The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 71 Peony (3)

"There's such a big thing happening in the mansion, why don't you go take a look as a daughter." Jiang Ruan stood up: "Let's go and take a look too."

Luzhu and Nanny Zhou slept in the next room, and Jiang Ruan didn't wake her up.Forsythia and Zisu put on a coat and cloak for her, and as soon as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw Fu Rong walking out with Jiang Dan supporting her.Seeing her, Jiang Dan was startled, hurriedly bowed to her, and asked cautiously: "Did the eldest sister hear about the second brother?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Although I don't know what happened, I still have to take a look."

"I think so too," Jiang Dan lowered his head shyly: "After all, they are all my sisters."

Jiang Ruan glanced at her with a smile and said no more.The two got up and walked towards the hall.As soon as he entered the hall, the first thing he heard was Xia Yan's cry.Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows, seeing that several aunts were present, Jiang Li looked gloating, Jiang Susu's face was snow-white, and one could see the panic in her eyes when she looked carefully.

Tongfang Lianye was carefully persuading Xia Yan: "Madam don't cry, what should I do if I break my body from crying."

Xia Yan didn't even look at her, but held onto Jiang Quan's arm tightly, crying, "Master, that's our own flesh and blood, do you really plan to leave him alone?"

Jiang Quan pursed his lips and looked down at Xia Yan. Xia Yan's hair was slightly disheveled at the moment, and his book-like face was covered with tears, making it even more beautiful.After all, she is a woman she really loves. Jiang Quan supported her with one hand, and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that the mansion doesn't have so much money."

"We can borrow it." Xia Yan was a little crazy: "Master, don't you know many bureaucrats, just borrow it, and I can go to my natal family to borrow it in a short time. Master, Chao'er can't fall into their hands. Where is the Baihua Building, my lord!"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Quan withdrew his hand, and his eyes became cold again: "Borrowing money from colleagues, is this how you trample on the face of my Jiang family at will?"

"Father, what happened here? Where is Baihualou?" Jiang Ruan asked.Only then did everyone see her and Jiang Dan coming, Jiang Quan frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Zi Su and Lian Qiao curled their lips, the aunts from the house, and even the connected room came, but they were not named Jiang Ruan and Jiang Dan, it was really as if they were transparent.Jiang Ruan said: "I heard the sound of the dispute at night, so I came to take a look with concern in my heart. But what happened?"

Her expression of concern did not seem to be fake, and Jiang Quan stared at her with complicated eyes.Under the lights, Jiang Ruan's eyebrows were picturesque, and she was wearing a bright red satin cloak, which made her half as exquisite as a jade carving.He also heard about the Lantern Festival a few days ago, and he also suspected Jiang Ruan in his heart.The girl in front of her is slim and graceful, looking carefully, she looks a bit like Zhao Mei's fresh clothes and angry horse back then.

He was a little dazed, but when Xia Yan saw Jiang Ruan, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over and said, "Ruan'er, mother knows that you are the most soft-hearted, and you are a kind child. Now that something happened to your second brother, my sister left it to you. The dowry, can you take it out and save your brother first? After a few days, mother will return it to you."

She looked expectantly, Jiang Ruan looked at her quietly, Xia Yan must be out of his mind, and even asked her for help.It's a pity, she smiled slightly: "Mother, what are you talking about, if I really have money, I will naturally use it to save my second brother. But mother also knows that six years ago I went to Zhuangzi, where the evil servants deceived the master, The dowry left to me by my mother has already been looted by those evil slaves." She sighed: "Jiang Ruan is really powerless."

Xia Yan let go of her hand and stared at her blankly.Jiang Ruan looked at her calmly, wondering if Xia Yan would regret it at this moment, after all, she was the one who sent herself to Zhuangzi at the beginning!Now it's your own fault!
In order to get married to Jiang Quan, Zhao Mei severed ties with the Zhao family, so the dowry was very small.But in the end, he was also born in the general family. After raising money over the years, including the jewelry in the past, there is also a thousand or two thousand.In order to maintain her virtuous and virtuous appearance, Xia Yan never thought of these dowries.Those things that were taken from Zhuangzi were returned back when Wang Yushi was avenging for her, but at that time Jiang Ruan asked Lianqiao to exchange all the things into silver notes, so that one day Xia Yan asked about the dowry , can be confidently refused.

Xia Yan seemed to have been hollowed out all over his body, and he lay limp on the ground, muttering: "My Chao'er, is it possible that the truth has come to a dead end?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Susu finally couldn't help running to her, and the mother and daughter burst into tears together.

Jiang Li frowned: "Second brother is really messing around too much, the house really doesn't have so much money, and it made father angry."

The second aunt covered Jiang Li's mouth, knowing that now was not the time to add fuel to the flames.Sure enough, Jiang Quan gave Jiang Li a hard look, Hongying saw this, and stepped forward: "Madam, don't just think about crying now, although there is no ten thousand taels of gold in the mansion, there should be a few thousand taels. If not Go get it first, and then talk to the people in Baihualou, let them release him first."

Jiang Ruan laughed inwardly, and glanced at Hongying.Hongying herself was born in a brothel, so she is not ignorant of the brothel's rules.The more popular a girl is, the more expensive she is, and not everyone can offend her.If you owe a large debt and cannot pay it back, you will have to save your life.If it is not finished, there is absolutely no reason to pay on credit. If someone from the Jiang family goes to talk to Baihualou tonight and only wants to pay a part of the money, it is tantamount to admitting that the remaining part of the Jiang family cannot afford it. Then according to the rules, Jiang Chao will A part of him had to be left behind.

This fifth aunt, who looked gentle and graceful, was born in the market after all, and she was as ruthless as her.

Jiang Quan looked at the mother and daughter Xia Yan who were crying hoarsely, his heart softened, and finally said: "Don't cry, Steward Zhang goes to the warehouse to get the silver, and find some people to go to Baihualou."

When Xia Yan stopped crying, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Quan saw Jiang Ruan and the others on the side again: "It's useless for you to stay here, go back to the yard, don't come out casually."

Jiang Dan responded timidly, Jiang Ruan nodded, and went out of the hall with Jiang Li.Jiang Li's yard is not in the same direction as Jiang Ruan's. Before leaving, Jiang Ruan said to Jiang Dan: "I didn't expect the second brother to make such a big mistake. If grandma finds out, I don't know how to get angry."

Jiang Dan was taken aback for a moment, Jiang Li paused, and left quickly.Jiang Dan asked: "What does Big Sister mean, grandma doesn't know about this yet?"

"Have you ever seen your grandmother tonight?" Jiang Ruan said, "Since you haven't seen her, you naturally don't know." She walked slowly, with a smile on her face as usual, she didn't know that Mrs. Jiang would wake up tomorrow morning, Knowing that Jiang's half-life savings have been used to pay for Jiang Chao's spirit, will he go crazy with anger.

And Jiang Chao is destined not to come back completely.

……

That night, Jiang Ruan slept deeply, and when she opened her eyes in the morning, the sunlight outside had already entered the room.Seeing that she woke up, Zi Su smiled and said, "Young lady slept well last night, but she got up late this morning."
