Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Jiang Xinghui raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Lu Zhao smiled bitterly: "You don't know! Mrs. Fang Ruyan of the Marquis of Loyalty was childhood sweethearts with the current emperor when they were young. It was thought that the two would be an enviable perfect couple, but for some reason, they had a big fight. After she came of age, she was granted marriage to her father, who was still the prince at the time."

"However, right after the wedding night, my father was sent to the battlefield the next day. Coincidentally, my mother was pregnant. It was not until the child was born that my father returned with success and successfully inherited the title of Marquis of Loyalty."

"But what no one knows is that during the nearly ten months my father spent on the battlefield, he was assassinated many times and finally managed to survive and return to the court. When I was thirteen years old, the emperor arranged for me to join the war even though I had no combat experience. Fortunately, my father was worried about me and personally led the army and went to the battlefield with me."

"My good reputation in the Imperial City also comes from this. They all think that heroes emerge young and the emperor has a keen eye for talent. But all this was forced upon me!"

Lu Zhao smiled sarcastically, reminiscing about the past.

Jiang Xinghui's eyes were already filled with tears at this time, and he looked at Lu Zhao with sympathy.

"Then tell me, Hui'er, why is this happening? Why do my father and I have to go through this?"

He smiled sadly and continued.

"Not long after I was born, my mother accidentally learned about my father's experience on the battlefield. At the same time, something happened to my maternal grandfather's Fang family. Perhaps it was too much of a blow for my mother, and she became seriously ill. She didn't recognize either my father or me. It was at that time that my father married Aunt Hua into the mansion. She took care of me and all the affairs of the mansion on behalf of my mother since I was a child. I am lucky enough to be alive today."

After Lu Zhao finished speaking, Jiang Xinghui could no longer hold back and hugged him tightly, sobbing.

"I'm sorry, husband, I don't know. I don't know any of this."

"It's okay, Hui'er. I feel guilty for not saving my mother. But I'm more afraid of losing you. I'm afraid that the emperor will use this as an excuse to confiscate the entire family of the Marquis."

The two of them snuggled together and talked tenderly, and the previous estrangement slowly melted away.

"What should we do, husband? If... they keep targeting the Marquis' Mansion, what should we do?"

After crying, Jiang Xinghui finally sorted out his thoughts.

In any case, she has been tied to the Marquis' Mansion. If the Marquis' Mansion prospers, she prospers; if the Marquis' Mansion perishes, she perishes too.

Lu Zhao's eyes flickered. "I don't know. Now, we can only take it one step at a time. But no matter what, the Marquis' Mansion must not be caught by him in any trouble, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xinghui nodded in agreement.

Seeing his wife's worried look, Lu Zhao couldn't bear it and started to comfort her.

"Hui'er, don't worry! My father and I will take care of this matter. Don't worry anymore. There will definitely be a way out."

Outside the door, a guard quietly moved away with an expressionless face.

......

Jiang Yueshu listened carefully to the news from the spy, seeming to be thinking about something.

The story Lu Zhao told sounded extremely reasonable, and it was hard to find any loopholes.

But what the wife of the Marquis couldn't be false, so he must be hiding something.

If it is true as he said, that he went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, why would Your Majesty allow Marquis Zhongyi to follow him? Does His Majesty want to capture both of them in one fell swoop?

But if the current emperor really wants to get rid of someone, when Marquis Zhongyi first went to the battlefield, he was a rookie with no obvious talent. How could he escape the pursuit of the ruler of a country so easily?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yueshu arranged several people to go deep into the border between Liang and Chu to gather information.

......

The study room of the Marquis of Loyalty’s Mansion.

"Zhao'er, these are the girls of the right age that your Aunt Hua carefully selected for you. Please think about them carefully."

Marquis Zhongyi pointed at the pile of scrolls in front of him and said to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao frowned and looked through them one by one.

He and Jiang Xinghui had just gotten married and had a very good relationship. If she knew about it, she wouldn't know if she would make a fuss.

"Don't even think about it. You have to choose this person for me! Because of your good wife, you have completely offended the Prime Minister's Mansion. You also know how we have been excluded in the court these days. So you must hurry up and find a woman from a wealthy family to marry and win over the forces behind their family. With your reputation, even if you already have a wife, I'm afraid they will be willing to marry in."

Lu Zhao nodded in agreement, "In that case, let Aunt Hua choose. They are all chess pieces anyway, so what difference does it make which one you choose?"

After saying this, Lu Zhao went straight out of the study and prepared to talk to Jiang Xinghui. Anyway, this matter would be revealed sooner or later.

