Chapter 375

The last time mother and daughter met, Jiang Lingyi put aside all the past grudges, and Luo Shi finally came to his senses, holding Jiang Lingyi's hand tightly, with a pair of eyes full of regret and unwillingness, "Yier, mother was wrong, mother is sorry. you."

Jiang Guogong's bullying and indifference day after day made Luo Shi finally understand that this man's heart could not be warmed, but she violated her dignity and the respect and love of her children again and again for such a man, so she ended up in this situation today. She deserved the outcome.

But at the last moment of her life, Luo Shi still wanted to say sorry to Jiang Lingyi, say that she had figured it out, and ask Jiang Lingyi not to hold grudges against her anymore.

Jiang Lingyi held Luo Shi's hand back and choked out with scarlet eyes: "Auntie, I don't blame you anymore. As long as you get better, I won't care about anything, okay?"

Three years later, Luo Shi finally heard the voice of 'Aniang' again. At this point, he could be considered dead without regrets.

Luo Shi reached out and wanted to touch Jiang Lingyi's hair, but he couldn't lift it up. Understanding her intention, Jiang Lingyi lowered her head and let Luo Shi caress the top of her hair.

The wish in his heart has been fulfilled, and Luo Shi's breath began to weaken. Looking at the shackles above his head, Luo Shi said hopefully: "Yi'er, if there is an afterlife, Aniang must be an independent and tenacious woman, so that she can protect her." My child is..."

After the words fell, Luo passed away with full of sorrow.

All her life, she has lived under the control of others: when she was a child, although her mother was the matron of the house, she was not favored by her father, so that she could only get a place for herself by being obedient and pleasing. Later, she finally managed to get ahead, but She hurriedly married into Jiang Guogong's mansion. After getting married, her husband was unsympathetic and his concubines were arrogant, but she never resisted because she didn't know how to do it and didn't dare to, so she suffered tragic consequences again and again.

Not until death can one be considered free.

"Aniang!" Looking at Luo Shi's hand hanging down, Jiang Lingyi was heartbroken and threw herself into Luo Shi's arms and cried until she burst into tears.

Three years of pain and three years of resentment all turned into clouds and disappeared at this moment. At this moment, Jiang Lingyi was left only sad, sad that she no longer had anyone she could call her aunt.

Jiang Lingyi did not return to the Prince's Mansion. Instead, she had someone send a message to Chu Nanchen, saying that she would stay at Duke Jiang's Mansion for the next few days to see Luo Shi off.

They had missed each other for more than three years, so Jiang Lingyi wanted to stay with Luo Shi in the few remaining days.

…

At Luo's funeral, Lu Tingyu finally saw again the figure that had haunted him for more than half a year.

Dressed in white plain clothes, she knelt in front of the solemn coffin, adding paper money to the brazier in front of her. Her body trembled slightly from time to time, obviously she was crying.

Lu Tingyu wanted to step forward to comfort her, but he had no identity to appear in front of her.

At this moment, Lu Tingyu saw Chu Nanchen coming in a hurry not far away, walked to Jiang Lingyi's side, and then knelt down with her.

The crown prince of a country, the future emperor of Chu, had such noble knees that only the current emperor and empress could withstand. At this time, he knelt down to Luo Shi, a duke's wife who did not live up to her name. It could be said that Luo Shi had enough dignity.

Lu Tingyu's intention to step forward paused, and his reason finally came back. Yes, she is now Chu Nanchen's crown princess, and all he can do is stay away from her sight and prevent her from suffering the pain she once had. Troubled by the past.

It has been seven days since Luo Shi's funeral was settled.

Just as Jiang Lingyi was about to take Yun Lan and Chuntao back to the Prince's Mansion, he heard another news from the servant, saying that the situation on Jiang Guogong's side was not good either, and he had just vomited a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Lingyi could only turn her head towards Duke Jiang Guo. As soon as she entered the door, she happened to hear the doctor's diagnosis and treatment results: "Hui Shizi, Duke Guo's body has been seriously damaged, and he frequently used drugs to have sex without listening to the doctor's instructions. Now, now It’s already beyond repair!”

Jiang Lingyi pushed the door open and saw Jiang Huan standing in front of the bed. Kneeling in front of him was the doctor who had diagnosed Jiang Guogong. His eyes were full of panic, obviously because he was afraid of being implicated in Jiang Guogong's affairs.

On the other side of the foot of the bed, there were three bright-looking girls standing. Jiang Lingyi knew the identities of the three of them. They were all prostitutes picked up by Jiang Guogong from the land of fireworks. Except for Hongluan, who was regarded as the aunt in the mansion, Lu Both Qiao and Ziyuan served Jiang Guogong as maids.

