The beaded curtain swayed slightly and cigarette smoke curled up.
The skirt hanging off the couch was hanging all over the floor, while the person lying on his side had his eyes closed, his fingernails painted with khaki, and he was patting his legs bit by bit.
The room is quiet.
After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked at the figure sitting not far away.
"Mother, why do you need to make things difficult for me like this again? Even if you stay here forever, I can't save him anymore."
The woman's voice was very light and had a coolness to it.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang sighed, "I know that the noble concubine is angry. Her family's dissatisfaction has dragged you and Your Highness down. It's our fault, but after all, he is your brother, so you can't bear to watch him die."
Underworld?"
She cried and cried.
It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to this, Concubine Jiang becomes even more annoyed.
"You also know that he is my biological brother, so when he hid so much money behind Xuan Zhen and me, can he treat me as his own?"
"Mother, he was just confused for a moment. Besides, wasn't all that money earned for you mother and son? They have earned more than this in recent years, right?"
Concubine Jiang sneered when she heard this, "So, you still blame me?"
"I don't dare. It's just that both the eldest and the second eldest son are doing it for you mother and son. They have worked hard all these years without any credit. If they die for this matter, how will the sixth prince, who is a nephew, be convincing in the future? Who else will take his place?
He worked hard."
These words touched Concubine Jiang's heart.
For her, her son is naturally the most important thing. Even the Jiang family can have no son, but the son cannot have any flaws.
Of course she couldn't let this happen.
It seemed that she knew that she had figured out her weakness. Madam Jiang softened her tone and continued: "Madam, the Jiang family will always be your backing. Anyone will betray you, but the Jiang family will not. I hope you will consider it."
.”
After hearing this, Concubine Jiang's expression softened a little.
For various reasons, she really couldn't let Mr. Jiang be beheaded like this.
Nothing else can be done, but life must be protected.
After thinking for a while, she said: "I will plead for him in front of the emperor, but I don't know what will happen."
As she said this, she looked at Old Mrs. Jiang who had aged a lot and had lost all her former good fortune, with a profound meaning.
"This is the last time. Mother, go back and take good care of yourself. We are all members of the Jiang family. I don't want to see the Jiang family destroyed one day."
Mrs. Jiang was shaken all over, and then she bowed down tremblingly: "My wife, I obey!"
Concubine Jiang waved her hand, and the maid next to her saw this and stepped forward to help her up, "Concubine, you are tired. I will take you back."
Mrs. Jiang did not refuse, her goal had been achieved, and there was no need for her to stay any longer.
She allowed the palace maid to help her out, and when her figure disappeared outside the palace door, Concubine Jiang on the couch gradually turned cold.
She could not suppress the disgust in her eyes towards the Jiang family.
But it just so happens that her surname is Jiang, and she is a child of the Jiang family.
It cannot be destroyed, but it is like a stuck in the throat!
A few days later, Jiang Erye, the chief culprit in the salt smuggling case, was sentenced to thousands of miles of exile. Jiang Mingjue, the eldest son of the second wife of the Jiang family, was also kicked out of the official position. He was dressed in white and was no longer allowed to be an official.
The three and four bedrooms of the Jiang family have all been punished in some way or another. Compared with before, the Jiang family is now completely low-key.
Jiang Shanshan was woken up in the morning a few days later. Hearing Tao Hong's report with a sullen face, his face turned dark immediately.
"Bring him in."
"Are you prepared to let him never come back?"
Taohong asked a lot, and Jiang Shanshan looked at her: "Am I that cruel?"
Does she have any misunderstanding about herself?
Although she did think so, it was obviously not a good time now.
She is not a person who ignores the current situation.
Taohong curled her lips and left without arguing with her.
When she came back, she had already brought Jiang Mingjue to the side hall.
Seeing Jiang Shanshan, Jiang Mingjue almost rushed over and stared at her, "Where are Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Mingxiu?"
"What are you doing to my brother? You can tell me if you have anything, it's the same thing."
"Talking to you? Okay, then let me ask you, does my sister's death have anything to do with you?"
"Jiang Qiuyue?" Jiang Shanshan raised his eyebrows lightly, "Do you need me to tell you how your sister died? How come it's all our fault?"
"Don't do this. The two of them went to a banquet that day. How could it be such a coincidence that they committed suicide by swallowing gold in the autumn moon on that day."
"How do I know? Maybe it's just such a coincidence? Didn't she always want to compete with Dafang in the past, but now when she sees Jiang Yuan getting married to the Sixth Prince, she can't think of it and it's not possible."
"You're talking nonsense. She has already gone crazy. How could she swallow gold just for that matter?"
"You should ask her about this instead of me."
Jiang Shanshan sneered, "You are incompetent. You can't even protect your sister. You dare to come here to find trouble. Do you think you are still the popular eldest son of the Jiang family?"
This sentence made Jiang Mingjue's face turn pale, he clenched his hands and looked at her.
"I don't believe it. This matter must be related to you. Where are Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Mingxiu? Let them get out, or I will destroy your place today!"
Jiang Shanshan calmed his lips, "You want to play tricks on me?"
Before he could answer, a voice came from outside the door.
"I wonder why Mr. Jiang is looking for my two brothers?"
Jiang Mingxuan walked in, followed by Jiang Mingxiu. As soon as they appeared, they received Jiang Mingjue's resentful eyes.
But no one cared.
Just listen to Jiang Mingxuan say: "Master Jiang is so angry that he came to my house to threaten my sister. Could it be that he thinks this is your Jiang family?"
"I don't know if you are from the Jiang family, but it is a fact that your surname is Jiang!"
Jiang Mingjue stepped forward and looked at the two of them, especially Jiang Mingxiu: "That day, you two went to the Jiang family for a banquet. On the way, you went to the official residence and disappeared for a long time. Where did you go?"
Jiang Mingxiu raised his eyes and said calmly: "I only went to the official office. It should be very clear that you sent people to follow me."
"You're talking nonsense. How can you stay in the official office for so long?"
"Is it possible that I still need to explain it clearly to you? How about Young Master Jiang go in with me to have a look next time?"
When he said this, he displayed the calmness and aggressiveness he had learned on weekdays to the fullest.
His aura seems to be no more noble than the one he has been in since he was a child.
Jiang Mingjue laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, what a great Jiang Mingxiu, it turns out I was the one who misjudged him before."
He stared deeply at the person in front of him, as if he already understood what he was doing.
No matter how calm Jiang Ming Xiu Rao was, his head was blank and his throat was tight at this moment.
He was thinking about it and was about to say something when Jiang Mingxuan took a step forward and stood in front of him, facing Jiang Mingjue.
"Master Jiang, this is no longer a place where you Jiang family can run wild. Either you provide evidence, or please get out!"
