Ji's death should have been a major event, but in the Jiang mansion, it was not as important as an aunt Hu. But in any case, in just a few days, two people died in succession in the Jiang mansion, and the bloody truth of the past was stripped away to the public. The atmosphere in the Jiang mansion was really not light. This winter is also colder than usual.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai seem to want to compensate Jiang Li for her past regrets. They have nothing to do with Jiang Li. Only the pearls and emeralds around the old lady came to send clothes and silver several times. Jiang Li treated them gently one by one, looking like there was no estrangement, but old lady Jiang sighed deeply after learning Jiang Li's reaction.

Ji Shi was to be buried, but it was said to be a sudden illness and died overnight. No matter how the outsiders pointed out, or wondered or puzzled, as Ji shuran's mother's family, the Ji family didn't speak, obviously acquiesced to this fact.

So although people in Yanjing city would also interrupt after dinner to say whether there was a secret about Ji shuran's death, because there was no evidence, they would change their words.

Ji shuran's coffin was buried after seven days. For seven days, only Jiang Youyao kept vigil for Ji shuran. Jiang Bingji is too young. Jiang Li is Ji shuran's nominal daughter, but Ji shuran killed her biological mother. How can she wake for the enemy who killed her mother? As for the rest of the yuan family, Ji shuran carried so many lives and killed his previous wife. Whoever kept vigil for such a murderer was looking at old lady Jiang.

Jiang Youyao endured humiliation and kept vigil for Ji shuran alone. At first, when she learned that Ji shuran had died, Jiang Youyao wanted to go to old lady Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai to argue, but the two people didn't see her at all. It was the golden flower beside Jiang Youyao who reminded her that this was what old lady Jiang meant. Jiang Youyao realized the truth. At the same time, her heart also floated deep fear.

The Jiang family can kill her mother and her mother without hesitation! Fear triumphed over sadness. Jiang Youyao didn't even have the heart to cry out for Ji shuran. At first, she wanted to place all her hopes on the Ji family. Only waiting for the Ji family to come to Jiang's house, let the Ji family take her away. But the Ji family didn't appear at all after Ji shuran's death.

Never even offered condolences.

At that moment, Jiang Youyao really understood that her mother and herself were abandoned by the Ji family. From then on, in the Jiang family, she can only rely on herself.

These things came to Jiang Li's ears through tong'er's mouth. Jiang Li was not surprised by Jiang Youyao's behavior. Ji shuran thought everything for Jiang Youyao, and naturally formed the habit of relying on others' help once something happened. But I'm afraid the Ji family will disappoint her this time. In order to maintain the relationship with the Jiang family, at least on the surface, the Ji family will not do anything to redress injustice for Ji shuran.

Ji shuran has been buried, Jiang Youyao is temporarily silent, and nothing happens in the house. Jiang Li still went to Ye Fu every day to see situ Jiujiu prick Xue Huaiyuan. Although it was still not improving, at least she had a thought in her heart.

But on this day, the rare calm was broken.

Jiang Li just got up and let tong'er comb her hair, planning to visit Ye Fu. Qingfeng suddenly hurried into the inner room and said, "girl, something's wrong!"

Tong'er's hand shook, and the hairpin didn't hang on to her hair. Her hair, which had been combed quickly, spread again, and her black hair hung behind her head. Jiang Li didn't care about it, but looked at Qingfeng and asked, "what's the matter?"

"The maidservant went out to buy goods today, and the street was full of stories about Ji's death!"

"Just say it," Tong Erqi said, "didn't someone say it long ago?"

"No," Qingfeng's words were a little unclear, "but they said that Ji Shi died because he had an affair with others and gave birth to evil seeds. Now the scandal has been uncovered, and our master did it himself!"

"What?" Jiang Li frowned and stood up.

"Isn't that the truth?" Bai Xue was stunned when she smelled the words with hot tea. "The house didn't want people to say this outside. How did it get out?"

"No matter how it gets out, it should be good for us." Tong'er said happily, "originally, our girl was wronged. Although Ji Shi died, the unwarranted accusation on her body still exists. Now, the truth is revealed. Everyone knows that the girl was framed for killing her mother and brother. Our girl is innocent."

"It's innocent," Bai Xue shook her head, "but in this way, people in the house will think that the girl said it."

Tong'er was stunned, and Qingfeng said, "that's the reason!"

"Wronged!" Tong'er shouted, "we really didn't say a word!"

Jiang Li thought.

