Chapter 89
It’s him, it’s all him!
"What if I want your life?"
Nanny Li's aura was fully revealed. She looked at people sideways and confronted them without any courtesy.
Although she was a servant of the Jiang family, she had been in charge of the household affairs for so many years. The Jiang family treated her with great honor and her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation were all in accordance with her master's wishes.
so.
Even with a casual gesture or a glance, her manners were no worse than those of an old lady from an aristocratic family.
Mrs. Song had a bad temper and became hysterical at any time. Compared with the calm and cold Madam Li, she lost by five points.
Nanny Li's words were so cold and cruel that Madam Song felt her hair stand on end and pointed at her with a trembling finger.
"Well, just wait. One day, I will chop you into pieces."
"I'll be waiting for you!"
A flash of disdain appeared in Nanny Li's eyes.
She is not a person with a good temper, nor is she a person who is afraid of trouble.
She has never been particularly tolerant of anyone in her life.
Then it can only be Rong Lingzhu.
Before her death, the lady instructed that Rong Lingzhu should be treated well and her life should not be harmed. In addition, Jiang needed a successor who was not so shrewd.
Otherwise, how could Rong Lingzhu have remained firmly in the position of Mrs. Jiang?
But……
After so many years, Nanny Li felt that she might have been wrong.
She shouldn't have been soft-hearted when Rong Lingzhu was begging for mercy with blood all over her head. She helped her to invite the master back and let her set a trap for the master.
She even speculated that it was because the master knew that she was involved that he resigned himself to drinking the glass of wine and allowed Rong Lingzhu to give birth to two daughters.
"Jiang Zhaoying... Jiang Zhaoying..."
Madam Song was too disdainful to confront Nanny Li. She glared at the shadow on the window and banged on the gate and started shouting.
"I won't say anything else. Just find a way to get Cheng Yu out. It's just a small matter. Why are you tampering with the government?"
At the window illuminated by candlelight, a man and a dog were playing. After hearing Mrs. Song's words, they were quiet for a moment, and then played more happily.
Behind Mrs. Song.
Matron Liu glared at Matron Li with eyes as if they were coated with poison, and Aunt Yu was also stunned.
They were shocked by Nanny Li's dignified appearance.
They are both maids, and both are capable assistants to the Madam, but Nanny Li looks like the distinguished old lady in the mansion. How can she look like a servant at all?
Why?
Aunt Yu reached out and tugged at Aunt Liu's sleeve. Aunt Liu was startled, with a complex look in her eyes.
"Jiang Zhaoying, you said it yourself that the emperor's headache will definitely relapse. Chengyu is his medicine. If Chengyu gets into trouble, you won't be much better off."
In the room.
Shu Yun hugged A Bao and rolled his eyes. He kept talking about this all day long and had nothing else to brag about.
"Abao, the young lady may not come back tonight, so you just sleep quietly while waiting for her, okay?"
Shu Yun stroked the hair on Abao's head and coaxed him gently.
Abao looked up at Shuyun, blinked and called out. Shuyun smiled and picked up Abao, and the man and the dog walked towards the bed.
Then.
The lights in the house went out.
It's obvious that he doesn't want to pay attention to them.
Mrs. Song was so angry when she saw Jiang Zhaoying being so arrogant. If she wasn't afraid of this yard, she would have rushed in and burned Jiang Zhaoying.
And at this moment.
Jiang Zhaoying's carriage was indeed speeding on the road. Chi Ying knew that she had something important to tell her, so she flew onto the roof and rushed to the Prince's Mansion. By the time their carriage arrived at Shi's Mansion, the Prince had already known the letter.
The Shi family seemed to have expected that they would come to cause trouble, and the house was now brightly lit and on high alert.
Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi were both sitting in the main hall, with servants on both sides looking very strong. When Mrs. Shi saw them coming in aggressively, she immediately looked unhappy.
Jiang Zhaoying and Madam Yang looked around but did not see Shi Chunyi, which made them even more certain that there must be something shameful in there.
Mrs. Yang was so anxious that she felt a bloody taste rising in her throat.
She and Mrs. Shi are also cousins and have always had a good relationship, so she really doesn't understand why Shi Chunyi wanted to plot against Yang Pianpian.
"Cousin, what are you doing here again? We have examined it several times and it is indeed not related to Junyi."
Madam Yang turned pale and rushed to Madam Shi and grabbed her.
"Where's Junyi? Let her come out and answer me. This matter can't be unrelated to her."
