The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 224. Take advantage

The Jinying Palace is even more dull these days, almost deserted than before Jiang Ruan passed the door. But everyone is always sad. If you don’t know the reason, you think that something extraordinary has happened in Jinying Palace.

However, in fact, it was indeed an extraordinary event in the Jinying Palace. Although Jinying King Xiao Shao usually acts low-key, he can’t stand his high-profile appearance, and his life experience is quite swaying. However, whenever something goes wrong, he can always be fast. Spread all over the capital. What’s more, this matter is not a trivial matter of catching cats and dogs. As soon as it is about men and women, people’s interest will come. If you add a bully, oops, that’s not a big deal, it’s the most important thing to talk about in the teahouse.

Dewdrops probably never expected that they would still be a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys in their lifetime, but this matter is really not a good thing. The people in the capital all said that Jiang Ruan, the Queen of Jinying, was really not a soft persimmon. From an unfavored concubine, she became the head of Hong’an princess personally recognized by the Empress Dowager Yide, and then married to the Jinying Palace. In the end, even his own biological father had to sue, which is really tough. I didn’t expect that the maid beside him would not be too much, but no, that Prince Xiao had a capable man who had already had a marriage contract with someone in his hometown, but the maid beside the princess took a fancy to this guard again, just letting the princess be the master. Begged for a marriage. Now that the guard’s fiance came to the door, the guard was really a love and righteous lord, stupefied that he refused to give in to the pressure of the princess, and still canceled the marriage contract with the maid, and had to fulfill his promise to marry the girl from his hometown.

People are always talking about it, especially everyone preaching. When it comes to the end of the preaching, it is a bully who looks at the good girl and wants to buy and sell it, but the man and the woman have lost each other. In the end, the image of Dewdrop in everyone’s mouth was a vulgar, violent, and ugly woman who made trouble without reason. Ms. Liao’s family was gentle and considerate, beautiful and generous.

When this word was passed to the Jinying Palace, everyone was furious. Dewdrop treats everyone very well on weekdays, so they are slandered for no reason, but now everyone in Manjing is talking about it, even if it is clarified, no one can listen to it. If you want to protect the generals The people who chewed the tongue all gave a lesson, and they really couldn’t beat it.

When Jiang Ruan heard this, he didn’t say anything, but asked Tianzhu to continue to pay attention to the movements of the Liao family. As for Luzhu, he laughed after hearing these words. Perhaps the harder this incident hit her, it seemed that it made her grow up a lot overnight, and acted a lot more calmly, but the original smiley girl who became such a big smile is always uncomfortable in the eyes of everyone. . It was Jin Er, Xu felt that it was nothing to see the dewdrops without the face, and he became more reluctant to stay in the palace. On weekdays, he gradually became reticent and almost became the second Jinyi. I only heard from Steward Lin’s mouth that he seemed to have written a letter back to his hometown to discuss the marriage with Ms. Liao’s parents, but I don’t know the specifics.

Forsythia screamed because of the dewdrops, but she went to Jiner once, and only scolded him for having no conscience. Ms. Liao’s family was not a good person, and she just let out such dirty water on the dewdrops. After all, Dewdrop is still an unmarried woman. Originally, only people in Jinying’s palace knew about the affairs with Jin Er. Now that it spreads out, you can imagine how much influence Dewdrop’s reputation will be. In the future, Dewdrop will want to find a good one. People are afraid it will be very difficult.

锦二只沉默的听连翘骂完，称此事必然不是廖梦所为，一定会查出背后之人给露珠一个交代，其他的再也不肯多说了。连翘气急，便称就等着锦二查出来那背后之人到底是谁。

这一日，江东出了个难得的日头，隐隐约约已经有了初春的气息。那茶馆里小二跑前跑后的给众位客人上茶，正是下午，吃茶的客人一边磕着瓜子儿，一边就闲谈起这些日子京城里的传言来了。

“听说那王妃身边的丫鬟露珠也是个霸道的，前不久才听说那侍卫不是已经商量和家乡原有的未婚妻的亲事了嘛，那丫鬟还大闹一场闹到了王妃跟前，我看哪，这事儿没完！”一个戴着毡帽的瘦子神秘兮兮道。

另一边与他说话的胖子却是“嗨”了一声：“这你就不懂了，打狗还要看主人呢，那丫鬟再如何不济，也是王妃身边的人，王妃自然要偏心自己跟前的人。不过好好地搞出这么一通事儿，听说那小姐是个大户人家，也是个通情达理的，这样美丽温柔的女子，怎么就遇上了这等胡搅蛮缠的下人呢？哎，老天可真不长眼，这年头，好人都没好报啊。”

