a strong-willed person, and now she was criticized for buying vegetables when she went out.
Some bratty young wives even sarcastically mocked her in the street:
"Some people think they are pretty, but they are on the verge of going to the barracks to cure diseases and save people, but they are secretly at ease but don't know what they think! What is Miss Chu's identity and mind? Compared with others, they don't look in the mirror to see if she is worthy!"
"I abandoned so many injured soldiers and left the barracks with anger, and said that it was Miss Chu who drove people away. All the soldiers in the barracks came out to refute the rumors. After all, they were still a doctor. Why is this heart so bad? Who dares to see her in the future?"
"The plaque of the clinic that her family passed down from generation to generation caused her to get dirty!"
Rumors are like a knife that hurts when it is stabbed on someone. When it falls on him, An Suqiu can feel what it is called.
She couldn't help crying after returning home.
She told the couple of aunts next door that day that day that she was just angry for a moment. The subsequent events turned out to be known to the whole city, which was something she didn't expect.
Thinking that he had brought shame to the family and had no shame to stay in Hengzhou City in the future, An Suqiu felt sad and planned to bear fruit with a white silk.
It was also a coincidence that Jiang Yanyi asked Yang Xiu to take the silver notes to find An Suqiu that day. Now that the medicines she used was in a hurry to use, it was impossible for the medicinal materials she donated to the military camp to return them intact. Jiang Yanyi converted them to silver notes at the market price, and only thought they were the medicinal materials bought from her by the military camp.
Yang Xiu asked about the road, and after reaching An Suqiu's house, he knocked on the door several times, but no one responded. Now there was a lot of scolding An Suqiu. He thought that An Suqiu might be unfair to the infamous, so he immediately broke the door and found that An Suqiu was hanging in his clinic.
So Yang Xiu broke into the door in time, and there were still people to save him.
It was about to cause death, and the scolding in the crowd still calmed down. The aunts next door watched An Suqiu grow up. Seeing that this daughter was about to be on the dead end, they took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of her.
Yang Xiu handed over the silver notes that Jiang Yanyi had given to An Suqiu to An Suqiu in front of the onlookers, and asked the aunt to hand them over to An Suqiu after An Suqiu woke up, and then returned to the palace to report the matter to Jiang Yanyi.
Jiang Yanyi had thought that An Suqiu had planned these rumors himself, but now she understood that they were all tricks of the military envoys. An Suqiu did say those words badly, but she was pushed to the forefront later.
Now the military family is backing away from the rumors, but An Suqiu is the only one who has suffered the counterattack of the rumors. In a sense, she is also a victim.
People are looking for a mistake, and Jiang Yanyi doesn't want to pursue it anymore.
But people always have to bear the consequences for the mistakes they make. An Suqiu lost all her reputation in Hengzhou City, which was also a punishment for her.
Feng Shuo quickly responded to Jiang Yanyi, and the errand that he had originally planned to send the military officer to another subordinate, but the military officer instead took a leisure servant in management and logistics, and there was no hope of getting military merits and promotion in the future.
The military officer was puzzled and ran to Xing Yao to find out. Only then did he learn that his wife had done those stupid things. He was angry for a moment. After returning home, he had a big argument with his wife. At this point, he was distracted. The military officer regretted it and did not mention it.
What Jiang Yanyi didn't expect was that after An Suqiu recovered from illness, she came to the palace to pay her respects in person.
Chen Yu and Jiang Yanyi muttered: "She still has the face to see you?"
Jiang Yanyi said: "Forgive others when you have to. Teenage girls will have times when they do something wrong, so let's see her."
Chen Yu stuck out his tongue: "You are just kind-hearted, aren't you just in your early sixteen years old?"
Jiang Yanyi smiled and said nothing. She had lived in her 20s in her previous life. She had met many people of all kinds in society. Compared with the ancient women who never went out of the door for their entire lives, they were more mature in terms of life experience and mind.
After Jiang Yanyi's words, the subordinates of the royal family attracted An Suqiu to see her.
