She also took the opportunity to tease, "Sister Songyi, you knew that Second Brother was seriously injured, why did you treat him so recklessly?"
Before Jiang Songyi could respond, Mrs. Jiang came over after hearing the sound.
Jiang Yuyao seized the opportunity to complain to her grandmother, "Grandma, my second brother's injuries seem to be getting worse. Sister Songyi is really a jerk. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can express it to me directly. Why did you hurt my second brother like this?"
[Could it be that Grandmother would also side with Jiang Yuyao? If I had known this would happen, saving this corrupt mansion wouldn't have mattered. I would have taken my mother and left it far away, leaving it to its own devices.]
The corners of Mrs. Jiang's eyes twitched slightly, and she secretly retorted in her heart: This is not right, she has never had such an idea!
Her face darkened, and she began to scold Jiang Baichuan harshly: "Alright, how can a real man be so fragile? Your sister Songyi just pushed you lightly, and you fell down? How can you learn the style of those women in the harem who pretend to be weak!
Jiang Bochuan felt aggrieved and wronged by his grandmother's harsh rebuke, as if he had fallen on purpose in an attempt to frame Jiang Songyi!
"Grandma, I'm wronged. Jiang Songyi's strength is indeed extraordinary!"
Jiang Songyi raised his eyebrows slightly and said jokingly with a cheerful mood, "Second brother, how could you frame me like this? Did you learn some tricks from your sister Yuyao?"
Madam Jiang's eyes were as cold as ice as she glanced at Jiang Yuyao sideways. "Speaking of this, Yuyao, you secretly plotted to make Song Yi fall into the water that day. You should sincerely apologize to her."
For the first time, Jiang Yuyao felt her grandmother's gaze pierce her bones like an icicle. An unprecedented panic welled up in her heart. "Grandma, I was indeed momentarily foolish that day. It was absolutely not intentional. Sister Songyi, I was wrong. I beg for your forgiveness."
Now that the truth had been revealed before the Fourth Prince, any excuses seemed feeble and powerless. She could only bow her head and admit her mistakes, trying to gain some sympathy with her repentant attitude.
However, Jiang Songyi obviously had no intention of reconciling with her.
What was even more surprising was that Madam Jiang also cast a gentle gaze on Jiang Songyi, "Songyi, Grandma misunderstood you in the past, and now I should express my most sincere apology to you."
Jiang Songyi couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
The old lady of the Yongding Marquisate was known for her toughness and sternness. Leveraging her position as a senior, she acted with unwavering authority. Even though she knew deep down that she had made a mistake and felt immense guilt, she found it difficult to humble herself and apologize to the younger generation.
[My grandmother in this life seems to be very different from my previous life...]
Mrs. Jiang was secretly relieved and thought: It seems that Songyi finally has a new understanding of me.
However, immediately afterwards, another voice echoed within her: [This face is even thicker than in my previous life. My grandmother in my previous life would not utter a single word of "wrong" even if her head was broken and bleeding.]
Madam Jiang selectively closed her ears, not wanting to hear about her past life. To her, the past was unimportant; all she experienced was the present reality.
"Speaking of which, things have changed drastically in the Marquis' Mansion recently, and some matters have yet to be properly addressed."
Madam Jiang's gaze fell on Jiang Baichuan's legs. "The horses in our mansion were all brought back by your father from the battlefield. Although they have violent temperaments, they are well-trained and would never get out of control for no reason. This matter must be thoroughly investigated to prevent any enemy spies from attempting to harm our fine horses and thus threaten your father's safety."
She had just learned from Jiang Songyi's inner voice that Jiang Yuyao was closely related to this matter.
Now that the Marquis' Mansion has survived the crisis of confiscation, it is time to settle accounts with Jiang Yuyao, the ungrateful villain!
Let’s start with this accident.
Jiang Baichuan was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to escape, "Grandma, this might just be an accident..."
Although his words were soft, they could not conceal his inner anxiety and uneasiness.
Madam Jiang's tone was cold and full of unquestionable majesty: "We will know the truth once we find out."
Jiang Yuyao was terrified, subconsciously reviewing in her mind whether she had processed the horse feed without leaving any trace. Time passed quickly, she consoled herself, thinking that after so many years, those traces should have disappeared without a trace.
However, Jiang Yuyao's panic only lasted for a short moment. She quickly regained her composure.
After all, at this moment, my grandmother and second brother's suspicions were focused on the enemy's spies' deliberate sabotage of Liangju, and they might not associate her with it.
Furthermore, she had already properly disposed of the medicine Liao Lingxi had given her, and all traces had disappeared.
Jiang Songyi also thought that with Jiang Yuyao's meticulous mind, she would never leave any opportunity for her to take advantage of.
However, what she didn't know was that since Old Madam Jiang had already locked on her target and was determined to eliminate Jiang Yuyao, the hidden danger, the authenticity of the evidence became insignificant - in her hands, everything could be tampered with and fabricated.
Madam Jiang's gaze passed gently from Jiang Yuyao to Madam Xi, her eyes deep and far-reaching. "Madam Xi, you are an expert in medicine. This matter must be thoroughly investigated by you and the stable manager. Everyone who came into contact with the stable or the horse feed that day must be investigated thoroughly."
Nanny Xi had followed Madam Jiang for many years and could discern her deepest meaning with just a glance. She knew that this investigation would be rigorous and thorough.
Even if the truth could be uncovered, even if it was Jiang Yuyao's fault, she only needed to shed a few tears, and Jiang Baichuan would be eager to devote all his love to her, and would simply brush off his leg injury.
Jiang Songyi had witnessed her family's endless love for Jiang Yuyao in her previous life. She was extremely envious at that time, but now when she thinks back on it, there is only a hint of bitter irony left.
Seeing that Xu was busy with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, she did not want to recall the memories of how her brothers doted on Jiang Yuyao, so she took the initiative to step forward to help Xu.
"Mother, your body has not yet recovered. You were disturbed by the Jinyiwei this morning and woke up from your dream. You haven't had a moment of peace until now. You can leave the chores here to me first, and you can take a rest for a while." Jiang Songyi looked at Xu, his eyes full of concern.
She often fantasized about how great it would be if she could knock her mother unconscious and take her away from the Yongding Marquis Mansion, which was full of disputes.
However, she also understood that Mrs. Xu would not agree to such an approach. After all, she had spent more than twenty years in this mansion, and although the mansion had not caused her much harm, most of her life was deeply rooted in it. It would be difficult for her to give it up easily.
Mrs. Xu could sense Jiang Songyi's inner voice. Her daughter's understanding made her feel warm in her heart, and she felt even more distressed about her maturity and thoughtfulness.
"Mother isn't tired; she's just telling the servants to take care of some chores. Your second brother always bullies you, and I'll definitely teach him a lesson tonight. Now, go back to Step Moon Garden and rest. Later, I'll have Bi Gui come and summon you for dinner."
