Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 111 Ye You

Tianzhu looked at Jiang Quan with disdain and carefully helped Jiang Ruan onto the carriage. 

Of course, there were sharp-eyed people outside. When they saw the slap mark on Jiang Ruan's face, they thought of the rumour that Jiang Quan slapped Jiang Ruan without saying anything when he heard that Xia Yan had a miscarriage. 

They talked about it one after another: "Princess Hong'an is such a delicate person, but Minister Jiang really had the heart to do it. The red mark on her face is really heart-breaking."

Another said: "What do you know? Minister Jiang has always favoured the children born by that talented woman. When the first wife died, he sent Princess Hong'an to the farm. Which biological father can do this?"

There was a woman who spat: "Bah, what kind of talented woman are you talking about? She is clearly a slut. Who knows if the second young lady Jiang and the second young master Jiang are Minister Jiang's, or maybe the adulterer's."

Everyone suddenly realized and began to discuss with interest again. This time, they suspected the identities of Jiang Susu and Jiang Chao.

Luzhu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, and the discussions outside would be heard by them. Luzhu said: "These people are really good at guessing. If the second lady and the second young master hear it, they will be so angry that they can't go out."

Jiang Ruan smiled faintly. The only thing in this world that cannot be stopped is the mouths of the people. As long as they are guided a little, rumours will spread and it will be enough to kill a person's life. 

For example, in her previous life, wasn't she forced to the final end by these rumours step by step? In this new life, it's time to let the self-righteous Jiang Susu and the arrogant Jiang Chao taste this feeling. As for Jiang Quan, how much he loved Xia Yan at the beginning that is how much he hates her now.
...

Entering the palace and seeing the Queen Mother Yide, as expected, the Queen Mother Yide frowned when she saw Jiang Ruan's face and said, "Why is it like this?"

Aunt Yang on the side also looked at Jiang Ruan's face and thought of the rumours outside. Empress Dowager Yide was deep in the palace and didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside, so she didn't know about Xia Yan's situation.

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Nothing."

Empress Dowager Yide glanced at her and said to Tianzhu, "You say."

People who are used to giving orders all year round have a sense of oppression when they speak. 

Tianzhu knelt down and said, "To answer the Empress Dowager, the girl was beaten by the master. Because the lady had a miscarriage and falsely accused the girl, the master beat the girl in anger, and the Eighth Prince was also there at the time."

Jiang Ruan laughed in her heart, and Tianzhu dragged Ye Li into the water.

Empress Dowager Yide knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, and she was furious: "Are you rebelling? How dare you attack my people! Hong'an, what did the Eighth Prince do in your house?"

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe he came with Lord Xia Hou to talk to you about politics."

Empress Dowager Yide was not just a jealous woman in the harem. When she was young, she played tricks and supported the new emperor to ascend the throne. Naturally, she also heard something wrong in this statement. 

Thinking that the ambition of the Eighth Prince was becoming more and more obvious, Empress Dowager Yide frowned slightly. 

Looking at the palm print on Jiang Ruan's face, she was naturally furious and said immediately: "What is the Jiang Mansion? You have been living here for the past few days. I don't believe your father dares to be so bold!"
