Jiang Yunxu saw that Mr. He's face could hardly hold back anymore, and he raised his voice and said to the maid: "Why don't you go and report a message to Prime Minister Jiang!"
"Stop!" Jiang Yan'er stopped the maid in time. She stood up slowly, came to Jiang Yunxu's side, and lowered her voice: "Have you made enough trouble? If you continue like this, you will put the Three Princes' Mansion and the Jiang family in shame."
Where to put it?"
Jiang Yunxu ignored Jiang Yan'er and inserted a silver needle into He's acupuncture point.
"Ouch!" He screamed fiercely, opened his eyes and struggled twice.
Everyone was startled by this shocking roar.
After He jumped up, he was stunned and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Even Jiang Yan'er felt embarrassed and at a loss.
"It turns out that the prime minister's wife is really not sick!"
"That was a deliberate act, and he almost wronged Princess Chen."
There was a lot of tut-tutting.
"That evil-minded concubine and the prime minister's wife are in the same group, and they treat us like fools."
The people laughed heartily, then shook their heads and left with a smile.
Seeing this, Mrs. He's face turned green and white. She turned around and explained to Chu Youqi: "I... this is an old habit of mine, and Yan'er was too concerned for a while, so she got into trouble.
."
Then He turned around and glared at Jiang Yunxu.
"It's the maid next to you who talks too much. She shouted at the gate and attracted many people to talk. I'm just trying to save myself. Please don't make me angry, auntie."
Jiang Yunxu spoke first, interrupting He's about to speak, and grinned at the other party: "Fortunately, the eldest aunt is fine, otherwise I would feel even more sorry, aunt, the ground in the Three Princes' Mansion is cold, you
Take care of yourself."
After saying that, she walked away without giving He a chance to speak.
He's face was filled with irony, and she was angry and angry. She threw her hand and slapped the maid behind her: "You bastard, it's all your nonsense that caused today's misunderstanding."
The maid was so aggrieved after being beaten, but she still wanted to take all the blame for it.
"Madam, it's all my fault. I was in a hurry, so I spoke uncontrollably."
The maid knelt on the ground and hit her face with a bow from left to right. The force was not small, and her face soon became red and swollen.
Seeing this, Chu Youqi was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he had no choice but to say: "Madam, since it is a misunderstanding, let it go. I think the princess is generous and will not care about it."
Only then was He willing to give up. He casually said a few words of comfort to Jiang Yan'er and then got on the carriage.
Watching the carriage leave, Chu Youqi's ugly expression improved slightly. He glanced at Jiang Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, it's better to talk less about the affairs of the palace in the future, so as not to worry the eldest lady."
In fact, he was afraid of being embarrassed, and today the Three Princes' Mansion was embarrassing enough.
If it weren't for Prime Minister Jiang's sake, he would have sent people to drive him out long ago, why would he tolerate it until now.
Jiang Yan'er's heart sank, she didn't dare to explain, so she nodded.
Chu Youqi sighed: "It's windy outside, go back."
After saying this, Jiang Yan'er turned around and entered the house without waiting for her. Jiang Yan'er smiled bitterly. Today, she really lost her wife and lost her troops. She didn't expect that Jiang Yunxu also made the He family lose face.
...
Sitting in the carriage, Ms. He felt a little uneasy. Her face was livid, thinking back to the scene just now, she wished she could faint.
The thought of facing Prime Minister Jiang and Mrs. Jiang when I return home makes my heart tremble.
Sure enough, as soon as he got off the carriage, the butler stood at the door.
"Madam, the old lady is waiting for you."
He clasped his palms and forced himself to calm down.
Walking all the way to the main hall, she suddenly saw the figure of Princess Showa and felt something bad.
Mrs. Jiang had a gloomy face, and when she saw Mr. He, she slammed the table: "Kneel down!"
Without saying a word, Mrs. He knelt down, rubbed the handkerchief and began to cry: "Mother, there is a misunderstanding about this matter. Please listen to my explanation."
"Explain?" Mrs. Jiang picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it at Mr. He. Mr. He did not dare to hide, but her forehead was smashed and blood flowed.
He felt dizzy and dizzy, and her brain hurt terribly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, please calm down. All the mistakes you made are your daughter-in-law's fault. Don't get so angry."
Mrs. Jiang sat down again.
"Sister-in-law, it's really not nice to be in trouble today. People are coming and going on the street. You are also the prime minister's wife after all."
Princess Zhaohe curled her lips, with a look of disgust on her face: "Although Princess Chen is not your biological child, she is still a girl from the Jiang family. The dowry issue caused a lot of fuss a while ago, but it finally subsided. How do outsiders comment on our Jiang family?"
These words were obviously meant to fuel anger, making Mrs. Jiang's anger well up.
