Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 106 Funeral (Part [-])
After Princess Kangren went to bed and lay down, Jiang Changning came out and told the maidservant, "It's good to serve the princess, please be more persuasive, don't leave the princess alone, you understand?"

"Yes, princess." The servant girl replied.

Jiang Changning gathered the cloak on his body, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, sighed, left the Fanzhi Courtyard, and got into the sedan chair, "Go back to Rujing Courtyard."

Leaning on the back of the chair, Jiang Changning raised his hand and rubbed his forehead to wake himself up a little.

At this hour, it was long past her bedtime.

Covering his mouth and yawning, he has to get up early tomorrow.

Back at Rujin Courtyard, King Jin was still awake.

He sat upright on the kang and read military books, unlike Jiang Changning who always leaned lazily on the pillow.

"I told you to come back to sleep early. If you don't sleep, what are you reading here?" Jiang Changning walked over, took the book out of his hand, and put it on the kang table.

"You're back." Jin Wang smiled, "Wait for you, I can't sleep without you by my side."

"Then I'll go wash up first and wait for me." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

This night, the couple did not have Dun Lun, they hugged each other and slept.

The next morning, Jiang Changning got up and went to the front yard to see the construction of the coffin.

In order to show themselves in front of the new mistress, the subordinates are working hard, and everything is in order.

Jiang Changning was very satisfied, and the people who arranged to report the funeral came back one after another.

This is an opportunity to find out the relationship between Qiao's and those houses, Jiang Changning asked one by one.

Jiang Changning's eyelids twitched when he heard about Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, remembering what happened to Mrs. Zhongqin last night, as well as the questions she blurted out just like her.

Jiang Changning smiled, Qiao's idea was the same as hers.

It's just that she knew that Mrs. Qiao would not be able to swim, so she designed this plan.

When Qiao designed it, did he know that she could swim?
Of course, these are not important anymore. Mrs. Qiao is dead, and there is more to be done.

Jiang Changning visited the mourning hall, arranged for those who would accompany Princess Kangren in mourning, and then went to Liuxuan Courtyard to pay his respects to the concubine.

On the way, I met Mrs. Pu, Chen Yi, and Mrs. Liu who came to pay her respects, "I have met the princess myself, please greet her."

"In the past few days, you don't have to come over to say hello, it's better to stay in the yard." Jiang Changning said.

"Yes, princess." The three replied.

Jiang Changning waved them away, then sat in the sedan chair and continued to the Liuxuan Garden.

The three concubines did not go back to the courtyard individually, but went to Pu's courtyard together. The two concubines, and the ten beauties of Annan, they looked down upon.

"The sky in the mansion has changed." Mrs. Pu started.

"This day will change sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to change so quickly." Chen Yi said.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the two wives, and asked, "Will the death of the concubine and the master be the work of the concubine?"

The room was silent for a long time, and Chen Yi said, "Is this important?"

"It's important. If the concubine did it, it means that she is ruthless. We have to be careful not to fall into her hands." Liu said earnestly.

Mrs. Pu snorted coldly, "She didn't do it, don't you dare to carelessly serve her? Don't forget how Mrs. Zhou was sent to Zhuangzi."

Liu's face showed embarrassment, and she pursed her lips in silence.

Mrs. Pu said again: "Our princess is beautiful, delicate and soft, she looks easy to get along with, but in reality she is not a soft-hearted person."

Chen Yi nodded in agreement, and Liu stood up and said, "Let's go, there's nothing to discuss, anyway, I'm just obedient and humble, so that I can serve the prince and concubine."

After saying that, she lifted the curtain and went out the door, and told the maid to leave.

"Sister Pu, then I'll go back to the yard first." Chen Yi stood up and slightly bent her knees.

"I'll take you out." Park said with a smile.

On the other side, Jiang Changning, who had greeted the concubine, returned to the front yard again.

After a meeting, King Jin, who had arranged the affairs of the Yamen, came back.

Jiang Changning hurriedly asked him, "How many days did Qin Tianjian's Yin Yang Division choose?"

If Princess Baling hadn't died of illness during the New Year's Eve, she would usually have 49 days on the Seventh Seventh.

After the night is out, the year is over, but Qiao's abnormal death of old age, she also pays attention to the setting of the funeral day.

"On the fifth day, the elder sister-in-law drowned, and the mother and mother-in-law above are still alive, so they are unfilial."

Qiao's family was far away, and they would not be able to make it even if the spirit was set on the 49th, but Jiang Changning still arranged for a messenger to report.

Jiang Changning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he worked hard for five days, it would be great, "Put the plain clothes in the side room, you can change them."

"I'll change it, don't work too hard, let the servants do something." King Jin urged.

"Understood, don't worry about me."

The sound of monks chanting sutras came from outside. The monks who came to recite the Great Compassion Repentance were saving the souls of the dead.

He also invited Taoists from Quanzhen to clear up the injustice and cleanse the karma.

People came to express their condolences one after another, and Jiang Changning also met Mrs. Zhongqin.

Jiang Changning treated Mrs. Zhongqin the same way he treated the wives of other mansions, but Mrs. Zhongqin was guilty and did not dare to look at Jiang Changning.

Every time the eyes of the two meet, Mrs. Zhongqin will quickly avoid it.

In this way, Jiang Changning became more and more sure that Mrs. Zhongqin was the person Qiao arranged to lure her into the bait.

Qiao Shi was afraid that she would not go to Qingshui Bridge, so she specially arranged someone to ensure that she would go to Qingshui Bridge.

It's a pity that the Qingshui River did not become the burial place for her, Jiang Changning, but it became the river for Mrs. Qiao's drowning.

At noon, Princess Kangren's servant girl hurried over to report: "Princess, the princess refuses to come to eat."

Jiang Changning stood up and said, "My lord, I'll go and have a look."

King Jin hummed lightly, and when Jiang Changning walked away, he frowned and said, "I'm not sensible."

Jiang Changning was exhausted all morning, and finally he was able to eat lunch. Princess Kangren lost his temper at this time, making Jiang Changning unable to eat and rest, which displeased King Jin who loved his wife.

King Jin followed and saw Jiang Changning walking in front of Princess Kang Ren, calling out, "Kang Ren."

"Auntie." Princess Kang Ren's face was haggard, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and her voice was hoarse.

"If you starve yourself to death without food, will your mother and concubine survive?" Jiang Changning asked.

Princess Kangren lowered her head and wept, "Auntie, I, I can't eat."

"If you can't eat, you have to eat. If you don't eat, your body can't support you. You fell down. There is no filial daughter kneeling in front of your mother and concubine's spirit. Do you think it's good?"

"Auntie." Princess Kangren looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Jiang Changning knelt down and wiped away tears for her with a handkerchief, "Kang Ren, children are the continuation of their parents' lives. Only when you live well will your father, queen, mother and concubine feel relieved. With you thinking about them, in your heart, They live forever, understand?"

"Understood." Princess Kangren said with tears.

Jiang Changning took her hand, "Understood, let's go have dinner with my aunt."

Looking at King Jin standing at the door, Jiang Changning said, "Kang Ren, your uncle is also very worried about you."

"Uncle." Princess Kangren called out.

"Don't be too sad, I will follow your aunt from now on." King Jin decided who would raise Princess Kangren.

Princess Kangren nodded, she was more willing to follow the gentle aunt than the strict grandmother.

Jiang Changning's eyes moved slightly, and he did not deny King Jin's words on the spot.

Qiao died because of her. She was not willing to have too deep a relationship with Princess Kangren, so she had to find a way to get rid of the matter of raising Princess Kangren.
