Chapter 140

What he said was understated, and he could hold people's lives in the palm of his hand when talking and laughing. Jiang Li suddenly gave birth to a ridiculous feeling, whether Ji Xuan, like Princess Yongning, just because she was in a high position, took it for granted that as long as she blocked her way, she could be discarded without effort.

But soon, she stopped her wishful thinking. Ji Heng and the Marquis of Ningyuan have no grievances and no enmity. It is for himself to say such words. If she is picky again, she is really ignorant.

Jiang Li also doesn't want to be a person who picks up the bowl to eat and puts down the bowl to scold his mother.

She said, "thank you for your kindness, but it's not easy to explain the matter of life at the end of Ningyuan Marquis mansion. Now Yanjing city is in a troubled time, and it's suspicious to have trouble again."

She politely refused Ji Heng's help.

Ji Heng said noncommittally, "then be more careful yourself." After a pause, he reminded, "your life is mine. Don't be taken by others accidentally."

Jiang Li smiled, "yes."

After talking with Ji Heng for a while, Jiang Li went out of the room to see Xue Huaiyuan. Situ September today is the first time for Xue Huaiyuan to inject needles. Xue Huaiyuan was extremely afraid. Jiang Li had to hold Xue Huaiyuan's shoulder and coaxed him softly. Xue Huaiyuan gradually quieted down.

"He listens to you very much." Situ Jiu glanced at her, "it's very rare."

"After I took Xue Xiancheng out of Tongxiang prison, I took care of him for a long time. Although he lost his mind, he didn't know who was good to him. When I was there, he would feel at ease."

"It's more than that." Situ September put a silver needle into Xue Huaiyuan's acupoint, and without raising his head, he continued: "this kind of person who has lost his mind, everyone is the same. He won't be very good or bad for people, but his attitude towards you is obviously different. Ye Mingyu has been with him for a long time here, and he has no feelings for ye Mingyu."

"Did you know each other before?" Situ Jiujiu asked.

Jiang Li jumped in her heart and categorically denied, "no, I was in Yanjing City, and then I went to Qingcheng Mountain. Xue Xiancheng has been in Tongxiang, and we have no intersection."

"This is strange." Situ Jiujiu seemed a little puzzled, "it should be in his residual memory habits that he made such a move to you. You are a familiar person to her."

Jiang Li had to say, "I don't know why."

Situ Jiujiu glanced at her again: "I've heard about you. You're so brave. No wonder Ji Heng will treat you differently."

Seeing that she called Ji Chen by name, Jiang Li was curious and asked, "the girl in September seems to be very familiar with the Lord?"

"Sort of." Situ Jiujiu said, "we all have lifesaving grace."

Jiang Li was surprised. Ji Xuan saved situ Jiujiu's life, but Jiang Li was not surprised. I remember that it was many years ago when Mo Lan was in turmoil. At that time, situ September should still be a little girl of five or six years old. Without self-protection ability, Mo lanli is on the edge of the eastern line of Beiyan. Situ can come to Beiyan in September, and he should have the help of Beiyan people. Jiang Li doesn't know whether this person is Ji Heng.

But situ Jiujiu also saved Ji Heng's life?

"Don't look at him now. He almost died back then." Situ Jiujiu said, "it's so easy to survive. Now no one can die."

Jiang Li: "...."

This girl is really rude.

There was no one else in the room. Xue Huaiyuan cried out "Yaya". Situ Jiujiu held his back neck with one hand and slowly stabbed a silver needle into it, One side said, "but he asked me to come and help you, which was unexpected. You look like a bad person. Lu Ji said that you were wronged for killing your mother and brother in those years, tut tut tut." she said, "although you have the courage to act in Tongxiang, you are a kind rabbit in the end. The people around Ji Heng are not good people. How can you mix with them? Let me say," she started skillfully and looked at Jiang Li dazzling, "You might as well draw a line with Ji Heng as soon as possible, so as not to implicate you in the future. Even if you can't be implicated, you will sooner or later be scared to death by him."

Jiang Li smiled, "thank you for your relationship with the girl in September."

Situ September frowned, "I'm not concerned about you."

Jiang Li was funny in her heart. Situ September looked a year or two older than Miss Jiang Er, but he was smaller than himself in his previous life. However, her style of speaking and acting is quite elegant. Talking to herself at this moment is like the elder sister comforting the naive little sister. Intimidation is half persuasion.

