"It's really that little **** who made a move on me, even grabbed the bench, and I didn't even dare to touch her! It was Jiang Xuening who instigated that **** to do it on purpose!"
"She has always been bullied by you, how dare she hit you?!"
"Really, Daddy, I didn't lie, you listen to my explanation..."
"It's all right for you to be domineering in the mansion, but you still beat her when you go out. If it spreads, people will say what about the uncle's mansion? You even asked people to take advantage of it, and recruited people from Jinyiwei to arrest you all! I don't know how much money the government spent to get you out?"
"What?"
"Thirteen thousand taels, a whole thirteen thousand taels, all gone!"
…
Because others spread rumors that she and You Fangyin were the ones who were arrested and interrogated by Jin Yiwei's people, so everyone in the uncle's house thought that she was the one who attacked You Fangyin when she was out of the house, and that's why they encountered this difficulty.
Even Uncle Qingyuan thought so.
After all, who can believe that a coward like You Fangyin, who can bully her even with a lowly servant girl in the house, can take the initiative to take the initiative to deal with You Yue, the first lady who is almost choking her life?
It's like lying without knowing how to choose a credible statement!
You Yue has nowhere to defend against Uncle Qingyuan's fury!
I was locked up in the prison all night, cold and hungry, and the guards were extremely vicious. They gave me cold food with a rotten taste, and didn’t even light a lamp at night. In the dark, I could hear the sound of mice crawling and calling, and I was so frightened. She screamed like hell...
The whole night passed, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.
By the time the uncle's house came to pick her up the next morning, her eyes were already swollen from crying, her eyes were bloodshot, her dress was dirty, her hair was messed up, and she threw herself into Mrs. Uncle's arms and wept uncontrollably. .
You Yue originally thought that after returning to the mansion, this nightmare should be over.
Unexpectedly, that was just the beginning.
Just after returning to the mansion, her father scolded her, ordered her to kneel on the ground, and asked her how she caused such a disaster, and said that if she hadn't bullied and beaten You Fangyin, Jin Yiwei would never have been attracted!
God knows the truth is that You Fangyin took the lead to grab the bench and beat her!
At that time, she didn't even have the guts to fight back!
But who told her that she was used to bullying You Fang and used the truth to defend herself, from her parents to her maids, no one believed her, instead they all frowned, thinking that she was looking for excuses for herself and shirking responsibility !
Moreover, 13,000 taels!
How much would that be!
You Yue's eyes widened: "Father, are you crazy? How can you give them 13,000 taels?! That newcomer Zhou Qianhu in Jinyiwei is in collusion with Jiang Xuening! The money is in his hands and he followed it It's the same in Jiang Xuening's hand! I know, I know..."
When she said this, her face suddenly twisted.
"This is a game, a trap! Daddy, you believe me, that little **** Jiang Xuening deliberately instigated You Fangyin to beat me, and then deliberately reported to the officials to call that Zhou to come, so as to deceive our uncle's mansion." Money! Since they dare to do this kind of thing and force daddy to take the money, we might as well sue them in the palace, and they will definitely be able to get away with it!"
As long as Uncle Qingyuan thinks of the 13,000 taels, his whole heart will bleed. Although You Yue was saved, the current uncle's mansion is already stretched. It hurts like peeling his skin.
Therefore, seeing his beloved daughter's return, instead of being half joyful, he became even more furious.
Hearing that she was still talking nonsense, Uncle Qingyuan finally couldn't take it anymore!
"Snapped!"
The slap in anger finally fell out and hit You Yue's face!
You Yue, who was talking about asking someone to report to the officials and sue Zhou Yinzhi for accepting bribes, had her face turned crooked, and there was a "buzz" in her head, she couldn't stabilize her figure, and turned directly to the side fell over!
"Moon!"
"Father!"
"Uncle, what are you doing?!"
For a while, some went to help You Yue, and some went to pull Qing Yuanbo, and the hall was completely in chaos.
You Yue couldn't believe that her father, who had always loved her, would beat her, and even beat her because of her being wronged and imprisoned. She was so dumbfounded that she burst into tears.