"What are you doing? Let me go."
Madam Shi struggled hurriedly, patted the place where Madam Yang had grabbed her, something flashed in her eyes, and she frowned again.
"Junyi was frightened by you and fell ill. The doctor is preparing medicine for her. Call her out soon. If she gets frightened again and becomes stupid, you will be responsible."
Pop.
Madam Yang slapped Madam Shi in the face.
Bang.
Master Shi looked at the heavy slap on the table and said angrily.
"How can you come to my house and start a fight without knowing the truth? Madam Yang, we have investigated this matter again and again, and it is indeed not related to us. If you don't leave, I will ask someone to ask you to leave."
As soon as Mr. Shi finished speaking, the maid beside him rushed out. Madam Yang was shocked and angry at their brutal behavior, but she could do nothing about it.
When in pain.
She remembered what Yang Pianpian had once advised her. She said that the Shi family had hands and feet, and status, and that they should work hard on their own to get what they wanted, instead of her being soft-hearted and giving them everything just because they came to the house and cried.
She said.
If she were the legitimate wife, she would definitely observe strict rules. If there was any discord between the couple, they would divorce immediately and would never allow herself to be wronged like that. She would not go to relatives' homes to beg for money or steal money and then take it back to support her husband's family. This is the most despicable behavior.
At that time, she thought her daughter's words were too direct and too harsh. Now it seems that she is not as insightful as her daughter.
Seeing that she was crying out to heaven and earth for help but no one was responding, Jiang Zhaoying became so anxious that she was about to go crazy. She slowly stepped forward and bowed to the Yang family.
"I don't have much time, and I hope you can do it quickly. I want to see Shi Chunyi, right away."
Bang.
Mr. Yang smashed the teacup in his hand hard at Jiang Zhaoying's feet. His anger made him like an angry tiger. He glared at Jiang Zhaoying.
"Who are you and who are you?"
He didn't remember that the Yang family had such a cold and beautiful daughter.
and.
This young woman was very imposing from the moment she came in. Even though Shi Fu had a tough attitude, she remained as steady as a rock and watched quietly.
Master Yang frowned fiercely, feeling a little uneasy. He always felt that the woman in front of him was not easy to deal with.
"I am nothing. Our Jiang family and Yang family have exchanged engagement letters. Miss Yang and my brother are engaged. She is my sister-in-law. Now that my sister-in-law has something wrong, I naturally have to make things clear."
Mr. Shi was speechless for a moment after listening to this. There was nothing wrong with what he said. If his future sister-in-law was missing, the other party would of course have to find out everything. If her innocence was lost, the marriage would have to be cancelled.
But Jiang Zhaoying's tough attitude made him furious. Although the Shi family was not a big family, Shi Jinzhou, the eldest son of the Shi family, was now the Junior Chancellor of the Chancellery. In fact, their Shi family belonged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Think about it this way.
The Shi family members’ backs straightened a little.
Jiang Zhaoying watched with a burning anxiety in her heart. The longer the time went on, the more dangerous Yang Pianpian would be. The Shi family's reluctance to give up food and oil made it clear that they wanted to harm Yang Pianpian, so she became more resolute in her attitude.
"I want to see Shi Chunyi."
"She is very ill now, unconscious and unable to speak. It is useless for you to see her. Please go back."
The Shi family's words were cruel and heartless, like sharp knives stabbing into Mrs. Yang's heart. Mrs. Yang was so anxious that her eyes turned red, and she pointed at Mr. Shi in anger.
"How could you do this? If it weren't for my husband's help, how could Shi Jinzhou have developed so smoothly?"
Whether it was reading and writing or imperial examinations, all were arranged financially and manpower-wise by the Yang family. Shi Fu would come and cry all day long saying that they didn't know how to train them or what to do, and they were all cultivated by them.
"What does that mean, aunt?"
A cold voice came from behind. Jiang Zhaoying turned around and saw a tall and handsome young man walking in with a cold face.
"All my achievements are the result of my own hard work. Aunt, please don't make it sound like it's all due to your Yang family."
"you……"
Madam Yang was so angry that she leaned back. Si Nan and Feicui immediately stepped forward and held her up. Madam Yang glared at Shi Jinzhou, who snorted coldly and turned his head away without looking at her.