However, it is also true that life has undergone sudden changes, and it is inevitable to grow up overnight. Innocence can't save your life.

While still thinking, situ Jiujiu had finished the last needle for Xue Huaiyuan. Xue Huaiyuan seemed to be tired and fell asleep. Jiang Li helped him to the bed and lay down, covered the quilt and tucked in the corner.

Situ Jiujiu stood by and looked at her. She was sweet and lovely. She was born in black, and her smile was also a little cruel. At first glance, she was not a good person to provoke. She said, "you are really good at taking care of people."

"Really?" Jiang Li smiled.

"Didn't anyone say that?" Situ September is strange.

"You are the first." Jiang Li Dao.

When she was in her husband's family in her previous life, she served the Shen family well, but she never received any praise. Before she got married, Xue Zhao did all this. Xue Huaiyuan loves his daughter, but he wants to temper his son. Xue Zhao can even cook besides his literary skills.

Sometimes Jiang Li felt that as her sister, she had to accept many care from Xue Zhao.

Thinking, I suddenly saw something shaking in front of me. Situ Jiujiu was good at shaking in front of her eyes and said, "what did you think of, so distracted?"

Jiang Li regained consciousness and said, "it's the thought of home."

Situ Jiujiu said, "OK."

"In September, the girl specially treated Xue County Cheng. Jiang Li thanked her first."

"No thanks." Situ Jiujiu said, "I don't dare to disobey Ji Heng's orders. What else are you doing? If there's nothing wrong, I'll go first."

With these words, she really left without saying a word to Jiang Lido. However, Jiang Li didn't think there was anything, but thought the girl was very interesting.

She went out, and Ji Heng left at some time. Hearing that she came out from a distance, her eyes lit up and she was entangled with "second Miss" one by one. Jiang Li was so anxious by his enthusiasm that she casually found an excuse and left Ye's house to go back to Jiang's house first.

After Jiang Li left, Wen Renyao stood in the yard and asked situ Jiujiu, "September, do I look good?"

Situ Jiujiu: "get out!"

"Curious and strange," he looked at it in the mirror. The young man in it was still white faced and handsome, and his appearance was as beautiful as jade. He said, "why did Miss Jiang Er see me like a ghost? Don't ordinary girls laugh extra happily when I treat them like this?"

Situ September sneered, "Ji Heng looks much better than you. Jiang Li is very calm when she sees him. She doesn't like good food, but she still likes shit?"

Wen Renyao: "...."

He said, "you are so vulgar!"

……

In the Jiang mansion, in the evening Phoenix hall, old lady Jiang sat with her eyes closed.

After the matter of Taoist Chongxu, aunt Hu died of shortsightedness. The Jiang family is also considered to have experienced great changes, although this matter has not been disclosed to outsiders. But the yuan family knows it well. In such a situation, Ji shuran killed several lives under her own eyes. Old lady Jiang seemed to be getting old a lot overnight.

She has always been hale and hearty. Even if she is old, she still has some courage and dignity comparable to her youth. But after this, it seemed that most of her energy and spirit had been taken away. Just looking around, Mammy saw that old lady Jiang was sitting with her eyes closed all day.

She didn't even look at her favorite grandson Jiang Bingji.

Feicui came in and said, "old lady, the third miss is still outside, begging to see you."

Old lady Jiang opened her closed eyes, but didn't look at emerald. She just looked at the stove in front of her and said, "let her go back."

Feicui said, "yes." He left to reply with Jiang Youyao.

Mammy stood beside old lady Jiang, carefully rubbed her shoulders and said, "the third miss has come to see the old lady several times these days."

"She's smart. Instead of looking for his father, she came to me." Mrs. Jiang's tone was slightly sarcastic.

Jiang Yuanbai loves Jiang Youyao the most, but once this matter is over, Jiang Youyao has not begged for Ji shuran in front of Jiang Yuanbai. Instead, she came to find old lady Jiang. She was afraid that Jiang Yuanbai would anger herself because of Ji shuran, so she simply chose not to appear in front of Jiang Yuanbai.

"As smart as her mother." Old man Jiang is humane, and his eyes are a little tired.

Although I know what Ji shuran did has nothing to do with Jiang Youyao, people grow up eating cereals and have seven emotions and six desires. It's one thing to know intellectually, but it's another thing to be able to do it in fact. Mr. Jiang knew in his heart that he could not anger Jiang Youyao, but as long as he thought of Ye Zhenzhen, the dead Jiang Yuer, Ji shuran and even Liu Wencai who had an adultery, Mrs. Jiang was disgusted, and she really didn't like watching Jiang Youyao.

