Chapter 84
Jing Se has long known what kind of people Su Aoyu and Jing Wanbai are, so she is not surprised to hear such shameless slander at this moment.

She always liked to keep smiling in front of her enemies, "Third sister, as a prospective prince and side concubine, you have to be responsible for what you say."

Jing Se spoke slowly, and the word "side concubine" paused deliberately.

Realizing that Jing Se deliberately mentioned in front of everyone that she had been relegated from the high-ranking princess-to-be to the side concubine of the prince, Jing Wanbai's face turned pale and white, and she gritted her teeth.

Jing Se sighed softly, "When I went to see you that day, His Royal Highness was clearly there. You said that I would poison you, why did His Royal Highness not respond and arrest me on the spot? The third sister wanted to tell us His Royal Highness Are you blind?"

Jing Wan Bai's whole body trembled, and he glared at Jing Se angrily, "You're clearly trying to quibble!"

Jing Se said unhurriedly: "In front of so many ladies and wives, how can I dare to say a single lie? If the third sister thinks that I am making excuses, you might as well ask the crown prince to come down and confront you. If he admits that I poisoned you , then he didn’t arrest me that day, which proves that he has been magnanimous and let the past go. If he said that he didn’t see me poisoning you, then third sister, you are slandering the prince and concubine Zhun Chu. How should you be convicted of this crime? "

If you really follow Jingse's method, no matter what the final result is, Jingse will be proud of it.

Jing Wanbai reacted in a moment, but she didn't expect that Jing Se would put pressure on her as the concubine of the king of Chu. You must know that the side concubine of the prince is just a concubine, but the concubine of the king of Chu is the main wife. Naturally, the main wife is far away Much higher than a concubine, now Jing Wan Bai can no longer surpass Jing Se in terms of status.

The nails pinched her palms so painfully, Jing Wanbai's teeth trembled, she couldn't say a word, her eyes were blazing with anger, but she dared not speak out, after all, she just came out of prison today, and now she is in front of so many wives In the face of the young lady, she must not leave a bad impression on others.

Liu's heart was filled with joy, and she looked at Jing Se with admiration. No matter how she looked at her, she was pleasing to the eye. Although Jing Shurao had already told her everything that Jing Shurao said when she went to find Jing Se in the morning, Liu Shi did not complain about Jing Se at all. , On the contrary, I feel that this person is frank and straightforward.

Having invited so many wives from aristocratic families here today, the Liu family already knew that Jing Se wanted to use these people to make Jing Wanbai look ugly in public, but the situation was dangerous just now, and Jing Wanbai slandered Jing Se for poisoning her in prison as soon as he opened his mouth.

At that moment, Liu Shi was really frightened. She thought that Jing Se might just follow Su Aoyu's mother and daughter's way, but she didn't expect that she would turn the situation around without changing her expression, trapping Jing Wan Bai inside and out. situation.

As a result, Liu's affection for Jingse has increased.

Among the wives, there are many shrewd ones, as soon as they heard Jing Se's words, they knew that there must be something strange, so everyone turned their attention to Jing Wan Bai.

Where did Jing Wanbai expect Jing Se to be so eloquent, facing everyone's gaze, she remembered that Jing Se had just deliberately emphasized that she was a concubine, so she automatically thought that these people were all looking at her with contemptuous eyes at this moment.

Jing Wan Bai, who has always been proud, naturally couldn't bear such a sense of gap. She was thinking about it, and planned to pretend to faint to avoid so many people staring at her.

Su Aoyu knew her own daughter best, seeing her dazed eyes, she roughly guessed what Jing Wanbai was thinking.

Quickly taking two steps forward, Su Aoyu supported Jing Wan Bai calmly, and said to Jing Se with a smile: "Your sister is talking nonsense in a daze, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Jing Se's smile deepened, "Mother, it's clear that you first met the third sister."

Su Aoyu was stunned, and Jing Se said again: "Since you know that the third sister is confused, why did you help the third sister to question me just now? I didn't intend to care about it, but when I thought about the usual black and white Mingming’s mother has achieved this level, and I have nothing to worry about. I must seek justice for myself in front of all the ladies and ladies. The ladies standing here today are all sensible people who understand righteousness and justice. They naturally know what is right and what is wrong."

