Chapter 51 Sudden Illness

Jiang Wanxue was shocked: "Are you going to bother Father and Mother for such a small matter?"

"Or you will admit what you did?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.

Jiang Wanxue immediately denied: "I didn't do anything, why should I admit it!"

"Don't cry until you see the coffin." Jiang Zhaoyue turned to look at Pei Jingzhou and called out for instructions, "Second Master."

Pei Jingzhou nodded and said, "Pei Jing, go to the Chengning Marquis's Mansion and invite Lord Chengning and his wife to come and have a chat."

"Yes, Second Master." Pei Jing left.

Pei Jingzhou urged: "Hurry up."

"Yes." Pei Jing quickened his pace.

Jiang Wanxue panicked for a moment, but she had no reason to stop it.

Pei Siyan also became nervous.

Xiaotao didn't dare to speak.

Wang vaguely guessed that Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue were involved in this matter, but she knew nothing. She wanted to ask them privately, so she said, "The in-laws can't come for a while, so why don't you go back to the yard and rest first."

Pei Jingzhou continued: "If mother is tired, please go back first."

"Third sister, second sister and your servants cannot go back." Jiang Zhaoyue added.

"Why?" Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue asked together.

"Because you are the perpetrators, you must stay where you are and wait." Jiang Zhaoyue crossed his arms and said bluntly, "Otherwise, what if you collude with others to frame me again?"

"Why do you say we are the culprits!" Pei Siyan was unable to refute.

"Your maid lets a man from another country into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion." Jiang Zhaoyue said with confidence.

Pei Siyan was choked.

Jiang Wanxue complained, "Eldest sister, you did such a shameful thing, and you didn't hide it, and you made such a big fuss about it. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Jiang Zhaoyue said bluntly: "I'm not afraid, okay?"

Jiang Wanxue was suddenly speechless.

Pei Siya and Pei Sijing immediately lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.

Pei Jingzhou then pressed the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Zhaoyue's actions were so inexplicable and unreasonable that Wang, Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue suddenly had no reason to leave.

The pain in Yang Yanchen's vitals subsided, but his forehead, face, and body were covered with wounds and bleeding profusely. He had never suffered such torture in his life and immediately shouted, "Someone come and bandage me up."

"You wish!" Jiang Zhaoyue turned and walked to Xiangqiao, gently pushing her: "Xiangqiao, wake up, wake up."

Xiangqiao frowned slightly.

It seemed that she was about to wake up. Jiang Zhaoyue pushed hard: "Xiangqiao, Xiangqiao."

Xiangqiao slowly opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, and called out in confusion, "Second Madam."

"It's me, how are you?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked softly.

"What happened?" Xiangqiao touched the back of her head, which was aching. She suddenly remembered that when she was closing her umbrella, she was hit hard on the back of her head. Then she knew nothing. She said in horror, "Second Madam, someone attacked me."

"That's right." Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Xiangqiao up and was relieved to see that her complexion, demeanor, and behavior were all normal. It seemed that her brain was not injured.

"Who attacked me?" Xiang Qiao had just arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and had no grudges against anyone. That person... must have been targeting Second Madam. She hurriedly asked with concern, "Second Madam, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I knocked down the guy who attacked you."

Xiang Qiao saw a man lying on the ground covered in blood. Before she could be shocked, she saw Wang and others were there. She was startled.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhaoyue whispered, "Go back to Linhua Courtyard now, go to the east room, and bring me the dowry book and the return gift list from the drawer."

"Yes." Xiang Qiao responded.

Jiang Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment: "And..."

Xiangqiao waited quietly.

Jiang Zhaoyue said, "Bring some snacks over, I'm hungry."

Xiangqiao was stunned.

"Ask Baoxia to bring some snacks and tea." Pei Jingzhou interrupted.

Jiang Zhaoyue looked at him.

"Let's go sit in the pavilion for a while." Pei Jingzhou said.

Jiang Zhaoyue was copying books, getting wet in the rain, beating people, and using his brain to deal with Pei Siyan and others, which was too exhausting.

Now she was really hungry, thirsty and tired. When she heard Pei Jingzhou say this, she immediately smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Second Master."

Pei Jingzhou nodded.

Jiang Zhaoyue turned to Xiangqiao and said, "Do as Second Master says."

"Yes." Xiangqiao left.

Pei Jingzhou looked at Wang: "Mother, are you going back to Songqingtang?"

Wang still remembered the last time she had a fight with Pei Jingzhou in Linhua Courtyard, and she had never been happy with Pei Jingzhou.

Now his tone was not good: "If I go back, I'm afraid someone will bully my daughter."

Pei Jingzhou didn't care about what she said and said, "Then mother, please go sit in the pavilion next to us."

Wang walked to the pavilion next to her and sat down unhappily.

Pei Jingzhou took Jiang Zhaoyue to sit next to him.

Pei Siyan and others followed and sat down.

After a while, Baoxia brought tea and snacks.

Pei Jingzhou poured tea for Wang.

Wang said unhappily, "They say that once you're married, you have to know how to serve your parents-in-law. Some people don't even have such thoughts."

Pei Jingzhou paused.

Pei Siyan and the others looked at Jiang Zhaoyue with contempt in their eyes.

Jiang Zhaoyue replied naturally, "Mother is right, but my husband is worried that his daughter-in-law won't serve well, so he wants to set an example for her first."

Pei Jingzhou curled his lips upon hearing this and continued pouring tea.

Wang gritted her teeth.

Pei Siyan was secretly angry.

Jiang Wanxue was amazed at how good Jiang Zhaoyue was at speaking.

Pei Siya and Pei Sijing admire Jiang Zhaoyue's speaking ability.

Seeing Wang pick up the tea bowl and drink water, Jiang Zhaoyue was finally able to pick up the tea bowl. He drank half of it calmly, and his body and mind finally felt relaxed.

She picked up another piece of walnut cake and ate it quickly and quietly.

Wang, Pei Siyan and others looked at her with disdain.

I'm almost starving to death, who cares about other people's eyes?

Jiang Zhaoyue ate piece after piece, and under the disdainful gazes of Wang, Pei Siyan and Jiang Wanxue, he was finally full, with satisfaction in his eyes.

Pei Jingzhou took a look and raised his beautiful lips slightly.

At this time, Xiangqiao came with the dowry book and the return gift list.

Jiang Zhaoyue took it, flipped through it over and over again, with a faint smile on his lips.

Pei Siyan didn't know what Jiang Zhaoyue was doing and felt uneasy.

Jiang Wanxue didn't believe Jiang Zhaoyue had the ability to clear himself.

At this time, Marquis Chengning Jiang Shihong and his wife Wu came.

"Lord Chengning, Madam Chengning, you are here." Wang said in a light tone.

Jiang Shihong and Wu hurried forward, exchanged a few warm words with Wang and Pei Jingzhou, and turned their gaze to Jiang Zhaoyue who was standing aside.

"Zhaoyue, what stupid thing have you done again!" Wu turned around and scolded Jiang Zhaoyue.

Before Jiang Zhaoyue could speak, Pei Jingzhou's face turned cold and he spoke first: "Madam, my wife hasn't said anything and hasn't done anything, and you come up and scold her. Is she sick or has she suddenly fallen ill? Do you want to ask the palace doctor to take a look?"
