Chapter 764 Two Idiots
Princess Jing is a strong person, but she has always been fair in her work. Especially since this matter involves Xie Jin, it cannot be taken lightly.
Xie Jin's influence in the court is now obvious to all. Even the Jing Palace cannot be too arrogant. Besides, Jing Wang and his son have never been arrogant.
After Xie Jin finished talking about this matter, he left. Princess Jing drank tea with Mrs. Xie, chatted about family matters, and returned home in the evening.
As soon as she returned to the palace, Princess Jing sent her personal nanny to find out the matter, and specifically instructed her to check it quietly and not let everyone know. The nanny went out to inquire about it, contacted the maid of some weight in the Ji family in a roundabout way, and used some means to ask for the details. The result was really as Xie Jin said, without the slightest exaggeration. When the maid heard that it was Princess Jing who wanted to know, she told him everything, which was even more detailed than what Xie Jin said.
"Master Ji's concubine is called Du Juan. She is a girl from an honest family. Her family was not very well off. She was sold to the Ji family as a maid. Because of her extraordinary beauty, she was taken into the master's room. Du Juan has a brother who is studying at home. Their life has not been particularly affluent. This time, the master promised her that if she helped this, he would give her parents 20 taels of silver so that her brother would not have to worry about studying anymore."
Princess Jing had a gloomy face and a cold expression, but she listened to her without saying a word.
"My cousin wants to marry Master Jiu Xie. Madam Ji had asked a matchmaker to go to the Xie family before, but before she could finish her words, Madam Xie sent her away, saying that Master Jiu had someone he liked." The nanny lowered her head and said, "Madam Xie may have wanted to protect her daughter's reputation at the time, so she didn't ask who the girl was who proposed to her, and then the matter was left unresolved."
Paused, "I didn't expect my cousin to have never given up, and she wishfully believed that there could be no true love between two men, so this time she wanted to use the eldest son's concubine Du Juan to frame Prince Yao. If she succeeds, Du Juan will commit suicide directly, and Prince Yao will die without any evidence, and he will have no way to defend himself. He will also have a rift with Master Jiu Xie, and then my cousin will have a chance."
Princess Jing was furious when she heard this, and then her back went cold.
Such despicable plots and conspiracies are not uncommon in the inner houses of wealthy families. Whether it is the wives of noble families or the princesses of the royal family, they are not unfamiliar with some intrigues in the inner houses. However, she never thought that Ji Wan'er would dare to set her sights on Xie Jinhe and Xuanyuan Yao.
Today, she failed to succeed. Xie Jin could still listen to Xuanyuan Yao's persuasion and leave the Ji family a way out. If the conspiracy succeeded and the dirty water was really thrown on Xuanyuan Yao, I dare not imagine what Xie Jin would do.
In addition to Xie Jin, Xuanyuan Yao is also the regent's confidant and beloved general. If such a thing really happened, would the regent sit idly by?
By then, the fate of the Ji family can be imagined.
These two idiots.
Princess Jing's face was as gloomy as ice, and she said coldly: "Does Madam Ji know about this?"
"Madam Ji instructed to send a matchmaker to propose marriage, but it is hard to say whether what happened this morning is related to Madam Ji." The nanny replied respectfully, "The maid knows some of the situation, because she serves the cousin, and the plan requires her to participate, so she knows more. I have ordered her to keep her mouth shut and not mention this matter in the Ji family."
Princess Jing hummed and said calmly: "If you have free time these two days, you can go out and find out, you can communicate with famous matchmakers in the market, and see if there are any men of marriageable age who have not yet married... Remember, if the father is an official in the court, the official rank cannot be higher than five If it is a noble family, try to find those who are not conspicuous. The man does not have to have a good temper. Ji Wan'er is already 18 years old and has limited conditions. She is not worthy of a very outstanding man. This princess does not intend to use power to pressure others. "
Mammy said: "Yes."
Princess Jing lowered her eyes and drank a sip of tea, "Also, by the way, ask which woman has a stronger temperament, preferably a bit more fierce. If the conditions are comparable, you can also tell me. Dong Li should also marry a wife to discipline him."
Mammy bowed her head: "Yes."
"But don't be too arrogant. You still have to have the most basic moral character and sense of right and wrong." Princess Jing frowned, "Otherwise it will affect the education of future generations."
"Yes."
This matter was settled.
But Ji Wan'er didn't know yet that her marriage was no longer up to her, and even her mother had no right to find a husband she liked for her.
