49. Chapter 49 The fourth lady took the initiative to show her favor
Jiang Bowu lusted after Xi'er, a newly purchased maid in the mansion. The secret guard in the mansion reported Jiang Haochen. Jiang Haochen was furious and ordered him to spend a month in seclusion in his yard. Zhao Shumei set up a Buddhist niche in the bedroom and began to copy scriptures and worship Buddha.
Cheng Yu fought several times with the secret guard guarding Meng Yunxuan. He was beaten badly by the secret guard several times before, but he narrowly won the last time. Jiang Haochen took a look at Cheng Yu and withdrew his secret guard.
Cheng Yu went up to the big tree to check, and sure enough he saw a small nest on the tree for people to rest. It was covered with wooden boards from top to bottom, and it was empty on all sides. Although it did not block the wind, it did block rain and snow. It was enough for those who practiced martial arts.
After using it, Cheng Yu occupied the small nest.
Mu Feng threw a man covered in blood to Su Qin a few days ago, saying that the half-dead man named Chu Ge was from Jiang Su Xi. Su Qin settled him down and took good care of him. Now the injuries on his body have healed.
Seven or eighty-eight.
The second lady Xue Qin drowned inexplicably in the small pond in her yard. Several maids watched her fall into the water and wanted to save her, but she smiled and shook her head. After a quarter of an hour, the body came up... Jiang Haochen checked it out.
Nothing strange happened, so he sighed and buried her.
After Jiang Bowen was sent to death row, Sun Xiaoqing, Jiang Bowen's wife, had an affair with a servant in the mansion. This was discovered by Zhao Shumei's maid. Jiang Fu killed the servant with a stick. Jiang Haochen took the decision and gave it to Sun Xiaoqing.
After the divorce, Sun Xiaoqing didn't want to go back to her parents' home. She cried and cried for a day. Finally, she wrote a suicide note to her parents' home and committed suicide in shame.
Concubine Shu Jiang Caidi went home to visit her relatives and gave Jiang Xiruo a lot of gold and silver jewelry. She fell in love with a little maid and took her into the palace herself.
The second young lady, Jiang Cuiming, went home to visit her relatives and told Jiang Xiruo about the marriage of a cousin of her husband's family. Jiang Xiruo did not respond and returned in anger.
…
"Okay, Suqin, I know all these things." After listening to Suqin's report quietly, Jiang Suxi stood up: "I can't go past Feng Lei Banyue. What happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion is really serious."
Quite a few! They are all unwilling to be left alone... Let's go and see Chu Ge."
Mu Feng sent people to Zuo Xiangfu, which meant that Chu Ge had passed the third stage of the Jiulong Pavilion trial. Her future was doomed to be troubled. She had to ask Chu Ge what his final intention was, if he did not want to follow her.
Taking this road of life and death, she had to make a plan for him early.
Chu Ge is a good person, and she hopes that he will always be a good person.
Before Jiang Suxi could walk out of her bedroom door, someone came. She was wearing a goose-yellow dress and a thick warm fur, with a slight smile on her face. She was less sickly pale and more elegant.
It was none other than Fourth Miss Jiang Xiruo.
"Greetings to the eldest lady." Jiang Xiruo entered the door and gave Jiang Suxi a blessing in a polite manner.
Jiang Suxi smiled slightly: "It's the fourth sister, come on in and sit down." Jiang Suxi helped Jiang Xiruo up, led her to a soft chair, sat down, and asked Suqin to pour tea.
Jiang Xiruo's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Suxi call her "Fourth Sister". During these days, she had thought very clearly that it would be better to be young and beautiful for a time than to live in a cautious and muddle-headed old age.
"Xiruo, are you eighteen this year?" Jiang Suxi suddenly asked after the two sisters chatted some jokes.
"Yes, Miss." Jiang Xiruo didn't know why Jiang Suxi cared about her age, so she answered respectfully.
Seeing that she was a little nervous, Jiang Suxi smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite with me. I know you are smart and believe that you have no heart, so I got close to you. You have never harmed me in these years.
Even if you help me, if you help me, I will naturally help you. Isn't that what matters between people?
From now on, if you don’t have any ill thoughts towards me, I will protect you. After all, we are blood relatives. In this Prime Minister’s Mansion, I, Jiang Suxi, am also willing to have one more person who can speak my mind. But if one day you are right
I have a bad feeling..."
Jiang Suxi didn't finish her sentence, she was stuck in the middle of the sentence, and looked at the expression on Jiang Xiruo's face with half-squinted eyes.
"Miss Xiruo, if you don't dare, you won't!" Seeing Jiang Suxi talking like this, Jiang Xiruo suddenly panicked and hurriedly stood up and said: "Xiruo is helpless in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he can win the big prize,
With the protection of the young lady, I can live an easy life, no matter what the young lady asks Xiruo to do, Xiruo will try her best to do it."
The words are sincere and do not appear to be false.
"Haha, fourth sister, it's serious." Jiang Suxi grabbed Jiang Xiruo's hand and motioned her to sit down peacefully, and then asked: "I heard that many people have proposed marriage to you these days. Do you think my sister has taken a fancy to you?"
The young master?"
"Xiruo didn't take a closer look." Jiang Xiruo answered honestly.