In fact, it is difficult for her to treat Jiang Bingji, who was brought up with one hand, as she used to, let alone Jiang Youyao.

"Old lady... A few days have passed. What do you want to do with Ji's head?" Mammy asked.

Mrs. Jiang's action was a slight pause.

After a long silence, Mammy almost thought whether old lady Jiang was asleep. When old lady Jiang's flat voice rang, "feed the medicine."

Mammy's hand shook, and the yuan family had not fed medicine for many years. Although the old lady treats people severely, she rarely does anything that hurts people's lives. Unless it is a servant who has made a big mistake, he will not be killed directly. It can be seen that this time I hate Ji shuran so much that I have to kill her.

"What? You think I'm too hard?" Old lady Jiang noticed the other party's hesitation, and before mammy answered, she mocked herself, "I don't think it's too cheap for her. Not to mention that she had an affair with her adulterer and was pregnant with a bad son, even if our yuan family lost three lives. Three lives." She murmured, "you said how vicious you are, so that you can even kill the child."

"I told yuan Bai long ago that you don't have to marry too smart to marry a wife, and you don't have to cling to anything based on the family background of the yuan family. Although Ye's family background is a little inferior, it's important to be honest and gentle. Now I think, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse. Maybe it's because ye's usual behavior is too lenient that he makes his men have different intentions, is bewitched by Ji's, and lost his life. However, this is also the sin of my lax governance, if I had paid more attention to it in those days Some, ye may not be able to achieve Ji's way. "

"The old lady doesn't have to blame herself too much." Mammy said, "who knows when the lady was still there, Ji Shi took a fancy to her position and had a bad heart? This is also unheard of in Yanjing."

"Not to mention Ye Shi, I didn't take good care of her daughter's second daughter." Mrs. Jiang's smile was a little bitter. "When the second girl kept saying that she didn't push Ji Shi, I only believed in my eyes. I never thought it was just a play made by Ji Shi. I just didn't think that Ji Shi could even give up the bones and flesh in his belly."

Mammy thought of this, but she was also shocked. That's my own flesh. Even if it's an adulterer, it's connected with my own blood. Ji Shi unexpectedly gave up without hesitation in order to frame Jiang Li. He deceived everyone in full view.

"The second girl stayed in Qingcheng Mountain for eight years. Now she's back. Look, has she ever been close to a person in this house?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Mammy was speechless.

The second young lady is gentle and polite, but if you want to say how close she is, she is not even polite to Jiang Yuanbai.

"She goes to Ye's house every day. Besides, she is much closer to an outsider who has lost his mind than we are. This is our own fault. She naturally doesn't like us when she abandoned her."

Old lady Jiang said this sadly, and mammy couldn't help but feel sour when she heard it. She advised, "the second young lady has just returned to the Jiang family, and she hasn't stayed for a long time, and she has a knot in her heart. Now the truth of Ji's affair has been revealed, and her knot has been untied. After a long time, it will naturally be fine. You and the eldest master are her relatives. If she doesn't get close to you, who else can she get close to?"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "I've lived so old that one foot is the person who steps into the coffin. I haven't seen anyone before. At this age, there are few people who want to look out of the eye. The second girl won't be close to us. Her heart has hardened, and nothing will help. It's too late."

It was an unquestionable tone.

Before mammy could speak, Mrs. Jiang's voice came again: "but it's good. In this way, she won't be bullied like her mother. Be hard hearted and keep an eye on everything, so that she won't be cheated in the future. In this way, I'll be at ease."

Mammy thought for a moment and said, "the old lady doesn't have to say death first. People's hearts are full of flesh. As long as we treat the second young lady well from now on, the second young lady will see it one day."

Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, "come on, when I was alive, I don't know if I can see that time. The second girl hasn't returned to the house yet?"

"I went out to the Ye family." Mammy said.

"When she comes back, let her go to see Ji Shi. If you have anything to say to Ji Shi, just say it to Ji Shi."

"Old lady, this is..." Mammy was surprised.

"After she meets Ji Shi, give Ji Shi medicine." Mr. Jiang's eyes and eyebrows were frozen. "Get on the road early and make atonement early."

With these words, she closed her eyes again, as if she were asleep.

Mammy was silent for a long time and did not continue to speak.

