Rebirth and second marriage to the East Palace, the prince dotes on me every day

Chapter 53 Catastrophe
After the people left, Mrs. Zou slapped her legs and scolded angrily: "You are so confused! How did I teach you in the past? You have forgotten? You can't stand a few bad words, how can you be a princess!"

"Mother! I regret it so much. I should have killed Jiang Nan!" Jiang Yuan lowered her head, crying, "Who knew that Xie Lin could be so tolerant, so nasty! A wild species can be raised as a son! Why didn't he Killed Jiang Nan! He was still offering food and drink!"

"Others will never be able to count on you! The most urgent thing for you now is to find a way to stabilize the position of the princess! As long as you don't change people for a day, you will still be you! You can't get blood on your hands anymore, and you can't take a wrong step, Jiang Nan. Plant small ants, and someone will take care of them!"

After the words fell, Mrs. Zou squinted her eyes and looked outside.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like a finely woven net, and the water in the yard is accumulating more and more.

"When I came here, there was obviously a way to jump on. How come there is no way to go?" Li Shi stood under the eaves with his hair like a bird's nest, looking blankly as if he had been poured into a hole. In the courtyard of the pool, there is no place to step down, and it is difficult to move an inch.

When the wind blew, Mrs. Li shivered and woke up instantly.

"I'm clearly here to reconcile with my sister-in-law, why did I get into a fight with Jiang Yuan?" Shi Li snatched the umbrella from the maidservant's hand, and left with tears in her eyes.

After making such a fuss, I didn't care about the soaked shoes and socks.

Jiang Nan wanted to follow, but Lan Qing stopped her quietly.

"Ma'am, this way, don't need to wet your shoes!"

After Lan Qing finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the promenade under the eaves. Jiang Nan thought for a while, then raised her heels, walked around the small muddy garden, and walked to the side door where there was no one.

"Ma'am, go through this corridor, go to the front yard, and then go back to the backyard, you will be able to reach Nanchuan Pavilion!"

Jiang Nan looked down at the dirt on the soles of her shoes, and smiled lightly: "Just to keep the shoes from getting wet, the detours are not ordinary!"

"Before my wife got married, she often met here with me. I wonder if my wife still remembers?" Lan Qing lowered her eyes slightly and asked with a faint smile.

Jiang Nan shook her head: "I don't remember."

Maybe it's because some memories haven't been fully recovered, Jiang Nan is relatively new to Lan Qing, but after three years of marriage, all the maids in Zou's courtyard have been changed.

The mansion buys maids every year, and she doesn't live in Jiang's mansion often, so where does everyone know each other?
"Lan Qing remembers that it was the same heavy rain back then, when the hometown was flooded, and the whole family fled to the capital. At that time, the second wife was in charge of the house and gave porridge at the gate of the city."

Jiang Nan remained expressionless and did not respond.

Lan Qing looked at the pouring rain, and continued: "In order to survive, my father and brother sold me into the Jiang family and became the maid of the eldest lady. The eldest lady beat and scolded me. If the second wife hadn't rescued me many times , I don’t know where I was buried for a long time!”

The sound of the rainstorm covered up Lan Qing's already soft voice. Jiang Nan was so close that he needed to be very serious to hear it clearly.

The second wife that Lan Qing talked about was Jiang Nan's biological mother, Gu Shi, who had passed away.

"So you mean that my mother is kind to you?" Jiang Nan pointed out the key points directly, "You came to me today to tell me that you can be of use to me?"

"Three years ago, I belonged to Madam, and for these three years, I have been waiting for Madam to come back!" Lan Qing's eyes became firm, with some hatred, and she said in a lower voice, "Madam, if there is no Don't go out because the Zou family will treat you badly!"

The torrential rain continued for three days without end, and the city of the imperial capital was flooded by the overflowing river. The emperor was so disturbed that he could not sleep all night. He stood in the heavy rain and looked towards the south direction.

