Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 152
As soon as Yan Shu left, Ji Yuxian immediately approached Su Jiu, held her face in his hands, saw that her expression was the same, her eyes were still bright, and she was relieved.

Su Jiu stretched out her palm, and a piece of broken colored glaze lay on her hand. It was a faint brown color, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"What is this?"

Ji Yuxian would never hit Yan Shu's things for no reason.

Why did Yan Shu ask her to see this Liuli over and over again?

Ji Yuxian pinched the glass piece with his long fingers, and said in a cold voice, "This seems to be the Wanmu mirror."

"What's that?" Su Jiu heard this name for the first time.

"It's an ancient relic that has been passed down for a long time. It is said that people who see it will fall into illusion and obey the other party unconsciously, but they don't know anything about it afterwards." Ji Yuxian paused and said meaningfully, "And, this ancient relic It is said that it is in the hands of the royal family of Jinli Kingdom."

"You mean that Yan Shu is from the royal family of Jinli Kingdom?" Su Jiu was startled.

"I can't be sure, but this person is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"She wants to control me?" Su Jiu frowned.

She didn't know Yan Shu and Wu Yi at all before, what exactly did they want to do to her?
"I will ask people to turn the direction of investigation to the royal family of Jinli Kingdom, and if we can't find out the origin of this woman, I will kill her!" Ji Yuxian hugged Su Jiu, his tone cold.

In short, these two people are a hidden threat to Su Jiu.

They can no longer be kept.

"Don't!" Su Jiu shook her head and narrowed her eyes slightly, "I'm really curious about their intentions. If you kill them, I will be suffocated to death! Let me solve it myself, and I will be more vigilant."

"The two are insidious and cunning, madam, be careful, if something is wrong, don't show mercy!"

"it is good!"

……

Here, Yan Shu returned to the hospital, went into the backyard angrily, locked herself in the room, and waited until dark for dinner before coming out.

After Wu Yi diagnosed the patient, he walked outside Yan Shu's door, and said with a soft smile, "Could it be that the apprentice also received Su Jiu's cold treatment?"

For a long time, no one answered in the room.

Wu Yi's eyes flashed, and he knocked on the door, "You won't be so mad! Just after opening, someone died in the medical center, which will affect the business."

There was a loud "bang", as if the tea cup fell on the door.

"Then I'll come back when your anger subsides!" Wu Yi turned around and wanted to leave.

"My eyepiece was dropped by Ji Yuxian!" Yan Shu's angry voice suddenly came from the room.

Wu Yi stood there, gloating in his tone, "You were discovered when you showed Su Jiu?"

Ji Yuxian actually knew about the Wanmu mirror, Wu Yi was a little surprised.

There was no movement in the house again.

"If you fall, you will fall, it's not a good thing!" Wu Yi sneered.

"That thing is a viscera. Although it is somewhat useful, it will absorb the essence of the master. You should throw it away long ago!"

"Being discovered by Ji Yuxian, you should be lucky to come back alive!"

Wu Yi leaned on the porch pillar, speaking slowly.

"What do you know? It was a gift from my father for my birthday!" Yan Shu's voice was slightly choked.

Wu Yi looked back at the door and said with a smile, "If your father knew what it was, he would never have given it to you!"

Yan Shu stopped talking.

The sky gradually darkened, and after a long time, the door was suddenly opened, and Yan Shu walked out with red eyes, "Without the eyepiece, how can we catch Su Jiu?"

Under the twilight, Wu Yi's eyes were gloomy and cold, "She is always negligent."

Royal Palace
The Empress Dowager only had a little ginseng soup for dinner, and the Empress Dowager Rong ate with her and helped her back to her bedroom.

In the summer night, the lotus wind sends fragrance, and the bamboo dew is clear. The Empress Dowager is strolling in the corridor, and she is not in a hurry to go back.

"By the way, that Princess Zhuoyan really stayed in the palace?" the Empress Dowager asked.

