In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Chapter 73 73 It’s really a thief shouting to catch the thief

Jiang Ruan Xi had long thought of separating from Lin Ningkun. She had previously thought about killing Lin Ningkun and living a happy life by herself.

But now it seems that even if Lin Ningkun dies, she will probably end up being a widow for the rest of her life, imprisoned in Dingninghou Mansion.

If that was the case, she would rather not have it.

In this life, she can only leave Dingninghou Mansion alive.

And now, the person who exchanged fate has not been found. The Jiang family seems to be completely offended. They will definitely come to trouble him. Now is not the time to leave Dingninghou Mansion.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Jiang Ruanxi was thinking about how the Jiang family would deal with her next, but unexpectedly, a high-pitched voice sounded outside, and she didn't dare to delay and hurried out.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the private matter between the Crown Prince of Zhenguo Houfu and the Marquis of Dingning caused a stir in the city. I am deeply ashamed of it, and I should have revoked the title of Zhenguohoufu..."

Hearing this, the faces of the Lin family turned pale.

Especially after Mrs. Zhou heard this, she swayed a few times and almost fainted.

Lin Ningkun's face didn't look good either, and the veins on his forehead were faintly bulging.

"Only because the Marquis of Dingning donated the medicinal materials to the court and saved the people of Ming Dynasty from the fire and water, and the merits and demerits are equal, I will not abolish the title of the Marquis of Dingning for the time being, and reward the Marquis of Dingning with a thousand taels of gold, and the third-grade imperial concubine. , admire this!”

The father-in-law who declared the decree looked at Lin Ningkun with contempt and said, "Marquis Dingning, please accept the decree."

While Lin Ningkun breathed a sigh of relief, he was also dissatisfied that the imperial edict only rewarded Jiang Ruan Xi, but he did not dare to show it in front of his father-in-law.

He could only hold back his anger and said, "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

As soon as the father-in-law who announced the imperial decree walked away, Mrs. Zhou stood up and pointed at her nose and cursed.

"It's all your fault. Why did you go to the Jiang family and take His Royal Highness with you? If you hadn't gone, the affairs of the Marquis and Jiang Xuerou would not have been known. Now, everyone knows that the Lin family I almost can’t keep my title, you harmful person..."

"It's wrong for my mother to say this. What do you mean it's because of me that the Lin family's title can't be kept?"

Jiang Ruanxi would not let her talk nonsense here. It seemed that Zhou's head was still burning and he had not woken up.

"I took the Crown Prince to the Jiang family, but how could I know that the Marquis would be at the Jiang family? Moreover, if the Marquis did such a thing, my mother felt that if the Crown Prince hadn't bumped into him, wouldn't it have been made public? ?”

It's really ridiculous, I did such a disgusting thing, and I blame myself for revealing it.

It’s really a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"Or does mother think that Mr. Hou was not wrong at all for doing such a shameful thing?" Jiang Ruanxi asked her.

Zhou couldn't say a word when asked.

Naturally she felt it was inappropriate, but facing Jiang Ruan Xi, even if she knew she was wrong, she would never admit it.

"I advise mother to make one thing clear. The Holy Father's will has been made very clear. The Lin family's title was almost lost because the Marquis did something wrong. In the end, the title was saved because of me, Jiang Ruan Xi deserves credit for donating medicinal materials.

If my mother still has an opinion on this matter and insists on putting this shit basin on my head, I don't mind taking my mother to see the Holy One to ask for clarification. "

"you dare."

Zhou was so angry that Jiang Ruan Xi was simply threatening herself.

"Your Majesty has granted me the title of Third Grade Imperial Lady. Does mother think I am threatening you?"

Jiang was just a wife of the Marquis, and even Lin Ningkun's official position when he returned to Kyoto had not yet been decided, but no matter how powerful he was, a fourth-grade official was already in the sky.

To put it bluntly, even if he spends his whole life crawling around in officialdom, he probably won't be able to reach Jiang Ruan Xi's level.

In Kyoto, the so-called official level is overwhelming, and Jiang Ruan Xi is no longer a disgusting person who wants to tolerate this family. "you……"

Zhou wanted to reply, but she was interrupted by Lin Ningkun impatiently, "Okay, just stop talking."

Lin Ningkun closed his eyes in pain and opened them again.

"Mother, it's useless to talk about this matter. You should go back first."

Now that the Hou Mansion still relies on Jiang Ruan Xi, it is not the time to have a conflict with her.

Zhou had never been so embarrassed in her life. Although she was not happy in her heart, she knew that today was different from the past. She could only listen to Lin Ningkun's words and leave angrily.

He and Lin Feng didn't care about these things and left after receiving the order.

After everyone left, only Lin Ningkun and Jiang Ruanxi were left in the house.

"I'm sorry, mother was just too excited. She did this for our own good." Lin Ningkun said apologetically.

"Master Hou is wrong. Mother said this just because of your injustice and to vent her anger, not for my own good."

Lin Ningkun's breath froze. Was she going to completely draw a clear line with herself?

I don’t know why, but I feel as if I’m being grabbed by someone.

Jiang Ruanxi's eyebrows were as disgusting as if he had stepped on shit, and his brows were furrowed and he no longer pretended.

"Master Hou, have you forgotten the things you did? Do you think I can still face you like before?"

Lin Ningkun was stunned, not expecting Jiang Ruanxi to say that.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, he didn't marry Jiang Xuerou into the house, so he was considered a good man.

In the past, he would have been too lazy to explain to Jiang Ruan Xi, but now he wanted to save Jiang Ruan Xi, so he could only explain patiently.

"Jiang Ruanxi, I know you are angry with me now, but there is really nothing between me and Jiang Xuerou. You also heard it at the time. I was drunk that night, and I thought Brother Xiao was my child. , but in fact she lied to me."

Speaking of this, Lin Ningkun was very angry. He didn't expect that he would be deceived by Jiang Xuerou for so long.

"Master Hou, after Brother Xiao, do you really have nothing to do with Jiang Xuerou?"

"I"

Lin Ningkun couldn't speak any more.

Because the relationship between him and Jiang Xuerou is not really innocent.

But there are no children between them.

"For so many years, even though you have nothing to do with Jiang Xuerou physically, you are the real deal and really want Jiang Xuerou to replace me."

Lin Ningkun choked up, because what Jiang Ruan Xi said was true. At the beginning, he really wanted to wait until he was in a high position, and then let Jiang Xuerou replace her so that the family of three could be reunited.

"Jiang Ruanxi, I know I was wrong before, but those were all my thoughts before. Now I understand that Jiang Xuerou is a venomous woman just to play with me. I already regret it. I just want to live a good life now." He He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.

Did you have that idea before, but not now?

Does this mean that she treats this place as a garbage house? The garbage that others don’t want is thrown directly into her place?

"So the Marquis thinks that if you want someone else to take my place, you can take my place and you can turn back if you want to?" Jiang Ruanxi only felt extremely ironic, "In the heart of the Marquis, I am that kind of person. Someone who comes when called and goes away when called?"
