After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 42 Drowning
The wedding date was fixed, and Mrs. Qi immediately sent someone to send the news to the Jiang family.

At this time, Mrs. Jiang was chatting with Mrs. Li, and she was overjoyed when she heard the news, "It's finally settled. After Brother Liang and the princess get married at the end of the year, I can free up my hands to deal with A Tan's marriage."

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, "That's right, the Qi family doesn't have anyone in charge, so sister-in-law has to come forward."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help sighing, seeing that the wedding date of Qi Tanying and Yan Li was fixed, and the brat in her family didn't even have a girl to look at.What a worry!
Mrs. Jiang saw that Mrs. Li had a sad face, and after asking the reason, she realized that she was worried about Jiang Zhenyu's life.

Can't help laughing, "Brother Zhen is only 17 after the new year, why are you so anxious."

Mrs. Li shook her head, "Sister-in-law, if brother Zhen is half as successful as his elder brother, I wouldn't worry about it. He can't study well, he only knows how to eat, drink and play. How can a girl from a good family like her."

These words are to the point, Mrs. Jiang thinks that Mrs. Li has a better understanding.It just so happened that she was in a good mood today, so she thought of being a matchmaker for Jiang Zhenyu.

"Then tell me, what kind of wife do you want to marry for Brother Zhen?"

Mrs. Li thought for a while, "It's best to be gentle, knowledgeable, and virtuous to run a family. There are not many requirements for family background, as long as it is not a merchant family."

Mrs. Jiang sounded a little strange, "Why, don't you look down on merchants?"

"How can it be." Li smiled wryly, "It's not that I look down on girls from merchants. Brother Zhen was ridiculed because I was a merchant's mother since I was a child. How can there be another wife from a merchant."

Besides, brothers of the same mother, the eldest brother married the princess, and the younger brother could only marry a merchant. Parents always feel distressed.

Only then did Mrs. Jiang understand, no wonder she planned to give her niece Atan to Brother Zhen, and Li Shi immediately agreed. It turned out that there was another reason.

Thinking of this, she said to Li Shi: "Don't worry, I will take care of it for you."

Mrs. Li was very happy when she heard the words, it was much better to have Mrs. Jiang as a sister-in-law than to search by herself.

After returning to the third room, she couldn't help but tell Master Jiang San the news, and Master Jiang San was also very happy. In his opinion, sister-in-law is much more prudent than Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li thought about Qi Tanying getting married, she was considered half of her natal family, so she had to prepare some make-up gifts anyway.She searched around in her small warehouse and found that those things were not suitable for young girls, so she planned to go to Lingyun Pavilion to pick out some fashionable jewelry.

And also called Jiang Zhenyu to accompany him, Jiang Zhenyu knew that Qi Tanying and Yan Li's marriage date had been fixed.

For a while, he actually hated Qi Tanying a little bit, he had already made it so clear that Yan Li was not a good person, but Cousin Qi was engaged to him anyway, and now even the date of marriage was fixed.

I don't know if Cousin Kun will blame him for not helping him take good care of his sister when he comes back from the academy.

Seeing her son distracted, Mrs. Li sighed secretly in her heart.

Changxing Palace
Princess Qingyang learned that Qi Tanying's wedding date had been fixed, and her heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell into her stomach.Ever since the Qi family came to the capital, she has not had a day of peace of mind. Now that she is well, the cousin girl of the Qi family is getting married, and she will never compete with her for Jiang Liangyu in the future.

After letting go of her worries, Princess Qingyang is in good spirits.A few days ago, Lingyun Pavilion released a new batch of jewelry. Ji Sanniang, a close friend of her boudoir, asked her to go and pick them out. She was in a good mood today, so she accepted her friend's invitation.

Unexpectedly, after she came to Lingyun Pavilion, she waited for almost half an hour and there was no sign of Ji Sanniang. Just as she was about to send someone to the Ji Mansion to inquire, Ji Sanniang's personal maid, Rong Yue, hurried over.

"Princess, Princess Ling has gone. My girl went to Minshan Palace to take care of Princess Ji. She sent a servant to bring you a letter, please return to the mansion immediately and don't stay outside."

Princess Qingyang thought she had heard it wrong, Rongyue repeated it when she saw this, and Princess Qingyang was completely stunned, as if she had lost her voice.

After a while, he said: "Why is this happening? Isn't Ah Ling staying in the other courtyard well?"

Last year, Princess Ling had been convalescing in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing because of a serious illness. Concubine Ji was worried, so she went to see her every now and then.

A few days ago, she only heard from Ji Sanniang that Princess Ling's body had recovered, and she would be taken back to Minshan Prince's Mansion in half a decade.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking: "Why did Ah Ling go, was it an emergency or an accident?"

Rongyue shook her head, she was just a servant and didn't know much.

Seeing that she couldn't find anything to ask, Princess Qingyang told her to go back and return her life.

After Rongyue left, Princess Qingyang realized that her heart was beating violently, not only her legs were weak, but her palms were even wet.

Princess Qingyang hurried back to the mansion, met Princess Changxing at the door who was going to Minshan Palace, and planned to go with her mother.When they arrived at Minshan Prince's Mansion, the palace had already removed the colorful objects and replaced it with plain white banners, and everyone in the mansion looked mournful.

Princess Ji has been in a coma since she learned of her daughter's death, and Mrs. Ji and Ji Sanniang are looking after her at the bedside.

After seeing Princess Changxing's mother and daughter, Mrs. Ji wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Ah Ling left suddenly, the princess was sent by a white-haired man to a black-haired man, and she couldn't bear the blow and passed out. She is still awake."

Princess Changxing's voice was a little dry, "How did Ah Ling get there?"

Mrs. Ji shook her head, "Sanniang and I just got the news that brother Hua has already gone to another hospital to pick her up. We won't find out until he comes back."

Brother Hua is Jiao Hua, the son of King Minshan.

Princess Changxing didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and just waited for Jiao Hua to return with Princess Ling's body.

About half an hour later, Jiao Hua came back, along with Jiao Yu and Jiao Zhan, the two sons of King Minshan.The faces of the three brothers were full of grief and grief.

The body of Princess Ling was parked in the yard where she lived, covered with a white cloth.Perhaps because she knew that her daughter was back, Princess Ji woke up leisurely, holding back her grief to see her for the last time.

Jiao Hua couldn't bear to let his mother see his younger sister's miserable condition, so he repeatedly tried to persuade her, but Princess Ji would not listen, she rushed forward and personally lifted the white cloth covering Princess Ling's body.

The moment the white cloth was lifted off, Princess Ji's eyes stared straight, and all blood disappeared from her face. She let out a stern cry and passed out again.

Princess Qingyang was shocked by her cry, and couldn't help looking at Princess Ling's body, which made her gasp involuntarily.

The body was swollen like a steamed bun, the complexion was pale, the eyebrows were distorted, and the waist and abdomen were swollen and bulging.

Except for Princess Ji who passed out and Brother Jiao Hua, the others were terrified when they saw Princess Ling's tragic state.Mrs. Ji's legs were weak, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Why does Ah Ling look like this?"

Jiao Hua suppressed her grief and revealed the cause of death: "Ah Ling had drowned in the lotus pond when he was found."

"What about the servants?"

Jiao Hua said: "I asked, and they said that Ah Ling woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to see the lotus, but she didn't want anyone to accompany her. No one knew how she drowned. By the time she found her body, it had been a day and a night. "
