The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 225. gap

After Dewdrop followed Jiang Ruan back to the house, she still stood aside and did not move. For a long time, Jiang Ruan raised her head, Dewdrop flushed his eyes, and whispered: “The slave and maidservant are wrong, please punish Mrs. Shao.”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Ruan asked when he looked at her. Forsythia moved her lips, but didn’t say anything in the end. Dewdrop said: “Slaves shouldn’t quarrel with people at the gate of the palace, let the palace become a joke for others.”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: “You are wrong, but what is wrong is not here. You were too polite to that woman at the very beginning. I thought that you have been with me for so long, and you can always see the hearts of the people. It’s too straightforward, but I can’t blame you.” Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes: “Since that person dared to make trouble at the gate of the palace, he would have no fear of coming, and there may be post-recruitment. You should not go out these days, just leave it to me. ”

After these words, I heard Dewdrop want to cry again, and the grievances of the past few days were hidden in my heart, but Jiang Ruan’s words seemed to make her find a backbone in an instant. Jiang Ruan originally took care of his shortcomings. At first, he couldn’t tolerate someone saying that Jiang Xin was not good. Now he also protects her as if Jiang Ruan is there. The original sadness is not so sad anymore. She paused, and then hesitated: “This matter… Will it cause the young lady to have a conflict with the Jinyiwei?”

No matter how or not Jin Er is the person in Jin Yiwei, just like Forsythia standing on her side unconditionally, Jiang Ruan puts Jin Er’s face in front of everyone, and it is inevitable that Jin Yiwei will not think much about it, even It may cause misunderstandings between Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan.

“Don’t worry,” Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “There is no reason for his subordinates to be prejudiced against the master. If it weren’t for Jin Er’s face today, I had already let someone beat them out.”

Dewdrop stopped talking.

Outside the house, Jin Er helped Liao Meng into the carriage on one side. Zhou’s mother was in the carriage. Liao Meng forbid her to get off. Zhou’s mother didn’t know what was happening outside, she was taken aback when she saw Jin Er, and then she saw Liao Meng’s face. His palm print was even more shocked immediately, a little hurriedly said: “Oh my girl, what’s the matter with you? Who is this being beaten by? My God, this swelling is so bad, girl, why don’t you let it go? The old slave followed.”

Jin Er was a little ashamed, and only said: “It’s all my fault, it’s because I didn’t take good care of Girl Liao.”

“This matter has nothing to do with you.” Liao Meng interrupted him anxiously, and said to Mother Zhou: “Mother Zhou, I’m fine, it’s just a bit of a misunderstanding. The second young master should go ahead with his own affairs. The affairs of the palace are complicated. It’s not a way for you to stay with me all the time. It’s still early at the moment. If you want to come, you also have important matters. It’s fine if I go back with Mama Zhou.”

Jin Er thought for a while, and said, “You are a weak girl, what should you do if something goes wrong on the road? It is already an adventure to come to the palace today. Let me see you off.”

“It’s really not necessary,” Liao Meng said with a smile: “Besides, the girl Dewdrop has already misunderstood. You sent me like this, but it made the two people feel more and more deeply attached. It doesn’t matter. The coachman knows the way. People, in broad daylight, absolutely nothing will go wrong. It’s the second young master himself, who offended the princess, will it affect your affairs in front of the princess. Thinking about it, I really feel that today is my fault, always adding to you trouble.”

The remarks were tactful and gentle, which made people even more confused about how to deal with it. Jin Er’s complexion changed and said, “I said this has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to worry about it all the time. If that’s the case, I will leave and come back to the house later. Watching you inside. You and Zhou’s mother are careful along the way.”

Liao Meng nodded and said yes, smiled and lowered the curtain of the carriage, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed. Jin Er then turned on his horse and galloped in the opposite direction. In the carriage, Zhou’s mother stroked Liao Meng’s face with distress, “Girl, that maid was too ruthless to start, and this red mark will last for a few days, but she is really a cruel master, such a woman, the second young master. How can you ask for it.”

