Chapter 160 Secret Message
Jiang Qingning's eyes lit up with interest. Although Xun Chen had been under her investigation, the secret now before her was too secret to pass up.
"How did you survive after learning Xun Chen's secret?" Jiang Qingning asked.
Since investigating Xun Chen, she has found out some secrets about him and his methods, and she knows completely that this man is not the bright and handsome man he has portrayed himself to be in the past few decades.
Xun Chen is an out-and-out executioner.
Jiang Ruyi looked at her quietly with a peaceful smile on her face.
Jiang Qingning thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of a reason.
"I eliminated one person for him, so naturally he was happy to make a deal with me."
Jiang Ruyi was a little anxious, and spoke with great difficulty: "Jiang Qingning, are you... willing to cooperate with me?"
"Don't think I don't know. My health is inseparable from you! Bai Qingyi must have been tricked by you to drug me, right? You were the one who provoked her to poison me!"
"No."
"I provoked her to poison you. Before that, it had nothing to do with me. I simply wanted you to die together."
"For Xun Moli?"
"For myself."
Jiang Qingning lowered her eyes. Bai Qingyi had tortured her a lot over the years. All the suffering she had endured in the Anping Marquis' Mansion was caused by Bai Qingyi.
She had escaped death, and as long as she was alive, Bai Qingyi couldn't escape unscathed. She had to pay the price.
"My marriage to Xun Chen went so smoothly. Was it also your doing?"
Jiang Ruyi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled sarcastically.
Ever since she entered the Anping Marquis' Mansion, she realized how strict the rules of the Anping Marquis' Mansion were in the hands of Xun Chen. But she just happened to be able to bribe the nanny and the maid to drug Xun Chen.
And the fact that Bai Qingyi could come and become Xun Chen’s woman was also due to Jiang Qingning’s contribution.
"How many people do you have in the Anping Marquis's Mansion?"
"Words are useless. Where's the evidence?" Jiang Qingning asked proudly.
Besides, even if she has been helping him all along, what does it matter? What if she wants Xun Chen to be discredited and have to endure bit by bit what she had endured back then?
These are the retributions Xun Chen deserves, and they are the retributions for Jiang Ruyi, Bai Qingyi, and the old lady of Anping.
"Xun Chen is gone, what will happen to your son?"
"How can I continue to raise a son who has been unfilial since childhood as my own?" Being able to find an ordinary family for him was already a good deed for Jiang Qingning.
Jiang Ruyi finally gave up, but she was unwilling to accept it. Her child An'er could not be left without anyone to take care of him.
"If Xun Chen can't escape, then the Jiang family can't escape either..."
Jiang Qingning smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Jiang Qingning, I hate you so much."
Jiang Ruyi stared at her intently, his eyes filled with resentment. "I have hated you since I was a child. Why are all good fathers, good mothers, good brothers and good sisters yours? Even Xun had you in his heart..."
Her voice was intermittent, but every word was tearful and full of jealousy: "My father is a gambler, my brother is a loser, they have ruined the Jiang family, I have nothing and can only rely on myself to fight and rob..."
"I tried my best to please my grandmother and the Xun family, and finally became the wife of the Earl's Mansion, but in the end, it was all in vain."
She gasped violently, her eyes filled with despair. "I got nothing. I can't even keep this child."
"Jiang Qingning, how can you still be innocent and still be able to climb up to the Prince of Zhenbei? Why? I won't accept it! I won't accept it!"
"I want to make a deal with you. I want my son to live well. I'm different from those Jiang family members. I'm a good mother and I love my child!"
Jiang Ruyi screamed at the top of her lungs, she was determined to save her child's life, but Xun Chen was hated by Jiang Qingning, and the Jiang family's future was definitely not guaranteed.
She could only beg the woman she used to look down upon the most.
Jiang Qingning looked at her coldly: "Jiang Ruyi, your pride does not allow you to beg for mercy like me. Do I have any intention of raising a child for my enemy?"
"If you don't want to talk, I won't force you. After all, I'm no longer the Jiang Qingning who could be manipulated by anyone. Your wishful thinking was wrong from the beginning."
"You're on your own."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Qingning turned around and walked out the door without hesitation.
Even though she wanted to know Xun Chen's secret, she had no intention of exchanging it with her enemy.
"Even if it was because of him that my uncle and cousin were banished to Lingnan, don't you have any hesitation or hatred?"
Jiang Ruyi became anxious and struggled to get up from the bed, whispering in the direction of Jiang Qingning.
"I've known about this for a long time."
Jiang Qingning glanced sideways and sneered.
"besides!"
Jiang Ruyi gritted her teeth. She had seen through Jiang Qingning's attitude. She was really not joking. This woman was much more cruel than she thought.
"I overheard outside his study that Xun Chen and Wei Zhai, the posthumous son of the former deposed crown prince, have begun exchanging letters. They intend to...rebel."
Jiang Ruyi whispered, with hatred surging in her eyes. Since she couldn't protect her son, let Xun Chen pay for the lives of both mother and son!
Treason is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family, no one can escape it!
Jiang Qingning paused, his eyes flickering, and he turned to look at Jiang Ruyi: "Why should I believe you?"
Jiang Ruyi sat back and smiled with tears in her eyes: "In the second drawer of my dressing table, there is a secret letter I stole. It contains information about their conversation. You will know it at a glance."
"Put aside your last bit of doubt. I am a dying man, and my hatred for Xun Chen's inaction is far greater than yours."
Jiang Qingning walked towards the dressing table in silence, and took out a thick envelope as she said. It seemed that Xun Chen had contacted them several months ago.
"I believe you." Jiang Qingning replied.
But seeing the hope in the other's eyes, he still said: "But I won't help you protect your son. You and Xun Chen's child have no affection for me."
After all, his parents were people he hated deeply.
"I would be satisfied if he could die with me."
Jiang Ruyi watched Jiang Qingning put the envelope away. She was dazed for a moment, then stretched out her hand toward the window and said with a silly smile, "Jiang Qingning, I won't accept this, I won't accept this..."
When Jiang Ruyi uttered the last word "heart", it seemed as if all her life had been exhausted.
Jiang Ruyi's eyes, which were wide open and filled with endless resentment, instantly lost all their luster. Her arms drooped and hit the edge of the bed heavily.
Die with eyes open.
With a squeak.
Jiang Qingning opened the door from the inside, walked out with an indifferent expression, and said to He Ning: "It's okay, let's go."
The faces of the people present all looked a little bad, and they walked quickly into the room.
"Ruyi! My son!" Mrs. Jiang threw herself on her daughter and cried heart-wrenchingly.
