As for Jiang Nuan, she was on fire because it was obvious that Jiang Qing and Meng Qiao were plotting against her.
Of course, it is not ruled out that her stepmother was involved in this matter.
But Xu Chunjun repeatedly warned her not to fall out with her stepmother easily, just pretend that she didn't know and let her make the decision for herself.
Xu Chunjun asked her to do this, first of all, to beat Jiang Qing to prevent her from taking advantage of her in the future.
Secondly, it also lets her stepmother know that Jiang Nuan is not really a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by them.
Sure enough, after Jiang Nuan returned, he questioned Jiang Qing in front of Meng: "We agreed not to come out, let alone to protect you. Why did you two go to the prince's palace in the end and leave me alone?
Let me become a laughing stock and be laughed at everywhere.”
At this time, Jiang Qing could only pretend to be pitiful and said: "Good sister, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I originally wanted to go shopping on the street with my second sister, but I didn't want to run into someone from the county prince's palace, so I couldn't go.
I wanted to ask you to come with me, but it was too late. Besides, I thought privately that no one might know about it. After all, our family is small and no one usually cares about us."
Meng even pretended to beat Jiang Qing and reprimanded: "You damn girl! Why didn't you come back and tell me about such a big thing? You acted on your own and your sister's reputation was harmed. Why don't you go out and kneel down for me?"
!When will your sister’s anger subside and you get up again?”
Jiang Qing just cried on the sidelines, saying that she didn't do it on purpose.
Even though Jiang Nuan had a bad temper, he listened to Xu Chunjun's words. After seeing that it was almost done, he said: "Madam, there is no need to force my sister to kneel down and be punished. My intention is not to punish her. If I really wanted to do something, there would be no
The original agreement was made."
After hearing this, Meng immediately grabbed Jiang Nuan's hand and said, "Look at our Nuan, how knowledgeable we are! We are really a hundred times better than this dead girl!"
No matter what Meng thinks in her heart, she will try her best to protect Jiang Nuan in person.
Because Jiang Yinzhi was promoted mainly because of the help and good words from the clan family.
The reason why the Zong family helped Jiang Yinzhi was because of the friendship between Jiang Nuan and his grandfather back then.
And if the clan family knew that they treated Jiang Nuan harshly, they would inevitably be dissatisfied with Jiang Yinzhi.
What's more, Jiang Hui borrowed a library from the Chen family to study, relying on Jiang Nuan's relationship, which forced her to think more about it.
To be honest, she didn't know about Jiang Qing being molested, because on the way back that day, Meng Qiao and Jiang Qing discussed the subsequent plan.
Because they felt that this matter could not be suppressed after all, and instead of choosing to hide it, they might as well blame Jiang Nuan and settle it once and for all.
Jiang Qing hated Jiang Nuan from the bottom of her heart and wanted to protect her innocence, so Jiang Nuan naturally became the best scapegoat.
Meng said many nice things to Jiang Nuan again, scolded Jiang Qing, and told her to shut herself up and think about her mistakes, and was not allowed to go out for a month.
Jiang Nuan came out of Meng's room and happened to catch up with Jiang Hui coming home from school. His schoolboy Wei Yu followed behind him holding a blue cloth bundle.
Jiang Hui was quite polite when he saw Jiang Nuan. He stood with his hands down and called her sister.
Wei Yu called her eldest lady respectfully. He was rescued by Jiang Nuan and always regarded her as his master.
When Jiang Hui wanted him to be his book boy, Wei Yu was not willing to do so.
Later, it was Jiang Nuan who spoke up, saying that he was smart and it was a good thing to study with Jiang Hui and become literate and know etiquette.
"Wei Yu, please put the book in the study for me. I'll go see my mother." Jiang Hui said and went straight to Meng's room.
Jiang Nuan then asked Wei Yu: "Have you learned a lot of words by studying with the young master?"
"Thanks to the eldest lady, the younger one does know some words." Wei Yu was very modest.
"I know that you are a thoughtful person. Most servants don't have the means to study. If you become a book boy with the young master, you will not only be well-fed and well-dressed, but you will also be able to read and write. You will be able to become an accountant and housekeeper in the future." Jiang Nuan smiled.
explain.
Nowadays, Wei Yu has not only grown taller, but has also become more graceful and graceful. For those who don’t know, I thought he was a young master from some family.
Wei Yu lowered her head slightly and said: "I didn't think too much about it, I just did whatever the eldest lady asked me to do."
"Go to the study quickly and go back to Mother Sang. She has made a pair of shoes for you!" Jiang Nuan said with a smile, then turned and left.
Mother Sang likes Wei Yu very much. She has no children herself, and Wei Yu is indeed very annoying.
When the Meng family wanted to marry the Hong family, it was he who heard the news and told Sang's mother that allowed Jiang Nuan to escape.
Therefore, Mother Sang attaches great importance to him and thinks of him all the time.
Here Meng is teaching her daughter: "How many times have I told you? Why can't you remember it? Although your sister is not decent, she is your sister after all. It is too obvious that you are plotting against her. Wouldn't it make outsiders look down upon her?
you?"
"So what? Outsiders have already identified it as her." Jiang Qing still doesn't really think she did anything wrong.
"Now that the matter has come to an end, I won't say anything more. If you have anything to do in the future, you must discuss it with me first." Meng warned, "Remember what mother told you, you will not pay for your life by coaxing someone to death.
Don't offend her if you can coax her, not to mention she is still useful now."
At this time Jiang Hui came in from outside. Meng stopped talking and asked her son with a smile: "Is it cold outside? Are you hungry?"
"There's not much wind today, it's very cold." Jiang Hui sat down and said, "Sir, I've got half a day off. I have to work on it at home and take it to see tomorrow."
"In this case, I will ask them to prepare the meal. You can take a rest after eating and then start writing." After Meng said this, she ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to see if the young master's meal was ready.
The winter days were short, and it was still dark when Jiang Hui went to school every day. Although Meng felt sorry for her son, she also knew that she had to study hard to get ahead.
Jiang Qing knew that she would be saved as soon as her brother came back, so she got up and went back to her room.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, rumors spread throughout the capital.
Jiang Qing heard something more and more wrong. It was clearly Jiang Nuan who was molested, but why did it sound like many nobles in the capital were interested in her?
"That country girl is worthy?!" Jiang Qing was so angry that she yelled in the room, "It's true that the rabbit follows the moon and thinks she is Chang'e!"
Naturally, Meng Qiao also heard these rumors. She was not obsessed with Jiang Nuan like Jiang Qing. She just felt that there must be an expert who gave guidance from behind and helped Jiang Nuan resolve the crisis.
"This is interesting. I wonder if the person who helped Jiang Nuan come up with the idea was the one from the Xu family or someone else." Meng Qiao's slender fingertips gently touched the leaves of the orchid, and his mind was spinning, "Is it possible?