As soon as the hand touched the skin, he felt hot and painful. Dewdrop did indeed use a lot of strength to start his hand. At this time, half of Liao Meng’s face was swollen and he could barely see his original appearance. Liao Meng gritted her teeth and said: “I didn’t expect that she was such a cruel person.” What she originally planned today was to target Dewdrops. She did this weak posture as well, and the sympathy was also beaten. Dewdrops was so superficial. The person who suffers simply suffers. But she didn’t expect that this girl looked honest, but she was savage in her bones. These three slaps almost slapped her, and she never thought that she would suffer such a loss today.

But what made Liao Meng’s heart palpitations even more was the woman in red who walked out of the gate of the palace, Jiang Ruan, the current young lady of the Jinying palace. Before coming, she had already inquired about Jiang Ruan and knew that this woman was a shrewd and powerful woman. She didn’t want to see it with her own eyes today. When she was seen by those eyes, she felt that her rumors were not as good as Wan who had seen it in person. One part. Those eyes were smiling on the surface, but the sharpness in them was shocking, as if seeing them, there was no way to hide what they thought. And Jiang Ruan’s protection of Dewzhu is almost naked.

Mother Zhou was still muttering distressedly, and asked: “Girl, why don’t we go to the drugstore to grab some medicine now, the wound on this face will always disappear sooner, and the girl’s heart is too dark, so there is no way to pick someone’s face.” Started.”

“No need for Mother Zhou,” Liao Meng came back to his senses, and said: “I am a little uncomfortable, so I should go back to the house and lie down for a while.” There is no such a cheap reason in the world, since Dewdrop has already slapped her three times. These three slaps will be recovered from Dewdrop sooner or later. What about Jiang Ruan’s short-term protection? What she wants is her short-term protection. It is strange if she does not protect the short-term. The more it protects the short-term, the more interesting it will be in the future. Liao Meng slowly stroked his swollen cheeks, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Ruan gave Jin Er’s face in front of countless people watching the excitement at the gate of Jinying Palace. This incident spread throughout the Jinying Palace, or it was spread to everyone in the capital. Tao’s mouth. The servants in Jinying Palace are really quiet day by day. Since entering the palace and becoming the princess, Jiang Ruan has rarely played the role of the princess. Although his temperament is not lively, he is always gentle when he is a princess. He is not accountable for making mistakes, he is a generous master, and everyone likes it very much. This is the first time that Jin Yiwei has expressed dissatisfaction with Jin Yiwei so clearly, and even took out the princess’s frame to suppress the other party. If it’s because of his own affairs, it’s because of housework. The palms and backs of the hands are all fleshy. Although everyone thinks that Jin Er did not do it properly, but Jin Yiwei never cares about housework and feelings. It’s reasonable, and Jin Er is also a partner who grew up together, so it is impossible to break the relationship. For a while, the situation in the mansion has become a very clear situation. The people led by Jiang Ruan and Jin Yiwei do not care about each other, Ye Feng I have found Forsythia a few times, but now it is not pleasing to look at Jin Yiwei from side to side, so it doesn’t look good at first sight of him.

Not only the relationship between the subordinates is subtle, but the relationship between Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan has also become a little more subtle. Originally, Xiao Shao was very busy today, and the two didn’t have much time to meet, and this kind of horrible thing happened again in the mansion. Jin Er is also Xiao Shao’s subordinate anyhow. Xiao Shao did not punish him because of Jin Er’s own housework. Jiang Ruan is a person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. She is also the same as Xiao Shao in her temperament. It is impossible to quarrel, and the attitude is a little cold invisibly. Xiao Shao seems to be unaware. Women are always more sensitive. Unconsciously, some estrangement and alienation have arisen.