Although she really wanted to clear Miss Jiang er's name, she also knew that everything should be considered from the overall situation, and the domestic scandal should not be publicized. If this matter was spread to all the streets and alleys, it would not be good for Miss Jiang er's reputation, but also hinder Jiang Yuanbai's official career. If Jiang Yuanbai falls, the Jiang family will be eaten by others. So she never intended to talk about Ji shuran.

She didn't say it. Who said it? The servant's deed of betrayal in the house is in the hands of the master. Although the old lady is old, she will certainly take care of the servant's obedience to this kind of thing, no matter coercion or inducement. Besides, it's important for people to protect their lives. Everyone knows that if they say it, they will die.

Who is it?

Before thinking of a reason, suddenly I heard the scream of the bright moon outside: "miss three, you can't go in."

Then, Jiang Youyao's irritable voice sounded, "get out!" It seems to push down the moon.

Jiang Youyao rushed in angrily.

Jiang Li stood up and looked at her.

When Jiang Youyao saw Jiang Li, her eyes tingled. Jiang Li is wearing a plain green silk soft satin embroidered jacket and skirt, with long hair half combed and two pearls on her ears, which makes her face beautiful, white and beautiful.

Her heart immediately floated with the silver flower and said to her, and the laughter of those outside: "Miss Jiang San is not also Ji's adulterer? Is Miss Jiang er the only legitimate daughter of the Jiang family's big room? I'll say, Miss Jiang Er looked much better than miss three at the school six arts that day!"

If this words were put in the past, Jiang Youyao would only sniff, but now, she is sad to find that she can't refute this words. Unknowingly, Jiang Li has become a latecomer. She has grabbed Jiang Yuanbai's attention and her grandmother's favoritism. She compares herself. Now, Jiang Li is the first daughter, but she is called an adulterer outside!

How unfair!

"Is it important for the third sister to rush about like this?" Jiang Li asked.

"Stop pretending to be disgusting," Jiang Youyao sneered. "You let go of all the rumors outside. Your father and grandmother clearly said that this matter should not be spread out. You unexpectedly made this matter known to everyone, making the yuan family a laughing stock. Jiang Li, what are your intentions?!"

Jiang Li shook her head, "it's not me."

The sarcasm on Jiang Youyao's face was even worse: "it's not you? Who else could it be? In the whole Jiang family, only you hate me and my mother the most! It's you who want to destroy my life, so you let it out. You ruined me! You ruined me!"

"I said it wasn't me. If I wanted to say it, I would say it that day. I wouldn't wait until after the burial." Jiang Li said, "besides, it's Ji shuran who makes the yuan family a laughing stock. It's not me who ruined you, it's Ji shuran. It all falls on me. Sorry, I don't have that much skill."

Jiang Youyao is not Jiang Li's opponent when it comes to verbal murder without blood. In a few words, Jiang Youyao, who was irritated, was even more jealous. She stared at Jiang Li and muttered, "I'm going to kill you..." so she rushed over!

In this room, there is still a snow with great strength. While Jiang Youyao pounced on Bai Xue, she put the tea cup in her hand and rushed over to block Jiang Li. Bai Xue is taller than Jiang Youyao. She grabs Jiang Youyao's hand. Jiang Youyao is twisted by Bai Xue. She rushes to the side of the golden flower and silver flower angrily and says, "what are you waiting for? Grab this bitch for me!"

Jinhua and Yinhua came back to their senses and rushed up, and tonger was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Calling qingfengmingyue to make a mess with these people, Jiang Li couldn't cry or laugh. She quickly stepped out of the house, called two women to separate them, and asked someone to find old lady Jiang.

Old lady Jiang's people came quickly. Seeing that Jiang Youyao's clothes were untidy, but Jiang Li's clouds were light, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. To Jiang Li, old lady Jiang asked them to go to the Wanfeng hall.

Jiang Youyao vented at this moment, and old lady Jiang's people dared not be presumptuous in front of her. Even if I didn't dare, I had to restrain myself until I came to Wanfeng hall. But Jiang Yuanbai was also there.

"Dad." Jiang Youyao gave a timid cry.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Youyao, and his heart was complicated.

He is not a saint, and his hatred for Ji shuran will inevitably not implicate Jiang Youyao. But seeing Jiang Youyao's frightened appearance, it's hard to harden her heart. Jiang Youyao grew up spoiled by the Jiang family. When was she so timid? Are his two daughters finally going to go the same way, disappointed with his father and completely alienated from the Jiang family?

