Chapter 53 53. The Nunnery

"Master Hou, ma'am," Zhou took a deep breath and bowed to the two of them, "Please make the decision for Rou'er."

Zhou raised her head, her eyes were reddish, a tear rolled down her face, and her eyes were full of sadness and pain.A beautiful woman weeping is naturally pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Xu's heart softened, and he quickly comforted in a soft voice: "Don't worry, I will give Sister Rou justice."

"Thank you, Lord Hou." After expressing his thanks, Mrs. Zhou tactfully went to watch quietly.She knew that if she wanted to see a good deal, she would accept it, and if she made too much noise, she would only make people disgusted for nothing.Moreover, Jiang Xu has always been clear about black and white in such matters, and will not let Jiang Shurou suffer such things for nothing.

It's just... Zhou Shi lowered her eyes quietly, concealing the flash of unwillingness in her eyes.Not to mention that the Zhao family has a concubine's eldest son, just because of Jiang Shujing's reputation and the reputation of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Zhao's punishment will not be too great.

"Mr. Zhao, where did you get that medicine?" Mrs. Chen didn't ask her if she knew it contained 'Shu Yan', nor did she ask if she did it on purpose, but directly asked how she got it. Zhao Shi was caught off guard.

Zhao's prepared defense got stuck in his mouth in an instant.But in the end it was a deliberate sophistry, Zhao quickly realized, wiping away tears pretendingly: "The poor concubine didn't know that it was 'Shu Yan', if she knew, she would definitely not let sister Jing give it to sister Rou. The poor concubine is wronged."

"Why, madam called you wrong before she convicted you? Are you blaming madam for not distinguishing between right and wrong?" Jiang Xu said calmly from the side.

Zhao's heart was startled, and she quickly explained: "I don't dare to be a poor concubine. I'm just afraid that the Marquis and his wife will misunderstand. After all..." Zhao's voice was choked just right: "After all, the poor concubine's whole heart is in trouble. Brother and sister Jing only hope that their daughter will have a good marriage, and absolutely dare not think about anything else."

"So..." Mrs. Chen was not distracted by her: "Where did you get that medicine from?"

This kind of medicine is not something you can just grab from a pharmacy.

"I..." Chen was at a loss for words for a moment.In fact, it was a mistake in her mind, and the man repeatedly promised her that she would not be found out, so she was fascinated for a while and did such a thing.But as the days passed steadily and steadily, she was more joyful than frightened.She even thought that if she was found out, it would be worthwhile for Jiang Shurou to be infertile for the rest of her life.

However, how fearless I was when I thought about it at the time, is how scared I am now.Facing Jiang Xu's frowning stare at her, Mrs. Zhao was startled and lowered her head.

She had never thought of an excuse before, and she also knew that no one would believe it if she said it was bought from a pharmacy.So, after thinking over and over again quickly, Zhao's heart broke: "The poor concubine bought it from a vendor. It is the poor concubine who is too careless. She only thinks that she has seen too many traditional Chinese medicines, so she dares to identify it by herself. It is the poor concubine." The concubine is negligent, the poor concubine deserves to die."

"What are the characteristics of that street vendor?" Hearing Jiang Xu's question, Zhao's eyes lit up, thinking that he might be cleansed: "At that time, the poor concubine didn't notice anything wrong, she just thought it was an ordinary businessman. Now that I think about it, That vendor's crappy accent and strange attire should undoubtedly be from the Li country." Zhao was eager to get rid of the crime, and couldn't care about anything for a while.

"Really?" Mrs. Chen smiled slightly, and when Mrs. Zhao saw hope, she asked softly, "I only said that the flower was called 'Shu Yan', not to mention that the flower is very rare. It is very rare in Dayu. It's rare, just saying, I didn't mention it was born in Li country, how do you, a boudoir girl, know?"

Chen's tone was even gentle, but it was so loud that it hit Zhao's heart hard.Zhao Shi fell into an ice cellar for a moment.

She wanted to make an excuse, but she couldn't think of an excuse anyway, so she could only stand there anxiously.

There was only one thought in her mind, and that was, it was over, it was all over.

"Oh, by the way," Mrs. Chen kindly reminded: "Sister Rou hasn't been wearing a sachet for a long time. Fortunately, she was discovered early. The doctor said that she is only slightly cold at the moment. It's all right."

In fact, Jiang Shurou's situation is indeed not too serious, but it is far from being as easy as it is said.Chen said this on purpose, just to stimulate her.

Sure enough, knowing that Jiang Shurou might not have suffered any losses, Mrs. Zhao raised her head in an instant, stared straight at Mrs. Chen, her eyes were red: "Impossible, how could that bitch be fine? I put a double dose of 'Shuyan' ',I do not believe."

Seeing that she was faintly about to go crazy, Jiang Xu waved his hand, and instantly a guard stepped forward to hold her down.Zhao tried to struggle, but couldn't break free.

The excitement faded away, and Mrs. Zhao felt scared belatedly.She moved towards Jiang Xu with difficulty: "Master Hou, the poor concubine was just confused for a moment, please give the poor concubine another chance. Please forgive the poor concubine for the sake of Brother Huan and Sister Jing. "

"I'm curious, why are you only targeting Sister Rou?" Zhao's eyes rolled and he stopped talking.

"Let me guess, it's because Sister Hui has no biological mother, so it's not worth your while?" Seeing a momentary guilty conscience on Zhao's face, Jiang Xu's expression became colder: "Sister Rou, and Sister Jing The children are similar in age, but also have a bright appearance, which is why you are jealous?"

Jiang Shujing is naturally good-looking, and the girls in the Xuanping Hou Mansion all have their own merits.It's just... She used to not allow others to surpass her, but now she even couldn't allow others to be no worse than her daughter.

"Then what about the next one, isn't it Yoyo?"

What Jiang Xu said was exactly what Mrs. Chen cared about.Even if the Zhao family dared to do such a thing, sooner or later they would come to Yoyo's place.Now, it may be because you are young, and you haven't found an opportunity yet.

With Zhao's increasingly guilty expression, Jiang Xu was disappointed for a while.Why did he like Zhao Shi back then?

The memory of the past has been a long time, Jiang Xu vaguely remembered, oh, what I liked before was her competitive nature.

At that time, she was often jealous because he doted on others.And, for example, if today he praises someone else's piano sound, she will play him the flute for him; if he rewards someone with a piece of silk, she will try to get him to reward her with two pieces.

At that time, he was still in the mood, he just thought she was so cute and tight, so he also indulged in it.Later, he became impatient, and Mrs. Zhao gradually restrained herself.

Looking at the almost unrecognizable person nowadays, Jiang Xu felt a little strange.Unexpectedly, she only restrained herself on the surface, and her temper became more and more intense.

Well, there is no cure.

Jiang Xu waved his hand: "Take her down, and you must interrogate where she got the flowers from."

On the same day, Jiang Shujing, who was waiting for the results at night, got the news that Aunt Zhao would "voluntarily" go to the nunnery to pray for blessings.
