Sang Lian stood outside the house, looking past Yin Feng and looking inside, with some worry on his face: "I didn't expect to meet my cousin here, and I heard that my cousin was injured. I was worried that something would happen..."
The other party said it as if he didn't even know that Chu Xuanzhi was here and everything was just a coincidence.
Yin Feng said expressionlessly: "I already have a doctor looking at me, Miss Sang Lian, don't worry."
Seeing that Yin Feng refused to let her in, Sang Lian took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms with a look of helplessness: "This is a panacea. It can cure all diseases and prolong life. It is beneficial to my cousin."
Yin Feng did not reach out to pick it up.
"I know that Guard Yin Feng has some misunderstandings about me. Don't worry, I will not blackmail my cousin into marrying me. Life is at stake."
Sang Lian gave the small white bottle in his hand to Yin Feng, turned around and left. Unexpectedly, Yin Feng turned around and poured the medicine into the flower pot.
He couldn't believe Sang Lian.
This purpose is too obvious.
Yin Feng suddenly remembered the first time he met Jiang Yunxu, and was afraid that the other party would know her name.
"Leaving?" Chu Xuanzhi asked.
Yin Feng nodded: "Miss Sang Lian is not simple, she can call her subordinates' names accurately."
In his memory, he had never dealt with Sang Lian, he only met him twice, and he clearly remembered that he did not reveal his name.
There is only one possibility. The other party has figured out everything about Chu Xuanzhi.
Chu Xuazhi smiled without surprise.
A few days later, news came from Haozhou that there was a woman of unknown origin beside the Ninth Prince. She had excellent medical skills and could suppress the poison in the Ninth Prince's body.
Not only that, she is also extremely beautiful, and she is a great beauty who will captivate the entire country.
During breakfast, Hong Qiao cautiously raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yunxu, as if she was hesitant to speak.
"Tell me, what's wrong? You've stared at my face no less than ten times this morning."
Jiang Yunxu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corners of his lips gently with a handkerchief, and looked at Hong Qiao with a smile.
"My servant is here to fight for you. You saved King Xuan's life, and suffered so much humiliation on the day you got married. Now you are here guarding King Xuan's palace for King Xuan, but King Xuan is messing around with other women where you can't see him.
.”
"Hong Qiao!" Jiang Yunxu interrupted her in time, the smile on his face faded, and he said seriously: "Don't say this again in the future. How King Xuan chooses is his business. Although I saved King Xuan,
King Xuan is also kind to me."
She only has a cooperative relationship with Chu Xuanzhi, and she will never hinder Chu Xuanzhi from having anyone around him.
"But……"
"King Xuan is not the lustful person you imagined."
During these years of marching and fighting, there was no woman around him, and the mansion was also clean and tidy.
Just based on his identity, what kind of woman does he want?
So Jiang Yunxu believes that there must be a hidden secret in this matter.
"The princess believes in King Xuan so much?" Hong Qiao was surprised. When did the princess change her attitude towards King Xuan?
Jiang Yunxu raised her lips and smiled: "Chu Xuanzhi is an honest man. If he really has a woman he likes, he will definitely not expose it."
How many people are waiting to catch Chu Xuazhi's weakness? There are dangers all around him, so how can Chu Xunzhi be willing to let the person he likes be at the forefront of the storm?
With this explanation, Hongqiao felt relieved.
After a while, Yin Lei sent a letter. Yin Lei heard what he said just now, word for word. He secretly admired the princess in his heart. Bingxue was smart and broad-minded. He must write to tell the prince about this.
"Princess, this is the letter sent by the prince."
Jiang Yunxu took the letter and opened it. It was as expected. It was Chu Xuanzhi's intention.
What surprised her was that that person turned out to be Sang Lian!
A girl's family chased Haozhou from the capital. The journey was not easy. Sang Lian wanted to marry Chu Xunzhi so much?
Jiang Yunxu suppressed the doubts in her heart, finished reading the letter, burned the letter, and hesitated for a while.
"Send Brother Tuan out later."
Brother Tuan could not stay at home, so he moved Feng Niang away from the capital, and she had no worries at all.
As for making trouble, she is the best at it.
After several days of fermentation, it was spread in the streets and alleys that Chu Xuanzhi had adopted several women, all of whom were as beautiful as gods and of noble status. One of them was Miss Sang Lian from the Duke of Zhao's Mansion.
Jiang Yunxu said hello to Mrs. Zhao Guogong in advance, so Mrs. Zhao Guogong just returned to her parents' home that day.
As soon as the front leg left, Jiang Yunxu, the hind leg, came to visit Zhao Guogong's mansion.
