Chapter 189
The truth floats
"Zhaoying."
Yang Pianpian felt cold all over and quickly returned to Jiang Zhaoying.
The guests coming and going and the descendants of the Rong family all looked at her and even talked about her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Zhaoying held her hand tightly, snuggled up to her and whispered softly.
"You're doing great. Don't indulge anyone who makes you unhappy."
Yang Pianpian glanced around coldly and let out a long sigh.
She had lived a very happy life in the Yang family since she was a child. Everything went smoothly for more than ten years. Her parents had a good relationship, her grandmother's family also loved them very much, and her uncle and aunt treated her as their own daughter.
although.
The elders would also tell them about the twists and turns in these mansions, but when they saw and encountered them with their own eyes, they were still nervous.
If she hadn't been careful just now, she would have fallen into their trap by accident and would have been unable to explain herself.
"Zhaoying, the Rong family... it's really hard to describe. Everyone is greedier than the other, and more inhumane than the other. You... you make me so sad."
"If they had any humanity, my mother might not have passed away so early."
Ever since they came to make trouble last time, Jiang Zhaoying asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help investigate the Rong Mansion. The reason why her mother left so decisively, in addition to Prime Minister Liu's crazy criticism and frame-up, should also be related to the Rong Mansion.
Old Madam Rong is a very sharp and mean person. She cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, even if that grain of sand is her daughter.
She fully expected that her daughter would marry into a wealthy family, bring honor to the family, and help her three sons have smooth careers. However, who would have thought that she would go into business, making Old Madam Rong feel that she had brought shame to the Rong family.
Plus.
The Liu family had been making crazy accusations and making all kinds of framings back then. The Rong family was worried that not only would they offend the Liu family, but they would also offend Mrs. Liu's family. If they all took their anger out on the Rong family, things would be troublesome.
…
With a cold face.
Jiang Zhaoying took Yang Pianpian to a place where there were fewer people in the mourning hall, pulled a maid, said a few words, and then her third uncle walked quickly towards them.
When Master Rong San heard Jiang Zhaoying's question, his face changed drastically, but Jiang Zhaoying calmed him down with just a few words, and at the same time placed the two deeds in his hand on the stone table in front of him.
"Tell me the truth, and these two shops will be yours. It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. I think my eldest and second uncles will also want them very much."
Master Rong San naturally knew that what she said was true, so he dared not hesitate and pressed the two deeds down.
"You actually asked the right person about this matter. I am the only one who knows a little bit of the truth. They don't know anything at all."
Think about it.
Master Rong San spoke hurriedly.
"When Linghui was doing business, her mother was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and said that she had raised an ungrateful person who could not help her and harmed the Rong family. She summoned her to the mansion several times and asked her to hand over the business and stay in the mansion to take care of her husband and children. But Ronghui did not listen to her at all and turned a deaf ear to her."
"The real change in things should be after she met the woman surnamed Liu. They should have met three times. At that time, Linghui was still pregnant with you."
When Master Rong San said this, he turned his head and looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he leaned forward and lowered his voice.
"My mother asked me to buy some medicine that could make Linghui sleepy. I thought it wasn't poison, so I bought it."
Master Rong San frowned, looking puzzled, and stroked his beard and clicked his tongue.
"I thought she was going to let Linghui fall asleep, and then force her to press her fingerprints and take over the shops she owned. Who knew that my mother actually let the man surnamed Liu in? The man surnamed Liu should have wanted to have sex with Linghui, but... I don't know what happened. Linghui, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly vomited blood and then her water broke."
This scene.
Master Rong San witnessed it with his own eyes, and even now when he thinks of Rong Linghui covered in blood, he still feels a little scared.
"When my mother saw what was happening, she dismissed all the servants, hoping that Linghui would die in childbirth. But Jiang Zhenggan rushed in here with a knife in hand, hacking at the door. You don't know, Jiang Zhenggan rushed in here hacking at the door like a madman... I was so scared... I rushed out holding Linghui like a madman, and later summoned a midwife and a doctor to watch over her. It was so hard to give birth to her, but it was a pity that her foundation was damaged, and she took the antidote a little later in order to give birth to you. Her body was defeated, and she passed away not long after..."
"No, before she died, my mother went to see Linghui once. It was after that time that Linghui became completely disheartened."
Master Rong San kept talking, and his voice trembled at the end.
Jiang Zhaoying sat there in a daze, the coldness in her eyes almost freezing the entire Rong Mansion. Yang Pianpian bit her red lips lightly, turned her head and looked at Jiang Zhaoying who was holding her tightly, her eyes full of heartache.
After Master Rong San finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Zhaoying's murderous look and hurriedly pulled the deed out of her hand bit by bit.
He looked at it carefully and then put it in his arms.
"We don't know the details very well. As you know, the affairs of the Rong Mansion have always been handled by mother. We have to listen to her. There are so many men in the family, but no one can make the decision. We are very depressed. Let him die. You can just regard it as revenge for Linghui."
Master Rong San patted the contract that he was holding against his chest, a smile flashed across his face, and then he turned and left.
