Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 325 The Legal Wife in the Concubine's Story 6

He didn't dare let others know, nor did he dare reveal his true face. He went to the capital with a heart full of hatred.

No one knows how Yan Heng did it, but he was appreciated by the emperor and became the commander of the Dragon Guard Division. The first thing he did was to turn the prefect into a human pig and confiscate his property, not sparing any of the hundreds of people in his family.

The evil deeds that the prefect had done over the years were too numerous to list, and he had been protected by his superiors. Yan Heng uprooted them all. It was said that during those days, the executioners' knives in the capital were blunted, and the blood on the streets gathered into a river. Everyone who witnessed that scene had nightmares.

It is said that the officials who entered the Dragon Guards dungeon had no good flesh on their bodies. They were tortured to the point of being covered with bruises and their lives were worse than death.

Yan Heng's reputation for tyranny and cruelty spread throughout Shangjing, and the emperor was very satisfied with it.

He is the emperor's most effective weapon, and the emperor trusts him. He can be said to be second only to the emperor. Most of the royal family members and the playboys in the capital are also warned not to provoke Yan Heng, otherwise their families will be in danger.

The original owner heard all this from Jiang Huaiqing, and the reason why Jiang Huaiqing was willing to tell the original owner was because there was a jade pendant in the original owner's dowry.

There is a line of small characters on it, "Lian Handan". Lian is the surname of Yan Heng's mother, and Handan is the nickname of Yan Heng's mother.

This piece of jade was obtained by the original owner's mother. The original owner's mother once met Madam Yan. At that time, Madam Yan and Mr. Yan had just gotten married. Mr. Yan was just a small businessman. He went out to do business and let his wife stay at home.

However, they never expected that the city was hit by famine, and the people in the city had begun to resort to cannibalism. Madam Yan was a woman and had no food left, and the way others looked at her became more and more like a piece of delicious meat.

Madam Yan made up her mind and escaped from the city at night. She met the original owner's mother, Madam Zhai. Madam Yan begged her for food. Madam Zhai was soft-hearted and took her back. She took good care of her for some time and sent her back after the famine was over.

Madam Yan was so moved that she gave the jade pendant to Madam Zhai, saying that if she or the Yan family could ever be of use to her, she would definitely help them with all her strength.

Mrs. Zhai accepted it, but did not take it to heart. After all, it was not the first time she had done a good deed.

When Jiang Huaiqing saw the jade pendant, he knew Yan Heng's past and the names of his parents. After all, Yan Heng had asked the emperor for grace and justice for his parents, and the emperor posthumously conferred titles on Yan Heng's parents in order to win him over.

When Jiang Huaiqing saw the words on the jade pendant, he asked the original owner, "How did you get this?"

The original owner told her that this was a gift from someone her mother had helped. Jiang Huaiqing smiled and told her that the owner of the jade pendant was a very important person, and asked the original owner to keep it well, as it might help her in her career one day.

However, this jade pendant eventually ended up in the hands of Jiang Huaiqing. The original owner never used it. She lived a good life and did not need to take the risk of meeting the commander who was rumored to be very tyrannical.

After she died, Jiang Huaiqing took the jade pendant and made friends with Yan Heng, established a good relationship with him, and asked him to do a favor for him.

Jade pendant... Zhai Lingruo in the carriage lowered the curtain and supported her chin. It seemed necessary to return this thing to the commander and make friends with him at the same time. This kind of thing could not be allowed to get away with that bitch Jiang Huaiqing.

There were people outside who were whispering. They were obviously scared to death, but they couldn't help but talk about the Dragon Guards. "Have you heard about it? This was what my cousin's brother's great-aunt's second great-uncle's third uncle heard from a Dragon Guards guard."

"what?"

"I heard that their commander spent a fortune just to listen to a song from Miss Huayan in Lichun Garden."

"Ah? Isn't this King of Hell still unmarried and not interested in women? That delicate concubine can't just be killed..."

Others did not know that the favored concubine was the daughter of the previous dynasty and had been looking for an opportunity to kill the emperor. She had already collaborated with people from the previous dynasty at the palace banquet and was just waiting for the banquet to begin to assassinate the emperor. However, who knew that the group of villains had already been captured by the Dragon Guards.

The favored concubine saw that the situation was not right and bet that she had not been exposed yet, so she hugged the emperor tenderly and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid." Before the dagger in her sleeve could stab the emperor, Yan Heng had already pierced her heart with a sword.

The emperor held his forehead and said, "My dear, you are so cruel. You kill such a beauty. Where can I find such a beautiful woman?"

Yan Heng glanced at the emperor calmly and did not answer.

The emperor was choked by his attitude. He thought that if it weren't for Yan Heng, he would have been killed long ago. He no longer thought about the beauty of the previous dynasty.

He loved and hated Yan Heng. On the one hand, he was his best sword, but on the other hand, Yan Heng was always disrespectful to him. Sometimes the emperor was even a little afraid of him, thinking that Yan Heng was too cruel. But then he thought that those killed by Yan Heng deserved to die, so he put away the last bit of sympathy he had.

"Oh, you don't understand. No matter how cruel and ruthless the commander is, he is still a man after all. Miss Hua Yan is one of the four most beautiful girls in Lichun Garden. Even men are not immune to this."

Zhai Lingruo listened without much reaction. The noise gradually faded away and the carriage arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Zhai Lingruo just returned to the house when she heard the servant come to report, "Madam, the old lady wants you to come over for something important."

"understood."

"Madam." Cui Er walked forward, "Today, Madam Cui, who is by the old lady's side, brought back a three-year-old child."

Zhai Lingruo knew that the old lady was eager to have her great-grandson enter the house.

Cui Er chuckled, "Why do people bring all kinds of people into this mansion?"

After saying that, she helped Zhai Lingruo to stand up, followed her, and went to the old lady's courtyard together.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a thirteen-year-old child sitting on the old lady's lap. The old lady was teasing the child with a tiger-head doll.

"Ruo'er is here, please sit down." A trace of calculation flashed in the old lady's eyes. She had originally wanted to register her great-grandson's name as a distant relative under her own name.

But Huai Qing said that it would be better to register him under Zhai Lingruo's name and treat him as an "adopted son", which would sound better in the future.

Although the old lady felt that something was not right, her grandson Jiang Huaiqing was so confident that his wife would agree, so the old lady gave up her original idea.

"I came here today to discuss something with you."

After that, a nanny came forward and told the old lady's life story about Jiang Niantan, who was in her arms. She had no father or mother and was begging outside. She was picked up by the kind-hearted Nanny Cui and brought back to the mansion.

"I heard that this child's life story is really pitiful. He is really pitiful. He doesn't have much flesh on his body, but his eyes look like the old marquis. I like him. Why don't I register him in the name of the marquis and raise him well?"

Zhai Lingruo chuckled, "Sure."

Before the old lady had time to be happy, she heard Zhai Lingruo speak again.
