Chapter 1174 Rectifying the Jiang Mansion
They didn't expect that Jiang Xue actually had such important evidence, and they didn't expect that she would be so decisive in making the evidence public.
They knew that this time, they were completely finished.
The old ancestor of the Jiang family turned pale when he heard this, and he slammed the ground heavily with the walking stick in his hand, making a dull thud.
His originally cloudy eyes were now flashing with anger, like an enraged lion that could explode at any time.
He never imagined that his beloved granddaughter would be so vicious and do such a heinous thing.
Mr. Jiang was so shocked that he was speechless. He opened his mouth but didn't utter a syllable for a long time.
He had always thought that Jiang Li was gentle and virtuous, and was the pride of the Jiang family, but he had never expected that she was so cruel and would do such a heinous thing.
He felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face, and his face was burning with pain.
The secret room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Only Jiang Xue's voice continued, like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
When she finished reading the last word of the letter, the entire secret room fell into deathly silence.
Everyone present was stunned by the content of the letter. They could hardly believe that what they had just heard was true.
Jiang Li screamed hysterically at Jiang Xue: "This letter must be fake! Don't be fooled by Jiang Xue, this letter must have been forged by Jiang Xue!"
"Forged?"
Jiang Xue sneered: "Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing? Every word in this letter is evidence! If you don't believe it, you can find someone to verify it!"
Jiang Li wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the old ancestor of the Jiang family.
“That’s enough!”
The old ancestor roared: "The facts are in front of you, and you still want to quibble! Come, arrest Jiang Li, the butler, and Master Wang!"
The servants rushed forward and tied up the three men.
Jiang Li struggled desperately, crying, shouting and cursing, but to no avail.
The old ancestor of the Jiang family looked at the three people who were tied up and sighed, his eyes full of disappointment and heartache.
He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Lock up the three of them and wait for their fate!"
Mr. Jiang finally came to his senses. He looked at Jiang Xue, his eyes full of guilt and gratitude.
He knew that if it weren't for Jiang Xue, the Jiang family would probably have been destroyed by Jiang Li.
"Xiaoxue."
Master Jiang walked up to Jiang Xue and said with a sob, "Uncle is sorry for you. I wronged you before."
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "Uncle, let the past be the past. The most important thing now is that we must rectify the Jiang Mansion as soon as possible to prevent similar things from happening again."
Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "You are right. We will start to rectify the Jiang Mansion now."
At this moment, a servant hurried in, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Master, someone came from the palace and said that the emperor is going to hold a palace banquet and invites you and the princess to attend."
Jiang Xue and Master Jiang looked at each other, and a hint of doubt arose in their hearts.
Why did this palace banquet come so suddenly?
"I understand. You can go down." Master Jiang waved his hand and asked the servant to leave.
He turned to look at Jiang Xue and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxue, it looks like we have to go to the palace."
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of confidence and expectation.
They know that the road ahead is still long, but they are ready to meet all challenges.
"What on earth will happen in the palace?" Jiang Xue thought to herself.
The next day, Jiang Xue gathered everyone in the Jiang Mansion in the main hall.
Jiang Xue was dressed in a gorgeous princess's dress, sitting upright on the main seat, looking at the people from the Jiang Mansion sitting nearby with a determined look.
She coughed lightly, and the sound instantly stopped the whispers in the hall.
"My dear uncles and aunts! I have called you all here today to announce an important matter to you - I am going to reorganize the Jiang Mansion!"
Jiang Xue's voice was clear and powerful, and everyone in the hall had different expressions when they heard it.
Some looked gloomy, some looked surprised, and some looked confused.
But no matter what, Jiang Xue's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the Jiang Mansion.
The old ancestor of the Jiang family, who was sitting nearby, stroked his gray beard, his eyes gleaming with approval.
He spoke slowly, his voice resonant: "Little Xue is right! The Jiang family has been ill for a long time, it's time to reorganize it! I fully support you!"
Mr. Jiang also followed suit and said, "Xiaoxue, your uncle also supports you! Just go for it, everyone in the Jiang Mansion will cooperate with you!"
With the strong support of the ancestors and Mr. Jiang, Jiang Xue became more determined.
She looked around at everyone, her eyes as sharp as torches: "First, we must thoroughly investigate those who colluded with Jiang Li and ruined the reputation of the Jiang Mansion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly exploded.
The faces of some people who had been in collusion with Jiang Li suddenly changed, and they became restless like ants on a hot pan.
Jiang Xue did not give them any chance to breathe, and directly called out: "Butler He, the accountant of the Jiang family, and..."
She listed more than a dozen names in one breath: "These people should be dismissed from their posts and investigated immediately, and all their property should be confiscated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who had been waiting outside filed in and captured those people one by one.
There was a sudden cry of surprise in the hall, and those who were named were so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again.
"Princess, please spare my life! I know I am wrong!"
"Princess, please have mercy on me! I will never dare to do that again!"
However, Jiang Xue was not moved at all, and said coldly: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place! Take him away!"
The palace guards dragged those people away without hesitation, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Looking at Jiang Xue's vigorous and decisive style, everyone felt awe and admiration for her.
The old man of the Jiang family looked at Jiang Xue and laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! Little Xue is indeed as capable as any man! With you here, the Jiang family will surely prosper."
Jiang Xue smiled modestly: "Thank you for your praise, old ancestor. I just did my job."
In the next few days, Jiang Xue worked non-stop to carry out the rectification work.
She first dismissed those who were in office but doing nothing and engaging in corruption, and then promoted a group of young, promising and loyal talents.
She also formulated a series of new household rules and management systems to regulate the behavior of everyone in the Jiang family.
For example, it is strictly forbidden for people within the government to conduct private transactions or accept bribes, to oppress the people, to bully others by taking advantage of their power, etc.
As soon as these new rules came out, everyone in the Jiang family applauded.
Those servants who had been bullied were even more grateful and expressed their willingness to swear allegiance to Jiang Xue until death.
Thanks to Jiang Xue's efforts, the atmosphere within the Jiang Mansion has been completely renewed.
The Jiang Mansion, which was once in a mess, has now become orderly and presents a prosperous new atmosphere.
Seeing all this, the old ancestor of the Jiang family was even more impressed with Jiang Xue's abilities.
