My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 115 Mutation
"You think you can scare me like this?" Concubine Xiao's eyes flashed slightly and she said coldly.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her with pity, "After all these years, do you think that the princess doesn't want me to die? She wants me to die more than all of you. But she doesn't dare! Because she can't bear the prince's anger. Concubine Xiao is so willing today. When the prince blames you for the swords and guns in other people's hands, don't cry out for injustice."

Concubine Xiao's face alternated between green and red, like a palette.

"So what? It's a serious crime for you to steal something given by the emperor. I am kind-hearted and will spare your life."

Concubine Xiao looked a little fierce and felt bad inside, and shouted: "Come here, take down this thief and give me fifty... No! Give me twenty as a warning to others."

Mrs. Jiang suddenly chuckled, "Concubine Xiao, you will definitely feel lucky for this in the future."

Seeing Mrs. Jiang's fearless appearance, Concubine Xiao bit her teeth in hatred, but she was not a fool. Naturally, she did not want to serve as a spearman for Princess Yong, so she could only order someone to beat Mrs. Jiang because she was angry.

Everyone who can get close to the master is a good person. Seeing that Xiao Concubine's attitude towards Jiang has changed, he didn't dare to be too harsh when he struck. He only gave her twenty symbolic blows and ended the matter hastily. .

Mrs. Jiang remained silent throughout the whole process. After the beating, she got down to the ground and limped back to the house with a white face. This physical pain was nothing to her.

Concubine Xiao felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Mrs. Jiang like this. She was suddenly a little lucky that she had not made a fatal move.

In the end, Concubine Xiao left the west courtyard in a dazed manner, completely different from the aggressive one when she came.

"Trash, don't even give her a chance."

Qiu Shui was in the middle, and Princess Yong smashed another porcelain vase angrily.

"Princess, send Buddha to the west. This is a rare opportunity. Once you have done this, you cannot turn back, let alone give up halfway. Isn't Mrs. Jiang injured? You might as well have someone give her some good medicine..."

Grandma Ming has something to say.

Princess Yong hesitated again and again, and said harshly: "This matter can be arranged by grandma, but the person delivering the medicine cannot have anything to do with us."

"Don't worry, Princess. There are some hidden piles that should be abandoned, and they will never affect our Qiushui Residence."

Grandma Ming took the order and left with the determination to sink the boat.

Princess Yong sat distractedly on the soft couch, her carefully decorated face shrouded in shadow, making it obscure.

At this time, Xingyun in the east courtyard was in the middle. When the Crown Princess Cui heard that Jiang was beaten, she was so shocked that she stood up and left.

"Master, you can't go." Qing Dai, the confidant at her side, stopped her. "The old Duke asked you to secretly protect the safety of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Chen. If you act too much, you may attract suspicion."

Ms. Cui paused for a moment and couldn't hide her worry: "What about Mr. Jiang? Is the beating serious? Has a doctor been arranged in the house?"

The maid replied: "Master, don't worry. I have inquired about it. Concubine Xiao's people only punished her slightly and did not use severe measures. When I went back just now, I found that someone in the house had arranged for a doctor to diagnose and treat Mr. Jiang. Yes, the doctor also said that Mrs. Jiang only suffered some minor flesh injuries, nothing serious, and she will be cured after a few days of medicine."

"That's good..." Mrs. Cui breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "It's better to send two more people to keep an eye on Jiang's situation at all times, and report anything to me in time."

"This slave knows, go and make arrangements now!" After hearing this, the maid hurriedly left.

At night, Prince Yong stayed in the place where he loved his concubine. Mrs. Cui lay on the huge bed and could not sleep, always feeling uneasy.

"Master, it's not good, Mrs. Jiang suddenly had a high fever and passed away from convulsions."

Suddenly there was a violent knock on the door, and Qingdai's anxious voice sounded like thunder in Cui's ears.

She hurriedly put on a coat, grabbed her shoes and came to the outhouse.

Qing Dai had a frightened expression on his face, "Master, Jiang's situation doesn't look good. I'm afraid you have to make preparations early."

Mrs. Cui felt her eyes go black, her body swayed, and she fell down on her chair, "How could it be like this? Wasn't it fine during the day? Why didn't it suddenly stop working?"

"My slave guesses that there may be something wrong with the medicine given by the doctor at the back. Now that the prince has gone there in person, it is useless for you to come forward. It is better to think about what to do next."

Mrs. Cui calmed down instantly, "You immediately call the doorman with my warrant and say that I suddenly have unbearable abdominal pain and you have to leave the house to find a doctor. There is a mess in the west courtyard right now, and everyone's eyes are on it. Mrs. Jiang, hold on, no one will notice the movement in our courtyard, you just take the opportunity to leave the house."

"After you leave the house, you go directly to the people left behind by your grandfather and tell them to leave the city immediately to find Mr. Chen. You must stop him so that he does not want to return to Jiangdong. You can run as far as you can. And let grandfather's I must protect Young Master Chen’s safety all the way, and send him to the capital at all costs.”

Mrs. Cui ordered in an orderly manner, feeling intuitively that the weather in Jiangdong was about to change.

"Okay, the servant will go now."

"Wait a minute..." Mrs. Cui stopped Qingdai, who was about to go out, and solemnly confessed, "If Mrs. Jiang passes away unfortunately, ask your grandfather's people to tell Mr. Chen that Qingshan is still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. His mother I will come forward to persuade the prince to deal with his affairs decently, and I, the Crown Princess, will temporarily perform filial piety on his behalf during the annual and festival celebrations... In short, we must dissuade Mr. Chen from returning to Jiangdong. If he comes back, he will only die. "

Qingdai followed the order and quickly left the house. The concierge saw the warrant and did not stop her. She drove the carriage and ran away.
