Chapter 29 The Manuscript is Ruined
The spring scenery is in its best form.
On Yuquan Mountain, a whole sea of flowers flutters in the wind, colorful and charming.
"There is a hot spring on the mountain, which is suitable for growing flowers and plants. The front mountain is a flower garden, and the back mountain is a medicinal garden. They are all left by my mother when she was alive..." On the mountain path, Jiang Rong pointed to the sea of flowers and introduced them to Xie Lingxi.
Now the medicines in this medicine garden are supplied to three pharmacies.
The flower garden was provided to the Jiang family for use.
"I come here for a short stay every winter. Look at that yard over there. Here we are!"
Jiang Cai, the manor's steward, came running over to greet them, his tone revealing a bit of complaint, "Why is the Second Miss here? She didn't tell us in advance, and we didn't prepare anything."
"No need to prepare anything, I'll just come and take a look." Jiang Rong said calmly. She knew that Jiang Cai was from the Chang family...
The managers of those shops were all from the Chang family.
Now is not the time to move them.
So as not to alert the enemy.
"How can you, a steward, be so rude to the Crown Prince's wife? Do I need to report to you when the master is coming?" Feicui glared at Jiang Cai angrily, then looked at Jiang Rong:
"Princess, this man is so disrespectful, why not replace him!"
Jiang Cai's face trembled with fear, but when he thought of Chang, he stiffened his neck and said:
"Second Miss, I am a loyal servant of the Jiang family. I have served the Jiang family loyally all my life. You cannot replace me..."
"You are loyal to the Jiang family, so go find the Jiang family. My wife, you can do whatever you want." Xie Lingxi glanced at him coldly, with a look of arrogance in his eyes:
"Can't change? What a joke!"
Who in the capital doesn't know the name of the playboy Prince of the Northern King?
He is just an unreasonable playboy who does whatever he wants.
"Second Miss! I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts!" When Jiang Cai saw Xie Lingxi speak, he knew that this person had no taboos, so he immediately became timid and knelt in front of Jiang Rong and begged bitterly:
"I am just... just worried that I didn't prepare food in advance... and I can't satisfy you. I am loyal to you..."
Jiang Rong said calmly, "You are rude, slap me fifty times."
Jiang Rong walked straight in after passing Jiang Cai. Feicui was very proud and ordered the servants to slap Jiang Cai...
Jiang Cai felt resentful but didn't dare to say anything. He could only look at Jiang Rong's back with hatred and bear a grudge.
…
"I want to sort out my mother's manuscripts. If you feel bored, why not go for a walk around? The scenery here is nice and worth a look." Jiang Rong looked at Xie Lingxi and smiled.
Xiao Nanxing immediately stepped forward, "Does the Crown Prince's wife understand medicine? If she doesn't, there might be mistakes. I am proficient in medicine, why not let me sort it out together..."
He had already received instructions from the prince to look for clues about the nine miraculous medicines.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor Xiao!" Jiang Rong agreed deeply and expressed his gratitude quickly.
She really doesn't know any medical skills.
So the group walked to the door of the library.
On the old door hung a weathered and rusty copper lock. Jiang Rong took out a copper key and opened the door...
For a moment, I was stunned.
I saw that the rows of bookshelves, which should have been filled with manuscripts, were empty.
Jiang Rong rushed in quickly and looked around...
In the center of the library was a four-legged square tripod with lotus and crane patterns. Inside was a thick layer of ashes and a few pages of books that had not been completely burned.
Jiang Rong picked up one of the pages and clenched his fist in anger, "This is my mother's handwriting..."
This is the manuscript left by my mother.
"Who... burned all the manuscripts? This is... the hard work of a doctor!" Xiao Nanxing felt the same way, feeling regretful and angry.
Xie Lingxi looked around the room, walked to the windowsill to check, and then looked up at the roof...
There are no signs of prying windows or turning over tiles...
"Who else has the key?" Xie Lingxi looked at Jiang Rong.
"No more." Jiang Rong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "But Jiang Cai knows best who has been here."
soon.
Jingzhe then carried Jiang Cai, whose old face was red and swollen, over.
As soon as Jiang Cai saw the scene in the library, he secretly thought something was wrong.
"Tell me, who burned my mother's manuscripts?" Jiang Rong's voice was cold.
Jiang Cai tried to get away with it, shaking his head, "I don't know..."
"Then kill him." Jiang Rong said coldly.
Jiang Cai was horrified.
Before he could react, Jingzhe's knife was already on his neck.
"Miss Second, please spare my life! This old slave...how are you going to explain to Second Madam if you kill me?" Jiang Cai's face turned pale and he begged for mercy in a panic.
"Since you said you didn't know, then it's you who destroyed it. You destroyed my mother's belongings, and your aunt will only praise me for the good killing." Jiang Rong's voice was cold.
The blade of Jingzhe gently cut Jiang Cai's neck...
"It hurts, it hurts... Miss, please spare me, this has nothing to do with me! I confess, I confess everything!" Jiang Cai felt the pain in his neck and blood splattered. He was really worried that his head would be torn off in the next moment, and he said anxiously:
"I was not the one who destroyed the First Madam's belongings! A year ago, the Second Madam suddenly asked me to give the servants a day off and sent everyone in the village away..."
"That day, I saw smoke coming out of the villa from a distance. These manuscripts were burned by the Second Madam. It has nothing to do with me..."
Jiang Rong lowered her brows, she figured it out.
After my cousin from my previous life came, I told Chang that I wanted to sort out my mother's belongings, but before she could go, the villa caught fire...
The manuscript was not burned two years later at all.
It's been ruined long ago.
The fire in the previous life was just to cover up.
Chang deliberately sent all the servants away...
Obviously, besides her, there was another shameful person who came here that day.
Moreover, if it was Chang's idea, why wait until now?
When his father died, Jiang Rong was only three years old. Since then, the villa has been in the hands of the Chang family...
She could have ruined everything a long time ago.
This key, together with the title deed, returned to Jiang Rong today.
There is another mastermind behind Chang.
Seeing Jiang Rong's face becoming increasingly ugly, Jiang Cai knew that he had failed to keep her safe and was afraid that he would die, so he struggled to survive:
"Miss, spare my life... These manuscripts... I have copies of these manuscripts... If you are willing to spare my life, I will give them to you. Otherwise, I will destroy the copies..."
Xiao Nanxing kicked him angrily, "You can't enter the library, so you want to just pick up a few books and pretend to be someone else?"
"I really have a copy! Although I don't have the key, I am a little proficient in making keys. If there is a lock, I can make a copy..." Jiang Cai said hurriedly:
"On the black market, the Bai family's prescription can be sold for one hundred taels of silver! I really copied it word for word! This is all silver! I definitely didn't copy it wrong!"
The Bai family in Jiangbei has produced famous doctors from generation to generation. The Bai family's prescriptions are very popular.
Jiang Cai secretly copied the medical books left by Bai and sold them for money.