After finishing speaking, Jing Se glanced at everyone, bent her knees slightly, and said in a respectful tone, "Aunts and aunts, do you think what Arthur said makes sense?"

Previously, Jing Se’s words had extolled the ladies’ “understanding and righteousness” to the sky. Now that Jing Se is asking this question, it is naturally impossible for the noble ladies who care about face to refute Jing Se and make themselves worthless, so they all nodded. go along.

"Miss is right, since Miss San can't produce evidence, it's slander."

"It's not good for Mrs. Jing to be so biased. Miss Jing is the future concubine of the King of Chu, no matter what, she is more noble than a prince and side concubine. If the Chu Palace pursues it, you will suffer."

"That's right, as the mistress of the house, she should act fairly. How can she defend her daughter and slander others in front of so many people? It's just too outrageous!"

The noble ladies were more indignant than the other, and they all complained about Jing Se's injustice.

Jingse kept watching with a smile.

In fact, among the noble ladies present, when they deal with trivial matters in the backyard, whose hands are clean?It's just that in front of others, they all like to show themselves to be righteous.

Jing Se has precisely grasped this point, so she will first praise the "noble morality" of the ladies, let them find their own sense of superiority, and then use their sense of superiority to deal with Su Aoyu's mother and daughter.

Taking a glance at Jing Wanbai's livid face and Su Aoyu's trembling teeth, Jing Se knew that the effect of using it was good, and couldn't help but feel happy.

Handing the small brocade box to Jing Wanbai again, Jing Se temporarily gave her a step down to break the current deadlock.

"Third sister, although the gift is small, it is a heartfelt gift. I hope you don't dislike it."

Su Aoyu immediately came back to her senses, walked down the steps, and said with a smile: "Wan Bai, since it's your elder sister's wish, it means that she forgives you and doesn't care about those nonsense with you, why don't you hurry up and accept it. In case your eldest sister misunderstands you and still cares about the previous matter."

After being reminded by Su Aoyu, Jing Wanbai reluctantly took the brocade box, she really wanted to see what this woman Jing Se was planning.

Thinking of this, Jing Wan Bai said: "The little brocade box is so beautiful, so the gifts inside must be quite expensive, right?"

Jing Se smiled, "If the third sister is curious, you can open it."

Hearing this, everyone curiously moved their heads to find out.

After all, Jing Se was the only one who prepared a gift for Jing Wan Bai today, so it naturally became the focus.

Jing Wanbai's eyes flashed with pride, she stretched out her hand, and slowly lifted the top cover of the brocade box.

When they saw the objects inside, everyone exclaimed.

Ladies and daughters are amazed at the exquisite beauty of this object.

But Jing Wan Bai and Su Aoyu were taken aback.

Because what is placed in the brocade box is not a side object, but the same earrings as the sapphire and South Sea pearl earrings that Rijing Wanbai used to frame Jingse, but these earrings are inlaid with rubies.

Rather than saying that this is a meeting gift from the old lady to Jing Se, it is better to say that it is a meeting gift from Concubine Shu to Jing Se. Because Concubine Shu cannot go out of the palace, she sent someone to deliver this pair of earrings to Jing Se before Jing Se returned. Mrs. Jing, ask Mrs. Jing to give it to Jing Se.

There were two pairs of such earrings produced by the Inner Court Shangfu Bureau. One pair was given to the queen by Emperor Taihe, which was made of sapphire, and the other pair was given to Concubine Shu, which was made of ruby.

The pair placed in the brocade box right now were gifted by Concubine Shu herself, and they are genuine imperial treasures.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Jing Se said: "This pair of earrings is the same as the pair in the hands of the third sister a few days ago, but it was a gift from the concubine Shu. I see that the third sister seems to like that pair very much. Earrings, but unfortunately they are fake, so I gave this pair to you as a gift, and I hope you can cherish it well."

Jing Se's words were made out of favor, and at the same time, Jing Wanbai's old background was exposed, which was equivalent to slapping Jing Wanbai and Su Aoyu several times, and the mother and daughter were so angry that they wanted to kill each other immediately .

The ladies and wives were even more inclined to Jing Se's side, and began to point fingers at Jing Wanbai, scolding her for being unconscionable, not only slandering her own sister-in-law, reporting to the officials to arrest her, but also audaciously pretending to be a fake from the court, even saying In the end, she steals the chicken and puts herself in the rice. It's God's eyes, and the retribution is not good.