这两人兀自说着，倒是没有注意到身边的一张茶桌前坐着的一对男女神情有异。男子双拳紧握，面色阴沉的很，似是在极力强抑着怒火，女子犹豫了一下，便要站起身来。男子一把攥住她的胳膊，阻止了她的动作，低声道：“廖姑娘，你要做什么？”

“自然是替露珠姑娘澄清了。”廖梦微微有些诧异，随即一笑道：“难不成二少爷就要眼睁睁的看着露珠姑娘被人们这般胡说八道不成？你明明也知道露珠姑娘不是这样的人，这样任人诋毁一个女子的名誉可非君子所为。”

锦二一怔，随即沉声道：“此事还未水落石出，便是如今解释也是徒劳，还是算了，待我找出来那背后兴风作浪之人，此事自然真相大白。”

廖梦也愣了一下，犹豫了一会儿，还是在座位上坐下来，看着锦二道：“可此事无论如何都是因我而起，二少爷，事情本不至于发展到如斯境地。我、我想我还是改日登门拜访，亲自同露珠姑娘说清楚此事。我想给她赔个不是，你们闹到如此境地，都是因为我的缘故。”

“This matter has nothing to do with you,” Jin Er lowered his head, and said in a low voice: “It’s because I don’t have the fate of being a husband and wife with her. With her temperament, you go to the palace. Not only can the matter not be resolved, but it’s more serious. It’s me. If you don’t stop her, I can’t stop you. Even if you want to redeem your sins, I should do it.”

Liao Meng lowered his eyes and looked at Jin Er’s clenched fist at the table. Finally, he patted the back of his hand and said, “It’s okay, Second Young Master, everything will be fine.”

That night, after Xiao Shao took a bath, he saw that Jiang Ruan was not reading on the couch as usual, but staring at the screen in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. He walked over to the collapsed side and sat down and asked in a low voice, “Why is his face so ugly?”

Jiang Ruan pushed his hand away and said: “You have been busy these few days, and you haven’t seen people all day long, are you finally willing to come back and take a look at the mansion?”

Xiao Shao also noticed the anger in these words, and she looked at Jiang Ruan in puzzlement, and asked, “What happened to the mansion?”

“It’s not your good subordinate,” Jiang Ruan sat upright, looked at him and was very unhappy, and said: “It’s in vain that I have entrusted my girl to him, but I am such an unreliable person who has done such unreliable things. , If he weren’t still doing things under your hands, I wouldn’t be able to spare him.”

Xiao Shao was even more confused by this. He frowned and said, “Who are you talking about?”

Jiang Ruanbai glanced at him and informed Xiao Shao of all the things that had happened in the mansion in the past few days. When Xiao Shao was busy, he went out early and returned late. It was Jin Yiwei who reported to him, and it was also related to the official affairs of the court. How could it be said that these children’s love affairs could be said. Therefore, I really don’t know about Jinji and Dewzhu. At the end, Jiang Ruan said: “What are you going to do now?”

“How?” Xiao Shao’s brows furrowed tighter. He really had never intervened in the housework of his subordinates, so he looked at Jiang Ruan and said, “What do you want?”

“Your own subordinates naturally teach yourself.” Jiang Ruan made a move to beat him: “In any case, the person he bullied me is bullying me, and Miss Liao gave it to me. As for Jin Er, you are the most Okay, give him a hit, it’s never so cheap.”

Xiao Shao touched her hair, took her into her arms and coaxed her into her arms and said, “Okay, I’ll find the opportunity to warn him. But A Ruan, Jin Er has been with me for many years, and he has acted appropriately, Miss Liao, don’t act rashly. There should be a misunderstanding on this matter.”

Jin Er has been with Xiao Shao for many years. Xiao Shao is also a short-term person. Jin Er, the short Xiao Shao, must also be protected. Jiang Ruan is too lazy to fight with him, but he still has some dissatisfaction in his heart, so he talked to Xiao Shao again. Just give up with two sentences.

Only Xiao Shao said that she would warn Jin Er another day, and before that time, something happened again.

On the second day, Luzhu was holding a new medicinal meal for Jiang Ruan that had just been ordered by the small kitchen, and only after careful ordering was he ready to return to the yard. Forsythia served Jiang Ruan in the study. Luzhu walked to the small courtyard and heard the concierge rushing over to inform him: “Sister Luzhu, there is a girl outside looking for you.”

“Girl?” Dewdrop was taken aback: “What girl?”

The concierge scratched his head and said, “I don’t know him either. I look at her face very badly, but the girl said she was a friend of Sister Luzhu, and she didn’t look like a bad person. Sister Luzhu, let’s take a look.”

Although Dewdrop didn’t know how she would be familiar in this capital city, she thought that it wouldn’t be good if there was something urgent and delayed, so she patted her skirt and said, “Okay, I’ll go and see.”

