Chapter 198

The crowd was in an uproar. The farce of Shangshu mansion was well known in the capital a few years ago. At the beginning, Xia Yan was born with a clear background, and he was born with both virtue and art. Later, he was picked out. In fact, he was disgusted by his shame. At the moment, I heard what the two girls said, and it was like throwing a stone in the calm lake water, rippling. Some of them are a little older, and they recall Zhao Meilai, the former wife of Shangshu mansion.

In fact, those who have some impression on Zhao Mei are still very fond of her. Zhao Mei was born beautiful, simple and kind-hearted, and often helped the poor when she married into Shangshu mansion. She never dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and she doesn't put on the airs of an expensive woman. She is so approachable and astonishing. However, all these good reputations finally came to the head of Shangshu mansion, which added a lot of chips to Jiang Quan's official career. At the beginning, the reputation of Chiang Kai Shek's incorruptness among the common people was not necessarily without Zhao Mei's credit.

But later Zhao Mei gradually faded out of people's vision, and then there was a gentle and virtuous Xia Yan with the name of a talented woman. In addition, Jiang Quan intended to promote her. People only remember that the present lady of shangshufu is Xia Yan, not Zhao Mei. At the moment, as soon as the two girls mentioned it, someone thought of the beautiful and kind young woman at the beginning. In the end, there was something good in her heart. Someone who wanted to fight against injustice said, "Oh, which is the key to her premature life? The first lady is a kind and good person."

The official came forward to take the number one in Forsythia's hand, and took a look at the crowd. Now the princess Hong'an is hot. There is Jinying palace behind this big backer, is to listen to the name of Jiang Ruan, but also dare not neglect. After only a few drinks, the crowd was not allowed to make any noise and took the champion to walk in.

Generally speaking, it takes a day for the case division to hear a case. On weekdays, ordinary cases should be heard directly in the yamen, unless the noble family has a big grievance to sue, and they are afraid that the accused person has too much power, and the Yamen people intervene in the case and decide unfairly. The case division can also choose whether to try the case or not. After all, there are too many twists and turns in rich and noble families. If one is not careful, he will get into trouble. Today, however, since an official dares to settle the complaint, it is obvious that he has been called by the adults long before. When he takes over the case, he is going to try it. The crowd around him will know that there will be another scene to watch tomorrow.

Dewdrop was not enough, so she said in a loud voice: "Xia Yan, concubine of Shangshu's house, poisoned his mother, murdered his son and daughter, and the means were cruel. As the head of the family, Jiang Shangshu pretended to be deaf and pushed the boat. My mother died, but she said she was ill and died. Please try the case carefully, and give my lady and my wife a clean and fair

The crowd that was about to disperse was boiling again. Dewdrop's words broke out a shocking scandal. As a matter of fact, there are many cases in which the concubines of big families plot to kill the upper members of the main family. But if Jiang Quanming knew what happened but pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even acquiesced in Xia Yan's practice, this would be the first time. Any official in the capital who has some reputation and is not a fool will definitely not let this happen. It's just that once it's exposed, it's a huge stain. Women's fight in the backyard is jealous. Men should not be involved in it, especially when they do things that fall into the pit. A man can be so cruel to his hairy wife, and there is no human nature to speak of.

For example, before Jiang Quan was just a ridiculous person who couldn't deal with the affairs in the backyard. Now when dewdrop's words come out, Jiang Quan will become the representative of an ugly man in the capital. He is not only benevolent but also vicious in the bottom of his heart. What's more, he has a determination to abandon his own flesh and blood. It's one in a million to be a parent.

Dewdrop and forsythia look at each other and smile, both of them have a kind of heartbreaking and evil spirit. They have been with Jiang Ruan for many years, and they have a clear idea of how Jiang Quan treats him. It's better not to have such a father. The injustice of Zhao Mei's death, and the status of Jiang Ruan's brothers and sisters in Shangshu mansion have changed from being bullied to not being underestimated. Now it's a little revenge, and they are very happy.

Princess Hong'an sued her father, but in a short time it spread all over the capital. Xia Yan and Xia family are gone, and Jiang Chao and Jiang Susu are dead. Naturally, there is no proof of death. However, the only Jiang Quan is still alive, which is tantamount to pointing all the spearheads at Jiang Quan.

In the palace, Jiang Ruan looked at the sun in the sky. Early in the morning, the snow stopped, even a little bit of the sun, the weather is good, she slowly picked up a cup of tea, sipped, just to the side of Jin three and Tianzhu way: "go, time is almost the same."

Tianzhu got up, put the silver rat fur cape on her, put a heater in her hand, and then followed her out of the door.

