Chapter 1,181, The Last Backup Plan, Leaving One Behind

Of course this is only theoretical.

Jiang's face turned blue and green, and then became sinister. He bit his lower lip with his teeth, so hard that he almost cut into the flesh: "Shao Jing!"

Zhao Xiran lowered his head and stood quietly. The words had been conveyed. If Jiang was not really crazy, he should naturally know what it meant.

It is impossible for two equal wives, and it was the Jiang family who preempted the position of equal wives, but what if something happened to the Jiang family? So what reason is there for not letting that woman in?

She has a good status. The down-and-out daughter of an aristocratic family has given birth to another daughter. This daughter should not be engaged yet. The young ladies in the Xingguo Marquis Mansion are all pretty good-looking, so this one should be okay too. Compared with the disappeared Shao Yanru, it is hard to say. There is still much to be gained, and the Duke of Xingguo has always been ambitious.

With these conditions, if the wife does not object and the father-in-law works hard to bring the person in, no one else can say anything.

"Shao Jing... Shao Jing, you bitch!" Jiang cursed fiercely again, her voice getting colder and colder. She wished that Shao Jing would appear in front of her right now, and she would scratch his old face to pieces.

I was lucky enough to manage affairs for him in the house, but he actually raised a woman outside, and he kept her for so many years. He even wanted to squeeze himself out to make way for this woman at this time.

Originally, with children, especially her daughter, Jiang felt that it was impossible for Shao Jing to really kick her out of the wife's position. If his wife was equal, his wife would be equal, and her daughter would definitely let him return to his position as the head of the wife in the future.

After being imprisoned, she had no news. Everything outside was blocked by Shao Jing, and she didn't know that Shao Jing would actually do this now.

"Go and ask Shao Jing to come see me!" Jiang said angrily, walking up to Zhao Xiran in a few steps.

"Mother, this... I... can't do it. I came to see you today secretly. I can't let my father know, otherwise he will definitely not be able to spare me!" Zhao Xiran shook his head and refused.

She had long thought that Jiang might be instigating this, so she was not surprised by what Jiang said, but it was impossible for her to really go to Shao Jing. Even if her daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, she could not really confront her father-in-law. .

"Pa!" A heavy slap made Zhao Xiran take two steps back and almost fell down. Fortunately, the maid beside her hurriedly supported her.

"You're useless. If I had known you were so useless, I wouldn't have let Hua An marry you in the first place. Any girl from any house she marries would be better than you. Look at what happened when you entered the house. The entire Xingguo Duke's palace has fallen because of you... The entire family has lost its power, Hua An is really unlucky for eight lifetimes if he marries you!" Mrs. Jiang pointed at Zhao Xiran and cursed, viciously blaming Zhao Xiran for everything.

Zhao Xiran stood up straight and said coldly after listening to Jiang's scolding, "If mother can only scold me, then I will never come here again. Just take care of yourself, mother!"

After saying that, he turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Before Jiang could finish her words, seeing that she was about to leave, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhao Xiran's hand, and pulled her back fiercely, "Go find someone."

"Who!" Zhao Xiran lowered his head, not looking at Jiang, and not struggling. Jiang had been running the Hou Mansion for so many years, and it was impossible that he only had a few confidants on the surface. It was just inconvenient to see people at the moment.

"Go to Grandma Wang who is in charge of flowers and trees in the inner courtyard..." Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhao Xiran suspiciously when she said this. She didn't really believe in Zhao Xiran, but there was no one else she could use at the moment, not even her own son. , didn't come to see her, and besides Zhao Xiran, she had no one she could trust.

"Go to Grandma Wang and ask her to investigate this matter!"

"She is just a servant who takes care of flowers and trees, what use is she?" Zhao Xiran asked with a calm face.

The servants who were in charge of the flowers and trees, even the nuns in charge of the inner courtyard, were better than this one who was in charge of the flowers and trees. Why was this Aunt Wang, who was in charge of the flowers and trees, so capable?

She has been in the mansion for so long, and all the respectable servants in the mansion know her. She has never cared about who this Aunt Wang is, who is in charge of flowers and trees. It shows that she is not a useful servant.

"Don't worry about whether she can use it, just pass the news to her and ask her to check it out. She is in charge of the flowers and trees. The flowers and trees in the house need to be added or grafted from time to time. She is in charge of the flowers and trees. The entrance and exit of the palace are much more convenient than those in other inner courtyards. I asked her to check this matter before, but she didn't find out at the time."

Jiang gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

She remembered that when she was locked up in the temple, Shao Wanru said this, saying that Shao Jingyang had an extramarital affair. She didn't believe it at the time and wanted her son and daughter to investigate. At that time, she and her daughter had a conflict, and her daughter did not come to see her. Her son came, but he said she was just trying to catch the wind and didn't believe her.

Although he later agreed to check it out, he probably didn't take it seriously.

She secretly asked Grandma Wang to investigate this matter. At first she said that nothing was found, but Jiang didn't believe it and asked Grandma Wang to continue investigating.

After that, things happened one after another, so she forgot about it and never looked for Grandma Wang again.

"Yes, mother, I'll go back first!" Zhao Xiran said calmly, as if she was not the one who was slapped by Jiang before.

"Okay, any news must be sent to me. When Ru'er... ascends to a high position, I will not forget your benefits, and I will not blame you again." Jiang said, expressing a He showed no intention of reconciling with Zhao Xiran, and his expression softened a bit, looking like he used to.