……

In Yao Guangzhu, Jiang Youyao paced impatiently in the room.

Ji shuran was locked up, and no one was allowed to come near. She couldn't visit Ji shuran. In fact, Jiang Youyao didn't dare to visit her. Even though she was not sensible on weekdays, the crime that Ji shuran admitted that day was too shocking. Other than that, Jiang Youyao also knows that the Jiang family will not forgive Ji shuran lightly.

Xuefangfei, the first lady of Yanjing, was found guilty of adultery. Now, when people mention her, they only say "slut". Now this person has been replaced by Ji shuran. It is conceivable that if it is spread out, the current prime minister's wife has an affair, which is definitely more interesting than the first scholar's wife's.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang has handled it well, and all the servants in the yard hold the deed of sale in her hand, ensuring that no word will be revealed. Even so, Jiang Youyao was nervous. There are also two rooms and three rooms looking at her. When Lu Shi saw her these two days, the irony in her eyes really made Jiang Youyao want to find a hole in the ground.

Ji shuran was dirty, and people looked at her with dirty eyes, as if she was the adulterer. But she is not. She is the daughter of the Jiang family, a real golden branch and jade leaf! Others can't take this position, and they will never take it!

"Miss... What should I do... The old lady is too tough." Servant girl Golden Flower way.

"Did you reply to the letter I wrote to my aunt?" Jiang Youyao asked.

Now the wall is falling and everyone is pushing. It's harder to take out a letter than to go to heaven. She spent a lot of money to buy the young servant of Jiang mansion and send the letter to Chen Ji. In her heart, Jiang Li asked Chen Jishi to go to the palace to find Li Bin. Li Bin must have a way.

Yinhua shook her head.

Jiang Youyao immediately looked disappointed and said, "no, is it because the old lady is guarding the Jiang family too tightly now, and the letters outside can't come in? Jinhua, go and ask again."

Jinhua said cautiously, "Miss, I'm afraid Mrs. Chen won't come again. The Ji family came after Mrs. Chen's accident the day before yesterday, but then they left... Are they going to stop caring about her?" If there is room for turning things around, the Ji family will definitely not leave so simply, at least for another period of time in the government. But they just left.

With a "pa" sound, Jinhua was slapped by Jiang Youyao, Jiang Youyao hated and said, "nonsense! Grandma and aunt, how can they ignore my mother? It's obviously a delaying tactic! I don't know what grandma and father said before cheating my aunt. They left, aunt, they don't know what my mother is now. Now I have written clearly in my letter, they will come to rescue us immediately after they know my mother's situation!"

Jinhua quickly knelt down and said, "I know my mistake. It's nonsense. Mrs. Chen will come to save her."

Jiang Youyao's anger remained in her heart. Although she was determined, her heart gradually became uneasy with Jinhua's words.

Ji shuran didn't tell her exactly how unlucky Jiang Li would be that day, but Jiang Youyao could vaguely guess that the final result should not be like this. The Taoist priest Chongxu didn't hear from him later. If Chen Jishi asked for help from Li Bin in the palace, Li Bin would not stand idly by, but why hasn't there been any news yet? Even if Ji Chen can't enter Jiang's house, he can always do it with a message.

But, no, nothing.

It won't work like this. Although Jiang Youyao is afraid in her heart, she also knows that the only thing the government can really think of for her is Ji shuran. Jiang Yuanbai is now angry with Ji shuran, and she doesn't know whether she will forgive her mother, but it's not good for her to wait like this. Who knows if that bitch Jiang Li will secretly use any Yin moves?

She stood up and said, "no, I have to find a way to get out of the house."

"Miss?" Silver flower was stunned: "now the government is in strict control, how can we go out?"

In order to prevent the servants from spreading the matter, not a fly in the house is allowed to fly out, not to mention a big living person like Jiang Youyao. Although Jiang Youyao was not grounded, she couldn't go anywhere.

"Damn it." Jiang Youyao sat down in a chair dejectedly, "what can I do?"

……

It's getting dark.

Jiang Li is probably one of the people who can get in and out of the house freely. She just came back from the Ye family and walked to Fangfei garden. Qingfeng and Mingyue sat in the yard embroidering purses. Seeing Jiang Li coming back, they got up to meet him.

"What happened in the mansion?" Jiang Li asked.

