Chapter 105: People Frozen to Death

Without Third Master Jiang, the concubines in the backyard became more harmonious. They taught their daughters together, talked and chatted together, and put aside their previous prejudices. They could also help out when Jiang Ruohua was not around. The harmony was soothing.

After considering for a long time, Li Ge and Ying Ge decided to stay. They were born in a poor family and had nowhere to go. Moreover, Ying Ge was pregnant. The child was the blood of the Jiang family. The two of them considered that the Duke would definitely not want to give up his grandson, and they also hoped to have a relatively stable life.

Ying Ge stayed in the backyard with Aunt Yuan to take care of the pregnancy, while Li Ge chose to stay in the mansion and continue to serve Jiang Ruohua.

The first snow fell after December, and Aunt Yuan gave birth to a boy on such a snowy day. The arrival of this child added a joy to the Duke's Mansion. Everyone heard that Aunt Yuan and her child were safe, and they all smiled and went to congratulate one after another. The boy had a loud voice and was a strong child.

"Miss, do we need to store so much food?"

Looking at the records handed in by the grain store, Hua Chan's eyes widened. This is indeed much more than in previous years.

"It's not a problem." Jiang Ruohua said, "You can rest assured if you have more food. I always feel that the weather will get cold early this year. I'm afraid that the poor people will have a hard time. Prepare more and do some good things for the outside world."

"Miss, you are thoughtful. After the incident of the third room, the reputation of our Duke's Mansion is not as good as before. If we give porridge at this time, it will also be a good deed to accumulate blessings and virtues. The outside world will definitely change their views on us."

Jiang Ruohua smiled, and after reading the accounts in his hand, he gently moved his hands and feet, and then said: "How is Gan Yunsheng doing with what I asked him to do?"

"I got the news yesterday, but Miss Always busy, he came and left in a hurry. "Yin Qiu said, carrying a thick book in his hand, "In the past, he took over seven or eight out of ten of Yang's dowry shops. If the young lady is not in a hurry, he said it would be better to change the matter, and he would slowly squeeze out the remaining few, and then there would be no need to spend so much effort. "

Yang gave birth to a shameless good daughter, and suddenly fell from the praised mistress of the Duke's Mansion to a scum despised by the ladies' circle. The children's behavior is not simple, which is caused by the improper education of the mother. If a good child is brought up like this, no family would keep Yang.

Yang was divorced by the Duke's Mansion on the way to her husband's exile, but no one thought there was anything wrong. The Jiang family now has an eldest daughter who is a companion to the legitimate princess, and it is enough for her to take care of her younger brothers and sisters. As for someone like Yang, no family would allow such a wicked woman to stay in the mansion after such a scandal, so as not to teach other children bad things.

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Jiang Ruohua felt that it was okay. "After all, the revenue of Yang's shop is really unsatisfactory. In order to make her spend more than she earns, I have also put in a lot of money this month."

Mr. Jiang San is dead, but why should she let Yang, who is in the same nest with him, go? And Jiang Ruoting, who follows behind the two of them and keeps greedily trying to take over everything from her, she will not let these three people off easily!

Sending Jiang Ruoting to the palace and Yang being divorced was just the beginning, and then Mr. Jiang San died in humiliation on the road to exile, and then what she asked Gan Yunsheng to do this month.

Yang was divorced, and the Yang family also lost face. The married daughter was divorced, which would affect everyone in the Yang family, and even the marriages of the younger generations.

Yang couldn't go back to the Yang family, and could only live on her meager dowry. She knew that the Duke's Mansion was under her control, and she could no longer see her son. She also knew that her husband died on the way to exile. After a while of poverty, Yang thought of her daughter who was still in the palace, and she had the idea of ​​revenge and a comeback.

She thought that as long as her daughter could fight for a breath in the palace, they would still have a chance.

After thinking it through, Yang began to save money and inquire about the news in the palace. After finally getting in touch with Jiang Ruoting, she was shocked to learn about her daughter's situation. But she and her daughter had no way out. Jiang Ruoting sent a message hoping that Yang would send her some money to help her. Yang felt sorry for her daughter and hoped to help her daughter gain favor with money, so she kept sending the little money to the palace.

Little did they know that the whereabouts of the mother and daughter had always been under the Queen's nose. Jiang Ruohua, who often accompanied the Queen with Princess Shangyang, knew it clearly.

She ordered Gan Yunsheng to disrupt the business of Yang's dowry shop. She was not afraid of the cost, but she must make all the industries with revenue closed!

Yang was not a good businessman. Gan Yunsheng used a lot of money after receiving the order, and forced Yang into a desperate situation in less than a month!

Near the end of the year, the capital had several heavy snowfalls. Jiang Ruohua did not wait for the plague that should have broken out more than ten days ago in her dream. What she waited for was the trembling report of the snow-sweeping servants after the heavy snow blocked the road.

Wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak and holding a hand warmer in his hand, Jiang Ruohua brought his servants to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Being woken up at daybreak, Jiang Ruohua exhaled white air from her mouth: "Let's go report to the police first."

The snow sweeper was only halfway through the snow sweeping when he found a frozen female corpse from the snow in front of the door. The two half-grown male servants were so scared that they screamed in the quiet morning, which also attracted the attention of people nearby.

The people from the government came very quickly, and also brought the widow to inspect the body. The leader clasped his fists at Jiang Ruohua and said, "Miss Jiang, how are you? You sent someone to report to the government early in the morning. I wonder what happened to the government? Duke Guohua Are you okay?"

"Grandpa is still resting, Lord Lao is worried." Jiang Ruohua nodded and glanced aside, "It's like this, this morning, the servant responsible for sweeping away the snow in front of the door swept out a snow from the snow. People who are already frozen come."

The servants did not dare to move the body at will, so they waited for the officials to take over. Soon the officers and soldiers cleaned the snow off the body. The waiter hurriedly stepped forward to inspect it carefully before reporting: "Sir, she is a woman in her thirties. "It snowed heavily last night, so I must have fainted from the cold, been buried in the snow, and froze to death."

The man was completely frozen, and he still maintained an action similar to knocking on the door. The leading officer and soldier frowned slightly, and then asked: "Didn't you hear anything in the house last night?"

"It's been very cold these days, so I withdrew the guards who were on duty at night, and only asked them to guard near the courtyard of the masters in the mansion." Jiang Ruohua said regretfully, "I'm afraid there was no one at the gate last night, otherwise I would have heard knocking. The sound of the door is not...sigh."
