"Third sister, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Seeing that Jiang Yuzhen hadn't come to her senses yet and was standing there stupidly, Jiang Mingzhi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, with the curve of his mouth just right.
"You're very proud, aren't you?"
Jiang Yuzhen glared at Jiang Mingzhi with sidelong eyes. Her half-sister was becoming more and more frightening. She always felt that Jiang Mingzhi was not a human being, but a monster possessed by a demon.
Didn’t my mother think the same at the beginning? She even specially invited a master from Daci Temple to come home, but it was of no use.
If that woman was really her mother, what would she do in the future? If those noble ladies in Kyoto who already looked down on her knew that she had such a mother, how could she still gain a foothold in Kyoto!
Jiang Mingzhi looked at the expression of his "sister", shook his head slightly, and walked away.
Jiang Yuzhen can ignore everything, but she cannot. She must grasp all kinds of information around her as soon as possible so that she can make timely response plans. Now Jiang Yushu should also know that Feng is back. I wonder how she will react.
However, Jiang Mingzhi was not curious about this. She could guess roughly that she was going to meet He Zian now.
He Zian has almost understood everything about Feng's affairs.
Feng insisted that she was kidnapped and those people were obviously instructed to do nothing wrong to her, but only scratched her face.
As she spoke, she secretly looked at Jiang Rongqing's face. Jiang Rongqing did not look relaxed at all. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he obviously felt that this matter was really embarrassing. No matter what she said, his brows never relaxed.
Feng felt a chill in her heart, but she became more determined in her decision. No matter what, she must find a way to regain her foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. Thinking of her daughter's reaction today, she knew that she could not rely on her, but she still had a son!
Even though Jiang Shian was not very talented in studying, he was the only male in the entire Jinyi Marquis Mansion. Even if Jiang Rongqing hated him, he could not abandon her.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved.
He Zian stood up, said a few words to Jiang Rongqing and was about to leave when Jiang Mingzhi walked in from outside.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Rongqing was displeased, his eyes filled with impatience.
Jiang Mingzhi stepped forward and saluted. It was indeed inappropriate for her to appear here at this time, but if she went to look for He Zian later, it would cause trouble if people saw her. It would be better for her to ask to talk to He Zian openly at home when the elders were all there.
He Zian was a little surprised to hear that Jiang Mingzhi wanted to talk to him alone. He couldn't help but think of the day when Jiang Mingzhi was frightened by her horse and almost fell off the cliff, and that untouchable King Yong...
"Why are you causing trouble? This is not something you can control!"
Jiang Rongqing was in a bad mood at the moment and directly rejected Jiang Mingzhi's request.
Jiang Mingzhi didn't want to waste any more words with him, but looked at his grandmother, Old Madam Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat.
Madam Jiang received Jiang Mingzhi's gaze, nodded slightly, and said, "My Lord, Mingzhi is the eldest daughter of the family. She has different opinions on many things. I believe she is asking to see Lord He because of some ideas. Since everyone is here, why not let them talk in your study?"
Once, when his stepmother rejected his opinion, Jiang Rongqing took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He wondered if it was a wrong decision to agree to let his stepmother return to Beijing.
Looking at Jiang Mingzhi again, she had already bowed and followed Lord He to the study room on the side. The windows of the study were wide open, and people at the door could see the two people talking but could not hear them, which was considered to avoid suspicion.
Jiang Rongqing felt better, but was still puzzled. His eldest daughter was really scheming and cunning. It had only been a short time since his biological mother came to Beijing, and she was already on her side.
When he looked up, he met Feng's sad eyes. Jiang Rongqing quickly turned his face away, but Feng still saw a look of disgust in his eyes.
Feng, who originally had a little bit of luck, completely gave up. She didn't dare to look in the mirror, but how could she not know what she looked like now.
It's not that she can't understand Jiang Rongqing's thoughts. After all, which normal man would like her current face? But they have been married for more than ten years. Now that she is in trouble, Jiang Rongqing doesn't care about their years of marriage at all and is so heartless to her.
"Okay, now that you're back, just stay home and don't wander around. Lord He will take care of catching the murderer, and mother is at home, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Jiang Rongqing waved his hand and wanted to send Feng away first.
"Father, where is my mother?"
At this time, a somewhat immature voice sounded at the door. Feng looked up and tears suddenly burst out. She had been back for so long, and only her son heard that she was back and came to look for her so anxiously.
In Mo Chunyuan, the west wing was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zan'er was holding a basin of water and was about to lift the curtain to enter the room. Before she could stand firmly, she saw Xuezhi running out with a look of horror on her face.
The two of them bumped into each other, and the copper basin fell to the ground with a clang, spilling water all over the floor. Xuezhi didn't care about anything else and gestured helplessly. It was obvious that something big had happened.
Seeing that she was so frightened that she couldn't speak, Zan'er took two or three steps into the inner room and saw Jiang Yushu's eyes rolled up, her face ferocious, and bright red blood dripping from the corner of her mouth... "Ah!"
A terrified scream echoed above the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, and the news soon reached the front yard.
Jiang Mingzhi was asking He Zian if there was any progress in the matter of the frightened horse. She certainly knew that it was done by the people from Fude Pawnshop, but since Jiang Yushu had done such a thing, she would not pretend that nothing had happened. She had already asked Song Shan to make arrangements. If He Zian's people continued to investigate, the matter would eventually fall on Jiang Yushu alone.
This is the price she should bear. Jiang Mingzhi is never one to suffer in silence. She thinks she has treated Jiang Yushu well, but she repays herself like this. Don't blame her for being rude.
He Zian was silent for a moment before nodding. This answer was within her expectations. He Zian himself had some talent. If this matter could not be solved in time, he would have no need to be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
Seeing his heavy face, Jiang Mingzhi knew that he must be a little concerned about Jiang Yushu's identity, so he was still considering how to minimize the impact of this matter.
There is nothing to be afraid of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion now, but the Jinyi Marquis Mansion is a relative of the Wang family. If the matter gets out of hand, let alone justice, the Wang family may take action and innocent people may be pushed out as scapegoats. He, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, will also be in danger. Jiang Mingzhi understands He Zian's thoughts very well.