……

Shangshu mansion is very busy today. Since the death of Jiang Chao, no, it should be said that many years ago, when Jiang Quan's official career began to go downhill, Shangshu mansion is no longer as busy as it used to be. When Jiang Quan was a fish in water in the court, people came to visit him every day, and there were too many posts in the room to put on the table. Jiang Quan discussed the current situation in the middle of the Korean Dynasty with the senior officials and nobles. Xia Yan exchanged greetings and joked with the ladies. They were all exquisite people, and the whole Jiang family heard a lot of laughter. At that time, Jiang Su Su Su was still a fairy who did not follow the common customs. In the garden, he could play a piece of konghou to attract people to stop and linger. How many aristocratic children are bewildered by the beautiful sound of the piano. They stand in the corner of the outer wall and listen to the music. They fall in love with the beauty. And Jiang Chao always came back from the Imperial College and talked with his new family.At that time, Mrs. Jiang was still alive. The second aunt and Jiang Li were angry with Xia Yan every day, and Jiang Dan was timid in the room. In the end, it was a piece of prosperity. People have speculated that the seemingly clean Shangshu mansion will become the mainstay of the imperial court one day. Because they're loyal enough, and there's no mistake.

All this prosperity seemed to be yesterday, and the excitement had nothing to do with Jiang Ruan, as if their mother and son had never been strangers. Later, when she came, the Shangshu mansion seemed to be infected by evil and gradually declined. The glory of the past is no longer there, and people have said that it's not that the time has not come, but God is watching. The reason planted by Shangshu mansion in the past has finally caused the evil result of today. In recent years, there have been frequent accidents in Jiang's house. Now, Jiang Ruan's complaint tears the real cause to the public.

The common people are simple and direct in mind. Some people directly blocked the door of Shangshu mansion and threw eggs, vegetables and leaves at the door. When the guards of Jiang mansion came out to stop them, they were also scolded as bloody. They did not dare to fight any more, so they had to close the door in the anger of the people. It was difficult for them to offend.

When they were filled with righteous indignation, they saw a carriage coming slowly from the crowd, and the crowd automatically divided into two groups. The carriage was exquisite, but it didn't last long. It had a deep aesthetic feeling. The driver was a tall and handsome young man. At first sight, he knew that he was a rich family. People just look at it, they seem to feel that the people in the carriage are rich or expensive. Seeing that it's coming to shangshufu, they keep silent and wait.

The carriage finally stopped, the curtain was lifted, and two tall young women jumped out of it. The two stooped and picked up a woman from the carriage.

The woman was dressed in a scarlet velvet embroidered jacket and a bright emerald crepe skirt. The red and green color of the dress was not gaudy. On the contrary, it had a striking beauty. He wore a gold and silver rat hair cape over his head and a heater in his hand. His skin was as white as jade, and his face was very beautiful. He only wore a quiet pony bun, which made the gorgeous color a little heavier. A pair of eyes of water amazing, just plain eyes, teach the soul stirring bright show a bit of inhospitality and indifference.

Someone in the crowd recognized her and exclaimed, "that's the eldest daughter of the Chiang family, Princess Hong'an!"

Jiang's daughter, this is her first name. Even if she was Princess Jinying and Princess Hong'an, she was the daughter of the Jiang family. It is thought-provoking to be here at this moment. Everyone knows that she just sent her own girl to take charge of the case this morning. What's she doing in Shangshu mansion now? They all wanted to see what she would do next.

Jiang Ruan Chong and Tianzhu winked. Tianzhu understood, so she went to the gate of Shangshu mansion and knocked on it three times. Her action was polite and gentle. She didn't come to find fault. Instead, she looked like a guest. She was very polite. Then she said respectfully, "please let me know. My princess will return to her mansion today."

Since Jiang Ruan married into Jinying palace, he was poisoned before he could return to Nanjing. But even so, Shangshu mansion is not a long way from Jinying mansion. If you have a heart, you can always send someone to ask. Unexpectedly, Jiang Quan was able to keep silent and never mentioned it. As if she had no daughter at all, when Tianzhu mentioned guining, the people around her took a breath. I had known that Chiang Kai Shek's daughter was not very close to Chiang Kai Shek's power, but it was a joke that she had been married for such a long time.

When the people in the house didn't respond, Tianzhu carefully retreated behind Jiang Ruan, and the three stood quietly at the door of Jiang Ruan's house. The crowd around them murmured, but they were also shocked by Jiang Ruan's coldness at this moment. Because her eyes were deep at the moment, as if she was not looking at Jiang's house, but through the door of Jiang's house for a long time.

