On this day, Jiang Xuening returned to the mansion very late.
After taking a shower, I lay down on the bed that had been made. It was already late at night.
The jasmine bracelet that Yan Lin tied around her wrist was carefully untied by her, and gently placed on the dowry, the faint fragrance spread to her pillow, becoming very light and light, but it kept permeating In a deep dream.
It's just that when he got up early the next morning, the bunch of jasmines on the dowry were defeated.
The originally plump petals drooped, as if they had lost their vitality and moisture, showing a sluggish posture.
Although winter jasmine is rare and beautiful, it is not the best time to bloom after all.
Jiang Xuening stood in front of the makeup mirror and looked down at it for a long time.
Then he picked it up, put it into a small box of Tibetan incense, and put it on the desk.
The palace only gave two days for these selected companions to go home to visit their parents, say goodbye to their families, and make preparations for permanent residence in the palace. The time is really not enough, and they will re-enter the palace this evening. .
The maids and women in the room were all helping Jiang Xuening pack her things.
She didn't need to be busy herself, she just sat in a daze on the porch outside, thinking about the current situation and her own situation.
Originally, he didn't intend to enter the palace, but in the end, he met a group of "spiritual teammates", and he brought himself into the palace to choose as a companion. The Jiang family's family status is certainly not low in Beijing, but it is far inferior compared to other aristocratic families. In the last life, her biggest reliance for entering the palace was actually Yan Lin.
But not long after that, something happened in the Yongyi Hou's mansion.
At that time, she was not a gregarious person, and she couldn't get along with other companions in terms of temperament, and because of an accident in the Yongyi Hou's mansion, there were many people in the palace who saw the wind and made trouble, so it was very difficult for a while. suffering.
Fortunately, she later caught up with Shen Jie.
After getting into the eyes of His Highness King Linzi, the situation gradually improved, and no one dared to bully her anymore.
She was stupid in her previous life, and she was not prepared for what happened at that time, so she suffered so much. Now the result of the accident in the Yongyi Hou's Mansion is probably unavoidable, and the matter of entering the palace is a foregone conclusion. She will live in the palace for half a year, and she really doesn't want to be too deeply involved with the royal family in this life, so spend all her time This road of trying to please Shen Jie in order to protect himself should never be taken no matter what.
But if so...
In this life, what should she do to make her life easier during the six months in the palace? Especially after all the troubles in the palace a few days ago, she seemed to have unintentionally become the most unpopular and hated one again.
Zhou Yinzhi is too dangerous.
It was a last resort to use him before, but you have to be more careful in the future.
But, besides this person, can anyone else use it?
"well…"
It's really hard to think about it.
Jiang Xuening looked at the sky that had not cleared up after the rain but was even more hazy in early winter, and sighed long.
"I don't know what's going on with You Fangyin..."
You Fangyin has almost finished the arrangement, but there is still some uncertainty.
After returning from Jiang Xuening's place yesterday, she took a detour to Xu Wenyi's place to have a look. This time, she didn't mention anything about Shudi Jingyan and Zhuo Tongjing, and left after sitting for a while—
It's not that there is really something to ask Xu Wenyi, but Jiang Xuening has ordered so.
What is said to be "the formation of doubts".
At this moment, she looked at the crooked page written by her pen, but her fingers trembled uncontrollably, and her heart beat a little faster: She listened to what the second girl said yesterday, and something really popped up in her heart. An idea of revenge on You Yue for making her suffer for her words and deeds. But in all these years since she was a child, she has never intentionally harmed anyone. The plan is well-planned, but when it comes to doing it, it is inevitable to feel a little nervous.
"She's in the house?"
Just when she was hesitating and apprehensive, hurried and chaotic footsteps came from outside, and there was a question hidden in contempt.
Immediately someone answered outside: "Yes."
That delicate voice immediately said: "Go, go in and see what the **** she's doing!"
The footsteps immediately became louder and much closer.
After living in the mansion for so many years and being bullied by her for so many years, how could You Fangyin fail to recognize that it was You Yue's voice? Almost immediately, he folded the paper on the table and put it away in his sleeve, stood up nervously from his seat, looked up to the door, and called out, "Second Sister."
You Yue just walked to the door at this moment.
Before You Fangyin saw her, she thought that she would be too scared to look directly at her like before, and even trembled; but when she really appeared in her sight, what emerged in her mind was the strong woman of the second girl yesterday. Enduring grievances and bitterness—
The second girl has done so much for her, and the second sister made things difficult for her in the palace because she saved her. Now it's time for her to repay the second girl and protect the second girl.
A heart suddenly settled down.
You Fangyin quietly clenched the fingers hidden in her sleeve, and also clenched the piece of paper she had put in her sleeve earlier.
She knew that an opportunity had come her way.
You Yue is wearing a bright peach red skirt today, because the weather has suddenly turned cold in the past two days, she also put on a rabbit fur **** very coquettishly, put her hands in it, stood at the door and looked at You Fangyin disdainfully. She glanced at her shabby room, and she didn't even want to go in, so she just stood in front of the threshold and said with a sneer, "I heard that you went out of the house yesterday?"
You Fangyin immediately said: "No, nothing."
You Yue's face immediately sank, and she asked directly behind her.
"Mother Zhang, come out and tell me, is there any?"
Behind her, a formidable rough envoy woman immediately stood up, pointed at You Fangyin's nose, and said sharply: "This old slave will never be wrong, I went to the silk and satin shop yesterday to buy a new dress for you." the silk and satin, but at a glance, I saw that the girl bought a good silk and left from the silk and satin factory. Although the old slave is old, his eyes have not made a mistake in all these years. At that time, the old slave was puzzled. No matter what position Third Miss has in the mansion, she can afford such a large sum of money to buy silk and satin, I'm only worried that something unclean happened in the mansion, so I don't dare not report to Second Miss."