She actually pushed away those who were helping her.
Standing up, he rushed out of the hall and ran all the way back to his room.
Immediately took the key, rummaged through the box, and found out all valuable things.
Seeing her frightening expression, the maids and women did not dare to step forward to stop her.
But right now, I don't know what she is going to do.
Mrs. Uncle was busy staying in the hall to persuade Uncle to calm down, only the eldest lady, You Shuang, was worried about her, so she hurried back to see her, and was shocked when she saw that she had dug out all her savings: "What are you doing? Father just got angry for a while. You usually bullied You Fangyin and imprisoned her in the woodshed for ten days, and you still beat her outside this time, so this incident happened. Are you going to run away from home now? Who can't be threatened?"
"Even you believe they don't believe me?"
You Yue always felt that this elder sister was the same as her, they were the only two descendants in the uncle's house, and the son of You Fangyin's concubine was not even worthy to carry their shoes.
Usually, she didn't come out to speak when she was too much to You Fangyin.
Now it's time to pretend that you are a good person!
She sneered: "Okay, okay, don't believe it if you don't believe it! Then Jiang Xuening is an evil ghost who eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Everyone is in the capital, and sooner or later they will bump into each other. Let's see what happens to you then!"
You Shuang felt that she was irrational after being imprisoned for a day, so she was stunned after hearing this.
You Yue has dug out her private money to count.
There was a bit of terrible paranoia on her face, she just said: "As for running away from home? Don't worry, I won't be so stupid. Isn't it because of the more than 10,000 taels of silver that you speak so harshly to me? I will call you Look, what is more than 10,000 taels of silver?"
"What are you counting money for?"
You Shuang was inexplicably scared.
You Yue looked at her and smiled: "Nothing."
What he thinks in his heart is that that little **** You Fangyin is also being imprisoned now, suffering a lot, no matter what, he is several times worse than himself. And one day she will return home.
At that time, she will retaliate ten times and a hundred times!
After speaking, he turned his head and called the servant who had gone to the Shuxiang Inn to inquire about the situation, and asked, "How is Ren Weizhi?"
That servant has been secretly inquiring about the situation these days, and there happened to be some important news early this morning. Hearing You Yue's question, he hurriedly reported outside: "Yesterday, a well-known Boss Lu from Youhuang Pavilion in the capital went to the inn. I have visited Mr. Ren, and I went there again early this morning, and rumors spread that Boss Lu has paid for some shares, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
You Yue was overjoyed when she heard that.
With such a big businessman in the end, things are reliable.
But then he became anxious again.
If this matter is preempted by others, there will be no gain.
At that moment, she only said "I see", then hugged the bank notes in the box, turned her head and walked out the door.
You Shuang's eyelids twitched, she grabbed her and asked, "What are you doing?"
You Yue pushed her away impatiently: "Don't worry about it!"
Two days of rest and bathing pass in the blink of an eye.
It's time for the companions to return to the palace again.
People came to the Yangzhi Zhai one after another, and it gradually became lively.
Jiang Xuening talked for a long time in You Fangyin's cell that night before leaving, but she was haunted by nightmares for some reason when she returned, and she hardly closed her eyes all night. All the things were packed in boxes one by one, and handed over to Jiang Boyou for handling, so when he returned to the palace the next day, he was still a little restless.
There are many people who are more haggard than her in the accompanying reading.
After the previous inspection of anti-party words, all the maids in Yangzhi Zhai have changed, and they all look like new faces.
All of them bowed their heads and stood far away.
In the Liushui Pavilion, Chen Shuyi was making tea, Xiao Shu was drinking tea, Zhou Baoying was eating tea, Yao Rongrong was carefully sitting beside her, looking at everyone but not daring to speak.
Yao Xi and You Yue sat facing each other.
The eye circles of both of them were a little red, but Yao Xi buried her head, lowered her eyes, and looked at the cup in front of her with a calm face, showing a faint gloomy expression, but she didn't speak; It's because the puffiness in the eyes hasn't disappeared, even if you roll them with boiled eggs, you look like you've just been beaten, and when you lift up your eyes, you stare unabashedly at Jiang Xuening who just walked in from the outside .
