The concubine is also very good today

So in the following days, the family began to arrange the matter of Jingxi's engagement. Chang Shangshu was not optimistic about this marriage at first, but Chang Yujin insisted on marrying, and Mrs. Chang also stood by Chang Yujin. Chang Shangshu couldn't stand the two mothers singing together, so he agreed.

As soon as the marriage between the two families was concluded, the concubines from Andinghou's mansion came to congratulate them, and by the way sent maids and maids to bring various gifts, which filled Jingxi's courtyard gate.

Although Jing Yu didn't want to get involved in Jing Xi's marriage, but seeing people in the house giving gifts one after another, she asked Xu Ruyi for her opinion.

"Princess, should we bring a gift to elder brother?"

Xu Ruyi was grinding and painting in the hall at the moment, and when she heard that Jing Yu came to inquire about her wishes, she chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I've already delivered the gift."

"Eh? What did you get? Do you know what my elder brother likes?"

Xu Ruyi raised her eyes and met Jing Yu's clear eyes.

"It doesn't matter what he likes, he has to accept what I give him. If there is any resentment in his heart, I'll wait for him to rush into the princess mansion to find me."

The corners of Jing Yu's lips parted slightly, and she suddenly felt that although this little aunt was a little crazy, she was very crazy!
But what Jing Yu didn't know was——

At this moment, when Jing Xi was sorting things out, he found the gift from Xu Ruyi, and Jing Xi was almost so angry with what she gave him that he turned the table over!
Then Xu Ruyi actually sent a picture of deep love, which was drawn by Xu Ruyi herself!

Jing Xi immediately annoyed: "What does she mean?!"

Qiao Niang at the side heard Jing Xi's angry shout, and hurried over to check, and said in horror: "Could it be that she found out that we did the assassination?"

When Jing Xi heard this, he turned his head and glared at Qiao Niang, and shouted sharply: "This matter must be swallowed in the stomach, and the news must not be leaked."

Qiao Niang nodded in horror.

After Jing Xi came out of the prison, he suspected that Lin Chengqing was killed by Xu Ruyi, and Xu Ruyi insisted on going to see Lin Chengqing with him. Everyone saw the scene of the three having a happy conversation, even if Xu Ruyi didn't know it at the time. Unknowingly, Jing Xi moved his hands and feet, and Jing Xi couldn't prove it, so he could only let the matter go by unwillingly.

But afterwards, he became a scapegoat and was arrested and dismissed. In the end, Xu Ruyi begged for mercy and let him out.

If Jing Xi's suspicions are all right, then this woman is a bit scary. If such a woman stays by Jing Yu's side, it is hard to guarantee that Jing Yu will not open up to fight for the title.

He didn't dare to touch Xu Ruyi, because after all, she involved the Empress Dowager Jiang, but it was still easy to secretly inquire about Jing Yu's movements and get rid of Jing Yu.

It's just that I never thought that this matter would become a big deal, and even make the whole Dali Temple become under the command of Queen Mother Jiang. Both Jing Xi and Qiao Niang were afraid that the matter would be revealed, and they were worried that Xu Ruyi would find any clues.

After all, he doubted her, it was empty words.

But if she doubts him, she can put him to death.

Just looking at the painting that Xu Ruyi sent, Jing Xi didn't dare to analyze what she meant.

Instead, Qiao Niang boldly said a few words: "She is probably trying to test whether you are the real murderer. If you are innocent, brother, you will definitely go to court to question the meaning of this painting. If you did it, then she There may be no evidence to use this painting to satirize you as a motherless person, so don’t be domineering and rude in front of her. However, will there be a third meaning, that is, she herself has no father or mother? Is it connected with fate, maybe we can turn enemies into friends?"

Jing Xi sneered: "There is absolutely no third meaning. As long as she wants to bring Jing Yu into the court, then we will always be on opposite sides. Have you ever seen the princes in the court turning enemies into friends? Is this possible?" ?”

Ever since Xu Ruyi married into the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, Jing Xi has deeply felt the threat posed by her. Even Xiao Cao, who has been putting pressure on their brothers all the year round, bows and knees in front of her, which makes Jing Xi feel the threat all the time. Can't breathe.

"Brother Jing, what should I do?"

Jing Xi replied calmly: "Don't go to her directly, lest you fall into her tricks. It is said that there are too many gifts, and I didn't see what she gave. I would rather neglect it than keep it for myself. flaw."

So in the past few days, Xu Ruyi did not receive a reply from Jingxi, so she asked Sledgehammer to inquire, and the answer was that there were too many gifts at that time, and she didn't notice which one Xu Ruyi sent. Can't find it.

Xingtao heard the words, and immediately retorted: "How is it possible? I delivered it to his outer room with my own hands!"

Xu Ruyi's vermilion lips raised slightly: "He's being cowardly, how many concubines does Master Jing have? Even if you count all the concubines, there are only a dozen or so of them. The gifts sent to the house are just for the palace. Blind, it seems that this is self-inflicted."

Jing Yu at the side listened to Xu Ruyi's words, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The next moment, Xu Ruyi asked: "Young Lord, tell me the truth, how is your relationship with your elder brother?"

Jing Yu replied: "Generally."

"Don't hold back, tell the truth."

There was a hint of seriousness in Xu Ruyi's eyes.

Jing Yu just said something in his heart: "It's bad. I sympathized with his biological mother's early death, and let him do everything, but he hugged the big tree of his father and beat me everywhere to elevate himself. My father has been following him since he was a child, thinking that he is an elder brother who hates iron and steel, but in fact he is trying to please his father so that his father can win him more resources!"

"Is this also the reason why you want to escape from the capital?"

Jing Yu nodded weakly.

Xu Ruyi said bluntly: "If it were me, I would tear him up directly! Even if this kind of person becomes an official, he is still a rebellious master. You are so kind-hearted, and you still sympathize with him for not having a biological mother. There are so many people without fathers and mothers, and those who can survive are all relying on their own abilities, but no one survives on the sympathy of others."

When Xu Ruyi said this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. With this puppy's temperament, he couldn't survive in the capital!

Xu Ruyi said to him solemnly: "It's been so many days now, have you thought it through? Do you decide to leave the capital or stay?"

Although the road ahead may be a bit bumpy, Jing Yu still said firmly: "I want to stay in the capital!"

"reason."

"I want to stay by your side and protect you!"

Xu Ruyi, who was grinding, was caught off guard when he heard this, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped.

She raised her head in surprise, and looked at Jing Yu in disbelief.

"Your reason is to protect me?"

Jing Yu nodded firmly.

In fact, Xu Ruyi really hoped that this puppy would protect her, but it would be difficult to achieve this goal.

"Do you know what kind of person can protect me?" Xu Ruyi said solemnly, "I have Empress Dowager Jiang protecting me now. If you want to protect me, you must become a powerful minister before Empress Dowager Jiang passes away!"