When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw a blue-clothed woman really standing at the gate. She was born with a weak Liu Fufeng with elegant eyes, and she could recognize her burnt ash and dewdrops. She was not someone else, but the Liao family, Liao Meng.

Although Dewdrop looks calm on the surface these few days, she was the most unjustified temperament in her heart when she poured over such a large basin of sewage. She was the most unjustified temperament these days, but now she sees Liao. Dream, immediately aroused all the anger in my heart. Everyone said that the person behind the rumor hasn’t been found out yet, maybe it’s not the Miss Liao’s family. But from Luzhu’s point of view, even if it was not Liao Meng’s slanderous words, the matter was due to her in the end. The smile on her face immediately disappeared, and she looked at Liao Meng and said coldly: “What are you doing? ”

“I, I’m here to make amends to Girl Dewdrop.” Na Liao Meng seemed to have not expected Dewdrop to change her face so quickly, and she shuddered for a while, but maybe it was a girl from a big family who quickly recovered her calm. Dewdrop gave a bow and said: “I have also heard the rumors outside these days. Liao Meng feels terrified. They are still a couple, Liao Meng… is not Liao Meng’s.”

“Don’t be it.” Dewdrop said coldly.

Liao dreamed about it, and suddenly stretched out her hand to untie her purse and took out a thick stack of silver bills from it. She looked at the dewdrop and said, “I ruined your marriage. In this life, I don’t ask for your forgiveness. Counting the silver bills is the only thing I can do for you, you, you take it.”

The thick stack of silver bills was about two silvers ahead. The dewdrop was startled at first, and then suddenly turned around after hearing what she had said. The expression on her face was already very angry, which was a naked humiliation to her. Although she is a servant, to be fair, Jiang Ruan has never treated her like other masters to her servants. Dewdrop has always been very comfortable with Jiang Ruan. From following Jiang Ruan to now, this is the first time she has suffered such insults. She took a deep breath and smiled instead of anger, “Surely she is a lady from a big family. The rules of apologizing are completely done, but only showing this kind of sincerity is too stingy.”

Liao Meng was taken aback, and then said: “Lady Dewdrop, I am coming to the capital now. This is the complete silver in my body. If Miss Dewdrop feels that it is not enough, then…” Liao Meng was taken aback, and then slowly knelt down.

A girl who was looking at a beautiful and generous lady dressed up for a maid at the gate of Jinying Prince’s Mansion on the street knelt down, and everyone couldn’t help but think of the earlier rumors. Someone just above the top of the plush has long been watching lively. Although it is not clear what is said here, what can be seen is that the young lady is aggrieved, the maid is aggressive, and someone immediately cursed: “Hey, this lady is really true. Poor, this maid is really bullying, how could there be such a wronged person, so the girl kneeled in the street.”

“Yes, yes, I just saw that young lady gave her money, look at the thick cash. This is too cruel to get someone else’s money to kneel down.” A woman said. .

“I see this is the maid next to Princess Jinying Palace a few days ago. This kneeling lady wants to be the fiancée of the guard. It is true that it is better to see, this maid is as unreasonable and arrogant as others have said. That young lady is a pitiful girl, hey, pitiful someone who is a good girl, what’s wrong with this.”

Standing dozens of meters outside the palace gate, Forsythia and Jiang Ruan watched from a distance. In the past few days, Jiang Ruan ordered that if someone came to look for Dewdrop, he would report it immediately. When they heard someone looking for Dewdrop, Forsythia and her would come over and look at it. As expected, they saw this scene. Forsythia is already out of anger. Although I can’t hear what the two of them are saying, you can tell what the woman is doing by looking at the woman’s movements. Nowadays, people outside are all pointing to Dewdrops. Dewdrops are not a dumb loss. . Thinking of this, Forsythia looked at Jiang Ruan anxiously and said: “Young lady, when shall we wait until Dewdrop can be bullied by others.”

连翘是不知道为何蒋阮早已到了却是看着这边发生的一切一声不吭，甚至不早早的上前为露珠撑场面。只听蒋阮淡淡道：“让她长长记性。露珠生性单纯，此事既然已经无可避免，她便也要借着此事看清楚一些事情，世界上有些女人的手段凶残狠辣，作恶流于表面，这样的人倒是好解决。有些女人却惯做温柔的套子，越是凶恶的手段，外面就越是纯善，女人与女人的争斗，日后露珠总也免不了遇到，她总要见识一下，日后才不会被这种漂亮的刀子迷了眼。”

