Chapter 30 The Man Behind the Scenes
Jiang Rong felt a surge of joy at having regained what he had lost.
My mother's manuscript still exists!
Jiang Rong looked at Jiang Cai, as if he was looking at a dead person:
"Yes. As long as you hand over the manuscript, I will spare your life today."
Xie Lingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't have to spare his life, you can still pry open his mouth and get what you want."
When Jiang Cai heard this, he was so frightened that his legs trembled...
He had heard rumors that those playboys were very skilled in torturing slaves.
He is very aware of his own integrity and will definitely not be able to withstand the punishment...
"Second Miss, I saved the eldest lady's manuscript, and I have made a great contribution!" Jiang Cai hurriedly defended himself.
Jiang Rong's thin lips curled up in a hint of sarcasm.
Stealing her mother's belongings and selling them for profit...
Such a treacherous person actually had the nerve to say that it was his credit that he sold her mother's belongings for money.
Jiang Cai must die.
But not now.
"Well... I'll count your contribution as one of my own, so I'll let you go today." Jiang Rong said.
She keeps her word.
If I say I won’t kill him today, I will definitely kill him another day.
"Thank you, Second Miss! You are so generous and kind, and have done me so much good. From now on, I will be loyal to you till my death!" Jiang Cai expressed his loyalty without hesitation.
Xie Lingxi glanced at Jiang Rong's face and said nothing more. Since Jiang Rong didn't want to kill him, then let her do it.
…
Half an hour later.
Jiang Rong locked the copper lock of the study again, pretending that he had never been there.
Jiang Cai brought two boxes of manuscripts from his residence. He had copied many prescriptions from the manuscripts to sell...
There are also some messy and disorganized pharmacology manuscripts that were not compiled into a book and could not be sold because they were incomprehensible.
"If my aunt asks me whether I have been to the library today, you know how to answer." Jiang Rong said calmly.
This is why she didn't kill Jiang Cai.
So that Chang can avoid discovering something wrong in advance.
"I understand, the second young lady did not open the library! You know nothing." Jiang Cai's face was full of flattery.
He has already sold Chang to Jiang Rong.
Of course, he didn't dare to self-destruct in front of Chang.
He was secretly thankful that Jiang Rong did not go to the Chang family to settle the score, otherwise, he would definitely be punished by the Chang family.
Jiang Rong's eyes swept across the villa, and finally fell on the small flower field in front of the library.
The flowers in front of the library were planted by my mother herself.
My mother especially loves peonies, so she planted seven or eight of them in this fence, Yao Huang and Wei Zi, in all their colors, so gorgeous and tempting.
She must take good care of the things her mother left behind.
"Move all these flowers out. I want to take them back to the palace." Jiang Rong ordered.
Jiang Cai didn't dare to object to Jiang Rong at this time. Without saying a word, he ordered the gardener to transplant them into pots and carry the pots one by one into the carriage...
…
The mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, the rear residence.
"Jiang Rong went to Yuquan Villa today? What did she do there?" Chang looked at Yingxia who was reporting in front of her.
As soon as Jiang Rong left, Yingxia came secretly to inform Chang.
"The Second Miss didn't say anything." Yingxia replied, "The Second Miss took the Prince with her, perhaps to see the sea of flowers."
Chang was a thoughtful person. After pondering for a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him:
"I gave her the key to the villa yesterday!"
In that bunch of keys, there are the keys to the main gate of the villa, the keys to the villa's treasury, and most importantly, the keys to the library!
She immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.
She didn't want Jiang Rong to find any clues at such a critical moment.
Yesterday I was only thinking about the Xie family's business and didn't think about this for a while.
"Don't worry, Second Madam. Second Miss goes to the villa every year, but never enters the library. The First Madam's belongings are sealed there, and she won't disturb it easily." The nanny comforted.
Chang sighed, "I have always been cautious, but that noble is so lawless that he insisted on burning the manuscript left by Bai. Alas, this kind of thing can only be done after killing Jiang Rong."
"But she couldn't wait to destroy Bai's hard work and couldn't wait even a moment."
The nanny soothed her, "The second young lady didn't notice anything in the past year. You taught her to be well-behaved and sensible. Even if she saw the manuscript being burned, she would never suspect you... She would believe whatever you say."
"Of course I am sure that I can make her believe me, but it just adds a lot of trouble. Your Excellency really leaves me with a mess." Chang paused and said:
"Send a message. After Jiang Rong leaves, ask Jiang Cai to come over."
"yes."
As soon as Jiang Rong left, Jiang Cai immediately took orders to come and pay a visit to Chang.
"What is the Second Miss doing at the villa today?" Chang asked.
Jiang Cai felt uneasy in his heart, but he looked calm as an old dog. If he couldn't even save face, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as the manager.
"I came for a look and dug up the peonies left by the eldest lady."
"Is that so..." Chang was relieved and asked casually, "Can she go into the library?"
"No." Jiang Cai answered immediately.
"You have worked hard to guard Yuquan Villa for so many years. I gave the title deed of the villa to Jiang Rong. It was just a formality. Everything will remain the same. Do you understand?" Chang typed slowly.
Jiang Cai kowtowed respectfully, "This old slave understands. You are the only master of the villa, and this old slave and others are loyal to you!"
Chang said, her eyes paused on his red and swollen face, then looked at the obvious bloodstain on his neck: "Who beat you?"
"Second Madam, the Northern Prince is too domineering! He is the prince..." Jiang Cai immediately showed his grief and indignation:
"I was almost replaced just because I complained... You have to make the decision for me!"
Chang recalled Xie Lingxi's behavior yesterday and said, "Xie Lingxi is now bewildered by Jiang Rong. You must obey them and don't offend them... You have been wronged. Come, give Manager Jiang a bottle of golden wound medicine and another five hundred taels of silver."
"This old servant bows to thank the Second Madam!" Jiang Cai had a grateful look on his face and retreated with the silver and medicine.
Chang was relieved. It was good that Jiang Rong didn't find out.
…
On the way back home.
"Young Master, can these two boxes of books be stored in your study first?" Jiang Rong asked.
Xie Lingxi was very generous, "I'll have someone prepare a study room for you."
"Thank you, Prince. But I don't want anyone to know that I got these two boxes of books." Jiang Rong said.
She also has Yingxia as her spy.
A fleeting thought flashed across Xie Lingxi's eyes, "Okay. Jingzhe, carry it to Moyanzhai. Come over anytime you want to use it."
"Yes." Jingzhe accepted the order.
Xiao Nanxing couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. That's where we usually plot. Did the prince kick me out?
When they returned to Jinyuyuan, Yingxia immediately came to greet them.
Jiang Rong pretended nothing had happened and ordered her to transplant the peonies in the yard.
After standing in front of the window and watching the peony quietly for a while, Jiang Rong withdrew his gaze. It turned out that there was someone behind Chang.
No wonder she could get the Yellow Spring Poison.
