It was after Jiang Yixi married into the Meng family that Shui Lu told her several secrets about the big family, including this incident, in order to curry favor with her. Only then did she find out that it was a secret meeting between Jiang Jin and a girl from Aunt Jiang. Aunt Jiang knew that the girl

Afraid of jumping into the well. In order not to affect Jiang Jin's reputation, Mrs. Jiang came up with the bad idea of ​​using Jiang Xun to top the tank...

Thinking of those past events, Jiang Yixi felt so angry that her chest hurt.

This is how orphans are bullied!

Mrs. Jiang is evil, Jiang Jin and his wife help the evildoers, the old lady and Uncle Jiang know the truth but accompany them to act... Maybe the third room also knows the truth, but cannot tell it, so he chooses to stand by and watch.

I was even more confused. When Jiang Xun was most isolated and helpless, I didn't help him or trust him. Who was Jiang Xun? He was his biological brother. He was just thirteen years old. I should have protected him, but he let him suffer.

So many grievances.

Now that Qin's mother was serving Jiang Xun, she would not necessarily let him burn paper in the garden late at night, but Jiang Yixi was still worried. While not letting Jiang Xun get close to her, she did another thing.

She held back her tears, feeling so depressed that she took a few deep breaths.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Grandma Wu asked.

Jiang Yixi shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little hot."

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were all opened, but it was still unbearably hot.

The big cattail leaf fan in Nanny Wu's hand fanned a little faster. She was a little puzzled that the girl had already become cold-hearted towards the old lady, so she ran back to the capital to celebrate her birthday despite the heat.

It was already the third time they arrived at Jiang Mansion, and all the guests had left.

Uncle Jiang and Mr. Jiang San both took leave and were chatting and joking with the old lady in Ruyi Hall.

Jiang Yixi went in, kowtowed to the old lady three times, and said, "I wish my grandma may be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."

The old lady smiled and asked, "I heard from San'er that that pot of orchids was given to you by Mr. Meng?"

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Yes. The old Duke cherishes that my brother and I have no father, and occasionally sends some flowers and plants to the village."

Mrs. Jiang asked with a smile, "I heard that Prince Meng was also recuperating in Mengjiazhuang. Xi Yatou must be familiar with him."

This doesn't sound good.

Jiang Yixi was already angry with the eldest lady and was not polite with her words. She sneered and said, "Look at what the eldest lady said, apart from going to Zhaoming Temple to offer incense, I just copy scriptures and read books in Zhuangzi. Even if I want to get to know unrelated people, I can't."

Time and opportunity."

The old lady was also dissatisfied with what her eldest daughter-in-law said. No matter how much she cherished the girl, she was also a girl from the Jiang family. She had a bad reputation, which affected all the girls in the Jiang family. Besides, she also hoped that Jiang Yixi could really maintain a good relationship with Mr. Meng.

, which will be of great benefit to the future of both sons.

She glared at the eldest lady. She wanted to curse but felt that she wanted to save face for her eldest son and grandson, so she couldn't scold him in public.

He could only say, "Xi girl is sensible and sensible. She knows what she can and can't do. How could she be familiar with my husband? Mr. Meng is an elder and has helped his eldest son and third son a lot. He occasionally fulfills his filial piety, which is also

Just as it should be.”

Mrs. Jiang blushed and said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law also cares about the girl. Care will lead to chaos, and asking questions is urgent."

Jiang Yixi ignored the eldest lady and smiled with the old lady, "My husband likes sweets. Sometimes when Zhuangzi makes snacks, he will send someone to give some to his old man. He likes it very much. When my brother comes to Zhuangzi, he will also let us

Go to Mengjiazhuang to play and guide my younger brother in martial arts."

Jiang Xun also smiled and said, "Not only did he guide me in martial arts training, but he also taught me military strategies, which benefited me a lot."