Jiang Ruan's thoughts went back to the last life. It was such a snowy day that she returned to Jiang's house from Zhuangzi for the first time. This is his own home, but it seems to be under the fence, standing at the door of Shangshu house is both nervous and happy. She was dressed in rags. There were people around her pointing at her and speculating about her identity. She felt ashamed and shameless. At the door, Xia Yan and Jiang Su Su dressed up to greet her. The more gentle and elegant they are, the more vulgar she is. Just under the plaque of Jiang's house, the closed door opened, and all kinds of injuries and humiliations poured out from it. From the gate of Jiang's mansion to the gate of Shen Gong, she was more and more embarrassed. The picture of the previous life is like a joke, which reminds her of the unforgettable past all the time.

Now? Jiang Ruan raised his head and his eyes fell on the huge plaque of Shangshu mansion. It was a plaque given by the late emperor, the pride of Jiang Quan, but I don't know when it was covered with dust. Xia Yan's favorite thing in his former life was to ask his servants to wipe the plaque clean, as if it represented the glory of the Jiang family. Now the Chiang family is about to collapse. When she returned to Jiang's house in this life, she vowed to kill all the people who had hurt her relatives in her previous life. She planted a seed of revenge here. Now the seed has already broken the ground and grown into a towering tree. With a little more effort, she can uproot the huge grave that buried her and her family.

I don't know how long after that, the door creaked open. Behind the servant behind the door, slowly out of a man in official clothes, his face is gloomy, staring at Jiang Ruan.Maybe Jiang Quan had not yet changed his clothes, or he wanted to use his clothes to suppress Jiang Ruan's momentum. It's just that it's really haggard. Jiang Ruan smile, polite greeting: "father, long time no see."

Long time no see, Jiang Quan and Jiang Ruan impression of the middle-aged man is almost different. He has lost a lot of weight, and his skin is very dark. His cheekbones on both sides are deeply sunken. He is surprisingly thin, and his whole body has shown an old state. Jiang Quan has always been a man who pays attention to appearance. At the beginning, he was as young and elegant as he was when he was thirty years old. Now it's a man who is not so good-looking, and maybe he's a bit decadent.

as like as two peas in the same eyes, Chiang Kai Shek sneered at "the same," you still see my Chiang family in my eyes?

Jiang Ruan nodded: "I always keep my father in my heart. I never dare to forget him." How dare you forget blood feud and shame? Her lips slightly Yang: "but the father does not seem to like the daughter so just."

The meaning of these words is to accuse Jiang Quan of being unkind to his father. He was so angry that he said, "I've shortened your food and clothing. Don't forget that I'm still your father! How did you grow up without me? Now the wings are hard, and someone supports you. It's your father! This is the wild rule learned from the wild places in the mountains Jiang Quan, a scholar of his own identity, has never spoken so politely that outsiders have never seen him swear so vulgar. At the moment, I was very anxious, but I didn't choose what to say. I saw the real appearance in the crowd around me.

"No father, no me." Jiang Ruan said faintly: "thanks to my father, when my mother was still alive, my elder brother and I only saw my father dozens of times in a year, but aunt Xia's second sister and elder brother stayed with my father all day. The second brother could enter his father's study, but the elder brother even invited the master himself by his mother. The second sister has the best mother of Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting, but I was taught by my mother herself - but my mother came from a military family and knew nothing about them. Father, do you want to say that it's because you are considerate of your mother's heart that you want me and my elder brother to stay around all the time? "

This is full of irony, Jiang Quan's face slowly red, immediately to retort: "this..."

"But it's a pleasure to be with my mother, and it's nothing. I don't love music, chess, calligraphy and painting. My elder brother doesn't learn to be a civil servant now. All this is thanks to my father's foresight. " There was a trace of irony in Jiang Ruan's eyes, and he continued: "it's just that my elder brother is ill and wants to see a doctor at night, but aunt Xia insists that my father has gone to bed. Tomorrow, my mother has to warm my elder brother with her body all night. If it's not for her fate, my elder brother can't be safe now. What's the father going to explain Without waiting for Jiang Quan to speak, Jiang Ruan said with a smile, "my father's business is busy. I can save it. So when my mother was seriously ill, my father didn't come, and when I was dying, my father didn't come either. Only the day when Aunt Xia helped me to put the dish on the table, my father took my second brother and sister and laughed happily. My elder brother left home angrily, but I was sent to Chuang Tzu. "

She chuckled gently: "why was sent to Chuang Tzu? Did her father remember? Because a Taoist said that I was a lonely star of Tiansha, Kefu and Kemu. But five years later, I returned to Beijing. The Taoist did the same trick again and was found out to be a liar. Father still remember who was the employer behind the Taoist priest? It was my father's favorite concubine, and then my mother, aunt Xia. "

She said long and sighed, but the people around her were frightened. Even a little girl would not let it go. Xia Yan's mind was too cruel.

