Chapter 41 Why did Jiang Nanfeng say that you had died a long time ago?
Lin Zhixue immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Yes, now is not the time to cry.
She and Jiang Nanyuan took out all the food from the lunch box and placed it on the table.
Seeing so many delicious foods, Xu invited the other women to come and eat together.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't know that there were so many people locked up here, and she didn't buy much food.
Lin Zhixue saw that those women were so young. She only knew the eldest sister-in-law Jiang Yamin and the second sister-in-law Zhao Sisi, and she didn't know the others.
After they sat down around the low table, Xu told her that two of the women were the wives of her two younger brothers.
They sat down and chatted with each other. The main purpose of Lin Zhixue and Jiang Nanyuan's visit this time was to find out what had happened in the Duke's Mansion.
"Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Why did Jiang Nanfeng say you were already dead?"
After asking, Xu sat down, took a piece of cake from the table and gave it to the two little boys who looked identical, asking them to divide it.
These two children are Zhao Sisi's twin sons, Lin Zhou and Lin Ji.
"Thank you, grandma." The two of them thanked her obediently, sat on her left and right, and ate the cakes in small bites.
"Mother, this is a long story, I will tell you later, first tell us what happened in the mansion?
You, Dad, and your two sisters-in-law are all here, why don't you see your eldest brother and younger brothers?"
Speaking of this, Lin Zhaoye and Xu's faces showed sorrow, "Your eldest brother and your second brother died in the battlefield a few years ago.
Your three brothers are now imprisoned in other cells."
Lin Zhixue was very surprised to hear this. Her elder brother and second brother had been learning martial arts with their father since they were young. As the war at the border was tense, they often stayed at the border.
They seldom came back, so Lin Zhixue saw them very seldom, but she didn't expect that hearing news about them again would be so heavy.
She felt a little uncomfortable. Not only did she feel uncomfortable, but Jiang Yamin and Zhao Sisi, who were sitting next to her, also had sad expressions.
However, they did not feel sad for long. Lin Zhixue saw that they all looked pale and thin, especially the two children, who looked as if they had not eaten for a long time.
They stared at the food on the table and couldn't help swallowing several times.
Lin Zhixue noticed this and handed the plate of cakes to the two of them, "Take it and eat it."
Lin Zhou and Lin Ji did not go to answer it immediately. Instead, they turned their heads and looked at their mother cautiously, asking for her opinion.
After seeing her nod, they took the plate of pastries and thanked Lin Zhixue.
Afterwards, they talked for a while in the prison. Jiang Nanyuan actually knew about the current situation of the Duke's Mansion. These were all planned by Jiang Nanfeng and Xiao Yujing.
To put it bluntly, they were all wronged because they suffered this disaster because of the Ninth Prince.
But there is no way around it, because their current emperor is incompetent and listens to the words of villains.
In fact, it is also good to have your property confiscated and be exiled. At least you can leave the capital and no longer have to live in fear and work for that damn emperor.
"Madam, Miss, the time is up, you should leave."
Before they knew it, an hour had passed and the soldiers came over to remind them.
After hearing this, Lin Zhixue had to leave even though she was reluctant.
He stood up and left the cell with Jiang Nanyuan, looking back every few steps, and returned to the inn.
As soon as they returned to the inn, Jiang Nanyuan saw Xiaohong pacing back and forth at the door of her room.
Her face was full of anxiety. When she saw Jiang Nanyuan and the others coming back, she immediately ran towards Jiang Nanyuan, knelt down, and kowtowed to her desperately.
"Miss, please save my family, okay?"
"Get up and come into the house with me, then tell me what happened." It was such a big commotion outside, but fortunately there were not many people around.
Lin Zhixue was also very curious why Xiaohong came to ask Jiang Nanyuan for help instead of asking herself.
She didn't know what happened in Xiaohong's room last night, and Jiang Nanyuan didn't mention it to her.
Xiaohong also knew that it was not appropriate to be outside now, but she was indeed too anxious and did not pay attention to these things for a while.
Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue walked into the house together, and Xiaohong immediately followed behind them.
Qiuyue and Baizhi were guarding the door.
As soon as Xiaohong entered the room, she knelt down in front of Jiang Nanyuan.
Liu Shuang didn't know how she knew that those people didn't kill her yesterday.
Someone sent her a letter and a packet of poison today, asking her to put the poison in the food that Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue were eating.
She also told her that she had arrested all her family members and if she did not do as she was told, they would all be killed.
Ever since Xiaohong got the letter and the poison, she almost collapsed. It wouldn't matter if she died, but her family had done nothing wrong and shouldn't be involved.
If Liu Shuang had asked her to do this before yesterday, she would have chosen to do it without hesitation.
But after what happened last night, she saw how powerful Jiang Nanyuan was, and she didn't dare to do that again.
Judging from what Jiang Nanyuan did last night, if this happened in the Marquis' Mansion, she would probably have easily taken Liu Shuang's life.
The reason why she didn't do that must be because she had other concerns.
After much deliberation, she decided to ask Jiang Nanyuan for help.
But when she came to find Jiang Nanyuan, she had already gone out, so she had to wait at the door for Jiang Nanyuan to come back.
She told Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue the whole story.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't expect that she was so well-informed. Those people died quietly last night, but she already knew about it today.
"Just do as she says, and then tell her it's going to be put in our food."
Jiang Nanyuan was really speechless. She had done this once before, but she still didn't learn her lesson and did it again.
So she would still play along this time, but in order to return the favor, she would have to give her a gift this time.
"It's Miss, that servant's family..."
"Don't worry, just leave it to me, your family will be fine." Although Xiaohong betrayed Lin Zhixue in the past, she is helping him now, so it might not be a bad idea to save her family.
It's just a piece of cake.
"Do you know where your family members are being held?" She had to find out the location first before she could take action to rescue them.
This Xiaohong really didn't know. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"Okay, after dinner later, go tell her that the medicine has been put in our food.
As for rescuing your parents, I can only wait and see. After all, we don’t know where they are being held.”
When Xiaohong heard Jiang Nanyuan say this, she kowtowed several times on the ground in gratitude.
"Thank you, Miss."
She really regretted it. She regretted betraying Lin Zhixue for that little bit of profit.
