Jiang Yuyao thought that her search for stolen goods was quiet, but she never expected that all of this had already been seen by Madam Jiang and Jiang Songyi.
Jiang Songyi was actually quite surprised.
[Jiang Yuyao's carefully hidden treasures are nowhere to be found. How regrettable!]
But Mrs. Jiang didn't take it seriously. Why did she feel sorry?
Everyone is hoping that the Marquis’ Mansion will be completely ransacked to eliminate future troubles?
She glanced at Jiang Songyi with displeasure, then immediately resumed her dignified demeanor as the old lady of the Marquisate. Her face was solemn and majestic, and her eyes swept sharply towards Ji Ji. "You Jinyiwei have made my mansion a mess, and now you plan to leave like this?"
"Madam, I apologize for the offense."
Ji Ji saluted Madam Jiang with his fists clasped. His tone was still cold but respectful. Although his face did not show much expression, for the Jinyiwei, who were always cold and arrogant and did not even take the royal family seriously, such courtesy was rare.
"Restore it to its original state."
Ji Ji glanced lightly at the Jinyiwei who were accompanying him, and those men immediately took action as quickly as a storm.
They trimmed the branches, cleared the fallen leaves, carefully filled the soil layer, and finally flattened the ground with a shovel, as if it had never been disturbed.
Madam Jiang had only mentioned it casually. After all, she knew the Jinyiwei's style of action well. They had always been about destroying things, rarely about cleaning up the mess. Seeing Ji Ji respect her wishes so much, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised and moved.
Her gaze involuntarily focused on Jiang Songyi.
Previously, although she did not pay special attention to the interaction between Jiang Songyi and Ji Ji, she could still catch some subtle clues through Jiang Songyi's inner fluctuations.
There seems to be some unspeakable deep connection between Song Yi and the new Jinyiwei commander Ji Ji.
Ji Ji stood tall and straight with an icy gaze as he calmly supervised his men to restore the scene to its original state. Afterwards, he planned to inspect other areas at will and then prepare to evacuate and return to the palace to report.
However, at this moment, the Jinyiwei who was in charge of searching the side yard suddenly ran into the main yard in a hurry, holding an item in his hand, and came to report.
"Commander, we found this item in the side yard!"
Ji Ji's eyes flashed slightly, and he waved his hand to signal his men to hand the things over.
He carefully peeled back the red cloth covering the bag, revealing a talisman bag emitting a strange aura. The bag was bulging, and he gently cut it open with his dagger, pulling out a neatly folded document. Unfolding it, he saw densely packed text.
He only took a quick glance and his expression changed drastically in an instant. The content of the text was so shocking!
But precisely because of his extraordinary behavior, Ji Ji became suspicious, as if someone had secretly set a trap and was deliberately framing him.
He suddenly waved the talisman in his hand and pointed it directly in front of Madam Jiang, and asked in a cold tone: "Marquis Yongding, do you have any other explanation?"
In the past, the evidence seized by the Jinyiwei was always taken away directly and presented to the emperor for his personal decision, without giving the parties involved any room for explanation.
Old Madam Jiang knew very well that Ji Ji's action was probably out of a sense of nostalgia for Jiang Songyi, which allowed her to witness the physical evidence that was found.
However, even Madam Jiang couldn't help but feel astonished. She had clearly instructed Madam Xi to completely destroy the items Jiang Yuyao had buried that day, and she had also been sending people to secretly monitor Jiang Yuyao's whereabouts for several days. How could she have found an opportunity to take advantage of her?
Take a closer look at what is written on those spells——
It is even more terrifying than the voodoo doll that was destroyed before!
The previous voodoo doll was just cursing the emperor to die soon, but what was recorded on this talisman was that the Yongding Marquisate intended to usurp the country's destiny and prayed for Dongling's protection to help it rise up, wash away its previous shame, and flatten Jindu in one fell swoop.
It just so happened that at this time, a hostage from Dongling was living in the Yongding Marquis's mansion.
If it is said that the Yongding Marquisate colluded with Dongling and plotted rebellion, the evidence is absolutely conclusive!
Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt a deep sense of despair and helplessness.
Is it true that Marquis Yongding is going to repeat the mistakes of his previous life as predicted by Jiang Songyi?
She was filled with resentment!
"The Marquis' House has been loyal for generations, with absolutely no rebellious intentions. How could you possibly attempt to usurp the nation's destiny? I am willing to personally appear before the Emperor and die to prove my resolve. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter and clear the Yongding Marquis' House of all wrongdoings!"
Madam Jiang's eyes were as firm as iron. With her trembling body, she stood firmly in front of the many female members of the Marquis' Mansion. Although her figure was shaky, it was like an indestructible barrier.
On either side of her, Jiang Shu and Xu Shi supported her tightly, preventing her from falling. Jiang Shu was deeply worried at the moment. She had been living in the side yard for several days, and she had neglected it to such an extent that someone had taken advantage of her.
However, she couldn't understand why Jiang Yuyao succeeded despite being on guard against her and never letting her get close to her yard.
Jiang Yuyao looked at the vigilant and alert expressions of the people in the Marquis' Mansion, and her heart was ecstatic. Although she didn't understand why the things she found were different from where she had buried them, as long as the result was what she wanted, that was enough!
Soon, the prosperity of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion will come to an end. Her brother Liao Lingxi will shine in front of the emperor because of his meritorious report, and may even become the prince of the Huguo Duke's Mansion!
Even though she no longer had Ji Ji's protection, she had no blood relationship with the Yongding Marquisate and was the daughter of the Duke of Protectorate. It would only take a word for her to escape!
When she became the daughter of the Duke of Huguo, her father and brother became the emperor's close ministers, and her status as the fourth prince's concubine should also be improved.
Although the Fourth Prince has some misunderstandings about her now, she is confident that she has a way to win his heart back.
Ji Ji's gaze, like a sharp sword, swept across every person in the mansion. He then gave his subordinates a subtle look, signaling them not to overly harass those present. He turned to Madam Jiang and said in a firm but polite tone, "Please go ahead and follow us."
It was obvious that they wanted to take everyone away first and escort them to the gloomy imperial prison.
Xu tightly grasped Jiang Songyi's hands, her heart filled with guilt. She murmured softly, "Songyi, I'm sorry. I wanted you to enjoy a few days of peace, but I didn't expect you to be implicated in the turmoil in the Marquis' Mansion."
She had never expected that the disaster of annihilation of the entire family in Jiang Songyi's mind would come so soon.
"It's truly puzzling. Who on earth has such an irreconcilable grudge against the Marquis' Mansion that would go to such great lengths to frame us, secretly setting up such a heinous trap and attempting to push the Marquis' Mansion into an abyss of no return?"
However, amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Jiang Songyi displayed extraordinary calmness.
【Actually, I buried that thing myself.】
As soon as Jiang Songyi spoke out her thoughts, everyone was stunned.