Jiang Zhaoying stood up slowly with stiff movements. Yang Pianpian hurriedly stood up and held her hand tightly.
"Let's go, shall we?"
"good."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded, took Yang Pianpian's hand and turned to leave.
The gate of Rong Mansion was open at this moment, and carriages were approaching this side one after another. Yang Pianpian's eyes turned slightly, and her voice was slightly raised and she spoke in a cold voice.
"This Rong Mansion is really despicable and shameless. It's clear that the two families don't have any relationship, but they still want to use your status as a goddess to flatter themselves. Not only did they go to the Jiang Mansion to ask for food, drinks and money, but they also want us to give all the shops to them, and they even forced these servants to come and monitor us. Zhaoying, it's better not to come again in the future."
"Well, I won't come again."
As soon as Jiang Zhaoying finished speaking, several noble families who were greeting her were stunned for a moment. When Jiang Zhaoying got on the carriage, they thought for a moment, flicked their sleeves and frowned.
"It seems that the relationship between the goddess and the Rong Mansion is not good, so there is no need for us to get involved in that bad luck. Let's go back."
Not far away.
Jiang Zhaoying lifted the curtain and watched the carriages at the door turn around and circle, then she lowered the curtain and let the carriages leave.
After returning to the Jiang Mansion.
Yang Pianpian immediately found Nanny Li and told her what happened in Rong Mansion. Then she asked someone to find human traffickers to sell all the six servants from Rong Mansion who were brought back.
After washing and changing clothes, Jiang Zhaoying went to look for her father.
Jiang Zhenggan was now staying in a side room, surrounded by all kinds of strange stories and ancient books. Hearing the voice, Jiang Zhenggan raised his head from the pile of books, and when he saw it was his daughter, he hurriedly got up.
"You're back? Did you feel upset?"
As Jiang Zhenggan was about to pour some water for his daughter, he found that the water was cold again. He then turned around and asked the nanny to come in and bring in some hot tea.
"Did my grandmother also have a role in my father and mother's death?"
Jiang Zhenggan lowered his eyes slightly. He knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, and he was waiting for Jiang Zhaoying to find out and ask him.
After a long sigh, he said in a deep voice.
"Your grandmother did drug your mother, but she always insisted that it was a knockout drug, not poison."
In order to prove her innocence, she also asked the Jiang family to search her yard. In the end, they only found medicine that could make people fall into unconsciousness, and no poison was found.
At that time, Madam Rong was extremely excited and made a lot of noise. She even wanted to hang herself to prove her innocence.
"Since she conspired with Liu Xiang, she would not have poisoned her. Maybe someone replaced the medicine. Mother probably never dreamed that the bowl of soup that grandma gave her was poisoned."
Jiang Zheng nodded with a cold face.
then.
When Mrs. Rong learned that her daughter had died, she was not sad but breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a pity that I have been investigating for several years and still haven't been able to find the mastermind behind this."
Jiang Zhenggan gnashed his teeth in hatred whenever he mentioned this. He wanted to investigate the Rong Mansion thoroughly, but Old Madam Rong sternly refused. From then on, he no longer regarded the Rong family as relatives.
Jiang Zhaoying stood up, walked to the window and thought carefully.
Third uncle should have said everything he could say. The chicken soup that Old Madam Rong gave mother to drink came from the kitchen, and anyone can enter the kitchen and do anything with it.
"First, check whether any servants of Rong Mansion left Rong Mansion fifteen years ago, or were executed."
"good."
Jiang Zhenggan waved at Jiang Zhaoying as he spoke, and the two walked towards the screen together. Jiang Zhenggan quickly stepped forward and pushed open the screen. Suddenly, in front of Jiang Zhaoying were ten sets of hexagrams, all exactly the same. Jiang Zhenggan's dry eyes brightened up, and he pointed at the hexagrams and said.
"Look, this is your mother's hexagram."
The pupils in her eyes contracted instantly, and Jiang Zhaoying's breathing gradually became rapid.
She had always suspected that her mother came from another world, a different time and space. She even suspected that her mother should have come from there from the beginning, and then just returned to her original world.
The hexagram looks full of vitality, and it is obvious that the person is still alive.
Jiang Zhenggan choked up.
"It's good to know that she is still alive. I hope she can live well."
It is precisely because he knows that she is still alive that Jiang Zhenggan has been studying the astronomical phenomena diligently over the years, wanting to know which world she lives in and where there is a gap to enter her world and find his wife.
He had carefully studied his wife's habits, hobbies, etc. over the years, and now he felt that he had figured out some of the tricks.
Maybe.
One day, maybe he will be able to go to the world where his wife is, look for her, and see her.
"Father, what do you want to do?"
Looking at the tiny notes her father had made, one book after another, each thicker than the last, Jiang Zhaoying suddenly felt terrified.
"You want to go find your mother?"
Seeing the relieved smile on Jiang Zhenggan's face, Jiang Zhaoying became more certain of her idea. She hurriedly sat next to her father and grabbed his sleeve.