Even a fool would know that this atmosphere is wrong.
Jiang Xuening didn't notice Yao Xi when she first came in, because You Yue looked so miserable and conspicuous at the moment, that people had to notice her at a glance.
She thought that You Yue would be miserable, but she didn't expect it to be this miserable.
Seeing the look in his eyes that wished he could eat her, he probably knew about the 10,000 taels, right?
It's just that Jiang Xuening is not guilty at all.
She paced in with a slight smile on her lips, looked back at You Yue unambiguously, and said jokingly: "Looking at Miss You like this, why does it look like a catastrophe came home? I can't cover the marks on my face anymore, what happened?"
You Yue really hated her.
But after the experience in the teahouse, she finally understood thoroughly: no matter whether it was in the palace or outside the palace, she couldn't beat this woman. At least for now, I can't fight!
This woman has a vicious heart and is extremely vicious!
She hates and is afraid of Jiang Xuening, and she also knows that she has no advantage in this Yangzhi fast, so facing her obvious provocation and ridicule, she can only bite into pieces and pour blood into her belly Swallow, dare not answer a word.
Those present were all discerning people. From this simple round, they guessed that You Yue might have stumbled in front of Jiang Xuening during the two short days outside the palace. I dare not choke anymore.
Jiang Xuening felt relieved when she saw that she knew she was scared.
It's just that when he sits down and raises his head, he inadvertently meets Yao Xi's cold gaze, but when he sees her raise her head, the coldness is put away.
Yao Xi even parted her lips and smiled at her.
Jiang Xuening suddenly thought of that day in the palace late at night, when Zhang Zhe told herself that he would withdraw from the marriage, and when he thought about Yao Xi's smile at the moment, he felt a sudden chill behind his back: Yao Xi was narrow-minded, and her thoughts were not very pure. Do you think that she sued behind her back and ruined her marriage?
But Yao Xi didn't say a word.
Jiang Xuening was even more difficult to ask.
The details of this short meeting of eyes, as if it had never happened, did not stir up any waves.
The eight of them were accompanying students, most of whom arrived at night.
When she left last time, the Eldest Princess of Leyang, Shen Zhiyi, was still being grounded by the Empress Dowager;
When they returned to the palace this time, Shen Zhiyi's confinement had already been lifted. In addition, they had been studying with them for a while, so they were already familiar with Shen Zhiyi. Going to Mingfeng Palace to find her can relieve her boredom.
Shen Zhiyi was indeed very bored.
Because she was pleading for the Yongyihou's mansion, she had a disagreement with the queen mother and quarreled. He said it was to tell her to ground her feet and reflect on herself, but she didn't know where she was wrong. So even though the confinement is lifted today, he is also angry and unwilling to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay his respects.
The companions came just in time.
Mingfeng Palace is her bedroom, and there are all kinds of fun things, so she brought everyone to play together, playing shadow puppets for a while, going down to Shuanglu for a while, and playing hide-and-seek a few times. stop.
Jiang Xuening didn't sleep well last night, and basically didn't close her eyes throughout the day, she was a little absent-minded when she was playing, and when she saw them going down Shuanglu, her head turned and she almost fell asleep.
Shen Zhiyi saw this scene in her eyes.
She didn't care what other people thought, she asked the others to disperse first, but went to hold Jiang Xuening's hand, puffed her cheeks and said, "Ningning, are you sleepy? Yangzhizhai is far away from my bedroom. You can sleep with me tonight."
Just sleep here?
When Jiang Xuening heard the word "sleep", her whole body trembled, and she woke up with fright when she fell asleep!
She opened her mouth to refuse.
But Shen Zhiyi's joyful expression when she was playing with others before was gone, her eyes were lowered, she smiled, but she looked a bit dejected and melancholy, and said in a low voice: "I want to talk to someone."
It was only then that Jiang Xuening realized that she seemed to be taking soft things rather than hard things.
