Ping'er frowned and answered with a cautious look, "Miss Xuezhi has been summoned to Shuntian Prefecture for questioning."
After saying this, he remembered that Jiang Yushu didn't know about this yet, so he added, "The family has reported the Second Miss falling from the attic to the authorities, and now Lord He, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, is in charge of the matter."
"What?!" Jiang Yushu's expression changed drastically, and his voice was hoarse and sharp after he just woke up.
Ping'er had never seen the Second Young Lady like this before, and she couldn't help but be frightened. Jiang Yushu didn't care whether she lost her composure or not, she eagerly asked, "Who told us to report this to the police?"
Ping'er was a little confused, and blinked, "It was the eldest lady who proposed it. The Marquis and the Madam both thought it was a good idea. What's wrong with you, second lady?"
Jiang Yushu didn't expect that the person who suggested reporting to the police was Jiang Mingzhi. He was stunned for a moment, his mind working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
But she didn't dare to imagine what she would face if she was found out.
Not to mention that she couldn't explain it, even if Feng knew that she wanted to frame Jiang Yuzhen, she would kill herself! How should she solve it? Should she tell her elder sister that she did it herself? Then how should she explain to her elder sister why she did it?
For a moment, I felt caught in a dilemma, unable to make up my mind.
"Miss." The voice of the maid came from outside the house.
Jiang Mingzhi walked into the room, sat down beside her bed with a calm expression, and the first thing he said was to ask everyone in the room to leave.
This unusual behavior made Jiang Yushu stunned for a moment, and his heart beat faster.
"Elder sister..." She couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, her lips trembled, and she called Jiang Mingzhi timidly.
"Speak now, while there's still time."
This short sentence stirred up a thousand waves in Jiang Yushu's heart. Could it be that her elder sister already knew all this?
"I……"
Jiang Mingzhi watched her speak word by word and interrupted impatiently, "I don't have much time to listen to you. If Lord He, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, finds out the truth first, I won't be able to help you even if I want to."
The words were ambiguous, and Jiang Yushu didn't dare to take it lightly. She asked tentatively, "Eldest sister, do you already know something?"
Jiang Mingzhi knew something was fishy when she saw her reaction. In fact, she only had guesses and had no definite evidence to prove that Jiang Yushu had staged the incident herself. But what she wanted now was to get the truth out of her, so she pretended to be insightful, nodded her chin slightly, but didn't say a word.
Jiang Yushu thought she meant to agree, and immediately sat back down dejectedly, "Xuezhi said that, right?"
Only Xuezhi knows about this. If she doesn't tell anyone, no one else will know.
"So, are you willing to confess now? I'll only give you a quarter of an hour. Now that you're awake, the Shuntian prefect should be home within half an hour."
Jiang Yushu swallowed and smiled bitterly in her heart. Maybe it wouldn't take that long. The Shuntian prefect might already be on his way to question her.
"Since you hate Feng so much, why don't you just be straightforward and eliminate the roots?"
Jiang Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat when her sister, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly said such shocking words. In order not to reveal any clues, she remained expressionless, just holding the tea and sipping it calmly.
The fragrant aroma of tea lingered at the tip of his nose, making the beautiful face look as illusory as a mirage. For a moment, Jiang Yushu felt as if he was in the Buddha Hall of Daci Temple, kneeling before the Bodhisattva and speaking of his wishful thinking. He was being looked down upon by the gods, and not a single evil thought of his could escape their eyes.
What she didn't know was that during the time she hesitated, Jiang Mingzhi had already begun to feel disappointed. The longer she delayed, the heavier Jiang Mingzhi's disappointment became.
"Because I hate them!"
After a cup of tea of silence, Jiang Yushu suddenly looked up and said something that Jiang Mingzhi expected.
"I can tell my eldest sister everything, but she has to swear to let me marry into a wealthy family."
Just as Jiang Mingzhi was waiting for her next words, Jiang Yushu suddenly made such a request.
"You are my sister, I will naturally make sure you marry as you wish. If you don't like it, I will help you even if it means risking my life. Why would you worry about this?"
There was one more thing Jiang Mingzhi didn't say. With the Wang family around, no matter how bad the marriage was, it wouldn't be that bad. As long as she took care of Feng Shi now, no one would dare to make trouble for the marriages of her sisters in the future.
But Jiang Yushu's eyes were red and she covered her face and started crying. Her emotional look made Jiang Mingzhi guess that the matter might be more serious than she thought, but Jiang Yushu just kept on saying nothing, which was really worrying.
"No, I'm not!"
She roared in a hoarse voice, like a trapped beast.
Just as Jiang Mingzhi was nervously waiting for her to continue, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and Ping'er's voice came into the house with a few greetings: "Madam."
Feng? Why was Feng here at this time? Jiang Mingzhi was about to hear Jiang Yushu's answer, but was interrupted by Feng at this moment, and she felt unhappy.
When Jiang Yushu heard the footsteps outside, he immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
The door was pushed open forcefully, and Feng walked in with a cold face.
"Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"
It's a questioning tone.
Jiang Mingzhi lowered his eyes and glanced at the tea in his hand, his face calm. "Second sister said she had a headache. I think it was hurt on her head. She needs to be out of the wind. I asked someone to close the door. It's also a good opportunity to ask her a few words."
She deliberately spoke the second half of the sentence a little slower, looking at Feng with a calm gaze.
Feng came in so anxiously just now. Could it be that she was worried that she would ask Jiang Yushu something?
Feng's eyelids twitched inexplicably. Jiang Mingzhi's words were flawless and she could not find any fault with them.
"Are you done asking questions now?"
Jiang Mingzhi curled his lips and smiled lightly, "I have asked everything I need to ask, and I know everything I need to know."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late. Ping'er, you guys should help the Second Miss eat something first. The Shuntian Prefecture Governor might come to ask questions later."
Seeing her about to leave, Jiang Yushu subconsciously called out, "Elder Sister!"
She wanted Jiang Mingzhi to stay. At least she felt that with Jiang Mingzhi around, Feng would not dare to attack her.
Jiang Mingzhi turned around and smiled at Jiang Yushu, as if silently comforting him, which actually made Jiang Yushu feel at ease.
Feng didn't know what these two people were up to, but Jiang Mingzhi's words just now clearly told her that she already knew something.
As soon as Jiang Mingzhi left, Feng stood up. Even though Jiang Yushu was prepared, he still couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"Mother Duan, take everyone in the house and retreat outside the yard."
