Aunt Gu and Jiang Linglong were kneeling as punishment. The old lady was impatient to listen to their cries anymore and was waiting for her son to come over and ask about the matter.
Unexpectedly, he said that his son left in a hurry, and it seemed that something serious had happened.
The old lady sat and waited uneasily. Jiang Jinxin did not leave. She sat aside and quietly patted the old lady's back. She tilted her head slightly and saw Aunt Gu kneeling in front of the tree under the tree outside the window, and Jiang Linglong knelt in the back. Both mother and daughter were wiping away tears and seemed really aggrieved.
The corners of their lips curved silently. Even though they were like this, the mother and daughter were still pretending like this.
Of course, all this was pretended to be seen by Jiang Xuncheng who came over.
Suddenly he looked down, is it about the sixth prince?
Emperor Xuan Jiang Xuncheng entered the palace?
Did this happen in the last life?
In her last life, she was still outside the house at this time. When she returned to the house, something big had happened. Therefore, in the last life, Jiang Xuncheng also left like this...
A woman hurriedly came in. She fell down before she even entered the door. She rolled on the ground and took a few steps forward. She cried loudly: "Old madam, it's not good, Dali Temple is here to ransack the house!"
"What?" The old lady suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, and swayed a few times.
Jiang Jinxin reached out to help her, and looked calmly at the woman who reported the news, ransacking the house? In her last life, she really wanted to confiscate her home. Even if she went to hell, she would have to drag these people along with her.
Under the tree, Aunt Gu and Jiang Linglong were so frightened that they sat down on their knees, trembling with horror.
Search your home? Are you going to ransack your home?
"The Prime Minister is back. Let the old lady see off the women first. After a while... the people from Dali Temple will come over, and the banquet can't be held."
The mother-in-law cried and said that she had fallen several times along the way and was so frightened that she lost her soul.
One moment there is singing and dancing, and the next moment everyone is being slaughtered. Who can bear this!
"How...how could it be?" The old lady trembled all over and fell to the side. Jiang Jinxin reached out to support her, looking at the frightened mother-in-law and scolded: "Speak carefully! What do you mean that Dali Temple came to raid the house? Father, be fine. How could it be a house search? Can we search the house and send the other women away properly?"
A few words strangely calmed the old lady's heart, and she kept saying: "Yes, tell me what happened? How many people came to ransack the house, what did the prime minister say? How many people did he bring?"
In a state of panic, she felt more and more that her second granddaughter was a stable person, and she could still hold her own at such a time. When she heard Aunt Gu and her daughter crying uncontrollably outside, the old lady became irritated.
He suppressed the anxiety in his heart and regained some sense.
"No... no one is with me." The question was asked so quickly that the mother-in-law only heard the last sentence.
"Didn't you bring anyone to search the house?" The old lady calmed down.
"No...no, the prime minister just said...Dali Temple will come over in a while to check...check..." The mother-in-law couldn't continue, her eyes widened, and she realized that it was not a house raid.
After hearing what the mother-in-law said clearly and seeing her like this, the old lady immediately understood and became so angry that she stepped forward and kicked the mother-in-law hard: "Ignorant stupid slave, you don't understand anything. How dare you talk nonsense and why don’t you go down and kneel down.”
The mother-in-law quickly retreated.
"Jin Xin, go take a look in front...ask your father...what's going on? Why do people from Dali Temple come here? What about the banquet...what about the banquet?"
The old lady took Jiang Jinxin's hand and said.
Although I think it is unlikely that it is a house raid, it is not a good thing for Dali Temple to come to my door. What should I do if I drive people away in the middle of the banquet?
"Grandma, don't worry. My father is the left prime minister and has a distinguished status. Nothing can happen. Something must have happened, and it may involve our house, or... or some evil people have escaped to our house, Dali Only the temple will send people here to look for people, and the female relatives of each family at the banquet are also afraid of disturbing them."
Jiang Jinxin found a reason to comfort the old lady.
"Yes...yes, that must be the case." The old lady nodded repeatedly.
"Grandma, first send someone to tell mother that something happened in the mansion. People from Dali Temple will come to investigate soon. Please ask the wives and girls from each mansion to go back first. Father has come over with official duties. The banquet will be held on another day. , and then prepare a gift to send to each government to express our sincerity." Jiang Jinxin said.
"Okay... okay, that's it." The old lady was at a loss as to what Jiang Jinxin was saying now.
He sent his mother-in-law to look for Kong.
After hearing this, Mrs. Kong also panicked. Fortunately, the mother-in-law who came to deliver the message got Jiang Jinxin's instructions and repeatedly explained that it was mainly Jiang Xun who took over the official duties. He had to start the investigation from his own house first. The banquet was no longer convenient for Kong. Only then did his heart feel at ease.
It was obvious that something had happened. Mrs. Kong first asked a few noble ladies to explain the matter. The ladies were also surprised and knew that something had really happened. They immediately helped Mrs. Kong to spread the word.
For a moment, all the female relatives stood up and left. Who dared to stay now? Who knew what happened to Zuo Xiang's Mansion.
After a while, all the guests got on the carriage and left. There was no time to have lunch.
