"It's just that the pregnant lady was scolded and kicked out of the Ye family. After that, the rich man didn't go to the Ye family for a while. But you can hear the sound in the courtyard of the Ye family at night. The cry of a woman. Later, the Ye family seemed to be planning to move away from Shangjing. However, the night before leaving Shangjing, the Ye family was surrounded by the government, and the Qiangmo businessman was taken away. After that, they did not know what the Qiangmo man had committed. I don’t know where Mrs. Zai has gone.”
Jiang Nianjiao's heart sank deeper and deeper with every detail that Cui Qiao spoke.
Even though she wanted to deceive herself, the information clearly pointed to Jiang Fang's unresolved relationship with Se. The two had been entangled since before their mother died in childbirth.
She didn't even dare to think about how a woman who was still pregnant felt when she found out that her husband was entangled with a married woman. She didn't even dare to think about whether her mother's difficult childbirth might be related to them.
She said that with her father's temperament, there was no way he could treat a girl who had no blood relationship with her as his own.
It turns out that Jiang Zhi is really his biological daughter.
Jiang Nianjiao felt that everything had become inexplicably ridiculous.
Looking back at the life of her rebirth, because her mother died young and her father was always in a hurry, she was always left unchecked.
When she was young, she still had the maids and wives left behind by her mother to take care of her, but when she was still young enough to remember, her father sent away all the old people left behind by her mother for various reasons.
As a result, she was not taught well at the age when she should be taught the most. All the maids and maids around her were supporting her and trying their best to please her.
Because of this, she was raised with a low self-esteem and a pampered temperament.
Even if Yu Se later entered the house, Yu Se planned to kill him from the beginning.
How could she educate her carefully? She even arranged some maids around her who instigated her to do bad things all day long, and she herself was always a talkative stepmother.
She didn't understand this intention in the past. She just simply hated the mother and daughter. After all, since they entered the house, her father, who was always busy, began to come home more often. However, although he spent more time home, he still He didn't pay much attention to himself.
In fact, she doesn't seem to need him that much. After all, she has always been lacking in affection since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to this state.
But although she didn't need it, she couldn't see her father spending most of his time with the mother and daughter. She also told herself that Jiang Zhi was her younger sister and told her to treat her well.
But he has never treated himself well.
Things that were unreasonable before seem to be explained now.
In the past, she had always felt that Yu Se and her daughter were redundant, but it turned out that she was the only one who was redundant.
…
The moon enters the frosty forest, and the stars dye the fireflies and illuminate the river.
After having nightmares about the past, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't sleep anymore.
In the dream, she was sometimes sold into a brothel, humiliated, and beaten severely by the old madam.
Sometimes after the fall of the Jiang family, her handsome husband used words to humiliate her for being unclean, and the maids and maids in the backyard were even more lazy than the last.
Even after the imperial city was breached and all the officials from the old dynasty retreated to Beijing, she was the only official wife who was left in the old mansion.
Thinking of dreaming about those old things, she naturally couldn't sleep anymore, so she only carried a small lamp, put on her clothes and planned to walk around.
Tomorrow she would say goodbye to her aunt and return to the Jiang Mansion, which made her feel upset. She only felt more worried.
Knowing that kind of thing, she couldn't hold back her emotions several times even when facing her aunt, and even wanted to ask her aunt if she knew about her mother's past.
She really didn't dare to think about how she would feel when facing Jiang Fang.
When she reached the edge of Shuanghua Forest, she actually heard someone staying up late at night, playing the flute alone.
Hearing this voice, she subconsciously planned to leave. After all, those who were still awake at this time were probably not the nobles in the palace.
She didn't want to have too much interaction with these noble people.
However, the melodious music of the flute only attracted the fireflies that stretched inside like fine yarn.
She was curious, so she unconsciously followed him into the depths of the jungle.
Deep in the jungle is an artificial lake. There is a small pavilion in the lake, and a lamp in the pavilion is like a bean.
Looking from a distance, there seems to be a figure standing beside the pavilion.
Before she could see clearly who the person in the pavilion was, she felt a shadow coming from behind her.
She subconsciously wanted to move away from the man's approach, but there were stones under her feet that hindered her steps.
Then Jiang Nianjiao was hugged by another oncoming person and quickly retreated.
The man was dressed in white and his body was like a orchid orchid and jade tree. Just when Jiang Nianjiao was about to be stabbed in the back by the oncoming sword, she held the sword's edge with two fingers.
At the same time, the man just shouted "Back off!"
The secret guard who had just attacked Jiang Nianjiao quickly disappeared into the forest after asking for forgiveness.
The situation just now was so urgent that Jiang Nianjiao didn't have time to see clearly who was coming.
Then she heard the man call her warmly, "Jiaojiao, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Then when he lifted Jiang Nianjiao up from his arms, what caught Jiang Nianjiao's eyes was a smile as bright as the morning stars.
