Aunt Gu hurried to the reception area.
Just when they arrived at the door of a moon cave, a woman suddenly rushed out from the opposite side and bumped into her with straight eyes.
Aunt Gu was walking very fast and she ran into him without warning. Aunt Gu was knocked back two steps and fell to the ground with a "Oops".
"Aunt? Aunt!" The mother-in-law who hit her was very excited when she saw Aunt Gu, "Aunt, something happened!"
Aunt Gu's hand was in burning pain. When she fell to the ground, she held her hand up, which might have hurt her hand. She supported the maid's hand to get up and kicked her mother-in-law.
"You mean dog slave, you don't have eyes."
The mother-in-law was kicked to the ground. She didn't care to cry out in pain. She knelt on the ground in fear and said anxiously: "Auntie, something really happened. Someone... someone is missing... Mother Xu is missing."
The so-called mother Xu was Aunt Gu's confidant, and she had just been sent out to do "big things".
After hearing what she said, Aunt Gu remembered, her face changed, and with a wave of her hand, everyone else took a few steps back.
Aunt Gu squatted down and lowered her voice: "What happened?"
"Mother Xu...is gone, aunt, Mother Xu is gone. I can't find her anywhere - she's gone." The mother-in-law was frightened and wanted to cry loudly.
"Shut up!" Aunt Gu shouted.
The mother-in-law trembled with fright and hurriedly stopped crying, but her eyes were still confused and frightened.
"When did you disappear?" Aunt Gu pursed her lips vigorously and asked in a cold voice.
"Just... just now, someone came over... I hurriedly went over to deal with it for a few words, and then went to help. Halfway through, I found an excuse to go back. I didn't... I didn't see Mother Xu. I thought she... had... After everything was done, I went to find Mother Xu, but I couldn’t find anyone anywhere... Mother Xu was gone, she was gone.”
The mother-in-law was so frightened that tears fell down, and her whole body was shaking with fear.
I originally wanted to do that kind of thing, but now the more I think about it, the more afraid I become, and the more I think about it, the more afraid I become.
"If you don't want to die, just shut up." Aunt Gu said sinisterly, glaring at the mother-in-law with sharp eyes. The mother-in-law choked for a moment and finally choked back her cry.
Aunt Gu stood up and ordered: "Someone, help her back to rest, and have a good rest quietly in the room, so as not to bump into other nobles."
People around Aunt Gu understand this.
A maid came over and helped the mother-in-law get up. She first looked back at her aunt's yard and locked up the people. At this moment, her aunt had more important things to do.
Watching her mother-in-law leave, Aunt Gu calmed herself down, something happened over there?
She didn't quite believe it, or Xu's mother had gone to do something. There was a banquet in the house today, and there were so many things going on everywhere that it was worth such a fuss.
It's just a matter of a foreign woman. On such a good time today, no one will notice what is happening in the corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The most important thing right now is my daughter.
After calming down, Aunt Gu led the people back to the place where the guests were entertained. Unexpectedly, today was destined to be an uneventful day.
Before she arrived, she met the person Jiang Linglong sent to look for her. After hearing clearly what the messenger girl said, Aunt Gu's head buzzed and her eyesight went black.
"Auntie."
"Aunt..."
It took a while before I heard the sound again. I didn't care about anything else and hurried to Jiang Linglong's place.
The old lady let them in. Aunt Gu knelt down as soon as she entered the door, and her tears fell immediately. Unlike the last time when she came in with a loud shout, she just shed tears silently this time. After kneeling down, she respectfully saluted the old lady.
Jiang Linglong burst into tears, followed Aunt Gu and knelt down.
"Old madam, if something like this happens, eldest lady... what should eldest girl do? Can the marriage she was preparing for... still come true?" Aunt Gu learned her lesson this time and did not directly accuse her.
This is making a fuss about Jiang Linglong's marriage and using it as a lead.
Jiang Jinxin looked at the mother and daughter calmly. Jiang Linglong's marriage was indeed very involved. Although the two families were not engaged, they had successfully met each other. At the time of the engagement, the last one The second young master Yue, who died early, was said to be very satisfied with the marriage.
Of course, this guy didn't end well in the end.
The so-called widowhood was just concocted by King Jing Pei Juesheng and Jiang Linglong to hide it from others. However, Jiang Linglong's so-called widowhood was different from ordinary people's widowhood. Therefore, in the end, after "killing" herself, Jiang Linglong Linglong can marry into Prince Jing's palace and become the principal concubine.
This is not only Jiang Xuncheng's method, but also the early planning of Aunt Gu and her daughter, who took other people's lives to pave the way for Jiang Linglong, and embellished the already engaged Jiang Linglong's reputation to be extremely perfect, even higher than The other unmarried girls then received the royal consent and entered Prince Jing's Mansion.
This ability is really out of reach!
However, Prince Jing is still only the second prince, and the marriage has not been decided yet...
The old lady frowned gloomily. She was also interested in this marriage. The concubine married the legitimate son. This was because the son became the left prime minister, otherwise there would be no such good thing.
"Old madam, you have to make the decision for the eldest girl!" Aunt Gu wiped her tears with a sad and aggrieved voice.
"Linglong, why do you have to borrow Cuju's clothes? Are your own useless?" the old lady's tone was cold and depressing.
