Chapter 166 Overturn the table!
"It seems that the Queen Mother intends to cut off her own arm and give up Xuan Yao."
Although there was a smile on Xie Zhao's lips, there was a coldness in the depths of his eyes.
Even if a niece has been trained for more than ten years, she will be kicked away if she hinders the interests of the empress dowager.
Xie Zhao thought for a moment and gently stroked Jiang Yuzhu's cheek with one hand.
There was an itchy feeling on her cheek. In her deep sleep, Jiang Yuzhu loosened her grip on Xie Zhao's hand and slapped it on her face, muttering, "There are mosquitoes..."
After being patted, Jiang Yuzhu twisted her body inward and turned her back to Xie Zhao.
After being freed, Xie Zhao stood up and went straight to the outside, asking, "So, all the Xuan family's personnel have been withdrawn?"
“No.”
The subordinates were also confused. Apparently, most of the Xuan family had given up on looking for someone, and only a few were still persisting. It seemed that this was not the Queen Mother's order.
Xie Zhao untied the bandage on his arm and stared at the teeth marks on his arm in a trance. After a long while, he said, "Isn't this better? The Xuan family is treacherous and they pretend to obey but actually disobey."
The Queen Mother gave up Xuan Yao for the sake of the overall situation, which was bound to cause dissatisfaction among the Xuan family. There were internal conflicts, and when they accumulated to a certain extent, they would turn against each other.
"Choose a time to withdraw our personnel, release the news about Xuan Yao, and wait for Xuan's family to rescue her."
Xie Zhao began to make arrangements to ensure that the party struggles in the capital became more chaotic.
"Master, there is one more thing, about Madam's cousin."
They were lying in ambush nearby and discovered two men in black circling a thatched house in the mountains. The two men were very skilled in body movements and were not members of the Xuan family. They seemed to be running towards Lu Yunxi.
"The strange thing is that Lu Yunxi did not leave, and was imprisoned with Xuan Yao, asking about Xuan Yao's well-being."
We had no idea what Lu Yunxi was planning and could not find out any useful information.
Xie Zhao said absentmindedly, "If you can't find out, don't continue investigating. Lu Yunxi is not a simple person. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared suddenly. He must have something to ask for when he came to Qingzhu Academy in Beijing."
Even if we find some clues, how do we know that it wasn't a bait deliberately dropped by Lu Yunxi?
If you care too much, you will easily lose your judgment and be led by the nose.
“Wait and see.”
Xie Zhao had enough patience to wait for the fox to show its tail.
When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Jiang Yuzhu had slept for a full night and her mind was clear.
Hongli came in with warm water, feeling relieved: "Madam, you look good."
"That's natural."
Jiang Yuzhu also marveled at her miraculous self-healing ability, and no villain could possibly mess with her mentality.
Since there were no dazzling shops around, she would go for walks in the mountains and pick fruits, and still live a happy life.
Seeing this, Hongli was completely relieved and kept muttering, "Madam, the carriage has been waiting for a long time. We can take you back home after dinner."
Overnight, Xuan Yao was rescued by the Xuan family, so his wife no longer had to hide.
"There's news from the Jiang Mansion. If you don't go back, it will be a mess."
Upon learning that Jiang Yuzhu was abducted, Jiang Fulu did not even attend the morning court. Everyone in the Jiang family went crazy and bit anyone they saw.
Anyone who had a grudge, even if they had had an argument before, would be visited by the Jiang family and would not give in.
"There was an uproar in the capital, and everyone hated the mastermind who hid well and dragged innocent people into the water."
Hongli was very fluent in gossiping, and her little mouth kept chattering, "You are not in a hurry to pick the fruits. It is more important to go back to Jiang Mansion to put out the fire."
Jiang Yuzhu sipped the dumpling soup, paused, and asked awkwardly, "Dad hasn't done anything yet, right?"
No wonder in the book, when Jiang Yuzhu died, all the members of the Jiang family went crazy criticizing her. This is indeed what father Jiang Fulu would do.
The Jiang Mansion was a gift from the previous emperor. There is a spring in the back garden that flows continuously, sweetly and clearly.
The Queen Mother has been coveting the mansion for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity to snatch it and use it as a residence for the Xuan family.