On this day, Dewdrop was teaching some of the maids who were new to the yard to pay attention, and suddenly he heard the voices of the little maids screaming. Before I understood it, I saw a black shadow striding over. When he walked in front of him, he felt a pain in his wrist, and he was already in pain. When she raised her head, what caught her eye was a familiar face, it was Jin Er.

However, the face of Jin Er’s face is not like the smirk that always used to be cynical in the previous days, nor is it as silent and speechless as the previous day. At this moment, the expression on this face is a bit angry and disappointed. . Before Dewdrop could speak, Jin Er first said, “Why are you doing this?”

This question was boring, and Dewdrop was a bit at a loss for a while, and Jin Er’s appearance made her angry when she put on the appearance of a teacher’s questioning, and she immediately yelled back unwillingly: “What is it? Do? What do you learn from crazy dogs to bite people in broad daylight!”

Jin Er grabbed her by the hand and gritted his teeth and said: “This matter happened because of me. I can’t hold you back, but how can you be so mean and let people do that kind of thing to Liao Meng?”

“You let me go!” Dewdrop was hurt by his grasping hand, and in anger, she bit on Jin’er’s wrist with a bite. Jiner let go of her hand because of the pain. Dewdrop seized the opportunity to break free, and she appeared on her slender wrist. A circle of red and swollen marks. Dewdrop said angrily: “What kind of thing? I tell you, pour dirty water on others one or two, no more, you don’t want to use me again!” After dewdrop was beaten by Jiang Ruan, he saw it again. No matter what it feels like in Jin Er’s time, at least he is calm on the face. If he should be scolded and beaten, he will never miss the trace of affection in the past. The appearance of such a stranger has made Jin Er a little startled, and then he frowned, glanced at the maid who gathered around and looked at here, regardless of Dewdrop’s objection, took Dewdrop’s hand and walked to the mansion. On the side of the rockery in the garden, he tried his best to lower his voice, but he couldn’t help leaking a trace of suppressed anger: “Are you looking for someone to harm her?”

Luzhu was very sour when he saw him acting just for Liao Meng’s sake, and when he heard him say this, he didn’t get angry and laughed, and said: “Jin Er, you touch your conscience and ask, you and I don’t know each other overnight, what am I? You don’t know such a person? It’s never something I dewdrop did to stumble in the ditch, but your fiancee…” She sneered: “The thief shouts to catch the thief!”

Jin Er grasped her hand tightly again, Dewdrop frowned, looked at him, suddenly found that Jin Er’s eyes were a little red, she endured it, and finally asked bluntly: “What happened to her? ”

“Last night, someone broke into her yard and wanted to take her body. Although someone failed to rescue her, her innocence was ruined.” Jin Er whispered, as if every word was squeezed out of her teeth. of.

Dewdrop was a little stunned when she heard the words, and then an unnamed fire rose from her heart, and smiled: “Could it be possible that you thought I did this?”

“Surely it’s not you?” Jin Er asked hoarsely.

Dewdrop suddenly raised her head to look at him, her eyes fiercely like a lion. She looked at Jin Er’s eyes and said every word: “It’s not me.”

Jin Er let go of her hand, seeming to be a little tired. Dewzhu turned and left. After walking two steps, she turned her head back and forth. Seeing Jin Er still standing on the rockery, she walked over and stood still in front of Jin Er. , Asked: “How do you think I did it?”

“The masked man caught,” Jin Er sighed, but his expression did not appear relaxed, but rather complicated. He continued: “The person who admitted that he gave him the silver came out of Jinying’s palace.”

The fact that Liao Meng was almost tainted at night and his innocence spread throughout the capital the next day. Now Jin Er, Liao Meng and Lu Zhu’s affairs have become a hot topic in Beijing. This incident has caused some turmoil every three times, but it makes the people in the capital have endless talks every day. Although the masked people didn’t succeed in the end, but such things were still spread all over the city, and Liao Meng’s reputation was over in this life. But for her, people have more sympathy, and more of it is secretly speculating about who is behind, and some people think that this matter is inseparable from the maid in the palace. No matter how the outside world speculates, it is always the one who suffers. Dream.

