The morning light was curling up, but Heshou Hall, where breakfast should have been prepared, was completely silent.
At this time, Old Lady Jiang was lying on the couch. When she heard that the eldest daughter had returned home, she ordered Mother An to go out and greet her in person.
Seeing An Ru, Jiang Mingzhi smiled slightly, took An Ru's hand and called out, "Mom An!"
An Ru was a little surprised that the eldest lady had become much more talkative after returning home from her trip.
But she immediately returned to normal, bowed to Jiang Mingzhi, and was about to speak when Jiang Mingzhi pulled her up.
"Mother An!" Jiang Mingzhi frowned and said angrily, "Grandma is sick, how could you keep it a secret? You didn't even tell anyone. I'm the eldest of all the sisters in the family, so I should be filial to Grandma!"
The words were so sincere that An Ru couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard them.
"The old lady thought it was a rare opportunity for Auntie to borrow you to play for a few days, and she didn't want to spoil the young lady's fun, so she gave her instructions, forbidding anyone to report this to the young lady!"
Of course, this was just an excuse, so Jiang Mingzhi didn't pursue the matter further. He and An Ru opened the curtain and went into the house.
"Grandma!" After entering the inner room, Jiang Mingzhi walked forward quickly. Old Madam Jiang also stood up slightly and stretched out her hand towards Jiang Mingzhi.
Jiang Mingzhi sat down on the edge of the bed and held Old Madam Jiang's hand. The eyes of the two were blurred with tears, and for a moment they could not tell how much of their affection was real.
However, after a few pleasantries, the two of them got down to business tacitly.
"You know, Feng has been found."
Jiang Mingzhi was shocked when she heard this. She thought of many possibilities, but she never thought that it would be Feng who found it.
But then, the old lady's next words made Jiang Mingzhi's scalp explode: "But the person is already dead, and now things are a bit troublesome."
Is Feng dead?
The mistress of the mansion died, but Jiang Mingzhi didn't find any signs of funeral from the time he got off the car to Heshou Hall. It was obvious that this matter was suppressed.
Death is the greatest thing. If Feng Shi hadn't done something that affected the Jiang family's reputation, the government wouldn't have kept it a secret.
Suddenly, Jiang Mingzhi had a very bad premonition.
"grandmother."
Jiang Mingzhi looked at the old lady with a serious expression, "This matter is of great importance. Grandma, please tell your granddaughter what the current situation is!"
Old Madam Jiang's face turned red, and she found it difficult to speak. After hesitating for a while, she told Jiang Mingzhi the whole story.
Now, even though Jiang Mingzhi was not the real eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she was shocked by this sudden news.
Feng died of infidelity and her body was left exposed on the street!
Before Jiang Mingzhi could come to his senses, a sound of gold mountain hitting jade pillar was heard outside the house. Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Mingzhi, the grandfather and grandson, looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
"Grandma... please help my mother. The dead are the most important. No matter what, we must find the real culprit!"
The crying sound came from far away and An Ru walked out quickly.
Soon, Jiang Yuzhen came into the house crying with tears on her face.
When she saw Jiang Mingzhi, she was stunned for a moment, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Grandma, Lord He also said there must be some hidden reason behind Mother's matter. Now... I can only ask you to make the decision!"
Seeing this, Madam Jiang frowned, "Master He only said that the matter is still uncertain. When it is determined, there must be something behind it. You are an unmarried girl, so don't get involved in this matter!"
Jiang Yuzhen sobbed, refusing to give up: "Grandma, do you mean that this matter can be resolved from a big matter to a small matter, or even from a small matter to nothing, which would be the best?"
This was indeed what Old Lady Jiang meant, but she didn't say it so bluntly. When Jiang Yuzhen pointed it out so bluntly, she was speechless for a moment and looked at Jiang Mingzhi for help.
Jiang Mingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Third sister, Grandmother doesn't mean to leave your mother's death unexplained. The girls in our family are still in their boudoirs. Regardless of whether there is any truth to this matter, we shouldn't make a fuss about it now."
"What do you know? You just want to take revenge!" Jiang Yuzhen glared at Jiang Mingzhi and sneered, "Don't you think I will believe you? You are a fool who has been stupid for more than ten years. Do you have the right to speak here?"
Jiang Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully, "Alright, go ahead and make a scene, make a scene, and make the whole city know about the unclear death of Marquis Jinyi's wife. I don't mind, if you drag the Marquis Jinyi Mansion into the mud, I can just take Yushu back to Dongjun. But you have to think about it, without the Marquis Jinyi Mansion, will your in-laws have a place for you?"
Jiang Yuzhen, who was about to retort, was stunned, her lips trembling, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment. She wanted to refute Jiang Mingzhi's words, but she didn't know how.
She was also amazed at Jiang Mingzhi's frankness and honesty, and her courage to speak frankly in front of her elders, and she also envied her for having a way out.
"you……"
She stared at Jiang Mingzhi, speechless for a moment.
"Jiang Yuzhen, your mother is dead. As your elder sister, I feel your grief for losing your mother. I won't mind your insubordination today, but remember, there won't be a next time. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you the rules again."
After Jiang Mingzhi finished speaking, she bowed to Old Madam Jiang and said, "Grandmother, since Lord He is at home now, I will go over and ask about the details of this matter. You are not feeling well, so please take care of yourself first. As for other matters, don't worry about them. Father will take care of them."
Under the gratified gaze of Old Lady Jiang, Jiang Mingzhi turned and looked at Jiang Yuzhen.
"If you don't want to put everyone in a passive position, then just be quiet and wait for the results of Lord He's investigation. Of course, if you insist on personally investigating, I won't stop you, but if you dare to make trouble again, I will not forgive you."
At this time, Jiang Yuzhen was stunned. From the moment she entered the room until now, she saw Jiang Mingzhi was terrifyingly steady. This was the first time that she truly felt the ruthlessness of her eldest sister.
After arranging everything in Heshou Hall, Jiang Mingzhi asked Zhong Rui to accompany her and went to the front hall together.
At this time, Jiang Rongqing was answering He Zian's questions. Regarding Feng's mysterious death on the street, naked, He Zian also believed that it was probably committed by an enemy. After all, a good lady of the Marquis's Mansion should not reappear in this way after disappearing.
"Our family has always been harmonious. I've never noticed anything unusual about Madam..."
Jiang Rongqing's voice was filled with tears. After all, she was his wife who had slept in the same bed with him for so many years. Now she had died tragically. As the person sleeping by his side, no matter how cold-blooded Jiang Rongqing was, he couldn't remain indifferent.
But in his opinion, although Feng was a little selfish, she was still kind and compassionate to her servants. Who would use such vicious means to harm her?
He Zian shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with the answer. "If that's the case, I'm afraid things will be a little tricky..."
"No, there has never really been harmony in the family."
When Jiang Rongqing racked his brains and couldn't think of anything unusual at home, a girl's unhurried voice came from outside the door.
