Blessed

Chapter 109

In a few days, the members of the Jiang family lost a lot of weight, and the meat that Yuzhu managed to raise a few days ago also disappeared, and her figure was a little thinner.Needless to say, Mrs. Mu has lost a lot of weight. If he hadn't carried it hard, he would have fallen ill a long time ago.

Two days later, the well-known case in the capital finally made progress. Someone recognized a small snake engraved on the inside of the handle of the dagger that stabbed the Liu family girl, because it was carved along the lines, so if you don't look carefully Can't find it at all.Many people are familiar with this little snake. A few days ago, there was a flower picker who defiled a girl's house. He was highly skilled in martial arts, and the place and method of committing the crime were different, but the girl who was defiled by him would be killed by her in the end. Marks with small snakes will be left behind.

In just three months, this flower-picking thief has committed eight crimes and killed 15 people, all of whom were innocent girls and the night guard maids around him.

When this news broke out, the people in Shangjing changed their tune and began to curse the flower picker, thinking that the fifth son of the Jiang family was innocent.Later, Wu Zuo found some flesh and flesh between the nails of the deceased Ms. Liu, who presumably was caught by Ms. Liu when the murderer committed the crime, but there were no wounds or scratches on Jiang Xun's body.

Now that there are no witnesses to witness Jiang Xun's murder, the dagger that killed him still has traces of the flower picker, and the flesh in the crevices of Miss Liu's nails has temporarily cleared Jiang Po's innocence. Dali Temple decided to let him go home first.It's just that the real murderer has not been caught so far, and Jiang Xun was seen appearing in the deceased's room again, and the suspicion cannot be completely cleared, so he can only stay at home and not leave Beijing.

Right now is the best result.

On the day Jiang Xun returned home, everyone in Jiang's mansion greeted him at the gate of the mansion. The old lady had known about this a few days ago, and the whole capital was talking about it, so they couldn't hide it.

The old lady was so happy that she was on the verge of tears, and she looked at her skinny grandson and waved to him, "Come on, come quickly, step over this brazier, there will be no more evil spirits haunting my grandson, and I will be able to be peaceful in the future." Ann."

Jiang Xun obediently stepped over the brazier burning with wormwood, and when he saw the familiar faces of his family, his heart also settled down, "Father, mother, grandparents, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Just come back, just come back."

The crowd surrounded Jiang Xun back to the main courtyard hall and talked to him a lot.Seeing that it was late, they went back to their rooms to rest. The people in the third room should also go back to Fuyun Courtyard. Jiang Xun stayed out for almost a year before seeing Yuzhu. Naturally, he missed her very much and refused to rest when he returned to the third room. , talked a lot with Yuzhu.

Yuzhu was worried about Jiang Xun, so she asked a few more questions, and learned that Jiang Xun was fine, and no one dared to bully him in prison, and the jailer provided him with delicious food and drink.

Jiang Xun also briefly told Yuzhu what happened at the inn that day. It was midnight that day, and everyone was asleep. He was a little excited because he returned home, and he was not sleepy. The sound seemed to be hitting something, he was a little worried, so he got up and put on his cloak to look.

I knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered, only a woman moaning in pain.After hesitating, he pushed open the door and saw the scene inside. Two maidservants were stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood.The girl next to the bed was wearing a tuxedo and was stabbed in the abdomen. The window behind her was open and trembling. The murderer might have just escaped.

Jiang Xun chased after him and saw that there was no shadow of the murderer outside the window lattice. He returned to the girl who was hit by the knife, and stretched out his hand to hold her abdomen to help. The girl just looked at him in pain, her eyes gradually lost.

Those guests from downstairs who were attracted by the impact just now came up to take a look, and just in time to see this scene, his body was covered with the blood of the dead, and the dead was wearing a middle coat, some of which were disheveled...

Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, a lot of evidence has been investigated and dealt with now, and when that person is caught, Fifth Brother will be able to completely remove the suspicion."

Seeing that Jiang Xun was not worried, but looked at herself with a smile on the contrary, Yuzhu said, "Fifth brother, I'm afraid you haven't had a good rest these days, go back to your room to rest earlier, and we will gather at dinner time in the evening."

After Jiang Xun left, Yuzhu leaned on the ivory embroidered multicolored chrysanthemum pillow on the imperial concubine's couch and was in a daze.This matter should be considered over, just waiting to find the real culprit, so Shen Xian should have found all of this, and the people from Jin Yiwei should also be catching the real culprit, will he come to propose marriage?

Inside the palace, Concubine Mu Gui was letting the maids trim their nails. Seeing Zhao Min striding in with a sullen face, she waved her hand to let the maids back down, and then said, "Prince, don't panic, it's okay if it doesn't work this time." Don't be afraid, we are thinking of other ways, but if it doesn't work, I'll just ask the Queen Mother to give her a marriage."

Zhao Min Yi said with a cold face, "Mother Concubine, I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen, and it's not an option to always blackmail her family like this. I really want to ask to marry her."

Concubine Mu Gui said, "That's all, if that's the case, I will ask the Queen Mother to marry me after a few days when the Queen Mother comes back to pay homage to the Buddha." Ever since she learned that her son was ordered by an expert, she believed in this matter and hoped Min Yi was able to marry Jiang Yuzhu back, and she had hired someone to do the affairs of the Mu family and Jiang Xun. Who would have thought that Jiang Yuzhu would not be forced to agree.