Old lady Jiang had learned the whole story from her mother-in-law. Looking at Jiang Youyao, she angrily said, "three girls, you are too much. You learn the rules like this on weekdays, and even murder your sisters!"

"Grandma." Jiang Youyao's knees softened and knelt down crisp, "You Yao is also impulsive. But... Now there is talk about her mother... Her mother's death everywhere outside. It's all over the air. As a daughter, you Yao knows that her mother made an unforgivable mistake, so she didn't intercede for her mother. But her mother has left and paid her due price. Why don't you even let go of the dead? What's the mood of being a child? Father, please feel the same!"

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Youyao. It seemed that Jiang Youyao had grown up after Ji shuran's death. At least she would use bitter meat to find others' sympathy.

"Moreover, the Jiang family was also injured when the mother's story was spread. What would others think of the Jiang family? Now everyone outside said that her father was lax in managing the family, and the Jiang family was in a miasma. The second sister," she looked at Jiang Li, tears pouring down, and kowtowed several heads to Jiang Li, "You Yao knows she can't make up for the damage of the second sister, but please don't discredit the Jiang family any more. As long as you can let go of the Jiang family, you Yao is willing to do anything!"

Tong'er listened angrily. At first, she thought these three young ladies were brainless, and now it seems that they should not be underestimated. At least this pretending Kung Fu is exactly the same as Ji shuran. It's no wonder that like mother, like daughter. Everyone must be amazed at this poor look. At present, Jiang Li seems aggressive and innocent.

Jiang Li said, "third sister, I didn't do it."

"Who else would there be without you?" Jiang Youyao sobbed, "only you hate your mother the most. You want to clear your grievances. Only you can enter and leave the house freely every day..."

Jiang Li goes to Ye's house every day, and Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang are ashamed of Jiang Li because of the previous incident, and they don't hold Jiang Li, but they have become Jiang Youyao's "evidence" at this moment.

"Although I have grievances against my father and the yuan family, I'm not going to drag the yuan family into the water." Jiang Li said calmly, "although saying this can solve my grievance, it will put the yuan family at a very disadvantageous position. In this way, it won't do me any good." Jiang Li smiled, "I know the sadness of the third sister very well, but no matter how sad it is, we should also weigh the pros and cons and don't act impulsively."

She spoke so frankly about the yuan family that old lady Jiang and Yuan Bai Jiang were stunned. Then, what Jiang Li said complicated their hearts. Weighing the pros and cons, for the sake of the yuan family, this is a good thing, but Jiang Li's words are too rational, too cold, too "home" feeling.

But the more she was like this, the more guilty Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang were to her.

Jiang Li walked to Jiang Youyao and reached out to help Jiang Youyao up. Jiang Youyao subconsciously shrank back, trying to avoid Jiang Li's hand. Seen by Jiang Yuanbai, Jiang Yuanbai frowned slightly. Seeing this, Jiang Youyao had to bite her teeth and put her hand in Jiang Li's palm.

"Three younger sisters," Jiang Li lifted her up and said, "your mother has paid a price for the mistake she made at the beginning, no matter whether the price is enough or not, but the person has passed away, and it's meaningless to talk about him. This matter should be exposed, and I never thought I wouldn't let go. Moreover, watching my mother leave, as a daughter's pain, others don't know, but in front of me, how can you say I don't know?" "Of course I know," she said faintly

Of course she knows, because ye Zhenzhen was killed by Ji shuran.

In a word, Jiang Yuanbai and old lady Jiang couldn't think of Jiang Li any more. Jiang Yuanbai only asked, "ah Li, this is really not what you said?"

"Father can thoroughly investigate, it's not me."

Jiang Yuanbai nodded, "OK. Today's matter is regarded as a misunderstanding. I will find out who is behind it." He looked at Jiang Li: "if it's all right, go back to the yard and have a rest." In his words, he even courted carefully.

Jiang Youyao stared at the scene in front of her. She suddenly found that neither old lady Jiang nor Yuanbai could do anything about Jiang Li. It seems that no matter what Jiang Li does, they will compromise.

Yes, compromise. Because Jiang Li can always easily arouse their guilt and know their bottom line, so she puts forward the biggest requirements in the bottom line.

Jiang Youyao is unwilling to say anything more. Old lady Jiang has coldly ordered people around her to send Jiang Youyao back to yaoguangzhu.

This is to put her under house arrest.

