The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 230. Reveal identity
In the morning of the second day, Jiang Ruan got up late. The subordinates in the General’s Mansion got Li’s order not to disturb her dreams, so when Jiang Ruan woke up, the sky was already bright, and the people around him were already there. Without Xiao Shao’s shadow, the house was as clean as nothing happened last night. She slowly raised her body, only to feel sore all over her body, with some faint red marks on her shoulders. Jiang Ruan looked at it speechlessly for a while. Xiao Shao hadn’t seen him in these dozens of days, but it was more and more beasts. Very strong, but it is really the so-called “Little Love Wins Newlyweds”.
Jiang Ruan asked Forsythia and Dewdrop to come in to clean up. When Forsythia combed Jiang Ruan’s hair, he looked a little embarrassed. Jiang Ruan saw her appearance and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“It’s better for the girl to change clothes.” Forsythia looked blushing at the back of Jiang Ruan’s neck. Seeing that Jiang Ruan was still a little dazed, she buried her head and fetched a bronze mirror, taking a photo from Jiang Ruan’s back. Watch with her. I saw a dark red scar on the white neck, which looked extremely ambiguous. Jiang Ruan was taken aback, and immediately scolded Xiao Shao bloody in his heart, and then dewdrops went to see the clothes that can be covered by the red lines on the neck with the collar upright.
Dewdrop carefully observed her face, and saw that although she was a bit blaming, she was not angry. She wanted to come last night, but Xiao Shao’s arrival made her change. At least the coldness on her face has disappeared. Maybe the couple reconciled. As always, the elimination of the barriers is a wonderful thing. Dewdrop was also really happy for Jiang Ruan, but inadvertently stared at Jiang Ruan with thoughtful eyes. Dewdrop was startled, and he asked a little hesitantly: “Young lady, but what do you want the servants to do?”
Jiang Ruan indeed shook his head and said, “Nothing.” What happened to Xiao Shao last night confirmed her conjecture. Jin Er really just played on the spot, but Xiao Shao knew about this play, she knew it, Jin Er knew it, but Dewdrop was. The one I don’t know, what kind of feelings Luzhu has for Jin Er, other people’s lives and feelings cannot all be determined by her, so how to solve this matter depends on Jin Er and Lu Zhu herself. Jiang Ruan sighed softly, and said to Tianzhu: “Pack things, we will go back to the house today.”
“Go home?” Tian Zhu was a little startled. Although he knew that the two must have reconciled last night, why did he return home so suddenly? Jiang Ruan just said: “It’s okay to be by surprise.” After that, he got up and went out first: “I’ll explain to my grandfather and grandmother.”
When Li heard about Jiang Ruan’s sudden departure, he was naturally taken aback. For more than ten days, the Zhao family had been very happy because of Jiang Ruan’s arrival. Although Jiang Ruan’s personality is not very warm, he is very good at dealing with people. His previous life in the palace also learned a lot of exquisiteness from Xuanli, and now he is even more responsive to the Zhao family who had responded to her with kindness. Come at your fingertips. Therefore, the Zhao family has already regarded her as one of the writers. Needless to say for the time being to leave so suddenly, Li is naturally reluctant. Only Jiang Ruan only said that Xiao Shao had come to remind him, and Li naturally couldn’t stop him. The two young couples live in their natal family every day. It’s not unfamiliar to the love between husband and wife. Therefore, Li smiled and said: “In that case, I can’t say anything. I will ask the housekeeper to take the gift back later and bring some for Xiao Shao’s child. A Ruan, I will come to the General’s Mansion more in the future. This is your home, grandma thinks of you.”