She knew why Shen Zhiyi was grounded, and she also knew that she had been close to Yan Lin since she was a child. Thinking about how expensive she is as the eldest princess at this moment, she can only watch her imperial brother order heavy troops to surround Yongyi Hou's mansion, and she is helpless...
The words that were originally on the lips could not be spoken.
Jiang Xuening finally said: "Okay."
The eldest princess' bedroom should be as luxurious as possible, with golden hook incense tents, high beds and soft pillows.
Shen Zhiyi managed to drag Jiang Xuening onto the bed.
She changed Jiang Xuening into her own pajamas, kicked out all the maids and maids serving in the palace, hugged the embroidered pillow with her bare feet, and came to her side, lying flat on the bed like her.
There was silence in the deep palace.
The lights in the hall were all extinguished, only the Korean paper pasted on the windows still reflected some light from outside.
Jiang Xuening was suddenly in a daze.
Shen Zhiyi was beside her, looking at the roof of the tent, blinked, and said: "Ning Ning, why do adults think differently from us? Yanlin is as good as Hou's Mansion. When I was young, I would go to Passing by their house, the cherry tree grows tall, and the cherries on the top are all red. It is said that Yan Lin’s aunt planted it back then. I am very greedy and naughty, and I always want to pick it from that tree Eat the cherries. Yan Lin always said they were not ripe, so he didn't want me to go up. Once, I lied to him that my uncle told him to practice martial arts, and I secretly climbed up the tree and picked the cherries to eat, but it really made my teeth sore. "
Jiang Xuening's tears rolled down the corner of her eyes.
Shen Zhiyi folded her hands in front of her body, wanting to cry: "Later, Yan Lin came back to look for me, but he couldn't find him. I hid on top of a tree, trying to scare him, but accidentally fell from the tree. I fell to the ground and cried out in pain. Yan Lin was frightened and didn’t dare to touch me when he realized it. After calling someone to come, he scolded me with a cold face and said that I deserved it. Seeing that he was so fierce, my aunt asked me to become a monk Come here and beat him up to calm me down. I have already forgotten how old I was at that time, and I forgot what happened later. I just remember the tree, how tall it was, how big the sun was, and that Cherry, I clearly remember that it is sour, but when I think about it, it is so sweet..."
As she spoke, she began to cry.
In the past few days, I have lost my temper and never cried once, but maybe I feel that Ningning is different from others, and I can say it to her heart when I see her for the first time, so I feel that such words can be said to her .
She and Xiao Shu are of course on good terms, but this kind of close relationship is separated by a layer...
Sometimes she even feels uncomfortable.
Obviously she is the most honorable eldest princess in the palace, but when others look at Xiao Shu, the queen mother treats Xiao Shu no worse than herself, and they always feel that Ning Ning and Ah Shu are also different.
Shen Zhiyi had never felt so sad before.
She couldn't help hugging Jiang Xuening, and buried her head on her body, tears fell, but she didn't dare to let the palace people outside the palace hear it, so she suppressed the voice and sobbed.
Jiang Xuening felt her neck was wet.
I could only hear her vague voice: "I'm so scared. In the future, Yan Lin will disappear, my companion will disappear, everyone will disappear, and you will disappear too. I will be the only one left..."
Jiang Xuening choked in her throat.
She had to try her best to open her eyes wide and restrain herself, so as not to let her emotions collapse in such a night and in such a deep palace.
Even if you are a princess, there are moments of sadness and fear...
People live in the world, who can escape the vulgarity?
Shen Zhiyi cried for a long time, and when she was tired from crying, she gradually became sleepy, and slowly fell asleep while lying beside her.
Jiang Xuening tucked in the quilt for her.
Turning sideways to stare at this princess who should have been loved by thousands of people, remembering her sad and even sad fate in her last life, after a long time, she leaned down and kissed her forehead lightly, then stepped back and stepped on the ground with her bare feet. On the icy ground of the dormitory, he walked to a carved window, opened it slightly, and looked outside.
A palace lantern hangs high.
The red walls and cornices are overlapping.
Compared with the simple Yangzhizhai, Mingfeng Palace is really like Kunning Palace, Jiang Xuening can't sleep, and dare not fall asleep.
