When Jiang Jinyan heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said with reason and evidence:
"Doctor Wang stole the jewelry in secret. As for how he knew where the dressing box was, perhaps he bribed the servant in Zhu'er's room, or he found out through secret observation.
And he just said that Zhu'er dismissed the servants that day, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of. But Zhu'er must have done so because it was his request. Zhu'er did not refuse because she trusted him as the imperial physician, not because she had any shameful intentions.
If that's the case, how can you prove that it was Zhu'er who gave it to him? Unless you were there and saw it with your own eyes, I can't imagine what your so-called evidence could be."
Doctor Wang was stunned with his mouth wide open.
He didn't expect that Jiang Jinyan would turn the evidence pointing to Jiang Huaizhu into something unfavorable to him with just a few words.
After hearing what Jiang Jinyan said, Jiang Huaizhu seemed as innocent as a white lotus!
"Young Master Jiang is truly worthy of being the top scholar in the imperial examination, renowned throughout the capital for his talent and learning. Even his ability to distort truth is remarkable. If the imperial examination hadn't been about essays and policy proposals, but about lying with open eyes, you would have been the top scholar by now, right?"
Jiang Xiancao had a smile on her lips. She knew that what Jiang Jinyan was most proud of was that he had passed the imperial examination with his talent and knowledge, so her attempt to discredit him was also a mockery of the thing he cared about most.
As expected, Jiang Jinyan's face was filled with deep anger. "Your Highness said that I was lying with my eyes open. Please show me the evidence!"
Jiang Jinyi, who was lying on the ground and had not yet recovered his strength, also helped his brother:
"You are the prince, and we, your subjects, respect you, but please also respect yourself! If you continue to insult and abuse my brother like this, I will go before the Emperor and demand an explanation, even if it means sacrificing my position as a Deputy Minister of Justice!"
Jiang Xiancao felt amused when she saw his righteous look.
Jiang San wants to give up his official position, right?
Don't worry, she will slowly help him realize this wish!
"Chao Yue, go and invite the owner and the shop assistants of the medicine shop."
At her command, Chaoyue quickly brought people to Jiang Jinyan and others.
Jiang Jinyan frowned, his face showing impatience, "Who are they? I've never seen them before."
Jiang Xiancao smiled, "Young Master Jiang hasn't seen him, but he has seen your sister."
Jiang Jinyan's face darkened, his voice cold and gloomy:
"Our mansion's medicine is purchased by our steward from designated imperial merchants. Zhu'er is the daughter of the mansion and usually never leaves the house. She would never leave the mansion without the permission of her family elders. It is even more impossible for these people to enter the mansion to see her. How could Zhu'er know them?"
Jiang Xiancao laughed after hearing this. She turned to look at the owner of the medicine shop:
"First tell Mr. Jiang what your relationship with Miss Jiang is."
The owner of the drugstore spoke tremblingly:
"Your Highness, I am Miss Jiang's uncle."
"Uncle?!" Jiang Jinyan's voice suddenly rose, his face full of mockery. "Zhu'er is my sister, our mother is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, and our uncle is Master Chen Lu, the Imperial College's Chief Academician! Who do you think you are? How dare you come and touch the daughter of the Marquis's mansion?"
The owner of the medicine shop shrank back in fear at his aura, but when he met the Ninth Prince's cold eyes, he could only muster up the courage to continue:
"I didn't lie. I am indeed Miss Jiang's biological mother's younger brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Jiang brothers' expressions suddenly changed.
Zhu'er also has a biological mother...
Ever since their mother executed that woman in private, they almost forgot about it!
The owner of the medicine shop didn't know that his sister was dead yet. He raised his hand and wiped his tears and said:
"After my sister disappeared half a year ago, my family was afraid of the Marquis's power. Fearing their wrath, we didn't dare go to the Marquis's mansion to inquire about my sister's whereabouts. We hid in the suburbs and continued our medicinal herb business. Then, Miss Jiang sent someone to find me and secretly gave me some money."
Jiang Jinyan shook his head and said, "Impossible, Zhu'er would never hide it from us and secretly contact such low-class people like you."
The owner of the medicine shop listened to his derogatory words, and his hatred for the Wen Ning Marquisate was rekindled. With the support of the Ninth Prince, he spoke much more boldly:
"Miss Jiang's personal maid is called Bi Cha. She was the one who came looking for me that day. Everyone in the pharmacy saw it!
The maid came and said that the eldest lady was also very sad after knowing about her biological mother. The people in the Marquis' Mansion were actually very harsh to her. In her heart, only those of us who were related by blood were her relatives.
But she couldn't let anyone in the Marquis' Mansion know about this, so she could only help us relatives privately, and she also told me not to tell anyone that her people had been here."
The Jiang brothers' expressions became increasingly ugly, but their gazes remained firm.
They would never believe that the sister they cherished so dearly would be an ungrateful person.
These were all conspiracies of the Ninth Prince. The owner of the drugstore was bribed by the Ninth Prince and deliberately said these unpleasant words in front of them to alienate their relationship with Zhu'er.
Although they didn't know why the Ninth Prince hated Zhu'er so much, they would never be fooled.
"I accepted the money immediately. After that, Bi Cha would come to me every once in a while and ask me for some herbs, saying they were for the young lady's recovery. Just about ten days ago, she came to me again to ask for some rare herbs. Just to buy these herbs, I spent all the money she gave me before, and even paid a lot of it myself.
Everyone, please look, this is the prescription."
As he spoke, the boss took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Chaoyue.
Chaoyue took the prescription and read it aloud.
The names of those medicines were very strange, and they were definitely not commonly used to treat illnesses. However, Doctor Wang immediately called out after hearing them:
