Chapter 799 It turns out that my sister was asking for help
"yes."
General Xu looked nostalgic, "At that time, I was surprised that your mother always liked to give us money.
You were afraid that we wouldn't have enough food and clothing at the border, so why did you suddenly send us such a good dagger?
Not long after I received this dagger, I received the news that your mother had passed away. Every time I saw the dagger, I was heartbroken. Your aunt kept it.
It was not until several years later, when I had calmed down, that your aunt returned the dagger to me."
"Uncle, did my mother write a letter when she gave you this dagger?"
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly remembered her fake father's confession. Her mother had discovered that something was wrong with her father and might even have replaced him.
He intercepted his mother's correspondence with the outside world, so there must be a meaning behind his mother giving him this dagger.
"I wrote it. It's just a normal greeting."
General Xu didn't know why Jiang Wan was so excited, so Song Jiuyuan explained the confession he got from the interrogation.
Even though Jiang Wan had already written a letter to tell her uncle, she didn't include so many details, so General Xu frowned.
"Wanwan, do you mean that this dagger might be your mother asking us for help?"
"yes."
Jiang Wan held the dagger and observed it carefully, rubbing every detail of the dagger with her fingertips.
Then nothing was found.
General Xu sighed, "I wipe this dagger often, and I didn't notice anything wrong."
If my sister had really asked for help at that time, he would have deserved to die!
"This gem."
Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the bright red gem, "This doesn't seem like my mother's style."
"Your mother did say the gems were too bright before she got married."
As soon as General Xu finished speaking, Jiang Wan realized something was wrong, and she picked up the sword that Song Jiuyuan had on his waist.
The tip of the sword was pointed at the gem. General Xu was shocked. "Wanwan, if you take down the gem, this dagger will be ruined."
"I know."
A hint of reluctance flashed across Jiang Wan's eyes, and Song Jiuyuan held her hand.
"Wanwan, just do what you want. Even if it gets damaged, I can find someone to repair it for you."
"Thanks."
Jiang Wan felt warm in her heart. This man always made her feel warm at critical moments.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan raised his sword and pried the gem off.
Then everyone caught a glimpse of a tiny piece of paper hidden under the gem, and General Xu's pupils shrank.
"There really is a letter here that my sister wrote to me!"
His face was filled with pain and regret. If he had discovered it earlier, might he still have been able to save his sister?
Jiang Wan had already picked up the note. It was blank with nothing written on it.
But this note has been specially treated, and after so many years, it has not corrupted or rotted, and it even looks like new.
"I have some medicine in my room. I'll take it back and wash it with it."
In fact, Jiang Wan had it in her space, but she couldn’t take it out in front of them.
She couldn't wait to know what her mother wrote to her uncle, so she ran very fast.
General Xu looked at her back, his eyes red. Song Jiuyuan couldn't bear to see his elder sad, so he advised him unskillfully:
"Uncle, don't blame yourself too much. That fake guy is very strict. If Wan Wan's mother hadn't been more careful, she wouldn't have been able to protect Wan Wan."
"I know, but I'm still sad."
General Xu wiped away his tears and said, "If I had been more careful at the beginning, maybe..."
"Let's see what my mother wrote."
Jiang Wan came over with a bottle of potion and asked Song Jiuyuan to light the candle, while she carefully smeared the potion on the note.
Then he passed the paper soaked in the potion over the candlelight, and soon small black words appeared.
Only after all the words were revealed did Jiang Wan spread the note flat on the table.
When General Xu saw his sister's handwriting, even though he was a grown man, he couldn't help crying on the spot.
"Sister, it is your brother who is sorry for you."
"She did tell me about her suspicions and said she approached her grandmother but she told her to keep it a secret."
Jiang Wan's eyes were blurred with tears, and tears fell one by one. How painful it must be for her mother to know that the man who slept in the same bed with her had changed.
"It was your uncle who failed to rescue your mother in time."
After many years, General Xu discovered for the first time that his sister had already sent him a distress signal and even wrote down the whole story in her heart.
It was him, he was not careful enough.
"Uncle, I don't blame you."
Jiang Wan wiped her tears and comforted General Xu, "This handwriting is a little messier than my mother's usual letters.
I think this was written by my mother in a state of desperation, and it says that I was bedridden and feeling very uncomfortable.
My mother passed away not long after this happened. I think my mother had passed away before this letter reached my uncle."
Even if he found out, General Xu couldn't save her mother. The most he could do was avenge her in advance.
She always remembered that the original owner's mother only got one antidote, but saved the original owner and died heroically.
"Wanwan, please don't comfort me."
General Xu seemed to have aged several years in an instant. He sighed deeply, "It's a pity that I didn't avenge your mother myself."
"As long as the enemy is dead, it doesn't matter who takes revenge."
Jiang Wan was afraid of bringing up General Xu's sad memories, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "I really need the prince to help me repair this dagger."
"Don't worry, it will be restored to its original state."
Song Jiuyuan had been standing beside Jiang Wan to comfort her, fearing that she was too sad. Jiang Wan was indeed feeling a little depressed.
However, so many years have passed since the incident, and the truth has been found out in Kyoto before, so she is slower than General Xu.
"Wanwan, uncle is a little tired, let's take a rest first."
General Xu didn't look well. Jiang Wan wanted to say a few more words but was persuaded by Song Jiuyuan.
"Wanwan, please let your uncle calm down. He needs to figure this out on his own."
"Um."
Jiang Wan was in a bad mood while eating and ate casually. Song Er kept hanging around in front of them.
Song Yi went to accompany Mu Xiang to collect herbs. This guy collected herbs during the day and came back to try cases at night. He was full of energy.
The people who should be arrested have been arrested, and the items and money that should be recovered have also been recovered. Song Jiuyuan wrote a memorial closing the case and planned to have General Xu bring them back to Kyoto and hand them over to the emperor.
Jiang Wan did not disturb him. When the two finished their work, it was already evening. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan returned to the inn.
After being busy for so long, Song Jiuyuan couldn't stand the smell on his body, so he and Jiang Wan went back to their rooms to wash up.
Just after finishing washing up, Jiang Wan heard knocks on the door. She was a little anxious, so she quickly put on her coat and opened the door, only to meet Muxiang's anxious little face.
"Master, hurry up and save people."
"Where are the people?"
Jiang Wan didn't ask any more questions. She quickly went back to her room, got the medical kit, and followed Mu Xiang.
Muxiang took her back to her room in the inn. Song Yi was also there. When he saw it was Jiang Wan, he hurriedly explained.
"Princess, this is a man we met when we were collecting herbs in the mountains. He was bitten by a snake, and Mu Xiang has already treated him simply."
Jiang Wan's eyes fell on the person on the couch, then she paused, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.
