Jiang Yuhuan laughed angrily, but he didn't expect Jiang Qiao to dote on Jiang Li to such an extent that there was no limit.
"So what? The Marquis really said it lightly. Jiang Li is the young lady of the Hou Mansion. No matter how angry the Duke is, he will not kill him. I am different. I am his concubine. Even if he is beaten to death, no one will say anything. , and still have to bear the infamy. Mr. Hou, my life is also my life."
"If the county prince is willing to accept you, he will not kill you."
Jiang Qiao made a lot of lies, but Jiang Yuhuan didn't want to argue with him.
"Master Hou, there is no need to say any more. No one cares about my life more than myself. Jiang Li was beaten because she had evil intentions and deserved it.
I advised the Marquis to think carefully about whether he wanted Jiang Li to be a lowly concubine like me, or to be a high-status concubine. If you want to be a concubine, you can use this method to achieve your goal in the future, and you will be beaten. If you don't want to, just restrain Jiang Li.
Today she was beaten by the county prince, and it was his business. She wants to throw dirty water on me, but I won't let it pass. You tell her to keep her tail between her legs, and don't let me catch her little tail. "
After saying that, Jiang Yuhuan turned around and left.
Jiang Qiao stepped forward and stopped her, "You! Is this your attitude as a sister?"
"Master Hou, it's better not to pressure me with sister-in-law matters. I don't recognize my relatives."
She doesn't belong here in the first place, and the original owner has nothing to do with these people, so why should she care about others.
If you can't protect yourself, how can you care about others.
"I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you understand!"
Jiang Yuhuan glanced sideways, "For my own good? For my own good, do you want me to die?"
"The county prince must have his reasons for accepting you. If you admit that you did it, he will take care of you. But do you know that Jiang Li's biological mother is the daughter of Zuo Xiang's younger brother, and she and Sun Taifei are cousins. If you don't do it as soon as possible, Make amends, do you think you can escape unscathed?"
"I didn't do it. I won't admit it. Lord Marquis, please come back."
Maybe Jiang Qiao was right, but if Mrs. Sun didn't know right from wrong, even if she made amends, they might not let her go.
She crossed Jiang Qiao into the house and asked the concierge to close the door.
She had to ask Fu Shiju clearly about Princess Sumin.
She walked in a hurry, feeling uneasy and afraid that the result would be contrary to what she had always thought.
But before she reached Jingxuanyuan, a boy trotted up to her.
She thought it was Jiang Qiao's problem, so she asked, "Why, the Marquis refuses to leave?"
The boy bowed his head and replied, "No, it's the British princess who has something to bring you."
"What words?"
"The British Duchess wants you to go to the British Duchess's residence."
Jiang Yuhuan refused decisively without even thinking about what good things could come from going to the British government.
"I dont go."
"The Duke's wife told me that if you don't go, the Queen Mother will be waiting for you."
Use the Queen Mother to hold her down.
The Queen Mother summoned her and she had to go.
Jiang Yuhuan was pinched so hard that she gritted her teeth in anger, "Okay, I'll go."
"The county prince has already told me to prepare the carriage."
"Now?"
"yes."
Jiang Yuhuan took a breath, turned on her toes, and walked out the door.
Jiang Qiao had disappeared outside the door. She sat on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
She didn't know what she would encounter when she went to the Duke's Mansion. Judging from the attitude of the Duke's wife towards her, she probably had to fight another tough battle.
The carriage moved slowly and suddenly stopped.
Jiang Yuhuan opened the car curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"
The groom replied: "There is a carriage coming from the other side, and we can't get through."
"Give way."
The groom nodded in agreement and steered the horse back.
But the person opposite seemed impatient and spoke rudely, "Who is so bold as to stop the carriage of Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion!"
The maid under the carriage replied: "Madam, this is the carriage from Duanyang County Prince's Palace."
"Prince Duanyang's Mansion?" The woman's voice immediately softened a bit, and she said warmly, "But Prince Duanyang?"
Jiang Yuhuan said quietly: "No."
"No? Prince Duanyang has never heard of a female family member. I wonder what the relationship between the girl and Prince Duanyang is?"
Jiang Yuhuan didn't know what Mrs. Zhongyi Bo meant by this, and she didn't want to expose her identity to the outside world. What's more, she and Qi Xiaoyu still had a grudge, and it was impossible for Mrs. Zhongyi Bo to know and give her the opportunity to cause trouble for her.
She had more important things to do at the moment, so she refused and said, "I cannot inform you that the driver of the carriage has given up his seat. Madam, please go ahead."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhongyi Bo was not annoyed at all. Instead, she said patiently, "Nothing, I'm not busy. I hit it off with the girl at first sight. Why don't we go to the teahouse to have tea?"
Jiang Yuhuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. They were separated by the carriage and didn't show up. How did this "feeling like old friends at first sight" come about?
Mrs. Zhongyibo is so easy to talk to?
But she didn't know that when it came to the carriage from the county prince's palace, her arrogant aura was exactly the same as Qi Xiaoyu's.
"No, I have important things to do. I'm going late so I don't want the British princess to blame me."
When she heard about the British princess, Mrs. Zhongyi's tone became a little more joyful, "I was going to meet the British princess, so I won't delay the girl. My uncle will celebrate his birthday in a few days, and he asked the girl to attend as a favor."
Mrs. Zhongyi was so polite that Jiang Yuhuan didn't know how to react, but she was somewhat interested in going to Uncle Zhongyi's house.
Qi Xiaoyu spread rumors outside, but she hasn't taught her a lesson yet.
