Chapter 384 Wanted Criminal
Chapter 384 Wanted Criminal
The weather is fine and sunny today.
sunny.
Jiang Zijin was in a great mood.
While Prince Chen wasn't clinging to her, she decided to go and see the house left by her maternal grandmother.
She thought her grandmother had bought it casually, but she didn't expect that her grandmother had left a lot of valuable things inside.
My maternal grandmother was a very shrewd woman.
They managed to transfer so much wealth right under the mistress's nose, and it wasn't even discovered during the search of their home.
I wonder how many backup plans she has left for herself.
Pity.
If it weren't for caring too much about his maternal grandfather and wanting to avenge him, he wouldn't have been so impulsive as to want to kill his father.
My maternal grandmother will surely be able to enjoy her later years in peace.
She might even live a better life than any of the women in the Qi family.
It's all regret when I think about it.
It seems she doesn't even have a single relative who cares about her anymore.
Her beloved maternal grandparents were gone, her mother was gone, her father treated her as a pawn, her grandmother treated her as a cash cow, and she had a good-for-nothing younger brother who never cared about her as his older sister.
I felt restless as soon as I woke up this morning.
A little worried.
So I decided to come out and take a look anyway.
She even brought some valuable jewelry from her residence.
Prince Chen was never stingy with her; most of the treasures bestowed upon her by the palace ended up in her hands.
Of course, she would never bring those items with her.
Even if I bring it out, I can't spend the money.
She was wearing only ordinary jewelry, ordinary but valuable.
Many of these gifts were given by wealthy young men. They would casually have tea with them and then try to put hairpins in your hair or bracelets on your wrists.
She accepted it because it seemed good.
The road ahead is still long.
She didn't want to be held back by a lack of money.
In my previous life, everything went smoothly for me, and I never knew what it was like to lack money.
I have experienced too many hardships in this life.
Especially that trip I took in Jiangzhou, I still shudder when I think about it.
She then realized how difficult it was to live without money.
Even the servants in your household will give you the cold shoulder. If you pay them too little or not on time, they won't say anything, but they'll still try to cheat and do nothing.
But if the money is right.
Even defying the imperial edict, some people still dared to take the risk.
Just like that nun Juehui.
In many situations, she would never ask Prince Chen for money.
I never intended for Prince Chen to know.
So she used these jewelry pieces to exchange for money, and bought shops, restaurants, pawnshops, and gambling dens.
These shops can help her make money work for her.
Based on her memories from her previous life, she also found loyal servants. In addition to those given by the Prince of Chen, she was also cultivating her own power.
She believed that Prince Chen's love for her was genuine, but she didn't believe it would last.
Throughout history, monarchs have often been heartless.
Having suffered in silence at the hands of Prince Jing in her past life, she will not repeat the foolish mistake she made in this life.
What a coincidence.
When Prince Jing married Mu Qianxue, she happened to become Prince Chen's concubine.
Whether she and Prince Chen can last is unknown, but Prince Jing and Mu Qianxue certainly won't last.
In his previous life, Prince Jing married her for power and neglected Mu Qianxue. Who can say for sure that he won't marry someone else for power in this life?
It's still the same person.
Does having a second life change one's temperament?
Will not.
What is meant by being inseparable and deeply in love?
She knows him all too well that he's afraid of his wife.
It was all an act for others to see. When it came to pretense, all the princes combined couldn't match Prince Jing's skill.
It's time to give him some concubines and add some fun to their blissful life.
on the way back.
The constables were searching for people everywhere.
They disturbed Jiang Zijin's carriage.
When they tried to search her car, the servants stopped them, saying, "How dare you! This is the carriage of the Prince Chen's residence, and the Prince Chen's concubine is inside. Who can bear the consequences of offending Consort Lan?"
Upon hearing this, the constables immediately stopped.
He apologized repeatedly.
The current Prince Chen is at the height of his power, a far cry from what he used to be. Even the children playing on the street know not to offend him.
Moreover, this woman was Prince Chen's favorite concubine.
Jiang Zijin didn't argue with them, but asked out of curiosity, "Why are you making such a fuss? Who are you arresting?"
"Reporting to Consort Lan, we are apprehending Miss Jiang, who disobeyed the imperial decree and fled without permission."
"Who are you arresting?" Jiang Zijin thought she had misheard and asked again.
"She is Jiang Zijin, the third daughter of the concubine of Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Rites."
Jiang Zijin felt her head buzzing.
She gasped, pinched herself to calm down.
He asked, "What...what did Jiang Zijin do wrong?"
"Miss Jiang was originally granted by the Emperor to become a nun, but unexpectedly she colluded with villains and knocked out the nuns in the middle of the night to escape. The Emperor was furious and ordered a nationwide manhunt."
After the constable finished reporting and saw that there was no sound from inside the carriage, he was about to leave when he was stopped again. "Do you have a portrait? Bring one here so I can take a look."
The servant took it and handed it to her.
Looking at his own portrait in his hand.
The three large characters of "Catch Me If You Dare" caught her eye, so piercing that she dared not open her eyes.
the wanted!
Is fate playing a cruel joke on her?
She actually became a wanted criminal.
The portraits show her with hair and her without hair.
Jiang Zijin sneered inwardly, thinking how thoughtful he was.
She gritted her teeth and tore the portrait to shreds, wishing she could reduce it to ashes.
Damn!
She was actually outsmarted by a group of nuns, and that lowly slave too.
How dare they betray their master?
Those who betray her will not have a good ending.
She instructed her confidant, "Go to the Jiang residence and tell Vice Minister Jiang to hand over Xing'er's parents and younger brother to you. As for that old nun at the Three Saints Nunnery, she's useless now. Find an opportunity to get rid of her."
No wonder I felt like something was going to happen today.
Unexpectedly, it was about her saying goodbye to her past self.
However, she was still very fortunate.
Her true identity was never hidden from Prince Chen from the beginning. What Prince Chen cared about was her as a person, and besides, he knew she was wronged.
So there's really nothing to be afraid of.
It's just a pity that she won't be able to enter the palace as the daughter of a high-ranking official in the future.
But she remained Consort Lan of Prince Chen.
Prince Chen said she was like a magnolia blooming in winter, proud and pure.
Jiang Zijin forced herself to think positively.
But I'm still so angry.
I'm so angry my chest hurts.
dark.
Jiang Yunze was dismissed from his job and returned home.
He looked utterly disheveled; he had been impeached by the censor again.
They said he had failed to properly educate his daughter, and that she dared to defy the imperial decree.
He immediately announced that he was severing his father-daughter relationship, and with the help of Prince Chen's faction, he managed to keep his official position.
However, he was still fined his salary.
He couldn't swallow this breath.
But what can she do if she can't swallow it? After all, Jin'er is now the Prince Chen's favorite concubine.
Just when I was feeling distressed.
A heavy package was thrown in through the car window.
Upon closer inspection, it was all pure white silver.
Jiang Yunze was both surprised and delighted.
Just as he was about to speak, a man's voice came from outside the carriage, "Lord Jiang, this servant is here on the orders of Consort Lan to deliver silver to you. She said you were wronged because of her, and this is her way of showing respect to you. In addition to the silver, there is also an antique and calligraphy shop. I hope you will like it."
"Jin'er... no, Consort Lan is so kind." She held the heavy silver coins in her arms and clutched the shop's deed.
Jiang Yunze's mood improved considerably.
Another voice came from outside the carriage, "Lord Jiang, Consort Lan wants three more people from you..."
