Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 72 Prince Zhong's Revenge

Jiang Mansion, Ruifu Hall.

Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Muxue hugged each other and cried. Xie Qingli, who was sitting beside them, couldn't help crying too. She didn't try to stop them from crying, but let them cry for half an hour. Only after crying their heart out could they release the sadness that had been suppressed for more than ten years and completely untie the knot in their heart!

When the two of them stopped crying, Xie Qingli took out a handkerchief to wipe their tears and said jokingly, "Li'er once heard the storyteller say 'Women are made of water'. It's really true!"

Jiang Muxue patted Xie Qingli and scolded him, "You are such a disrespectful child!"

Old Madam Jiang, however, held Xie Qingli in her arms and said angrily, "Don't bully my precious granddaughter. Fortunately, Li doesn't follow you. Your silent nature is so frustrating!"

Jiang Muxue said aggrievedly: "Xue'er did something wrong back then and hurt your feelings. I felt especially guilty towards my father. Xue'er knows she has no face to face you!"

Madam Jiang was startled and asked in confusion, "You've been reluctant to come to my house for so many years, is it because of your promise to marry Xie Jingyuan?"

Jiang Muxue nodded, her beautiful eyes were red, like a pure and innocent little rabbit.

Old Madam Jiang nodded her head in anger, and said with dismay, "You, you're already a mother of two children, why haven't you made any progress? We thought you'd become estranged from the Jiang family after marrying Xie Jingyuan!"

"Back then, the Jiang family was framed. The only way out was for the Jiang family to agree to marry you to Xie Jingyuan. Otherwise, you would have no choice but to become a nun in a temple. What an injustice!"

Xie Qingli was shocked when she heard this and couldn't help but interrupt, "Grandma, who is plotting against the Jiang family? Is it the current emperor?"

Old Madam Jiang looked at Xie Qingli with approval, thinking that her granddaughter was really smart. She turned around and gave Jiang Muxue a cold look. The daughter she raised was so naive and stupid. Alas!

She said slowly, "There were two forces behind that incident, fanning the flames. It was originally just a private matter of the Jiang family, but in the end it caused a huge uproar in the court."

"Li girl guessed correctly. One of the parties involved is the emperor. Those who sit in that position are probably afraid of the Jiang family's power and want to destroy the Jiang family's limelight. It just so happened that the Jiang family encountered that incident, so he took advantage of it and gave them a push from behind!"

"The other party is Prince Zhong. He is not targeting the Jiang family, but to avenge Xue'er!"

"As for whether these two parties have joined forces, I guess they are unaware of each other!"

"With these two great Buddhas guarding the area, the Cai family, who originally proposed marriage to you, no longer want to wade into this muddy water. General Cai couldn't persuade his parents, so he had no choice but to retreat and leave in despair. Naturally, other families dared not propose marriage to you again. Therefore, your only way out is to marry Xie Jingyuan!"

Jiang Muxue asked doubtfully, "Prince Zhong and I have only met a few times at palace banquets. Why would he want to retaliate against me?"

Xie Qingli was also full of questions. His grandmother said that Prince Zhong only targeted A Niang and not the Jiang family, but the defeat of the Jiang family in the previous life was indeed caused by Prince Zhong's mansion. Why did he want to get involved?

Madam Jiang shook her head slightly. "This matter involves royal secrets, and it's just speculation, so I can't say more!"

Jiang Muxue and Xie Qingli both looked at Old Madam Jiang eagerly, their eyes full of pleading.

Madam Jiang felt somewhat helpless and spoke softly, "According to your father's investigation, Prince Zhong's preferred candidate for princess was Yao Shiqin, the second daughter of Grand Tutor Yao. At the time, Prince Zhong had already expressed his feelings to the Empress Dowager, and they were only waiting for Miss Yao to reach the age of marriage. However, this matter was kept secret, and only a few people knew about it."

"But Yao Er became the queen!" Jiang Muxue exclaimed.

Yao Shiqin is the mother of the late queen and the current crown prince Chu Yuncang. Xie Qingli opened his eyes wide in shock.

Madam Jiang ignored their surprise and said to Jiang Muxue, "I wonder if you still remember the Lantern Festival that year. You asked Miss Yao Er to come out, and you sneaked out to the street to enjoy the lanterns."

Jiang Muxue nodded. "Of course I remember. We had just been playing for a while when Third Brother saw us. He immediately sent me back. When I said goodbye to Yao Er, he promised me that he would go home immediately. What does this have to do with Prince Zhong?"

Madam Jiang sneered, "Of course there's a connection! Miss Yao didn't return home immediately, but continued to wander the streets with her maid. She happened to run into the Emperor, who was traveling incognito. The Emperor heroically rescued her, and that's how they became acquainted. After the Emperor returned to the palace, he quickly issued an edict to enthrone Miss Yao as Empress."

Xie Qingli couldn't help but ask, "What does it have to do with my mother if these two brothers fight over a woman?"

Madam Jiang said coldly, "Prince Zhong is naturally unwilling to see his beloved become his sister-in-law, but he cannot disobey the emperor's order. He can only vent his anger on Xue'er. He probably thinks that if Xue'er hadn't asked Miss Yao out, Miss Yao wouldn't have met the emperor by chance."

Xie Qingli whispered, "Li'er doesn't believe the Emperor doesn't know who his brother loves. He must have seen Queen Yao at the banquet. He knew it was the person his brother liked, but he still wanted to snatch her away. The imperial family is really crazy!"

Madam Jiang nodded and said with a smile, "From now on, Miss Li, be sure to keep your eyes open when looking for a husband. It's best to stay away from people from the royal family!"

Xie Qingli blushed and whispered, "Grandma, I don't plan to get married in this life. I want to stay with my mother forever!"

Madam Jiang embraced Xie Qingli and said lovingly, "Silly child, how can there be a woman in this world who doesn't get married? Unless you become a nun in a temple! Don't be afraid, when the time comes, your grandmother will definitely choose a husband for you!"

Jiang Muxue suddenly interrupted, "Mother, if you're not angry with me, why didn't father come back to attend my wedding?"

Madam Jiang frowned and said, "Of course your father wanted to come back, but Lin Yuan happened to attack, and he couldn't escape. He didn't get to see his beloved daughter wearing a phoenix crown and red robe with his own eyes. He was really regretful, so he was holding back a lot of anger. Lin Yuan was beaten terribly that time!"

Jiang Muxue was so shocked that she was speechless. It turned out that the truth was like this!

Thinking about Jiang Muxue's marriage, Madam Jiang suddenly asked in a deep voice: "I heard that Xie Jingyuan brought a few women into the mansion yesterday. What's going on?"

Jiang Muxue's eyes darkened, and she said coldly, "That woman claimed to be Xie Jingyuan's cousin, and also claimed that the twins were not Xie Jingyuan's. But looking at how affectionate they were, I'm afraid Xie Jingyuan has already betrayed his original oath!"

Old Madam Jiang slammed the table in anger and said angrily, "This Xie Jingyuan is really a piece of shit. Your father said back then that he was definitely not a good person! In that case, are you planning to divorce me?"

Jiang Muxue shook her head and frowned, "Xie Jingyuan brought that woman back because he wanted to be with her openly. How could I let them get away with it so easily? Besides, if we divorce, Yu'er and Li'er will have to stay in the Xie family. I'm worried!"

Madam Jiang nodded gently and said in a deep voice, "There is indeed no precedent in Dongling for divorces involving children. This matter requires further consideration!"

She changed the subject again: "How do you plan to deal with Xie Qingyao?"
