Chapter 282 Aunt's Counterattack
"My aunt taught me. She did all these things. I just helped her meet Lu Bin. I didn't know what it meant. I just went to give Lu Bin something. I didn't even know what was in the bag!"
Jiang Nuannuan decided to sacrifice Jiang Caiyan to protect her father.
"Your aunt?"
"Jiang Caiyan?"
"That's right, Your Highness! It has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me."
"Jiang Caiyan has never been in Beijing, why would she do this?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe she's helping me. You can go call her over and ask her. I really don't know anything else."
"Your Highness, there is something fishy about this matter. I'm afraid..." Song Lin said to Yuwen Zhao.
"It has nothing to do with my father! My father is fighting on the front line, how could he be involved in these things?" Jiang Nuannuan knelt down and begged.
"Yes, it is related to General Yongqi. Something happened in Lianxing Pavilion, and he wanted to put the blame on the Marquis, so he did this." Wei Zhuo, who had been silent, spoke up.
Wei Zhuo said, "I have been with Marquis Cheng'an for ten years. During the construction of Lianxing Pavilion, the Marquis met General Yongqi more than once. Several relatives of the general's family entered the Ministry of Works through Marquis Cheng'an."
"You're talking nonsense! My dad meets so many people every year, could it all be related to this matter?" Jiang Nuannuan retorted.
Wei Zhuo took out a booklet. He had a problem, which was that he was too meticulous and liked to remember everything. He wrote down everything, word for word, about who the Marquis met, what he did, and what he said.
He even bought a small house specifically to store these books.
"Whether they were discussing the matter of Lianxing Pavilion or not, the Marquis is dead now, and my statement is indeed just one side of the story. But I believe we can find out by checking at General Yongqi's Mansion," Wei Zhuo replied.
"That's right! We'll know once we check." Song Lin also said.
Yuwen Zhao went to ask for permission.
After hearing this, there was no need to listen further. Feng Aoqing and Han Lang already understood everything.
"Old Five is really good." Feng Aoqing couldn't help but admire him.
At the beginning, the purpose of dealing with Marquis Cheng'an was to bring out the big case of Lianxing Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the matter was over after Marquis Cheng'an died. Neither General Yongqi nor the prince was brought out.
This led to the subsequent bridge fall incident, which once again brought Lianxing Pavilion back into people's attention.
Because Feng Aoqing, who treated his injuries, was on the bridge, and his newly pregnant princess was on the boat, no one suspected him and gave him the opportunity to participate in the investigation.
Everything is just right.
"I'm serious, you can't beat him." The two got in the car, and Feng Aoqing bumped into Han Lang, who was a little drowsy.
"Well, the moment we came back, we were already part of his plan. It was perfect." Han Lang replied.
Feng Aoqing was shocked: "You mean, he lured us back here? He took advantage of the prince's absence, so he was the one who poisoned us..."
"It wasn't him. He wouldn't dirty his hands. The poison was administered by the Left Prime Minister. But why would the Left Prime Minister do this? I think he must have played a significant role. Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother have found us so easily when she sent people to look for us?"
"He knew about our movements long ago and led the three Ying Shen brothers to find me. Moreover, he was the only one who knew my relationship with them. He also knew that I would trust them and bring you back."
"Oh my god!" Feng Aoqing couldn't help but applaud, "Prince Cong is really good at scheming!"
"Let's hurry up and leave! Otherwise he will eat us till there's not even a bone left." Han Lang was a little worried.
"Yes, yes, yes. Ouch, I feel a chill on my back." Feng Aoqing nodded quickly.
"What do you think! Is there someone who is more calculating than you? You even thought about getting others to help kill the boss so that I could get away. Now you know how powerful I am! You almost couldn't get away yourself." Han Lang held her in his arms.
Feng Aoqing then realized that Han Lang had always known it. He knew his fifth brother too well.
But even though she knew this, she was willing to laugh and make noise, so she just accompanied them.
Feng Aoqing hugged his waist tightly, leaning in his arms, feeling very safe: "Anyway, as long as he can kill Yuwen You!"
"He could still kill me!"
"He can't." Feng Aoqing said firmly.
A car passed by their carriage.
"It's Jiang Nuannuan." Feng Aoqing took a look and saw that it was a simple carriage guarded by a team of soldiers.
The windows were just curtains, so Feng Aoqing only saw a hint of goose yellow clothes.
"Well, she won't be killed yet. She should be locked up first. She is a key figure." Han Lang replied.
"You just gave Wei Zhuo away like this and made him a wedding dress for others. It's a pity!"
"Wei Zhuo thinks he's clever. He keeps a record of whoever he works for as a clerk. That room full of books is enough to get him killed eight hundred times. I won't vouch for him, but Lao Wu is willing. They're a perfect match."
"That's right. Keeping him will only bring trouble. Show some sincerity to Lao Wu so that we can get away with it." Feng Aoqing nodded.
Jiang Nuannuan was in a daze. She was brought to a yard. She didn't know whose yard it was.
But this house had been renovated. There was nothing in the room except two mattresses on the floor and the walls were padded. She thought it was probably to prevent her from committing suicide by banging her head against the wall.
She was also fed medicine, which made her whole body weak and powerless, and she had difficulty speaking, let alone biting her tongue.
"Nuannuan." A voice sounded outside the door.
It’s Jiang Caiyan, her aunt.
"Aunt...Aunt...save me..." Jiang Nuannuan said it not very smoothly, but she still said it.
Jiang Caiyan entered the room and looked at the furnishings in the room with a gloomy expression.
"Do you know where this is?"
Jiang Nuannuan shook her head.
"This is where they imprisoned me for three whole months."
Jiang Nuannuan looked at him in surprise.
"I was adopted by the Jiang family. I called Jiang Yeguang brother for more than ten years, but in order to help the crown prince, he wanted to send me to another country as an envoy. I disagreed, so he imprisoned me here. Fearing that I would commit suicide, he gave me this medicine."
Jiang Caiyan clenched her fists.
"I already had a fiancé at that time, and we were in love. Jiang Yeguang asked him to break off the engagement, but he refused to agree. Jiang Yeguang then decided to kill him, and it was Marquis Cheng'an who helped him do this."
Jiang Nuannuan already knew why Jiang Caiyan wanted to help her, because it was not to help her, but to help her get revenge.
"No wonder... you are so happy..." Jiang Nuannuan recalled how happy she looked when they watched the entire Cheng'an Marquis family being executed together.
"You and your father will be together soon, I will be so happy." Jiang Caiyan let out a terrifying laugh from her chest.
When she learned that her fiancé had died "accidentally", she chose to survive because she wanted revenge.
When Yuwen Zhao was on a diplomatic mission, he rescued her in another country, and she became his servant because he promised her that he would avenge her.