连翘听完此话，便也不说话了，默默地站到一边。

露珠第一次遇到这样的场面，便是从前也都有蒋阮在一边坐镇，第一次又遇上的是廖梦这样惯会耍手段的人。周围的百姓看她的眼神分明就是在看一个恶人，露珠心中委屈的很，若是往常，一定会想着全了王府的脸面咽下这口气。可再看着眼前廖梦这一脸真诚痛悔的模样，倒她还像一个受害的人，心中的火气一上来，再想想若是蒋阮遇到这种情形，必然不会就此忍气吞声，既然外头都说她仗势欺人，总也不能白白的担了这恶名。

众人还没反应过来的时候，便见露珠快速走到跪着的廖梦面前扬起手，只听“啪啪啪”三声脆响，廖梦脸上顿时出现了清晰地指头印。

外头受了蒋阮指令不敢出去的家丁们见了露珠如此暴力的手段都是目瞪口呆，连翘也有些吃惊，露珠嘴巴厉害，可从来都是个君子动口不动手的主儿，这么个娇娇俏俏的小姑娘就这么眼都不眨的三巴掌打下去，直把所有人都看懵了。

蒋阮却是忍不住笑了出来，目光里也带了几分赞赏。

廖梦也没料到露珠说动手就动手，也被露珠这么几巴掌打的目瞪口呆，竟是忘记了接下来要做什么，却是露珠看着她扬唇一笑道：“我原先以为，此事虽是因你而起，但你或许并不是个坏人，不过是因缘巧合罢了，如今方才瞧你那一下跪，我才明白，我果真想错了，事上怎么会有你这般无礼下贱之人，想来用这手段欺负的人也不止我一个。还自诩大户人家，我呸，真是要笑掉大牙了。老娘我今日打的就是你，便也替那些年被你欺负的小姑娘讨个公道！”

“Luzhu!” As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Jin Er’s voice rang. Xu Shi was also taken aback by the scene in front of him. He almost didn’t hesitate to walk to Liao Meng’s side to help her up, and said angrily. : “Why are you hurting people indiscriminately, apologize!”

“Fart!” Dewdrop cursed casually: “It’s only three things, I told you a long time ago, don’t treat everyone as a fool. You slapped me in the first place, but now I slapped her three times. No loss!” Dewdrop really has the talent to be a dude. Such a comment made Jin Er a little dumb, and the expression of disdain on her face was even more surprising, almost unlike what she would normally do.

Liao Meng pushed Jin Er’s hand away, smiled at Luzhu, and said: “Girl Luzhu has grievances in her heart, and she should do everything to me. This is what I deserve, even slapped.”

“What did I do to you?” Luzhu turned around and was about to leave. Hearing this, she turned her head and sneered: “Ms. Liao said this. I forced you to kneel? I forced you to get me money. This is what Ms. Liao said she wanted to make amends for me. It was Ms. Liao’s own actions. Isn’t Ms. Liao’s so-called apologetics while pretending to be pretentious, and at the same time calling people to come over and ask for guilt? I am the first way of apologizing. See you again.”

“Enough!” When Jin Er interrupted Dewdrop, his expression was already very angry. He grabbed Dewdrop and said with a hungry hand: “You are too much, if you have grievances. You can vent to me, why use someone who is irrelevant. Vent out. Apologies!”

This is determined to ask Dewdrop to apologize. Jin Er is a martial artist after all. With such a strong force from the hand holding Dewdrop, Dewdrop almost has to be squeezed by tears, but he stares at her stubbornly. say.

“It’s so lively outside. I don’t know when, any cat or dog can make trouble in front of my Jinying Palace.” A smiling voice came from the door, but for some reason it was unprovoked in the ears of people outside. The teacher’s heart is tight, including Liao Meng. When she raised her head, she saw a beautiful woman in a red dress coming out from the gate of the mansion, followed by a group of people. She still had a smile on her face and her tone was very gentle, but her clear eyes looked over. At times, it seemed to be carrying a sharp blade, teaching people to get cold.

“Young lady…” Luzhu’s eyes were a little red when she saw Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan came out to support her at this time.

Before Jin Er and Liao Meng had spoken, Jiang Ruan watched them and spoke first: “Jin Er, I don’t know what you have to do with this girl, and what kind of grudges you have. But before I did seem to hear the surroundings. The people said that my maid took advantage of my momentum to bully others, but this girl came to the door on her own initiative. I don’t care what the reason is. This girl behaves like this. My maid said to me, Saying I mean the face of Jinying Palace. Are you trying to smear the face of the Palace for your own personal affairs at will?”

These words were soft and soft, but they were irrefutable. They clearly meant “the one who was right to protect is short.” Jin Er lowered his head and said in a deep voice: “Jin Er dare not.”

“I know you know the rules. There are no rules and you can’t make a circle,” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Now, take this girl who doesn’t know where it came from, go away.”

Liao Meng’s hands trembled, and he looked up at the woman. The corners of her lips were still smiling, but there was a coldness in the raised eyes.