"Oh? Why is that?" Jiang Suxi smiled with crooked eyebrows, as if he was very satisfied with Jiang Suxi's behavior.
"I want the eldest lady to make the decision about Xiruo's major life events." Jiang Xiruo raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Suxi with a firm look in his eyes: "Xiruo wants to marry as the eldest lady said, to marry someone she likes.
I only like Xiruo's beloved person, Xiruo doesn't care about status, money and silk, I only hope to be with you for the rest of my life.
Xiruo knows that the eldest lady is someone who does important things, so Xiruo is willing to help the eldest lady. Xiruo only asks that after the eldest lady succeeds, she can give Xiruo the life she wants."
"I don't have anything big to do, but I'm just struggling in this world. I don't want to live so miserable." Jiang Suxi said lightly: "If you insist on relying on me, I will make it clear to you in advance that I Xu Suqin's
It’s four years, maybe you can do it for four years. After four years, when you are twenty-two, it will not be too late to marry a good man. Within four years, you must unconditionally carry out what I ask you to do, even if
Yes, I will let you kill people and set fires!"
Jiang Suxi paused for a moment, staring at Jiang Xiruo's face motionlessly, seeing every detail of her expression clearly, and continued: "This means that you have to use four years of youth.
Bet on me, and what I want is absolute loyalty. There is an old saying that these people are selfish. If you don’t believe me, I don’t believe you. Everything needs to be verified by time.
You go back and think it over clearly. If you don't want to, I will help you choose a better family to marry. You will be responsible for what happens after you get married. If you choose me, if you don't betray me within four years, I will definitely do it.
I will protect you with my life. After four years, if you and I are still alive, we can really become biological sisters. I will never abandon you in this life! But within four years, even if you have someone you like, you will not be able to do it.
Talk about marriage."
"Thank you, Miss. Xiruo... go back and think it over." Jiang Xiruo listened carefully to Jiang Suxi's words, stood up again, bowed to Jiang Suxi, and was about to leave.
"Go!" Jiang Suxi responded.
"Miss, Fourth Miss, she clearly showed her kindness to you, but why didn't she agree on the spot?" After Jiang Xiruo left, Suqin couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"She is a smart person. If she had agreed to me on the spot, I would have suspected that she had bad motives!" Jiang Suxi explained calmly: "And her considerations were not wrong. If she had really agreed to me on the spot,
I will definitely be disappointed in her, a person who even makes hasty decisions on such important matters is useless to her and me!"
"Suqin understands!" Suqin replied meekly, and then asked: "Then, do we still want to go see Chu Ge?"
"Well, let's go!" Jiang Suxi stood up, tightened her robe tightly, and walked out.
When he walked outside Chu Ge's room, he heard the clash of swords from inside. Jiang Suxi's eyes turned cold and he pushed the door open. The two people who were fighting happily stopped in unison.
"Miss!" Cheng Yu quickly took back his knife, his eyes showing joy.
"Miss!" Chu Ge also returned the sword to its sheath, his tone filled with excitement.
"The fight was so smooth, the injury should be healed. Cheng Yu, go to Luzhou Hu County and check on a person for me. We will leave in a quarter of an hour! Su Qin, go and prepare some food for him on the road!" Jiang
Su Xi glanced at Chu Ge and Cheng Yu lightly, took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve, handed it to Cheng Yu, and gave a cool order.
"Yes!" Cheng Yu took the piece of paper and bowed his head.
"Yes, Miss." Su Qin responded and followed Cheng Yu out of the door.
Only Jiang Suxi and Chu Ge were left in the room.
"What are your plans?" Jiang Suxi found a chair and sat down, asking in a calm voice, with no emotion audible.
"Plan?" Chu Ge was a little confused.
"It's like this," Jiang Suxi explained patiently: "I dragged Jiulong Pavilion to rescue you from the water prison, firstly because you were imprisoned because of me, and secondly because I appreciated that you were a real man, and you were like that at that time.
Under the circumstances, if you go against the will of the Sixth Prince, you will most likely lose your life, but you are not afraid of power or death, and you intercede for me.
You are now a member of Jiulong Pavilion. If you choose to be an ordinary killer in Jiulong Pavilion and only care about the affairs of the world, as long as you do not betray the pavilion, you will be relatively relaxed and free. If you choose to follow me, you will really put your own life on the line.
Your name is written in King Yama's book of life and death. When you will die and how you will die, it is not up to you to decide.
Let me ask you now, what are your plans?"
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss, Chu Ge is someone who came back from the battlefield. Although the world of Yunze has been peaceful in the past few years, there are still a lot of frictions on the border. From time to time, there will be a small battle.
Chu Ge is just a small soldier. When it comes to fighting, the superiors only give orders, regardless of whether you are willing or not, or whether you have any difficulties that prevent you from going to the battlefield.
Chu Ge had a friend whom he could talk to. That time he received a letter from his family, saying that his only old mother had gone. He was very sad. He had a high fever at night, and his body was weak and weak. It was difficult to even stand still. There happened to be an enemy that day.
The army made a surprise attack, but the soldier asked him to join him, disperse the enemy troops, and then pursue them. They started fighting, but Chu Ge ignored him, and he was killed by the enemy troops...