"You are ungrateful, Shi Jinzhou. I never expected anything in return from you. Just be honest with yourself. From the time you started studying, taking exams, becoming a disciple, and being appointed an official, every single thing that our Yang family took care of was taken care of by you. Your mother only came here to cry poor. Every ounce of silver you spent on your studies came from the Yang family."
"Cousin, you are going too far, aren't you? When did I take money from you? Why did I cry poor to you? You can't always slander me. You are just a general, how rich can you be?"
When Mrs. Shi heard Mrs. Yang reveal her past, she felt very upset and stood up to refute her angrily, crying out of grievance.
"Those are my dowry, they are my dowry subsidy."
Madam Yang was so angry that she was shaking all over. This was the first time she noticed Madam Shi's ugly face. Only then did she realize that her usual weakness and crying were all fake.
dowry.
How dare she talk about her dowry!
Mr. Shi was a man with a sweet mouth and a playboy heart. He coaxed her into not knowing the directions. His dowry was already subsidized to the Shi family at an early stage. He collected the money from her and then gave it back to the Shi family.
"You all heard it. It was my mother who took my own dowry out of consideration for me. It has nothing to do with you. Now I am in the Zhanshi Mansion and I am favored by the Crown Prince. That is my ability and has nothing to do with you. If you are fine, you can leave. We will not care. If you make trouble again, I will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to administer justice."
This family!
Jiang Zhaoying looked at the family coldly, and she really wanted to kill them.
When the Shi family mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they became arrogant and looked at Jiang Zhaoying and Madam Yang with mocking expressions.
Jiang Zhaoying turned to look at Si Nan, who shook his head slightly.
The people they sent out haven't come back yet, so they have to wait a little longer.
Jiang Zhaoying guessed that they would send Shi Chunyi away as soon as possible, so Jiang Zhiyu took people out to chase them, and sent other people out to look for Yang Pianpian's whereabouts.
They have done what they should do.
The best way right now is to get Shi Chunyi out, pry open her mouth and ask her clearly.
"Are you going or not? If not, I will ask His Highness to come down and administer justice."
"Then go ahead and invite me."
Jiang Zhaoying spoke with a cold face.
Then.
There was an inaudible sound on the roof, and a black shadow leaped out of Shi's house and flew towards the alley.
The secret guard stepped forward and saluted, reporting what he had just seen and heard to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shen Liuguang frowned as he listened, and said in a cold voice.
"Jiang Zhiyu is chasing someone, and we are looking for him. We should have results soon."
They split into two groups, Jiang Zhiyu pursued Shi Chunyi's whereabouts, while the Prince's Mansion searched for Yang Pianpian's whereabouts, but the capital was too big and they needed time.
"Liu Guang."
The voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sounded.
"Send some more people to help Jiang Zhiyu."
"yes."
The secret guard took the order and quickly made arrangements, then returned to the roof.
Now that she already knew the true face of Mrs. Shi, there was no need to be polite anymore. Jiang Zhaoying pressed on step by step, forcing Mrs. Shi to curl up in her chair with a furious look on her face.
"You, the Shi family, really acted out the word ungrateful very vividly."
Jiang Zhaoying took a step back and raised her hand.
"Since they can't tell me Shi Chunyi's whereabouts, then smash it until they are willing to speak."
"Yes." Madam Yang pointed at the valuable ornaments in the hall. "These were all taken from me. She was born in a humble family and had some dowry. She has taken countless things from me over the years. I have a list of them. If you can find their origins, smash them all. I will take the responsibility."
As soon as the words fell.
Half of the servants they brought started fighting with the servants of the Shi family, and the other half started smashing things crazily.
Soon all kinds of sounds of smashing were heard in the main hall, shocking the Shi family members and making them scream. Mrs. Shi was so heartbroken that she rushed forward to grab the things back, as she had spent a lot of effort to get these things back, and now they were gone after being smashed.
They care a lot about their reputation, so in the entire Shi Mansion, the main hall is the most luxuriously furnished and contains the most valuable items.
Mrs. Yang didn't care about that and grabbed Mrs. Yang's hair and threw her to the ground.
"How can you be so shameless, how can you raise such unkind and unjust children, how can you treat us like this, bang..."
Mrs. Shi was beaten from both sides and screamed continuously, and soon her face was swollen beyond recognition.
Master Shi and Shi Jinzhou looked at the mess and were so angry that they slapped the table and shouted.
"Stop it, stop it."
The situation got out of control, becoming increasingly chaotic, with screams raging.
until.
It was not until Shi Chunyi was yanked out and dragged to the center of the field that everyone's movements suddenly came to a halt.
