On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 54 Bad Luck
When the Jiang family heard that Jiang Nian had returned with his men, and that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had also returned with him, they immediately rushed out to greet them.
Jiang Dechang and Old Madam Jiang had no time to prepare and hurried over to pay their respects.
Prince Jin walked in front with a gloomy face. When he saw Jiang Dechang and Old Madam Jiang, he didn't say a word. He just nodded lightly in response to their greetings.
The Jiang family couldn't guess what Prince Jin was thinking, so they didn't dare to say much. They glanced behind Prince Jin and only saw Jiang Nian, not Jiang Nian.
Not daring to delay, he quickly led his men to the main hall.
Walking behind Prince Jin, Old Lady Jiang couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sister Nian, where is your sister?"
"In the back, His Royal Highness Prince Jin has sent someone to take care of it."
Hearing this, Madam Jiang smiled and held Jiang Nian's hand. "Okay, you did a good job. When your sister enters Prince Jin's Mansion, Grandmother will not treat you unfairly."
Jiang Nian didn't say anything. Jiang Nian was indeed taken care of by someone specially sent by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and was also tied up. If he laughed, he would probably never laugh again in his life when he arrived at the main hall.
When the group entered the house, Madam Jiang quickly ordered someone to serve tea. With Prince Jin at the top, Madam Jiang and Jiang Dechang didn't dare sit down. Only Jiang Nian was allowed to sit. His Royal Highness Prince Jin very gently let her sit next to him.
No one in the Jiang family dared to say anything, as His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin looked unhappy.
Aunt Liu came in from behind and stood behind Jiang Nian. Old Madam Jiang gave her a glare and said she was rude.
Aunt Liu pretended not to see it. Such a thing happened at home, so why did she still care about it?
Jiang Dechang had never seen any princes or nobles since he came to Kyoto. Today, the prince came in person, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness Prince Jin, I wonder if you have anything to tell me by coming here today?"
King Jin did not answer, but directed his order towards the door: "Bring the people up!"
The people outside then dragged the two men up. Jiang Nian and Jiang Mingyuan were tied up. It was not because they were mistreating them, but because they were afraid that they would commit suicide.
Such a thing is shameful. It might be okay for Jiang Mingyuan, a man, but Jiang Nian, a girl, might not be able to bear it. If she dies, wouldn't it be a relief for her?
"Master Jiang, you have taught your daughter well!"
Prince Jin's tone was so gloomy that even Jiang Dechang could tell something was wrong. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me."
Glancing at his children who had been brought up, Jiang Dechang boldly asked, "Your Highness, please tell me clearly what my son and daughter have done to anger His Highness the Prince of Jin. I will definitely discipline them."
Prince Jin didn't want to talk anymore. He glanced around and pointed at Aunt Liu and said, "You go ahead and talk."
When Aunt Liu was named, her heart sank. She stepped forward resignedly and looked at Jiang Dechang and Old Madam Jiang, seeming to hesitate to speak.
Prince Jin was displeased and said coldly, "Still not telling me?"
Concubine Liu was determined to make it happen. She gritted her teeth and said, "The eldest master and the eldest lady...slept together last night."
Although the words were easy to understand, Jiang Dechang and Mrs. Jiang were completely confused. What? Who slept with whom?
Jiang Mingyuan, lying on the ground, bit his mouth until it bled and stared at Jiang Nian with a look of resentment.
Jiang Nian had already lost all hope. He had been making a fuss at first, but now he no longer had the energy to do so.
The person she was with last night was clearly His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, how could it be her eldest brother? When Jiang Nian thought about what the two of them did last night, she felt so sick that she wanted to vomit.
That’s her elder brother!
"What did you say?" Old Madam Jiang couldn't believe what she heard.
Aunt Liu exclaimed, "Old Madam, you still don't understand? The Second Young Lady and the First Young Master slept together last night. They did everything they had to do, but they're still...still...still in His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin's room."
Aunt Liu was a married woman, but it still sounded unlucky when she said such things.
Old Madam Jiang stood there in a daze for a long time, her eyes went dark, and she fell straight backwards.
Jiang Dechang was kneeling, but when he finally understood, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes bloodshot and almost bleeding.
The Jiang family's world has collapsed.
Prince Jin placed the medicine bottle on the table and said coldly, "This was found in Jiang Nian's room. The imperial physician said it's an aphrodisiac. Do you want to explain what you're going to do with it?"
Just now, when he was outside the mansion, his subordinates came to report that Jiang Nian had come to see him last night. It was clear enough that this thing was originally intended for him.
But he did not return to his room last night, so he escaped the disaster.
"No, no, that's not the case, Your Highness, Your Highness Prince Jin, didn't you say you loved me? Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Your Highness..."
It was because the man who promised to marry her tonight but had not taken any action yet that she came up with this idea.
Prince Jin snorted coldly, "Brains are a valuable asset. When did you lose them? When did I ever say I liked you? I don't even consider someone like you. I used to think you were quite pretty, but now... I wouldn't dare marry a woman as fickle as you!"
Jiang Nian's already pale face looked even uglier.
As if abandoned, she murmured, "Your Highness, didn't Your Highness write to me and say that he liked me?"
"How dare you! Are you trying to bite me?"
Although the King of Jin liked beautiful women, he was always ruthless towards those he didn't like.
"You Jiang family are really well-educated. You failed to plot against me, and now you want to drag me down with you. If it weren't for your sister, do you think you would still be alive?"
Jiang Nian's hair was disheveled, his eyes were swollen from crying, his clothes were dirty, and he was lying on the ground, looking miserable.
Finally, he turned to look at Jiang Nian, pointed at him, his eyes full of hatred: "You, it's you! It's you who hurt me, it's you who hurt me!"
Jiang Nian sighed and said slowly, "Sister, you said I harmed you, do you have any evidence? Did I give you the medicine? Did I instruct you to climb into bed? Since I went to the temple, I only accompanied Concubine Liu to chant sutras. I never left the courtyard at other times. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin's people can testify. Do you think that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin who harmed you?"
King Jin looked impatiently at Jiang Nian lying on the ground, then at Jiang Mingyuan: "And you, I've shown you favor in vain. You've done something like this. Don't come near me in the future. I find you unlucky."
"Your Highness..."
Prince Jin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to listen, it was a mess.
According to what Jiang Nian did, the two would definitely die, but King Jin wanted to gain a favor in front of Jiang Nian, so he did not punish them severely.
"Alright, for the sake of the young lady, I don't want to argue with you any further. However, the Jiang family is lax in family management and has raised children like this. Sir Jiang, how did you become an official?"
Jiang Dechang was so scared that his body began to tremble.
"It's a mess. Deal with it yourself. Remember to report the results to this king."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nian.
"Miss, could you please see me off?"
Jiang Nian quickly stood up and followed Prince Jin out of the main hall.
Arriving at the gate, Jiang Nian said, "Thank you for today, Your Highness. However, with something like this happening at home, my father is inevitably affected. So, please, Your Highness, dismiss my father from his post, so that he won't be criticized by his colleagues at the Ministry of Rites, which would be very uncomfortable."
The King of Jin nodded, thinking it made sense, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
After sending Prince Jin away, Jiang Nian returned to the main hall. Old Madam Jiang had already woken up, and the people in the house were hurriedly calling for a doctor.
Jiang Mingyuan and Jiang Nian were still lying on the ground with no one paying attention to them.
