【327】 Yuan Niang schemes against Jia Hui! Jia Hui and Yuan Niang catch them in the act

But speaking of Qiao Lianfang here.

Arriving in the garden, Qiao Lianfang quickly gets rid of Wu Niang.

She wanders around alone, wanting to see Xu Lingyi.

It just so happens that a maid accidentally bumps into Qiao Lianfang, wetting Qiao Lianfang's clothes, so she follows the maid to the room to change clothes.

The maid asks Qiao Lianfang to wait in the room for a moment, while she goes to get clean clothes for Qiao Lianfang.

Little did she know that all this was in Yuan Niang's design; Yuan Niang's plan was to remove this biggest obstacle, Qiao Lianfang.

Qiao Lianfang is like a fish bone stuck in Yuan Niang's throat.

If she doesn't pull the other party out, she won't be able to close her eyes even in death; she must pave all the roads for Zhun Ge's future before she dies.

She knows Xu Lingyi's habits well.

So she asked Shiyi Niang and Er Niang to accompany her for a walk.

As long as they see Xu Lingyi and Qiao Lianfang disheveled and in the same room.

Then the successor can only be one of them.

However, she is scheming against Shiyi Niang and Er Niang, and she is also scheming against Jia Hui!

How could Jia Hui let her get her wish.

After admiring Xiang Yizhen for a while.

He quietly follows.

Shiyi Niang and Er Niang had just left.

When they were called back by Jia Hui to accompany Madam Luo, Xiang Yizhen, and the others to watch the opera.

Jia Hui says he wants to find Xu Lingyi to discuss matters.

He finds Yuan Niang.

"Mistress Xu, why don't you take me?"

Looking at this scheming woman, Jia Hui says with a smile.

Yuan Niang's heart panics.

In the end, she has no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.

Because time is urgent.

She has no choice but to give up on Shiyi Niang and Er Niang, knowing that with Jia Hui here.

The two women definitely cannot marry into the Xu family!

This makes her sigh in her heart, somewhat blaming Jia Hui.

Timing it just right.

Waiting for Xu Lingyi to return to the room and then appearing to break in on this scene.

To ruin Qiao Lianfang's reputation.

Reputation is more important than life to a woman; like a noble woman as arrogant as Qiao Lianfang, it is impossible for her to be a concubine for others; Yuan Niang wants to use the reputation that is more important than the other party's life to force her to be a concubine, so that she will never think about becoming the Marquis's wife again.

It must be said that this move is indeed ruthless.

Yuan Niang is also a ruthless character who came out of the boudoir, having learned to scheme against others everywhere under her mother's influence since she was young.

Except for Jia Hui stopping the two women Shiyi Niang.

And replacing them with himself to accompany Yuan Niang to catch them in the act.

Things go very smoothly.

Before long.

In the backyard room.

Xu Lingyi and Qiao Lianfang, disheveled, see Jia Hui and Yuan Niang in astonishment.

Yuan Niang says angrily to Qiao Lianfang: "Shameless! Look at your scandalous appearance."

"I didn't."

Qiao Lianfang denies it in a panic.

Calling it a misunderstanding repeatedly.

"Hmph, the Earl of Wushuang and I saw it with our own eyes; how could it be fake."

Yuan Niang drags Jia Hui into the water.

Jia Hui smiles slightly and nods casually.

Qiao Lianfang is immediately unable to argue; she doesn't even know she has been schemed against.

Xu Lingyi is very embarrassed and angry!

After all, he has been seen in his ugly state by Jia Hui, whom he admires and regards as a confidant.

Although this is a misunderstanding!

He has been wronged.

But saying too much at this time is a mistake.

Yuan Niang pretends to be indignant and aggrieved, and leaves quickly with a maid!

"I will go find the Old Madam to make the decision!"

Seeing that the play has been performed enough.

Jia Hui coughs, "It's getting late, Old Xu, this is your family matter, you handle it slowly, I will take my leave first, and come to my mansion another day to drink the wedding wine of Shiyi Niang and the others!"

Xu Lingyi: "..."

"Good!"

Forcing a smile, Xu Lingyi hurriedly agrees.

But not long after Jia Hui and the other left.

Xu Lingyi quickly realizes that he and Qiao Lianfang were schemed against by Yuan Niang this time!

He fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to achieve his fame, from the decline of the Xu family to its revitalization; when it comes to conspiracy and tricks, who can compare to a military strategist.

This makes him extremely disappointed in Yuan Niang: "Yuan Niang! You!"

He cannot help but feel disappointed in his heart.

Even if he doesn't seek to be inseparable with Yuan Niang, he didn't expect that he couldn't even achieve mutual respect.

However, if Jia Hui were to hear this.

He would only mock.

Because Xu Lingyi's backyard being turned "upside down" is actually something he should bear the main responsibility for.

Like Sheng Hong of the Sheng family.

In the end, it is still these men who are unreliable.

Xu Lingyi is a very upright and kind person, but he failed to balance his marriage and family, causing one conspiracy after another among the women in the backyard.

The "backyard fire" is due to two factors in Xu Lingyi himself.

Jia Hui thinks he is indecisive in handling matters; although he has unparalleled talent, he is soft-eared, timid, and indecisive when encountering things.

Not to mention anything else.

When Yuan Niang first married over, she wanted to open a mansion and live separately. Xu Lingyi agreed to her face, but when he got in front of the Old Madam, he immediately changed his mind; when Yuan Niang complained, he changed his mind again, saying he would tell the Old Madam in a few days.

Repeatedly, without a plan; later, after inheriting the title, he made Yuan Niang suffer even more.

Afraid of this and that; is there any Duke's brother-in-law who didn't die of old age? Oh, it turns out others are not afraid, only he is afraid; no wonder Yuan Niang didn't complain to him less about this matter.

It can be seen that he has always been cold and strict with his wife and concubines, but it is very difficult to achieve balance, which is why the situation of people constantly scheming and people constantly being wronged appeared.

Then there is the sense of responsibility to the family being too light.

There are too many examples.

Finally, there is another big shortcoming: his personality is too dull, and he is unwilling to communicate with his wife.

The reason Yuan Niang was anxious and uneasy when she was alive was that Xu Lingyi didn't tell Yuan Niang anything, acting on his own.

Jia Hui is different.
