This was a rare moment after his sister's death when Wang Hanzhang had the patience to speak nicely to his brother-in-law.
Jiang Rongqing listened with his head down, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and smiled and agreed, "Brother-in-law, what you said makes sense! I am the one who is stupid."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Mingzhi seemed to have seen her stepfather, who always had the final say at home, nodding and bowing in front of her uncle, and agreeing submissively.
Her father was like a mouse meeting a cat in front of her uncle!
The news spread quickly. When they heard that the maid of the Jiang family's eldest daughter had been found, everyone in Minghu was confused. "What do you mean Miss Jiang's maid? We are looking for Miss Jiang now!"
The man who had just climbed out of the water and was wringing his hair was very angry. He thought that this man was really mentally ill. Who cares about Miss Jiang's maid?
Unexpectedly, the messenger repeated loudly again: "Don't look anymore, Miss Jiang's maid has been found. Our young lady has been seen by a doctor. She is fine. Thank you all for your hard work!"
Someone questioned: "Who are you? Why should we believe you?"
The messenger was not angry and introduced himself: "I am from the Wang family of Fuchang Street!"
He even waved the badge that proved his identity in front of everyone. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then they understood what was going on. "It turns out that the one who drowned was the maidservant of your eldest daughter, and it's so difficult for you princes to find her!"
The person who reported the news was smart. He immediately took this opportunity to explain to everyone what his uncle had told him.
Among those who helped to go into the water to look for people, some secretly sighed that they were lucky, some were angry because they had worked in vain and did not gain any advantage, but because of the power of the Wang family, they dared not say anything, and some muttered something under their breath, climbed out of the water, and went to change their clothes without saying anything.
Several noble princes floated on the water like gourds, with a similar stiffness on their faces.
In another pleasure boat, Chu Muchi, who was watching all this from the other side of the river, was holding a wine cup and smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
"Look at my nephews, which one of them is the one who can inherit the throne?"
He said this so brazenly and boldly that the people around him fell silent, not daring to make a sound!
Bai Hui Niang frowned and stood up from the pleasure boat, ready to leave. "How could it not be Jiang Mingzhi? I saw it with my own eyes!"
She wanted to expose the Wang family's lies to cover up the truth, but was stopped by the nanny beside her. "My queen, please don't be foolish at this time. If you go out and make a fuss, the Wang family might blame you. You won't gain any advantage and will only bring shame upon yourself. Why bother?"
Bai Hui Niang was then like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, and she regained her sanity.
Thinking that she had let Jiang Mingzhi escape again, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. It was so painful!
"How come she always has such good luck!"
Before, she wanted to teach her a lesson by holding a polo match, but because she suddenly diagnosed her pregnancy, she had to let her go temporarily. Now Jiang Mingzhi finally fell into her hands, and she saw that she would be skinned alive, either dead or her reputation would be ruined. She might even marry someone else and have to live her life looking at her toes. But she returned to the Wang family safely!
Now, with just one word from the Wang family, her reputation was saved.