In order to disgust the Queen Mother, the Jiang family would do anything they could, even if it meant injuring a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of their own.
Hongli suppressed a smile and said, "No, the master learned that you were safe, and the queen mother was sick because of anger."
Jiang Yuzhu was very interested, and asked with a slightly raised tone: "Oh?"
It has only been one day, and the Queen Mother has seen strong winds and waves before, so she won't fall down.
Seeing that her wife was suspicious, Hongli said hurriedly, "It's true. There are rumors in the capital that the Queen Mother was the one who kidnapped you. In order to clear her suspicion, the Queen Mother deliberately pushed her niece Xuan Yao out."
When the news reached the harem, the queen mother was still trying to hold on, but after hearing the rumor, she became furious and fainted in rage.
The imperial physician said that the empress dowager was suffering from a heart attack due to anger and she would probably need to take medicine for some time to recuperate.
"The eldest master beat up Feng Qing, and the eldest young lady's wife also revealed a secret."
In just over a day, the capital city was already bustling with activity.
No one discussed Jiang Yuzhu's reputation, but all the high-ranking officials in the capital were sharing gossip.
Jiang Yuzhu spat out a mouthful of soup, and quickly touched the corner of her lips with a handkerchief and said angrily: "Hongli, you have to be so surprised. Can't you just say it all at once? Why did you even involve my sister-in-law?"
Other people's madness is just a reflection of their true nature, but it's not the case with my eldest sister-in-law, Xiao Chen. She is born with a dough-like temperament, so soft and weak that she can't bear to step on even an ant to death.
"This morning, when the eldest young lady went out, she happened to run into the Feng family's carriage. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but she realized that the carriage was heading towards the outer city."
Xiao Chen thought that she could find some clues by following the Feng family's carriage, but after arriving at the outer city, Wei Jing concealed herself tightly and changed to an ordinary carriage.
Now, Xiao Chen became even more suspicious.
Wei Jing changed carriages. Xiao Chen was worried that the Jiang Mansion's carriage would be recognized, so she was cautious and changed to another one and continued to follow.
Soon, Wei Jing left the city and went to a clinic in the outer city for medical treatment.
"After Wei Jing left, the eldest young lady sent her maid to get information, saying that Wei Jing's maid had lost the prescription and asked the old doctor to write another one. After careful investigation, she found out that Wei Jing had contracted a dirty disease from Feng Qing!"
After hearing the explosive news coming out of Hongli's mouth, Jiang Yuzhu remained calm and was not surprised at all.
Organ disease is mentioned many times in the book, but the one who suffers is the original owner.
On the way back after dinner, the carriage passed by the gate of Lin's mansion. The mansion was in a mess, and the maids and old women looked solemn and came and went in a hurry.
Hongli lifted the car curtain and looked out, and soon spotted a familiar face.
"Madam, I recognize the maid who is in charge of cleaning at the Lin family. Why don't we go and find out?"
Judging from the situation, something must have happened.
Jiang Yuzhu poured a cup of tea, curiosity got the better of her, and she waved her hand and said, "Go."
About a quarter of an hour later, Hongli returned in a hurry and the carriage slowly set off.
"Madam, Lin Moyue has committed suicide!"
The Lin family must have kept this kind of news secret. The head maid knew the seriousness of the matter and kept her mouth shut.
Hongli once helped the little maid she met out of trouble and got the truth out of her without any effort.
"Today, Madam Lin hosted a banquet for several ladies, intending to act as a matchmaker for her eldest daughter Lin Xinyue, who had just returned home after a divorce. Unexpectedly, she caught Lin Moyue having a tryst with a man from outside the family, and the two even had physical contact!"
It is impossible to hide it in public.
Mrs. Lin couldn't bear the shock and fainted on the spot, while Lin Moyue was so ashamed that she hanged herself.
"From what the little girl said, the person is gone."
Hongli clicked his tongue twice, "That's why people shouldn't do evil, or retribution will come so quickly."
"Do you think there is such a coincidence?"
The smile on Jiang Yuzhu's lips was very faint, and there was a hint of understanding in her eyes.
The Queen Mother found out who was behind the plot, and this time she couldn't wait to settle the score, so she acted very quickly.
In the fight for the position of Queen, the Xuan family had no chance to sit at the table, so they simply overturned the table!