Empress Dowager Rong nodded, "Yes, the princess was drunk at the palace banquet that day, and she was placed in Cuiwei Palace. When she woke up tomorrow, she didn't mention the matter of leaving the palace, and King Ruiyang didn't come to pick her up. The emperor ordered her to go back to the post outside the palace. Going to live in the mansion, the princess turned a deaf ear to it, it seems that regardless of her reputation, she was determined to make peace with Daliang."

The Empress Dowager laughed, "How can such a woman be my queen?"

"Yes, if Jin Liguo really wants to get married, at most he can make a concubine."

"What do you mean Lieer?"

"Lie'er has been busy with state affairs these two days, I heard that she hasn't visited the princess who stays in the palace yet!"

If it wasn't for Xiao Lie's repeated resistance to accepting the concubine, the Empress Dowager Rong would have sent that Princess Zhuoyan out of the palace.

Jin Liguo's style is disdainful, and I am afraid that the Daliang royal family that has been implicated will also be ridiculed.

But Empress Dowager Rong had some selfishness, hoping that this eccentric princess would win Xiao Lie's favor and make him forget about Su Jiu.

So she turned one eye and closed the other and let her go.

"What does that woman look like? Can she still be safe in the palace?" The Empress Dowager stood in front of a hibiscus flower, stroking the petals and sniffing lightly.

"Princess Zhuoyan has been wearing a veil since she came here. She has a slim figure and looks like a beauty. She has been in the palace for the past few days, and she has done her duty. She has not disturbed the emperor." The queen mother was not in a hurry replied.

"In that case, let her stay in the palace for a few more days and get along well with Lie'er. Maybe it's a piece of fate!"

"Yes, the concubine thinks so too!"

The two admired the flowers for a while, and the Empress Dowager Rong saw that the Empress Dowager was exhausted, and helped her back to the palace to rest.

In the imperial study room, Xiao Lie had just finished reading the memorial, probably because the cicadas were annoying, so he got up and wanted to go for a walk.

"Your Majesty, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, why don't you go there to relax?" Eunuch Fu carefully suggested.

Without saying a word, Xiao Lie walked towards the small garden between Fushou Palace and Yuming Palace after entering the inner palace.

The moonlight is bleak and the stars are boundless. As soon as you enter the garden, you will be greeted by bursts of fragrance.

Stepping on the trail, Xiao Lie remembered that he had met Su Jiu here several times. At that time, she was the young wife of the Ji Mansion, and he was the prince. Because of her status, he tried to keep a distance from her.

Now turning around, the two returned to their original positions.

But this time, could he still forget her.

The most unwilling thing in my heart is to gain and lose again!
Xiao Lie was in a trance all the way, when he suddenly heard a woman's laughter from the flowers in front of him, he paused, looked up, and saw that there was indeed someone in the garden.

Eunuch Fu frowned, and was about to ask who it was, but was blocked by Xiao Lie.

Apart from the maids, of course the only young woman in the palace is Princess Zhuoyan who just came from Jinli Kingdom.

Xiao Lie was tall and straight, standing behind a flower tree, looking at the woman in front of him lightly.

Princess Zhuoyan still had a veil on her face, wearing palace attire, and a dozen golden hairpins on her head, shining golden light under the moonlight.

At this time, she was holding a large bouquet of flowers in her hand, and she was surrounded by four or five palace maids, running back and forth among the flowers.

"What kind of flower is this? It smells so good!" Zhuo Yan's eyes lit up outside the veil, picked a flower and sniffed it under his nose.

"Back to the princess, this is a peony flower!" A maid hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"Peony? That's a nice name too!" The woman laughed, then ran under a tree and asked, "What is this?"

"Back to the princess, this is Camellia!"

"Camellia?" the woman asked in surprise, "Is this the tea tree? The kind of tea you drink?"

The little palace maid laughed and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Back to the princess!" A court lady next to her immediately muffled the laughter of the maid next to her, "This camellia and tea tree are two different things."

She paused and asked, "Hasn't the princess seen peonies and camellias in Jinli country?"

