Bondage

Song Wan learned that the Chen family had come to withdraw from the marriage, and there was a lot of trouble, so he had to come forward to talk.

Although she didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Hou's mansion, there was absolutely no other way for a woman to be divorced by her husband's family, let alone a family of a girl who had stigmatized her name like Jiang Jing.

Asking people to welcome the mother-in-law and official media who came to retire into the mansion, Song Wan said with a cold face: "Retiring is a major matter for the two houses. You are talking about my girl from the Hou's house indiscriminately and ruining the reputation of the Hou's house. I don't know but do it well." Are you ready to tear your skin apart with the Hou Mansion?"

The official media who came to retire said with a smile: "Where is Madam's words, it is not spread in Beijing now..."

"You also know that it's rumored, it's rumored but you haven't really caught the handle, so hastily convicted the third lady of the mansion, if that's the case, can I also say that Mrs. Chen's hands and feet are broken, the Chen family is full of viciousness and wantonness, and there is no morality from top to bottom ?”

"Hey, this is why your Hou Fu is unreasonable."

Mrs. Chen drooped her eyelids, a little afraid to look at Song Wan.

"What do you say that your Hou's mansion is involving me? What kind of tricks... Isn't that what Aunt Lin herself said that the women of the Hou's mansion are smelly at home, and won't marry me as Chen's wife?"

"She retired from this marriage first. Aunt Lin herself admitted that the third lady of the Hou's mansion didn't follow women's morals and read those miscellaneous and evil books. What are you talking about with me now? Could it be that the Hou's mansion still wants to take advantage of its position to overwhelm us? No?"

"..."

Although Song Wan prided himself on his sharp words, now that Lin Jiayue admitted that Jiang Jing read those miscellaneous books, he was speechless for a while.

"This marriage is not something our Chen family wants to retire."

Seeing that Song Wan was at a loss for words, Mrs. Chen stroked the hairpin on her head and said, "Since the Hou family doesn't like our Chen family, there's no need for the two of you to have any grudges, and you'll be happy to leave the marriage. It's good for everyone."

Song Wanning frowned: "The Hou Mansion does not accept the Chen family's reason for withdrawing marriage."

Jiang Jing must not bear the reputation of being unfeminine.

What will happen to a girl who has not left the cabinet, with such a reputation in the future?

Song Wan looked back at Jiang Xingjian, and Jiang Xingjian nodded towards her with a gloomy expression.

"The Geng invitation has been changed, and this marriage is settled. The Chen family only waits for the fifteenth day of next month to come to welcome the relatives. If the Chen family regrets the marriage, my Marquis Mansion will investigate to the end."

"Mrs. Chen is so self-sufficient..."

Song Wan hadn't finished speaking when she saw Aunt Zhou coming from the inner courtyard crying. She cried so heartbreakingly that everyone was slightly dazed.

"Master Hou, hurry up and save my Jinger, Jinger threw herself into a well..."

Jiang Xingjian got up quickly, and he asked Song Wan to wait here, while he himself asked a few rough envoys from the outer courtyard to help.Aunt Zhou followed her all the way, crying and shouting. Mrs. Chen said embarrassingly: "I never thought that the third girl of the Hou's family would have a strong personality. If I think about it, those are all rumors."

"Since such a big incident happened in the Hou's mansion, I don't want to bother you here, so I'll go back to the mansion first."

Mrs. Chen pulled the official media to leave, but she heard Song Wan scolded coldly: "Stop me."

"Today, you'd better pray that the third girl in my mansion is unscathed. If there is anything wrong with the third girl, my Marquis Manor will live with the Chen family forever."

A group of rough envoys stepped forward to stop Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen yelled: "Bastard! My husband is also an important minister in the court, how dare you treat me like this?"

Song Wan clenched her fists, her heart pounding.

What emerged in my mind was the scene of Aunt Zhou taking Jiang Jing to Lan Courtyard to pay her respects that day. The little girl smiled shyly, with a pair of pear dimples on her cheeks, looking playful and lovely.

At that time, she was not contaminated by worldly affairs, and her round eyes were full of girlish innocence.

But now...

Song Wan's palms were full of sweat, and his eye sockets were also slightly hot.

