The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Jiang Ruan said: "Thank you, grandfather."

Zhao Guang looked at her, and Jiang Ruan in front of him looked calm, talking and acting like adults, even Zhao Feizhou and Zhao Yulong, the thirteen and fourteen-year-old boys of the Zhao family, occasionally had childish innocence on weekdays. But Jiang Ruan didn't have a trace of childishness on her body, she looked gentle on the surface, but she carried a kind of indifference. Only those who have experienced the cruelty on the bloody battlefield can have such hostility. He sighed in his heart, Su couldn't see clearly, but he knew a lot of people. After the initial shock, he could see that from the beginning to the end, Jiang Ruan didn't have the slightest excitement to recognize his relatives. Her heart is as firm as a rock. I am afraid that every word she said to the Zhao family today is a thoughtful answer, and every sentence has a special meaning.

She was plotting against the entire Zhao family, but the method she used was neither conspiracy nor coercion, it was as subtle as moistening things, so that people had to agree to her request. Even if it is calculated, it is willing.

Jiang Ruan is so precocious, and the life she lived in the Jiang family for many years must be ten thousand times more dangerous than what she described. After all, she is a descendant of the Zhao family. Thinking of the dead Zhao Mei, how could he be indifferent? Thinking of this, Zhao Guang didn't want to ask any more about the porridge and Chongxin Village. He said, "Your grandmother should have already cooked the meals. Cough, let's go out together." After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked slowly out. I don't know if Zhao Mei's incident had hit him too hard, but that tall and burly figure looked a little old.

Zhao Yuanjia and the others also walked out of the study room. When Jiang Ruan was about to go out, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Zhao Yuanping stopped her and said with a smile, "What do you want to do?" A pair of eyes looked at him inquiringly.

"Jiang Ruan doesn't understand what the second uncle said."

"Why the Li family participated is not the reason you said. Jiang Xinzhi will definitely be ambushed. You are so sure that there must be other reasons. If Dad doesn't ask, it doesn't mean I won't ask." Zhao Yuanping's face gradually became serious "Jiang Ruan, even if you are Mei'er's daughter, I have to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

Jiang Ruan looked at him quietly. Three generations of the Zhao family were all military generals. Zhao Yuanping was extremely intelligent in his life. Unfortunately, the Zhao family did not follow the path of Congwen, so Zhao Yuanping could not come back with a champion to glorify the Zhao family. Reading the Art of War, as a military strategist with ingenious calculations, there is one thing that is also very good, that is, to control people's hearts. On the battlefield, guessing the enemy's mind can help the army win a battle better. Zhao Yuanping is now wary of her. However, she never thought of hiding from Zhao Yuanping.

She said: "Second uncle, why should you be so nervous? Anyway, I won't harm the Zhao family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given porridge, and I wouldn't have saved my eldest cousin's life. Second uncle doubts me so much. What I have done is up to now. , is there any disadvantage to the Jiang family?" Seeing Zhao Yuanping's expression was still, she smiled lightly and said: "Besides, if I can save my elder brother, I will definitely catch a group of assassins, follow the vine, and the caught people will bite out of the Li family. , It is also beneficial to the General's Mansion. The Li family and the Zhao family have always been at odds in court, and the second uncle is not unaware that if something happens to the Li family, the Eighth Prince's power will be damaged. Isn't it the scene that the General's Mansion is most happy to see? "

Zhao Yuanping suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and frowned. Jiang Ruan actually disclosed these privacy in broad daylight without reservation, and every sentence hit his mind. For a while, Zhao Yuanping had nothing to say.

Jiang Ruan said: "Second Uncle, don't worry, I will not harm the Zhao family. The Jiang family has a sworn feud with me. Even if it is to add trouble to the Jiang family, I will try my best to help the Zhao family." After finishing speaking, gently He bowed to Zhao Yuan and left.

Zhao Yuanping thought for a moment behind her, then smiled softly, restored his previous expression, and walked towards the hall.

...

Zhao's mansion is full of joy and warmth, while other places in central Beijing are gloomy like a sudden storm.

In Yanhua Garden of Jiang Mansion, Xia Yan grabbed Lin Lang and said, "Did you hear clearly? Master Sun really said that?"

Lin Lang nodded: "Yes, ma'am, the young master has really become a lieutenant general and will arrive in Beijing in five days. What should we do now?"

Xia Yan's grip on the teacup tightened, and he threw the teacup on the ground with a snap. The fine pastel-painted beauty King Butterfly porcelain cup suddenly fell apart, and Lin Lang stood aside, not daring to vent his anger. She looked at Xia Yan with some trepidation.

Xia Yan gritted her teeth and said: "That little bastard still has such a chance, why wasn't he shot to death on the battlefield!" Right now, she has a headache all day long about how to prevent Jiang Susu from going to the family temple. Jiang Susu couldn't sleep well after Huijue left that day. At night, she always said that someone knocked on the door, but when she went to open the door, she found that there was nothing. Write a letter to ask Huijue to come, but Huijue only said that the evil spirit is too strong, and it is best to send Jiang Susu to the family temple as soon as possible to get rid of the bad luck. Xia Yan, who is straightforward, wants to tear Huijue's mouth.

When she was in such a state of desperation, she suddenly heard that Jiang Xinzhi had become a lieutenant general, and that Chunfeng Deyi was about to return to Beijing, which made her not angry. However, along with the deep jealousy, there is also worry.

Jiang Chao's failure in the imperial examination made Jiang Quan a little disappointed. If Jiang Xinzhi came back at this time and made another military exploit, it is hard to guarantee that Jiang Quan would not have other thoughts. Even if Jiang Quan did not like Jiang Xinzhi, Jiang Chao's position would not be shaken, but Jiang Chao could not enter the court, so he could not contact people in the officialdom. Jiang Chao is also a disadvantage.

People in the Great Jin Dynasty mentioned the son of the Jiang family, as long as they knew one Jiang Chao, Jiang Xinzhi was superfluous. Her Chao'er must not leave any stain, and her status cannot be shaken by anyone. Xia Yan clenched her fists tightly, and the expression on her beautiful face was extremely ferocious, like a man-eating ghost: "Jiang Xinzhi can't stay!"

"Ma'am, what do you mean?" Lin Lang has followed Xia Yan for many years, so she can more or less guess what Xia Yan is thinking.

"As soon as that little bastard comes back, what will my Chao'er do? People in the world love to compare and will only use Jiang Xinzhi's success to laugh at Chao'er's failure. How can I let that happen!" Xia Yan gritted his teeth. . Jiang Chao's temperament has become very weird since he was cut off by the people of Baihualou after losing the first place. He is no longer as bright as before. He has a kind of gloomy and gloomy personality, which makes people feel a little scared when he looks at it.

"Madam is planning to do something after the young master returns home?" Lin Lang asked.

"After returning to the mansion?" Xia Yan sneered: "The little bitch is so cunning, her brother will not be far behind. How can I let him have a chance to enter the mansion? If I want him, I can't even enter the gate of the capital. !"

Lin Lang was surprised and said, "Does Madam want to be on the way... But the Eldest Young Master has been following the army, Madam is too risky to do so, besides, it may not be successful."

"So what if you are in the army? You just need to use your brain." Xia Yan said impatiently, "Isn't Jiang Xinzhi the most fond of this younger sister? Use his younger sister as bait. I don't believe he won't obediently fall for it." At the beginning, Jiang Xinzhi The reason why he left Jiang's mansion to join the military camp was just for Jiang Ruan, but he didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity.