The harsh words fell into Jing Wan Bai's ears word by word, she was so angry that she didn't know how to react, she just felt that she hated Jing Se to the bottom of her heart, even if she was crushed to the bone, she would not be able to understand her hatred.

Su Aoyu obviously didn't expect the matter to develop to this point, and she also knew that her daughter could not think of a way to save the situation, so she had to stand up and look at Jing Se sadly, "Arthur, even if Wan Bai made a big mistake, she will After reflecting on so many things in the prison, she has done what she should repent and blame herself. Why do you say these heartbreaking words to poke her heart now? You have just accepted your gift, and you have already represented her. Abandoning the past and planning to be good sisters with you in the future, how can you still... oh... what do you want me to say about you?"

Jing Se raised her eyebrows, and said back at Su Aoyu's words, "Mother, Arthur thought that he was almost wrongly arrested and imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion a few days ago, so he was confused and said nonsense for a while. As an elder, don't talk to me like this!" The general knowledge of the juniors is enough, why do you have to say so many things to criticize me? Do I have to bear it obediently when I am almost wronged, and I am not allowed to have my own petty emotions? Yes, you said that the third sister lived in prison No, I know that too. But mother, I didn't get Sanmei in there. It was the fake that Sanmei took out by herself that day, and it was Sanmei who reported to the official. In the end, it was Sanmei who was arrested. What does all this have to do with me? If you have to accuse me of a crime, it can only be said that I failed to impress Jing Zhaoyin when I pleaded with the third sister in front of Jing Zhaoyin. I really failed to do this Best, but there is no way, who made me just a country girl, who wants eloquence but no eloquence, needs connections without connections, and is not familiar with Jing Zhaoyin, otherwise, wouldn't I be able to let Jing Zhaoyin pardoned the third younger sister's crime?"

These rebuttals made Su Aoyu speechless and blushing.

From these words, everyone heard an important message: on the day Jing Wan Bai was arrested, Jing Se pleaded for her.

For a while, the ladies' affection and sympathy for Jing Se rose to another level.

Mrs. Liu was almost full of praise for Jing Se.

For so many years, Su Aoyu has been domineering over her head, she has nothing to do, now that Su Aoyu has repeatedly fallen into Jingse's hands and can't find a word to refute, Liu's accumulated resentment for many years After sweeping away, I immediately felt that the surrounding air was much fresher.

When the matter developed to this point, no matter how much the noble ladies would stay to eat the banquet, they all cursed "unlucky" and returned home with their maids on an empty stomach.

Today's banquet is a waste of time.

Back in the room, Jing Wan Bai couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately dropped a valuable flower goblet. The maids in the room were trembling, too frightened to speak.

Su Aoyu came over soon. Seeing this, she frowned first, then walked in with a smile, "Baby girl, why are you so angry?"

"Why!" Jing Wan Bai was trembling with anger, "What the hell is that bitch! Today is my good day, but she ruined it with a few words, mother, I can't swallow this tone, When will you be able to punish that bitch severely, it is best to make her disappear completely... um..."

Before Jing Wan could finish speaking, Su Aoyu rushed over and covered her mouth. A bit of panic flashed across her face, and she warned, "Walls have ears, so you can't talk like this."

Jing Wan Bai also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and closed his mouth after blinking.

Only then did Su Aoyu let her go.

Thinking of the smug look in Jing Se's eyes when he said goodbye in the garden just now, Jing Wan Bai was full of anger, gritted his teeth, and slapped the table hard, "My life will not be safe every day this bitch stays in the mansion."

Su Aoyu sat down beside her, she was someone who had experienced it, her thoughts were not as limited and short-sighted as Jing Wanbai's.

"Wan Bai, the most important thing for you at the moment is to restore your perfect image." Su Aoyu said: "In front of so many people today, Jing Se made you look so ugly, this revenge, mother will definitely do it for you You don’t need to worry about it, no matter when and where, you have to maintain your beautiful appearance, so as to make a good impression on others.”

Jing Wan Bai frowned tightly, "Mother, Jing Se has made me look like that, how can I restore my image?"