She had warned Mr. He a long time ago not to touch Jiang Yunxu. If the trouble was too ugly, it would bring shame to the Jiang family.
She had no idea that He was going to the Three Princes' Mansion today!
He glanced at Princess Zhaohe who looked like she was enjoying the show, and her teeth itched with hatred.
"Mom, my daughter-in-law was really unjust. She just felt unwell and fainted. This maid mistakenly thought it was Sister Xu who was plotting to kill me, and that's how the misunderstanding arose."
On the way back, Mrs. He had already thought of an excuse and pushed the whole matter to her personal maid.
The maid was stunned for a moment, met Mr. He's sinister eyes, and was so frightened that she quickly admitted her mistake.
"I'm sorry, madam. It's all slave talk and it's none of your business." The maid knelt down and admitted her mistake.
He stretched out his hand to beat and scold again and whispered: "I will treat your parents well."
The maid's heart dropped, knowing that she would not survive today.
Princess Showa stretched out her hand to look at her nails and said casually: "Others don't know the inside story. They only know that the prime minister's wife's heart is smaller than the tip of a needle. She is embarrassing her niece. The princess is also the nominal daughter of this palace.
You can’t expose this matter just by killing a maid, right?”
He frowned.
"What do you want?" Mrs. Jiang asked.
Princess Zhaohe sat up straight and said seriously: "The most important thing now is to restore the reputation of the Jiang family. The plan for now is to do something from the source to let outsiders know that what my sister-in-law does does not represent the Prime Minister's Office."
He became a little anxious when he heard this: "Do you mean to expel me from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"I also care about the reputation of the Jiang family. I can't bring down the whole family just because of you. Besides, my brother is the head of the officials. If you don't set an example, how can you be trusted?"
Princess Showa's words made Mr. He panic.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law really knows that she is wrong, and she is willing to punish herself..."
If it had been before, Mrs. He would have used the grounding to blackmail Mrs. Jiang, because no one in the Jiang family could take care of the house except her.
Every time Mrs. Jiang would just let it go.
But Mr. He dare not mention it now. Princess Zhaohe has long been thinking about the stewardship.
So He endured the pain and said: "I am willing to take out 20,000 taels of silver from my dowry as a subsidy to make amends for Jiang Yunxu!"
If the money is gone, you can make it again, but if you lose your stewardship rights, it will be difficult to get them back.
Princess Showa sneered: "Slap someone and give them a sweet date, sister-in-law, that's not how this business works."
"Then what do you want, is it possible that you don't want me to die?"
He was displeased.
Princess Zhaohe slowly stood up and said to Mrs. Jiang: "For twenty thousand taels of silver, I will send my sister-in-law to the family temple to reflect for half a year."
"No, I don't agree!"
When He heard the word "family temple", his eyes widened and he became angry.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Princess Showa and didn't say anything for a while.
"Just do as the eldest princess says!"
Prime Minister Jiang's voice came from not far away, with a solemn face and a condescending look at Mr. He. This sight scared Mr. He into shutting up.
"Let Mr. He leave the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while and bring her back when the weather calms down."
Prime Minister Jiang heard about this on the way down to court, and his face turned green with anger.
"In addition, the Duke will pay another 10,000 taels as compensation and send them to the Three Princes' Mansion together."
He didn't dare to say a word in front of Prime Minister Jiang.
The matter was settled like this.
The power of the housekeeper successfully fell into the hands of Princess Showa.
...
The thirty thousand taels of silver notes were placed on the table, and Jiang Yunxu felt as if he was in a dream.
"It seems that my trip to Yunzhao Temple was not in vain. These people came here to give me money."
She was simply flattered.
Hong Qiao smiled: "The eldest princess has also spoken for you today. If the eldest princess supports you, your status will be much stronger than that of Concubine Jiang."
Jiang Yunxu counted the days and prepared new medicine to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver to Princess Zhaohe.
The two of them help each other and benefit each other.
Looking at the 30,000 taels of silver notes, Jiang Yunxu generously picked up half of it and walked out of the window. He shouted to the sycamore tree: "Your father has also done a lot today. Whoever sees it will get a share!"
"
Yin Lei jumped down from the sycamore tree and appeared, picked it up unceremoniously and put it in his arms: "I thank the princess on my behalf."
After saying that, he left.
Jiang Yunxu didn't feel bad at all, after all, it was an unexpected windfall.
Without Chu Xuanzhi, she would still have to thank her for the trouble today, so these thanksgiving gifts are also appropriate.
"My servant also heard that Mr. He was sent to the family temple for half a year. If Concubine Jiang knew about it, she would be so angry that her heart would ache."
Hong Qiao smiled from ear to ear, and it was He who stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice.