She just thought about it, and now she couldn't find anyone except Zhao Xiran to help her. If Zhao Xiran could be on her side, even if she was locked up, her information should not be so blocked.

"Yes!" Zhao Xiran did not say that something had happened to Shao Yanru. After bowing to Mr. Jiang, he left with the maid.

Standing outside the wall, she looked at the side door that was tightly closed, and reached out to touch her hot face. Zhao Xiran's face showed a bit of hatred. How could she have no grudge against her, not to mention that Mr. Jiang had seen her? He cursed her with so many vicious words and said that she had harmed her child. It was impossible for her to truly reconcile with the Jiang family.

In fact, it would be better for Jiang and that woman to have more trouble and die.

"Grandma..." The maid looked around and timidly reminded her that it was not appropriate to stay here any longer. It would be troublesome if anyone saw it and reported it to the Marquis.

Zhao Xiran nodded and returned to the courtyard with the maid.

The water lilies have been placed in the yard, and the woman sent by Prince Chen's Mansion is teaching the maids in her yard the experience of planting water lilies, and helping them carefully remove a few withered leaves.

Seeing Zhao Xiran come in, he immediately stepped aside and said goodbye to Zhao Xiran.

Zhao Xiran nodded with a smile and asked them to bring their thanks to Shao Wanru. There was no sign that she had been beaten just now. When she came in, she showed it to the maid. Although her face was slightly red, it was not really swollen. You wouldn't have seen it if you weren't paying attention. In the Hou Mansion, no one would have thought that she, the grandma of the Hou Mansion, would be beaten.

After a few polite words, the servants of Prince Chen's Mansion were sent away. He sat in the room holding a handkerchief and meditating. Coincidentally, outside the window was a vat of water lilies, standing gracefully in front of him. As the wind blew, he rose and fell gently, elegantly. There is a bit of charm in it.

Zhao Xiran suddenly sneered, took the handkerchief and pressed it gently on the corners of his lips. There was nothing on his face, but the corners of his lips were

But there was a faint smell of blood, and the corner of her mouth was slightly cracked by Jiang's slap just now.

"Find Grandma Wang who is in charge of flowers and trees!" He pressed the corner of his mouth, feeling a faint pain.

"Yes, I will go find someone right away!" The maid responded.

Zhao Xiran, who was sitting alone in the window, suddenly laughed...

"When the grandma of the Marquis of Xingguo came back from a trip, her face was a little red and her hairpin was a little loose. The servant looked like she had been slapped." The mother-in-law reported.

Shao Wanru pondered for a moment and asked, "Will you be out for a long time?"

"About a cup of tea." The mother-in-law thought for a while and said. Originally, they were about to leave after playing. When they saw this grandma going out, they stayed here on purpose and deliberately talked about planting water lilies with the maids and the mother-in-law of the Hou Mansion. Things to pay attention to were mentioned so enthusiastically that the maids and mothers-in-law did not notice that the time was not short. They did not leave until the eldest grandma came back.

A cup of tea is enough time for Zhao Xiran to go to the Jiang family's yard. It seems that the only person in this mansion who would attack Zhao Xiran is the Jiang family.

Madam Tai is concerned about herself and has Shao Yanru's affairs at the moment. She has no intention of paying attention to Zhao Xiran, let alone taking action directly. Shao Jing is also impossible, so the only one is Jiang.

Zhao Xiran really remembered what he said today. He curled his lips slightly and waved his hand: "Go down!"

When I arrived at the door, I almost bumped into Qing'er who was rushing in.

Fortunately, Qing'er reacted quickly and grabbed the mother-in-law and pulled her to the opposite side, so the two people didn't really hit each other.

After letting go of the old lady, Qing'er hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in: "Princess, this slave has heard about it."

When Zhao Xiran was in the palace before, Shao Wanru left for a while. This was Shao Wanru giving Mo Yan a chance, but later something really happened, so Mo Yan met Zhao Xiran.

But after she left, she heard something. She didn't know whether it was true or not, so she asked Qing'er to go out to inquire about it. Now there is news.

"How is it?" Shao Wanru raised his watery eyes and asked.

"The princess is true. When Princess Yuyan went to see Princess Yuan'an, she was bitten by a dog in Princess Ruiping's mansion. When she was chased, she fell from the rockery. I heard that her leg was also injured. It’s burning.”

Qing'er smiled brightly and was very happy about Princess Yuyan's misfortune.

Shao Wanru also smiled, and covered the corner of her lips with a handkerchief. She was also very happy. This Princess Yuyan plotted against her as soon as she came to Beijing. She had suffered the consequences before, but she didn't expect that there would be such a drama now. .

She and Princess Yuan'an were close as if they were good sisters who had been separated for many years, but then they passed the blame to each other, and now they have lost even the surface of friendship, which is really frustrating.

She knew that Princess Yuan'an had a pet dog. Princess Yuan'an had talked about it before when she was holding Chu Liuchen's too-fat pet cat.

"Princess, it's so strange. Why did Princess Yuyan go to the mansion of Princess Ruiping? Didn't she have a falling out with Princess Yuan'an before?" Yu Jie heard at the door and came in with a cup of tea with a smile. Several people around Shao Wanru felt relieved.

"You want to make peace with Princess Yuan'an!" Shao Wanru said nonchalantly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her pink lips raised. In the capital, Princess Yuan'an was there to help, Princess Yuyan The strength can be greatly increased, but although Princess Yuanan and Princess Ruiping don't like Princess Yuyan, they won't slap her in the face like this, right?

There seems to be something mysterious about this, right?

Sure enough, this was confirmed during dinner...