The peonies and camellias planted in the palace are rare varieties, but they are not much different from ordinary flower species. Why does this princess seem to have never seen anything?
Zhuo Yan immediately straightened his back because the maid was laughing at her for not seeing the world, "You don't have any of the flowers that we own in Jinli, so what's so rare!" Immediately knelt down in fear.

After such a commotion, Zhuo Yan lost interest in looking at the flowers, threw the flowers in his hand, and strode out of the garden along the path.

Xiao Lie looked at the back of the woman who was walking away angrily, and asked, "Are there no peonies and camellias in Jinli Country?"

Eunuch Fu thought for a while and said, "There should be some!"

In the dimness, Xiao Lie's eyes were deep, thoughtful.

When Zhuo Yan returned to Cuiwei Palace, Jia Yi, a maid who served her before, ran out immediately, "Where did the princess go, let the slaves find it easier!"

"My princess was so bored and panicked, I went out for a walk!" Zhuo Yan's eyes flickered, and he said softly.

"It's late at night, this servant will help you take a bath and go to bed!" Maid Jiayi walked to her side and helped her to the bedroom.

After all, they are from Jinli country, even if they live in the palace, they can't bring too many maids, Jiayi is the only one left to serve Princess Zhuoyan.

After entering the palace, Jiayi pushed the other maids back, closed the palace door, turned her head and immediately changed her expression indifferently, "In the future, it is better not to wander around without servants accompanying the princess!"

A woman sits in front of a dressing table,
Taking off the veil, revealing a beautiful face, he said displeasedly, "Can't I go out for a walk?"

She has a beautiful appearance, wearing gold hairpins on her head, she is radiant, but her skin is not the kind of white that noble women in Shengjing like, it seems to have been exposed to the sun often, and has a light wheat color.

"If the princess doesn't listen, then the servant has no choice but to ask the prince to come and talk to the princess!" Jiayi said softly, without any respect in her tone.

The woman frowned, "Forget it, I don't care about you like you, I just don't go out from now on! But I have been staying in this palace for a few days, do you have any news from the prince?"

"Not yet, please wait patiently, princess!"

Jiayi said, stepped forward to remove her make-up, looked at the woman's head full of jewels and gold hairpins, and couldn't help frowning, "Princess, don't wear all the jewelry on your head next time, as if you have never seen it before, Jin Liguo is not as good as Daliang, You are also the princess of a country, so you will be ridiculed!"

The woman's palms under the sleeves were clenched suddenly, she had nothing to say when she heard Jiayi's sarcasm, she just gritted her teeth and turned her head away.

……

In the afternoon of this day, the weather was scorching hot, Su Jiu was hugged by Ji Yuxian and took a nap for an hour, and when she woke up, she was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

After getting out of the shower, Su Jiu saw a steward entering the study room, Su Jiu was bored, so she went out alone.

Walking to the gate of the mansion, I met Zhang Quandan guarding the gate.

Zhang Quandan was very surprised to see Su Jiu, "When did the young lady return home?"

The guard guarding the door next to him wished he could slap him to death.

It has been nearly ten days since the young lady came back, and Zhang Quandan didn't even know who went in and out every day.

Su Jiu smiled and said, "It's a miracle that you are still in the Ji Mansion!"

It's really surprising that a confused person like Zhang Quandan, who doesn't fit Ji Yuxian's aesthetics, has stayed in Ji's residence for so many years.

Zhang Quandan patted his head and laughed, "Young Master said, I might starve to death if I go out, and if I stay here, I will save someone's life and build a seven-level pagoda!"

"Pfft!" Su Jiu laughed out loud, "Young Master, you are right!"

Fortune favors fools!
Su Jiu patted him on the shoulder, "Work hard, don't disappoint the eldest son's trust in you!"

"Yes!" Zhang Quandan stood upright excitedly.

Today is June [-]th, the day when Su Jiu went to the restaurant to check the accounts, and asked Ermao to drive to Qingxinlou, but Qiao An was also there.

