"We'll talk about admitting guilt later. The most important thing now is to find out who drugged her. You should quickly think about what the girl looks like and prepare to cooperate with the painter to draw her portrait." Seeing that the shopkeeper was self-aware, Jingyu was easier to talk to.
Lord Pei immediately called the Dali Temple's dedicated painter and asked the waiter to describe the girl's appearance so that the painter could draw it and they could go and capture her.
"A melon-shaped face, small eyes..." the waiter thought as he spoke.
Fortunately, when he met that person, the other person was not wearing a veil, and because he had exchanged a few words with the other person and not much time had passed, he remembered it quite clearly.
After working with the painter to make some revisions, the portrait was completed in less than two quarters of an hour.
With the portrait, the next step is to find the person and the case will be solved.
It happened that Qin Yalan, Wu Yufei and others heard about Tian An's situation, and found out that Jingyu and Lord Pei had solved the case in the restaurant, so they rushed over.
Jingyu showed the portrait that the painter had just drawn to a few people and asked them to identify whether they knew the person in the portrait.
"That girl once told the waiter that she was accompanying her mistress to dinner. If she wasn't lying, then that clearly shows where she belongs as a maid.
The ladies and young ladies often attend parties, so maybe they can recognize someone."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yalan took the portrait and carefully identified it with Wu Yufei and Wei Lingran.
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before." Qin Yalan said with a frown after looking at the portrait.
Kary Wu also turned around and said, "At least I have seen it recently."
Then, several people took turns looking at the portrait. They all felt that the portrait looked familiar, but they just couldn't remember whose maid this was.
When they attended gatherings on weekdays, their attention was focused on the ladies and daughters of each family, and they didn't really pay much attention to the maids.
However, just when the masters were at a loss, Shaoyao beside Qin Yalan said, "Madam, why don't you let us take a look! We are all maids, so we may have a better impression of her."
Qin Yalan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly handed the portrait to Shaoyao.
Seeing this, Kristy Wu and the others asked their personal maids to come forward to identify the body.
Then, after unanimous confirmation from several maids, the person in the portrait was Qingzhu, the former legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, the wife of Mu Chenke, the current commander of the Imperial Guards, and one of Jiang Wanmeng's personal maids.
After the maids pointed it out, Qin Yalan and the others also remembered, "No wonder it feels like I haven't seen this person for a long time. I can't even remember her. Jiang Wanmeng has rarely attended banquets since she got married. Without her, the maids feel even more unfamiliar with her."
"Qingzhu is Jiang Wanmeng's maid. This must have been ordered by Jiang Wanmeng. This bitch actually dared to harm my sister An An. I will skin her alive right now." The hot-tempered Wu Yufei rolled up her sleeves and was about to go find Jiang Wanmeng to fight.
Even the usually good-tempered Song Zhiyun was furious and threatened that she would not be let off like this. "They didn't even let a pregnant woman go. Such a vicious person will not be tolerated."
Just as Jingyu and Lord Pei were discussing how to arrest the man, several women gathered together to discuss how to teach Jiang Wanmeng a lesson.
Wei Lingran blinked her innocent eyes and offered a bad idea, "Why don't we go and deal with that woman before Lord Pei does? If I don't beat her up myself, I'll feel like I'm letting down Sister An An, whom I've been calling for so long."
I thought I was a bit naive, but I didn't expect that my sisters would unanimously approve of it.
So, while Lord Pei and the others were still asleep, they boarded the carriage and headed to the Mu Mansion without paying any attention to the men behind them.
Wei Bo, the brother who had sent Wei Lingran over, and Song Qian, the brother of Song Zhiyun, were somewhat pedantic. They felt that such behavior was unbecoming of noble ladies. They wanted to stop them, but the eldest and second eldest sons of the Wu family behind them put their hands on their shoulders and said, "Come on, come on, it's been a while. Let's chat for a while."
Wu Hongjing, the third Wu, rode a horse and followed behind the carriage to secretly protect his wife, sister and their two good sisters.
As soon as they left, Master Pei raised his head and said, "Guard Jingyu, let's go too! Walk slowly."
After arriving at the Mu Mansion, Shaoyao went to knock on the door first.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for, do you have an appointment..."
Before the doorman could finish his words, several servants rushed forward and pushed the door open.
"Tell me, where is that vicious woman Jiang Wanmeng?" Wu Yufei lifted the doorman's chin with a whip and asked viciously.
When the doorman heard that they were looking for Jiang Wanmeng, he gave up struggling and said, "Madam is in the west courtyard."
When Kristy Wu heard this, she took the lead and led everyone to the west yard.
Since the doorman did not inform Jiang Wanmeng and her servant, Jiang Wanmeng did not know until Wu Yufei and the others arrived outside the yard.
He was still in the house, squinting his eyes comfortably and enjoying the maid's shoulder massage and leg beating.
That's not to mention, she even dared to insult and curse Tian An without caring about anyone else: "I don't know if that bitch Tian An is dead or not. Even if she isn't, it would be good to get rid of that evil child in her belly."
"Who made her so high-profile? It's not even three months old yet and the whole capital knows about it."
"Tian An! Tian An, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stealing something that doesn't belong to you."
"She's just a cheap, dirt-legged girl from the countryside. How can she be qualified to be the wife of a Duke? Even if she gets this wealth, she has to live to enjoy it!"
Wu Yufei and others outside the door became more and more excited as they listened, and they could no longer bear it and kicked the door open.
"My sister An An is not qualified, do you think you are qualified?"
"You're already married, but you're still dreaming about someone else's husband. A fickle woman like you deserves to be thrown into a pig cage."
"You evil woman, prepare to die!" Wu Yufei took the lead, raised the whip and hit her.
She had no aim, so she just hit whatever she hit. Jiang Wanmeng was also unlucky, as the first whip hit her in the face.
"Ah! Someone is killing someone, someone come, someone come quickly..." Jiang Wanmeng was beaten and immediately started calling for help. The two maids also protected her at the first time.
How could Shaoyao and the others, as personal maids, stand idly by when their mistress wanted to teach someone a lesson? They immediately stepped forward, pulled Qingzhu and another maid aside, and started beating them.
Seeing that no one was protecting Jiang Wanmeng anymore, Qin Yalan rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward. Wu Hongjing had taught her some self-defense skills over the past few days, and this was a good opportunity to test the waters.
Seeing that her sister-in-law had already taken action, Kary Wu put away the whip and prepared to punch her hard.
It was the first time for Wei Lingran and Song Zhiyun to do such a thing, but with Qin Yalan and Wu Yufei demonstrating it before them, they were not afraid at all. They looked at each other, clenched their fists, and stepped forward.
At this point, a one-sided beating began.
