Jiang Yingying's eyebrows twitched, she realized something, and instinctively refused: "I...I can't do this kind of thing..."
Although it was the Yuan family that made her life turn into this, but if we really talk about it, apart from Yuan Jinshen going out on the wedding night and never coming back, the Yuan family did not treat her harshly.
No matter what, she is also the granddaughter-in-law of the Yuan family, how could she betray her husband's family?
The man in black sneered, "If you don't do it, the imperial army will come to your door tomorrow, disobey the imperial edict, and escape from Yongyihou Mansion privately. You won't have to wait for the Yuan family to be convicted, and you will be killed first!"
"You...you're talking nonsense, don't try to fool me!"
Although Jiang Yingying was retorting, her trembling voice and nervous facial expression had completely betrayed her.
"The Yuan family wants to drag you to be buried with Yuan Jinshen, do you still have to think about them? There is not much time left for you. If you miss this opportunity today, you can only wait to die. I give you a quarter of an hour.
It’s time to think it over carefully.”
Sure enough, Jiang Yingying's expression changed when she mentioned the burial.
The man in black continued to increase the pressure: "Even if the Yuan family can be acquitted in the end, but you cannot be resurrected after death, you will be trapped in the prince's mansion forever and be a widow for the rest of your life.
It's a pity that you are so young and have never even experienced what it's like to be a woman, so you will die alone in an empty house. But if you accept this letter and identify the Yuan family, you will be a great hero and you will be able to escape unscathed.
, and you can be married to a good family in the future, it’s up to you how you choose.”
Jiang Yingying stared at the letter in the man's hand. After a while, she stretched out a trembling hand.
It’s not her fault, it’s all the Yuan family’s fault, people die for money and birds die for food, she just wants to live a better life, so there’s nothing wrong with her choice!
The main entrance of Yongyihou Mansion.
After Qi Jue escorted all the young and old of the Yuan family back, he planned to leave.
"Your Highness, wait."
Yan Mingzhu walked forward in a few steps. When Qi Jue stopped and looked at her, she said, "Your Highness, are you free tomorrow? Ming Yuexuan, I invite Your Highness to have tea and listen to a book, as a courtesy."
Qi Jue refused to accept the money for the whip, but Yan Mingzhu also didn't like to owe others. After thinking about it, she felt that asking Qi Jue to listen to the book would be a return of favor.
Upon hearing this, Feiyun followed: "Your Highness, tomorrow you..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Jue nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Yan Mingzhu smiled slightly, "I will be waiting for His Highness at Ming Yuexuan tomorrow. Please go slowly."
When Qi Jue got on his horse, Feiyu came over holding a box, "Miss Yan, this is a gift from His Highness."
Before Yan Mingzhu could say anything, Feiyu stuffed it directly into his hand, and then quickly slipped to Qi Jue's side.
Yan Mingzhu was both amused and helpless, "Your Highness, I already feel very embarrassed about the whip. Why don't you take this thing back?"
Although I don’t know what they are, the gifts from Qi Jue must be valuable items.
Qi Jue rode on the red rabbit horse with a long body, his eyes were light and his tone was clear: "I have no use for it, so I will give it to you, keep it."
Without giving Yan Mingzhu a chance to refuse, Qi Jue grabbed the horse's belly and rode away.
With no other choice, Yan Mingzhu had no choice but to accept it, and Yuan Yixiao had already been extremely curious. When Qi Jue had just walked away, she immediately leaned towards him.
"Cousin, what did His Highness King Dingbei give you? Is it a token of love?"
Yan Mingzhu poked her forehead helplessly, "It's just a gift between friends. What are you thinking about?"
At Yuan Yixiao's urging, Yan Mingzhu opened the lid, and suddenly there was a piece of brilliant brocade lying inside, which was even more dazzling than the Zhijin Yudeng she bought at Jinmanlou before.
Yuan Yi smiled so hard that she could hardly close her jaw, "Wow, it's so beautiful. What kind of satin is this? I've never seen it before!"
Seeing that Yan Mingzhu and the others were still outside, Mrs. Yuan Er came out and called them. She recognized the brocade in the box at a glance, "Isn't this the Liuxian Cloud Satin?"
Yan Mingzhu and Yuan Yixiao looked up at the same time, "Liu Xian Yun Satin?"
"Yes, this cloud satin is produced in Yangzhou. It is woven from extremely precious Tianshan snow silk. One foot is worth ten thousand gold. However, ordinary people cannot buy it even if they have money, because this cloud satin is directly
It was brought to the palace for His Majesty’s ladies, Zhuzhu, where did this satin come from?”
Yuan Yixiao said excitedly: "His Royal Highness King Dingbei specially gave it to my cousin. Mother, let me just say that His Highness treats my cousin very differently. Even such a precious and hard-to-find Liuxian Yun Satin was given away as soon as he said it was a gift.
You still don’t believe it!”
Mrs. Yuan Er glared at her and pulled her to her side, "If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."
"Second aunt, Xiaoxiao, even though she is outspoken and sincere, I don't take her seriously. Please stop scolding her. Xiaoxiao, I'll give you this satin. You can use it to make a nice dress."
Yuan Yixiao opened her eyes wide and waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no, how can this be allowed? This is given to your cousin by His Highness King Dingbei, I can't take it!"
Yan Mingzhu smiled and stuffed it directly into her hand, "Since you gave it to me, it belongs to me. What to do with it is my business. I have no requirements on clothing, as long as it is comfortable to wear."
Besides, I usually have to do errands outside a lot, so it’s not suitable for me to wear something too eye-catching, so I can’t waste such good satin, so just wear it with Xiaoxiao.”
The little girl was moved to tears and said, "Thank you, cousin. Cousin, you are so kind!"
Just as he was talking, a hoarse voice with a crying tone suddenly sounded: "Mother-in-law."
Hearing the sound and looking over, he saw two people walking in this direction. One of them took off his cloak and hat, revealing a familiar face.
It’s Jiang Yingying!
As soon as she saw Jiang Yingying, Yuan Yixiao immediately became angry. She stepped forward and said, "Jiang Yingying, didn't you run away? Since you are greedy for life and afraid of death, why did you come back? Could it be that someone discovered you on the way to escape?
, so he was forced to return to the Hou Mansion?
Let me tell you, from the moment you ran away, you are no longer our Yuan family. A villain like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death is not worthy of my second brother. Get out of here or I will take action.
Got it!"
Yuan Yixiao was furious when she learned that Jiang Yingying had escaped secretly while Yong Yihou and the others were being buried.
She didn't like this second sister-in-law very much in the first place, and today she did such a thing of running away in fear of death, Yuan Yixiao didn't want to see her even more.
Before Jiang Yingying could speak, she started to cry, and then knelt down towards Mrs. Yuan Er with a plop.
"Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run away, I... I just missed my father and mother too much, I just... just wanted to go back and see them,
Today is the only chance. If I don't go back and see them, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to see them again in my life. I really don't want to run away. Please believe me, mother-in-law. I am a member of the Yuan family in life, and I will also be a member of the Yuan family in death.