After the rain stopped, the sky was clear and the sky was unbelievably blue.

On the outskirts of the city, eight hundred li urgent reports were sent to the capital one after another.

Huizhou dam mouth embankment.

Licheng dam mouth embankment.

Yantangguan dam mouth block dike.

The water level of the rivers soared, and the canals were turbulent, and the water transportation was stagnant.

Guangdong, Guangxi, Liangjiang and other places were reduced to a vast ocean overnight. The floods destroyed countless houses, killed and injured countless people, displaced people, and caused grievances among the people.

There was even a spontaneous uprising among the people, and the local Shuidu supervisor was cut down.

A large number of refugees are rushing towards the imperial capital from all directions.

In the year of the catastrophe, above the court, the emperor Longyan was furious, the five ministries were scolded bloody, and the civil and military restrictions of the Manchu Dynasty were as cold as cicadas.

Only the Ministry of Households dared to speak loudly, shouting poorly again and again, because the national treasury really had no money, the Minister of the Household Department even took off his black hat and fell to the ground angrily.

The court hall was in chaos, and the imperial capital remained prosperous.

At night, Yuhua Lane.

The moonlight paved the road, and Jiang Nan and Cheng Lingyang strolled in the alley.

"All parties in the imperial court have put pressure on them, and there is a catastrophe, and the governor is also very embarrassed. The robbery of the prison is left alone. Ziying is dead, and it is the best result so far to pull her out to take the blame."

Hearing Cheng Lingyang's words, Jiang Nan felt touched. Officials protect each other, as always. After sighing, he asked aloud, "Where is Ye Chengru?"

"It's a false accusation, but after all, he is the captain of the Beiya Forbidden Army. He is under the personal jurisdiction of the emperor. He was born in Xuanwuhou's mansion. How could he be imprisoned and punished because of a maid's identification?"

Seeing Jiang Nan's gloomy eyes, Cheng Lingyang thought she was sad for her sister, so he comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate your sister's death to the end, and I will never let it go!"

"I can't move them, it's just a loss of reputation. This matter is over, and you don't have to do it because it's too offensive!" Jiang Nan has already provoked Jiang Yuan into an ugly face, exactly the same as three years ago.

Jiang Yuan hated her so much that she would not sit still, but three years ago, Jiang Yuan drove her horse and ran into her personally. I don't know how Jiang Yuan will fight back three years later?
Jiang Nan's heart was ready to move, and she even began to look forward to it.

Cheng Lingyang stopped abruptly, pulled Jiang Nan's arm lightly, made her look at him, and promised: "Don't be discouraged, I will stand by your side and help you no matter what! Those who offend are the wicked, and there are Why are you afraid?"

"Really? It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! If you know who you offended, do you still dare to say that?"

In the dark corner, there was a sudden playful laughter, and in the blink of an eye, black shadows appeared from all directions, surrounding the two of them.

"Who are you?" Cheng Lingyang protected Jiang Nan behind him, and put one hand on the handle of the knife.

"We're only catching that little beauty, if you're sensible, go away!"

"I am the general of the Jingzhao Mansion..."

As soon as Cheng Lingyang opened his lips, his opponent punched him, Cheng Lingyang dodged, and the two sides scuffled together, Cheng Lingyang's two fists were no match for four hands, and he was at a disadvantage.

Jiang Nan heard the powder scattered in the air behind her, and then she closed her eyes and was forcibly taken away.

When the bumps stopped, Jiang Nan felt that she was thrown somewhere.

"There is an explanation from above, you can't die too fast, you have to torture it!"

"Understood! The price will be set up later, and they will be sold one after another. Even if they are sold for three days, we don't need to do anything. We will definitely not survive!"

After the lewd conversation between a man and a woman, the sound of footsteps faded away, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The surroundings were pitch black, and she could barely tell where the firewood shed was in the backyard. There seemed to be intermittent music coming from outside, and her hands were tied behind her, unable to move.