Jiang Youyao was shocked and didn't understand why she was punished like this because she was clearly the victim. She wanted to ask Jiang Yuanbai to arouse her sympathy for herself, but Jiang Yuanbai just looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression. Jiang Youyao looked at it, and the fire in her eyes gradually went out.

Without saying a word, she let Mrs. Jiang's people "send" her back to the yard.

But she knew in her heart that she couldn't stay with the yuan family. There will be no one standing beside her. She and Jiang Li are dead enemies and are doomed to never die. However, as long as she conflicts with Jiang Li, there is no doubt that everyone in the house will stand on Jiang Li's side.

The position of Shoufu Qianjin disappeared with the dead Ji shuran and could not be found again.

She must find another way to live.

……

At the other end, Jiang Li, who returned to fangfeiyuan, sat down in his study.

Qingfengmingyue was busy cleaning up the mess that had just been fighting with Jiang Youyao's servant girl. Snow white and tong'er are busy, but Jiang Li's heart is not as calm as it looks on her face.

Seeing Jiang Youyao's appearance, it's obvious that she doesn't know about this matter. Jiang Youyao didn't spread it out, nor did she spread it out by herself. In addition to the Jiang family, only the servants of the Jiang family were present that day. Now Ji shuran's affair with others has been spread, and there is no room for turning around. It is also inevitable that the Jiang family claims to be damaged, as well as the official career of Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping. No matter how we look at this matter, it is harmful to the Jiang family.

In the whole yuan family, it seems that only Jiang Li is the most suspected, because he wants to clear his guilt. But after excluding this point, will it be the people who want to deal with the yuan family who deliberately leaked the matter through Ji shuran.

Who could it be? Right Xiang Li's family? Princess Yongning? Become king? Or someone else hiding in the dark? If it is these people, there may be their spies among the servants of the Jiang family. You should pay more attention to your every move in the Jiang family from now on.

If it's not these people, but the insiders of the yuan family, we should pay more attention to them. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to prevent domestic thieves. If there is a problem from the government, and if the government and the outside cooperate, the Jiang family is afraid of great difficulties.

Jiang Li felt a little confused and couldn't help but press it. Seeing this, tong'er thought she was worried about it, Come over and comfort: "don't worry too much, girl. I'm not afraid of the crooked shadow. Even if the master makes people check, I can't find the girl's head. Although it's inexplicable, the girl is also blessed with misfortune. Now people in Yanjing know that the girl was wronged. Anyway, it's too big to blame the girl."

"Besides, compared with others, Ji family talents should have a headache now." Tong'er was a little gloating, "if something happened to her girl, the reputation of all the women in the Ji family will be affected. Let alone those who have not been released from the cabinet, even the Ji family women who have married as women will be pointed out by others. Isn't the empress of Li Bin Ji's sister? If your majesty hears this, he may not think so of Li Bin."

Li Bin?!

Jiang Li suddenly stood up, startled tong'er and said, "girl, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Li didn't speak, and her face changed. She always felt that she had missed something, but these days she didn't take it to heart. At this moment, hearing tong'er mention it, she suddenly remembered it. There is another key figure about Taoist Chongxu, Li Bin! Jiang Yuanbai caught Taoist Chongxu. He also said that he would tell emperor Hong Xiaodi about Taoist Chongxu frankly.

If nothing had happened, Emperor Hong Xiao should know that Taoist Chongxu was a liar and that Li Bin's case of pessimism was false. But now it seems that there is no news in the palace. Doesn't emperor Hong Xiao know that Taoist Chong Xu is a liar? Or did the palace hide the news? But if you hide it, at least Ji's family will ask Jiang Yuanbai for love. But since Ji shuran's death, the Ji family hasn't been here once, so they obviously don't want to be involved in this matter anymore.

The truth became confusing for a moment, and Jiang Li didn't understand it. She was in the Jiang family, and it was difficult to know what happened in the palace. Can't help it, Jiang Li's hand touched the whistle in her sleeve, and there was a shortcut in front of her... However, will Ji Xuan let Zhao Ke tell her?

It's not a trivial matter after all.

……

When Jiang Li thought of her concubines, the concubines in the palace were not very stable these days.

Ji shuran suddenly died.

The last time Li Bin met Ji shuran, she was still discussing with Ji shuran how to use Taoist Chongxu to deal with Jiang Li. After leaving that day, there was no news of Ji shuran. Not only that, Taoist Chongxu also lost the news. Li Bin felt a little uneasy in her heart, but the people she sent out had no results. The Jiang family was guarded like an iron barrel, and no news came out.