The summer is hot and the war conditions in Hengzhou are limited. Jiang Yanyi leaned half on the bamboo recliner to read a book while Shen Yu fanned her, and dressed up casually because she had outstanding appearance and temperament. For a moment, she couldn't take her eyes off her eyes.
After entering the room, An Suqiu looked at Jiang Yanyi in a daze for a while. After Chen Yu mentioned her with a calm face, he remembered to salute Jiang Yanyi, "The folk girl has met Miss Chu."
"No need to be polite. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so sit down." Jiang Yanyi raised her jaw slightly and signaled to the Xiudun sitting beside her. The book in her hand turned a page and asked in a lazily tone: "I don't know what the hell is going to come to my house today?"
An Suqiu's complexion was much worse than Jiang Yanyi's first time seeing her. It was obvious that she was trapped by the scolding before and was depressed. Now the pride that showed its sharpness between her eyebrows was gone, but there was a sense of tenacity.
She looked at Jiang Yanyi, and her eyes were gone without the hostility before, and she was only ashamed. "I came here today for two things. One is to apologize to Miss Chu. I used to be obsessed with my wickedness and slandered Miss Chu. After experiencing rumors and life and death, I know what it feels like. Now when I think about it, I am really ashamed."
Jiang Yanyi had a look of surprise in her eyes and said, "Let the past go over and look forward to everything."
An Suqiu's eyes were red due to shame, "Miss Xie Chu is magnanimous. The second thing is that I want to thank Miss Chu. If Miss Chu's people had not saved me that day, maybe I would be in the Hall of Yama. I am not afraid of Miss Chu's jokes. My father has despised me for not being a son since he was a child and would not be able to inherit the family business in the future. I have warned myself since I was a child that I cannot do anything worse than a man."
"I can't play with girls of the same age. They think I don't have a daughter's house and don't bother with men and women when treating people. I'm afraid I won't get married in the future. I thought they would only revolve around a man in this life, but I still want to marry into the high-ranking house in the future, so that those people can never talk about it anymore..."
"The prince is a great hero. Who does the world do not like heroes? I admire the prince's reputation. Although Senior Hu asked me to help the prince decoct and change the medicine, I actually never even saw the prince's face. Occasionally I went to deliver medicine, and I heard the guards at the door of the military tent say that the prince was busy and did not eat on time. Only Miss Chu was there, I persuaded the prince when I was there. At that time, I was curious about who you were."
"Later, you traveled thousands of miles south to transport medicinal materials. The soldiers were all grateful for your righteousness. I was really jealous when I saw you for the first time in the Injury Camp. My prominent family background and beautiful appearance can still do this for the prince..." An Suqiu said this and smiled bitterly: "No one in this world is more worthy of the prince than you."
Jiang Yanyi didn't know how to answer this, so he simply didn't say anything, just complaining to Feng Shuo's guy who attracted bees and butterflies in his heart.
An Suqiu looked even more guilty: "After leaving the military camp, I was so blinded by jealousy that I said nonsense. The things turned out like this, which I didn't expect. In the end, I suffered a bad consequence. I wanted to die. Thanks to the people sent by Miss Chu, I could continue to live in the world."
She returned the silver notes that Jiang Yanyi had sent to Yang Xiu intact. "I was willing to donate those medicinal materials. From the beginning, I just wanted to do my best to the soldiers who guard the Daxuan territory with their lives. I can't accept these silver notes."
Jiang Yan sighed when she saw her like this: "Doctor Hu told me that you have a lot of wisdom in medical skills and can get to this day step by step. You have escaped from the world from the beginning. Why should you use the world to bind yourself now? Don't lose your original intention. When I first arrived at Hengzhou Daying, the soldiers of the Injury Camp respected you, not because of your identity, but because of your medical skills. Ordinary women take care of your husband and children, and Doctor An, you treat and save people. These are two different ways and there is no need to compare."
An Suqiu was so tearful that she was talking to Jiang Yanyi. She wiped her eyes in a mess with her sleeves and said, "Miss Chu said that I used to claim to be noble, but I didn't know that I had fallen into the world. I finally realized that I was shallow on paper. I have planned to leave Hengzhou and go out for a walk, travel around to cure diseases and save people, and I can always gain some knowledge."
