The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 135: The Achilles' Heel

The next day, before dawn, the Jiang family's carriage stopped in front of the He family's door.

Mr. Jiang was waiting in the car with his wife and daughter.

The weather was cold, and even though she was wearing warm clothes and holding a hot water bottle in her arms, Jiang Meimei was still shivering from the cold.

"Dad, how long will it take until dawn?"

"Just wait!"

"Why did you come so early? It would be better to come in the morning." Jiang Meimei yawned: "I haven't even woken up yet."

"You are such a carefree girl, you even want to sleep." Madam Jiang whispered, "The Wei family may have already arranged spies outside our Jiang family. If we don't set out at night, it may be difficult for us to leave the city."

After all, it would be easy for the Wei family to do anything to the Jiang family in this county.

In fact, what Mrs. Jiang said was right.

At this time, Master Wei was arranging his servants to keep an eye on the Jiang family.

When Jiang Meimei heard her mother say this, her face turned pale for a moment.

If she were really controlled by the Wei family, she would have no way to go to heaven or to hell.

Soon, the sky gradually brightened.

As soon as Shang Ruoyi walked out of the room, Yingxue came to meet her.

"Miss, the Jiang family's carriage has been parked at the door for almost two hours."

Shang Ruoyi thought for a moment and said softly, "Grandmother and mother haven't gotten up yet, let them go to the side hall!"

"Yes."

Shang Ruoyi tidied up briefly and went to the side hall.

At this time, the Jiang family had already arrived.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "It's so cold, drink some ginger tea!"

Jiang Meimei took the ginger tea and quickly took a sip.

After drinking the hot ginger tea, the three of them finally felt much better.

"I dare not disturb you so late at night. I feel so sorry to come to your house now, but we are really desperate and have no other choice. Please save our Jiang family and my daughter, Madam Shang."

Shang Ruoyi understood in her heart that the Wei family must have lost face in front of others and now refused to cancel the engagement and insisted on having Jiang Meimei marry into the family. If the Jiang family refused, the Wei family would definitely not give up.

If what happened the day before had not happened, Jiang Meimei would most likely have an unhappy marriage and be neglected by her husband. However, due to the Jiang family, they would not do anything too extreme. However, Jiang Meimei caused Wei Yan to be singled out in front of so many people for loving a prostitute, and the Wei family lost all face. Now, who knows what kind of torture he would have to endure if he married Jiang Meimei.

It was because of this that the Jiang family came to find me.

"What does Master Jiang want me to do for you?" She smiled and said, "I'm new here and don't have any roots in this county. I'm afraid I may not be able to help you."

"No, no, no, you can definitely help." Master Jiang looked around and said in a low voice, "Only the Crown Prince's Consort can help my daughter with this matter."

Shang Ruoyi paused while drinking tea. The Jiang family had indeed come up with this idea.

She put the teacup down. Although the sound of the teacup hitting the ground was light, it still frightened Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

Although the woman in front of them was not very old, she came from a prominent family and married into the Dingguo Palace. If the Dingguo Palace had not exiled them here, how could they have the honor of meeting such a person?

Not to mention sitting in one place.

"Master Jiang, I am no longer the Crown Prince's Consort. I am exiled from the Ding Kingdom Palace. If you continue to call me like this, I am afraid you will be accused of disrespecting the Emperor's will and treason."

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were shocked when they heard this.

Mr. Jiang's neck shrank.

"me."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Master Jiang, don't worry. What you said will not spread out here. You just need to be careful with your words and actions in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes." He wiped the sweat from his head, sat on the chair, his legs trembling.

Jiang Meimei sat at the very end, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare let them fall.

"Is Mr. Jiang here today regarding the Wei family's affairs?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang hurriedly said, "That's right, Madam Shang is truly a master of foresight!"

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your compliment. Since you are here, please speak frankly. Miss Jiang and I are also acquainted with each other." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely not refuse."

Hearing her say this, Master Jiang stood up and bowed: "I am already very grateful to hear Madam Shang's words."

Mrs. Jiang sat aside, wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and whispered, "The Wei family forced our Jiang family to marry off their daughter. Their son is such a scoundrel. If we marry him, won't we just suffer?"

Jiang Meimei finally shed tears when she heard this.

Shang Ruoyi pondered for a moment: "Then why did Mr. Jiang come to see me?"

"I want you to come forward and resolve this marriage."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Master Jiang, I am just the owner of a milk tea shop in the county town. How can I influence the Wei family? You really think too highly of me."

When Mr. Jiang heard her say this, he paused for a moment.

Yes, now that the Dingguo Palace no longer exists, he rashly came to visit without knowing the situation of the He family. This behavior is really inappropriate.

He felt a little depressed. Could it be that their Jiang family could only allow themselves to be manipulated by the Wei family?

Just when they were feeling discouraged, Shang Ruoyi said calmly: "But there is still a way out."

what?

Jiang Meimei suddenly raised her head and looked at Shang Ruoyi without blinking.

"any solution?"

Shang Ruoyi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I heard that someone in the Wei family passed the imperial examination a long time ago, but that was all he did. Now they all hope that Wei Yan can continue the glory of his ancestors, but Wei Yan doesn't seem to be as motivated as they thought."

Master Jiang nodded and said, "I never thought that I would be wrong. Wei Yan is a hopeless case. He spends all day in brothels. He is immoral and a disgrace to society."

"The thing that the Wei family is most worried about is that Wei Yan cannot enter the government." Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "Tian Shun has strict requirements for the official selection system. I heard my father say before that people with corrupt morals are absolutely not allowed to serve as officials in the court." This is indeed what Shang Nian said, so Shang Ruoyi sneered. If people with corrupt morals cannot serve as officials in the court, then how did they enter the officialdom? And they were appointed as prime ministers.

When Mr. Jiang heard her say this, his eyes lit up.

"May I ask who is Madam Shang's father..."

"Shangnian."

Shangnian? Shang, Shang Xiangye?

"Master Jiang, don't be surprised. It's all in the past." Shang Ruoyi smiled faintly: "If Wei Yan's behavior were to be spread out, the prestige of the Wei family in the officialdom would probably end with this generation."

Mr. Jiang was shocked. She was worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She had grasped the weak spot of the Wei family so easily.