Seeing Su Jiu coming, Qiao An put down the account book, and said with a smile, "Today, I will take a break, and come to the restaurant to check the account. If the boss thinks it's too hot, don't go out for two days!"

"It's okay!" Su Jiu said, and sat down with Qiao An to reconcile the accounts together.

Li Tai asked Jieshu's iced mung bean soup to be brought to the two of them. Su Jiu drank a couple of sips. The soup contained the sweetness of mung beans, refreshing and quenching his thirst.

On the opposite side, Qiao An was wearing a light blue brocade cannon, a jade crown on her head, and an elegant and gentle face. Although she was already an important minister in the court, she did not have any high-ranking bureaucratic air, and she was always as gentle as jade.

Now both Hu Dapao and A Shu have their own families, only Qiao An is still alone, and looks ascetic every day.

In fact, Qiao An is only 32 years old, he really can't be called old, does he want to be alone all his life?
Joan looked up and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Su Jiu turned her head and glanced out the window. The sun was shining brightly, and many women dressed in fancy dress were shopping.

Putting down the ledger, Su Jiu said, "Let's not look at the ledger anymore, let's go for a walk!"

"Where are you going?" Joan asked.

Su Jiu thought for a while, "Let's go on a cruise!"

Many of the passengers on the cruise ship are young women, maybe they can meet Joan by fate.

Although the chance of this is very small, if you just sit at home, it is impossible to even have it.

"It's a hot day, it's better not to go out!" Joan flipped through the account book and said.

"Drinking flowers and wine on a cruise ship, I will take you to eat meat today!" Su Jiu said, pulling Qiao An's arm and walking out.

Qiao An shook her head and smiled, seeing that Su Jiu was in high spirits, she also followed her.

Ermao drove the carriage and led the two of them towards the Huanhuaxi River.

Huanhua Creek in summer is the most bustling and bustling, with countless ships of all sizes, the fragrance of fat is stronger than that of flowers, and the laughter of women is clearer and louder than the cries of vendors on the shore.

Su and Jiu went to a boathouse casually, the banks of the river were shaded by willows and the breeze was blowing, many people stood on the boards of the boat to enjoy the shade and enjoy the scenery.

There were too many people on board, so Su Jiu and Qiao An entered the cabin.

Most people were enjoying the scenery outside the boat, but the cabin was extremely sparse and clean.

The servant came over and said with a smile, "Two guests, let's go to the second floor. It's cooler and the scenery is better."

"Okay!" Su Jiu nodded, and rewarded the boy with some broken silver.

The boy smiled immediately, and was more considerate than before, leading Su Jiu and Qiao An to the second floor.

On the second floor, the river wind is stronger, and it is indeed cooler. There are many private rooms in the boat hall, separated by bamboo curtains. Each private room has a large window, and you can see the scenery on the river.

The servant found a private room with the best view for Su Jiu, poured tea and a fruit plate for the two of them, and asked, "What else do you two want?"

"A few of your specialty dishes, and two jugs of sake!"

"Okay! Two honored guests, please take a seat, we'll be here right away!" Xiaoer laughed, lifted the curtain and went out.

The two sat down for a while, and a woman also went up to the second floor, with a maid behind her, and was led by the servant to the elegant room next to Su Jiu and the others.

"Miss, you've always been unhappy these days, how nice it is to go out for a walk!" The little maid seemed to be persuading their miss.

"What's so unhappy? Don't talk nonsense!" The woman raised her eyebrows and scolded the maid.

"I see you are suffering from lovesickness!" the little maid snickered.

"Little girl, you're talking nonsense even more, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll have someone throw you off the boat!" the lady said a little angrily.

"The slave girl is not talking nonsense. I saw the lady staring at the umbrella in a daze several times in the night. Didn't she commit lovesickness? That young master is also true. He said he would meet with the lady again. It has been so long, how could he not does not appear?"

"You still talk!" The woman's ears turned red, she looked around, only to feel that there was a figure sitting in the elegant room behind her, and she became more and more embarrassed, "If you continue, I will really tear your mouth!"