"Isn't there a great opportunity right now?" Su Aoyu smiled, and took a sip of tea, "The plum blossom banquet held by Concubine Shu herself, the old lady got three invitations, and Jingse will be brought into the palace by the old lady. It's already a certainty. I heard from the maids that Jing Nanqing from the second room and Jing Shurao from the third room have both gone to Jing Se. It seems that they want to ask her to help the old lady to intercede. The last spot was given to them, but none of them seemed to work out."

Jing Wan Bai was anxious, "Mother, according to what you said, if I want to enter the palace, I have to go to Mu Yunju to curry favor with that bitch?"

"Of course not." Su Aoyu said: "Since the invitation is in the hands of the old lady, you only need to please the old lady."

Jing Wan Bai was a little relieved, the old lady had always doted on her, this time it was a great opportunity to make an appearance in the palace, even people like Jing Se could be favored by the old lady, of course he was a must.

*
At dusk, Jing Wanbai came to the Millennium Hall, and it happened that Jing Se, Jing Qingluan, and Jiang Shi who was holding Yanyan were also there, and the chatting and laughing of the few people was warm and harmonious.

After Jing Wan Bai went in, he concealed the gloom between his brows, and stepped forward to salute the old lady.

The old lady lowered her eyes and looked at her indifferently, "Since you have suffered a lot in prison, why don't you stay in your room and rest?"

Jing Se also looked over, with a half smile on her face.

As soon as Jing Wan Bai saw Jing Se, she had the urge to tear her face apart, and after grinding her teeth for a moment, she said to the old lady, "I heard that there was a plum blossom feast in the palace a few days ago, and the old lady has three invitations? "

Madam Jing immediately understood Jing Wanbai's intention, raised her eyebrows, "So what?"

Jing Wan Bai bit his lips, "Wan Bai hasn't seen His Highness the Crown Prince for several days, and wants to take this opportunity to enter the palace. I wonder if the old lady can fulfill her granddaughter's wish?"

Jing Se sneered silently, Jing Wan Bai was not stupid, he directly threw out the prince, secretly emphasizing that she is Gu Qian's woman, if the old lady doesn't give her this invitation, then she will not give the prince face.

Looking away, Jing Se looked at Mrs. Jing without a trace.

Mrs. Jing was not in a hurry, she said slowly: "It's just a side concubine, His Royal Highness is busy choosing the main concubine, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you."

These words were slapped loudly in the face.

Jing Wan Bai froze after hearing this, and immediately trembled his lips, raised his eyes full of tears, and looked like he was about to cry, "Old lady..."

"Okay!" Mrs. Jing raised her hand, her voice contained an undeniable majesty, "I've already had people report to the palace for the candidate for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, why are you here to join in the fun at this time?"

"I..." Jing Wan Bai was full of reluctance, and wanted to say something more, but when she caught a glimpse of Jing Se beside her from the corner of her eye, she burst into anger, and forgot all the words she had edited along the way, and finally had no choice but to Resign with hatred.

"You really don't know the importance of the girl." After Jing Wanbai left, Mrs. Jing put the tea cup back on the small table with a heavy voice, showing displeasure, "I lost face in front of so many people this morning, and now I want to enter the palace , I don’t know how thick-skinned he is.”

The three of Jingse knew that they couldn't answer these words, so they wisely chose to shut up, just pretending to tease Yanyan, and for a while, the previous laughter and laughter resumed in the Nuan Pavilion.

*
The officials sent by Taipu Temple to the Department of Stables to check the horses acted quickly. They found out that eight horses were missing on the same day, and found out that the order of the stables had fled in fear of crime, so they reported the matter to Jingzhao Mansion, and soon to Emperor Taihe. In his ears, Emperor Taihe was furious, and immediately sent Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei has always been vigorous and resolute, not to mention that this time it was Bo Qinghuan who took the lead in the arrest. It took only three hours to capture Chen Yuan in a small town outside the city.

In the same case, the nature of being arrested by Jingzhao Mansion and Jinyiwei is different.

Being arrested by people from the Jingzhao Mansion, the process will be more complicated. First, they will be detained, then tried, and then handed over to Dali Temple for review, and finally they can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to finalize the case.

But being caught by Jin Yiwei, it was different. He was directly thrown into the Imperial Prison, where he was served with various tortures.