"Grandma!" Jiang Linglong had been warned repeatedly by Aunt Gu before she came. She cried and walked two steps to the old lady and cried out in distress, "My granddaughter originally had two sets of clothes, but one set was accidentally stained. It had just been washed and not dried, and there was another set, but the little maid accidentally burned it and couldn’t wear it, so I had no choice but to think of my second sister’s clothes.”
Jiang Linglong started to cry while sobbing.
Jiang Jinxin sneered, it was really all an accident.
"How can you wear the clothes customized for Jin Xin?" the old lady said coldly, her anger rising.
"Grandma, I originally thought I couldn't wear it, but...but people around me heard that the servants who sent the clothes from the Anxin Marquis Mansion said that the clothes for the second sister were made too big, and they said they might not fit. I...I just thought Try it, the guests at today’s banquet must come out and play with you for a while, and you can’t treat the guests slowly.”
Jiang Linglong cried so hard that she couldn't breathe and felt extremely wronged.
"You didn't notice when you were putting it on that it couldn't be put on?" The old lady couldn't believe it.
"When I put it on, I felt it was a little tight. There was nothing else, and I didn't have any other clothes to wear, so I borrowed them and wore them. Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, the clothes actually tore on their own." Jiang Linglong burst into tears. , lying on the ground clutching his chest, tears falling one after another.
The old lady snorted coldly: "You brought it all on yourself. If you don't accompany me, naturally your second sister will accompany you..."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, thinking that either something happened to Jiang Linglong or something happened to Jiang Jinxin, but it was better to fall down than to expose her naked clothes.
He continued to reprimand: "Your sister is the real master today. Only when your sister is with you will people look up to you. Why are you, a concubine, jumping up and down? The trouble is still getting out of hand." "
Jiang Linglong was not the only one who was embarrassed. Thinking of what had just happened, the old lady's face darkened.
These words were simply a slap in the face to Aunt Gu and Jiang Linglong. In the past few years, Aunt Gu felt more and more that she was the mistress of the Jiang family. Some servants who flattered her would even call her "Madam" in private. , Aunt Gu was very satisfied and became more and more proud.
She always felt that she was not a concubine, and everything Kong had from now on was prepared for herself.
Now that the old lady had unceremoniously lifted the veil of shame, she felt anxious and hateful for a moment, and her face turned red.
"Old madam, the clothes were borrowed by the second girl, who has harmed the eldest girl to such an extent. Second girl, don't the second girls have anything to say?" Aunt Gu covered her sleeves and cried.
Jiang Jinxin raised her eyes, her eyes were like water, and she was extremely calm: "Aunt Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"Second Miss, these clothes belong to you. They have been kept with you for a few days. If something really happens, shouldn't Second Miss be more aware?" Aunt Gu said.
"What do you know? Do you know that these clothes will be tight for my eldest sister? These are my clothes. I just need to find them suitable. However, there have been a lot of things happening in the house recently, and I have no intention of trying on clothes. After my grandpa brought them over, I have been putting them away. When I was at the desk, I didn’t expect that the eldest sister would come over to borrow it. I just borrowed it and tried to put it on because it didn’t fit. It was so tight and was still pushing in. When the eldest sister put it on, she never thought that the clothes might be tight. Cracked?"
Jiang Jinxin said calmly.
The key to the matter is that Jiang Linglong took the initiative to borrow it. Jiang Jinxin would not predict it beforehand. Knowing that Jiang Linglong's clothes could not be worn, she would fall in love with her own clothes.
Just on this point, Jiang Jinxin is in an invincible position.
What's more, when she was borrowing clothes for walking, how could Jiang Linglong not know that the clothes didn't match her, and it would be more likely to cause trouble if she put them on forcefully.
"But...the clothes are yours." Jiang Linglong didn't believe it and glared at Jiang Jinxin with red eyes.
"It's mine, but why did you borrow it?" Jiang Jin thought, suddenly becoming suspicious, "Sister, do you... want to do something?"
What do you want to do?
The old lady suddenly had an angry look on her face, stared at Aunt Gu fiercely and asked, "Is this related to you again?"
No wonder the old lady thinks so. What happened before is not over yet. On the surface, it was Jiang Linglong's accident, and Jiang Jinxin was highly suspicious. In fact, it was Jiang Linglong's own fault. It was just an accident, and it was Jiang Linglong who fell into the water in the end. The old lady was going to deal with the mother and daughter together at that time.
Jiang Xuncheng begged and even promised to treat Kong better in the future, so the old lady gave up.
Now this thing sounds similar to that thing.
On the surface, it seemed that Jiang Linglong was killed, but in fact, it was Jiang Jinxin who was almost killed. What would have happened if she had been the one wearing the clothes on the stage?
It wouldn't be as simple as just falling, right?
"Old madam, I...don't dare. I obeyed the old madam and have been busy in the kitchen at the back. I don't know anything about what happened between the two girls."
Aunt Gu cried and wiped her tears.
The old lady glared at Aunt Gu with a sinister expression. She didn't believe Aunt Gu that much because of the previous incident, and suddenly said: "Come here, go and ask the Prime Minister to come over."
Jiang Xuncheng, the left prime minister, didn't know what happened in the backyard, and he didn't know that the old lady was looking for him. Of course, she couldn't find him even if she tried to look for him. He got into the carriage in a panic and headed out of the house...