However, Liao Meng had better results than other daughters who encountered this kind of incident. That is Jin Er was considered a man of affection and did not dislike him or settle the marriage contract because of this matter. In this way, in the eyes of the people in the capital, the two people are a match made in heaven. After all, not everyone who can experience wind and rain can do it.

In the house, Mother Zhou picked up the medicine bowl and fed Liao Meng to drink it. The medicine was also bitter, but Liao Meng drank it without frowning. Zhou’s mother looks very haggard recently. Liao Meng is the one who blames herself most for this incident. She only blames herself for not protecting Liao Meng. She teaches outsiders to take advantage of the loopholes, and she has to go to the yamen to hurry up every day. Catch the person behind the scenes. Zhou’s mother fed Liao Meng after drinking the medicine and then went out. After Zhou’s mother left, Liao Meng got out of bed. She has been in bed with fright for the past few days. Someone would be surprised when they saw her. Liao Meng’s expression was calm, even with a slight smile on her face. She went to the dressing table and sat down, and took out a small box from one side. There was a folded box in the box. Little letter, she slowly opened the letter paper and quickly read it, and then she tore it to pieces, and threw it into the waste paper basket she used to practice calligraphy. Then he slowly sat back on the bed and looked out the window in a daze.

When things have reached such a point, it is smoother than expected. The most indispensable person in this world is a person who protects shortcomings. To set a situation according to a person’s temperament is nothing more than to grasp the most vulnerable part of the human heart. As long as it is a human, the human heart will have weaknesses, and the more cruel the outside is, the less sand can be tolerated in the heart, and the higher the requirements for feelings. In this way, the contradiction suddenly arises and opens the door of Jinying Palace. It was opened.

Of course, in this way, for her, it was nothing more than that people did not kill themselves for their own sake, and that it was all for their own benefit.

Liao Meng’s guess was good, but Jin Er’s matter was not only dewdrops. For example, at this moment, Jiang Ruan looked at Xiao Shao and said angrily: “Do you doubt me?”

Xiao Shao was silent for a while, without speaking.

On that day Jin Er impulsively came to Xingshi to question her, and Jiang Ruan’s anger was finally uncontrollable. It didn’t matter that the dewdrops made her heart sad, but now the dirty water has been spilled on her body. She was very disdainful of that Miss Liao’s family, and she was really angry when she heard that she was about to expel Jin Er from Jin Yiwei at that time.

It was Xiao Shao who blocked it. Jin Er has been with Xiao Shao for many years. For Xiao Shao, it is just like the status of Bai Zhi Luzhu to Jiang Ruan. There is an unwritten rule in Jin Yiwei, the housework of his subordinates and the official business of Jin Yiwei. Is irrelevant. Xiao Shao would never expel Jin Yiwei from Jin Yiwei for any private affairs of his own. Although Jin Er did not think about it, it has nothing to do with serious official business. Jin Yiwei has strict rules and cannot be changed. Xiao Shao wanted to convince the crowd, and could not deal with Jin Er hastily.

On that day, only one of the masked men who attacked Liao Meng was caught. The person said that someone had given them money to ask them to do this business. The person behind did not know who it was, but it seemed that it was Jinying. The meaning of people in the palace. Jin Er thought it was dewdrop, but dewdrop couldn’t produce as much silver as a maid. Moreover, Dewdrop’s temperament was not such a must-have person. Naturally, the spearhead of suspicion fell on Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan was ruthless and never merciful when he started, especially for those who made him unhappy, he would have to pay it back a hundred times. That Liao Meng bullied Luzhu, with Jiang Ruan’s temperament, how could he not ask for it back. The trouble of looking for someone to find Liao Meng, with Jiang Ruan’s temperament and money, is like her handwriting.