You Yue said: "It happens that a sum of money is missing in my house."
After speaking, he looked at You Fangyin with a half-smile.
When You Fangyin heard it, why didn't she know what their plan was?
If it were in the past, she would have been red-eyed and kept defending herself.
But now all she can think of is every clear step to follow, and she looks as flustered as before, saying: "It's not me, I haven't taken it, I don't even dare to go near the place where my second sister lives , and where are you going to get the second sister's money? You can't spit on people!"
You Yue suffered a lot of anger in the palace, but some details in it were too embarrassing, and it was not easy to tell others about it, so she could only tell people that she had a quarrel with the second girl of the Jiang family and suffered a lot of grievances. And it doesn't happen well.
I was going to suppress this breath, but who would have thought that a little concubine in the mansion would dare to be a demon?
Zhengchou has no place to vent his anger!
You Yue walked over and slapped her on the face, but her delicate face was stained with maliciousness, she said: "You didn't take my money, so where did you get the money to buy the silk? The money that came down is not worth it? Someone, turn over her house and search it carefully!"
You Fangyin fell into the water a while ago and suffered from a serious illness, not to mention being treated harshly recently, her body is not good, this slap was so heavy that red finger marks immediately appeared on her face , the real person almost fell to the ground to the right, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't even speak.
The maids and women immediately entered her room.
The teapots and cups on the table were all smashed, the pillows and bedding were torn into a ball, and even a few decorations were overturned and thrown on the ground. The whole room, which was originally shabby but clean at any rate, immediately became a mess.
Not long after, a woman found a few taels of scattered silver and two fifty taels of silver bills hidden under the suitcase, and immediately shouted "I found it", and then sent them to You Yue's house as if she had found a treasure. Hand: "Second Miss, look!"
You Yue took it over and looked at it, her pupils shrank.
Originally, she didn't quite believe what people said, thinking that You Fangyin was just a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall, a piece of trash, where did she get so much money? But now that the silver taels and bank notes had actually appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but not believe it.
An anger welled up in my heart.
She clenched the bank notes and silver bills tightly, and said, "Okay, you dared to do such a sneaky thing right under my nose! A while ago, that shameless Jiang Xuening protected you and told you to save yourself from a lifetime." Punishment. Unexpectedly, you seem to have found a backer, even daring to steal my money!"
Several maidservants immediately stepped forward and held You Fangyin down, while she struggled violently, her bloodshot eyes widened and she shouted: "The interrogators in the court still have to talk about evidence, there is no mark on the broken silver, But the origin of these two bank notes is innocent. I used the money my aunt left me to do business and buy dry stocks! Even the bank number of the bank can be found, and the second sister wants to buy it. I'm just going to die, so why bother to make such a clumsy excuse? Don't you know if there is any money in Second Sister's room?"
You Yue didn't expect that she would dare to talk back.
At the moment of being choked by her, she almost didn't react, and then flew into a rage, and immediately ordered someone to slap her mouth.
Unexpectedly, when You Fangyin was held down by the maid and struggling, a folded piece of paper fell out of her sleeve and fell to the ground.
When You Fangyin saw it, she immediately rushed to grab it.
You Yue's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, and she actually stepped forward and directly stepped on the finger she was about to reach out, and even rolled it hard, then she held a sneer at the corner of her mouth, which seemed a little unwilling and a little bit to You Fangyin's eyes. Staring in horror, he picked up the piece of paper: "Tsk, let me see which little love wrote it to you..."
As she spoke, she unfolded the paper.
The handwriting on it is not particularly good, but it is not difficult to read it.
You Yue glanced roughly, and was stunned almost immediately: Jing Yan, Zhuo Tsujing, Ren Weizhi?
Of course, he knew best if there was any silver in her room.
Therefore, You Yue was also curious about the source of You Fangyin's money.
Seeing this page at this moment, I was a little surprised and uncertain for a while, but after calming down and thinking about it, I suspected that You Fangyin had indeed obtained some "expert" advice and had the secret of making money.
The servant girl next to her was very curious and wanted to come up to read: "Miss, what are you writing?"
You Yue completely subconsciously covered the note, preventing the maid from seeing the content on it.
There was a bit of greed in her flickering eyes, and she didn't say anything, she only raised the corners of her lips and looked at You Fangyin who was staring straight at her, and she said with great joy in her heart, "Put her in the firewood room first, Don't run around outside all day, you won't ruin the reputation of our mansion!"
The rough envoys and women immediately pulled You Fangyin down first.
Because of this, You Yue was not able to see her face that lost all expression the moment she turned around, the coldness was indifference.
When it was close to You hour in the afternoon, Jiang's carriage was ready.
It was probably because Jiang Xuening performed well during the selection process last time, or maybe it was because she had a conflict with her family the day she just returned home, and she even went to find Jiang Xuehui's bad luck, so this time she went to say goodbye. At that time, Jiang Boyou and Meng Shi didn't say much, they only reminded her to be careful in words and deeds, and then let her go.
When I went to the palace gate today, she was the only one.
The second time entering the palace is different from the first time entering the palace. After all, they are already familiar with the environment, so they don’t wait for everyone to arrive before leaving. Instead, one of them comes, and the little **** helps to carry the luggage into the palace. Lead the way to Yang Zhizhai first.
The moment Jiang Xuening got out of the car, there happened to be a carriage passing by.
It was Yao Xi.
I haven't seen her for two days, but she seems to have calmed down a bit. When she got out of the car, her brows were still frowning. She looked up and saw Jiang Xuening, but her eyes were a little frozen, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally closed her mouth.
Jiang Xuening then thought—
These two days, when Yao Xi went back, how did she deal with the marriage with Zhang Zhe?