Mrs. Shi's eyes were filled with panic. She wanted to step forward to protect her daughter, but Jiang Zhaoying took advantage of the chaos and kicked her away.
Madam Yang rushed forward, grabbed Shi Chunyi's shoulder, and yelled at her in a hoarse voice.
"What did you do? Why did you hurt Pian Pian? She is your cousin."
He pulled off her collar, bracelets on her wrists, and hairpins on her hair, and became even more hysterical.
"You took all these from Pian Pian. How has she wronged you? Tell me."
As Shi Chun heard this, the jealousy in his eyes continued to grow. He hit Madam Yang, rubbed Madam Yang, and kept backing away trying to escape.
In order to escape from this matter, she discussed with her mother and immediately packed up and left the city, preparing to hide in the farm for a while and come back after the matter was settled.
Who knew that when we were halfway there, we were stopped by someone.
When she saw that the man on the tall horse was Jiang Zhiyu, she was very happy and went up to greet him shyly. However, Jiang Zhiyu looked at her coldly, whipped her on the back, and had someone put her on the carriage and forcibly took her back.
Jiang Zhaoying sat on the chair and pointed at Shi Chunyi.
Just now, Chi Ying took advantage of the chaos to fly down and told her that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was helping her find Yang Pianpian and asked her to wait for news.
Si Nan took a few steps forward, grabbed Shi Chunyi and threw him in front of Jiang Zhaoying.
Shi Chunyi cried uncontrollably and shook her head anxiously.
"I really don't know what's going on. I really don't know."
Jiang Zhaoying's eyes were as cold as ice in the winter. She slowly leaned down and pinched Shi Chunyi's chin.
"I don't have time to waste with you. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Otherwise, you will suffer the same fate as Yang Pianpian. If she dies, you will die too. When the time comes, she will be buried in style while you will be buried in a mass grave. At that time, all kinds of wild animals will come to eat your corpse. Think about it, is that good?"
Mrs. Yang's eyes were red.
Looking at Jiang Zhaoying's cruel appearance, I was deeply moved.
Young ladies from aristocratic families are usually gentle and kind in front of others, but cruel and vicious behind their backs. If Jiang Zhaoying didn't really want to save Pianpian, how could she be so desperate?
Originally she was still hesitant about this marriage, but now, she felt that her daughter's choice of the Jiang family was the right one.
Shi Chunyi was so frightened by Jiang Zhaoying's words that he trembled with fear. He retreated quickly, struggled again and again with trembling lips, and finally shouted while crying.
"It's Song Mingji, it's him. He fell in love with my cousin and asked me to help him. I thought this was a good match, so it wouldn't hurt to help him."
…
These words shocked Madam Yang, Jiang Zhiyu and Jiang Zhaoying so much that they felt weak all over.
"When did you conspire?"
"A clothing store. My cousin and I happened to meet each other, so we went to the store to pick out clothes. When my cousin was trying on clothes, I met Song Mingji. He gave me five thousand taels of silver and asked me to help get my cousin on his carriage."
Shi Chunyi looked at Jiang Zhiyu while crying. Young Master Jiang was so handsome that she was attracted to him. If Yang Pianpian married Song Mingji, wouldn't she have a chance to be with Jiang Zhiyu?
and.
That was five thousand taels of silver. She had never seen so much money in her life.
She asked Song Mingji if the money was stolen, but Song Mingji just smiled smugly and said that the Song family had plenty of silver, and after the matter was done, he would give Shi Chunyi five thousand taels.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a good thing?
"It was Song Mingji who deceived me. It was all his conspiracy, but... I really think that my cousin and Song Mingji are a good match, and the Song family likes her, so I helped her. Aunt, I helped you and helped my cousin find a husband. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why do you treat me like this?"
"I don't mean any harm, really."
Pop.
Madam Yang slapped Shi Chunyi hard on the face, and Jiang Zhaoying said coldly.
"Catch her and send her to Shuntian Prefecture."
Shi Chun screamed miserably when she heard it. Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward and kicked her in the chest. The pain was so severe that she couldn't say a word and was dragged out.
Then.
Jiang Zhaoying asked Sinan to hurry back to the Song Mansion to check whether Song Mingji was in the mansion. However, the information he got was that Song Mingji had gone to the farm. Because Song Mingji sent someone back to get clothes half an hour ago, he got the exact information.
then.
The group of people rushed towards the small village with murderous intent...