When he arrived at their room, he saw Jiang Xinghui embroidering something seriously in the flickering candlelight.

When she heard the door creak, she hid subconsciously. When she saw who was coming, she immediately put down her needle and thread and ran over excitedly.

"Husband, you are here!"

"Yeah." Lu Zhao nodded.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, no, I'm just bored..." Jiang Xinghui dodged with an expression that couldn't hide his joy.

Lu Zhao had expected this, so he deliberately took a few steps forward and pointed at the embroidery frame and asked in confusion.

"Oh? What is this?"

Jiang Xinghui quickly blocked it with his hand, "Husband, it's nothing!"

"But I saw the word embroidered on it, it seems to be 'Zhao'?" Lu Zhao asked playfully.

"Oh, my husband, I just want to sew a coat for you myself!" Jiang Xinghui looked shy.

"Madam is so nice. She is really a good helper to your husband."

The two laughed and joked for a while before Lu Zhao spoke hesitantly.

Jiang Xinghui paused and looked at Lu Zhao with a pale face.

"What did your husband say?"

Lu Zhao just took Jiang Xinghui's hand and apologized over and over again.

"I'm sorry, Hui'er! I'm really sorry! I know you're upset, but don't worry, I won't touch any of them once they enter the mansion. You're my only wife! It's just that the mansion needs the power behind them!"

Lu Zhao made the promise seriously, speaking sincerely.

Jiang Xinghui looked helpless. After knowing Lu Zhao's experience, she felt very sorry for him, so she patiently cooperated and was gentle and considerate.

But he actually said he was going to marry someone else?

Since entering the mansion, Lu Zhao's kindness to her has made her fall deeply in love. She likes Lu Zhao, so she wants to have him all to herself and doesn't want any other woman to come between them.

But if not, can the Marquis' Mansion really defeat the Emperor?

Jiang Xinghui was conflicted and in pain, and she just hated God for making her face such a dilemma.

As uncomfortable as it was, both of them knew that no one would refuse this.

After Lu Zhao agreed, Aunt Hua and Marquis Zhongyi immediately rushed to contact the girl.

......

Recently, something new happened in the imperial city.

The legitimate daughters of the Xu and Li families encountered gangsters on their way to Lingshan Temple to burn incense. They were bumped into by Master Lu who was on duty and saved the two young ladies.

The two marriages were arranged in a natural way, which surprised the onlookers.

Although Jiang Xinghui seldom went out after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion, she had attended banquets held by aristocratic families after all. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable.

Naturally, they also witnessed Jiang Xinghui's "stunning appearance", which really shocked a group of people. She was still very beautiful not long ago, and she was just engaged to the prince, so why was she so happy to eat like this?

At the same time, because Jiang's father was worried about his daughter's marriage, he specifically asked his mother to let her attend more banquets.

Naturally, the two people formed a sharp contrast.

This Second Miss Jiang is actually the beautiful woman who appeared on the day when the Crown Prince’s wife got married!

Oh my god, the prince's hobby is so weird! !

It seems that Miss Jiang's previous experience was really the work of Mrs. Yun. As soon as she was gone, Miss Jiang regained her former beauty and her etiquette and manners were first-class. She no longer looked like the fool that was previously rumored.

However, some girls from aristocratic families focused their attention on the prince's wife. They believed that Jiang Xinghui was a very scheming person and that he had successfully squeezed out the second Miss Jiang's marriage by falling into the water, and used his own innocence to force the prince to marry him.

Killing two birds with one stone, she really has a good plan!

Because of these things, the matter of Yunxi's crimes, which had been slowly fading away, was brought up again by everyone and became gossip for everyone after dinner.

The legitimate daughters of the Xu and Li families, who had been observing quietly, also breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward to marrying into the Marquis's Mansion with great joy.

The prince's wife is just so-so, she has no looks, no figure, and she has a mother with a bad reputation. What right does she have to monopolize the prince!

The prince had to marry her for the sake of her reputation. Once they enter the mansion, they will definitely win the prince's favor!

After several rounds of negotiations, both of them were married into the Marquis's Mansion as co-wives.

This incident was enough to shock the court officials. These two families were quite powerful. If they were to get engaged to the Marquis's Mansion, they would probably form a clique for personal gain! They glanced at the emperor covertly, but the emperor said nothing and did not intervene.

Except for Jiang Xinghui, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was laughing and talking happily.

Father Jiang became wary of the situation. After all, the two families had a falling out over Jiang Xinghui's incident.