Jiang Yunxu teased Brother Tuan in a good mood, reached out and touched Brother Tuan's round little head, hugged him and kissed him.
Brother Tuan called his aunt with a smile.
"By the way, how is my mother?" she asked suddenly.
"My mood has always been very stable. I copy scriptures, play the piano every day, and eat a little more than before." Hong Qiao didn't dare to delay a day, and would visit her once a day.
Jiang Yunxu nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable when she mentioned Feng.
Such a proud woman, who has conquered the country and conquered the city, has been tortured into this state of being neither a human nor a ghost.
It’s all the Jiang family’s fault!
Hong Qiao looked at her master's expression and guessed that she was upset because of Feng's incident.
"Master, my wife's condition is getting better and better, and she will be able to return to normal sooner or later."
Jiang Yunxu smiled: "Yes, there is hope only when you are alive."
She held Brother Tuan in her arms and touched him lovingly.
Compared with the quiet and harmonious Linglong Garden, Yulou Pavilion seems particularly depressing.
Jiang Yan'er sat on the chair with a tight face. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood when she heard that her mother was sent to the family temple, her housekeeper rights were taken away, and she was asked to pay thirty thousand taels of silver.
"Jiang Yunxu, you bitch, I swear I will fight you until death!"
Regardless of Jiang Yan'er's anger, several maids lowered their heads and even breathed softly.
"Clinique, where is the prince?"
Clinique trembled and stepped forward: "Your Majesty went to Aunt Li's place."
Aunt Li was the personal maid whom Jiang Yaner pretended to be generous and complimentary to before entering the house.
He only has a false reputation and has never slept with him at all.
Jiang Yaner was suddenly stunned: "Go to Aunt Li's place?"
She has been dominating Chu Youqi ever since she got married. Others had no chance at all, and Chu Youqi also promised her that he would be the only one to dote on her.
But now she feels betrayed.
"Go tell the prince that I have a discomfort in my lower abdomen." Jiang Yan'er had nowhere to vent her heart. She just wanted to see Chu Youqi now.
"Concubine, please calm down, your body is worthless when you are so angry. The prince is angry today and he must feel uncomfortable."
Clinique advised: "If you call the prince, if you are diagnosed by Dr. Zhang..."
Mentioning Dr. Zhang, Jiang Yaner became angry.
He cursed a few idiots, then took a deep breath to calm down.
"That's all, let him be."
Clinique then breathed a sigh of relief: "Concubine, you have always been calm and composed. You must not be provoked by the princess and lose your mind."
"Um!"
Jiang Yan'er said this, but she felt a little regretful in her heart. She put her fingertips on her lower abdomen and felt a little uncomfortable.
This strange feeling became more and more intense, and she suddenly felt that her lower body was wet, as if something had slipped out of her body.
Jiang Yan'er stretched out her hand and touched it, and her fingertips were actually stained with blood.
"Clinique!!" Jiang Yaner was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Clinique arrived and at first glance, she quickly sent someone to invite Chu Youqi and Dr. Zhang.
When the news reached Chu Youqi's ears, he didn't even raise his eyelids, thinking that this was Jiang Yan'er's trick.
"I can't cure it, so you can find a way to ask a doctor yourself."
He sent the visitor away without saying a word.
The maid had no choice but to leave and ask for a doctor. Unfortunately, Doctor Zhang felt that he was feeling useless today, so he went to his hometown in anger and took a few days off.
The maid stamped her feet anxiously, but she was at a loss and had to return to Yulou Pavilion.
Seeing that Dr. Zhang was not invited, and Chu Youqi was not invited, Clinique shouted angrily: "Where are the people?"
"The prince said that the concubine should find a way to find a doctor on her own. Doctor Zhang is not in the house, and the servant really has no choice."
Clinique was so anxious that she suddenly thought of Jiang Yunxu: "Quick, go find the princess!"
The maid hesitated: "The princess never gets along with the concubine, can you come?"
"Pah!" Clinique raised her hand and slapped her, angrily yelling: "Go if you are told, why is there all this nonsense!"
The maid had no choice but to cover her face and run away.
Jiang Yan'er, on the other hand, was sweating profusely in pain, and the blood in her lower body couldn't stop at all. She wailed: "Go and invite the prince!"
Clinique had no choice but to make a trip in person.
When Yulou Pavilion sent someone for the second time, with a hurried look on his face, Chu Youqi went there half-heartedly.
"Your Majesty, please save me!" Jiang Yaner burst into tears.
Chu Youqi was startled: "Why is it so serious? Have you called a doctor?"
"Doctor Zhang has taken leave, and my servant has sent someone to fetch the princess."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid hurried back: "The princess went out a while ago and is not at the house."
