When Jiang Ruan came back safely, Jiang Li didn't get any benefits. Shen Mingzhen beckoned another maid, who left in a hurry, and not long after, she saw Jiang Li and Xiaocui coming here. With uncontrollable anger on Jiang Li's face, she walked up to Jiang Ruan and said angrily, "Why did you come back first?"

Before Jiang Ruan could open his mouth, Lin Zixiang on the other side couldn't see it, and said contemptuously: "The Jiang family is also a big official family, why is it so disrespectful, the sister of the concubine can be rude to the young lady of the concubine."

The voice of her words was not low, and many wives of the officials around looked over one after another. Jiang Li blushed and was very annoyed in her heart. She heard Jiang Ruan laughing and said: "It's okay, there are not so many rules between us sisters, Li Niang is just in a hurry .”

Lin Zixiang frowned: "If this is placed in our house, we must teach it well."

Jiang Ruan didn't speak this time, just smiled, her expression was not angry, but it was a bit confusing for people to tell what she meant. Jiang Susu stood up and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Eldest sister just came back from Zhuangzi, and many things are unclear. The third sister is young, so don't worry about elder sister like her."

It was not Jiang Ruan's fault at all, but it sounded like Jiang Ruan's fault. When some unknown wives and ladies around looked at Jiang Ruan, they had strange expressions, as if Jiang Ruan had really been harsh on her concubine sister.

Jiang Ruan smiled and stared at Jiang Susu without blinking. Jiang Susu's heart was numb when she saw her upturned winking eyes, and her back became stiff unconsciously. Jiang Ruan sneered in her heart, Jiang Susu has always done kind things with the appearance of a fairy, even in the last life, if she hadn't been taken into prison as a witch who was a disaster to the country, this younger sister would always comfort and persuade her , calm and patient, why can't she hold her breath now, and even deliberately talked about the matter of coming back from Zhuangzi, so that everyone would respect her at a distance.

Could it be that her temperament has changed in this life, and Jiang Susu's temperament has also changed? Or Jiang Susu was like this before, but she trusted her wholeheartedly in her last life, so she turned a blind eye to all her slanderous words on weekdays.

Lin Zixiang gave Jiang Susu a cold look. She was lonely and arrogant, but she didn't hide her dislike for Jiang Susu, so she sneered from her nose: "Fake!"

Jiang Susu was startled, forced a smile, but stopped talking. In this way, it is more like Lin Zixiang bullying others, and Jiang Susu begging to compromise to take care of the overall situation.

Luzhu behind her almost didn't laugh, Lin Zixiang is also a wonderful person, in front of such a room full of people, she dared to show Jiang Susu's face so blatantly, but no one dared to say anything wrong about her. Jiang Ruan smiled and said: "It's because I didn't make it clear to Li Niang, Li Niang, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you have not returned, I was afraid that my mother here would be worried, and I happened to meet a little maid again, so I let you She brought me back first, and the little maid should come over and let you know, why, didn't you meet her?"

Jiang Li held back her breath, she certainly didn't see the little maid Jiang Ruan mentioned, but Jiang Ruan should not have lied, otherwise how could she return to the Shen residence so lightly for the first time. In this way, Shen Mingzhen's arrangement was a waste of thought, which made Shen Mingzhen unhappy for no reason, and Jiang Li cursed Jiang Ruan again in her heart. Cai said with a non-cold attitude: "It's okay if the big sister doesn't want to wait for the younger sister, and what to do if you say something."

Jiang Ruan remained silent again, and just sat down with a smile. In the eyes of all the wives, there was a bit of speculation, but it was confirmed at this moment. Thinking about it, this daughter of the Jiang family is not what the Jiang family said, she was favored after she came back, even a concubine younger sister can be so tit for tat provocative, it must be a difficult life, I can only feel angry for her She is surprisingly well-measured, not like the small family from the countryside, nor is she blindly cowardly, and she does not argue, she is generous, and she really has the demeanor of the eldest daughter.

Jiang Li didn't expect that today's release not only failed to fix Jiang Ruan, but made Jiang Ruan a good reputation. Shen Mingzhen also became annoyed with her, and hated Jiang Ruan in her heart. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Susu's expression was slightly stiff, and suddenly laughed for a moment. Jiang Ruan's return to the house was not a good thing for her, and it also affected Jiang Susu. Otherwise, why would her fairy-like elder sister lose her composure so many times today? It is the first time her looks have been compared to others. She is also a sister of the Jiang family. Li's name. Now that Jiang Ruan came, Jue Se became a twin sister, and someone stood shoulder to shoulder with him or even better, how could Jiang Susu feel better.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt a little gloating in her heart.

The day passed quickly, Xia Yan took a few people to say goodbye and returned to the mansion. After returning to the mansion, he first reported Mrs. Jiang's situation today. Xia Yan said with a smile: "Ms. I don’t want to praise Ruan Niang for her outstanding appearance, I said I have never seen her before, but when I saw Ruan Niang today, she is indeed outstanding, worthy of the four words of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.”

Mrs. Jiang's complexion changed slightly. It is not a good thing for a girl to be too outstanding. It would be good if Jiang Susu was as elegant and refined, but Jiang Ruan's appearance is bright and beautiful, so it is a disaster rather than a blessing.

In Ruan Juzhong, Luzhu delivered the warm soup lady to Jiang Ruan, and stayed in Shen's house for a day, although it was just a joke, but it was also a waste of energy, Jiang Ruan was already a little tired. Zisu closed the door, brought a silver basin to Jiang Ruan to clean his hands, carefully wiped Jiang Ruan's hands with a soft handkerchief, and said softly: "Girl, I heard from the servants in the mansion that the prefect of Qian at Zhuangzi's side was arrested by the palace. That one is dismissed."

Qian Wanli? Jiang Ruan thought for a while: "Because of Wang Yushi?"

"I heard that the prisoners in the prison have a lot of grievances. The relatives of the prisoners handed over the petition to Beijing, and they happened to be picked up by the Ming officials. After investigation, they found out that many years of injustice were committed. Qian Wanli received a lot of black-hearted money. The prisoners in the prison complained about their grievances." Shouting so loudly, it was not something that could be suppressed normally. It was rumored all over the streets, and the emperor dismissed Qian Wanli's officials in a fit of anger, and said he wanted to ransack his house."

Jiang Ruan looked at the swaying water in the silver basin, and couldn't help but think of the young widow she met in prison that day. She thought that her grievances were also appealed.

The days flowed by like running water, Jiang Li was still as domineering as before, provoking a few words from time to time, but Jiang Ruan didn't pay much attention to her, but the attitude of Jiang Susu's mother and daughter was a little subtle to her, I wonder if she sees people differently now It's still Jiang Susu's mother and daughter who have lost their composure, and there are some tit-for-tat meanings in the few times they spoke. Although Old Madam Jiang treated Jiang Ruan neither salty nor weak, she would not deliberately suppress her. In a blink of an eye, it was time for Jiang Quan and Jiang Chao to return home.

It's the end of the new year, and there are many entertainments in the officialdom. Jiang Quan said he would go back to the mansion a few days ago, but he was delayed by something at the peak, and he didn't return to the mansion until today. Xia Yan was naturally very happy, and he made people clean up early and started preparations. He only said that he would have a lively reunion dinner. Jiang Quan worked hard for the Jiang family for a year, so he deserved a good reward.