Jiang Yunxu put on a lot of airs and sat on a soft chair, looking very aggressive. When the housekeeper saw this, he immediately went to notify his master.
Soon the second lady came.
"Hey, what kind of wind is this? It has brought Princess Xuan here."
The second lady looked Jiang Yunxu up and down and curled her lips. It seemed that the rumors were all false. It was clearly said that Jiang Yunxu was hit by a carriage and had only one breath left. How could he still be alive?
"How dare you, this princess is here to ask if Zhao Guogong's government will educate you. How can a good girl be so shameless and pursue Haozhou all the way? Doesn't the document that the old lady signed at the beginning count?"
Facing Jiang Yunxu's questioning, the second lady was still confused and said angrily: "Why are you so crazy?"
Then the maid told the second lady the news about the capital in the past two days, and the second lady found it incredible.
"This is absolutely impossible. Sang Lian is recuperating next door. How could he run away to Haozhou?"
"The girls in Duke Zhao's palace are shameless, what can't they do?"
Jiang Yunxu was like a shrew at the moment, hurling insults at the second lady.
The second lady was scolded so hard that she had no ability to fight back, and her face turned blue: "Stop talking nonsense and slandering the Duke of Zhao's house."
The second lady was no match for the profligate Jiang Yunxu. She was still scrupulous about it, and restrained herself from swearing some curse words.
But Jiang Yunxu didn't care and dared to scold him with any unpleasant words. The maids and women around him didn't even dare to breathe.
Let me sigh, she is indeed a fierce princess.
"presumptuous!"
After scolding for a long time, Mrs. Zhao finally arrived and looked at Jiang Yunxu with a frozen face and disgust.
"Jiang Yunxu, this is the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, and you are not allowed to be arrogant. Do you take Duke Zhao's Mansion seriously?"
Jiang Yunxu sneered: "Zhao Guogong's house can do all kinds of things, including being cowardly, sneaking around, and secretly plotting against Chen Cang. Why don't I come here to ask for an explanation in an upright manner?"
The second lady was so beaten that she had no power to resist, so she had no choice but to come to Mrs. Zhao's side and said, "Mom, please calm down."
Mrs. Zhao was indeed very angry.
"The writing on this was also written by Mrs. Zhao herself, and it was witnessed by many people. Now she has gone back on her word and secretly asked people to recommend themselves as pillows. It is quite shameless."
"You...shut up!"
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she was so angry that she pointed at Jiang Yunxu with a trembling finger: "Don't slander people here and slander the Zhao family."
"Old madam, do you dare to let Miss Sang Lian come out to meet people? If I see Miss Sang Lian today, I, Jiang Yunxu, will kneel on the ground and crawl out of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, kowtowing three times at a time. From now on, I will definitely respect the Zhao family when I see them.
Respectfully, without hesitation!"
Jiang Yunxu was not afraid of the other party's anger at all, with a sneer on his face.
Seeing her swearing so firmly, Mrs. Zhao suddenly lost her confidence. She hesitated and winked at the second lady.
The second lady quickly left and went to the next door in person. Zhao Qianru was surprised to see the second lady coming.
"Why is the second sister-in-law here?"
The second lady ignored Zhao Qianru and asked directly: "Where is Sang Lian? Come out quickly. Mother wants to see Sang Lian."
After saying this, Zhao Qianru's face paused, and she quickly pulled the second lady: "This child feels cold and should not see people. I will go visit my mother soon."
"It's such a hot day and the wind is cold?" The second lady was surprised, her heart sank. She looked at Zhao Qianru in disbelief, guessing that Jiang Yunxu's eighty percentile score was true.
Zhao Qianru pulled the second lady out and said, "I made a few snacks with my own hands, just in time to bring them over for my mother to try."
The second lady did not move at all, and stared at Zhao Qianru coldly: "Is Sang Lian at the house or not? There are rumors outside that Sang Lian went to see Henry Chu in private. Is it true?"
"How...how could it be?" Zhao Qianru's eyes flashed and she denied it.
The second lady took a deep breath, stopped hiding it, and told her what happened in the yard next door word for word.
Zhao Qianru was dumbfounded: "Jiang Yunxu is making trouble, why should she?"
"Now that we've reached this point, let's stop hiding it. What's going on?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Zhao Qianru had to admit it and said hesitantly: "I am just a woman, I can't watch her die. Everything was my idea. I forced her to go to Hao Zhou."
Looking for Chu Xuanzhi."
"You are confused!" The second lady almost slapped Zhao Qianru. For the sake of pity, the whole family's reputation was tarnished.
What a disaster!
"Second sister-in-law, since Chu Xuanzhi has kept Sang Lian, Jiang Yunxu has no right to cause trouble."
