Chapter 42 Snake and Mouse

Xia Yan and Jiang Susu's expressions changed slightly at the same time, and the ladies had already quietly started to discuss: "What kind of mountain village girl, I think her demeanor seems to come out of the palace."

"That's right, looking at it's comparable to Miss Jiang Er, it's not as bad as it said."

"I look good, but I'm a little brighter than the second lady."

For the first time, the focus of everyone had never been on Jiang Susu alone. Jiang Ruan walked forward without looking sideways, her expression was not fluctuating, and she had a smile on her face, as if she was not the first time she came to Shen Mansion. Such calmness and calmness made those who originally wanted to watch the fun couldn't help but look at him with admiration. The woman with round face had already turned black, but on the contrary, the lady with high cheekbones nodded repeatedly.

Shen Mingzhen, who followed, was already angry. She glared at Jiang Ruan fiercely, then walked over and grabbed Jiang Susu's hand. Without looking at Jiang Ruan, she walked into the female mat.

Xia Yanzao smiled slightly, as if he didn't see it, and walked into the ceremonial room and sat down with Mrs. Chen. Although Jiang Li was arrogant, she also had good friends among the ladies. Perhaps in order to deliberately isolate Jiang Ruan, she even pulled Jiang Dan, who was not very concerned about on weekdays. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Ruan was left alone standing by the ceremonial room, not knowing how to sit down.

Although the ladies and ladies were surprised by Jiang Ruan's appearance and demeanor, all the guests present were familiar with Mrs. Chen, so they naturally had to maintain friendship with Jiang's mansion. The current wife of Jiang's mansion is Xia Yan, not Zhao Mei, and those who are familiar with it will not take the initiative to rescue Jiang Ruan. What's more, Jiang Ruan's appearance is too strong, and the lady is afraid of being stolen by sitting with her. For a moment, only one of the lonely people was left.

Lu Zhu and Lian Qiao stood behind Jiang Ruan, both a little depressed. Thinking that this time, they came to Chen Mansion to be a guest, it seemed like they were giving up a stern face, which made people feel embarrassed for no reason.

But at this moment, a crisp female voice came from the table: "Miss Jiang, sit here."

A cardamom girl stood up in the female family. The girl was wearing a blue and white cotton jacket with a dark complexion, but her face was very beautiful, with a hint of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes. This girl, Jiang Ruan, knew her in her last life, and was named Lin Zixiang, who is the eldest daughter of Lin Taishi. She was extremely righteous. In the last life, Lin Zixiang married the third prince as her concubine. Although Lin Taishi was not very powerful in the court, she played an important role. Lin Zixiang was not favored after marrying the third prince. After Lin Taishi was removed from her official position by the emperor, she lived a very poor life. The third prince had a human face and a beastly heart, and there were many concubines in the mansion. The child in Lin Zixiang's belly was killed by the third prince and a favored concubine. The third prince protected her favored concubine. Lin Zixiang could not bear the humiliation and died with the favored concubine.

In the last life, a woman in the palace treated this as a joke when she was idle. Jiang Ruan felt sad for Lin Zixiang. Such a strong woman ended up tragically and was even discussed after her death. It was really unfair. In the last life, Jiang Ruan also saw Lin Zixiang from afar in the noble palace. Lin Zixiang, who was dressed in a simple manner, caught Jiang Ruan's attention at a glance. They are a kind of person who married someone who did not want to marry and were imprisoned in a small cage for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Ruan smiled at Lin Zixiang, walked over and sat down beside her. Lin Zixiang nodded at her, and Jiang Ruan said softly: "Thank you."

"I just can't stand them like this." Lin Zixiang said: "The wealthy nobles always think so self-righteously, but they make things difficult for a little girl everywhere."

Such old-fashioned words, looking at Lin Zixiang's serious look, Jiang Ruan laughed and felt a little more favorable to her.

Jiang Ruan talked to Lin Zixiang, and Jiang Li secretly hated her. Shen Mingzhen and Jiang Susu said this, and frowned when they saw this scene: "What is that Jiang Ruan's ability? Lin Zixiang's eyes are always looking into the sky, why do they just talk to her!"

Jiang Susu smiled and said, "The big sister is always so likable."

"It's obviously a fox." Shen Mingzhen said angrily. In a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Li staring at Jiang Ruan, and thought for a while: "Sister Su'er, I see Jiang Li hate her too, so why should I help Jiang Li?"

Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you say this? Don't make any wrong ideas? The eldest sister just came back from the village. If something goes wrong, her reputation will definitely be damaged. How can she be a human being in the capital in the future?"

Shen Mingzhen also smiled: "Sister Su'er is the heart of a bodhisattva, but you also have to be the one who you have. Look, she wears this red dress today, just to steal your limelight. Knowing that you love Su's light but wears so brightly, I think it's a provocation. Sister Su'er, you can't tolerate everything."

"This..." Jiang Susu was a little hesitant, and her hesitant look fell into Shen Mingzhen's eyes and felt even more wronged. She said, "Sister Suer, don't be afraid, I'll stand up for you." After that, she waved to Jiang Li, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "Sister Jiang Li!"

Jiang Li turned her head in a little panic, stood up and walked to Shen Mingzhen. Among the big ladies in Beijing, the concubine and the legitimate daughter are actually divided into two circles. Although Jiang Li tried her best to please Shen Mingzhen, Shen Mingzhen only had a good relationship with Jiang Susu, and she could only be jealous. Now Shen Mingzhen took the initiative to greet him, and although she knew that she must have the intention, she still responded with a smile.

A trace of contempt flashed in Shen Mingzhen's eyes, but her smile was sweet, and she hooked her fingers: "Sister Jiang Li, I have something to say to you."

Jiang Li came over with her ear, and Shen Mingzhen muttered a few words in her ear. Jiang Li's expression was a little surprised at first, then she became hesitant. She hesitantly glanced at Jiang Susu sitting aside. Jiang Susu just lowered her head to drink tea, and still smiled like usual, which made people unable to see their emotions.

"Sister Jiang Li, have you done it?" Shen Mingzhen looked up at her, and her tone became more and more charming: "I did this for you."

Jiang Li was silent for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, thank you for your success with Sister Mingzhen."

Shen Mingzhen giggled, took Jiang Li's hand and sat down beside her: "Since that's the case, let's say something more."

Jiang Li paused, sat down beside her, the two of them got together, and then started talking in a low voice.

When doing all this, Jiang Susu sat upright on the side and drooped her head to drink tea. She seemed to have no idea what Shen Mingzhen and Jiang Li were doing. She only raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Ruan from afar when Jiang Li sat down, with a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

But when she raised her eyes, Jiang Ruan seemed to feel her gaze, and turned her head slightly, and looked at her with all her eyes. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly at her. The raised corners of her eyes clearly showed a smile, but it made Jiang Susu's spine chill for no reason. When she looked again, Jiang Ruan had turned her head and everything seemed to have never happened.

Because it was the first time to come to Chen Mansion, Jiang Ruan only said something to Lin Zixiang, and the ladies around him only looked at her from afar. Jiang Susu was quite popular, and there were many people who were intimate with her.
