“Ah…ah…ah…help…someone come…”
Inside the house, Jiang Wanmeng, her master and her servant were screaming in agony. Outside, the maids, old women and servants of the Mu Mansion were stopped outside the yard to watch the excitement. Some of them were so carefree that they even took out a handful of melon seeds to eat.
When Jingyu and Lord Pei, who had been standing outside the yard for a long time, finally arrived, Jiang Wanmeng's face was covered with scratches, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn.
The already small house was in a mess. Tables, chairs and benches were all over the floor, teacups were broken everywhere, and there were even a lot of hair and rags that had fallen from Jiang Wanmeng, her master and her servant scattered on the floor.
This scene left Jingyu and Lord Pei dumbfounded. This was even worse than being attacked by bandits!
Jiang Wanmeng was beaten and huddled in a corner. Seeing Master Pei, she naively thought that the servants had reported him to the authorities, and stumbled towards him, "Master Pei, save me! They suddenly rushed in and attacked me without a word. Quick, arrest them all and throw them all in jail."
Master Pei smiled and had her helped up. He then said, "Madam Mu, you are suspected of being involved in the case of the Duke Zhao's wife's horse going berserk and frightened. Please come with us and take charge of the investigation!"
As he said this, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to come forward and take away the two maids, Zhuqing and Meihong, who were still surrounded in the corner by the maids.
When Jiang Wanmeng heard that they were here to arrest her, she subconsciously pushed away the person who was supporting her and stepped back. "You, what rights do you have to arrest me? What evidence do you have?"
"Hey~ You still dare to quibble? We heard it clearly at the door just now. Do you want to be beaten?" Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Wu Yufei picked up the whip and pretended to whip her.
Jiang Wanmeng was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Master Pei, stiffening her neck and saying stubbornly, "What did you hear? We are all your people here, so you have the final say. If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."
"You..." Seeing Wu Yufei was about to step forward, Song Zhiyun hurriedly held her back, "Yufei, the law is strict and there is no loophole. Lord Pei is here. He will make the final decision on what is right and what is wrong. Let professionals handle professional matters! I believe Lord Pei will definitely make the truth known. All we have to do is watch as certain people get their comeuppance."
If Mu Chenke investigates what they did today, he can sue them for trespassing. Now that Lord Pei is here, they must not act recklessly again, otherwise even their reasonableness will become unreasonable.
"Lord Song is indeed a good parent. Miss Song is worthy of being a model of a noble lady!" Lord Pei smiled and complimented Song Zhiyun as usual, then looked at Jiang Wanmeng.
"In that case, please accompany me, Madam Mu! Don't worry, I will have someone notify Commander Mu and will not let you have an awkward moment to explain to him."
After that! He raised his hand and waved it. Regardless of Jiang Wanmeng's struggle, the two men forcibly took her away.
The real owner had left, so there was no point in Qin Yalan and the others staying. They smashed things in the other person's house and didn't try to deny it.
He asked the steward of the Mu Mansion to come over, count the damaged items, and compensate him with silver on the spot before leaving.
In the palace, as soon as An Yichen and Xiao Chen heard that something had happened to Tian An, they immediately went into the palace without even entering the mansion gate.
When they heard that Tian An had a miscarriage, the four of them immediately blamed themselves.
Gu Jinyan and Zuo Yunshu stood by Tian An's bed with tears in their eyes. Looking at the unconscious Tian An, they felt regretful: "An An must have been terrified at the time. It's all our fault. How could we really let her go back alone!"
"Yes! We should have sent An An back together. If we had sent An An back together, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."
An Yichen and Xiao Chen are men, so it is not convenient for them to go directly into the inner room to visit Tian An. They can only stay outside and ask Zhao Yiming about Tian An's situation.
"It's all my fault. I should have insisted on sending An An back personally." An Yichen really wanted to slap himself. If something happened to Tian An because of this, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Xiao Chen stood in front of Zhao Yiming with a hammer on his head, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of my cousin's wife, give me a couple of punches to vent your anger!"
Zhao Yiming sighed, stepped forward and patted the two men on the shoulders, "This is not your fault. The most urgent thing is to find out the truth of the matter first."
"The truth? What do you mean? Are you saying that this was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose?" An Yichen and Xiao Chen looked at each other.
They went into the palace as soon as they received the news, but they didn't know as much as Wu Hongjing and the others.
Fortunately, not long after, the emperor sent someone to summon them to the imperial study.
When the three of them arrived, Lord Pei had already arrived, and standing next to him was Mu Chenke, and Jiang Wanmeng, who was kneeling on the ground like a mad woman.
As soon as Zhao Yiming came in, Mu Chenke took the initiative to walk up to him, bowed and made an apology, "Duke Zhao, I'm sorry, your wife's horse went crazy and was frightened. After investigation, it was confirmed that it was all caused by my lowly wife who is not good enough to carry a bucket.
This vicious woman is so mad and vicious that she dared to openly murder the Duke's wife. I am truly ashamed of my inability to discipline her. No matter what the Duke of Zhao asks, I will not hesitate.
"What? Jiang Wanmeng did this?" Xiao Chen was shocked. He took two steps forward and glared at Jiang Wanmeng, who was kneeling and trembling on the ground. "Are you really crazy? My cousin's wife is still pregnant! How can you be so vicious?"
An Yichen was also furious. He had thought it was an accident, but he hadn't expected it to be man-made. "As a woman, you should be able to empathize with me. Why did you want to murder my cousin like this?"
Zhao Yiming clenched and unclenched his fists, and it took him a long time to control himself from kicking the man away in front of the emperor.
"Why did you do this?"
"explain!"
Zhao Yiming couldn't control himself in the end and yelled out. God knows how scared he was. It was almost like that. If he had come back a little later, he might have lost the two people he loved most and was closest to in his life.
It was all this woman's fault, this damned woman. If he wasn't in front of the emperor at this moment, he would have wanted to cut this vicious woman into pieces.
Jiang Wanmeng was so frightened by Zhao Yiming's shout that she burst into tears, but she did not repent at all and looked at Zhao Yiming with a pitiful look.
"Brother Mingyu, how can you blame me? If you want to blame someone, blame that bitch Tian An. I'm obviously supposed to be your wife. The Queen Mother is about to issue an imperial decree to marry us.
She was the one who stole you and the position that should have belonged to me. She deserves to die. She deserves to die.
And there's the child in her belly. How can a lowly person like her be worthy of giving birth to your child? I want that lowly bastard and his lowly mother to go to hell together.
Now that they are all dead, no one can stop me from marrying Brother Mingyu.
"Brother Mingyu, could you please ask the emperor to grant us a marriage?" Jiang Wanmeng thought Tian An was dead and looked at Zhao Yiming with hope.
Everyone present was dumbfounded by her shock.
There was only one thought in my mind, "This Jiang Wanmeng is either crazy or stupid."