蒋阮又是笑了一回,结果等看到将军府准备的马车后就惊呆了,那马车几乎拉了整整一车的礼物,果真李氏是几乎将能想到的都与她送了。长者赐不敢辞,总又不能全部退回去,蒋阮倒有些哭笑不得,这么多的礼,哪里就是寻常串门的回礼,倒像是搬家了。天竺有些犹豫:“少夫人,马车恐走的很慢。”
一共两辆马车,一车蒋阮自个儿坐人,一车便是拉着礼。要随着那礼车,蒋阮的马车也走得慢,本来将军府与锦英王府挨得也没有太远,这么一来这路程却是原先的好几倍了。连翘便出主意道:“不若少夫人先走,这后头的马车慢慢跟上来,光天化日的,也不会有人抢了马车去。”
蒋阮却摇头道:“无事,慢慢回去吧。”这几日在将军府,她没有如原先在王府里一般观察周围的事情与宣沛送信,是以消息也落后了不少。同萧韶不同,萧韶是利用锦衣卫搜集情报,蒋阮却是用自己的眼睛,凭借寻常生活中不同的点滴推出可能发生的异常。
连翘便也不好再说什么了,马车一路慢慢行驶,倒是走的十分平稳,正走到城中街道上时,只听马车外头传来一声清脆的女声:“敢问可是弘安郡主的马车?”
蒋阮坐在车里,马车停了下来。天竺便已经率先跳了下去,看着外头的人问道:“什么人?”
外头的人也不过是一个丫鬟打扮的年轻姑娘,只那姑娘身上穿着的布料便能看出,家境自也是不凡的。只是那丫鬟也没料到突然从里面跳出一个面色冷冰冰的女子,开口就不客气的询问自己是谁,倒是吓了一跳。她定了定神,正要说话,身边便传来一个柔柔的声音:“是我,我的丫鬟无礼,冲撞了郡主,还请郡主海涵。方才我瞧见将军府的马车,猜想郡主也在上面,这才贸然上前打了个招呼。”
这话说的十分亲切没有架子,仿佛是对待一个老熟人一般。片刻后,马车的车帘被人掀开,蒋阮从里面走了出来。天竺站在蒋阮身侧,一起看着面前女子,这女子不是别人,正是姚家小姐,姚念念。
蒋阮也笑:“真是巧了,不曾想在这里遇上姚小姐,可见真是有缘。”
姚念念也颔首微笑:“是了。念念突然上前打搅,不想太过贸然失礼,实在有欠考虑,只是与王爷也算有过几面之缘,想着多少也要打个招呼才是。”
Dewdrop frowned when she heard it inside, what was going on with Yao Niannian’s words that kept on Xiao Shao? In this remark, Jiang Ruan was deliberately misunderstood. Dew Zhu couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, thinking that Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao finally let go of their previous suspicions last night, and Yao Niannian is here to make trouble again today, which is really hateful. Forsythia held Dewdrop so as not to lose her mind and rush out for a while. After all, she had to be calmer, but even so, she didn’t agree with Yao Niannian’s remarks.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan didn’t answer Yao Niannian’s words at all. He still smiled on his face, but he asked, “Speaking of which, there is still something to ask Miss Yao for help.”
Yao Niannian’s expression changed slightly, and then smiled: “If I can help the princess, I will naturally go all out.”
“When my grandmother’s birthday is approaching, I plan to embroider a protruding Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara for rent. However, there must be beads on the Avalokitesvara statue. I have heard that moonstones are abundant in the Jialin area of the South China Sea. The color of the beads is the brightest. However, Recently, there are no such beads in the shops in Beijing. I know that Mr. Yao is the Governor of Binhai. Can you bring some for me next time I go to Nanhai. I will thank you very much.”
The dewdrops and forsythia in the carriage are a little puzzled. When did Jiang Ruan plan to embroider the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. Yao Niannian did not expect Jiang Ruan to ignore her words, but he suddenly asked such a request. Governor Yao is the Governor of Binhai. He will spend most of the year in the South China Sea. Yao Niannian also lived in the South China Sea when he was a child. He was sent back to the capital when he was old. This little thing is naturally difficult for her, Yao Niannian smiled and said: “No thanks, since I have also had friendship with the prince, naturally I am also friends with the princess, and I always want to help with my friends. After I go home, I will be with you. Father talk about it.”
She always talked about things to Xiao Shao, but Jiang Ruan didn’t feel angry at all. On the contrary, she didn’t seem to hear her illocutionary words, and smiled: “Thank you Miss Yao, then.”
Yao Niannian smiled and said: “Don’t say thank you, just look at the princess, come back from the general’s mansion?”