Holding back her tears, she said coldly: "If the third girl is safe and sound, everything will be fine. If Jiang Jing died today because of the aggressiveness of the Chen family, the Chen family will wait for a white wedding in seven days."

"you dare!"

"Let's see if I dare or not!"

Picking up the teacup at hand, Song Wan put it back again as he watched the slightly trembling hand.

Not long after, there was a burst of mourning from the inner courtyard, and the sound of sobbing made her heart tremble.

Soon the rough made the old lady come out carrying the bamboo pole in silence, her head was covered with a thin white cloth, showing a slender figure.

"Jiang……"

With a sob in his throat, Song Wan's eyes turned red and he staggered on his feet. He couldn't believe that the lively little girl he had seen a few days ago had really disappeared today.

Aunt Zhou was stopped in the Yu'an Courtyard by the woman in the mansion, and Jiang Jing's body was to be sent to the Jixiang Garden in the mansion.

Jiang Xingjian's face was as cold as frost, gloomy beyond words.

The mother-in-law carried Jiang Jing's body past the crowd, the bamboo frame trembled slightly, and a slender hand slipped from under the white cloth.He held a small sheepskin rattle with a white jade handle tightly in his hand, and occasionally it would make a crisp sound when bumped.

Lin Jiayue sat paralyzed in front of the screen wall, watching the person carry the bamboo frame away, looking distraught.

Jiang Jing is an unmarried girl, so she doesn't set up a mourning hall or enter her ancestral grave, so she can only be mourned in Jixiang Garden.Song Wan couldn't bear her end like this, lowered his eyes and said to the woman beside him: "Find ten servants to escort Mrs. Chen back to the mansion, and hold a wedding for the third young lady and Young Master Chen in seven days."

Jiang Xingjian nodded, and the woman beside her went looking for someone.

Mrs. Chen yelled that Lin Jiayue withdrew from the marriage and had nothing to do with the Chen family, but no one responded to her.

Song Wan went back to Lan Courtyard with the support of Heng Zhiheng Wu, Jiang Xingjian walked to the screen wall, Lin Jiayue was already crying.

"How can someone be so stupid as to throw himself into a well for Lao Shizi's illusory reputation? Reading a few love novels in his own room, how can he be regarded as losing his virginity? Throwing himself into a well for such a reason...how can it be so ridiculous?"

"It's all a group of lunatics, a group of lunatics..."

Lin Jiayue's mind was full of Jiang Jing's extremely pale hands, and her ears were also filled with the clear and crisp sound of skin drums.

Her face was full of tears, and her eyes were slumped but empty, leaning against the screen wall.

Jiang Xingjian passed by her, but didn't stop, and left.

The whole Hou's mansion was quiet, although a girl left, there was no trace of whiteness in the mansion, only Jixiangyuan set up a nanmu coffin, put one or two copper basins for burning paper money, and a few scattered servants numbly threw in a few pieces from time to time. A piece of yellow paper.

Song Wan sat in front of the desk, her eyes were red but she didn't cry.

"Look for two women and maids to accompany Aunt Zhou in Yu'an Courtyard. In addition, I will pay 500 taels of silver from my dowry to buy a dowry for Jiang Jing."

"There is a lot of chaos in the mansion, find someone to protect Jiang Jing's coffin, don't let anyone open the things buried with him at will."

"I'm looking for someone to ask Lord Hou, how the Chen family and Jiang Jing's marriage will be handled, and if the Chen family refuses to comply, will the Hou family back down, and to what extent."

Heng Wu wiped away his tears and went to look for Jiang Xingjian, and got a sentence that he must bury Jiang Jing in Chen Jiazu's grave at any cost, Song Wan nodded and sighed quietly: "It's not as I imagined, it's completely soft bones."

"Miss, do you want to inform Madam and Madam about the third young lady?"

"Send someone to inform Madam, as for talking to different old Madams, let Madam decide for herself."

Xiang Cao went to the courtyard to look for the little maid who sent the message, and Jiang Xingjian also sent a servant to inform other people in the mansion.

But Jiang Yan was not at the residence, he was discussing business matters with Xiao Jiye at the wine shop.
