Chapter 17 Sneaking into Jiang Nanfeng's Study
"Yes, I can't be considered as Aunt Liu's confidant, but I am also a first-class maid serving in Aunt Liu's courtyard."
She had been with Liu Shuang for almost seven or eight years. Because of this, when she learned that Liu Shuang not only poisoned her, but also poisoned her family.
Her heart had sunk to the bottom at this moment.
Now, no matter what the eldest lady asked her, she would tell the truth without hiding anything.
"Then tell me, what did she do that she was afraid you would tell? Why did she poison you to silence you?"
Qiuyue thought about it carefully. Liu Shuang asked her to do a lot of things, but in her eyes, those things were not particularly serious. They were all trivial matters and should not be to the point of being silenced.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and she might have poisoned herself to keep her mouth shut because of that incident.
"My dear, I just remembered something. Aunt Liu brought out Xiaohong, who was with Madam Lin.
No one knows what method Aunt Liu used at that time, but Xiaohong immediately betrayed Madam Lin and now works for Aunt Liu.
And then there's the matter of Aunt Liu secretly having Madam Lin and the eldest daughter poisoned."
"Impossible! You're lying. Xiaohong wouldn't betray Madam Lin. She's not that kind of person."
As soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, Aunt Chen beside her immediately became excited. She absolutely did not believe that Xiaohong would betray Lin Zhixue. At that time, they could be considered to be dependent on each other.
Besides, if Xiaohong wanted to betray, she would have done so long ago. How could she betray in such a short time after being taken away by Aunt Liu?
In any case, she didn't believe it.
Seeing Aunt Chen so excited, Qiuyue sighed helplessly, "Aunt Chen, I know you may not believe what I said, after all, Xiaohong has been with you for such a long time.
But think about it carefully, why did Aunt Liu never go back after taking Xiaohong away?
Also, you met Mrs. Lin today, and she had Xiaohong with her. How come she appears next to Mrs. Lin now, unharmed?
And you're all locked up.
Besides, the young lady is right here. If you still don’t believe it, just ask her.”
After Qiuyue's words, Aunt Chen's face turned pale instantly.
She didn't believe it at first, but when she saw Jiang Nanyuan nodded, she had to believe it!
Jiang Nanyuan is Lin Zhixue's daughter, she will definitely not lie to herself.
But why? Madam Lin treated Xiaohong so well, why would she betray Madam Lin?
"Nan Yuan, Xiao Hong has betrayed Madam Lin. She is still with Madam Lin. Will she harm her?"
Aunt Chen has now accepted Xiaohong's betrayal, and her first concern is Lin Zhixue.
She was afraid that she would do something bad to Lin Zhixue. After all, Lin Zhixue didn't know that she had betrayed her, and she must trust her more than the other maids.
Jiang Nanyuan was not actually that surprised when she heard the news. At first, when Xiaohong returned to Lin Zhixue's side, she didn't think much about it.
She thought this must be Liu Shuang's arrangement, but after seeing Aunt Chen, she no longer thought so.
The situations of all of them are so miserable, but Xiaohong is the only one who is not hurt at all. This is obviously unacceptable. She doesn't believe that there is no trick.
She had just met Aunt Chen today, and these were just her guesses, so she hadn't told Lin Zhixue yet.
"Okay, I have my own arrangements for this matter. You can leave first." Jiang Nanyuan looked at Qiuyue and said, she still had some questions to ask Chen Kexin.
Qiuyue tactfully retreated first. After she left, Jiang Nanyuan looked at Chen Kexin and asked, "Where did you hide Baizhi?"
Chen Kexin told Jiang Nanyuan about Bai Zhi's location. After that, she looked at Jiang Nanyuan, hesitant to speak. She had something to say but didn't know how to say it.
"Auntie, just say what you want to say."
After hearing what Jiang Nanyuan said, Chen Kexin thought for a moment before speaking, "Can you please send me out? I don't want to stay in this mansion anymore."