"Okay! Don't say anything!" The little maid smiled mischievously.

In the elegant room next door, Su Jiu listened verbatim to the conversation between the master and the servant opposite, and wondered which girl was moved, and turned around to see Qiao An holding a teacup in a daze, stretching out her hand on him. With a flash in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking?"

Qiao An raised his head suddenly, curled his lips into a slow smile, and a pair of warm eyes revealed a faint light.

There was the sound of pouring tea from the next door, and the little maid changed the subject and tone, "When we came out today, look at the shyness of the second lady, I'm afraid others won't know that her husband snatched it from the young lady. go!"

The woman said nothing.

The little maid continued, "It's just bullying Miss because she has such a good temper that the servants in the family can't stand it anymore. It was originally Miss's marriage, so she took advantage of it and ran on Miss. It's too much."

The woman said lightly, "It's fine to just let her go. Speaking of which, I still want to be grateful to her!"

For a person like Zhang Yun, if she really marries, her whole life will be ruined. Fang Yuan likes it, so give it to her!
"When we came out, I saw that Second Miss and Mr. Zhang seemed to be out too!" the little maid said again.

"Well, don't keep staring at others, what happens to them has nothing to do with us." The woman said calmly.

After listening to these two sentences, Su Jiu understood that the girl's fiancé was snatched away by her younger sister, and the little maid was complaining here.

Joan held the tea, seemingly thinking about something, but was speechless for a while.

There were more and more people on board, and the boat began to leave the shore, rowing towards the center of the river.

On the board of the boat are all young ladies and gentlemen, talented men and beautiful women, Yingyingyanyan, silk and bamboo are melodious, what a lively scene.

At this time, Xiao Er brought up the wine and dishes, and put them on the table one by one, "You two distinguished guests, please use this. There is a bell on this bamboo curtain. If you need anything, pull this rope, and we will come right away!"

Xiao Er stepped back, Su Jiu poured wine for Qiao An, "The scenery is so beautiful, let's do it together!"

Joan laughed softly, "Can you drink? Don't go back and be scolded by the eldest son again!"

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "He dare not control me!"

Qiao An laughed, and didn't know who kept saying the wrong thing when he was drunk and being scolded.

He raised his hand and poured out half of the wine in Su Jiu's hand, "Just drink half a glass!"

Su Jiu said with a smile, "Okay, half a glass is fine too!"

Joan chuckled speechlessly.

The boat gradually sailed towards the center of the river, surrounded by the painted boats of brothels, and the soft voices and the sound of silk and bamboo floating on the river, creating a charming atmosphere.

Su Jiu turned her head to look at the sparkling river, and heard footsteps faintly, as if someone had gone upstairs again.

I only heard the little maid next door lift the curtain and go out to refill tea, she seemed to know the person who just went upstairs, and greeted with a bit of reluctance,
"The servant has seen the second young lady!"

Qiao An suddenly turned her head, looked through the bamboo curtain, and vaguely saw a man and a woman coming up.

The visitors were indeed Fang Zhen, the second young lady of the Fang family, and her fiancé Zhang Yun.

Seeing the servant girl Liu Er startled slightly, Fang Yuan raised her eyebrows and asked sharply, "Why are you here?"

Liu'er said, "The servant girl accompanied the young lady to cruise."

Zhang Yun said with a smile, "It turns out that your young lady is here, what a coincidence!"

Hearing the sound, Fang Yuan turned her head to look at Zhang Yun, with a look of coldness in her eyes, no wonder he wanted to come to the cruise ship, it turned out that he came with Fang Zhen.

"Is your lady in there?" Zhang Yun probed into the elegant room.

At this time Fang Zhen also heard the movement outside, a look of disgust flashed across her brows, she turned a deaf ear to Zhang Yun's question and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Liu'er had no choice but to reply, "Yes!"

