Lin Jiayue's crazy look really didn't look like she was pretending, so the queen watched coldly and had Jiang Xingjian summoned.
Jiang Man was so angry that he almost broke his teeth with hatred.
She had previously thought that Lin Jiayue really had some kind of talent. Not only could she make ice out of thin air in summer, but she also had a firearm in her hand. I thought he was really an expert from a hidden clan, but I didn't expect him to be a stupid idiot.
From being the legitimate daughter of the Marquis to being a concubine in the palace, Jiang Man knew a lot of people, but even so, he had never seen anyone from a lowly background who dared to talk nonsense to the imperial concubine.
In the name of having firearms in his hands, he shamelessly coaxed the prince of the Hou family to become his concubine. He used poisonous lead powder and promised her that no matter how much money he had, he could earn her...
How dare she?
How dare she!
Jiang Man put his hands on his knees and held them tightly.
Not long after, Jiang Xingjian was brought in. As soon as Lin Jiayue saw him, she cried and called Xingjian's brother. When Concubine Yun heard this, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed.
Jiang Xingjian frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"Brother Xingjian, I'm sorry, Yue'er got you into trouble."
She looked sick and haggard, and now her eyes were bloodshot from crying, looking very pitiful.
"Brother Xingjian, you are afraid that I will be sad and you would rather neglect your wife and treat me sincerely, but I always get you into trouble. Yue'er has let you down, Yue'er deserves to die."
"Queen, it's all my fault. I did everything. You must not blame Brother Jian for the crime."
"He is innocent. His only fault is that he loves me too much."
Song Wan stood aside, his face turning red as he listened to these words.
I was really ashamed for Lin Jiayue, and also ashamed for myself.
It was really inappropriate for a good girl to say such words in public, but after feeling uncomfortable for a while, she glanced at her deeply again.
Lin Jiayue is smart. At this time, only by tightly tying herself to Jiang Xingjian can she avoid being abandoned.
This affectionate expression made Jiang Xingjian's scalp numb.
Seeing Lin Jiayue crying with blood-red eyes, Jiang Xingjian suppressed his anger and protected her.
She acted as if the two of them were loyal and committed to the same thing today. How could he back down in the face of the battle and push her out to appease the queen's anger?
How does the world view him?
The veins on Jiang Xingjian's forehead twitched, and he covered Lin Jiayue behind him in a protective posture.
"I wonder why the Queen summoned the ministers here?"
The queen waved her hand, and the female official in the palace told her again about Huanyanzhai selling lead powder.
Jiang Xingjian said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Jiayue is a woman in the inner house and can't leave the outer courtyard at all. How do you know that the lead powder is poisonous? Although she helps to take care of one or two shops in the house, everything in the shop is handled by the shopkeeper. In fact, it is the same Jiayue has nothing to do with it."
"It's my concubine's poor discipline that allowed others to take advantage of her."
Jiang Man said quietly, she couldn't control what happened to Lin Jiayue, but nothing could happen to Jiang Xingjian, and she and the Hou family could not be charged with poisoning the concubine.
"Concubine Jiang wants to escape the reputation of harming the concubine just because she doesn't discipline her well?"
"Concubine Rong's words are wrong. This gouache from Huanyanzhai was not sent to the palace by me. On the contrary, Concubine Yun was possessed by some unknown evil that day and bit the Hou Mansion and refused to let go. However, Concubine Yun knew that this gouache had some Question, why did I ask you to give it to other empresses?"
Song Yuning laughed when she heard this: "What Concubine Jiang said is really interesting. Her own shop sells poisonous things, but she actually blames the buyers."
"If Concubine Jiang hadn't been so greedy that she reorganized the items for prostitutes and actresses and then sold them on the market for a hundred times or a thousand times the original price, I wouldn't have noticed this little rouge shop."
"Speaking of which..."
Song Yuning blinked: "Concubine Jiang's shop has made a lot of money, right? I wonder what a concubine would do with so much money?"
The queen glanced at Jiang Man lightly, and Jiang Man looked slightly cold: "Why does Concubine Yun have to be so weird? The queen is still here. Whether it is the Hou Mansion that was framed or someone with ulterior motives plotted against me, the queen can decide for herself. "
"How could Concubine Jiang, the most intelligent person, be framed and plotted against? If the fifth prince, Xiao Mu, is really as self-effacing as Concubine Jiang, how could he be as sensitive, eager to learn, smart and wise as he is now?"
A few days ago, the fifth prince was punished by the Holy Emperor for laziness in his homework, and today Song Yuning came to poke her lungs.
Jiang Man's face was so gloomy that he was about to fight back when the eunuch outside sent a message saying that the Holy Spirit had arrived.
When Emperor Wen Hui entered, everyone stood up to pay their respects. After a shout of silence, the room fell silent.
"What's going on? Such a big fight?"
Song Wan lowered his eyes slightly and did not look at Emperor Wen Hui. Instead, Lin Jiayue's eyes moved around curiously.
The female official reported the cause and effect one by one. After hearing this, Emperor Wen Hui said: "Has the gouache been sent to the palace?"
"Because in the palace..."
Before the queen could finish her words, she was interrupted by Emperor Wen Hui: "That means there is no more? Why are you mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this?"
The queen had a gloomy face, but Song Wan saw a hint of sarcasm in Jiang Man's eyes, while her aunt looked indifferent, and the concubines looked as if they were not surprised.
Strangely, Jiang Man acted in a flamboyant manner and was originally the exclusive favor of the emperor.
"The Marquis of Chengyang is right. This Lin is just a housewife, how can she be so capable? I'm afraid it's the shop owner who did it."
"This kind of villain who deceives his superiors and conceals his actions from his subordinates should indeed be punished."
"Come here, give the shopkeeper of the rouge shop eighty-year-old punishment, collect the goods and return the money to the people, and he will no longer be allowed to do business for three generations..."
In just a few words, Emperor Wen Hui determined the matter.
Song Wan stood aside, his heart sinking slightly.
She, her aunt, and the queen were gently picking up the writings they had written and erasing them one by one.
"It's simply ridiculous that this trivial matter could lead to a three-chamber trial."
Emperor Wen Hui stood up to leave, and the queen said with a gloomy face: "This poisonous rouge has nothing to do with the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, but it is a fact that the Chengyang Marquis spoiled his concubine and killed his wife."
"Since it is the queen's punishment, is it possible that you can't handle this little thing well?"
"It's all gone."
Emperor Wen Hui strode away, and the queen's face turned green and white and looked very ugly.
Ever since the eldest prince was revealed to have bad personal ethics, she could no longer stand upright in front of Emperor Wen Hui. After scolding Jiang Xingjian for a few words, the queen also left angrily.
Everyone dispersed one by one, Lin Jiayue knelt aside and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Xingjian, are we okay?"
There was a concubine in that lower position who had not yet left the room. Seeing her acting like this, she sneered and looked down upon her with disdain.
Lin Jiayue just pretended not to see him and hid timidly behind Jiang Xingjian, unable to get away.
Song Wan stood aside with a calm expression, neither anxious nor impatient.
Although they can't do anything to Jiang Man, after today, everyone in the world will know that Jiang Xingjian has a deep relationship with his aunt in the mansion, and he did not hesitate to risk his life for her.
In the past, chaos occurred frequently in the Hou Mansion, and in the later period, Jiang Xingjian doted on his concubines and killed his wife. Anyone with eyes would know that the Hou Mansion from top to bottom is full of idiots with dregs of minds.
Looking at Lin Jiayue who was becoming more and more delicate and charming, Song Wan secretly thought that today's encounter was not in vain.
