3. Chapter 3 Don't Mess with the Prime Minister's Lady
"You, you, let me go quickly. Do you know who I am? The Three Evils in the Capital!" The leading man was tied up like that. He was still staring and said arrogantly: "Let us go. You killed my second brother.
The matter will not be investigated, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Jiang Suxi pushed away the maid's hand that was supporting her, stood firm, took the knife from the maid, stepped forward, and without a word, stabbed down their third brother's hand.
One hand was chopped off, and the pain caused the man to scream heartbreakingly.
"Brother, are you going to do this?" Jiang Suxi cut off the man's hand and took the knife back. The light in his eyes became colder. Before the leading man could answer, he said again: "Oh, this
The knife is too heavy, and even if you cut the head, it will cut off, which is boring." She turned to the maid: "Shall we do it again?"
A smell of irritation spread into his nostrils, and the man who was so arrogant just now was so frightened that he peed his pants: "Don't, don't, say, I say! It was your sister, Miss Fifth, who asked us to do it, and gave us one hundred taels of silver.
, let us first...rape first and then kill..."
"So that's it," Jiang Suxi said with a smile, "then, thank you for telling me."
"Kill the living ones, cut off the three heads and take them away! I'll go out and get some fresh air." Jiang Suxi said to the maid, and walked out of the hut while rubbing her temples.
Outside the hut, there is a wasteland. The used bricks and stones from the construction are scattered on the ground. Very tall weeds have grown up, and there are insects chirping in the grass.
Looking up, the sunset is thousands of miles away and extremely gorgeous.
It is summer in this world, and the wind blowing at night is very cool. Jiang Suxi stood there, quietly breathing the fresh air of mud and grass for a while. There was a dull pain in her head. She frowned, and the sound of footsteps came,
The maid came over, and the man's clothes wrapped the severed head, and the blood soaked into the cloth and fell into the soil drop by drop.
"Put such dirty things on the ground first. I have something to tell you." Jiang Suxi walked forward, found a relatively clean large stone in the grass, and sat down.
The maid was stunned for a moment, put down her things, walked over and stood in front of Jiang Suxi.
"You sit down," Jiang Suxi pointed to the stone next to the maid: "It's just the two of us who will live the rest of our lives, so we can avoid those common etiquette."
"What's your name? Who am I? Who is the fifth lady?" When the maid sat down as instructed, Jiang Suxi asked. Seeing the confusion in the maid's eyes, Jiang Suxi said calmly: "
I hit my head and lost my memory."
The doubts in the maid's eyes dissipated and she said: "Miss, you are Jiang Suxi, the eldest lady of Zuoxiang's Mansion, the fifth lady, my name is Jiang Yuee, and I, my name is Weedao, and I am your maid."
"Oh," Jiang Suxi nodded. This ancient lady's name was the same as hers. It was a kind of fate. In ancient times, the right was respected, and the right prime minister was usually in charge of military matters. The left prime minister should be a civil servant. He asked again: "
Now, which dynasty and which generation? Who is in power? Tell me everything you know."
The maid raised her head and glanced at Jiang Suxi, then quickly lowered her head.
Miss, what happened? Did you hit your head? Why do you care about these things?
"Miss, it's the second year of the Yunze Dynasty, and the former eldest prince is in charge..." The maid waved away all the questions in her heart and told Jiang Suxi everything she knew.
No matter what, the lady is still her lady, and if such ladies know how to protect themselves, their future life may be easier.
Yunze Dynasty? Jiang Suxi searched in her head, but she had no impression! As a top student in the history department in her previous life, she had no impression. She thought that this world was not in the same space as her original world.
That's better, don't worry about her actions affecting future generations.
According to the words of the maid Ye Cao, the body is the legitimate daughter of the left prime minister and the eldest daughter. Her mother died in childbirth and she grew up with her wet nurse. She is, to put it mildly, simple and kind.
To put it bluntly, it sounds stupid and cowardly!
My father, Prime Minister Jiang, also had three wives, who gave birth to two sons and four daughters, all of whom were not good. He would bully the eldest lady openly or secretly when he had nothing to do, cheat and rob her, and take away her gold, silver jewelry, clothes and cloth.
, as long as it is good, they want it.
Not to mention, as the eldest daughter, her status and status always aroused jealousy and hatred. Those younger sisters deceived her into being gentle and kind, and tried every means to make her embarrassed in front of others and ruin her reputation, so that this imperial city
Everyone here said that Prime Minister Zuo's eldest daughter was ugly, had a weird temper, and was silly.
The three younger sisters in the house were all married, but she didn't even have a matchmaker who came to propose marriage to her.
When asked why this eldest lady was plotted against in the most remote corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Cao told Jiang Suxi that it was because of the imperial decree a month ago.
The eldest prince, Chu Haotian, had been on the throne for less than three years, and his position was still somewhat unstable. He was busy winning over people's hearts and consolidating his power all day long. No, when the sixth prince, Chu Yunyi, reached the age of marriageable age, Chu Haotian stepped down.
An imperial decree designated the eldest daughter of the left prime minister to Chu Yunyi as his concubine.
