The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

However, Shen Rou has always been at odds with Yu Ya, the second grandmother of the Xia family, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law is extremely bad. Naturally, she didn't want Xia Jun to have a good life, Shen Rou thought, instead of taking advantage of Xia Jun, it would be better to take advantage of her brother. Shen Rou's natal family also has a nephew, who is now a suitable age for marriage with Jiang Ruan, if he becomes successful, it will be considered as a good fortune.

Shen Rouwu had a good plan, and looked at Jiang Ruan with strange fanaticism. Tianzhu frowned, Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "This is Mrs. Xia."

"Exactly. Ruan'er, I didn't expect you to be so old in a blink of an eye." Shen Rou said warmly.

"Bold! You can't be polite when you meet the princess!" Tian Zhu shouted coldly, which shocked Shen Rou.

Jiang Ruan said softly: "It's nothing, Mrs. Xia once met me once, I think it was because I was too excited that I forgot about it. It's okay."

This answer made Shenrou's face turn red and then white, white and then red again. When Jiang Ruan was in the ancestral hall, everyone could see clearly, but now that the old matter is brought up again, it is the Xia family who slapped them in the face.

Xia Yan couldn't hold back her face, and Xia Jiaojiao was even more angry, but remembering her grandfather's instructions before leaving, she endured it again.

Xia Yan suddenly bent down, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and retched twice, Lin Lang hurried over and patted Xia Yan's back lightly, and said, "Madam, are you feeling unwell again?"

Xia Yan shook her head: "Perhaps it's because the room is too stuffy, and my chest feels a little stuffy." She smiled: "Jiaojiao, sister-in-law, Ruan'er, why don't we go to the garden for a walk, the air outside is fresh."

Jiang Ruan looked out the window, it was a scorching hot day with no clouds in the sky, so she really wasn't afraid of getting prickly heat when she went out at this time. However, she smiled and said, "Okay, just right, I also want to go for a walk in the garden."

Shen Rou and Xia Jiaojiao were guests, so naturally she would not refuse. The three of them got up together and walked towards Xiayan Garden. In all fairness, although it was hot outside, Xia Yan dared not use ice because she was pregnant, so she had to make a fuss in the yard. The courtyard was clean and tidy, and every half an hour, someone would sprinkle cold water from the well on the stone slabs, and with the shade of trees, it was cool. It is indeed more ventilated than the house.

A few people walked and walked to the gazebo next to the small pond in the yard. The gazebo is Xia Yan's most proud handicraft. Xia Yan was once known as a talented woman in Beijing. After entering the Chiang Mansion, the courtyard was built by herself. The gazebo is next to the small pond, which is named after the "moonlight in the lotus pond" in summer scene. The summer night is breezy, the pond is full of emerald green lotus leaves, delicate lotus flowers, moonlight like water, and the scenery is extremely elegant. After the pavilion was repaired, Jiang Quan loved it very much. I often have a drink with Xia Yan in the gazebo at night, and they are a loving couple.

Jiang Ruan sneered silently in her heart, this place was the place where Jiang Quan and Xia Yan fell in love, but it was also the place where Zhao Mei was sad. When Jiang Xinzhi was young, he once had smallpox. Zhao Mei guarded Jiang Xinzhi for several days and nights in undressed clothes. After Jiang Xinzhi woke up, he asked where his father was. Drinking and having fun. At that time, she was still a child who didn't understand anything, just looking at Jiang Quan and Xia Yan's happy smile, she felt more and more that her mother's tears were dazzling. Jiang Ruan looked at the gazebo, smiled slightly, and said: "The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, and the lotus leaves are opened to both sides of the face."

When Zhao Mei brought the young Jiang Ruan to Yanhua Garden, she heard Jiang Quan, who was proud of the spring breeze, chanted this sentence to the gentle and graceful Xia Yan. The tenderness and affection in his eyes were something that their mother and daughter had never seen before. .

Xia Yan was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Ruan'er, your father also likes to recite these two poems the most."

