Hearing Shen Yubai's words, Jiang Huaizhu seemed to lose strength all of a sudden and almost fell back into the water.
Even Jiang Xiancao was a little surprised when he heard it.
That day, Jiang Huaizhu framed her by threatening to drown her. Because everything happened so suddenly, she only had time to see Jiang Huaizhu jump into the water. The two maids shouted that she was the one who pushed Jiang Huaizhu into the water. In her haste, she didn't see how Jiang Huaizhu got to the center of the lake, and Shen Tingsi arrived in time.
She later realized that all this was planned by Jiang Huaizhu, but she didn't expect that Jiang Huaizhu had taken the water-repellent pill in advance.
No wonder Jiang Huaizhu dared to gamble with her body even though she was not familiar with swimming. It turned out that she had made full preparations from the beginning and knew that her life would not be in danger!
"The water-repellent pill can allow a person who is not good at swimming to temporarily hold their breath and not drown in water for even a cup of tea."
Shen Yubai's tone was cold and mocking:
"That day, you calculated the time perfectly, having Madam Li use an excuse to invite the Ninth Prince to the Orchid Garden. This was just the right time for him to witness the terrifying scene of you drowning and desperately begging for help. Meanwhile, the two maids under your command were shouting on the shore, saying it was Second Miss Jiang who pushed you into the water.
When the Ninth Prince saw this scene, he naturally jumped into the water without hesitation to save you, and he firmly believed that it was Miss Jiang who pushed you into the water.
But he didn't know that you took the water-repellent pill and jumped into the lake, deliberately swimming to the center of the lake, pretending to be drowning and dying miserably, just to win his sympathy and make him hate Miss Jiang Er, the "culprit" even more in anger.
Miss Jiang, do you have anything else to say about this?"
Jiang Huaizhu bit her lip and said nothing.
Jiang Jinyan, who was stopped by the Imperial City Guards, shouted:
"You said Zhu'er had used the Water Repellent Pill in advance. Did you also get that testimony from Imperial Physician Wang? Imperial Physician Wang was bribed by the Ninth Prince a long time ago. His testimony is all false. Your Highness Prince Zhan must not trust him!"
Hearing this, Shen Yubai raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly:
"Master Jiang has misunderstood. I did not learn this from Doctor Wang. It was your fourth brother who gave your sister Zhu'er the water-repellent pill."
He then looked at Jiang Jinan:
"You have the habit of keeping a diary when making medicine. You remember exactly what medicine you made every day, how many pills you put into the warehouse, how many you took out and used, and on which patients they were used.
But just now, my men went to check the warehouse where you store medicine and found that there was only one item that didn't match the log, and that was the number of water-repellent pills.
My subordinates then interrogated the servant who was in charge of guarding the warehouse. Unable to bear the torture, he confessed that Miss Jiang had come to the warehouse ten days ago, and one of the water-repellent pills was missing after she left.
That servant has a good memory. He also said that when you came to the warehouse to check and found that the water-repellent pills were missing, he told you that it was probably stolen by Miss Jiang. Not only did you not confront Miss Jiang, you also ordered him not to tell anyone about this, otherwise he would make his family suffer."
Jiang Jinyan was stunned and turned his head to look at the pale Jiang Jinan:
"Jin'an, is this true?"
Jiang Jinan's head almost dropped to the ground, and he was speechless for a long time.
Jiang Huaizhu did take a water-repellent pill from him.
He also knew what she did with the water-repellent pill, but he had always kept it a secret for her, thinking that she had guessed that Jiang Xiancao was going to push her into the water and had made preparations in advance.
He thought Jiang Huaizhu had no bad intentions, she just wanted to teach Jiang Xiancao, who had always been jealous of her, a lesson.
Is it true that Jiang Xiancao is allowed to harm others but not to retaliate? What could she have done wrong?
Even at this point, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu'er.
But the evidence and testimony against Zhu'er piled up one after another, and the evidence was so overwhelming that he knew that no matter how much he argued, it would be useless.
Seeing him silent, Jiang Jinyan was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at him and cursed:
"You think you're helping Pearl? You're hurting her by doing this!"
Jiang Jinan raised his head suddenly, his eyes red as he said:
"Brother, why are you criticizing me? Aren't you right?
You keep saying you can deal with the Ninth Prince, but now not only has the Ninth Prince turned against us, but even His Royal Highness Prince Zhan and the Imperial City Bureau are joining forces to attack us! At this point, how can you still ensure Zhu'er's safety? "
Jiang Jinyan widened his eyes, and was so angry that he raised his fist and punched him in the face.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinxing and others hurried over to pull him away.
On the side, Jiang Xiancao watched the brothers fighting with cold eyes, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Shen Tingsi took advantage of this opportunity to walk to her side and whispered in her ear:
"The drowning case has been investigated, and you've let out your anger. Stop it now and stop messing around!"
Jiang Xiancao turned her head and looked at him coldly, "Second Miss Jiang, please be aware of your status. It is not your turn to dictate what the king wants to do."
Shen Tingsi was choked by her and said angrily:
"After all, the ancestors of the Wen Ning Marquisate were founding heroes. The Jiang family has been able to stand for a hundred years without falling, and their family wealth is deeper than you can imagine. My father is now very dependent on the Wen Ning Marquis, and it is impossible for him to let the Wen Ning Marquisate lose face because of a dispute between two women in the harem.
Jiang Jinyan went to ask the Crown Prince again. Father always listens to the Crown Prince. Believe it or not, an imperial edict will be delivered from the palace soon!
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Sun's voice came:
"The imperial edict has arrived—"
Except for Shen Yubai and Jiang Xiancao, everyone else knelt down quickly.
Eunuch Sun swept his eyes over the crowd, then spread out the imperial edict and said in a long tone:
"The Emperor has ordered that, in view of the incompetence of the Marquis Wenning's family in educating their daughter, the Empress Dowager's decree granting the marriage be revoked, and the marriage between the Ninth Prince and the daughter of the Jiang family be cancelled.