As we all know, the Sixth Prince Chu Yunyi is handsome in appearance and gentle in his treatment of others. He has always been the dream lover of the daughters of the Imperial City. Of course, he is also the favorite of Jiang Yuee, the Fifth Miss of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. Who would have known about this imperial edict?
, actually gave such a good marriage to Jiang Suxi.
Nowadays, among the unmarried daughters in the Jiang Mansion, apart from the fourth miss Bing Yangzi, the only remaining ones are the eldest miss Jiang Suxi and Wu Xiaoyue Jiang Yuee.
If Jiang Suxi was killed, wouldn't the marriage fall on her, Jiang Yuee?!
This sinister thought flashed through Jiang Yuee's mind, and she immediately put it into practice. She found a few street gangsters and lured Jiang Suxi to this remote corner to destroy her.
"Why are you called weeds?" Jiang Suxi finished analyzing these things and asked the maid the last question.
"My mother said that my daughter was born cheap. There are many brothers and sisters in the family, so she should give her a cheap name so that she can make a living." Weed Cao replied: "That year there was a famine in my hometown, and they all starved to death, and I was the only one left. I think it was the one with this name.
Credit... When I entered the mansion, my name was given to me by Miss Ying, but Miss Ying never mentioned it, so I kept using this name."
Jiang Suxi smiled and stared at Weedao's face: "But you don't think you are born cheap, do you?"
This bold and careful maid has a smart mind and a hard heart. Asking her to cut off the heads of those three stinky men was a test for her. In this ancient society with a strict hierarchy, all maids had to call themselves "slaves".
But when this maid spoke, she tried her best to avoid the word "servant".
Jiang Suxi asked again: "You just said that there were eight maids in my yard, and they were all with other ladies. Why didn't you go?"
Weedao raised his head and looked at Jiang Suxi who was smiling: "Miss, Weicao just wants to live a decent life, and doesn't want to be a dog for those so-called nobles. Although Weicao is an orphan and has been poor since he was a child, he has done a good job.
Pure, unlike those who are bright and shiny on the outside but sinister and dirty behind the scenes... weeds would rather guard the lady."
Jiang Suxi nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect this maid to be so enlightened.
The person she was guarding should be the former eldest lady of the prime minister's house who was kind and easy to bully. I thought that without this maid, the eldest lady would suffer even more.
"The name weed is not nice, let me give you a name," Jiang Suxi said: "My name is Suxi, and you will be called Suqin from now on. I will teach you how to read and write, teach you how to behave, and make you truly live.
It's extraordinary, but in return, you have to be my maid for four years."
Jiang Suxi stared at the maid with burning eyes: "I hate betrayal the most. Within four years, if you betray me, there will be a pile of your bones in the mass grave outside the city. After four years, it's up to you whether you want to stay or not."
free."
Seeing that the maid didn't answer, Jiang Suxi added: "In the past, they bullied me into being gentle and kind. I avoided them and gave in to them, but they took advantage of them and tried to destroy me. From then on..." She deliberately did not finish her sentence.
As expected, the maid knelt down with a plop: "Su Qin thanked Miss for giving her the name. Su Qin understands that she is a human being and a ghost."
"Then, let's go," Jiang Suxi stretched out his hand and helped Suqin up: "I don't remember anything. You take me back to the courtyard and make me familiar with everything in the house in the shortest possible time."
Jiang Suxi sneered and said: "After you go back, go find three good flower pots. Didn't you say that Jiang Yue'e likes cannas? So use that head as fertilizer and plant three plants for her."
"Yes, Miss, this is a very good idea." Su Qin raised the dead head, followed Jiang Suxi, and said respectfully.
Great! The young lady has finally come to her senses! Inside this high-walled compound, she believes that her choice is the right one.
The courtyard where Jiang Suxi lived was called Mengyunxuan, named after Jiang Suxi’s mother Li Mengyun. There was not a single tree in the courtyard, and a whole piece of green turf was spread straight to the front of the building. Suqin explained: “Miss,
You used to be afraid of the shadow of the tree, so we planted turf in our yard."
"Well," Jiang Suxi nodded: "The turf is not bad, and the field of vision is wide. You can see whoever comes at a glance," she paused, and then said: "But the turf alone is a bit monotonous, and there is space in the middle.
Dig a bigger pond and plant some low flowers."
When it came to planting flowers, Jiang Suxi turned around and asked: "Suqin, do you know there is a flower called Manzhu Shahua?"
"Manzhu Shahua?" Su Qin thought for a while and said, "I think I heard someone say last time that there is this kind of flower in the Fourth Prince's house. It is said that the Fourth Prince brought it back from the battlefield. The name of this flower is quite nice.
Yes, but it’s a dead man’s flower, and no one else would grow such a flower in their homes.”
Jiang Suxi said "Oh" and continued to walk forward and entered the small building.
The first night she came to this other world, Jiang Suxi didn't sleep well. The pain in her head tortured her. She saw bright red blood as soon as she closed her eyes. She also had a high fever during the night. However, the maid Suqin kept guarding her.
At the bedside, taking care of her.
When there was only a faint light in the sky, Jiang Suxi could no longer sleep. She opened her eyes and sat up, thinking about something with her eyes half closed. She didn't say anything, and Suqin didn't ask, just fanned her.