Shen Rou rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If you ask me, my aunt really enjoys it. Such a good place is hard to find in our house even with lanterns on."

Xia Jiaojiao interjected at the right time: "Of course, my aunt was the most talented woman in the capital in the past. Naturally, ordinary women in the mountains can't compare." Xia Jiaojiao always thought that Jiang Ruan was raised by Zhuangzi. Being raised next to Zhao Mei, who doesn't understand poetry, is naturally a person who doesn't understand writing. Jiang Ruan pretended not to have heard of it, and was still smiling. Seeing this, Xia Jiaojiao became more and more annoyed.

Xia Yan suddenly felt a little sad: "Speaking of it, it has been more than ten years. When my sister was still there, she once praised the beauty of this pavilion. Ruan'er, now you are so old, and you are almost here. At your age, you grew up in Zhuangzi, and I am afraid that no one will teach you to behave well, mother is thinking of finding a nurturing mother for you, okay?"

Jiang Ruan stared at her sideways, and suddenly smiled and said: "What is the mother talking about, isn't the foster mother next to the empress dowager a mother?"

Xia Yan was taken aback for a moment, but he had never thought of this level, and was at a loss for words for a while. However, I had to continue after I started, so I grabbed Jiang Ruan's hand with one hand, and gently persuaded: "Mother knows that you are a good person, and you are also a smart one. But what the nuns in the palace teach you is the one in the palace." You will also get married in the future, so naturally you have to learn the rules of being a wife."

Jiang Ruan looked at her with a half-smile, and Xia Yan felt a little flustered when he saw those smiling eyes. She suddenly widened her eyes and said loudly, "Ruan'er, what are you doing!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan's body stepped back abruptly, as if Jiang Ruan had pushed her hard, and happened to be facing the steps of the gazebo again, when she heard a sound, Xia Yan fell heavily under the ladder.

"Ah!" With a scream, Xia Yan's lower body was immediately stained red, and his clothes were soaked in blood.

"Jiang Ruan!" A voice full of anger and shock came from the opposite side, Jiang Ruan looked up and saw that Jiang Quan, Xia Cheng and Ye Li were standing opposite the pavilion. Jiang Quan's eyes were sinister and angry, as if he wanted to eat her.

Jiang Ruan caressed the bracelet on his hand, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

Ok, here we go.

"What are you still doing in a daze! Hurry up and ask for a doctor!" Jiang Quan hurried forward, seeing the blood stains under Xia Yan's body, he raised his hand and slapped Jiang Ruan hard, regardless of the presence of others.

The sound of "snap" made everyone's heart skip a beat. Jiang Quan hit hard, and saw five clear finger prints on Jiang Ruan's fair face, which instantly became red and swollen, and a little blood spilled from the corners of his lips. .

Jiang Quan was taken aback for a moment, and he struck out in a rage, but Jiang Ruan stood still and received the slap forcibly. A gleam of pleasure floated in Xia Jiaojiao's eyes, but Ye Li who rushed over after hearing the news frowned calmly.

Jiang Ruan took out a handkerchief from his bosom to wipe off the blood on his lips, and said calmly, "Father, have you calmed down?"

In any case, it is disrespectful to strike in front of the Tian family. Jiang Quan was at a loss for words for a while, and when he saw Xia Yan who was dying on the ground, he suddenly became angry again, pointed at Jiang Ruan's nose and cursed: "Sinister, you have such a vicious heart!" How dare you murder your aunt in broad daylight! It's just frenzied!"

Xia Cheng followed Ye Li, and seeing the picture in front of him was naturally extremely gratifying. He originally hated Jiang Ruan for plotting Xia Jun, the only grandson of the Xia family, but now seeing Jiang Ruan deflated, he was naturally happy. He didn't care about the safety of his own daughter. However, in such a scene, in front of Ye Li, he naturally had to say a few polite words, and then pretended to persuade: "My in-laws, Ruan girl probably didn't do it on purpose, could there be some misunderstanding?"
