Chapter 392 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (14)
"Don't you think it's strange? She usually loves my concubine, but she can do it at a critical moment of life and death. Even I was squeezed behind by her, and there was Jiang Lai, who was her biological child. How could she do it at that time? Didn’t you see what was done?”
The Marquis was silent for a long time.
Of course he saw it.
There was indeed a problem. Jiang Yu and Jiang Lai were born on the same day and in the same place. Po Wen at that time was the most trusted person of Mrs. Hou, and there were maids around to guard them, so nothing should go wrong.
"Do you suspect that your child is not born to you? You don't even think about it, if she is not your child, how could she have the same disease as you? The imperial doctor said that it was carried in the womb."
It was precisely because of this that Mrs. Hou never had any doubts.
She was in poor health, and it was a disease she carried in her womb, while Yu'er, like her, had bad health and bones since she was born, and it was also a lung disease that required constant medication to nurse her back to health.
On the other hand, Jiang Lai has never seen a doctor, and he has never heard of any physical problems since he was a child.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
"It's just that you are overthinking it. Concubine Zhao may just show off in front of you now. Go to sleep."
Is it really so?
On the second day, she couldn't help but think too much. Jiang Yu, who got up early every day to practice piano, was now bedridden and the doctor came to see her.
"It's still the same illness. Lung-heat, cough, and difficulty breathing. I'm afraid it's the fright that caused this. Let's take medicine and recuperate for a few days."
Mrs. Hou was so worried that she stayed by Jiang Yu's side from morning to night, still blaming herself for doubting her biological daughter. If she hadn't been in poor health, why would her child have to suffer like this?
After that, Mrs. Hou personally sent the doctor away, and the doctor ordered.
"I have been prescribing medicines for the young lady to replenish her body before. I am afraid that the young lady has not taken them, otherwise she would not have a sudden relapse."
"Didn't eat? How could you not eat?"
"Hey, it's not my place to say this, but it's okay not to say it now, because the precious medicinal materials have been saved for you, madam, and that's why the lung disease has worsened now."
Mrs. Hou's eyes turned red immediately after hearing this.
The Hou Mansion was defeated, and all the valuables in the house were taken away. Although she was short of money, she never expected that Jiang Yu would save all the medicine for her to take!
"Silly boy, what a stupid boy..."
At this time, Mrs. Hou was filled with guilt and worry, and kept crying while guarding Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu woke up faintly, looked at Madam Hou, and said weakly.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"Silly boy, the doctor has told me that you must never do such stupid things again in the future!"
Jiang Yu sat up, lowered her eyes and sighed.
"If I had known this, it would have been better if I had married her in the first place. In this case, General Tie would definitely help our Marquis Mansion clear away its grievances."
Mrs. Hou wiped away her tears.
"Don't think too much. The Hou family can't rely on selling their legitimate daughter to seek peace. Besides, Jiang Lai is already married. With her here, General Tie will definitely help."
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and coughed weakly.
"I saw General Tie with my own eyes yesterday, and I'm just worried about his impartiality. After all, it was me he wanted to marry at the beginning. Now that Jiang Lai has married me, I'm just afraid that he will be angry with the Marquis Mansion."
Mrs. Hou's face darkened.
"That's why Jiang Lai is useless! Since she is already his bed partner, even if Tie Yi doesn't want to see her, he will still take into account the situation of her mother's family. Don't worry, I will pick up Concubine Zhao in a few days. I will ask Hou Let me mention this to him again.”
Jiang Yu frowned.
She is not optimistic about Jiang Lai. After all, Tie Yi is an iron-blooded general who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He has experienced so many lives and deaths and can still be low-key and cautious in front of His Majesty's favor. I'm afraid such a person will not Because a woman changes her principles.
The affairs of the Hou Mansion had to be settled by her personally.
"The Spring Hunting Day will be in one month, and the Minister of Dali Temple will also be there. In addition, His Majesty, General Iron and a group of civil and military ministers will go to Huahan Mountain to enjoy the flowers. At that time, we will find an opportunity to get close to the Minister of Dali Temple."
Mrs. Hou was a little worried.
"The Minister of Dali Temple, Gao Yuan, is the most ruthless. Will he listen to you then?"
"He didn't listen, so I forced him to listen."
At this time, Jiang Lai, who had already washed up and was ready to go to bed, heard Chunyue knocking on the door.
"Madam, please help me. Madam, please help me."
Tie Yi had already undressed and took off his belt. Finally, Jiang Lai was in a good mood and had the opportunity to start again. Unexpectedly, something happened outside before he finished taking off his clothes.
Jiang Lai directly opened his hand on his waist, put on his clothes and stood up to open the door.
Chunyue knelt at the door, her face swollen.
"Madam, Miss Xu said that the troupe was hired by the slave, so she wants to punish the slave. The slave is unjust!"
After saying that, Xu Ruling had already led people to the door.
"You still dare to run away, even my wife can't protect you now!"
After speaking, she looked towards Jiang Lai.
"Madam, she has already admitted that the troupe that Chunyue hired was full of assassins, because she caused the old lady's birthday banquet to be ruined. If such slaves are not punished, the general's palace will be in chaos."
< br>
As she said this, she ordered the guards to come forward and take the person.
Chun Yue grabbed the hem of Jiang Lai's skirt and cried for mercy.
Jiang Lai glanced at her.
"Whether the General's Mansion is in chaos or not is not up to you. Chunyue, get up. Didn't you say that you were wronged? It just so happens that the General is here today and I am also here. I will give you a chance to talk about where you are wronged."< br>
Xu Ruling's eyes turned cold.
"Madam, I won't say anything if you always want to overwhelm others. Now that she has made such a big mistake, you, the master, still want to show favoritism. From now on, she can do whatever she wants. Even the old lady It’s all out of control!”
Seeing that Xu Ruling was so eager to kill Chun Yue, Jiang Lai was not what she wanted.
"It's my wife's turn to interrupt here! Chunyue, say."
Xu Ruling's face was ugly, but her eyes were fixed on Tie Yi. She didn't believe that the general could indulge Jiang Lai so much in just a few days!
It's a pity that her eyes were sore from staring, but Tie Yi didn't even look at it.
"Madam, when you asked me to go to this opera troupe, I had already booked a very famous opera troupe in the capital to celebrate the old lady's birthday. But when I went to the accounting office to collect the money, Miss Xu said that she had already found one. At that time, the servant did not dare to go any further. What to say, I chose the people Miss Xu found.”
After speaking, Chunyue looked at Xu Ruling with red eyes.
"Miss Xu found the people in the troupe. Even if there are assassins, the general still needs to ask Miss Xu!"
Chunyue had Jiang come to support her, and she was confident enough. In order to protect herself, she didn't care about Xu Ruling's identity. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her!
Xu Ruling scolded loudly with a cold face.
"Nonsense! The dirty water has been poured on me, why should I take the trouble to take over the job assigned to you!" (End of Chapter)