"In that case, wouldn't it be nice for us to drink and enjoy the scenery together!" Zhang Yun said, and without waiting for Fang Yuan's consent, he raised the bamboo curtain and walked in.

Fang Yuan had no choice but to follow.

Seeing that the two of them entered without invitation, Liu'er frowned, and hurried back without pouring the tea.

"Xiaosheng has met Miss Fang!" Zhang Yun bowed to Fang Zhen, looking very polite, like a scholar who knows etiquette and elegance.

"Meet my sister!" Fang Yuan also said with a half-smile.

Fang Zhen nodded lightly, "Sit down!"

Zhang Yun sat across from Fang Zhen, with burning eyes, and said with a smile, "If we know that Miss Fang is here for a cruise, we should come out together when we are at Fang's house, lest the lady be left alone, which makes people feel distressed!"

The woman was dressed in a long jade-colored brocade dress, her figure was slim, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her eyes were like autumn water, and she was sitting in front of the carved window, reflecting the rippling river outside. Zhang Yun lost his mind all of a sudden, and blurted out the words lightly.

Fang Yuan's complexion suddenly paled, and she gave Zhang Yun a hard look.

Fang Zhen looked indifferent, and said indifferently, "I like someone alone, but when there are too many people, I feel noisy!"

Fang Yuan immediately took Zhang Yun's arm, and said in a sour tone
, "Sister means that she thinks we are annoying, I think we should go!"

Zhang Yun seemed unable to hear the dislike in Fang Zhen's mouth, pushed Fang Yuan's hand away and said with a smile, "Miss Fang definitely didn't mean that, she just disliked outsiders making trouble."

Seeing that this person was so cheeky, Fang Zhen didn't say much, just lowered her head and sipped her tea.

Seeing that Zhang Yun kept looking at the opposite side, Fang Yuan was jealous and hated. She rolled her eyes, got up with the teapot and said, "The little girl here is too lazy. She doesn't even know how to refill the water when it's gone. I'll go pour some water!"

Liu'er hurriedly said, "Young maidservant, let's go!"

"No need!" Fang Yuan blocked Liu'er, "I'll come back as soon as I go, you serve the elder sister well!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yuan went out.

As soon as Fang Yuan left, Zhang Yun lost all fear, leaned forward, and said with a smile, "Miss Fang usually likes to come on cruise ships? I also like the scenery on this boat. Why don't you make an appointment and come together next time."

Fang Zhen's face was cold, "If Fang Yuan hears Mr. Zhang's words, he will misunderstand again."

Zhang Yun giggled and said, "What are you afraid of if you misunderstand? You and I are husband and wife. It must be Fang Yuan's mother who played tricks and broke us up. This kind of selfish and shameless conspiracy, we should expose them."

In the past, Liu'er liked this young master Zhang more, but now seeing him and Fang Yuan kissing me, turning around and molesting their young lady again, so frivolous, it really makes people feel uncomfortable, and said sarcastically,

"Mr. Zhang, if you really like our young lady, you can go to Aunt Sun and withdraw from the marriage. This kind of eating and drinking is not what a noble gentleman with good manners would do!"

Fang Zhen couldn't sit still with this hypocrite, got up and said, "Liu Er, let's go!"

Zhang Yun immediately got up and stood in front of Fang Zhen, "Why is Miss Fang leaving before I drink the tea? If you and I discuss it carefully, it's hard to find a good-looking man like me with a good family background. How about this? I'll go and talk to you." Aunt Sun said, if I marry you and Fang Yuan together, I will accept you as my wife and be equal to Fang Yuan, and I will treat you sisters equally."

"Bah!" Fang Zhen blushed angrily, and raised her hand to hit the man's face.

As soon as Zhang Yun grabbed her hand, he smiled crookedly, "Don't be angry, lady, you can be a wife, she can be a wife, anyway, it's just the three of us to discuss."

Before he could finish his sentence, the bamboo curtain was thrown aside abruptly. Fang Yuan shouted coldly, "What are you doing? My own sister is really good. As soon as my sister left, you started to seduce my husband!"