The third master said, "Xun'er must cherish this opportunity. How many military generals wanted to ask me how to fight, but they never got the chance. Of course, that includes me." After saying that, he stroked his beard and laughed twice.

Jiang Xun said solemnly, "Yes, my nephew will bear in mind the teachings of his third uncle."

Jiang Yixi looked at the young boy, he was much calmer than before.

The old lady nodded happily, and her eyes softened a little when she looked at Jiang Xun.

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, they went to the side room to eat. For the first time, the old lady had someone scoop out a bowl of Longjing bamboo and fungus soup for Jiang Yixi to drink. This was the first time that a second wife had received this treatment.

After dinner, everyone went back to their respective courtyards. Jiang Yixi and Jiang Yirou walked back hand in hand. They whispered to each other, and there were a few chuckles from time to time.

During the days of Zhuangzi, Jiang Yixi asked Jiang Xun to bring things to Jiang Yirou several times, including two Ruyi Tuanfans and a jasmine flower core bamboo pillow. These three items were given by Li Zhenbao and made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The best things are second to none.

, the key person who gave the gift was Princess Zhenbao.

Judging from the attitude of the third master and the third wife towards their siblings, we know that they have accepted this favor and are more willing to have a good relationship with Jiang Yixi.

Jiang Xun followed them. He had something to say to his sister.

When they arrived at the gate of Zhuoyuan, Jiang Yirou wanted to follow him to play, but when she saw Jiang Xun coming, she knew that the siblings wanted to talk in private, so she had no choice but to go back to her own yard.

Jiang Xun talked about the affairs in the house, and then said, "Sister, tomorrow is my mother's thirty-second birthday. When it gets later, let's go burn paper for my mother in the garden. I also wrote a letter to my mother,

Burn it for her together."

Mr. Hu didn't want the old lady to see him, so he would burn paper for her secretly.

Jiang Yixi asked, "Does Mother Qin agree that you go to the back garden to burn paper at night?"

Jiang Xun shook his head and said, "Mother Qin didn't want to. She said that I was a half-grown boy and it was not good to go to the back garden late at night. She asked me to burn it in my yard. But I didn't want to. The back garden was empty and there were few people and there were more paper money.

It’s easy for my mother to receive it. My sister just happened to be back, so we’ll go together.”

Jiang Yixi was very satisfied with Qin's mother's thoughtfulness and said, "I went to Zhaoming Temple two days ago to burn incense for my mother, and also copied scriptures and burned them to her."

Jiang Xun is very stubborn, "My sister's fever is my filial piety, and I want to do my best to fulfill my filial piety."

Jiang Yixi pulled him up and said, "Let's go now, why wait until nightfall."

"Grandma won't be happy if she finds out."

"There's nothing we can do if she's not happy. It doesn't make sense for us to show filial piety to our mother and then look at other people's faces."

Jiang Xun asked Shuiling to go to the outer courtyard to find Qin's mother to get paper money, and she and Jiang Yixi walked to the garden.

At this time, the sky is not yet dark, but the sunset in the west has turned dark red, and the melting orange light flows between the sky and the earth. The back garden in the twilight is even more beautiful and peaceful.

There is a big banyan tree beside the garden. The crown of the tree is like a huge umbrella, blocking the twilight. It is dark under the tree.

This is the place where Jiang Jin had a tryst with that girl.

Jiang Yixi pulled Jiang Xun and walked under the tree. She dropped a purse in the grass at the root of the tree with her lowered hand.

Jiang Xun didn't notice, but Shuixiang who was following them saw it. She didn't know why the girl left her purse here, but she knew that the girl did it on purpose, so she acted like a girl, so she pretended not to see it.

After walking through the garden, passing a bamboo forest, we arrived at the backyard wall.

Meeting the patrolling lady, Shuixiang told her that the girl and the second master were here to burn paper for the second lady.

The mother-in-law did not dare to say not to burn it, but only asked to extinguish the candle before leaving.
