Chapter 61 How could it be him? How could he appear here?
Jiang Wenjin, disregarding her image, took two steps forward, shoving two broadswords diagonally in front of them. "Who are you? They are criminals, and you are not allowed to get close."
"Master Li, this is my younger brother. Could you let him in and talk to us for a few words?" This Master Li seemed easy to talk to, otherwise he wouldn't have been so kind as to let them pack their clothes.
When Li Wei heard what Jiang Nanyuan said, he looked at Jiang Wenjin. Jiang Wenjin usually stayed in his own yard, and few officials outside knew him. Since Jiang Nanyuan said that this was her brother, he must be a young master in the marquis's mansion, so he could be taken away.
He winked at the two soldiers holding knives, then gave the order, "Take them all away."
Hearing what Li Wei said, Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue were stunned. Why did he take him away without asking any questions?
Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue exchanged a glance. When Jiang Wenjin came over and walked alongside them, Jiang Nanyuan whispered, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so dirty?"
Jiang Wenjin saw that Jiang Nanyuan didn't see his joy, but instead looked disgusted. He pouted sadly and said, "The mansion is surrounded by soldiers. I can only pretend to be a dog hole to get out."
When Jiang Nanyuan heard that the Marquis' Mansion was also surrounded by soldiers, she sneered in her heart. The reason why the Marquis' Mansion was also implicated was because of her handiwork.
Just half a month ago, she sneaked into the palace again and dropped a secret letter on the desk in the imperial study.
This secret letter mainly exposed Jiang Nanfeng's secret dealings with the Second Prince.
She also wrote about Jiang Nanfeng's hoarding of private soldiers.
The emperor didn't like Xiao Yuchen in the first place, and after seeing the secret letter, he immediately sent secret guards to investigate the matter.
Sure enough, he finally found some clues during his investigation.
Those clues were also released by Jiang Nanyuan.
This matter was handled in a covert manner. If she didn't reveal some clues, the secret guards around the emperor might not be able to find out anything.
These clues were also what Jiang Nanyuan had seen in Jiang Nanfeng's secret letters before.
The secret guards discovered the existence of private soldiers and returned to the palace to tell the emperor the news.
It just so happened that today was the day of confiscation of property and exile, so he issued an imperial decree, ordering the Imperial Guards to confiscate the marquis's mansion as well.
Thinking back to this, Jiang Nanyuan turned her head and looked at Jiang Wenjin, who was covered in dirt.
The security in this mansion was not very strict, so he was able to slip out through the dog hole.
Jiang Nanyuan did not tell Lin Zhixue about this matter. She just wanted to give Lin Zhixue a big surprise. When she saw everyone in the Marquis' Mansion later, she would definitely be surprised and laugh.
Of course they deserve to be laughed at.
Following Li Wei's team, they walked towards the city gate together. When they arrived at the city gate, Jiang Nanyuan and Lin Zhixue saw that the Duke's family was already waiting at the city gate.
The men in the Duke's Mansion all had shackles and chains around their necks, and their clothes were tattered, even with whip marks and lingering bloodstains.
The women were in a better situation; they did not have shackles or chains around their necks.
Xu turned around and saw Lin Zhixue and Jiang Nanyuan being escorted over as well. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
She originally thought that Lin Zhixue was a married woman, and even if she was divorced, she should not be implicated by them.
When Lin Zhixue saw Xu and her brother and sister-in-law, she immediately ran over and hugged Xu.
After the two of them exchanged a few brief words, he turned his head and looked at Lin Zhaoye, his three younger brothers and his nephew with concern.
They all had shackles around their necks and iron chains on their feet.
The three younger brothers were all surprised when they saw Lin Zhixue. They choked up and tentatively called out to her, "Sister."
The last time they went to visit the prison, they didn't see them, so they didn't know that Lin Zhixue was still alive.
"Hey, our Jianian, Jiahua, and Zixuan have grown so tall. Let Third Sister take a good look."
Lin Zhixue is the third child in the Duke's Mansion. She has two older brothers and three younger brothers. Lin Jianian and Lin Jiahua are twin brothers, one year younger than her.
Lin Zixuan is even younger, he is only eleven years old this year.
He didn't exist when Lin Zhixue got married.
Later, before she was sent to the farm, she learned that her mother had given birth to a younger brother. She went to visit him once, gave him a golden lock, and never saw her younger brother again.
"Sister, you're so lucky! You're not dead. I really thought you were dead before. I secretly burned paper for you every day in the mansion. Woo woo woo, when I saw you just now, I almost thought I saw a ghost."
Lin Jiahua cried bitterly. When Lin Zhixue walked over to him just now, he really thought he was seeing things.
Lin Zhixue rolled her eyes at her unruly brother, then she walked to Jiang Zixuan, looked at him carefully, and touched his head with heartache.
"Good boy, I am your third sister. I am really sorry for you."
"Third sister, I'm not suffering. I'll be wherever my parents are."
Hearing Jiang Zixuan's words, Lin Zhixue couldn't help but have red eyes again.
When she looked up, she saw Jiang Nanyuan and Jiang Wenjin standing beside her. She walked up to them, pulled them over, and introduced them to each other.
They were chatting when someone slowly walked towards them from the city gate.
Jiang Nanyuan's attention was drawn to the scene where two soldiers were pushing a cart towards them.
A man was lying on the cart, covered with a gray mattress, and there were two men and a woman beside him.
Except for the woman, the two men were injured to some extent. As they got closer, Jiang Nanyuan recognized the woman who was walking towards them.
It turned out to be the woman they met at the city gate that night!
How could she be exiled? Who was she? Which family did she belong to?
Jiang Nanyuan was filled with confusion, but before she could remain confused for long, her gaze fixed on the man lying on the cart.
Seeing his silver hair, Jiang Nanyuan was horrified.
How could it be him? How did he end up here? Who was he?
In addition to being surprised, she suddenly felt guilty and looked away.
Not long after she moved her gaze away, she heard crying sounds coming from the direction of the city gate, and Jiang Nanyuan's attention was drawn there again.
After seeing the people at the city gate, Jiang Nanyuan patted Lin Zhixue, who was still chatting, with a playful smile on his face.
"Mom, look over there and see who's coming?"
When Lin Zhixue heard Jiang Nanyuan's words, she looked up and looked towards the city gate.
When she saw several people slowly approaching, she was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Yuan'er...they...how come they were captured?"