"Does my father want to say that he doesn't know about it at all? I'm afraid there are many things that my father doesn't know. For example, on the day when my elder brother returned to Beijing, he was ambushed in the woods, but he wanted to kill him. If general Guan hadn't come to the rescue at that time, I'm afraid it would have been a disaster. Who does the father know? Naturally, my father doesn't know, because it's also my father's favorite concubine, aunt Xia. " Jiang Ruan said with a smile, "my father wants to be an honest and upright official, but he can't even know the people beside his pillow. It's really painful for my daughter to look at him."

Some people around him sneered and gave some advice. They only said, "it turns out that Shangshu mansion is such a tiger hole and dragon pool. No wonder general Jiang wants to be a warrior. Otherwise, how can he protect himself and his sister? I'm afraid there are no bones left for him!"

Xia Yan's mind was so vicious that he wanted to keep even Jiang Xinzhi and Jiang Ruan. I don't know what old grudge Zhao Mei had with her. If such a cruel woman said that Jiang Quan didn't know anything, she really looked down upon the official of the third grade. If we don't believe it, we just turn a blind eye. If we say that Jiang Quan pushed Zhao Mei's death along with the current, it would be a reputation of being a wolf. But even his own sons and daughters all work together. If they don't know, it's really hard to understand. It is said that tiger poison does not eat son. Is Jiang Quan's heart beaten by iron?

"You. What the hell are you talking about? " Jiang Quan became angry because he was afraid that Jiang Ruan would reveal more secrets: "you talk nonsense without evidence. Who taught you to say that and insult my Shangshu mansion? What is his purpose? "

Jiang Quan was an old fox. He quickly thought that it would lead to people's doubts. As the son and daughter of Shangshu mansion, Jiang Ruan naturally won't wronged his father for no reason, but what if someone gives advice behind his back? Now that Jiang Ruan is married to King Jinying, the person behind him naturally refers to Xiao Shao.There was a flash of anger in Tianzhu's and Jinsan's eyes. At this time, Jiang Quan even wanted to bite. It's a crime to forgive. Jiang Ruan smile: "father, these are not important. When my aunt in early summer asked someone to prescribe medicine to my mother, I naturally had evidence. My mother told me since childhood, don't climb and bite others

All of a sudden, there was another burst of laughter. Jiang Quan thought that Jiang Ruan was just bluffing. After so many years, Jiang Ruan was just a child and didn't know anything. Now that Xia Yan is dead, there is no evidence. Jiang Quan was not worried, but after Jiang Ruan's quarrel, he realized that his face today had been lost. He was furious and said, "do you really want to do this? Evil daughter, how dare you sue your father? Where is the word filial piety? Where is my father? "

In this world, in any case, a cap with the word "filial piety" is always going to crush off several layers of skin. No matter how ruthless Jiang Quan may be, he is Jiang Ruan's father by blood. There is no such thing as a daughter suing his father. Even if your parents want you to die, you have to suffer. Because this is the code of ethics, and it is the rule that all people in the world should follow. Seeing that Jiang and Ruan did not speak, Jiang Quan felt a little proud in his eyes. He only felt that his waist was more straight, and he felt more confident. "Don't forget, you are my blood! Without me, where did you come from? "

The crowd around him was silent. Indeed, even if what Jiang Ruan said was true, his views on Jiang Ruan were very complicated when he denounced Jiang Quan for being merciless. It's a shocking thing to sue my father, and there are some different opinions about Jinying palace. Jiang Ruan, as a child, has done such a thing, which is not too much. Even if this lawsuit won in the end, Jiang Ruan, who was left behind, had to face the strange eyes of the people.

Jiang Ruan was not influenced by people's eyes at all. She was graceful in the cold wind. It was a brave gesture that could not be blown by any strong wind. It seemed that she would never compromise. And the words were cold and hard, and slowly knocked into people's ears: "indeed, father, you gave me life, without you, there would be no me. You gave me half the blood and bone, but God knows, "she sneered," how disgusting I am. "

Before her voice fell, she saw a delicate dagger in her hand. People were surprised, but they didn't know what she was going to do. Then they saw that the dagger was lightly scratched on the back of her hand, and big drops of blood came out, blooming brightly in the snow.

Her smile was gorgeous and cruel, her words were cold and resolute, and she opened her lips in front of Jiang Quan's gaping eyes: "now, I'll give it back to you."
