When Jiang Xuncheng returned home from business, it was already dark.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he was called over by the old lady.
After entering the door, he bowed to the old lady and said, "I've met my mother."
"How is the situation? Have you found the assassin who assassinated the Sixth Prince?" The old lady waved her hand and motioned for her son to sit down first.
Jiang Xuncheng stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow: "Mother, since there are more things about the assassins in the palace, the things outside are much less important. The most important thing to investigate now is the things in the palace."
The old lady nodded and talked about today's events: "Concubine Kong came here today to see Aunt Gu. She thought Aunt Gu had harmed the Kong family, so she was so angry that she beat Aunt Gu."
"How dare she be so presumptuous? This is Zuo Xiang's Mansion, not the Huai'an County Prince's Mansion." Jiang Xuncheng's face darkened.
"It would be fine if that was it..." the old lady sighed, "Brother Han actually stepped forward to push her. When he pushed Concubine Kong out, he used a little more force. Concubine Kong was already ill. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I fell out and vomited blood."
Jiang Linhan said that he just stood in front of Aunt Gu and did not push Concubine Kong. In other words, he flicked his sleeves and it was impossible to really hurt Concubine Kong.
People around Concubine Kong insisted that Jiang Linhan pushed Concubine Kong, causing Concubine Kong to vomit blood on the spot.
The veins on Jiang Xuncheng's forehead throbbed violently. He was originally angry with Concubine Kong for being too angry, but now he had to consider the consequences of this matter.
"Why is Lin'er so careless?"
"That's what I said. No matter what, this matter... is the responsibility of our family. Jin Xin said that she met the Prince of Huai'an when she went out. I'm afraid that the Prince of Huai'an will not let you go." The old lady frowned.
"It should be fine."
"The imperial doctor has already seen it."
"How to say?"
"I need to take medicine for two days first. The situation is very bad. She may have been seriously ill before. This time she was forced to come over because of Kong's incident. I saw something wrong with her face before. She had a sick look on her face. She was so sick. It's so heavy, it shouldn't have come to our house in the first place."
the old lady complained.
Jiang Xuncheng's expression turned ugly: "The Prince of Huai'an is a martial artist..."
"That's what I think too. If they are such a reasonable family, they will definitely understand the bright moon. It's no wonder Brother Han, but... it's the Prince of Huai'an. This Prince... wasn't very reasonable in the past. I'm afraid of him. It will... cause a bigger problem, if Concubine Kong really has something... let alone Aunt Gu, even us... will have to suffer."
The old lady was worried.
Jiang Xuncheng remained silent.
Seeing that he remained silent, the old lady said again: "This time, you have to show your attitude no matter what. Aunt Gu, I will have someone lock you in the woodshed."
"What does mother mean?"
"A aunt dares to attack the concubine of Huai'an County Prince's Palace. You don't really think that nothing happened, do you?" The old lady asked dissatisfiedly.
Her son's attitude towards Aunt Gu has always made her unhappy.
When she first came to Beijing, she heard that her son was going to marry a girl from a well-known family, and she was very satisfied. However, she did not expect that after returning to the capital, her son had already had a private entanglement with another woman of unknown origin. That woman was even in the capital. She was pregnant before she entered Beijing.
If it weren't for the child in Aunt Gu's belly, she would never have tolerated her in the first place.
"Mom, Aunt Gu is pitiful. She no longer has any relatives in her family. She was... hurt because of me." Jiang Xuncheng said softly.
"So, now you... have to bear all these things for her? With you, a left prime minister without any power?"
Jiang Xuncheng was silent again.
"Okay, I'll send her to the nunnery outside the city tomorrow morning. When she comes back, it depends on Concubine Kong's body. Originally it was only for half a month, but now it's definitely not enough for half a month. If Concubine Kong has nothing serious, she will be able to do it in the future. Come back." Seeing that he was still hesitating, the old lady made a decision for him.
"Just follow mother's words." Jiang Xuncheng nodded.
"I've already asked someone to slap her mouth." Seeing that her son agreed, the old lady added.
"Mother!" Jiang Xuncheng said displeased.
"What? Do you think this is enough? Just sending people away? Aren't you afraid that the Duke of Huai'an will get angry and go to the nunnery to beat up Aunt Gu? By then, you will really lose your face." The old lady sighed. , "Or do you really want to break up with the Prince of Huai'an?"
Jiang Xuncheng was able to reach this point because he relied on the Prince of Huai'an in many ways.
Seeing Jiang Xuncheng's silence, the old lady said impatiently: "Okay, I asked someone to beat me for this. Whether you are happy or unhappy, even if you hate me in the future, you can only do this now, otherwise you When I faced the Prince of Huai'an, I was speechless, or did he really cause something?"
"The mother did the right thing, but the child thought wrong." Jiang Xuncheng lowered his head.
"There is one more thing, it's Jin Xin's..." After settling Aunt Gu's matter, the old lady talked about Jiang Jinxin's entry into the palace. After explaining the matter in detail, the old lady said: "You go back and make a plan today. Please give Kong a royal decree, I have asked you to do so in the past, but you have been putting it off again and again, and now you can't put it off any longer."
Jiang Xuncheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"You're not still thinking about asking Aunt Gu for a royal commission in the future, are you?"
"Mom, why are you talking about this now!" Jiang Xuncheng rubbed his brows irritably, one thing after another, each one challenging his patience.
"Then go back and write a note and send it to the palace tomorrow, so as not to get into trouble again. Mrs. Kong and Concubine Kong are both waiting to find out what happened in our house."
"Just as mother said."
"You go out later and go see Mrs. Kong again. She's sick. Go see her more often in the next few days."
"She has been sick all year round, and this is not the first time she has been sick. I am also busy with my own affairs, so I can always take care of her."
The old lady was stunned by Jiang Xuncheng's words. This did not refer to her married wife, but more like a burden that could not be thrown away. Those who didn't know it thought he regarded her as his enemy!
"At the beginning...you were the one who asked to marry me."
"Mother, at first I thought she was the biological daughter of the Anxin Marquis Mansion, but I didn't realize that she was just an adopted daughter." Jiang Xuncheng said in a bad way. He was very hopeful at the beginning, but was disappointed later.
An adopted daughter, just an adopted daughter, actually just an adopted daughter.
He really didn't know at first, but later Aunt Gu helped him find out the information.
"I know you feel aggrieved, but what can you do if you feel aggrieved again? At least Mrs. Kong and Concubine Kong both recognize her. Now that Jinxin has exchanged her own merits for her life, this has become inevitable! Even if you No matter how dissatisfied I am, at least I want to go over and see her."
The old lady paused when she said this: "That matter... no matter whether it is true or not, it cannot be related to Kong. At this time, Kong will be involved again... Mrs. Kong will not let you go, Kong Side." The concubine will not let you go, there are too many marks on your body... for them to catch..."
This is talking about the previous incident of Mrs. Zuodu Censor.
This is another annoying thing!
Jiang Xuncheng had a big head and interrupted the old lady: "Mother, my son still has something to do, so I'll go prepare the discounts first!"
This meaning is very clear...
No matter what, I don’t want to see Kong’s!