Jiang Nanyuan was very surprised that she would propose this condition. He glanced at her and didn't expect that she would want to leave the Marquis' Mansion.
Since she was also kind and righteous, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, go pack up, I'll take you away now."
When Chen Kexin learned that Jiang Nanyuan was going to send her away right away, she was so happy that she immediately told Jiang Nanyuan that she didn't have anything to take with her.
After Jiang Nanyuan learned about it, he took her out of the mansion and sent her to the city gate, and gave her two hundred taels of silver for her safety.
Chen Kexin was very grateful and wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Jiang Nanyuan.
Watching her leave, Jiang Nanyuan thought that since he had been out for a while, he might as well go and see if Bai Zhi was there.
She rushed towards Bai Zhi's residence and came to a village outside the capital. She found a house and saw that the candle was still lit inside. She climbed through the window and entered the house, which scared Bai Zhi. She was about to scream, but Jiang Nanyuan covered her mouth.
"I'm Jiang Nanyuan, Lin Zhixue's daughter. I'll let go in a moment, so don't scream."
Bai Zhi nodded repeatedly. When Jiang Nanyuan let go of her hand, she turned her head in fear and looked at her, then knelt down, "Miss."
She recognized the eldest lady at a glance. Her eyebrows and eyes were like Jiang Nanfeng, and the rest of her features were like Lin Zhixue.
Jiang Nanyuan nodded, and without saying anything more, took her back to the Marquis' Mansion and let her and Qiuyue sleep in the same room for the time being.
She returned to the house and took out the dowry list written by Lin Zhixue from the space and read it carefully.
Tsk tsk, the things here are all good stuff, although they are not as good as the treasures she found in the secret realms in her space.
But here, these things can be considered the best.
After reading this, she put the list away, returned to her space, lay on the ice bed, closed her eyes and rested.
At the hour of Chou, Jiang Nanyuan opened her eyes, changed into a nightgown, and quietly slipped out of the yard.
She familiarized herself with the situation in the Marquis' Mansion during the day and knew where the warehouse was.
Her first purpose today was to come to the warehouse to see what treasures were inside.
When they arrived near the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion, there were only two secret guards guarding it. Jiang Nanyuan easily shook them off.
There was a copper lock hanging on the door of the warehouse, but this was not a problem for Jiang Nanyuan. She took out a bottle of highly corrosive venom.
She fell on the copper lock, which was soon damaged, and she entered the warehouse.
The warehouse was dark, so she took out a night pearl from the space to light it up.
Only then could he see clearly what was stored in the warehouse of the Marquis' Mansion.
There weren't many things in the warehouse, only about ten boxes in total. She opened them one by one and took a look at the contents, then curled her lips in disgust.
To her, everything in here was rubbish, just some worthless ornaments, some cloth and a few boxes of silver.
She felt that the remaining jewelry and other small items were not worth much.
But since she was already here, she might as well take everything. With a thought, she put all the things in the warehouse into the space.
After moving the things in the warehouse, she planned to go back to the yard, but then she thought about how Jiang Nanfeng had left Luo Yurou alone in the empty room yesterday.
He would definitely stay in her yard today, so she would go to his study and see if there was anything that could be moved away.
It just so happened that she also knew where his study was, so thinking of this, she quickly walked towards her study.
When he was not far from his study, Jiang Nanyuan discovered that there were four secret guards around him!
There are so many secret guards guarding here. There must be treasures or secrets in his study.
Jiang Nanyuan suddenly became interested and thought that this trip was worthwhile.
She effortlessly avoided the secret guards and slipped into Jiang Nanfeng's study.
She casually looked through his study and found nothing particularly valuable.
There is nothing confidential in the written document.
Could it be that I was wrong?
No, it was absolutely impossible. She didn't believe that if there was nothing there, there would be so many secret guards guarding outside.
Jiang Nanyuan searched his study carefully again, and finally she found a mechanism on the bookcase.
Just as she was about to turn the mechanism, footsteps suddenly sounded outside. "Who's in there?"
