Jiang Ruohua did not dodge, but the slap did not land on her face.
While the Third Madam was talking, her face was angry and furious. She was angry that Jiang Ruohua had discovered all this, and she was also furious that Jiang Ruohua was young after all. What could this little thing do to her? She was still the mistress of the Duke's Mansion! Wouldn't Jiang Ruohua still be in her hands?
But suddenly a man rushed in, crying and shouting on the ground: "Madam! It's bad! Someone from the previous dynasty filed a lawsuit, and my master...my master has been sent to prison!"
The arrogant hand stopped in front of Jiang Ruohua. The sudden change made the third lady dizzy. Jiang Ruohua sat quietly where she was, handed the vase with flowers to Hua Chan, and said: "The flowers are well arranged. Put it on the table. It's pleasing to the eyes."
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. The third lady sat down on the ground in disbelief. The maid behind her screamed and helped her, but it was of no avail.
A hand was extended in front of the Third Madam. It was Jiang Ruohua, who was smiling. She smiled softly, but she seemed like a fierce ghost who could capture the soul and lock the life: "Auntie, it's late autumn, the ground is cold, don't you make me feel distressed?"
The Third Madam seemed to have used up all her strength and fiercely opened Jiang Ruohua's hand, but when she raised her head and met the confident eyes, the Third Madam's endless curses were stuck in her throat. She felt a chill in her heart and pointed at Jiang Ruohua in disbelief, "It's you... no... you dead girl, how can you have such ability? Is it the King of Ying? No... the prince would not be like this, why? Why? What on earth did you do, little bitch!"
"What are you talking about, aunt?" Jiang Ruohua's eyes were slightly red, and her tearful face was adorable, but there was no emotion in her eyes. "Hua'er is just a weak girl, how could she have sent her uncle to jail? That is a matter of government, how can Hua'er interfere?"
She kept saying that she was weak and innocent, and she cleared herself cleanly, but she left a sarcastic smile for the third wife, and quietly watched the third wife lying on the ground like a dog that had lost its home.
Of course, she did all these things. Who said that she couldn't interfere in government affairs because she was a woman?
After getting useful information from the fake King Ying, she ordered Gan Yunsheng to continue digging into the details. It took a lot of effort to find out everything that Jiang Sanye did to curry favor with the emperor. Of course, Jiang Sanye, a small official, was not the mastermind, but who asked him to do the most work? After digging out the mastermind, the evidence was solid. Jiang Ruohua was thinking about who would be the most suitable person to hand over the evidence. It would not
work to just rely on the intelligence network she had barely established to dig out the scandals of some officials. If she went to a prince and handed over the evidence to others, she might be blamed. She had no position to fight against these princes, otherwise she would have directly brought down the King Ying with the same means.
The old subordinates of her father and grandfather were all military generals, and the foreign clans were merchants, neither of whom had a say in the court. She calmed down and started to think again. The
next person she thought of was Xu Weiqing, a man who had once been in the court, and who might be able to find a suitable candidate for her.
She was almost beaten to a bloody pulp by Xu Weiqing, but the pain was worth it. Even though Xu Weiqing's words were harsh, he couldn't beat someone who was more persistent than him. He probably lost his temper in the end and left her a name. Later, Senior Brother Ayao reminded her that this person was a student taught by Xu Weiqing, and asked her to report Xu Weiqing's name, and this person would definitely help her.
This man's surname is Wang. He is now a censor. He is a very upright person. At first, even if Xu Weiqing was brought up, Lord Wang did not agree. It was not until he saw the evidence collected by Jiang Ruohua, all of which were the evils committed by these treacherous officials, that he agreed to take over the matter. After
discussing with several like-minded colleagues, they jointly wrote a letter to the emperor. They did not mention Jiang Ruohua's existence, which was also what Jiang Ruohua hoped for.
It happened that the third wife discovered the clues in the mansion and ran to Jiang Ruohua to question him. When she came, she hit the third wife hard!
It was really refreshing!
"Madam, you have to think of a way to save the old man!"
The nanny beside the third wife hurriedly reminded her. Now is not the time to be angry with Jiang Ruohua here!
"You... you wait for me!" The Third Madam pointed at Jiang Ruohua and stood up from the ground tremblingly. She said that she would deal with this little bitch after she had dealt with the matter of Jiang Sanye!
"Goodbye, auntie."
Jiang Ruohua smiled and sent the Third Madam away, but she would not be idle, as this was just the beginning.
The fact that Jiang Sanye was imprisoned was a blow to many people in the Jiang Mansion. After all, except for Jiang Ruohua, the rest were either Jiang Sanye's children or Jiang Sanye's women.
Aunt Yuan did not change her actions. After she knew about this, she hurriedly pushed Jiang Ruohua to come over to ask, but Jiang Ruohua did not answer directly. She just asked Jiang Ruoqi: "The Li Mansion sent someone to ask, and you have also met the second son of the Li family. What do you think?"
Taking advantage of the last palace banquet, she did not forget to promise Aunt Yuan. In the end, she chose the second son of the Li family with a clean family background. The Li family is upright. The second son of the Li family is said to be well educated. He has an older brother, Mrs. Zhang, and he does not need to worry about family affairs. Jiang Ruohua seems to be a very suitable candidate.
Jiang Ruoqi was stunned, and Xiaosheng said: "But father..."
"If he does something wrong, no one can save him." Jiang Ruohua took her sister's hand and said earnestly, "Fifth sister, this may be difficult for you to accept, but you must first focus on your aunt and yourself."
"I'm not lying to you. No matter what happens in the end, you are still the daughter of this Duke's Mansion. You still have your elder sister and grandfather, as well as your aunt and your unborn brother. I will cooperate with your aunt. The condition I promised your aunt is that I must help you find a good family and don't let your marriage become a stepping stone for your father's career."
She pulled Jiang Ruoqi to sit down and lowered her voice and said, "Now the situation in our family is known to everyone outside. With my grandfather in charge, women and children will not be affected. Today, the husband of the Li family Someone secretly sent me a message, saying that she thinks you are good. As long as you are willing, she will arrange your marriage with the second son of the Li family in a while. Please give me a definite answer. What do you think of the second son of the Li family? "
When something happened to the Jiang family, the Li family did not regret it, which shows that their character is indeed good. Although Jiang Ruoqi is a little shy, she is also a smart and steady girl. When Mrs. Li saw her that day, she also liked Jiang Ruoqi. Now she just needs Jiang Ruoqi to nod and the matter can be settled.
