Chapter 799: Who is more willing to take risks?
Zhong's mother got on her horse and left.
Jiang Suining ordered two servants to follow and make sure that Mother Zhong returned safely to the Zhong family.
"Miss, you said so much just now, but to Mrs. Zhong, she might think that you just don't want to help, so you said these words to fool her." Xier sighed and said.
"I don't care what she thinks. I just said a little more because she is worried about her daughter. As for the rest, Zhong Yixue will naturally understand."
She believed that Zhong Yixiu had realized all this a long time ago.
Be it the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion, or anyone else, even if it is very troublesome to deal with, Zhong Yixiu has to face it after all.
Even if she sold her property now and moved to another place with her mother, away from the imperial city, there would still be other problems to deal with if she wanted to gain a foothold in an unfamiliar place.
Even if she chose to get married and live in a large mansion, there might still be conflicts in the backyard.
Can't escape, can't hide.
"Miss, then how do you think Miss Zhong will deal with the matter of Prince Yuwen?"
If the other party is really trying to make things difficult, it may be difficult to resolve.
Jiang Suining thought for a moment and said with a smile, "We'll have to see who is more willing to take risks."
The Zhong family fell and became commoners. Although this incident made the Zhong family lose any support in front of those dignitaries, it also made them free of scruples.
On the contrary, the Mingchang Marquisate still has to worry about its reputation.
No matter how much of a bastard Prince Yuwen is, he was brought up in a noble family after all, and it is impossible that he doesn't consider his own family at all.
Xier was curious, so after getting Jiang Suining's permission, she arranged for someone to keep an eye on it.
Just an hour later, the result of the matter came out.
Prince Yuwen held an old grudge and went to seek revenge, stabbing Zhong Yixiu.
The person who was trying to get the news inquired carefully.
When Yuwen Huan left the Zhong family, his robe was stained with blood. Although he claimed that he just wanted to scare Zhong Yixiu and did not do anything, many people did not believe him.
More importantly, not long after Yuwen Huan left, Zhong Yixiu also went out.
She didn't even change her bloody clothes, but covered her wounds all the way to the Marquis of Mingchang's Mansion, and knelt down at the door to apologize.
He only said that he wanted to apologize to the Mingchang Marquis' Mansion for the previous cancellation of the engagement.
"Miss Zhong is really bold. This way, no matter what Marquis Mingchang and the eldest princess think in their hearts, they will definitely not make things difficult for her openly. Otherwise, the people's spit alone will drown them." Xier's tone was full of emotion.
Now she finally understood what the young lady meant by taking risks.
One is a high and mighty marquis, and the other is an orphan girl whose family has been plagued by misfortunes one after another.
After the incident became a big deal, the people would definitely sympathize more with the Zhong family.
"What's the reaction from the Marquis' Mansion?" Jiang Suining asked the servant who delivered the message.
"I heard that Marquis Mingchang personally came to the gate of the mansion and invited the person in. He also found a doctor and said he wanted to treat Miss Zhong's injuries. He has made up for his mistake. The person should still be in the mansion now."
"Still inside?" Xi'er asked worriedly, "Miss, will they do anything to Miss Zhong?"
"So many people saw Zhong Yixue go in. If something happens in Mingchang Marquis' Mansion, they won't be able to escape. Instead of worrying about what they will do to Zhong Yixue, they should be more worried about Zhong Yixue not doing something else in their mansion out of impulse."
"But it is a marquis's mansion after all. What if they really make up their minds and don't care about anything?" Xier still felt a little uneasy.
Jiang Suining smiled and raised his eyebrows, "That depends on Zhong Yixue. I guess she should have prepared a backup plan before going to the Marquis' Mansion."
……
In the hall of Mingchang Marquis' Mansion.
Looking at the eldest princess and Marquis Mingchang who had just threatened her on the main seat, Zhong Yixiu knelt on the ground. Instead of showing any fear, she smiled.
"What are you laughing at!" The eldest princess frowned.
"Nothing." Zhong Yixue shook her head. "It is just as the princess and the marquis said just now. I am now just an orphan with no one to rely on. Even if you kill me and declare that I died accidentally, the Zhong family will not be able to cause any trouble. At most, it will just be the gossip of the people."
"Humph, that's good if you know."
"But..." Zhong Yixue covered her wound and sighed, "Although I am an orphan with no one to rely on, I also cherish my life very much. Since I dared to follow you into the Marquis of Mingchang's mansion today, I naturally made preparations."
"What did you do?" asked Marquis Mingchang.
"I heard that the young master of the Linyang Marquis's family had his legs broken by Prince Yuwen some time ago, and he is still lying at home. The younger brother of the Linyang Marquis is now working in the Censorate. By the way, there is another censor named Liu in the Censorate, and he seems to have some grievances with the Marquis."
Zhong Yixiu paused, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"They are afraid of the Marquis and the Princess, so they naturally dare not say much. But if I die in the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion, a life is at stake, and there are so many people as witnesses, do you think the Marquis and the Princess will seize the opportunity to severely impeach me?"
The faces of Marquis Mingchang and the eldest princess both darkened.
"You are so bold that not only did you frame me, but now you even dare to threaten my father and mother!" Yuwen Huan walked in from outside.
He has bathed and changed again.
Yuwen Huan was already furious because Zhong Yixiu had deliberately bumped into him and falsely accused him of assault. When he heard those words outside the door just now, he became even more furious.
"Zhong Yixue, do you really think that this prince dare not do anything to you?"
Without waiting for Yuwen Huan to get close, Zhong Yixiu suddenly pulled out the dagger from her sleeve.
"What are you doing!" The eldest princess was startled and quickly signaled her son to stay away.
"Don't worry, Princess. I'm just a commoner. I wouldn't dare to do anything to you, the Marquis, or the Prince." Zhong Yixue put the dagger on her neck. "The only thing I dare to do is to slit my throat in front of you and die in the Marquis of Mingchang's mansion."
"Stop trying to scare people here. I don't believe you really dare to do anything!" Yuwen Huan looked at Zhong Yixiu coldly.
The latter laughed and applied a little more strength in his hand, and a bloody mark was immediately left on the white neck.
"Stop!" Mingchang Hou hurriedly stopped him, "What do you want?"
"Father, she..."
"Shut up." Mingchang Hou interrupted Yuwen Huan, "You are the one who caused the trouble."
The Zhong family has fallen into such a state, it is not worth mentioning at all. Even if they want to take revenge for what happened before, why do they have to do it themselves? It is really troublesome to make such a mess.
Even if Zhong Yixiu's life was worthless, she was right about one thing just now. If someone really died in the Zhong family, someone would definitely use this matter to make trouble.
The Zhong family is nothing, but the Censorate is not to be trifled with!
