Everyone says the General's Mansion is bustling with descendants yet plagued by endless misfortune, and yet they picked up a "money-loser" and treat her like a treasure.
Just as t...
Chapter 141 She Really Hates It to the Bone
"Why did you arrest my grandfather?" Li Suining wiped away her tears vigorously and looked at the man next to her fiercely.
Chen Shaoyou narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled. This girl called Jiang Heci "grandfather"? She was Jiang Yinyue's daughter? But... he clearly remembered that the child retrieved from the Prime Minister's Mansion was a boy. What was going on?
"Hurry up and let them let go!" Little Dumpling couldn't help but push the officers and soldiers who were escorting Jiang Heci.
The two officers looked at each other. They didn't dare to resist such a young child and looked at Chen Shaoyou helplessly.
Chen Shaoyou withdrew his thoughts and said coldly, "Your grandfather colluded with the Northern Barbarians and met with them here in private, plotting something evil. We cannot let him go."
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Suining shouted, "My grandfather came here to make an appointment with me."
Chen Shaoyou frowned.
The little dumpling continued confidently, "It was a letter from the servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion to my grandfather. You can go and check it out."
Since the big bad guy used her to make an appointment with my grandfather, he would definitely be able to find the servant at that time.
"The servant's words are not to be trusted." Chen Shaoyou said in a deep voice, "We have caught him red-handed today. We must not let him go easily..."
He glanced at Jiang Heci and said, "We will also send people to search the Jiang residence. Whether Mr. Jiang was wrongly accused or not, the truth will soon be revealed."
Jiang Heci was instantly shocked and looked at Chen Shaoyou in disbelief. He could see the determination in the young man's eyes.
They... left something at Jiang's house.
But how is that possible?
Jiang Heci couldn't understand it. There were not many servants in Jiang's house, and each of them was an old man who had followed him for decades and was loyal to him. How could Zuo Shanzhang's people go in and put things there?
"If we search and find nothing, will you let grandpa come back?" Li Suining asked pitifully.
Chen Shaoyou curled his lips. Since he was going to search, he was sure that he would find something. It could only be said that Jiang Heci had been too rampant in recent years. He was not satisfied with being the son-in-law of a prime minister, so he had to end up with such a miserable end.
He waved his hand, signaling his men to take Jiang Heci away, and at the same time answered Li Suining's question nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the Dali Temple values justice above all else and would never wrongly accuse a good person, especially when that person is Elder Jiang!"
Li Suining knew that she could not save her grandfather at this moment, so she could only follow them downstairs with tears in her eyes and watch them take her grandfather away.
"Miss Seven, let's go to Jiang's house now." Qingyun said in a low voice.
Little Dumpling nodded vigorously. She wiped away her tears and silently told herself, "Li Suining, you can't cry. You have to be strong! You must protect your grandfather and your beautiful mother."
Qingyun first carried Xiaotuanzi onto the horse, and then he got on as well. The two of them immediately headed towards Jiang's house.
When the two arrived at the door of Jiang's house, they saw that there were already soldiers guarding there. Obviously, when the Dali Temple went to arrest Jiang Heci, they had already sent people to search Jiang's house.
The two men dismounted one after another and stood quietly outside Jiang's house waiting. After about half an hour, the people from the Dali Temple gave up and left angrily.
"It seems they returned empty-handed." Qingyun said in a low voice.
Li Suining breathed a sigh of relief. If they really found anything, then her grandfather... When she thought of the scene at the execution ground, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
Soon, they saw Jiang Yinyue coming out.
"Mom!" Little Tuanzi couldn't hold back any longer and immediately ran over crying and threw himself into Jiang Yinyue's arms, "Mom, they took grandpa away, wuwuwu!"
"Be good, Aning, don't be afraid, everything will be fine." Jiang Yinyue felt a lingering fear when she thought of the letter she had kept close to her body.
It turned out that after Xiao Wu knew that there were people from the Northern Barbarians in Wangjiang Tower, he immediately guessed what Zuo Shanzhang wanted to do, and also knew what crime would cause the veteran of three dynasties to be executed.
It's treason!
Therefore, he immediately sent someone to find Jiang Yinyue and asked her to return to the Jiang residence to see if there was any solid evidence that Jiang Heci was collaborating with the enemy.
In fact, Jiang Yinyue searched for a long time after she came back, and finally found these letters in a very secret place in the study. When she got the letters, she was shaking all over. She couldn't believe what the consequences would be if the people from the Dali Temple found these letters?
She gritted her teeth in hatred. Zuo Shanzhang wanted to kill her father!
After dealing with matters at Jiang's house, the group went to meet Xiao Wu.
Jiang Yinyue handed the letter she found to Xiao Wu, "It's all written in Northern Barbarian language, I can't understand it, but..."
She showed an incredulous expression, "Some of the letters do look quite old."
Xiao Wu silently flipped through the letters and sneered, "It seems that our Prime Minister has been very busy all these years."
"It was done by those two brothers!" Jiang Yinyue suddenly understood. Ever since Zuo Sixian and Zuo Jiali were older, Zuo Shanzhang had suggested that they visit the Jiang residence several times a year. So, every time they went to the Jiang residence, they were actually preparing to finally overthrow Jiang Heci.
"How abominable!" She really hated it to the core.
Little Dumpling was so angry that he stamped his feet. "But hasn't grandpa always taken care of him in the court? Why would he treat grandpa like this? He is so mean."
She looked at Xiao Wu with some worry, "Third brother, if they didn't find the letter, is grandpa okay?"
"It should be, but we have to wait a few days." Xiao Wu patted the little fellow's head, "Don't worry, sister. Your grandfather has some influence in the court. Everyone will speak up for him. Scholars from all over the country will also speak out. And dad, he will lead the generals to stand up."
Li Suining pursed her lips. She really missed her parents. "Third brother, I want to go back."
"Be good, bear with it for a few more days." Xiao Wu touched his sister's little head and whispered in her ear, "Now your beautiful mother needs you more, right? Back home, I will tell Dad and Mom that you miss them very much and that you are very good, okay?"
"Okay!" Little Dumpling nodded and stood next to Jiang Yinyue again.
"Miss Jiang, you can go back now. I'll let Qingyun tell you about the arrangements going forward." Xiao Wu's expression grew more serious. "Just bear with it for a few more days, and it will be over soon."
"Okay, the same thing, thank you." Jiang Yinyue was truly grateful. "Thank your parents for me, too."
She gently took the little girl's hand and headed towards the Prime Minister's Residence. Qingyun quickly followed them.
When Xiao Wu returned to the general's mansion, he saw Bai Yunfeng, Wei Ranzhu and Bai Yu'an all in Qinxin Garden. The three seemed to have had an argument and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
He subconsciously looked at Wei Ranzhu, asking with his eyes what had happened.
At this time, Bai Yu'an threw his sleeves, left a word, and walked away angrily, "Dad is right, the General's Mansion was built by you, and now you are taking such a big risk for an outsider, we can only accompany you."