The loss of the royal horse was considered a major case, and news spread quickly throughout Jinling City.

Of course, the news that Chen Yuan was arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to prison also spread.

The concubine Chen Yuan used Jing Qingluan's dowry to sell money to pay for it only heard that he was arrested and sent to prison. The next day, before dawn, he secretly packed many items in Chen Yuan's mansion that could be sold for money. He left in a hurry, and went to the pharmacy to buy anti-abortion medicine.

The son was arrested, the daughter-in-law was driven back to her mother's house, and the concubine who was pregnant with the heir sneaked away. The old lady of the Chen family cried to death, and finally hit her daughter-in-law in desperation.

*
Early in the morning, there was the sound of dying cries outside the Xijiao gate. People from the neighborhood came to watch. When they got closer, they saw that it was an elderly woman in a dark blue cloth, sitting on the ground. Let go of crying.

Someone asked her, "Madam, what are you crying outside the gate of Youxiang's Mansion early in the morning?"

The old lady of the Chen family cried even harder, crying and saying: "My son was arrested and put into prison, my daughter-in-law is so cruel, in order to avoid being implicated, she packed up her things overnight and came back to her mother's house, regardless of me, an old woman Can I have enough food and clothing? Alas, how could my life be so bitter? With such a daughter-in-law, how will I live the rest of my life! I'm dead..."

The man asked again, "Who is your daughter-in-law in the right minister's residence?"

The old lady of the Chen family let go of her voice, "It is the second young lady Jing Qingluan."

Everyone was stunned, and immediately thought of the big case of the loss of the royal horse of the Dian Stables Department recently, and knew that this old lady was the old mother of Dian Stables Ling Chen Yuan.

Although Chen Yuan was guilty, he was not as guilty as his mother, let alone an elderly woman who was dying.

Therefore, when everyone heard her cry like this, they all accused the second young lady Jing Qingluan who was closed behind closed doors in the Youxiang Mansion compound, scolded her for her moral depravity, and her husband left her mother-in-law and went back to her mother's house alone to seek refuge in an accident.

Uncle Zhang at the concierge quickly passed the matter to Qinghe Garden.

At that time, Jing Qingluan was accompanying Jiang Shi to coax Yanyan who had just drank milk to sleep. After hearing Uncle Zhang's report, he was furious and gritted his teeth, "Shameless! This family is so shameless! It is clearly Chen That scum in the distance drove me out of the gate of my husband's house. Now that he has been arrested, the old lady of the Chen family blamed me for the crime, and even came to cry outside the gate of Youxiang's mansion early in the morning. Isn't it enough to embarrass your own son?"

Mrs. Jiang also frowned, "Thinking about it, your mother-in-law is a difficult one, Second Sister, you'd better go out and have a look, lest she cry, make trouble, hang herself, and damage the reputation of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." Father knows, then no one will have good fruit to eat."

Jing Qingluan also knows that her mother-in-law is as unreasonable as her son, but if she goes out like this, she will be led by the nose by her mother-in-law, and then the old lady of the Chen family will use her old life to force her to go back to her husband's house Go, isn't she a failure?

At this time, Aunt Luo walked in, and seeing Jing Qingluan's frowning face, she knew that she had heard about what happened outside the Xijiao Gate.

Stepping forward a few steps, Aunt Luo said: "Qingluan, your mother-in-law's temper is really a headache, come on, Auntie will accompany you out to have a look, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the ears of the eldest lady In a short while, many unnecessary troubles will arise."

Jing Qingluan bit her lips tightly and looked at Aunt Luo, "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to go out, but I know in my heart that as long as I go out, I will be forced to go back with her by my mother-in-law. I have already died to Chen Yuan." Xin, how can I go back with her again, besides, Chen Yuan was arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to the Imperial Prison, whether he is dead or alive is still unknown, if I go back, what is the difference between being a widow?"

Aunt Luo was full of helplessness, "But if you don't go out, it's not an option to let your mother-in-law go on like this!"

Jing Qingluan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Aunt Luo saw the clue, "Could it be that you want to go to Muyunju and ask your elder sister to help you with ideas?"

Jing Qingluan didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.