Hearing the doctor's words, Jiang Guogong immediately struggled to get up with an excited expression, "You're talking nonsense! Although I have had sex a little more, I have never used any medicine. It's obviously you, a quack doctor with poor medical skills who is trying to pour dirty water on my head. superior!

Come on, throw this quack out and bring back a doctor! "

Jiang Guogong felt that he was not as terminally ill as the doctor said, and his energy and spirit were obviously very good!

Just as the boy in the room was about to attack the doctor, he was stopped by Jiang Lingyi.

"Doctor Chang, please tell me in detail about my father's situation."

With Jiang Lingyi as his backer, Doctor Chang immediately felt confident and could no longer hide it. After all, he had long heard that the relationship between Jiang Lingyi and Jiang Guogong was not very good.

"Back to the Crown Princess, the Duke's body is extremely overstretched, and all his organs have been exhausted. The reason why he is still so energetic now is entirely because of his remaining life span. If nothing else happens, I’m afraid I’ll be bedridden starting tonight.”

"Is it really because of those tonic medicines?"

Doctor Chang nodded firmly, "Yes. Princess Consort, I am very sure that in the past three months, the Duke of Guo has taken a large amount of tonic ten times."

Jiang Lingyi directly asked someone to take Doctor Chang to search the entire courtyard, including the courtyard of Hongluan and the other two.

Although Duke Jiang insisted that he did not take tonic, it did not mean that he was not secretly fed by others, and Hongluan and the other two were the most suspicious.

As expected, as soon as Jiang Lingyi gave the order, Lu Qiao and Ziyuan immediately panicked.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyi directly asked Yun Lan to take people to search the two people's rooms.

A quarter of an hour later, Yun Lan and his party came back, and Doctor Chang had an extra rough white porcelain bottle in his hand.

"My Lady Crown Princess, this thing is called Yuanjing Pills. It is a well-known aphrodisiac in the market and also a banned drug in Beijing. The Duke took this thing, which led to the current consequences."

After Doctor Chang finished speaking, Yun Lan's voice sounded: "Master, this bottle of medicine was found in Miss Ziyuan's room."

Although Yuanjing Pills are banned drugs, they are secretly circulated in places of fireworks, which is why Ziyuan can get this thing.

With both witnesses and evidence, Ziyuan has no power to quibble and confesses everything immediately.

It turned out that after the two were taken to the mansion of Duke Jiang, they were grateful for taking good care of Duke Jiang at first, but when they saw that Hongluan became pregnant and became a concubine and lived a prosperous life, they immediately had other thoughts.

They also wanted to get pregnant with Duke Jiang's child, and then naturally become concubines and live a stable life in the second half of their lives.

But Duke Jiang was already ill in bed, and his body was not strong enough, so it was difficult to satisfy the two's wishes, so Yuanjing Pills were created.

After taking Yuanjing Pills, Duke Jiang instantly forgot about Doctor Chang's instructions, and gradually indulged in the gentleness of Lu Qiao and Ziyuan.

However, less than half a month passed, and Duke Jiang's body had problems. However, because of the continuous supply of Yuanjing Pills, Duke Jiang did not notice the abnormality of his body until last night after another absurd night, when Duke Jiang felt tired, and then he vomited blood and fainted.

It is obvious that the remaining life of Duke Jiang is not enough to continue overdrawing.

After listening to the whole process, Duke Jiang's eyes widened in shock.

"Bitch! I kindly took you out of the fire pit, but you hurt me like this!

Come on, drag them all out and beat them to death, beat them to death!"

Lu Qiao and Zi Yuan knelt down and begged, "Crown Princess, we really didn't know that the Duke was weak, we just wanted to give birth to a child for the Duke!

Crown Princess, we really know we were wrong, please spare our lives!"

The two knelt down and cried, but Jiang Lingyi was unmoved, because she could see clearly that although the two did not intend to kill Duke Jiang, their thoughts were not pure, so they would not be wronged if they died.

Without any intention of stopping them, Jiang Lingyi let the servant forcibly drag the two away.

The heartbreaking wails of the two soon came from outside the house, but they disappeared after a while.

Hongluan, who was standing by, was frightened. She had known for a long time that the life of a rich family was difficult, but she never thought that just one sentence could take the lives of Lu Qiao and Zi Yuan.

Yuan Jing Wan was a common item in the place of fireworks, so in Hongluan's eyes, it was not a big deal. In the final analysis, it was because Duke Jiang knew that his foundation was not good but still coveted beauty and took the two back to the mansion, which led to today's disaster.

However, Hongluan also knew that it was not important who was right and who was wrong in the mansion. Hurting the master was a capital crime.

Jiang Lingyi glanced at Hongluan from the corner of her eye. Seeing her expression, she knew that she was not involved, so she did not pursue it further.

At this point, it was useless to prescribe medicine. Jiang Lingyi let Doctor Chang go back and asked Jiang Huan and Hongluan to take care of Duke Jiang. It was obvious that she was not going to stay.

Unlike her disappointment and resentment towards Luo, Jiang Lingyi did not have any father-daughter feelings for Duke Jiang.

When he dies, I will come back and burn a stick of incense for him, and that will complete this nominal father-daughter relationship.

Seeing that Jiang Lingyi wanted to leave, Duke Jiang was so angry that he yelled, "Rebellious daughter! You are unfilial! Not only did you not go to the palace to ask for a doctor for me when I was ill, you even thought about going back to the Prince's Mansion. Do you still have a conscience?"

Jiang Lingyi just glanced at him indifferently, "You deserve what you have today, father, what does it have to do with me."

After saying that, before Duke Jiang could finish his next curse, Jiang Lingyi turned around and walked out.

Mrs. Luo had already been buried, so there was no need for her to stay any longer in such a smoky and foul place.

…

Doctor Chang was very accurate. As soon as the hour of midnight arrived, Duke Jiang vomited blood again.

This time, it was much more serious than in the morning, and he vomited half a spittoon.

After vomiting blood, Duke Jiang, who was still energetic during the day, collapsed all of a sudden, and even had difficulty speaking.

Hongluan was frightened and immediately sent someone to invite Jiang Huan over.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, the appearance of Duke Jiang still frightened Jiang Huan.

After calming down, Jiang Huan thought about it for a while, and in order to gain a good reputation, he still entered the palace at night.

Although he knew that Duke Jiang was doomed to die, if he did nothing, he would inevitably be criticized. After inviting the imperial physician, if Duke Jiang still couldn't survive, it would not be his fault.

After a lot of trouble, the imperial physician was finally invited, but the condition of Duke Jiang became worse and worse, and even his mind began to become unclear.

The imperial physician just took Jiang Huan's pulse and shook his head at him, saying the same thing as what Doctor Chang said during the day.

Jiang Huan sent him away with a sad face. When he came back, Duke Jiang had already taken his last breath, but his mind had recovered a little.

The last breath.

Duke Jiang tightly grasped Jiang Huan's sleeve, with a look of unwillingness on his face, "Rebellious son! You are the same as Jiang Lingyi, neither of you really hopes for my good. If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled you to death!"

Duke Jiang's hat was really inexplicable, and Jiang Huan couldn't bear it anymore, "Father is in this situation, it's all his own fault, what has it to do with me?"

"Hang'er's matter was done by you, and those bastard things Jiang Lingyi did were all supported by you behind the scenes, don't think I don't know!"

Jiang Hang died on a cold night not long after Duke Jiang broke his leg. It was said that he ran out alone in the middle of the night and accidentally fell into the lake. When he was found the next day, his body was frozen.

Duke Jiang vaguely guessed Jiang Huan, but at that time Jiang Huan had gradually consolidated his power with Jiang Lingyi, so Duke Jiang could only investigate secretly.

The truth of the matter was just as he thought, and the matter was finally traced to Jiang Huan, but he had no evidence, so he could only swallow his anger.

Now, with death approaching, Duke Jiang had no more worries and cursed out all the hatred in his heart.

Hearing this, Jiang Huan just smiled but did not respond.

He turned his head and looked at the servant behind him, "Aunt Luan loved her father deeply. She could not bear the news of her father's sudden death and hanged herself at night."

In one sentence, Hong Luan's life and death were directly determined.

"Duke, save me, I am still pregnant with your child!" Realizing that her death was approaching, Hong Luan struggled frantically, but was still forcibly dragged out by two servants who covered her mouth.

The blood under her body spread, forming a dazzling blood line, and finally disappeared completely in the dark night.

The bright red blood line reflected in the eyes of Duke Jiang, dyeing his eyes red.

Another child was killed by Jiang Huan. Duke Jiang was furious, "Rebellious son! Beast! You didn't even let your brothers and sisters go. How could I have such a vicious son like you!"

Jiang Huan smiled nonchalantly, "They are my father's son and daughter. What does it have to do with me?

I only have two sisters. One is Yue'er who was killed by my father's indulgent concubine, and the other is Yi'er who was forced by my father to marry into the prince's mansion. The rest of the people, whether they live or die, have nothing to do with me."

After lying dormant for many years, when Duke Jiang was dying, Jiang Huan finally revealed his ambition.
