After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

Naturally, a piece of ice cream can't completely soothe the sadness and injustice in his heart after learning the truth.

But at any rate, this sweetness pulled him out of the muddy negative emotions, allowing him to finally look at all this with a little sobriety and calmness.

He slightly softened his expression, and the aura around him became warmer visible to the naked eye. He looked at Lou Rongrong, paused slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Thank you."

Lou Rongrong pushed the plate containing the ice cream cake towards him:

"This is a pastry newly developed by the chef of the palace. It uses shredded coconut from Nanliangbo. It tastes light and sweet. If you like it, you can take some back to your home."

"Since you have seen the matter of Zhongyihou's mansion... Regarding how to deal with them, the emperor's elder brother said, if you have any ideas, you can enter the palace and talk to him after the court tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his head and picked up a piece of pastry by himself, without saying a word.

Both of them knew that what Ying Ze meant was that the truth could not be made public for the time being, otherwise Bei Qin would also know that Daqing already knew about their detention and torture of Jiang Xinyue.

In this way, if Daqing didn't ask Bei Qin for an explanation in time, and if he wanted to ask about the crime after a while, he would lose the opportunity.

But if he were to challenge Bei Qin at this moment, Daqing, who had lost a lot of national strength because of King Li's rebellion not long ago, still had to weigh whether he had the confidence.

So right now, the best way to deal with it is to resolve this matter under the banner of others.

That is to say, Jiang Yu still can't restore his identity in a legitimate way, and Jiang Yang will still occupy the reputation of being a hero of Daqing.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was silent.

Originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but before Jiang Yu had the opportunity to enter the palace to meet Ying Ze the next day, the Zhongyi Hou's Mansion reported to the court that Zhongyi Hou Jiangyang suffered from a serious illness, suddenly fell ill, and died.

When the news came, Lou Rongrong was drawing a pen and sketching, for the assessment of the Girls' Academy soon, to write the important content that everyone in the academy might be able to take into account—referred to as guessing questions.

Knowing that Jiang Yang died at the mansion, Lou Rongrong was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyes to Du Juan who hurried to deliver the message, and asked:

"Last night, when Marquis Zhongyi passed away, who was there?"

Rhododendron replied:

"It is said that the situation was urgent, the scene was chaotic, and when the doctor arrived in a hurry, Hou Zhongyi had already passed away, only Mrs. Zhongyihou was by his side, and Mr. Bao'er and Mr. Jiang Shizi arrived later.

"

"I heard that Mrs. Zhongyi Hou's family was also affected by a serious disease. Before dawn, she ordered people to bury Zhongyihou. Even the second wife who was the most beloved of Zhongyihou was stopped by Mrs. Hou and could not see her." Zhongyihou's body was found, so the second wife is still kneeling outside Madam Hou's room, crying and crying, calling Madam Hou a vicious heart, killing Zhongyihou."

Lou Rongrong pulled the corner of her lips and said mockingly:

"My mother, Bao'er, has always been favored by the Marquis of Zhongyi for her innocence, but now she can see it clearly. It seems that she is not purely stupid."

Rhododendron was surprised:

"Master, what you mean is...Hou Zhongyi, was it true that Mrs. Hou killed him?"

Lou Rongrong dipped his pen in ink and continued to write on the paper without looking up:

"It's not necessarily her who caused the death. If my predictions are correct, it is likely that Hou Zhongyi committed suicide by himself. However, for him to think of this step, I am afraid that Madam Hou's credit is indispensable."

Chun Han rubbed the ink for her, thoughtfully said:

"Master, you mean... after Mrs. Hou knew what Zhongyihou had done, she persuaded Zhongyihou to commit suicide?"

Lou Rongrong rolled up her sleeves, stopped writing and put it aside, uncovered the paper full of ink inscriptions in front of her, observed it through the light for a while, and handed it to Chun Han along with the stack of written documents on the side, and continued:

"If I were Mrs. Hou, I'm afraid I would make the same choice. If one dies, the entire government will be affected. Naturally, the former is more cost-effective. It's just that it is cheaper for Zhong Yihou, and death is too easy."

After Chun Han gathered up the documents, Lou Rongrong glanced at them and ordered:

"Send it to the academy, ask some professors to revise it, send it to the students of the academy to have a look, the assessment is only a few days away, it's up to them whether the academy can continue to run, if they are still unfamiliar Understand, learn what should be learned, ask what should be asked, and must not be neglected lightly."

Chun Han responded, and Lou Rongrong Fang turned the conversation back to the matter of Zhong Yihou:

"If my prediction is correct, the body of Hou Zhongyi who has been buried in the rumors may still be lying in the Proton Mansion at this moment, Du Juan, send someone to investigate."

Both of them retreated under orders, leaving Lou Rongrong alone in the room, looking at the desolate snow scene outside, he couldn't help but sigh.

Because of Bao'er, she inevitably had dealings with this Mrs. Hou several times.

This Mrs. Hou is also from a noble family. She married Jiang Yang when she was bestowed by the late emperor. In fact, it is hard to say that there is any affection between the two of them.

What's more, Jiang Yang, who was born in Jiangmen, has always disliked the various noble styles of his first wife. Later, after marrying Jiang Baoer's mother, she spoiled her concubine and killed her wife, and everyone in the capital knew her favoritism.

Fortunately, this Mrs. Hou is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although she is not favored by her husband, she has firmly grasped the right to be the head of the Hou Mansion. No matter how favored the other concubines are, they will not be able to shake her and her own son's status as heirs.

And as far as Lou Rongrong knew, this Mrs. Hou was a family member, and she had never made things difficult for her concubine's other heirs, which can be seen from Bao'er's closeness and trust in this aunt.

Lou Rongrong was not surprised that such a person made today's choice.

If Jiang Yang is still alive, Jiang Yu will definitely not let the Houfu go. At that time, maybe Yingze will not be able to reveal the truth to the public for the time being, but he has a way to put another hat on Zhongyihoufu.

Whether the Hou Mansion can protect itself depends entirely on whether Ying Ze will be lenient and only deal with Jiang Yang and let others go.

But this possibility is obviously very small. The greater possibility is that the entire Hou Mansion will be buried with Jiang Yang. Even if he does not die, he may not have the glory he has now.

Mrs. Hou was obviously aware of this, so she made a decisive decision and made a very calm decision, persuading Jiang Yang to kill himself.

Once Jiang Yang died, Jiang Yu would be able to dispel a lot of anger when he came. Second, everyone was dead. If Ying Ze wanted to find another reason to deal with the Hou's mansion at this time, it seemed a bit inappropriate.

In addition, so far, the Jiang family is still full of loyalty to the outside world. If Ying Ze wants to pursue it, the people and other officials may think it is too mean.

And Jiang Yang obviously didn't want to hurt his wife and children, so he chose to commit suicide without much hesitation.

In this way, the impact on the Hou Mansion was naturally minimized, but correspondingly, Jiang Yu could only be forced to swallow this breath.
