About half an hour later, Bingyu said a few words to the guards at the door, then came back and told Zuo Xiangning, "The Marquis has returned home safely."

"Are the people guarding outside the Hou Mansion still there?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

Bingyu shook his head, "The people who followed didn't dare to step forward."

Zuo Xiangning nodded and told Bingyu to go to bed quickly.

The next day, Jiang asked people to invite Zuo Xiangning and wanted to take her to the jewelry shop.

"Let's order two sets of jewelry for your eldest brother to wear when he gets married. I also need to pick out a set of gold-headed noodle sets for your sister-in-law. I also have a set of ruby ​​phoenix hairpins. These two can be used as wedding gifts for your sister-in-law. They should still work. Can you take it?"

"Don't you still have a purple jade bracelet? You can add that too." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"That's for your third brother's wife." Jiang said in a low voice, "I can't favor one and make anyone feel resentful."

"Otherwise, I'd better leave the set of pearls and hairdressing you gave me to my third sister-in-law." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "I have so many jewelry that I can't even wear them."

"How can there be any reason to bring back the things I gave you?" Jiang stood up with a smile, "Let's go to the jewelry store and have a look. If there are good ones, we'll buy two more sets. I'll give you some blood today, and you two will. Buy a set and be impartial.”

Zuo Xiangning was afraid that Jiang would hear the rumors outside, so she found an excuse to stop Jiang, "It's a bit cloudy outside today. Don't let it rain again. Let's go another day."

Jiang saw that it was indeed a bit cloudy outside and said, "Then let's go tomorrow."

As soon as Zuo Xiangning stood up and wanted to go back to Xianglanzhai, she saw Zixia walking in from outside, "Madam, Princess Liang is here and said she has something important to see you."

Jiang frowned secretly and said, "Let her come in."

When Zuo Xiangning heard that Zuo Xiangyu was coming, she sat back on the chair.

Zuo Xiangyu is a night owl who comes to the house no matter what, and nothing good is bound to happen when she comes.

Jiang's thoughts were the same as Zuo Xiangning's, and she whispered: "Why is she here?"

"Maybe something really happened." Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Xiangyu who walked in from the door.

Zuo Xiangyu was wearing a purple-red trousers and a head full of pearls and emeralds. She was supported by two girls, followed by two women and two girls, walking towards them in a very stylish manner.

Zuo Xiangning looked at her stiffening and straightening her neck, and really wondered if she was wearing too many jewelry on her head, which was so heavy that she didn't dare to move her head.

She stood up, saluted Zuo Xiangyu, and said with a smile, "Third sister is back."

Zuo Xiangyu glanced at Zuo Xiangning, didn't even return a half salute, and sat down on the chair next to Jiang.

"Xiang Ning is here too." Zuo Xiangyu said something perfunctory to Zuo Xiangning, and then looked at Jiang seriously, her words were concerned, but her face was full of curiosity, "Is Madam's health okay? "Jiang looked at Zuo Xiangyu, and she didn't like her.

She held the tea cup and pretended to drink tea. After a long time, she said: "It's the blessing of Princess Tuoliang."

"That's good." Zuo Xiangyu patted her chest with her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I heard our prince come back last night and it made me worried. Now it seems that you and the fourth sister are doing well. , I feel really relieved.”

Jiang secretly glanced at the pretentious Zuo Xiangyu, frowned and asked, "I wonder what shocking words your prince is talking about? He can actually scare the well-informed Princess Liang."

Zuo Xiangning guessed that Zuo Xiangyu was here for her. She smiled and said: "If there is nothing wrong with Third Sister, then stay at home for a while and have lunch before going back. My mother and I have something urgent." , If you want to go out, you won’t spend more time with Third Sister.”

"What does the fourth sister mean?" Zuo Xiangyu's smile did not diminish, and she sneered, "I haven't even finished the cup of tea, and the fourth sister is starting to prepare to drive people out, right? This is the Zuo Mansion, and it's me. My natal family, I think the fourth sister, a concubine, shouldn’t have the right to expel me, right?”

"What is the third sister saying? When the third sister comes back, it's too late for my sister to be happy. How could she chase her out? My sister doesn't dare to wear this big hat." Zuo Xiangning said sarcastically without mercy: "That's it. The third sister is very majestic now. After becoming Princess Liang, when she returned to her parents' home, she would not even be polite to her aunt. My sister must remind the third sister that the most important thing in the Jin and Southern Dynasties is 'filial piety'. It is best for the third sister to behave Don’t go too far.”

"Zuo Xiangning, how can you say such heartless things? I didn't sleep well all night because I was worried that you would not be able to think straight and do something stupid. You arrived, but Lu Dongbin was bitten by a dog and did not recognize a kind person!" Zuo Xiangyu Liu Mei pointed upside down at Zuo Xiangning.

Mrs. Jiang frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Princess Liang is so majestic! Even the empress would not scold the concubine's young daughter in front of me so vehemently. I wonder how she provoked Princess Liang?"

"She has completely ruined the reputation of this princess!" Zuo Xiangyu said angrily: "Whose girl in the entire capital has been engaged and broken off again and again? The engagement with Gu Zhiqing was granted by the emperor. Before it was canceled, she actually She got involved with Marquis Jingyuan, and now it’s good. Marquis Jingyuan killed Gu Zhiqing directly because of her! Madam, do you know what this is called? This is called running around, doing everything, and murdering your husband! Let’s go out from Zuofu With such a girl, how can I, the princess, or the queen stand in front of the world? I’m afraid even my wife would be ashamed to see people when she goes out, right?"

"Princess Liang, does she know what it means to seize the stolen goods from a thief, to catch an adulterer and a couple? You are such a red-mouthed and white-fanged talker, and you shouldn't be like this even to people who have nothing to do with you outside, right?" Zuo Xiangning snorted coldly and said nothing. He glared at Zuo Xiangyu without giving in, "I'm your biological sister. What good does it do you to slander me like this?"

"I heard it from someone..."

"Then you should smash those talkative mouths!" Jiang said angrily.

"I do have the heart, but it's a pity that I don't have the courage!" Zuo Xiangyu raised her eyebrows and squinted at Jiang, "The eldest princess said it in front of all the civil and military officials. I'm afraid Madam doesn't have the courage, right?"

When Jiang heard what she said, she knew that this matter would not go away. She looked at Zuo Xiangning and saw her looking at her with a pale face. Jiang's heart sank.

"Since it was the eldest princess who said it, I will go to the eldest princess to argue with you." Jiang held up the tea cup and said, "If Princess Liang has nothing else to do, she should go back home early."

Zuo Xiangyu looked at Jiang, with a vicious look in her eyes, "I, the princess, only care about the reputation of the Zuo family. I didn't expect that my wife would be so ungrateful, so consider it a waste of time for me today!"

After Zuo Xiangyu left, Jiang looked at Zuo Xiangning and asked, "What is going on?"

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip, thought for a while, and said: "I heard from Zhang Tu that Gu Zhiqing's cousin admitted that he and Gu Zhiqing were father and son in Shuntian Mansion. Gu Zhiqing took people to the prison of Shuntian Mansion in the middle of the night to rescue his cousin. Let's go. When the Marquis of Jingan was chasing him, he fell off a cliff and died. Now the eldest princess insists that Gu Zhiqing is her son, and was framed and forced to death by the Marquis of Jingan."

Jiang's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