Jiang Ruan wanted to expel Jin Er, Xiao Shao refused, and even said that Jiang Ruan should not intervene in this matter. Jiang Ruan was anxious, so he did not hesitate to say: “Do you doubt me?”

“I didn’t mean that.” Xiao Shao said, “It’s just that this matter is his housework, and there is no reason to intervene.”

“Your subordinates are human, but my maid is not human?” Jiang Ruan said incredulously: “Xiao Shao, I also told you that this matter was not what I did, and it has nothing to do with me! I deny this crime, you I want to protect your shortcomings, and I also want to protect my shortcomings. Since each has his own ideas, I don’t need to say anything!” She put the book on the table heavily, turned and walked out.

This is the first time the husband and wife have quarreled since they got married, for something that is so irrelevant to them. But Xiao Shao had a cold temperament, and Jiang Ruan had a strong self-esteem. The cold war for a while was even more terrifying than Luzhu and Jin Er’s. Everyone in the mansion was in danger, almost covered by dark clouds.

Xiao Shao is always compliant with Jiang Ruan, and Jin Yiwei is also considered strict, but unfortunately he is also a short-term protector. Jiang Ruan is also a short-term protector. Compared with Xiao Shao, Jiang Ruan is more paranoid in nature. Xu is the experience of the previous life that made her tolerate. People around her should not feel wronged at all. Once Xiao Shao expressed a little bit of sheltering Jin Er’s attitude, she could not help but think more sensitively, and her attitude became much more extreme. Xiao Shao was also getting busier and busier, and the misunderstanding could not be explained, and the invisible gap between the two became deeper and deeper.

On the contrary, Dewdrop was very worried about Jiang Ruan. Looking at Jiang Ruan’s back in the study, she whispered to Forsythia: “The young lady seems to be fine these days. I am always worried that she will hold everything back. In my heart, the prince hasn’t been back to the house much in the past few days, how good this is.”

Forsythia shook her head and said: “The young lady is stubborn, and the prince is not a sweet talker, so naturally it is not good. Not to mention them, how can you be better? I think that Jin Er is not a good match, in your heart It’s probably sad.” Now that Jiang Ruan has become a suspect, and Jin Er said that Boren did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of the dewdrop. The dewdrop is also the indirect cause of Liao Meng’s accident. He is a real stranger. But Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao are like this, and Luzhu is naturally uncomfortable.

Dewdrop lowered her head: “This was caused by me, and it was originally just my own business. It is my fault that made my uncle and the young lady unhappy. But Forsythia, in my heart, I feel that all this is exactly that. The ghost of Liao Meng, if you think I am vicious, then Liao Meng will encounter this incident, and it may not be karma. I think she is the source of the anger of the uncle and the young lady, she is the wicked person.”

Forsythia nodded Dewzhu’s head: “You girl doesn’t worry about her own affairs anymore. Don’t worry, the young lady is so smart, and she’s used to holding people’s minds, she will definitely not follow the way of others. Let’s just do our own thing. Things will be fine.”

Dewdrop sighed: “It’s because the young lady knows people’s hearts and uses the eyes and minds of those people to guess the uncle, which is bad. The young lady can guess everyone’s hearts, but she can’t understand her own. what.”

As the two of them were talking, they heard a little girl outside telling them: “Madam, Master Qi is here.”

Xiao Shao was not in the house at the moment. Jiang Ruan walked out of the house and went to the yard. He saw Qi Feng coming from outside. I don’t know what he was doing these days. Even though he was very close, I didn’t see him come. Visited. Jiang Ruan smiled and said: “Why are you here? It’s a rare visitor.”

“A few days ago, a friend came to the capital and went to receive him for a while. I didn’t care about it. Don’t get angry, Sansao,” Qi Feng said with a smile: “I also know that I’m not right. No, I sent something to make amends. Now.” He said that the thing in his hand was a square box, and he didn’t know what it was. Jiang Ruan laughed: “How can anyone come and bring gifts? I am not a cashier tavern.”
