The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 122

"I'm not very happy, but I found something today. Some people should be happy." Sima Xukong raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I found the thing you asked me to check today. Important clue, do you want to hear it?"

His eyes lit up, and Changsun Jingrong asked: "Since there is news, it's too early to tell! Then tell me what you heard."

Leaning forward slightly, staring straight into the bright eyes of the eldest grandson, Sima Xukong said: "Xu Zizheng's mother used to be a maid in the palace! Moreover, she is the most beloved court lady of Concubine Zhao!!"

His eyes narrowed slowly, and Changsun Jingrong asked, "Is this news accurate?"

"Of course, what is in my hands, can it be inaccurate? You are insulting my personality!" Sima Xukong said righteously, "Back then, Mrs. Xu had not been out of the cabinet, and she had been serving Concubine Zhao all the time. , until Concubine Zhao died of illness one day, and she disappeared. Originally, the first emperor wanted Mrs. Xu to be buried with Concubine Zhao, but she was nowhere to be found, so he gave up. Calculated in this way, almost 20 years have passed Years later, she reappeared now, and as Xu Zizheng's mother, this really does not make people doubt."

While speaking, Sima Xukong had already turned his eyes away, looked straight at Changsun Jingrong, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Actually, you already knew Xu Zizheng's identity, didn't you?"

What Sima Xukong said was very vague, which made Changsun Jingrong unable to figure out whether he was joking or serious.Turning his eyes around, he said, "Because it was just a speculation before, so I can't be sure. Now that I know the truth, I will still be a little shocked. But if you look carefully, you will find that Xu Zizheng is still somewhat similar to the current emperor, but before We can ignore them all."

"Then what are you going to do next? Report to the Empress Dowager?"

"Of course not," Changsun Jingrong rejected the suggestion, and said, "Just like the case of Carol, we have no evidence, and it is very likely that we will scare the snake after we say it. Now we need to stabilize Xu Zizheng and Xu Shikang, Find out their true purpose, so that they can be targeted."

"What does this have to do with Xu Shikang?"

Sima Xukong's words made the grandson Jingrong ponder for a while, and then said: "I said that your power of observation is too weak. Didn't you see that Xu Shikang treated Xu Zizheng quite a lot at several court banquets?" Take care? Xu Zizheng is just a newcomer in the court, while Xu Shikang is an important minister in the court. If there is no relationship between the two of them, why did I see Xu Zizheng when I was in the Xu Mansion last time? Every plant and tree in Xu's mansion is very familiar, and it definitely won't look like I've been there once or twice."

Eyes narrowed involuntarily, Sima Xukong approached the eldest grandson Jingrong, and asked: "Jingrong is still very concerned about Xu Zizheng's affairs, I believe these things can't be discovered overnight, you, since when did you find out?" You started to pay attention to Xu Zizheng?"

Taking a step back, Changsun Jingrong pretended to be calm and said: "I will pay attention to all the suspicious things around me. To survive in this environment, shouldn't we just listen to the six ways and see all directions? Is it possible, Do you still have to sit there honestly and wait for others to plot against you? If it were you, would you allow such unstable factors to infiltrate your life?"

"I will put all my energy on my husband-in-law, and I won't casually look at other men, especially that man, who still has bad intentions towards you!" Sima Xukong raised his jaw slightly, with a bag-grabbing expression, and raised his arms. Seriously.

Seeing that the man brought the topic to another place after only a few words, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help saying angrily: "Sima Xukong, we are discussing serious matters now, can you please stop messing around!"

"I'm not messing around, what I said is true! Jingrong, didn't you see that when Xu Zizheng looked at you, the look in his eyes was very wrong? I think, he must have something in his heart for you that he shouldn't have." idea!"

Reluctantly walking to the door, Changsun Jingrong pulled the door open, pointed to the outside and said, "Get out!"

Shrinking back in his seat, Sima Xukong shook his head and said, "I don't want it, I haven't finished talking yet! Didn't you just discuss how to form a relationship with Xu Zizheng?"

"But look at which of your words seems to be solving the problem? It's clearly making the problem more complicated! I'm stupid. I really thought you had a sex change, and you could sit down and discuss it seriously. The truth is It proves that you are not trustworthy at all!"

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong was really angry, Sima Xu quickly showed a flattering smile, and said, "Oh, it's just a joke, you don't have to be so serious. I just thought of it suddenly, in fact, it's not easy to make friends with Xu Zizheng." It's not difficult, isn't he still alone, why don't we marry him with a suitable girl?"

What Sima Xukong said made Changsun Jingrong pause for a moment, then closed the door, turned around and walked to Sima Xukong's side, and said in a cold voice: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will drive you out immediately!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't!" Sima Xukong waved his hands and said, "It's just that where can we find a girl of this age?"

Speaking of girls of the right age, there are really two Changsun Jingrong, one is Changsun Wanyue, and the other is Liu Shuyun.With the current status of the eldest grandson Jingrong, marrying the eldest grandson Wanyue is also worthy of Xu Zizheng's status, and if Aunt Jiao knows it, she will definitely agree.As for Liu Shuyun... This woman was interested in Xu Zizheng before, but now she has abandoned him. Even if she wants to regain her old love, she may not agree.Moreover, Changsun Jingrong doesn't want to see this pair of dogs and men get along well for a hundred years, let alone match these two.Thinking about it this way, Changsun Jingrong already had the answer in his heart.