Aunt Luo sighed: "You child, why do you want your eldest sister to help you in everything? No matter how smart she is, she is still a woman who has not been out of the court. How can she solve your tedious housework? Besides, your paragraph There are a lot of troubles for her, if you can solve it by yourself, don't you feel ashamed to go to her every day?"

After Jing Qingluan listened to it, she reflected on herself, and felt that she had troubled Jing Se a lot during this period, and finally sighed helplessly, she said: "Auntie, don't go, I will go out by myself. Madam."

"How can I do that?" Aunt Luo suddenly became nervous, "My mother-in-law's temper is not so easy to deal with. I'm worried that you won't be able to say that she has suffered a disadvantage. Let me go with you."

Jing Qingluan couldn't resist Aunt Luo, so he had to come to the West Corner Gate with her.

After waiting all morning to see the door open, the old lady of the Chen family cried desperately with her voice amplified, and her words were full of unfilial words against Luojing Qingluan.

Standing at the entrance of the corner, Jing Qingluan watched the people around him point and point, and suddenly became angry.

Seeing this, Aunt Luo secretly tugged at her sleeve to signal her to be calm.

Jing Qingluan took a deep breath and walked over to help the old lady of the Chen family up.

The old lady of the Chen family didn't agree, her buttocks were stuck to the ground, she just couldn't get up if she couldn't get up.

Jing Qingluan said angrily, "Old lady, your son is in jail, and you have to cry and mourn. I'll send you to the yamen, so don't dirty the land of Youxiang's mansion."

The old lady of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, and then she threw her hands on the ground and cried, "Oh, you who killed a thousand swords, how can you curse your husband's daughter-in-law like that! That's my son, you cursed him like this, you might as well kill him with one sword!" I'll forget it, the left and right families are already too poor to get rid of the pot, the old woman will starve to death sooner or later, why don't you send me on the road earlier, and it will be settled once and for all."

The surrounding crowd suddenly exploded.

"Tsk tsk... This daughter-in-law, has her conscience been fed to the dog?"

"I think it's heartless at all. How can you talk to your mother-in-law like this?"

"That's because the old lady has a good temper. If it was our old lady, she would have served her according to the family rules."

The people's accusations and abuse came to Jing Qingluan's ears. She was so angry that her head was smoking, and she stood up to argue, "You all don't know, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wind flashes your tongue."

"Oh, look, you're still jumping over the wall in a hurry. It's clear that you don't respect the old, and you say we gossip. In my opinion, the family style of the Youxiangfu is not very good. Otherwise, how could you raise such an uneducated man?" miss come?"

Aunt Luo was shocked, and hurried forward to smooth things over, with an apologetic smile on her face, "Listen to me, everyone, what happened today was a misunderstanding, the truth is not what you see, everyone don't take it to heart, it's not early, hurry up let it go!"

How could the crowd listen to Aunt Luo's words, they stood still, with even more contempt in their eyes.

Jing Qingluan was furious, and stared at the old lady of the Chen family, "It was clearly your son who drove me out of the house, what are you doing outside the gate of my mother's house now?"

After hearing this, everyone noticed that there was something strange in the words, and immediately fell silent.

The old lady of the Chen family kept crying, "You talk nonsense! My son loves you so much, he wished he could pluck all the stars from the sky and give them to you. He gave you his heart and soul, but you packed up his things and patted him when he was in trouble. How can you be worthy of him and the ancestors of the Chen family!"

Jing Qingluan suddenly sneered, and everyone was taken aback.

She stood up straight, slowly opened her sleeves, revealing the bruises on her arms and turned around for everyone to see, "Everyone, please take a look, this is my husband's love for me, Four years, I have been married for four full years, and he beat me for four years. Every day I lived in the Chen family was like living in hell. There was not a moment when I didn’t want to escape the pain. This time my husband was in trouble, It is indeed my fault that I am not in my natal family, but I was clearly driven out of the house by my husband before he was arrested and imprisoned. He also told me to leave first, and the divorce letter will arrive later. I am just a woman, If it wasn't for my husband's permission, can I come back to my mother's house at will?"

The scar on Jing Qingluan's arm was real and shocking, and it was impossible to fake it. Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they saw it. The next moment, the wind turned, and all the abuse turned to Mrs. Chen's family.

How could the old lady of the Chen family expect that her son would beat Jing Qingluan like this, let alone that Jing Qingluan would expose her scars in public to prove her innocence.She suddenly panicked.

