Chapter 17 Seeking Death
"Grandmother, today, cousin Caiwei failed to take care of herself and harmed my eldest sister-in-law. She blames herself and refuses to stay in the mansion, but my second sister can't bear to leave her. I think it's better to compromise and send cousin to Shuilian to practice meditation and let cousin pray for my eldest sister-in-law for a month as an apology." Jiang Rong saw the old concubine's hesitation and suggested:
"Wait until January to bring my cousin back. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
The grandmother knew that Chen Caiwei was a suspect, but for the sake of the Chen family, she just wanted to send Chen Caiwei away.
But Jiang Rong didn't want her to go home alive.
She must die.
Jiang Rong knew that this evidence was not enough to convict Chen Caiwei of the death penalty. Chen Caiwei was not a fool. Since she had set up the scheme, she was the first to clear herself of all charges.
Jiang Rong just wanted to prove Chen Caiwei's negligence and let her go out to pray for blessings.
"That's great! Second sister-in-law is right! I agree!" Xie Ruojiao quickly expressed her support and gave Jiang Rong a grateful look.
Old Concubine Xie's eyes fell on Jiang Rong and she nodded slightly, "Rong'er, you are kind-hearted and tolerant, and you are a good child. Caiwei, don't let your cousin's sister-in-law down."
"Thank you, grandmother, thank you, cousin, thank you, second sister..." Chen Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was full of emotion:
"Caiwei is grateful that my cousin's wife is willing to believe me."
Jiang Rong smiled innocently, her eyebrows slightly curved, "Just now I was angry because I saw my sister-in-law was in trouble, so I was rude to my cousin. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we are all family, and we should be harmonious."
Concubine Zhao glared at Chen Caiwei coldly. If she hadn't been kept to deal with Jiang Rong, she would have definitely driven Chen Caiwei out based on what happened to Qiao today!
"Come here, beat this traitorous servant to death." Old Concubine Xie glanced coldly at Xiao Tao who was kneeling on the ground, and said:
"Caiwei is young and can't control others, so she makes people do this behind her back. Madam Zhou, go serve Caiwei and discipline the servants for her."
A maidservant beside Old Concubine Xie stepped forward to receive the order.
"Thank you, grandma!" Chen Caiwei's face was full of gratitude, but she felt a little aggrieved in her heart.
It was obvious that the old woman wanted to leave someone to monitor her.
Although I trust her for now, I am still a little worried. In today's game, I really lost more than I gained.
I offended Concubine Zhao, aroused my grandmother's suspicion, and had to go to a nunnery to suffer...
…
Chen Caiwei packed her luggage that day and was sent to Shuilian Hospital.
The guests did not say anything on the surface, but the scandal of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Northern Prince's Mansion stripping off her clothes in public was quietly spread among the aristocratic family circle.
The two things happened together, and some new rumors came out.
"Miss, people outside are saying that Miss Chen has been in love with the eldest young master for a long time, and out of jealousy, she did this to your sister-in-law..." Yingxia was talking about the gossip outside.
Jiang Rong half leaned on the couch, smiling, "That's not bad."
The palace kept the poisoning of Shen Wenyuan a secret, and the guests were unaware of it. Jiang Rong remained unscathed in this rumor storm.
"Qiao has woken up and is smashing things in the house now." Yingxia said again.
Jiang Rong curved his lips and said, "Then I have to go and persuade her. Don't let her get so depressed that she wants to commit suicide!"
"I see that Mrs. Qiao has no intention of committing suicide?" Yingxia asked in surprise.
Jiang Rong smiled slightly, "You don't understand. My sister-in-law is the daughter of a scholarly family. She values her reputation the most. She behaved inappropriately in front of everyone today. She must be ashamed and angry. Now that her seductive behavior is spreading among the people, how can she still have the face to live?"