There is a secret guard Wei Hong next to her, who is very skilled. It was this secret guard who let Jiang Yuzhu fall into the water in the palace, and he was the one who asked for Jiang Xun's work.

Unfortunately, this matter still failed in the end.

However, the Queen Mother loved Zhao Minyi very much since she was a child, and Concubine Mu Gui did not want to disobey Emperor Ruiwu until the end.

What Concubine Mu Gui and Zhao Minyi didn't expect was that this matter turned out to be another result a few days later, which also made them furious.

A few days after Jiang Xun came back, Shen Xian really came to propose marriage. He came to visit Jiang Ansu wearing a third-rank official robe, and the two went to the study.

Yuzhu knew about the news of Shen Xian's arrival. When she learned that he and her father had gone to the study to discuss matters, she couldn't sit still in Xici's room. She pulled her embroidered shoes and walked around the room. Bai Shao didn't know why and asked, "Miss , what's the matter with you?"

Yuzhu tensed up, hearing Bai Shao's words, she just shook her head.

Let's talk about Jiang Ansu and Shen Xian coming to the study, Jiang Ansu asked the servant girl to bring tea in, and said with a smile to Shen Xian, "I have learned that Jin Yiwei contributed to Ah Xun's matter, and the Mu family's matter, I must thank Master Shen."

Shen Xian sat on the grand teacher's chair with a somewhat desolate expression, "These things are what I should do, but I came to the door today to ask Master Jiang for something else."

Jiang Ansu knew that the brothers and sisters of the Shen family had a good relationship with Yuzhu, but the Shen family was the Duke's mansion, and he never said he would beg the Jiang family.Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "Master Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The official robe Shen Xian wore today was tall and straight, majestic and handsome, he got up and lifted the robe and bowed to Jiang Ansu, "I came to propose marriage today, and I want to marry Jiaojiao."

What?Jiang Ansu was stunned, his face was surprised and dazed, "Shen, Master Shen's words..." He never thought that Shen Xian would like Jiaojiao, but his family Jiaojiao was beautiful, well-behaved and intelligent, and the two were childhood sweethearts since childhood. , It's normal to like it.

So what does Jiaojiao think of him?
Shen Xian stood up straight, "I came here today to ask Jiao Jiao to marry me, I hope Master Jiang will agree."

"This..." Jiang Ansu subconsciously reached out and knocked on the book case, "To be honest with Mrs. Shen, the first thing in my family's marriage is that she must agree. If she doesn't want to, neither I nor her mother will force her. Shen My lord came to propose marriage, I thought I would ask Jiaojiao for her opinion, can I reply to Master Shen?"

"Naturally it is possible."

When Shen Xian left, Jiang Ansu was stunned for a long time in the study. Xie Che and Jiao Jiao were also childhood sweethearts, but Jiao Jiao only had brotherly affection for A Che, and probably the same for Shen Xian.He really planned to let Jiaojiao decide on his own, and after staying in the study for a while, Jiang Ansu went back to his room to ask Mrs. Mu to tell her about the matter.

Mrs. Mu opened his mouth with surprise on his face.

Jiang Ansu said, "Go and ask Jiaojiao's opinion first, if she agrees with this marriage, that's fine, the Duke's Mansion is not easy to mess with, and even Concubine Mu Gui and the Third Prince would not dare to provoke the Duke's Mansion easily." Sometimes, it is definitely better to find a noble family for Jiaojiao than a small one, and a powerful family can better protect Jiaojiao.

Mrs. Mu was a little worried, "I'll ask Jiaojiao, but I'm a little worried about Ah Che."

Jiang Ansu sighed, "Let's ask Jiaojiao first."

When Yuzhu came to the Mu family and saw her expression, she knew that Shen Xian must have said about the marriage proposal, but her heart calmed down, and when the Mu family pulled her to sit down on the couch, "Jiao Jiao, Shen Shizi will come to the door tonight , he wants to marry you, what do you think?"

Yuzhu's drooping eyes trembled twice, and her eyelashes like small brushes also trembled slightly. She held Mrs. Mu's hand, and said after a while, "Mother, I agree."

"Jiaojiao, it's because of what happened recently that you..." Mu's heart ached.

Yuzhu shook her head, "Mother, it's not because of this, I, I can't say why, but I don't really reject it when I learn that he came to propose marriage, in fact, he wrote me a letter before Brother Wu came back, I think these days I made a decision after much deliberation."

Yuzhu agreed to the marriage, and when Mrs. Mu went back to her room and told Jiang Ansu, Jiang Ansu informed Xie Che the next day. Hearing this, Xie Che was stunned on the spot, his expression getting colder and colder. He endured for a long time before saying, "Master, I see."

Yuzhu was also worried about Xie Che, but in the past few days, Xie Che had never talked to her, and his attitude towards having dinner together on weekdays was normal, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuzhu had agreed to the marriage, so Jiang Ansu naturally told Shen Xian, and the next day, Shen Xian called the old lady of the Taifu's family to Jiang's house to say goodbye.