Seeing An Suqiu away, Jiang Yanyi was quite happy about An Suqiu's transformation.
She is not the heart of the Virgin. The other party slandered her badly, and it is not an unforgivable sin. Now she has received the punishment she deserves, and it is also good to wake up and pursue the life she wants.
In the evening, it suddenly rained heavily. The sun had not yet set. The glow in the sky was dazzling, and the raindrops as big as beans hit the bluestone floor in the yard.
Farmers say that when it rains brightly, mushrooms are growing in the mountains.
Jiang Yanyi was chatting with Huo Jianjia and Chenyu and then went to the nearby mountain to pick mushrooms after half a month. The servants of the royal palace suddenly reported that Feng Shuo was back.
Since she arrived in Hengzhou, Feng Shuo had only three meals a day before he could return home. Today was half an hour earlier than usual.
She went out to greet him, and just turned around the corridor and ran into him.
Jiang Yanyi smiled and said, "I cooked the soup on the stove with Shichen. I'm afraid I have to wait half an hour to get better."
The rain was heavy, and water droplets dripped down the eaves of the corridor. Most of the stuffy air was taken away by the rain. When the wind swept through the corridor, Jiang Yanyi felt a hint of chill.
Feng Shuo stepped forward and took her hand and walked into the room. This was the first time he was so close to Jiang Yanyi in front of others.
After entering the room, Jiang Yanyi poured tea for her and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Feng Shuo hesitated for a while before asking, "Ayi, do you want to be the queen?"
Jiang Yanyi smiled and said, "Since I have decided to follow you, no matter which path you go in the future, I will be by your side. Whether you want to live in this world or to break up the land and become a king, my identity is just your wife."
Feng Shuo hugged her hard, "Ayi, it's great to have you."
Jiang Yanyi gently used his white fingertips to comb his hair on his sideburns, "What happened?"
Feng Shuo said: "All princes want the court to send troops to resist the Minghan Kingdom."
Jiang Yan saw that he looked tired, and moved his fingertips to help him rub the position of his temples, and asked: "The court wants you to bow your head and surrender?"
Feng Shuo nodded: "Although the palace has been hiding the news that the new emperor was seriously ill, the spies from the capital came to report that the eldest princess summoned the six-year-old Prince Huai to the palace not long ago. The new emperor obviously couldn't hold on for long, and the eldest princess was choosing the young emperor."
The biological mother of King Huai was just a palace maid, and the Huai lineage had no power or power. Princess Dazang supported the prince of King Huai ascended the throne, which was quite a bit of a threat to the emperor to command the princes.
As soon as Feng Shiyan died, the things he and the Gao family did to fight for the throne, which were angry and resentful, followed.
If Feng Shuo wants to seize the throne, he must return to the capital before the young emperor selected by the eldest princess ascends the throne.
But now that foreign enemies are facing each other, once he withdraws his troops, not only will Hengzhou fall, but the gate to the south of Daxuan is simply open to the outside world.
Besides, it is not a solution to consume his troops alone.
Jiang Yanyi asked him back: "Feng Shuo, do you want this world?"
Feng Shuo held her hand and put it on his lips and kissed her gently, "I don't want my mother to go back to the palace anymore, nor do I want you to suffer any grievances."
It seems that the court gave him a choice now, but if he gives a try, he will not have no chance of winning by winning the capital.
However, the place in the palace had no good memories for him and the Taihuang Concubine. Instead, he was worried that the Taihuang Concubine would worsen when she returned to the palace.
Years of war have made the people suffer. Rampant migration is a major project that wastes the people and causes money, and it is impossible to move within the short term.
The stupid things the women in the military family under his command also made Feng Shuo's house angry.
He has not yet been promoted to emperor, so there are people who are so unyielding. If he really becomes the emperor in the future and Jiang Yanyi is the only one in the harem, there will be ministers who put pressure on Jiang Yanyi on the surface, and secretly they don’t know how many tricks there are.
Feng Shuoguang felt disgusted even when he thought about it.