"Don't forget, my mother wrote a promise in front of many ladies a few days ago that she will not let Sang Lian marry to Prince Xuan's Mansion!"
The second lady coldly took her arm out of Zhao Qianru's arms with a displeased look on her face. These mother and daughter were really shameless and selfish.
"Sister-in-law must have a way, why not ask sister-in-law?" Zhao Qianru turned around and went to find Mrs. Zhao Guogong.
When the second lady heard this, she also came forward. Why didn't Mrs. Zhao Guogong come out and get scolded?
Only when I went there did I find out that she had gone back to her parents' house early in the morning and was no longer at the house. The two of them were in vain, and the second lady's face became even more ugly.
"This must be a deliberate attempt to hide out!"
Zhao Qianru pursed her lips and stood there not knowing what to do.
It happened that the housekeeper sent someone to urge her, saying that Mrs. Zhao was very angry and asked the two of them to take a look.
In desperation
The two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the front hall.
Jiang Yunxu was still cursing angrily, and his posture almost killed Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao, who came from a well-known family, had never experienced such a scene. She was trembling with anger and speechless.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Zhao Qianru and saw that there was no Sang Lian behind her, she knew what was going on.
"What, is Sang Lian sick or can't get out of bed?" Jiang Yunxu asked.
Zhao Qianru's face darkened: "Don't push yourself too hard. You are just a second-hand commodity that is despised by others. Chu Xuanzhi married you just because he had no choice. What qualifications do you have to compete with Sang Lian? You are so ugly that you don't even look in the mirror."
.”
Zhao Qianru has been holding these words in her heart for a long time. Her daughter is as beautiful as a flower, and she is much better than Jiang Yunxu in every aspect.
Jiang Yunxu pretended to be angry: "No wonder Zhao Guogong's house raised such an aunt. She is really crooked. She instigates her daughter to hook up with men. She is not even as good as the sisters in the building. She still dares to compare with me. I
But for an upright marriage, if it is done openly, your Sang Lian is worthless!"
"You!" Zhao Qianru was so angry at these words that she almost lost her balance.
"Enough!"
Mrs. Zhao really couldn't bear to hear such unpleasant words, so she interrupted the quarrel between the two people with a sullen face.
She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yunxu.
"The Duke of Zhao's Palace can compensate you. Furthermore, the Duke of Zhao's Palace will also send people to Haozhou to bring Sang Lian back."
"Mother?" Zhao Qianru quits her job, why should she sacrifice her daughter's happiness?
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Zhao roared angrily, which made Zhao Qianru shrink her neck in fright and did not dare to speak.
"Princess Xuan, I don't know about this matter. If you have any requests, just ask." Mrs. Zhao didn't want to get entangled with Jiang Yunxu.
For the sake of the reputation of Duke Zhao's palace, Mrs. Zhao compromised.
But this was not Jiang Yunxu's ultimate goal at all. Jiang Yunxu folded the documents and put them in his arms.
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver, I will keep silent about this matter."
"Why don't you go and grab it?" Zhao Qianru became uneasy after hearing this. Her entire dowry totaled only seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver.
Two hundred thousand taels at once, I'm afraid it would take the Duke's government being very cruel to come up with it.
Mrs. Zhao sneered: "How can Princess Xuan speak so loudly at such a young age? This is not a small number."
"Of course I know it's not a small amount. I just want a guarantee. If I fall out of favor in the future, at least I still have money with me so that I won't be in such a miserable state for the rest of my life."
Jiang Yunxu took it for granted: "Two hundred thousand taels is a good deal to buy the reputation of Duke Zhao's mansion."
Forced into silence by the other party, Mrs. Zhao knew for the first time what it meant to be difficult to deal with.
"Mother, you must not agree." The second wife was anxious. The two hundred thousand taels must be taken away from the husband, which would also involve the interests of the second wife.
"Three hundred thousand taels!" Jiang Yunxu raised the price on the spot and said: "Not a penny less, otherwise, when I leave this door, I will post a notice to let everyone in the capital see how Zhao Guogong's mansion went back on its word.
of."
"you!"
Mrs. Zhao clutched her heart tightly, rolled her eyes angrily, and then changed the subject and asked, "Where's everyone's family?"
After saying this, Zhao Huaiyu came over and supported Mrs. Zhao: "Grandma, please calm down. This matter does not belong to the Zhao family. Sang Lian should be taken care of. The centuries-old reputation of the Duke of Zhao cannot be ruined in one day."
Under the comfort of Zhao Huaiyu, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to grit her teeth and agreed. The second Mrs. Zhao wanted to object, but was frightened by the look in her eyes.
"Second Aunt, the second brother and the second sister will both get married in the future."
One sentence successfully silenced the second lady.