She was thinking about going to Uncle Zhongyi's house, but she said humbly: "I'm afraid I'm not qualified because of my low status."
"Hey, girl, don't belittle yourself. When I get back, I'll have someone send a message to my house. Just come, girl."
Jiang Yuhuan curled her lips. No matter what her plan was, she had already hinted at Mrs. Zhongyi Bo's identity. It was her kind invitation. If she wanted to use her identity to make matters worse, she wouldn't be blamed.
"If that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Okay. Then I won't delay the girl." Mrs. Zhongyibo directed the driver to drive away and make way for Jiang Yuhuan.
Jiang Yuhuan lowered the curtain and waited until Uncle Zhongyi's carriage had gone away before he asked the doubts in his heart.
After all, the coachman was a servant of the county prince's palace and knew more than ordinary people. He quickly gave an explanation to Jiang Yuhuan's questions.
Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion has long since declined, and Qi Yi's generation will be the last generation to receive the title.
They were the least powerful family among the powerful in the capital.
Uncle Zhongyi gave birth to three sons in total, the eldest son was the crown prince Qi Yi, and the two concubines Qi Yun and Qi Zhao.
Among them, Qi Yi, the eldest son of Prince Zhongyi, served as the deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Department, and he was the only one in the family who could hold an official position.
His two younger brothers were neither good at literature nor martial arts, and they were lazy and lazy all day long, so the burden of the entire family fell on Qi Yi.
If Qi Yi cannot make achievements, the title of the Qi family will not be passed down until his death, and the Qi family will become more and more in decline, and finally become an inconspicuous small family in the capital.
People who have once been glorious and enjoyed glory and wealth cannot accept decline.
This is why Mrs. Zhongyi's attitude immediately changed when she heard that it was the carriage belonging to the Prince of Duanyang County.
However, Jiang Yuhuan did not reveal his identity, and Mrs. Zhongyi Bo, who wanted to climb into the county prince's palace, did not ask further questions.
Jiang Yuhuan could imagine what Qi Xiaoyu would look like when she showed up at Uncle Zhongyi's house, and how Mrs. Zhongyi would react.
I don’t know whether Qi Xiaoyu really likes Fu Shilast or just wants to be rich.
The carriage drove slowly, and after about a quarter of an hour, it stopped at the gate of the British Government House.
Jiang Yuhuan jumped out of the car and looked at the gate that was even grander than the Prince's Palace. She couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed the Queen Mother's natal family. You could tell at a glance whether she was favored or not.
She turned to the coachman and told the coachman, "You go back first. I will come back when it's over."
Perhaps Fu Shilu had someone say hello, but the coachman turned around and left without hesitation.
He left quickly and neatly, which made Jiang Yuhuan wonder if there was someone else who had been having a lively chat with her just now.
She left in a hurry and didn't bring anyone from the county palace with her, so she had to go and knock on the door herself.
As soon as he walked up the steps, he was stopped by the guard at the door.
"who?"
"Jiang Yuhuan, the eldest daughter of Marquis Wensi, was asked by the British princess to come."
The guard looked her up and down and said, "Wait a minute, I'll report it."
Jiang Yuhuan took a step back and stood on the steps waiting.
She waited and waited, but no one came.
At first she thought it was because the British government was so big that it was slow to arrive.
Only later did she realize that it was the British father-in-law who was deliberately trying to intimidate her.
She beat her sore thighs, straightened up, and turned away without saying a word.
Before anyone could reach the street, they heard the door open.
She ignored it and moved on.
Seeing Jiang Yuhuan's pace, the maid behind her with an upright posture hurriedly ran forward to stop Jiang Yuhuan regardless of her image.
She gasped and said, "Miss Cousin, where are you going?"
Jiang Yuhuan looked at her in confusion, then turned to look at the door blankly, with a look of surprise on his face, "Huh? The door is open? I thought the Duke's wife didn't tell you that I was coming, so no one received me, and I was about to go back .”
"How could it be! Madam will tell you as soon as she comes back." The maid smiled, but there was undisguised disdain in her eyes.
"Then the British Duke's Palace is bigger than the County Prince's Palace, so it took some time?"
The maid pretended to apologize, "My cousin, I'm sorry, but the guard at the door didn't turn around for a while and delayed the work."
The guard immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Biao. Madam said that the concubine from Duanyang County Prince's Palace will be here. I thought you were the concubine and pretended to be Miss Biao to save face, so..."
"Presumptuous! Do you know that you have made a big mistake? If I hadn't happened to bump into you, would you have concealed this matter?"
"The villain knows his mistake! The villain just wants to delay time and teach her a lesson, but he doesn't know that she is really a cousin."
"Stop!" Jiang Yuhuan snorted coldly. Don't think she couldn't hear it. These two people were belittling her status as a concubine in disguise.
The two sang together in perfect harmony.
"Can't you get in yet?"
She was not in the mood to watch a show here.
The maid frowned slightly, raised her hand casually and pointed in the direction of the door, "Miss Cousin, please follow me."
Jiang Yuhuan walked in front. She walked up the steps, crossed the gate, and followed the maid's instructions to go to the Fushou Hall where the British Duke's wife was.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard cheers and laughter inside. When the maid outside the door saw her appearance, she immediately went in to report her.
Jiang Yuhuan was unsure. This was the territory of the British duchess. The British duchess was powerful. If something happened, he might not be able to escape.
She walked in with an uneasy feeling, and accidentally didn't notice that she was hugged by someone.
