Feng's mind was working quickly, and she was also thinking about this matter.
She had carefully questioned the people serving her daughter, and it was not Zhen'er's fault for what happened today. It was obviously the bitch Jiang Yushu who deliberately designed it to frame Zhen'er!
I think she must be holding a grudge against me, but what's the point of doing this? Is it to confirm Zhen'er's reputation as a kinsman? But what good would this do her?
Feng felt confused and Jiang Mingzhi also had doubts about it.
"If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, rumors will spread that Third Sister is vicious and wants to murder even her own sisters. Don't Father and Madam know what's being said about Third Sister now? Or would you rather see Third Sister being vilified than ask the government to investigate this matter?"
Jiang Rongqing and Feng were both stunned. After hearing what Jiang Mingzhi said, they felt that it would be better to ask the government to investigate the case, so that Zhen'er could be cleared of the charges sooner.
This was the first time that the two agreed with Jiang Mingzhi's proposal. Gao Jian immediately took Jiang Rongqing's sign and went to the government office to report.
At this time, the doctor also arrived. Jiang Mingzhi waited for the doctor to enter the room to take Jiang Yushu's pulse and examine him before going in.
The person who came was Doctor Tan from Chunlin Pavilion. When he saw Jiang Mingzhi, he nodded slightly, bowed his hands, and saluted Jiang Mingzhi.
"Don't be so polite, Doctor Tan. I wonder how my sister is doing now?"
Doctor Tan saw Jiang Rongqing and Feng Shi and the others entering the room shortly after. He smiled and said, "It's okay, fortunately, no vital parts were injured, otherwise it would be quite troublesome. It's just a broken leg and a slightly dislocated arm. The fall scraped a vein on the back of the hand, but the bleeding has stopped now. I'll have someone bring a splint to reconnect the bones for the second young lady. She'll be fine after a few months of recuperation."
After hearing this, Jiang Mingzhi felt relieved.
She was really afraid that something might happen to Jiang Yushu. To be honest, Jiang Yushu was the only bloodline left in the Wang family, and she, the daughter with a changed heart, was just a ridiculous fake.
Jiang Yushu has lived well for so many years. If something happened now, she would really regret it and blame herself.
“Everything is made with the best herbs.”
Jiang Mingzhi did not forget to remind Doctor Tan that the money this time must naturally be paid from the public treasury. If the mansion did not have the money, let Feng find a way, otherwise she would think that being a marquis's wife was so easy.
Feng's expression changed as she listened, but she didn't say anything against it.
Jiang Mingzhi is now eager to protect her sister. She is afraid that if she says something against it, Jiang Mingzhi will go crazy, which will cause trouble.
Seeing Jiang Yushu still in a coma, Jiang Mingzhi sighed secretly, left Ping'er and Zan'er to take care of her, and took Qingtang out of the house.
Gao Jian came back quickly, bringing people from the yamen with him.
The person who came was the prefect He Zi'an.
He Zi'an was over twenty years old, with a finger-long beard on his chin, which made him look much older than his actual age. He was eight feet tall, looked very upright and righteous, and looked like a senior official.
Jiang Mingzhi knew this man. He had a good reputation in Kyoto. He was always an iron-faced devil and a good investigator. During the years he had been an official in Kyoto, there had been almost no unjust, false or wrong cases, and he had even uncovered many old cases.
Moreover, He Zi'an has not yet married at this age. He said that if he is in this position and has any ties, he will be restricted and it will be difficult for him to truly serve the people. He was praised by His Majesty for this.
Jiang Rongqing stepped forward to greet He Zian with a very humble attitude. Although he was a marquis, he still felt a little insecure in front of this iron-faced and impartial prefect. This feeling was very strange, and he himself didn't know why.
"Since something like this happened at home, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Lord He."
He Zi'an looked around as soon as he entered the courtyard. After hearing Jiang Rongqing's words, he bowed and said modestly, "It's my job, so why bother? I just want to know where all the people involved in this matter are. If we want to investigate the case, we have to sort out everything clearly. I hope you will cooperate."
"It's natural."
Jiang Rongqing nodded and asked Feng to call Jiang Yuzhen in.
Jiang Yuzhen was still a little dazed at the moment. Seeing He Zian, the iron-faced devil, she was so scared that her mouth drooped and she was about to cry.
Feng couldn't help but scold, "Why are you crying? Lord He is here to help us investigate this matter. How can you be so ignorant? Tell Lord He what happened today again. Lord He will surely find out the truth and clear your name."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhen sniffed, then stammered and spoke, recounting what had happened today from beginning to end.
Hearing this, He Zian frowned and glanced upstairs. The blood on the ground had not been cleaned up yet. He Zian asked in confusion, "I wonder if I can go see the injured Second Young Lady?"
With so much blood lost, the injury must be serious. However, since he wants to investigate the case, he naturally wants to see it with his own eyes first.
At this time, Jiang Mingzhi took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and followed Doctor Tan out of the courtyard of Baozhen Tower.
"Doctor Tan, you seemed to have something to say to me just now?"
Since they were all family, they were less cautious when speaking. Doctor Tan confirmed that there was no one around before he whispered, "I do have something to say to the eldest lady. The second lady's injuries are a bit strange. I heard that the third lady pushed her down. I looked at the structure of the building and where the second lady landed. Logically, she should have suffered a brain injury, but it's obvious that the second lady's injuries have avoided the most likely injury location."
Jiang Mingzhi already had some guesses, and now after hearing what Doctor Tan said, those guesses were confirmed. Her face turned cold. Was it really Jiang Yushu who directed and acted in this all by himself?
The conversation stopped there. Doctor Tan still had to go get some medicinal herbs, so he bowed and left first.
Jiang Mingzhi stood there for a long time before turning back to look at Baozhen Tower. He Zian had already asked all the questions he needed to ask and returned to the yard.
Jiang Mingzhi's heart sank. If Jiang Yushu really did this himself, with He Zian's many years of experience in handling cases, he would not be able to hide it from him.
Before she knew why Jiang Yushu did this, she had to stop He Zian from revealing the truth.
"Master He, please pay more attention to this matter."
"I will do my best to investigate the case. My Lord, please stay. I will be leaving now. However, I am afraid I will come to bother you from time to time in the next few days."
It seemed that Lord He was about to leave. Jiang Mingzhi stood aside. Lord He saw her while chatting and laughing, and seemed a little surprised. His eyes stayed on her for a moment before he continued walking forward.
Jiang Rongqing walked a few steps and stopped seeing him off, turning around and coming back.
Feng Shi didn't come out, but stayed inside to comfort her frightened daughter. Jiang Rongqing stopped just one step away from his eldest daughter and asked something that surprised Jiang Mingzhi: "What do you think about this?"