“Exactly.” Jiang Ruan also replied.
Yao Niannian lowered his head, as if thinking of something general, and whispered: “No wonder he….” In general, Yao Niannian suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Ruan, as if suddenly found something wrong in his words. Hastily shut up. Saying half of it like this is even more tickling. However, this is clearly a failure for Jiang Ruan. She still didn’t seem to see Yao Niannian’s expression at all, but just smiled: “If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first. There are still many things in the mansion, and I have to wait to deal with it when I go back. If Miss Yao wants to continue shopping, I hope. You can have some fun.”
It’s like a punch on cotton, no force can be used, any words that can irritate others, when they arrive at Jiang Ruan, it seems like they don’t care at all. Watching the carriage go away, Yao Niannian’s maid next to Yao Niannian said angrily: “Miss, she must be deliberate! Her heart must have been angered, but she has to pretend to be calm and gentle. It must be like this. !”
Yao Niannian stood still, his eyes followed the direction of the carriage, and a dark glow flashed in his eyes. What does the phrase “there are many things to be handled in the mansion” mean, is it the supreme master power in King Jinying’s mansion, or is it a demonstration? Yao Niannian slowly lowered her head, her face seemed as if she was smiling just now, she still had a light appearance, and said, “Let’s go.”
In the carriage, Dewdrop and Forsythia did not dare to say a word, just because Jiang Ruan looked very dignified since getting on the carriage. This is really rare for her who is used to smiling and facing everything. Dewdrop and Forsythia didn’t know the reason, but Jiang Ruan was mad at Yao Niannian again, and they couldn’t wait to get Yao Niannian out of the capital right away. There is no woman who hasn’t left the pavilion staring at someone else’s husband all day. The identity of the Yao family will never allow Yao Niannian to come to Jinyi Palace to be a concubine, but Yao Niannian’s attitude is now obvious. She has the purpose of entering the house. Is it possible that she still wants to be equal to Jiang Ruanping? Forsythia and Lu Zhuwu thought to themselves, only to see that Jiang Ruan’s expression became more solemn, and they didn’t even dare to ask.
When he returned to the palace, butler Lin saw Jiang Ruanhui from coming to congratulate him. Then he was amazed that the General Mansion’s generous action was indeed the young lady’s natal family, but Jiang Ruan didn’t want to talk to him more, but only asked Mrs. Lin to pack up the pile of gifts and went back to the yard by himself. When he got to the yard, he only called Tianzhu to the study.
Tian Zhu followed Jiang Ruan into the study. Jiang Ruan walked to the table and sat down. Tian Zhu hesitated and asked, “What’s wrong with Madam Young?” So as long as she goes in alone, there must be something important. In the end, Jiang Ruan just looked at her and said, “What do you think of Yao Niannian just now?”
“This…” Tian Zhu was a little confused: “What is the young lady asking?”
“What martial arts does she have?” Jiang Ruan’s expression was very solemn. Tian Zhu was also slightly surprised, but he remembered it carefully, and shook his head: “No, but the maid beside her has a bit of skill, but it’s not high, it should be for self-protection.” This is not difficult to explain. A girl with such an identity as Yao Niannian goes out on her own, always taking a few guards with her. Yao Niannian probably didn’t want to bring a guard, so he brought a maid with some kung fu.
“Without martial arts, is there anything special?” Jiang Ruan asked.
Tian Zhu shook his head: “I didn’t find it. The young lady asked what this is doing? Ms. Yao’s family is just an ordinary lady, how can she have martial arts or something?” Jinyiwei has never had a lot of intelligence, and Yao Niannian is one of the best ladies in the capital. What is the situation? Naturally, everyone knows that Yao Niannian is like this. Why would Jiang Ruan suddenly ask if she can martial arts? Tianzhu was puzzled, but saw Jiang Ruan slowly lower his head and said: “She is not Yao Niannian.”
“What?” Tianzhu was taken aback and whispered: “She’s not Yao Niannian, who is it?”
“Things are a bit tricky,” Jiang Ruan said suddenly: “You find a way to find Xiao Shao, let him go back to the house earlier, and discuss something important.”