"Wan Yue has also reached the age of marriage. It's time to find a marriage for her. When I returned home during the Chinese New Year, Aunt Jiao asked me to help Wan Yue find a good marriage. Now it seems that these two people are just a match made in heaven. couple?"

Seeing the smiling eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong asked, "Are you sure you want Wan Yue to marry?"

"Xu Zizheng hasn't noticed that we have noticed him yet, and now he takes the initiative to show his favor, and he will definitely agree." Changsun Jingrong smiled calmly, and said arrogantly, "No matter what Xu Zizheng and Xu Shikang plan, the support of allies They are all indispensable. They are still in the stage of planning. With the support of the prince, they will naturally be happy to succeed. Moreover, this move can also divide the influence of General Xue on you, and the empress dowager will also see you. Sincerity'. Thinking about it this way, the marriage between the two prefectures really serves multiple purposes."

Looking at Changsun Jingrong's smug look, Sima Xukong suddenly asked: "Do you hate Changsun Wanyue?"

Turning his eyes slightly, the eldest grandson smiled and said: "She is my own sister. She grew up together since she was a child. It's too late for pain. Why do you hate it? Even if Xu Zizheng is dangerous, if he controls it well, he will He can be used by us, besides, he has a handsome appearance and a docile conduct, so Wanyue will not suffer a lot if he marries him."

In fact, Changsun Jingrong feels that Wan Yue is not a perfect body, and it is almost impossible to marry into another rich family.But Xu Zizheng is different, he was born in a poor family, even if he is in an official position now, it is quite difficult to marry a daughter of everyone.Xu Zizheng cared about himself, so he might not care much about Wan Yue, so he thought of a brilliant way, maybe he could hide the fact that Wan Yue lost her body.And if Xu Zizheng dies unfortunately, then Wan Yue can return to the Changsun Mansion as a widow, and after the limelight passes, she can find a suitable family for her, and her secret will not be discovered.

Looking sideways at the change in Changsun Jingrong's expression, Sima Xukong didn't ask any more questions, but his smile was high and unpredictable, as if he knew something, and he seemed to be probing something.

Aunt Chang came to the prince's mansion according to the agreed time, and after Changsun Jingrong treated her well, she felt that staying in the mansion was really restrained, so she wanted to take Bihe out for a walk.

But before going out, Bihe hesitated, sometimes said that he forgot something and went back to look for it, and sometimes said that the carriage had been sent for repair and hadn't come back yet.

Bihe's abnormal appearance made eldest grandson Jingrong vigilant, and asked in a cold voice: "You girl, what's the matter?"

"Well, miss, it's freezing outside, let's stay in the palace, it's so warm, why go out to suffer from the cold." Bihe said with a flattering smile, "and the store has just opened , the business is deserted, there is nothing to take care of, there is really no need to go out and suffer from the cold."

"But I think the air is good, and it's good to go out for a walk. It's boring to be bored in the palace all day."

"Oh, it's cold and slippery outside, there's nothing new, and what if you fell down? The prince will feel distressed."

"That's it, then go to Qiao's house, let's go eat. Didn't Shan'er always say that her mother's cooking is delicious, so let's go and taste it."

Putting on a pretty face, Bihe said aggrievedly: "Miss, do you think the food cooked by the servant is not to your liking?"

"It's not that I think the food you cook is not delicious, but that Qiao Shan'er, who is hiding something, is not cute anymore."

Looking at the smiling grandson Jingrong, Bi He patted her head in frustration, sighing secretly that she still couldn't hide it from the young lady.But how should she say such words?This really stumped her.

With arms raised, Changsun Jingrong looked at Bi He and asked, "Is someone bullying you outside?"

"No, no, the slave is fine, how could he be bullied?"

"That's about me," Changsun Jingrong deduced naturally, "You don't want me to go out so much, it must be because you don't want me to see or hear anything. Tell me, are there any rumors that are not good for me this time? "

Licking her lower lip, Bi He said with some difficulty: "Miss, you are so powerful, you still found out. In fact... those are all rumors from the outside world, so don't take it to heart. That's it, Yesterday, when the maid was going out, I heard a joke in a teahouse. It was about the attack on the beautiful man in Miaojiang that day. The storyteller described the process vividly and vividly, which is very attractive. I couldn't help but stop and listen to a few more words. But while he was talking, he even made up the fact that you were robbed!"

Frowning slightly, Changsun Jingrong asked, "What did that storyteller talk about?"

"He said that after chasing the Miaojiang people, they found that your clothes were strangled and thrown in the cave. The lonely man and widow were in the same room, and the woman's clothes were strangled again. Everyone knew what happened. People, I don’t know how ambiguous the smile is! The slave girl was angry at the time, thinking how could this storyteller mislead others? Immediately, she wanted to go in to find the theory of the storyteller. But before she got close to the hall, she was caught The chap got kicked out. Why, it's really annoying to talk about!"