"Baoqin came and returned the silver and charcoal fire that the girl had previously given to Aunt Hu." The Moon said, "Baoqin followed aunt Hu all her life. After aunt Hu left, Baoqin had no place to go. The old lady returned the deed of sale to Baoqin and asked Baoqin to go home. However, Baoqin seemed to have given up and said that she would go to the temple and live the rest of her life." Mingyue sighed, "I'm also a poor man."

"Has she gone?" Jiang Li asked.

"Leave the house tomorrow."

Jiang Lifu handed the silver to Mingyue again: "although it's to go to the temple, silver is also essential. The future is very long, so you don't have to gamble all the way out now. But now she can't listen to these words. Think of a way to bring the silver to her, don't let her know." Jiang Li Dao.

Mingyue took the silver and was stunned. After a while, she smiled and said, "girl, you are so kind."

"It's just feelings." Jiang Li shook her head.

"By the way, the pearl beside the old lady also came." Qingfeng thought of something and said, "Pearl said that after the old lady asked the girl to come back, you can go to see Ji Shi. If you have anything to say to Ji Shi, you can go to talk to Ji Shi."

Tong'er was surprised: "didn't the old lady keep people away from Ji's madman?"

"Who knows, maybe it's for the girl's sake. Ji Shi hurt the girl and his wife so badly, so naturally he should scold her well, and then he can relieve his anger." Qingfeng doesn't think so.

Jiang Li didn't think so. The old lady suddenly said this sentence, which only showed that she was determined. Ji shuran's way is here. The old lady asked her to meet Ji shuran for the last time.

Jiang Li said, "since it's the old lady, let's go."

"Now?" Tong'er asked.

"Right now."

No matter how late it is, it will be too late.

……

Ji shuran was tied to an old house in the side yard.

There were white silk hanging inside and outside the house. Aunt Hu died. Originally, aunt Hu had gone to the house, so big families didn't have to deal with funerals, especially people like aunt Hu, who had been in the house for years and few people remembered. But because Aunt Hu died so tragically, the yuan family was ashamed, so even if she was an aunt, she was still buried well, and everyone in the house wore filial piety.

The same is true of the room where Ji shuran stayed. Only two white candles were lit in the room, and the candle oil dripping into a strange shape, like human tears. I don't know who set up the copper basin at the door. There are still paper money in it that hasn't been burned out. Some of them flew out and were reflected on the window, lightly dancing with strange shadows.

Ji shuran shrank in the corner, her back cold.

There is no one in the room. Her heart was very afraid, and even those rude women who were hostile to her felt particularly missed at the moment. At least there was someone in the room, she wouldn't feel so ghostly.

She always thought she was not afraid of ghosts and gods. As long as people have means, ghosts are afraid of villains. But on the day when Taoist Chongxu came to exorcise evil spirits, she saw it with her own eyes and shattered her firmness in her heart. There are ghosts in this world. Once this is confirmed, Ji shuran closes her eyes and can see those who have been killed by her own people coming with open teeth and claws.

Ye Zhenzhen, Jiang Yuer, Liu Wencai, Si Qi, and many others, including her baby. Her mind is extremely noisy, with many people talking. At this time, she felt extremely vulnerable and hoped that Jiang Bingji and Jiang Youyao would be in front of her.

However, they did not come.

Think about it, she is now an unforgivable sin in front of the yuan family. Naturally, her sons and daughters should also be expressly forbidden to visit her. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang are not unreasonable people. They will not anger a pair of children because of themselves. In this way, Ji shuran's heart is better.

Just then, there seemed to be a sound outside. Ji shuran curled up nervously, and her hands and feet were tied up, which made her unable to move or escape. Since she was born, although she was not a royal relative, she had never had a hard time, not to mention being replaced by others. Ji shuran thought that the yuan family treated her so harshly that if she went out, her sister Li Bin would find a way to revenge the yuan family.

Yes, Ji shuran still wants to go out.

At first, she thought she would not have a chance to live, because the ghost of Liu Wencai appeared. But I don't know why, Liu Wencai didn't take her away. As long as people are not dead, the desire to survive will be particularly strong. After Ji shuran calmed down, she thought about how to escape.

Not to mention anything else, at least her sister is the emperor's favorite concubine. If the yuan family wants to move her, they have to weigh it up.

The footsteps outside the door gradually became clear, step by step, not light or heavy, but Ji shuran felt that every step hit her heart hard.

Someone's voice came from outside.

The door opened with a squeak.

The wind blew the paper money on the ground, and someone came in wearing a plain white dress, white flowers and lanterns.

It's Ginger pear.
