As soon as these words were said, not only Li Ying, but also the maid was so frightened that her legs weakened and she knelt down towards Gu Yuan.
"Master, I didn't mean that. I was at fault. I shouldn't have contradicted Miss Jiang. Please calm down, Master."
As she said this, she kowtowed and admitted her mistake.
Jiang Shanshan curled his lips, she could obviously see that this maid was just watching people serve food, and if Gu Yuan was not here today, she would probably have gone too far.
It was only here that Gu Yuan saw that his master could no longer protect her, so he admitted his mistake and surrendered.
Seeing this, Li Ying also said: "Cousin, you see, she already knew she was wrong. I believe Miss Jiang is not such a stingy person."
Jiang Shanshan raised his eyebrows, a little amused, "You don't think that if a maid just humiliates me and then admits her mistake, I will forgive her, right?"
"Miss Jiang, my maid also wanted to protect me, and she was outspoken..."
"Really! Does that mean that these words are tacitly approved by your master?"
"That was not what I meant……"
"Then what do you mean?"
Jiang Shanshan glanced at the maid and shook his legs slowly, "I am Gu Yuan's fiancée. If you humiliate me, you are humiliating him and the Duke of Jingguo.
You don’t think that what you said just now can be treated as nothing happened, do you?”
Li Ying pursed her lips and glanced at her angrily.
Seeing this, Jiang Shanshan said disdainfully: "Who gives you face, me? Or Gu Yuan?"
Li Ying's face turned red with anger at her words, and she had no choice but to look at Gu Yuan, her expression becoming aggrieved: "Cousin, I really didn't..."
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan did not look at her, but only glanced at Ah Wu. Ah Wu understood and took a few steps forward.
"You should be punished for attacking your master. It's not easy for men to do this. Please ask Miss Taohong to do something for you."
Taohong, who was eating melon seeds, was stunned for a moment, silently hid a handful in her pocket, and then stood up from behind.
When Li Ying saw this, her face suddenly turned pale.
Let Jiang Shanshan's girl beat her girl, does he really have such disregard for her face?
As a crisp sound sounded, Li Ying immediately looked over and saw the girl named Taohong hitting her girl as if she was using all her strength.
He beat people until they were stunned.
Jiang Shanshan looked at it with amusement, and beside him was Gu Yuan, who was doting on her.
She felt that this scene was too dazzling, so she covered her mouth, and the next moment, she pushed the others away and ran out.
I don’t know, but I really thought I had been wronged a lot.
Jiang Shanshan snorted coldly.
It was obvious that she was being picked to make trouble.
However, seeing that the result was quite good, she decided not to pursue the matter further.
"Are you satisfied?" Gu Yuan asked.
Jiang Shanshan glanced at the maid who was knocked to the ground unconscious, and nodded slightly, "If I'm not satisfied, is it possible that you can still kill the person?"
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible."
"Hmph! It's okay, but my reputation will be bad in the future. For example, I persecuted your childhood sweetheart cousin out of jealousy, even her maid."
You don't have to guess what's coming next.
In fact, she doesn't care about reputation that much. Anyway, there were a lot of people from the Jiang family who smeared her. What's more, she is not a good bird in the first place.
However, being involved with Li Ying makes me feel inexplicably unhappy.
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, and Jiang Shanshan rolled his eyes again when he saw this.
He didn't say that she was really cute when she was angry.
After leaving Jinlou, Jiang Shanshan returned with a full load and was in a very good mood.
On the contrary, Li Ying returned to the Duke's Mansion with a sad look on her face. She locked herself in her room that day and refused to come out.
After learning about this matter, Mrs. Li didn't pay much attention to it. She just ordered people to prepare three meals a day and send them in, as long as the person didn't die.
Mrs. Zhou, who came to pay her respects, couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic when she heard such instructions.
"Mother, why don't you let your daughter-in-law go and have a look? She is your niece after all. If there is really something wrong with her, wouldn't she be blamed on you?"
Ms. Li lowered her head and took a sip of tea, with a calm expression: "No need, the more you take care of her, the more excited she will be."
Mrs. Zhou sighed, "But we can't let her continue to make trouble like this, otherwise it will be bad for the three of us."
"Then you should enlighten me more these days! My cousin has only one daughter on his knees, and he is used to not following any rules."
"yes……"
Zhou responded.
Seeing Mrs. Xu come in, Ms. Zhou stood up and left with a look.
After she left, Mrs. Li said, "How did things go?"
Mother Xu shook her head, "There are not many doctors who are good at making poisons, let alone those who are familiar with the strange poisons of the Western Regions. There are only two in this dynasty, one died of illness more than ten years ago, and the other retired and returned home a few years ago.
"
"Has the whereabouts of the one who returned home been traced?"
"My servant has already given the order, and we have to wait for a few more days." After saying this, Mother Xu said: "Madam, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If we continue to investigate the strange poison in the Western Regions, I'm afraid it will be spread to that person's ears.
"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes darkened slightly.
After a while, she said: "Continue to investigate, remember to keep it secret."
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to agree.
A few days later, Jiang Shanshan finally got rid of Gu Yuan who was clinging to her, and appeared with Tao Hong in a small village outside the city.
Everything brought in the carriage was unloaded one by one, providing a lot of needs for this small village.
Wei Ze and Shen Xun looked at it and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
It is unreasonable that they, as men, should rely on a little girl for support at such an age.
After the other things were separated, Wei Ze moved the last medicinal materials into the house and said to the two of them: "There is no need to spend so much time in the future. It will be of no benefit to you if someone is interested."
"What are you afraid of? The emperor is currently worried about his precious son! There is no time to care about such trivial matters."
"Hasn't the verdict of the Second Master of the Jiang family already been issued? What else can happen to the Sixth Prince?"
When Jiang Shanshan asked him about it, he told him everything he had heard in the past few days.
"I heard that the matter in the back house was brought to the palace. I heard that Qin's concubine was almost injured, but it was a blessing in disguise as she was found to be pregnant."
Shen Xun narrowed his eyes, "Pregnant? Is the concubine pregnant?"
"Yes! It's quite fast. Is this called entrance joy?" Jiang Shanshan said: "In short, the emperor is very happy."
Not only was he happy, but he also specially rewarded Qin Jun with many good things, which made everyone in the Sixth Prince's Palace eager to flatter him.
As for Jiang Yuan, the royal concubine, not only was she scolded by the emperor and the noble concubine, but she also made Xiao Xuanzhen unhappy.
However, that was not what Shen Xun was thinking about. He thought for a while and said, "Girl, this matter can be used to some advantage."
Jiang Shanshan paused, "You mean..."
"The Sixth Prince already has the Sacred Heart, and most of the court officials are optimistic about it. If he gives birth to another eldest son, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our future affairs."
You know, an old and foolish emperor is easier to deal with than a young and ambitious emperor.
If the emperor passes the throne to the Sixth Prince in the next two years, it will be even harder for them to overthrow the court.