Rolling her eyes, the old lady of the Chen family cried bitterly again, "You are talking nonsense, since you said that my son is going to divorce you, then you should show the divorce letter, otherwise, you will still be my daughter-in-law of the Chen family."

This time, even though everyone knew that Jing Qingluan was the victim, they couldn't find any words to refute it.

Without a divorce letter, Jing Qingluan is still Chen Yuan's daughter-in-law, and the old lady of the Chen family is her mother-in-law. This relationship is constantly being discussed.

Jing Qingluan frowned, she didn't expect the old lady of the Chen family to be so shameless, she talked about that, but she still refused to let her go, she was sure that she didn't have a divorce letter in her hand, and wanted to threaten her with this She went back to Chen's house.

Aunt Luo saw that her daughter was in trouble, so she came forward and said in a gentle voice, "Old lady of the Chen family, what are you doing? Isn't it easy to want a divorce? You can accompany my daughter to the prison to visit the prison some other day, and let Chen Wouldn’t it be enough for Yuan to write a copy himself?”

When the old lady of the Chen family heard something bad, she quickly changed her words, "Hey mother, you and I have been friends for so many years, my son is in trouble, your girl is not doing well, it's fine if you don't educate her well, why follow her Come to taunt me, an elderly woman, you are really chilling!"

Aunt Luo's complexion became gloomy, but she was helpless, and ordered the little maid to go to the room to fetch a silver coin and hand it to the old lady of the Chen family, and said loudly: "Old lady of the Chen family, this is a little wish from me, you take it first and use it later. In a few days, I will personally send someone to send Qingluan back to take care of you."

It was the first time that the old lady of the Chen family saw such a big silver ingot in her whole life, her eyes lit up immediately, she stopped crying, and walked home joltingly after collecting the silver.

Before leaving, he deliberately said, "If my daughter-in-law doesn't come back, I will continue to make trouble in two days!"

Jing Qingluan stared at the back of the old lady of the Chen family, her fists in her sleeves were clenched until her knuckles turned white, and after a while, she squeezed out a sentence, "It's too deceiving!"

Aunt Luo comforted her, "Qingluan, I think it's okay, you just stay at the house for a few days, and then Auntie can think of a way for you."

Jing Qingluan turned around, her face full of annoyance, "Auntie, the silver ingot you gave her just now is your monthly prescription for more than a year, you just gave it to her, what will you eat and use in the future?"

Aunt Luo smiled, "I still have a son and daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of, besides, your father has been going to Qinghe Garden every day during this period, and he has been given a lot of things by others. Auntie is getting old, and she is not as fond of wearing clothes as you little girls." Dressing up, after a year, it doesn't cost a lot of money."

What Aunt Luo said made Jing Qingluan's nose sore, and he blamed Su Aoyu who arranged her marriage even more in his heart.If it wasn't for that woman, she might have been able to marry better. Why did she get to this point, when something happened to her husband's family, she was forced to return to her mother's house, and troubled her aunt to worry about everything.

Although the old lady of the Chen family's troubles reached Su Aoyu's ears, the power over the past two days was still in the hands of Liu Shi, and she was so busy with Jing Wanbai's affairs that she had no time to take care of other things.

So, that's how it went.

*
The day of plum appreciation feast is getting closer and closer, Yingluo, Zhihua and Qing'er are busy making clothes for Jingse and choosing jewelry.

The old lady thought carefully, and specially asked someone to send the Tianxiang brocade that the concubine Shu concubine gave to Mu Yunju during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year to make some decent clothes for her.

Jing Wan Bai got angry in the room after hearing the news, but now that her reputation has been ruined, she can only vent her anger like this, there is no other way.

One day, Jing Se was sitting on the small couch reading a book, when Liu Yun suddenly ran in and asked Vatican Second Lord to see him.

Jing Se was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously, "Master Vatican Second?"

Liu Yun nodded, "Vatican II is waiting in the front hall now!"

Jing se closed the book, stood up and straightened her clothes.

Zhi Hua, who was busy branching out, asked, "Miss Biao, do you want your servants to accompany you?"

"No need." Jing Se shook her head, "You guys do your work first, the Second Lord Vatican is not someone else, he won't do anything to me, since it's rare to come to the house in person, he must have something important to do."

