Chapter 24: Beating Jiang Nanfeng
While waiting for the court doctor, Jiang Nanfeng looked at Lin Zhixue in confusion.
It was really strange. He wanted to do something with Lin Zhixue last night, but why did he suddenly feel weak and sleepy and fall asleep?
That would have been fine, but when he woke up he was still sleeping on the floor. Not only that, his face was also hurting terribly.
"A-choo, A-choo."
He slept on the floor last night without a blanket, and the weather is still so cold, it's obvious that he caught a cold.
After waiting for a while, the court doctor came and took Jiang Nanfeng's pulse.
"My Lord, did you sleep on the floor last night? Could you really have such a severe case of typhoid fever?"
Jiang Nanfeng didn't know what was going on. He probably woke up from the ground in the morning and lay here all night last night.
He looked at Lin Zhixue suspiciously. Could it be that she was still angry? She did all this, but how did she do it?
She was able to beat herself up like this without anyone noticing. Could this still be the eldest daughter of the Lin family that I knew before?
Jiang Nanfeng wanted to get angry, but when he thought of the dowry Lin Zhixue had on hand, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
The court doctor prescribed some medicine for him. He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he left with Luo Yurou.
Just as he left, Lin Zhixue covered her mouth and laughed on the bed.
She hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time. When she thought about beating Jiang Nanfeng yesterday, she suddenly felt very satisfied.
Luo Yurou helped Jiang Nanfeng back to her yard and looked at him with heartache. There was not only heartache in her eyes, but more of resentment.
"My Lord, didn't you promise me that you had no feelings for him? Then why did you stay in her yard last night?
Didn't you promise me that you would divorce her?"
When Luo Yurou said this, her tone was sour, and it was obvious that she was jealous.
Jiang Nanfeng also knew that she was unhappy. He reached out and pulled her to sit next to him and explained to him.
"Rou'er, don't misunderstand me. Nothing happened between her and me last night. I went to her yard because I was thinking about the dowry she had.
You also know that all the valuables in our mansion were stolen overnight last night, and now we have no money on hand.
If we can trick Lin Zhixue into giving us her dowry, we'll have money to spend."
Although she only had half of the dowry on hand, this half would at least cover the expenses of their mansion for five years.
Luo Yurou felt better when she heard that Jiang Nanfeng approached Lin Zhixue because of money.
But she changed her mind and became unhappy again. If the Marquis wanted the silver, why didn't he tell her?
Although the dowry she brought was stolen last night, it is not impossible for her to go back and ask her father for some money.
Why bother asking Lin Zhixue for her dowry?
"My Lord, don't worry. I'll go back to my mother's house soon. I'll ask my father to move some money over to help us out."
Luo Yurou didn't know what was happening outside, nor did she know that their Luo Wang Mansion had also been robbed last night.
If not for this, why would he bother to please Lin Zhixue?
Jiang Nanfeng sighed helplessly and told her about this matter.
After hearing this, Luo Yurou covered her mouth in surprise and was stunned for a long time.
How could this be possible? Who was so powerful that they could steal so many officials' belongings in one night?
"My Lord, who is this thief? He is so powerful. Is he just one person or a gang?" When Luo Yurou said this, she shook her head again.
"Look at what I'm thinking. This must have been done by a gang."
Otherwise, she would never have believed that one person could have emptied so many houses at the same time overnight.
"Okay, Rou'er, let's not talk about this for now. I'm a little tired. I'll rest here with you for a while."
Luo Yurou saw Jiang Nanfeng and kept yawning and sneezing from time to time.
She asked someone to boil some medicine for him and helped him go to bed.
As for Liu Shuang, she already knew everything that happened today, and she had many spies in this mansion.
She is almost always the first to know about anything that happens in the mansion.
She already knew everything that happened in Lin Zhixue's yard.
When she learned that Jiang Nanfeng was getting close to Lin Zhixue because he wanted the dowry she had, she panicked for a moment.
If Jiang Nanfeng knew that he had already taken the dowry and used a lot of it, and that it was now stolen, he would probably make himself suffer the consequences.
No, this matter must not be exposed.
She had to find a way to deal with Lin Zhixue first. By the way, she had been having people poison Lin Zhixue before, and her body should be collapsing soon.
I guess if she were given another strong dose of medicine and died, no one would know the secret.
After she dies, Xiaohong can no longer stay.
The condition that allowed him to make Xiaohong betray Lin Zhixue was very simple. That was to wait until her son, Jiang Wenjin, got married and let her be his concubine.
It's ridiculous that just this one condition tempted her to betray Lin Zhixue.
"Lüzhu, go call Qiuyue over."
She had already sent a message to the person in the palace, and her plan was also going to be implemented.
First get rid of Lin Zhixue's annoying daughter, and then she will deal with her slowly.
When Luzhu heard Liu Shuang's instructions, she immediately ran towards Jiang Nanyuan's yard.
When they arrived outside the Jianjia Courtyard, Luzhu did not go in directly, but whistled twice not far outside the courtyard.
This is also their special way of communicating. When Chunhua and Qiuyue heard the whistle, they looked at each other.
At the same time, he glanced at Jiang Nanyuan who was drinking tea in the house.
"My lady, I have a sudden stomachache. I wonder if I ate something bad? Can I go to the toilet?"
Chunhua and Qiuyue didn't know who Luzhu was looking for. She gave Qiuyue a wink and covered her stomach to ask for instructions.
Jiang Nanyuan looked up and glanced at her indifferently, then waved to her.
Chunhua asked for Jiang Nanyuan's consent and she immediately left the room.
Qiuyue saw her go out, and then she spoke to Jiang Nanyuan, "Miss, it's Aunt Liu's people who are here to look for him.
The whistle just now was a hidden whistle."
After Qiuyue finished speaking, she couldn't help but complain in her heart that Chunhua was really stupid. The eldest lady's medical skills were so great, how could she not see that she was pretending.
"Oh? Then guess what Liu Shuang wants to see her about?"
Qiuyue shook her head helplessly, "I am stupid and don't know." She really couldn't guess it.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't know what she wanted to do, but she wasn't afraid anyway.
Just as the two were thinking, Chunhua ran back. As soon as she entered the house, she lowered her head and stood in the direction of Qiuyue.
He immediately winked at her desperately.
Qiuyue immediately understood what she meant. It seemed that she was here to find her.
She didn't dare to go out immediately, but looked at Jiang Nanyuan first.
She wanted to ask for her consent, but she found that Jiang Nanyuan had been drinking tea and looking at the sketchbook with her head down, and didn't even look at her.
Just when she was thinking about making an excuse to go out, Jiang Nanyuan spoke up, "Qiuyue, go out and buy me some snacks. I want to eat osmanthus cake."
