Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

"This girl is so exquisite. At first glance, she looks fair and neat, but when you look closely, she is an exquisite little beauty."

Jiang Jiu was pulled by Old Lady Zhou to sit next to her. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a young wife on his left, smiling warmly.

Old Madam Zhou smiled and said, "This is your sister-in-law, the daughter of Lord Wang, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. She has been spoiled since she was a child and is very lively. From now on, you can ask her for anything you need."

Zhou Xiang had three sons. The second son disguised himself as Huiyuan and died. The eldest son was the Minister of War. The third son, Zhou Shi'an, was bitten by a dog and was seriously ill in the yard.

The head of the household is Shen, the wife of Zhou Huaisheng, the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Zhou. They have been married for two years and their life is as sweet as honey.

Jiang Jiu stood up politely and bowed slightly: "Sister-in-law."

The Zhou family was full of talented people in the previous generation, but now they only have one granddaughter and a granddaughter, Zhou Yaqian, who is fourteen years old this year.

Old Mrs. Zhou, who always loved lively atmosphere, felt that her home was too lonely, so she took advantage of Chang Mingyue's illness to bring the two daughters of the Chang family to liven up the atmosphere.

The Zhou family's courtyard was large and imposing, and Jiang Jiu suddenly felt like he was watching Lin Daiyu enter the Grand View Garden.

After dinner, Old Lady Zhou asked her to go back to the yard to rest. Seeing that she only brought a maid and a servant, she gave one of her own maids to her.

When everyone left one after another, Jiang Jiu also left.

I don’t know if Mrs. Zhou said this on purpose for Jiang Jiu to hear, or what.

Just as Jiang Jiu left the inner room, he heard Old Mrs. Zhou sighing heavily and speaking sadly.

"You all have children and grandchildren, but the second child has only this one child left. You all must treat her well. If I find out that she does anything bad, I will not allow you to do what you want."

Shen said flatteringly: "Don't worry, Grandma, we will definitely make Miss Jiu well."

Indeed, the Zhou family treated Jiang Jiu very well. As soon as she moved in, they asked her to get several styles of cloth from the warehouse to make new clothes for Jiang Jiu.

We also lived in a warm room, which was heated with the best silver bone charcoal. There was no smoke at all, and the room was still warm.

Nichang’s kung fu is good, but she is not as good as the maid trained by Old Madam Zhou in serving people.

Jiang Jiu named the little maid Zilan and had her serve together with Nanny Qian.

Whether it was food, accommodation, clothing or jewelry, everything was of the standard for a lady from a noble family, and Jiang Jiu could not find any fault with it.

After staying there for a few days, it felt as warm as home, which even gave Nichang the illusion.

Is Jiang Jiu the daughter of the Chang family or the Zhou family?

After a long time, the purpose will eventually be exposed.

Unexpectedly, on the third day after Jiang Jiu arrived at the Zhou family, devastating news arrived.

Zhou Shi'an eventually died of his injuries.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Shian’s body, she cried bitterly.

He hit Zhou Xiang's arm hard.

"I have never wronged anyone in your Zhou family in my life, but what have you done to me? My sons have left me one by one. Oh my God, how can an old woman like me live like this?"

Zhou Shi'an was eventually killed by the beast he raised.

To prevent rabies from spreading to other people in the family.

Prime Minister Zhou ordered his men to burn Zhou Shi'an's body, his dog cage, and all the things he had used.

Funerals are not held in the first month of the year; if they must be held, they must be arranged in the second month.

In just ten days, Mrs. Zhou lost her two sons and fell seriously ill. She didn't feel better until the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

Everyone gathered together that day and chatted in Old Mrs. Zhou's room.

As they were talking, they turned to the marriage between Jiang Jiu and the two girls from the Chang family.

The three daughters of the previous generation of the Zhou family all married well, but there are not many girls in this generation.

Old Mrs. Zhou racked her brains to choose a husband for them.

"Alas, choosing a daughter-in-law is different from marrying off a daughter. Back then, when I was choosing sons-in-law for your two aunts, I searched through all the princes and nobles in the capital. Who knew your grandfather already had an idea in mind?"

"It's just that the princes weren't suitable candidates. Alas, man proposes, God disposes. Your eldest aunt married the crown prince, but your second aunt ended up becoming the queen."

Shen peeled an orange and handed it to Old Lady Zhou, saying flatteringly, "Doesn't this just prove that Grandfather has good judgment? No matter who becomes the Queen, she will always be a daughter of our Zhou family..."

Old Mrs. Zhou smiled proudly.

He looked carefully at the two girls from the Chang family and Jiang Jiu.

"What a pity, there are no princes of the right age now..."

What he meant was, otherwise, they would definitely be told that the three of them would be the princesses of the princes.

Indeed, the emperor has only one son, who is only twelve years old this year and much younger than them.

The Sixth Prince is too old, and the Ninth Prince and his companions are not optimistic about him, so there is no prince of the right age.

At this moment, Chang Tingting suddenly muttered, "Even if there is a suitable prince, he won't choose us. Who made our family have such a bad luck..."

Old Mrs. Zhou's eyebrows twitched, and her old eyes glanced at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu sat there, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, not at all curious about who Chang Tingting was talking about.

Chang Pingping was so angry that she pinched her sister: "Be careful with your words and actions, don't make grandma unhappy."

Chang Tingting was relentless, "That's right. Before she came to Beijing, our family was fine. Since she came, first my mother died, and now my uncle is dead too. It's true that wherever she goes, people die. What else can she do but bring disaster upon herself?"

"Oh right, Master Huiyuan said he was her father. He had just been recognized as her father, but he died. I guess he must have calculated that her fate was incompatible with his, so he only recognized her after his death."

The more he talked about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, and Shen also felt suspicious.

"Grandma, Uncle San's funeral can't be held for now, but we can go to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense and light a long-burning lamp."

Old Mrs. Zhou has been in poor health recently and looks listless. When she heard Shen's suggestion, she agreed with it deeply.

"Okay, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. There are too many people going to the Guanyin Temple. Why don't you go tomorrow? There won't be many people. Order three, one for your aunt, one for your third uncle, and then one for..."

Before Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Shen understood.

"Don't worry, grandma. I understand."

Speaking of going to the Guanyin Temple, sisters Chang Pingping and Chang Tingting also want to go.

The daughter of the Zhou family was lazy and unwilling to move.

The next day, it was Shen who went to worship Guanyin, along with the Chang sisters and Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu's original intention was to take Yuanyang out with him and let her tell Zhao Zhuoxi some news.

But she didn't expect that a storm was waiting for her in the Guanyin Temple.

There are always many people in the temple during the first month of the lunar year. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Guanyin Temple is packed with people.

Everyone places their hopes for the year on Guanyin.

Jiang Jiu felt that she was very busy.

On the way to the Guanyin Temple, Jiang Jiu suddenly felt familiar.

Yes, the day before she went to Beijing, she met Mrs. Chang for the first time in the Guanyin Temple. At that time, she brought the two girls from the Chang family and Jiang Mingyue with her.

He exposed Jiang Mingyue's identity and asked her to help investigate whether Mrs. Chang was the murderer.

As a result, after Jiang Mingyue found out, he decided to kill Mrs. Chang.

Although it was not Jiang Jiu who ordered it, Jiang Mingyue is still in the Sixth Prince's residence, and no one knows why the Sixth Prince has been holding her captive.

In his wild thoughts, Jiang Jiu suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Zhuoxi's face that captivated everyone again...