However, after Jiang Nianjiao saw this person clearly, she just thought: Why haven't we seen him for a long time? It must have only been a few days.
While she was cursing in her heart, she only gave a hurried salute and said, "Thank you so much for your help, Your Highness. I have something else to do so I won't bother you."
After saying this, she turned around to leave, but Zhao Yanzhen stretched out his hand to stop her.
He just looked at Jiang Nianjiao with a half-smile and said, "Jiaojiao, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Jiang Nianjiao looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. What was there to talk about between them? They probably had not met each other more than four times in total.
But thinking about it, Zhao Yanzhen will still be Chen Jinghuai's immediate boss in the future. Jiang Nianjiao didn't want to make the other party lose face too much.
So she stopped,
"What do you mean by your highness?" Jiang Nianjiao asked in confusion.
"Does the girl really have no memory of what happened between you and me in the tavern that day?" Zhao Yanzhen took a step forward.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back.
What does he mean? What happened to him?
Then she thought that after drinking with him in the tavern that day, her system completely went offline.
So what exactly happened that day?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but stop taking a step back. She said softly, "I seemed very drunk that day. Did something happen between us?"
When Zhao Yanzhen heard this, his amber eyes only had a flickering luster. He said slyly, "The girl kissed me forcefully that day and said she was happy with me."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Nianjiao felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
She forced a kiss on him? Are you saying that you are happy with him?
Did she do this because she was confused?
He was not among her candidates for the future from the beginning.
No matter how drunk she was, she would never have done such a ridiculous thing, so her face only darkened slightly, "The joke your Highness told is not funny at all. I already have a candidate for marriage, and I will go back to Jiang Mansion tomorrow." When I get married, I hope Your Highness will not make such jokes casually."
"Jiaojiao, I am not joking. If you don't believe it, I can ask the secret guard who was in the house that day to tell us what happened to us at that time?"
Naturally, Jiang Nianjiao didn't want to hear what the secret guard said. They were his people anyway, and it didn't matter what he said. But when she heard that there was a secret guard in the house at that time, she couldn't help but feel horrified.
After all, before he was drunk, he had secretly added spices to his wine while he was away. However, he now told himself that there was a secret guard in the room. In this way, wasn't that what he had done from beginning to end? Does he see every little movement?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzhen suspiciously, but there was nothing strange about his face.
He even really planned to recruit the secret guard hidden in the tree to talk about what happened that day. "Yuan Song, if Jiaojiao doesn't believe me, why don't you tell Jiaojiao what happened in the tavern that day in detail?"
Following his greeting, a black shadow on the tree jumped up, like a black bat on a moonlit night. Before Jiang Nianjiao could even see the other person's figure clearly, the man was already kneeling firmly in front of Jiang Nianjiao.
"Girl, you did take the initiative to kiss His Highness when you were drunk that day. You had been hiding in the tree at that time, which can be proved by your humble position." Yuan Song's voice was extremely low, and even though he said this kind of thing, he did not have any emotion at all. .
Then he hesitated slightly and said, "But what the girl and His Highness said specifically, I didn't hear."
And as Yuan Song's words fell, Jiang Nianjiao seemed to have some very broken fragments appearing in her mind. In those clips, it seemed that he had indeed sat on someone's lap, and even forced his lips to his.
So is she really crazy?
Just thinking about these broken pieces.
Jiang Nianjiao only realized it later and wished she could find a crack in the ground and burrow down on the spot.
So why on earth would she do such a thing!
And Zhao Yanzhen really asked why he asked his bodyguard to talk about such a thing.
Zhao Yanzhen looked at Jiang Nianjiao with a smile, knowing that she must have remembered something, so he just waved his hand to signal the secret guard to return to his position.
"Has Jiaojiao finally remembered?" Zhao Yanzhen asked with a chuckle, and he seemed to take another step closer to Jiang Nianjiao suspiciously.
How could Jiang Nianjiao admit such a thing? She immediately denied it and said, "What did you remember? I don't know what you are talking about!"
After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao turned around and wanted to run away, but Zhao Yanzhen grabbed Jiang Nianjiao's waist.
"Is Jiaojiao planning to deny her guilt afterwards?" The corners of his thin lips raised slightly.
Lin Shen was surprised to see a deer and a beauty coming under the moon.
Even though she usually avoided Zhao Yanzhen, she couldn't help but be confused by his appearance at this time.
Then his amber eyes, which seemed to be filled with fine wine, only drooped slightly. He seemed to be lost in words and said, "That's right. If Jiaojiao didn't have the mentality of not admitting her fault, how could she turn around and beg your majesty for the favor with my cousin?" Getting married."
His resentful expression was like resenting her husband. Although she and Zhao Yanzhen had nothing to do with each other, the feeling he gave her at the moment was too strange.