After all the female relatives left, Mrs. Kong turned around and walked towards the backyard. After walking a few steps, she unexpectedly met Jiang Xuncheng. The two of them had not seen each other for a while.
The last time they met was a few months ago. This time Kong returned home and Jiang Xuncheng didn't come to see her.
In the corridor, when they met each other, Kong stepped aside with calm eyes, looking at Jiang Xuncheng's blessed body, no longer as happy as before.
Jiang Xuncheng was full of worries and was stunned when he met Kong. Then he looked bored and walked past.
When the two were intertwined, Jiang Xuncheng suddenly stopped and looked at Kong in surprise. Kong lowered her head slightly. Her face was pale and somewhat sickly, but her appearance was outstanding. Even though she was pregnant with Jiang Jinxin now, when she looked carefully , still looks outstanding, and the originally extremely beautiful face is a little more fragile and alienated because of this sick appearance?
Alienation?
Jiang Xuncheng felt that he had made a mistake, so he looked at Kong again with his hands behind his back. Kong was motionless, with his head still lowered, and had no intention of looking at him again.
"No courtesy." Jiang Xuncheng finally said.
Kong slowly stood up straight.
"Are you feeling well?" Jiang Xuncheng asked with rare concern.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern!" Kong said politely, "The old lady is frightened. If the Prime Minister has time, he'd better go to the back and explain, so as not to frighten the old lady."
Detached and solemn, even noble?
Jiang Xuncheng frowned, something was on his mind, so he strode inside without saying anything more. He really needed to tell his mother before he came to Dali Temple.
Older people cannot be frightened.
He had just come all the way and heard someone saying that the house was going to be ransacked, and the servants in the house were all in chaos.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "Come here and listen, and stay with your mother for a while. Don't let the people from Dali Temple disturb your mother."
Kong agreed and followed him, but Jiang Xuncheng disappeared after a while.
"Madam!" Tian's mother was uneasy.
"Let's go, Jin'er is still at the old lady's place." Kong frowned, thinking that Jiang Jin felt a little uneasy, and her feet involuntarily sped up.
Kong entered the yard behind Jiang Xuncheng. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Aunt Gu crying. Jiang Xuncheng was helping her to stand up. He glanced over and turned to Jiang Jinxin who followed the old lady out. He saw his daughter's calm face. , he breathed a sigh of relief, moved his feet, and came towards the old lady.
Hearing Aunt Gu's movements outside, Jiang Jinxin helped the old lady out. As soon as she went out, she saw Jiang Xuncheng helping Aunt Gu and comforting her softly. The old lady was so angry that her heart ached, and she said sternly: "Xuncheng, what's going on? ? What do you care about her doing at this time!"
"I've met my mother." Jiang Xuncheng pushed Aunt Gu away and stepped forward to salute the old lady.
"What's going on? What's going on?" the old lady said hurriedly.
"Mother, someone assassinated the Sixth Prince just outside our wall. The Emperor ordered me to take Dali Temple to investigate all the nearby mansions. The first one to be investigated was ours." Jiang Xuncheng explained the matter clearly in a few words.
Jiang Jinxin glanced at Jiang Xuncheng, then lowered her eyes, feeling different from the previous life...
The old lady first breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised her voice: "How is the Sixth Prince?"
"The sixth prince was seriously injured and is still lying in the palace. The emperor is furious." Jiang Xuncheng said solemnly, his brows furrowed tightly. If this matter fell on him, he would be blamed if he could not be found.
"Just outside our walls?"
"Outside the backyard wall, there used to be people there. At least there were maids and women sweeping the floor. Today there is no one. They all went to help." After Jiang Xuncheng finished speaking, he looked at Kong and scolded, "That's it today. Lack of people? Why is there no one at the back? I heard that the Sixth Prince even asked for help. If there were people here, how could such a thing happen?"
"Prime Minister, I don't know about this." Kong raised his eyes and said.
Jiang Xuncheng glared at Mrs. Kong irritably and scolded: "You are the wife of the Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion. Who knows about this kind of thing? You are still shirking your responsibilities. How can you have the dignity of a wife?"
It turns out that this can be blamed on his mother, so in the last life, he forced his mother to bear all the blame, using his mother's life to pay for Aunt Gu and himself.
Almost all of the ice-cold blood rushed up, and when it fell back to the limbs and bones, the ice-cold blood was filled with irresolvable hatred. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xuncheng: "Father, Aunt Gu arranged this matter. All Everything is all Aunt Gu’s idea. My mother was still ill before, but today she dragged her illness and managed to get up to entertain guests. "
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Xuncheng yelled when his daughter contradicted him.
"Father, my daughter is just telling the truth." Jiang Jinxin said calmly, looking at Aunt Gu and Jiang Linglong who were following Jiang Xuncheng, "So many things happened today, and they are not just about the sixth prince. If father If you want to be held accountable, you have to investigate carefully to avoid causing any trouble again."
"Dali Temple will investigate everything they come to and will make everything public. Father, are you ready?"
In one sentence, before Jiang Xuncheng could react, the old lady's expression changed drastically...