After waiting for another two days, the news of Ji shuran's sudden illness and death came. Li Bin was surprised, doubting what had happened, and wrote to Ji Jia. But Ji Yanlin didn't say anything in his reply, and didn't let Li Bin go to the Jiang family to offer condolences. Li Bin was sure that something must have happened. What was strange was the attitude of the Ji family. I heard that the Ji family did not participate in the Jiang family's condolences. Li Bin was even more upset.

Because of something in her heart, Li Bin simply called herself ill these days and rarely went out of the temple. She said that she hadn't recovered a few days ago. Hong Zhu, the servant girl of Li Bin, came in from the outside and trotted to Li Bin and said, "madam, something happened outside."

"What is it?" The concubine sat up.

"There is another inside story about Mrs. Ji's death." Hong Zhu told Ji shuran the news she heard from the outside, and said, "now the discussion in the streets is all about this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid your majesty also knows."

Hearing the news at first, Li Bin couldn't recover for a while. It was a long time before she found her mind.

How could Li Bin not know about Ji shuran's idea? When Chen Ji came to the palace every three or five times, he always said it to her. For Ji shuran, a little sister, Li Bin didn't take much notice at that time. Ji shuran was not as strong as Chen Ji's, but ye Zhenzhen and Liu Wencai made Li Bin look at her with new eyes. In the end, there is still some ruthlessness in his bones.

But this appreciation, now implicated to their own time, has become disgust.

"How did it get out!" Li Bin angrily said.

If Ji shuran had an accident, the whole family members of the Ji family would claim to be damaged, even her. When people see her, they will say, look, she is Ji shuran's sister. She has the same blood in her bones. Will she be so vicious in the future. Being in the palace, she was constantly fighting openly and secretly. I'm afraid there are countless people who can take advantage of this to bring her down.

Wait, how did Ji shuran die? Was Jiang Yuanbai executed because the scandal was exposed? So why did the scandal come to light? Counting the time, it was not long after Taoist Chongxu's house exorcised evil spirits?

Was Taoist Chongxu found to be a liar? Li Bin is wringing her veil. If this happens, she will be the first to be unlucky! The emperor will not allow a person who deceives himself to live in the world!

Just thinking, the palace maid outside came to report that the emperor was coming.

Li Bin hurriedly stayed and got up to meet her.

She lowered her head and could see a corner of the bright yellow dragon robe from the corner of her eyes. The Dragon Robe stopped in front of her. In the past, Li Bin had great courage. She was not as respectful to Hong Xiaodi as other concubines in the palace. She could tease Hong Xiaodi, so she didn't have much fear of facing the Dragon Robe. It is this fearlessness that makes her the most special one in the eyes of emperor Hong Xiao.

But today, the bright yellow color is like a talisman. For the first time, she also has a fear of imperial power. She is humble and fragile. When she lowered her head, she only felt that time had passed very long. I don't know what fate is waiting for me.

After a long time.

When the cold sweat began to seep from Li Bin's forehead, a familiar voice sounded and said, "excuse me." A pair of hands helped her up.

Hong Xiaodi smiled and looked at her, just like the spoiled and handsome in the past, and Li Bin's heart gradually came down - looking at Hong Xiaodi's attitude towards her, it seemed that it had not been affected by rumors outside.

I don't know about Taoist Chongxu anymore.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi stretched out his hand to pin the long hair scattered in front of her back, and naturally touched her sweating forehead, frowning and saying, "why did Li Bin sweat so much? It's such a cold day."

The concubine smiled and said, "maybe she is still a little weak and hasn't recovered."

Emperor Hong Xiaodi nodded and ordered his servants to let the imperial doctor come and feel the pulse for Li Bin. Seeing that emperor Hong Xiaodi had the same attitude as before, Li Bin was completely relieved.

In fact, as long as the matter of Taoist Chongxu is not known by Emperor Hong Xiao, Ji shuran alone is not enough to completely shake her position. Li Bin can use other methods to show that she has no knowledge of this matter, and even use bitter meat tricks.

As long as she can completely separate herself from this matter and turn herself into a cheated person.

OK, OK. As if she had walked on the road of life and death, Li Bin showed a real smile and gently leaned her head on the emperor's shoulder.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi patted her hand, placating, but the eyes were extremely cold.