After finishing speaking, Jing Se left Mu Yunju and went straight to the front hall.

All the little maids serving in the front hall were kicked out by Fan Yue, and he sat inside leisurely by himself.

When Jing Se came, what he saw was Fan Yue's lazy and lazy appearance.

"How can the second master have time to come over today?" Jing Se glanced around and asked Fan Yue after making sure that Fan Yue was the only one.

"Will you go to the plum appreciation banquet in a few days' time?" Fan Yue asked directly.

Jing Se's eyes sparkled slightly, and instead of answering, she asked, "So what if I go, so what if I don't go?"

Fan Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "If you go, I will take our eldest brother there, then you two will go to meet the Empress Dowager together, she has never seen you two go to invite her together Ann, it's time for you to end her old man's wish."

Jing Se's heart skipped a beat, and she frowned, "Who is the young couple with whom?"

"You." Fan Yue pointed at her, and continued, "And our boss."

Jingse frowned even deeper.

Fan Yue seemed to have read her mind, and raised his brows again and again, "It's too late for you to lie now, I asked when I came in, this time Mrs. Jing only took you alone, these few days The little maids are busy making clothes for you, even if you want to go back on your word, you can't."

At the end, the corner of her mouth raised and her smile deepened, "Sister-in-law, you should obey obediently!"

Jingse gnashed her teeth.

Fan Yue pretended not to see it, and continued: "Marrying the boss of my family, you will not suffer or be fooled, how many people dream of marrying into the Chu Palace, but you still don't appreciate it, I really don't understand what you, a woman, are thinking all day long. "

Jing Se stared at him, "You want to marry, you marry, you want to force me? Dreaming!"

"I won't force you." Fan Yue said with a smile, "But I can coax Hao Hao to call my boss 'Daddy'."

Hearing this, Jing Sudun felt like a bolt from the blue, "What did you say?"

Fan Yue pinched his chin and laughed meanly, "Hao Hao is your son, but now he calls your fiancé 'Daddy'. Isn't this an indirect acknowledgment that you are the concubine of King Chu?"

"What on earth do you want to do?" Jing Se's face darkened, her eyes fixed on Fan Yue.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted you to marry me earlier." He shrugged.

"Fan Chen looks like that, how do you want me to marry?" Jing Se restrained his tone when he thought of Hao Hao being in Fan Yue's hands.

"Why can't you marry?" Fan Yue said with a smile: "My boss just has incomplete memory, and it's not that he is inhumane. If you don't believe me, sister-in-law, I don't mind letting the boss sacrifice a night to inspect the goods for you first."

Jing Se was so angry that she picked up a flower goblet and threw it at Fan Yue.

Fan Yue was thrown into this way by the old prince Chu since he was a child. He didn't pay attention to such small tricks at all. He easily caught the flower goblet without moving his eyelids. Then he blinked at Jing Se and complained, " Sister-in-law, be gentle, if my boss likes it more, won't you be troubled if you are so rough?"

It was the first time for Jing Se to encounter such scoundrels, she uttered obscenities, which made her irrefutable, her face flushed red, she still couldn't find anything to say, so she could only continue to be angry, "Fan Yue, get out!"

"Hush—" Fan Yue sat still, holding the flower gu in his arms with one hand, and stretched the index finger of the other hand to his lips to signal Jing Se to keep silent.

Jing Se squinted her eyes, thinking that someone was coming from outside, but he might as well say immediately, "You can only use the word 'scroll' on the boss, and at that time, he will do whatever you want him to do with you." Get out, get out for as long as you want."

Looking up and seeing Jing Se coming in with a broom, Fan Yue was so frightened that he jumped up and ran outside holding the flower goblet, shouting as he ran, "Sister-in-law, I'm your uncle, don't mess around!"

After finally driving Fan Yue away, Su Ruoyu came again.

Jing Se was very surprised that this cousin would come to look for her in person.

Standing outside the corner door, Jing Se looked at Su Ruoyu and asked her, "Ruoyu, why are you here at this hour?"

Su Ruoyu came forward biting the corner of her lips, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, on the day of the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet, Fourth Master asked Qin Yao out of the city for a horse race. He came here to tell me this morning. In fact, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing." I don't know what to do, can you go with me?"