"Which teahouse did you go to?"

"The one in the south of the city is full of customers. We used to go there often."

full occupancy...

Muttering the name, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "It's only now that rumors have spread, and it's much slower than I thought. It seems that the person who wants to deal with me really put in a lot of effort. I know to start with public opinion first. I just don’t know what else they can think of to deal with me next?”

Seeing Changsun Jingrong's calm and breezy appearance, Bi He couldn't help but wonder: "Miss, aren't you angry? The slaves are very angry when they hear this, and want to break their necks!"

Covering his lips and smiling, Changsun Jingrong said: "You girl, when did you become so irritable? That storyteller was just ordered by others. Someone else wanted to make me look ugly. I don't bother to investigate. Who is slandering me maliciously, and instead making trouble with a storyteller, isn't that stupid?"

Scratching her own head, Bihe felt that Changsun Jingrong was talking about herself?But who made her stupid, if the lady hadn't suggested something, she would not have thought that there was someone behind the storyteller, so she asked: "Then lady, do we want to torture the storyteller? We can definitely find out from him. Order something!"

Knocking on Bihe's head, Changsun Jingrong said helplessly: "How many enemies can your master have in the capital? I said that you haven't figured it out yet?"

Covering her head, Bi He frowned and thought hard, and suddenly realized: "Ah, it's Ji Haitang! She must be the one who wants to bring down you, Miss, and that's why she came up with these unsavory methods!"

Changsun Jingrong sighed, shook his head and said, "Although the answer is wrong, at least it is close. Forget it, I can't ask you too high, otherwise I will torture myself."

Wrong answer again?Hey, if Shan'er was here, I would know the answer to Miss's charade.

Possessing her lips, Bi He said with some disappointment: "Then miss, do we still have to go out now?"

"Of course," Changsun Jingrong tightened the cloak on his body again, and said, "Could it be that just because of a few rumors, I'm going to be a shrinking turtle? That's really underestimated."

It has to be said that the power of rumors is still very great, but after a few days, when Changsun Jingrong appeared on the street again, many people had already pointed at him, and after being targeted by Changsun Jingrong, Immediately turn his gaze away.

Bihe felt sorry for her eldest grandson Jingrong, so she thought about going back home quickly, or going to her own shop, to avoid these hateful gazes.

But the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't take these teasing or contemptuous gazes to heart at all, and still wandered openly on the street, and would go in and take a look around when he saw a shop he was interested in.

At noon, Changsun Jingrong felt hungry, so she went to the restaurant she used to go to. As soon as she entered the restaurant, many diners stopped and turned their attention to Changsun Jingrong.

Looking around calmly, Changsun Jingrong saw that the place was almost full, turned around and was about to leave.And just as she turned around, she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

"princess?"

Youyou turned around, and Changsun Jingrong happened to see Zhang Liangmian who was in a hurry, nodded and smiled at him, and said, "What a coincidence, Boss Zhang is here too."

Zhang Liangmian could also feel the strange gazes from the people around him, so he said: "I have a private room over there, if the princess wants to show her face, why don't you go?"

"Alright." Following behind Zhang Liangmian, Changsun Jingrong walked unhurriedly.

After entering the private room, Zhang Liangmian hurriedly closed the door, frowned and said, "Why did the princess come out at this time?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Changsun Jingrong asked: "What serious crime have I committed that has reached the point where everyone is screaming and beating me, and I can't even get out?"

"That's not what I meant. I wonder if the princess has heard the recent rumors?"

Picking up a cup casually, Changsun Jingrong asked Bi He to pour tea for him, and then said slowly: "If it has something to do with that guy from Miao Jiang, then I have heard of it."

Seeing that Changsun Jingrong knew about this and could still be so indifferent, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "The princess doesn't know how extensive this matter is now, so she can be so leisurely! Just in the past three or two days, there have been a lot of unreasonable rumors in the capital. The rumors that are beneficial to you, and the matter of the Miao Jiang man, is just one of them!"

The eldest grandson Jingrong couldn't help asking curiously: "Oh, do I have other things to make others spread rumors? You should tell me and listen."

"I don't know what's wrong recently. There have been a lot of rumors that are not good for the princess. Some of them are old-fashioned, and they are used to spread rumors. Just like you participated in the Women's Poetry Club before, the reason why you retired early was not because Your body is weak, but it is because the Ninth Prince has taken a fancy to you and sent you to a golden house in advance! He also said that your business is so arrogant and domineering that even the elders and relatives of the clan don’t pay attention to it, and you will do anything for your own benefit! Oh! By the way, there is another point that you are jealous. You have not been pregnant for more than half a year, and you still don’t allow the prince to marry a wife and take a concubine. You look like a shrew. Princess, these rumors are aimed at you everywhere , have you offended anyone recently?"

"I can offend no one but those who want to replace me." Changsun Jingrong said while drinking tea leisurely.

Frowning and pondering for a moment, Zhang Liangmian said: "This matter should not be so simple. Jealous of your seat, there are so many people in the capital, why did they start attacking you until now?"