Now that the Marquis' Mansion is doing this, if we are not well prepared, we will probably be targeted by the other party.

Jiang Yueshu was also trying to figure out how to break the impasse. Now the Jiang Mansion was managed by her sister-in-law Liu Jingyan, and she had also found a reliable person to take over the shop under her name, so she had more time to think about it.

There has been no news from the personnel who were sent to the border between Liang and Chu last time, and there has been no progress on the side of the Marquis's wife.

In order to collect more intelligence, Jiang Yueshu opened a wide variety of shops, quietly accumulating more intelligence, and spent his free time reading miscellaneous notes and books.

That day, she was a little surprised when she read the description of the street performers in the book. The book said that some people were good at disguising themselves, and it was difficult to recognize them unless they were very familiar with them. There were also people who were good at ventriloquism and could imitate all kinds of voices, and imitating other people's speech was no problem at all.

When Jiang Yueshu thought of the marquis' wife who was trapped in the marquis's mansion, she had some ideas in her mind, but such a capable person was hard to find in the world.

While I was thinking about it, the teahouse owner knocked on the door.

"Miss, the young master of the Liu family is here again!"

Jiang Yueshu was slightly speechless and stunned for a moment, but still let the person in.

This Young Master Liu is her sister-in-law’s younger brother Liu Jingxing. It was he who saved her last time in Yun Mansion.

Although I didn't need his help at that time, he saved me out of kindness, so naturally I had to repay him with courtesy.

The day after the sinking that day, she sent a batch of gifts to Liu's residence. In name, it was to add to the dowry for her future sister-in-law, but in reality, she wanted to take this opportunity to thank the two of them.

Unexpectedly, the guy returned the gift directly, and my sister-in-law only said one sentence back, it was just a small thing, no need to thank me.

When Jiang Yueshu appeared at the banquet again, the two met by chance.

Before she could reveal her identity, Liu Jingxing's slightly dark face suddenly turned red. Jiang Yueshu only saw that there seemed to be a faint red in his breath, and the next second he ran away quickly.

Jiang Yueshu was speechless as she watched the other person fleeing.

To be honest, Liu Jingxing was not weak in physique, and this demeanor always gave her the feeling of a shy tiger.

Jiang Yueshu didn't take this matter to heart. She attended several banquets in a row and ran into Liu Jingxing who was secretly looking at her several times. When she was about to speak, he disappeared.

The next time she saw him was when she and her sister-in-law went shopping together, and they met Liu Jingxing on the way.

Liu Jingxing walked up to greet his sister, but his eyes couldn't help but look in Jiang Yueshu's direction frequently. He spoke with a red face.

"Sister, what a coincidence!"

Seeing that her brother's eyes were almost glued to Jiang Yueshu, Liu Jingyan smiled and moved her gaze back and forth between the two of them.

"Yeah, what a coincidence!"

Liu Jingyan found an excuse to go back home, leaving the two of them standing there alone.

Before leaving, she even pulled Jiang Yueshu aside and whispered, "Shushu, don't worry, my brother is a gentleman. If you don't like him, just leave and ignore him!"

Without waiting for Jiang Yueshu to speak, she pretended to go back in a hurry to find something.

After his sister left, Liu Jingxing spoke while suppressing his shyness.

"Second Miss, let's go. My sister said that you treated her very well after she married into the Xiangfu. I will take this opportunity to treat you to a meal!"

Jiang Yueshu thought that she still owed him a favor, so she did not refuse and prepared to treat him to a meal.

Seeing that the beauty agreed, Liu Jingxing happily turned around and led the way, with a distance between them that was neither far nor close.

Along the way, Liu Jingxing was very careful about his words and actions. He was nervous and his mind was blank, and he couldn't utter a few words.

He noticed the glances from passers-by from time to time, looked back at Jiang Yueshu, then stopped and spoke.

"Second Miss, I suddenly remembered that I have something to pick up. Can you just walk around in front? I'll be over in a moment."

Jiang Yueshu nodded.

"Then... my servants will follow you first. They have some kung fu skills and it will be safer to keep them by your side."

Afraid that Jiang Yueshu would refuse, he said a few more words.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Liu Jingxing hurriedly ran back. He remembered that there was a cloth shop not far away.

After a while, Jiang Yueshu heard the sound of conversation coming from behind.

She took a look and saw that it was Liu Jingxing.

He was wearing a veil and spoke with some embarrassment.

"Second Miss, I am a stranger after all. I am afraid that it will damage your reputation. If I cover it up like this, others will not know my identity."