"Father, don't do anything stupid. We can't guarantee success. You may die."
She has lost her mother and brother, and her father is the only blood relative around her. If her father is gone too, she will have no relatives around her.
"Ying'er."
The fatigue and old age in Jiang Zhenggan's eyes were released to the extreme at this moment. He missed his wife for too long, so long that sometimes when he saw her in his dreams, he felt so heartbroken that he almost didn't want to live anymore.
"If she is really dead, I will protect her soul and we can meet in the underworld, but now I know she is still alive, living in another world. How can you let me bear the separation between the two worlds?"
As big tears fell, Jiang Zhenggan cried like a child who had done something wrong.
When he fell into Liu Xiang's trap, he left his wife, almost humiliating her and poisoning her. She tried her best to give birth to Zhaoying, but even when he set up the Longevity Formation, he was unable to keep her.
She said before she died.
She was going back to her own world, and asked him not to think about her, but to live well in this world and raise his children well.
In the first ten years, he could not see any changes when he told fortunes. However, in the following years, every time he told fortunes, he could find signs that Linghui was still alive.
He has made all the necessary preparations, and he can leave as soon as the opportunity arises.
"I never thought she would be away from me for so long and make me miss her for so long."
"Father."
Jiang Zhaoying threw herself into her father's arms, and both father and daughter cried together.
for a long time.
Jiang Zhenggan pointed to his head of white hair.
"My father is old. If I don't try, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait much longer."
"I'll help you, father."
No matter what, she wanted to ensure her father's success to the greatest extent possible. She would be happy if he could find his mother and start over with her.
"No, I'll take care of everything."
Jiang Zhenggan was worried that Jiang Zhaoying would be punished by heaven if she leaked the secret. This was no joke.
"It's okay, father. I will help you when we come back from Langzhou. During this time, you have to be careful of the people in Rong Mansion. They will definitely try their best to seize the Jiang family's assets."
"snort."
Jiang Zhenggan's face turned cold when he heard the name of the Rong family.
"It's better for them to come. In the past, I thought that she was Linghui's mother after all and had the grace to give birth to her, so I never touched them. Now that they dare to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
Killing one's mother is against the will of heaven and should not be done, but now that Madam Rong has received her retribution, there is no need for him to worry about the other people in the Rong family.
Just saying.
Xu Zhiyan and A Yu came over together. After the nanny served tea, Jiang Zhenggan asked Xu Zhiyan.
"Is everything in the mansion ready?"
The eldest daughter of the Xu family brought people to forcibly occupy his mansion. In the end, Lord Wang arrested the people, put them in jail, made them write a letter of guarantee, and compensated for the losses before they stopped.
Jiang Zhaoying asked the master in the shop to repair Xu's house as soon as possible and also had people add a lot of things. When Miss Xu found out, she was so angry that she asked people to buy the house next to Xu's house. She wanted to make Xu Zhiyan restless. When Jiang Zhenggan found out, he bought the house next to Xu's house and gave it to A Yu. Now that the two houses are connected, they can take care of each other.
"Everything has been packed up, and Ayu has moved in. Godfather, everything is well arranged, don't worry."
"This Miss Xu really needs to be taught a lesson."
Judging from the current situation, she will go crazy soon, and then her retribution will truly begin.
There was a hint of bitterness in Xu Zhiyan's eyes, and it was unclear whether it was for the pain of the real Xu Zhiyan or for himself.
"Zhaoying, I have something to ask you. Shall we go to the study?"
The study had the most complete tools and books, which made it more convenient to draw. Jiang Zhaoying nodded and left with him.
"Zhiyan, there is something I have always wanted to ask you."
How could Xu Zhiyan not know what his adoptive father wanted to ask? As bitterness overflowed from his eyes, he spoke in a trembling voice with tears in his eyes.
"Godfather, I do have my reasons."
Then.
He told Jiang Zhenggan in detail about how he was reborn in Xu Zhiyan's body after his death. Jiang Zhenggan was stunned and stood up. He looked at Xu Zhiyan in shock and then asked him.
"Is there anyone else alive in the Wen Mansion?"
After saying that.
Jiang Zheng took out all the measuring tools with shaking hands, and calculated them one by one. In the end, he just sighed deeply.
"It seems that there are no more. You are the only one who survived. Shuye, my good boy, I am glad that you survived."
No wonder Xu Zhiyan has been so tolerant of the Xu family over the years, even after they left the Xu clan. It turns out there is this relationship.
"Aren't you going to tell Ying'er?"
Even if I didn't tell her, Ying'er might have already noticed some clues but just didn't say it out loud.
"I've thought about it, but I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it."
"Silly child, you are able to survive. It is such a happy thing for her. No matter whose body you are, you are still her brother Shuye. Do you know how long she cried when the Wen Mansion was in trouble?"
He still remembers Jiang Zhaoying running into the Wen residence crying and shouting for him to come back to life.
"When did you resurrect?"
"March 5th."
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Zhenggan was startled, and then a picture popped up in his mind...
