Chapter 34
Shedding skin even if you don't die
"Miss."
Qiangwei called out weakly. Jiang Zhaoying was cold all over and waved her long sleeves in anger. Qiangwei took two steps back in fear with a hint of fear in her eyes. She knelt down in front of Jiang Zhaoying anxiously.
"Madam asked the housekeeper to send 10,000 taels of silver and a lot of medicinal herbs. She said all the good things but they refused to accept them. Madam Xiao said that Young Master Xiao was seriously injured and choked on water, and almost died. This matter is not so easy to let go, she wants to sue the authorities."
Although everyone was courteous to Jiang Jianzheng, Minister Xiao's official rank was much higher than his. It would be easy for him to take revenge on the eldest young master. Once he entered Shuntian Prefecture, or attracted the attention of the Censor and a memorial was submitted, the entire Jiang Mansion would be implicated.
This is all over.
The young master will be skinned alive even if he doesn't die!
Jiang Zhaoying's face became increasingly cold.
Madam Xiao is the daughter of a military family. She has always had a hot temper. When she gets angry, it is said that she will chase Minister Xiao all over the street.
Xiao Shuhuai has been studying in the academy and is not the same kind of person as Jiang Zhiyu. How could they meet?
How could there be a commotion?
So he said to Qiangwei in a bad mood.
"It's right for her to sue the authorities for causing harm to someone's life."
Given Mrs. Xiao's hot temper, she might not even look down upon a mere piece of silver. Therefore, the silver sent by her stepmother not only failed to calm her down, but made her feel insulted, which led to her becoming furious and wanting to report to the police.
"But Miss, Madam Li asked me to come here, saying that only Miss is the one who truly wants to help the young master."
Hearing the three words "Madame Li", Jiang Zhaoying's cold eyes finally showed a hint of relaxation. Madame Li was her wet nurse. The reason why she didn't let Madame Li come over was because she was worried about Jiang Zhiyu, so she asked her to keep an eye on him in the mansion.
She only realized it later.
This stepmother seems to be doting on her brother, but in fact she is pampering him to death. She has spoiled her brother and is controlling him, as well as the entire Jiang family.
but.
My brother is getting better and better at eating, drinking and having fun, and it's hard to keep an eye on him.
"Madame Li said that our Madam and Madam Song are very good friends."
Shu Yun and Shu Yu's faces changed slightly when they heard this, and they all looked at Jiang Zhaoying who was standing in front of the window. They were friends, so this should be normal, so why did Qiangwei say it specifically?
Jiang Zhaoying felt cold all over when the wind blew on her body.
No wonder.
No wonder she was so enthusiastic when the marriage proposal was made, no wonder she agreed to such a marriage while her father was in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau for calculations, and no wonder she had such a sharp eye and chose such a family!
so.
Is my death related to my stepmother?
If the stepmother and Madam Song were very good friends, or even partners in cahoots, then she must know the background of the Song family. At least she knew what kind of person Madam Song was, and she also knew that Song Chengyu had someone outside.
They chose to join forces.
One is to get the huge property in his hands, and the other is to get his own life?
Previous life.
He managed the Song Marquis Mansion to great prominence, and even his two younger sisters, Jiang Fuqin and Jiang Fuxiao, born to his stepmother, were offered two excellent marriages.
Jiang Fuqin and Jiang Fuxiao would often come to the Marquis' Mansion. Whenever they complained or said that life was hard, she would generously give them all kinds of valuable items and money. Therefore, they had a very high status in their husband's family, were loved by their husbands, had children, and lived a prosperous life.
You can say that.
During those years that my stepmother spent in the Jiang Mansion, she really lived a life of wealth and luxury. The only regret she had was that she was unable to give birth to a son for the Jiang Family. This had always been a concern for her.
so.
My heart began to tremble violently and tears welled up in my eyes.
Jiang Zhiyu later died of drunkenness in the stinking ditch of Tianxiang Tower. Was that also their doing?
If that’s the case…
Jiang Zhaoying's face was paler than ever before.
She thought that her stepmother had her own little thoughts and was considering her two daughters, and she allowed and understood all of this. However, she never thought that her stepmother was determined to collude with others to kill her and her brother.
"rose."
"The servant is here, Miss."
Qiangwei wiped her tears quickly and looked at Jiang Zhaoying with tears in her eyes. She was flustered when the accident happened and didn't know how to help the young master.
"Go back and help your brother bathe and change his clothes, dress properly, and then meet me in the private room of Yuhua Tower."
"yes!"
Qiangwei knew that the young lady agreed to help the young master, so she bowed happily and turned to leave.
"Madam of the Crown Prince."
The voice of the Song mansion's maid came from the yard.
"Madam has been waiting for you to come over and serve her tea."
Shu Yun and Shu Yu were shocked. They actually forgot such an important thing. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have had their wedding night last night, and then they should have gone to serve tea to Madam Song and the clan leader early this morning.
Fortunately, the two aunts, Taxue and Tamei, are now on the young lady's side and they probably won't say anything in the palace.
"Miss, are we still going?"
Given the young lady's current temper, she probably doesn't want to go.
"Go ahead."
A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Zhaoying's eyes, and she took out a small package from her arms and played with it in her palm.
"Go boil some water, I'll make the tea myself."
It's easy to drink her new daughter-in-law tea, as long as they can bear it.
Everyone is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now that everyone's true colors have been revealed, why should they continue to pretend to be lambs?
Shu Yun turned around to boil some water. Jiang Zhaoying took out the top-quality tea she had brought with her and brewed a pot of fragrant tea. Then she poured everything in the small package into the pot and took out three pills.
"In case of any accidents, you guys take the antidote."
"Miss, the lady's notes say that she has improved the recipe for this laxative, and it is very powerful. It says that you can't hold it in for a minute and you will poop in your trouser pocket, but what does a minute mean?"
"Maybe it means time is running out."
Jiang Zhaoying's long eyelashes flickered slightly. Many of the words in the notes were very concise and fluent. She had never seen them before but could understand them. She liked the way her mother spoke very much. She could feel in every word that her mother was a very wise and generous woman.
What a pity.
Her mother passed away when she was only one year old. She didn't even get to feel the warmth of her mother's embrace or call her mother.
That's all.
Putting aside her thoughts, Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and got busy.
The tea was brewed quickly.
She led Shu Yun and Shu Yu towards Madam Song's Pinghu Residence. The servants were busy in the yard. She could sense an unusual atmosphere inside before they entered.
The two aunts, Taxue and Tamei, came up to her and gave her a wink.
"Be careful."
"kindness."
Jiang Zhaoying responded softly, then lifted the curtain and walked towards the inner hall.
The room was full of elders. Patriarch Song and Madam Song sat in the first seat, the uncles were at the lower right, the elders from the first, second and third branches of the Song family were all there, as well as some high-ranking clan members.
Seeing Jiang Zhaoying coming at this time, the elders all looked gloomy, and one relative even slapped the table and pointed at Jiang Zhaoying and scolded her.
"How shameful! How shameful!"
