Chapter 828 Your master is aiding and abetting evil!
"It's a long story. Can I have a word with you for a moment?"
Jiang Wan didn't want to discuss private matters in front of so many people. Madam Luo thought about it and decided to invite them to the second floor of the shop.
The second floor of this embroidery shop has a special area for distinguished guests to choose patterns, and Madam Luo has reserved a private room there.
The group followed them in, and Madam Luo asked Jiang Wan anxiously:
"Girl, is something wrong with my sister?"
She was extremely anxious, and judging from her expression, she really treated Mother Fu as her own sister.
Jiang Wan hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Madam Shopkeeper, not only is she fine, she has also found her daughter."
"real?"
Mrs. Luo's eyes lit up with excitement. Her sister's daughter was lost when she came to visit her family.
She felt guilty about this for many years, and if she could find her niece, she would be able to forgive herself.
But then her eyes fell on Jiang Wan's face. Could this be her lost niece?
But she has nothing in common with her sister. Could she be lying?
On the contrary, he is somewhat similar to that person.
Perhaps he saw what she was thinking, Jiang Wan explained helplessly, "It's not me.
Her daughter and I have some connection, so I was able to get the handkerchief from her hand."
"So that's it."
Madam Luo breathed a sigh of relief but was still a little wary of her. Jiang Wan could only explain the relationship between them and Fuling.
After saying this, Madam Luo really let down her guard and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, but I was stabbed in the back while doing business, so I'm a little scared."
"No problem."
Jiang Wan didn't mind. Madam Luo invited everyone to have tea and snacks. Mu Xiang saw that Jiang Wan was conflicted.
She stood up and said, "Godfather, I want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?"
"good."
Doctor Yan had no intention of knowing Jiang Wan's private affairs, so he took Muxiang and left the embroidery shop.
Even Cheng Jin found an excuse to go to the first floor to choose ready-made clothes.
Only Song Jiuyuan stayed to accompany Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan took out the embroidery from her sleeve and asked, "Madam Shopkeeper, is this from your embroidery shop?"
It has to be said that at this moment, Jiang Wan felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
She was afraid that he would forget her and his mother while he was still alive.
I was also afraid that he was no longer alive.
Mrs. Luo took the embroidery and her face changed the next second, "Miss, this thing is not from our embroidery shop."
She actually denied it outright.
It seems there is some unspeakable relationship between them.
Jiang Wan thought of Fu's mother's affirmative look and said, "But your sister said it was indeed from your embroidery shop."
Mrs. Luo: ...
Although she was helpless, she could not escape and could only say, "Yes, but this embroidery is from many years ago."
"Since you admit that it belongs to your embroidery shop, then you also know who it is for, right?"
Jiang Wan's eyes turned cold. Madam Luo's expression just now told her that she knew something about what happened back then.
Otherwise his expression wouldn’t have changed so drastically!
"Madam Luo, I hope you can tell the truth. This is related to a murder case in the imperial court!"
Song Jiuyuan took out the token and placed it on the table. Madam Luo could read and clearly saw the word "war" on the token.
She was so scared that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
"I say."
Madam Luo looked at Jiang Wan in horror, "What do you want to know, young lady?"
"What did that person want you to do? Did you know that helping her murder an official is a capital crime?"
Jiang Wan went straight to the point. Since Madam Luo knew about this embroidery, she must know something about what happened back then.
Sure enough, Madam Luo's expression became even uglier, but she didn't dare to lie in front of Song Jiuyuan.
He could only hang his head and say in fear: "I don't know, I really didn't know that was Minister Jiang!"
Madam Luo recounted the events of that year.
She and Mrs. Jiang were not familiar with each other, and they had never even met each other. She knew this person because of her master.
The master once worked as an embroiderer in Kyoto. I don’t know why she returned to Yangzhou and opened such a shop.
Madam Luo knew that the two of them occasionally exchanged letters, but she never expected that one day there would be another person arriving along with the letters.
Mrs. Jiang only said that her cousin was sick and asked the master to help look after him.
The master has always thought so!
Until one day the embroidery shop caught fire and the man disappeared.
The master felt uneasy and wrote a letter to Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang scolded her severely and asked her to find someone quickly.
Later, the man was found, but his legs were injured. The master was afraid of being punished, so he caught a cold and died.
The master told her about this before he died, but she did not tell Madam Jiang, so Madam Jiang did not know whether the man was alive or dead.
She didn't want to contact the person who caused her master's death, so the two sides cut off contact.
It was not until a few days ago that she saw the government's notice that the Jiang family was in trouble and Mrs. Jiang helped the criminals to murder an official of the court.
She was so frightened that she didn't dare to mention what happened that year.
"He's not dead?"
Jiang Wan stared at her with scorching eyes, which made Mrs. Luo's scalp tingle.
"yes."
"Since you knew he was an official appointed by the imperial court, why didn't you let him return to the capital after seeing the government notice?"
Jiang Wan's sharp eyes fell on Madam Luo's face, and Madam Luo broke down and cried.
"He...he's not in good condition right now. I don't dare..."
She looked at Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan in horror, "My lords.
I really didn't know that he was an official appointed by the imperial court. When he was sent here, he was half dead.
I was still young, and my master asked me to take care of him. My master has passed away now, and I hope you will not blame him.
And we didn’t cause the fire on purpose! After injuring his legs and feet, my master felt really guilty.”
"Your master is aiding and abetting evil!"
Jiang Wan was in a complicated mood. If this was done by the person in front of her, she would have made things difficult for her.
Unfortunately, this matter was agreed to by Master Luo, and now the person is no longer around, so even if we want to hold him accountable, we can't find him.
"What is the relationship between your master and that Madam Jiang?"
Jiang Wan couldn't help herself. What kind of relationship could make her help her without asking why?
"yes……"
Mrs. Luo was a little embarrassed to speak, and facing Song Jiuyuan's cold eyes, she said hesitantly:
"She is the daughter of my master's beloved."
Jiang Wan: ...
This relationship is indeed complicated enough.
"My master is just an embroiderer in Kyoto, but she has a wife, and my master has a strong personality.
I didn’t want to be that man’s concubine, and his family didn’t allow my master to marry me, so my master never married, but he kept in contact with that man through letters.”
Madam Luo pursed her lips, not thinking it was a shame that her master liked someone else.
Instead, he felt that what she did for the daughter of her beloved was not right.
"Has Madam Jiang been here since she sent the person here?"
Jiang Wan was in a very complicated mood and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's fate after all.
"No."
Mrs. Luo said with certainty: "Mrs. Jiang has never been to Yangzhou.
She corresponded with my master because my master once taught her embroidery skills.
She only sent people to give gifts to the master during festivals, and the master was as happy as a child every time he received them. "
The master had no children in his life and treated the girl as half a daughter, but the girl avoided her like the plague.
