Chapter 59 Fighting poison with poison
"I'm telling you, don't go too far!" Zuo Yian pointed at Jiang's nose and said angrily: "Don't think that your Jiang family is noble just because you can throw my Zuo Yian's face to the ground and trample on me! Let me tell you, what’s going on with Liu’s matter, don’t think I don’t know!”

"I'm really curious, what do you know?" Jiang was so angry that her head was spinning, "You actually protected a woman who rolled onto the same bed with a servant as if she were a treasure! You are not afraid of embarrassment, I It’s too embarrassing! How can you let your children go out to meet people..."

"Shut up!" Zuo Yian shouted with a ferocious face: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself! Don't force me..."

Jiang looked at Zuo Yi'an who raised his hand in shock, "You want to hit me?"

Zuo Yi'an gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang.

Pancui's cry suddenly came from outside the door, "Mother Cai, where is the madam? The fourth girl suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and fainted!"

Jiang's expression changed, and before Cai's mother knocked on the door, she turned around, opened the door, and asked urgently: "What's wrong with Xiang Ning?"

"Madam..." Pancui saw Zuo Yi'an appearing at the door, and her voice trembled slightly because of his livid face, "Fourth...fourth girl...fainted..."

"Go and ask for a doctor!" Mrs. Jiang was helped by Cai's mother to Xianglanzhai.

Zuo Yi'an kicked the door hard, took a sip of tea, and then hurried to Xianglanzhai.

"Why do you have a stomachache all of a sudden?" Jiang asked Pancui anxiously.

Pancui looked back and saw that Zuo Yi'an hadn't come, then whispered: "Madam, don't worry, I heard that you and the master had a quarrel..."

Jiang sighed and said nothing more.

When they arrived at Xianglanzhai, Mrs. Jiang saw Zuo Xiangning lying on the bed. Her nose was sore and she almost shed tears.

Zuo Xiangning held Jiang's cold fingers tightly, her eyes red with distress, "What do you have to argue about? As an official in the court, I am not afraid of embarrassment. What are you afraid of? Our brothers and sisters have grown up, especially the eldest sister. With eldest brother, who in the capital can say 'no'? Although third brother and I are not married, if someone really dislikes us because of this matter, then we may not be able to get along with him!"

Jiang's tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.

But she immediately raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "You kid, what do you think so much about? Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Just as Zuo Xiangning was about to open her mouth to persuade her a few more words, the voice of "Master is here" came from outside. Zuo Xiangning hurriedly lay back on the bed. Jiang pulled her quilt up, and Zuo Xiangning heard from outside. Yi An's voice asked, "How are you girls doing?"

Panxia went out and said, "The girl just drank a bowl of hot water and feels much better."

"Why hasn't the doctor come yet? Go ask someone to urge you more!" Zuo Yian walked into the inner room, stood two meters away from the bed, and asked Zuo Xiangning: "Ning'er, how are you?"

"Father, my daughter is much better."

Zuo Xiangning slowly wanted to get up, but Jiang quickly held her down and said, "You are still sick now. Your father will not pick on you."

"Your mother is right, you should lie down quickly." Zuo Yian stood aside for a while, waiting for the doctor to check his pulse, and then he followed the doctor to the outside room.

The doctor who often walked around the house was a human spirit, and he was given some advice by the housekeeper Mingwang on the way, so he said a few profound and difficult words and prescribed an insignificant prescription.

"If the patient still doesn't get better, ask someone to come back to me and I'll give him another prescription."

After the doctor left, Zuo Yian stayed outside for a while. When Zuo Xiangning said he didn't feel uncomfortable anymore, he left.

Jiang sat on Zuo Xiangning's bedside and said, "I'll have dinner with you tonight."

Seeing that Ms. Jiang was no longer sad about Aunt Liu, Mother Cai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'll make some of your favorite dishes."

After Zuo Xiangning sent Pan Cui and Pan Xia out, she sat up and said to Jiang, "Mother, daughter... my daughter has something to say..."

Jiang looked at Zuo Xiangning strangely, "What can't you say to your mother?"

Zuo Xiangning gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, even if you want to deal with Aunt Liu's matter like this, Aunt Liu may not necessarily think so."

"I spared her once, but she is not grateful. What else does she want?" Jiang raised her eyebrows, "If you make me anxious, I will make things worse and make her lose face!" Zuo Xiangning knew that Jiang was just She was talking angrily, but for the sake of her children, she couldn't really do that.

"Instead of causing trouble like that and causing a rift between you and your father, why don't you buy a...beautiful woman from outside who will listen to you..." Zuo Xiangning's face turned slightly red.

She knew that such words should not be said by her daughter, but if she didn't say it, Jiang might not be able to guard against her after Mrs. Liu turned over.

Although Jiang was a little surprised at Zuo Xiangning's thoughts, she didn't think much about it.

Because Mrs. Zuo was not happy with the children she had given birth to, even their father was not very concerned about them.

Therefore, the children are obviously closer to her mother.

And Zuo Xiangning, in her heart, was her biological child.

"There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days." Zuo Xiangning saw that there was no look of surprise on Jiang's face, so she boldly added: "And don't forget to tell your father, Jingyin Temple Not only our own people in Zuofu know about this matter, Prince Zhongyuan Hou also witnessed it with his own eyes."

"He is obsessed now. Even if the King of Heaven sees it, he may not be able to turn around." Jiang thought for a moment and said, "I know how to handle this matter. You must not get involved. Come in and pretend you don’t know.”

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning nodded.

Three days later, Pancui told Zuo Xiangning, "Madam saved a pair of seriously ill sisters on her way back. They are so beautiful."

Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "Have they been cured?"

"It's cured." Pan Cui said with a smile: "Both their parents are dead and they are homeless. Madam has promised to keep them in the house."

"Really?" Zuo Xiangning gently raised her lower lip, "Is there any movement in Ruyiyuan recently?"

"It's very quiet, there's no movement at all." Pan Cui whispered: "The master has been staying in the study room in the front yard for the past few days, and he has never had any more arguments with his wife."

Zuo Xiangning nodded.

Now I just hope that these two women can live up to expectations.

During dinner, Zuo Xiangning went to Fanghuayuan and met the two girls.

They have bright eyes and white teeth, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. They are all around 20 years old. The younger sister is innocent and ignorant, while the elder sister is more charming.

The two of them stood cautiously next to them, looking pitiful. Not to mention the men, even Zuo Xiangning could not help but feel pity for them when they saw them.

"They are all girls from good families, and they are also literate. I kept them and arranged them in the front yard." Jiang said seemingly unintentionally, and asked Cai's mother to take them to the front yard.

"You can stay here for dinner tonight." Jiang said, "I'll have someone make the pot."

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning nodded with a smile and asked about another thing that was on her mind, "Mom, when will my eldest brother come back? Can you come back before me and Ji Li?"

"Your eldest brother has already asked someone to bring your haircut gift back, but he just told me not to give it to you in advance." Jiang said with a smile.

"Then when will my eldest brother come back?"

In her previous life, Zuo Zixi personally gave her the hairpin gift.

"I heard from the person who brought the things back that the war on the border is tense, and your eldest brother may not be able to come back even for the New Year." Jiang sighed, "Prince Zhongyuan Hou will go on an expedition with provisions and soldiers in the next few days. "

Prince Zhongyuan is going on an expedition?
Zuo Xiangning's face changed drastically.

In his previous life, Marquis Zhongyuan went on an expedition and brought back the bodies of the Jiang family's uncle and the eldest son of the Zuo family...