Tian Zhu is also very quick to do things, but only an hour’s time, Xiao Shao returned to the house. He should have also rushed back from outside, without time to change his clothes. When he saw Jiang Ruan, he asked, “What happened?”
Jiang Ruan was taken aback when he saw how worried he was, and then he pulled him into the room and closed the door, Xiao Shao quietly let her do all this, until Jiang Ruan pulled him to sit down in front of the desk, it didn’t matter. Slowly poured a cup of tea to Jiang Ruan: “Speak slowly.”
“I met Yao Niannian today.” Jiang Ruan said.
“En?” Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows, only to hear Jiang Ruan say again: “I suspect she is not Yao Niannian.” Seeing Xiao Shao didn’t respond, Jiang Ruan was a little confused, and then understood, angrily said: “You already know?”
“Don’t be angry,” Xiao Shao saw that she was going to be angry again, and quickly strangled Jiang Ruan’s anger at the budding stage, soothing: “There was suspicion before, but it has only been confirmed now. How do you know?” He Cha Open a topic.
Jiang Ruan glared at him, but didn’t bother with this issue. She hadn’t been in the house for the past few days, and Xiao Shao didn’t have to tell her just because she wanted to tell her. By the way: “I thought it was a bit weird before, maybe it was intuitive. I always felt very different from when I first saw her, so when I saw her on the street today, I deliberately tried her out.” Jiang Ruan will be here. On the street, I asked Yao Niannian to help find the moonstone, and then said: “That Jialin is just a place where I ridicule, and there is no moonstone at all. She should have responded. Obviously, she is completely unfamiliar with the South China Sea. It’s very true. Yao Niannian has followed Governor Yao to work in Binhai since he was a child. How could he not even know this little thing. She must have a problem.” Jiang Ruan’s eyes sank and slowly said: “I guess she is Nanjiang people?”
Xiao Shao watched her for a long while before sighing slightly, and said helplessly: “Yes, Nanjiang is a cunning human being. Once you are involved, you will inevitably be in danger.”
“Naturally, I am not afraid of any danger.” Jiang Ruan glared at him, and suddenly a sly touch passed through his eyes, and said: “I roughly know your plan, so I’ll help you get started in advance.”
Xiao Shao was startled slightly, as if trying to figure out the meaning of Jiang Ruan’s words, and then said: “You…”
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly and interrupted what he was about to say: “Needless to say, I have already decided. If Nanjiang and Xuanli are to collude, sooner or later it will have an impact on Xuanpei, I can’t let this happen. ”
“You want to break her?” Xiao Shao asked.
“Why should I break it, she can’t use this identity anymore. It’s not so easy to find such a minister’s family member who can approach the center of the court in a short time.”
As Jiang Ruan said, at this moment, in Yao Mansion, the butler next to Governor Yao looked at Yao Niannian in amazement, and said in surprise: “Miss said he wants Jialin’s moonstone? Jialin…. Nanhai seems to have never heard of Jialin. Ah, what is moonstone? Is it famous?”
The teacup in Yao Niannian’s hand fell out, and her expression suddenly stiffened for a moment. The maid beside her was startled and squatted down to pick up the chips that the teacup had broken on the ground. The housekeeper saw that Yao Niannian’s expression was wrong, and for a moment he was very nervous and asked, “Miss, what’s the matter? Or the old slave asks someone to ask, maybe it’s just an old slave who hasn’t learned the reputation of Moonstone.”
The little maid on the ground knew the cause of the matter and said angrily: “Take a thing that is impossible to find and ask the lady to find it. Then Princess Jinying is really scheming. If the lady can’t find it, maybe she has it. Did the words make her blame?” She didn’t notice what was wrong.
“It’s okay, I’ll go back to the house first.” Yao Niannian suddenly whispered. For the first time, there was no smile on her face, but she looked a little cold. When she returned to the room, she sat alone in front of the vanity mirror. Yao Niannian stared at the woman in the bronze mirror and said to herself: “The trap? It was discovered.” She sighed, her sleeves flashed, and she didn’t know. Something floated out, and straight out the window, leaving behind a scent of orchids.
