Chapter 1173: Revealing Your True Face
She continued forward and came to a closed stone door.
The stone door is carved with intricate patterns that look like some kind of combination lock.
Jiang Xue observed carefully and found some patterns hidden in the pattern.
She tried to turn the mechanism on the stone door in a regular pattern, and with a "click", the stone door slowly opened.
Behind the stone door is a small room with a table in the middle of the room and an exquisite box on the table.
Jiang Xue walked quickly forward and opened the box, inside which lay the crucial letter!
"Finally found it!" She was delighted and quickly put the letter away.
Just as I was about to carefully read the contents of the letter, suddenly, I heard a noisy sound of footsteps at the entrance of the secret room.
"Oh no! They are coming!" Jiang Xue's heart trembled and she quickly hid the box.
The door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Li rushed in aggressively with a group of servants.
She saw Jiang Xue standing in the middle of the secret room at a glance and was immediately furious.
"Bitch! How dare you actually break in here!"
Jiang Xue sneered, not afraid at all. "Why, are you afraid that I will discover your secret?"
Jiang Li gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think you can get out alive?"
"That's not necessarily true." Jiang Xue raised the letter in her hand: "I have already got what I wanted."
Jiang Li's face changed drastically. She didn't expect that Jiang Xue actually found the letter.
"Hand over the letter!"
"Want it? That depends on whether you have the ability to do it." Jiang Xue held the letter tightly in her hand and looked at Jiang Li with cold eyes.
The atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.
"Go! Catch her!" Jiang Li gave an order, and the servants behind him rushed forward.
Jiang Xue nimbly dodged the servants' ferocious attacks.
Jiang Xue, who had long since adapted to the light in the secret room, could move freely in the narrow secret room, while the servants could only bump into walls everywhere in the dim light.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue smiled contemptuously and said, "You think you can catch me with your mediocre skills?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li pointed at Jiang Xue angrily and yelled, "You bitch! If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you! I'll catch you and make you die!"
Jiang Xue was not afraid at all. Instead, she pampered her and raised the letter in her hand, saying with a joking smile: "Then come and catch me. If you don't catch me today, then I will expose your true colors!"
The chief steward of the Jiang residence and Master Wang also joined the battle. They tried to attack Jiang Xue from both sides.
The butler was fat and slow in movement, but he relied on his tall and strong stature to repeatedly ram Jiang Xue with his fat body.
Master Wang was insidious and cunning. He specifically attacked Jiang Xue's weaknesses, and every move was aimed at the letter in her hand.
The secret room suddenly became a mess, with tables, chairs and benches being knocked to the ground, making crackling sounds.
The dust was so thick that it made people cough.
Mr. Jiang was hesitating on the side, his face changing from gloomy to bright.
He was worried that Jiang Xue would really reveal the family secret, and he was also afraid of offending the forces behind Jiang Li.
He rubbed his hands and paced back and forth like an ant on hot pan.
The old ancestor of the Jiang family was deceived by Jiang Li's sweet words and was half-believing and half-doubting what Jiang Xue said.
He leaned on a cane, stared at Jiang Xue with cloudy eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxue, if you have any misunderstandings, please speak out quickly, and don't hurt the harmony of your family."
Jiang Xue smiled bitterly in her heart. This was not a misunderstanding at all; it was clearly a long-planned conspiracy!
She was misunderstood by everyone, isolated and helpless, and under tremendous pressure, but she still had to stay calm in order to find an opportunity to fight back.
"Grandfather, don't be fooled by her!"
Jiang Li cried and rushed to the old ancestor, pointing at Jiang Xue and said, "She is deliberately trying to sow discord and destroy the Jiang family!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Xue shouted, "We all know who wants to destroy the Jiang family!"
Master Wang took the opportunity to jump out and pointed at the letter in Jiang Xue's hand and said, "This letter is obviously forged. The young lady is deliberately framing me!"
Jiang Xue sneered: "Forged? Then tell me, how is this letter forged?"
Master Wang rolled his eyes, pointed at the seal on the letter and said, "This seal is obviously fake. I have been in the Jiang Mansion for many years and have never seen a seal like this!"
Jiang Xue cursed Master Wang in her heart for being cunning and treacherous. She had long expected that he would use this trick.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said coldly: "Since you say this seal is fake, do you dare to find someone to verify it?"
Master Wang's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Jiang Xue to be so calm, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
He stammered, "This... this will take some time..."
"time?"
Jiang Xue pressed on: "Are you stalling for time and want to destroy the evidence?"
Master Wang was sorely hurt by Jiang Xue's words that his face turned pale instantly.
He was so angry that he pointed at Jiang Xue and shouted, "You are slandering me! I am an upright person, how can I allow you to slander me like this!"
Jiang Xue was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She turned to look at Master Jiang and the old ancestor and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle, ancestor, this letter in my hand is enough to prove that Jiang Li colluded with the treacherous officials in the court and intended to murder the Prime Minister and frame the Jiang family! If you don't believe it, you can find someone to verify its authenticity!"
Master Jiang and the old ancestor looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Li cried out, "Dad, ancestors, please don't believe her! She is deliberately alienating us and wants to take all the family property for herself!"
Jiang Xue sneered in her heart. Jiang Li was really a man who would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. He was still acting at this time.
She no longer paid attention to Jiang Li's crying, but stared closely at Master Jiang and the old ancestor, waiting for their decision.
The atmosphere in the secret room was extremely solemn, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and slowly opened the letter in her hand.
"this……"
Jiang Xue slowly unfolded the letter. The thin paper made a slight rustling sound in the dim secret room, like a thunder that was about to explode.
The handwriting on the letter was beautiful and neat, but every word was as sharp as a knife, piercing the heart.
She cleared her throat and read aloud. Every word was clear, powerful, and resounding, as if echoing in the secret room.
The letter recorded in detail how Jiang Li colluded with treacherous officials in the court, how he used the resources of the Jiang Mansion to benefit the treacherous officials, how he designed to frame Prime Minister Zang, and even how he conspired to usurp the Jiang family's property.
Every single case, every single one of them, is written down clearly and plainly, with solid evidence, leaving no room for any sophistry.
Jiang Li's face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.
She wanted to explain herself, but found that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.
She was like a skinned rabbit, exposed naked in front of everyone, so ugly.
The chief steward and Mr. Wang were also frightened out of their wits and were sweating profusely.
