Jiang Yushu shook his head, rubbed his forehead and said, "Xuezhi, I'm a little tired. Help me go back to the house and sleep for a while."
Xuezhi didn't suspect anything and helped Jiang Yushu back to the house.
When he returned from Qinghui Courtyard, he saw Ping'er waiting at the door of Mochun Courtyard. Qingtang went up to her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ping'er took out an invitation and said, "This was just delivered by the maid from the outer courtyard. She said it was from the Wang family to the eldest lady."
Jiang Mingzhi was confused when he heard this and reached out to take the invitation.
It was her aunt who sent an invitation to invite her and her sister to have lunch at the Wang family tomorrow, without mentioning anything else.
Qingtang couldn't help but feel happy, "It seems that our trip to the Wang family was the right one."
Thinking that her young lady had officially broken off relations with the Marquis' wife, and fearing that things would escalate in the future, the Wang family's invitation to the young lady would let the people in the Marquis' Mansion know that the young lady had the Dongjun Wang family standing behind her, and it would also give the Feng family a warning.
In the past, everyone was afraid of the Wang family just because they heard of its reputation. Now the Wang family has really appeared in Kyoto and will also have activities in Bian Jing in the future. This is a hundred benefits and no harm to the eldest lady.
"I'll have someone prepare two sets of clothes for the young lady right away. The Madam hasn't seen her for many years, and I'm afraid she still thinks of her as a young girl who doesn't know much about the world. I'll definitely amaze her tomorrow."
Qingtang's joy was beyond words, and Jiang Mingzhi did not spoil her fun. It was rare for everyone to be happy, so just let them do what they wanted.
But she was unsure in her heart, and even wondered whether she should ask Lu Yun to check and know the Wang family's dynamics in advance so as not to be caught off guard when they met.
But she quickly dismissed the idea. The Wang family was not an ordinary family. If she investigated their affairs and was exposed, it would only backfire.
"Ping'er, go to Baozhen Tower and tell the Second Miss that you can come with me to the Wang family tomorrow to pay your respects to your uncle and aunt."
Ping'er nodded, turned around and went to Baozhen Tower happily.
In just two cups of tea, Ping'er came back panting.
"Miss, over at Baozhen Tower, Xuezhi from the Second Miss's room and the maid next to the Third Miss are fighting. They say the Second Miss stole something from the Third Miss!"
Jiang Mingzhi frowned. She had just said something harsh to Feng, and the next moment something was missing from Jiang Yuzhen's room. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Qingtang, take someone over there to watch over it. Call Xuezhi over and tell her I have something to ask her."
Qingtang also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed Jiang Mingzhi's instructions.
When Xuezhi came over, her clothes were pulled out of shape and her hair was scattered in a mess. Jiang Mingzhi didn't care about that and started asking questions directly. After asking, he found out the whole story.
It turned out that the incident was caused by her birthday.
"The eldest young lady's birthday is on the second day of the fifth lunar month. The second young lady had embroidered a picture of a lady with a hairpin and felt that just one picture wasn't enough, so she said she had a few taels of silver in her box. She heard that Yuehua Tower sold Western things, including a lip balm that was much better than rouge paper, but it cost five taels of silver each. The third young lady had one, so she asked me to buy one with the silver and bring it back, intending to give it to the eldest young lady as a birthday gift on the second day of the fifth lunar month. But the third young lady said her lip balm had fallen off, and Miss Hongyu insisted that the item was right here in the yard."
As Xuezhi spoke, tears began to fall again. Thinking that the eldest and second young ladies were born of the same mother, she would not bear to see the second young lady suffer in vain. She wiped away her tears and continued, "We found the item during the search. Hongyu even asked the housemaid Qingying to identify it. Qingying then falsely accused me, saying that she saw me enter the room and take the item..."
The thread of events was almost clear. Jiang Mingzhi was silent for a moment and asked Zan'er to take Xuezhi back first. However, before the two of them left, Qingtang came back.
Seeing her serious expression, Jiang Mingzhi knew that nothing good was going to happen.
Qingtang said directly: "Miss, the second young lady was pushed down from the attic by the third young lady and is now unconscious."
Jiang Mingzhi, who had been able to remain calm, immediately headed towards Baozhen Tower.
Qingtang was also anxious, but worried that the eldest lady would lose her composure, so she hurried forward and whispered, "Miss, the second lady is relying on you now. You have to decide how to deal with this matter."
Jiang Mingzhi didn't say anything, but his thoughts were racing.
When they arrived at Baozhen Tower, they saw a pool of blood in the cobblestone courtyard. Jiang Yushu had already been carried away.
"It's not me, it's not me, it's herself, it's herself!"
No matter how bad Jiang Yuzhen was, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing. At this moment, she was covering her head and trying to defend herself in panic.
Jiang Rongqing and Feng were both standing in the yard, and they both remained silent, which was rare.
Feng was unprecedentedly generous and took out her own private money to ask someone to invite a doctor.
When Feng saw Jiang Mingzhi coming, her eyelids twitched and she felt a little fear for no reason.
Thinking of Jiang Mingzhi's difficulty and the sensitive timing of this incident, Feng took the initiative to step forward and said, "Mingzhi, your third sister really didn't do this. She's a little girl who's afraid of stepping on an ant to death. How could she be so brave? Don't worry, the doctor is on the way. I'm sure everything will be fine."
If Jiang Yushu's life was not in danger at this moment, Jiang Mingzhi really wanted to admire Feng's expression.
She raised her hand, and Feng couldn't help but shrink her neck. Jiang Mingzhi curled the corners of his mouth and just adjusted the hairpin on his temples.
"What are you afraid of, Madam? As the saying goes, if you do nothing wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door. If you act uprightly and stand up straight, why would you be afraid of rumors, right?"
In fact, she didn't think that Feng would be stupid enough to use her own daughter as a raft just to take revenge on her.
This embroidery building has two floors. Jiang Yuzhen has always lived upstairs, and Jiang Yushu lived downstairs. Given Jiang Yushu's personality, even if he was wronged, he would not go upstairs to argue with Jiang Yuzhen. How could he fall down?
This is really too strange.
"When something like this happens, calling a doctor is the first choice. As for the case, I think we should ask the government officials to come and solve it. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. This man has his own reasons, and the woman has her own reasons. Even if you investigate for a long time, you still can't figure out the reason. The people in the government have encountered more complicated cases than this. I think it won't be difficult to find out the truth. What do you think, father?"
"Call the police?" Jiang Rongqing was dumbfounded. "Do you really not care about the life and death of this family?"
Jiang Mingzhi sneered, "What are you talking about, father? This is just a temporary solution to clear my third sister's name. How can it involve the life and death of our entire family?"
She stood there, her hands clasped, like a poplar in the desert, not afraid of the storm, always standing tall and unshakable.
Jiang Rongqing felt very tired. He had thought that after the master came to his home to perform a ritual, there would be more peace at home. He never expected that such a fight would happen again just a few days later!
