Early the next morning, Jiang Fengyuan and Chen went to Cangwuyuan to pay their respects.
When the old lady heard the two people coming, she asked curiously, "What are they doing here?"
The old lady always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Nanny Wang was her confidant, and she did everything perfectly, so she was naturally relieved.
Besides, only the two of them knew about that matter.
Since the last time, Duke Anguo was sure that without the title of Duke's Mansion, Jiang Fengyuan would not have a good time in the army.
So today, he must have come to apologize and seek reconciliation.
Duke Anguo drank tea leisurely and put on airs.
“Wan Zeng, let them in.”
"yes."
The two of them came in slowly.
"son."
"Daughter-in-law"
"Greetings to my father and mother."
Without waiting for them to say anything, Chen and Jiang Fengyuan found chairs and sat down.
The old lady glared at them and said, "That's unruly."
Duke Anguo frowned, "The first of the 100 filial piety rules is to observe etiquette. Well, since you are here to admit your mistakes, then..."
"Dad was wrong," Jiang Fengyuan interrupted him, "Xin Niang and I are here to settle accounts today."
Hearing this, the old lady's heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Fengyuan continued, "During the trip to the temple, my son encountered two assassination attempts. I wonder if you know about this, Dad?"
"How outrageous!" Duke Anguo was furious.
I thought this rebellious son came to apologize, but I didn't expect him to dare to question him openly.
Seeing this, Wan Zeng hurriedly said, "Master, the master really doesn't know."
Jiang Fengyuan turned his gaze to the old lady beside him.
"In this case, mother should know."
The old lady pretended to be calm and said, "Nonsense, how would I know?"
She took a sip of tea to hide her inner panic.
Jiang Fengyuan smiled and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes.
"Bring the people in!"
Jiang Yuanyuan came in escorting someone.
At a glance, Nanny Wang looked flustered.
Jiang Yuanyuan dragged the man in front of the two men and said, "This man's name is Boss Mo, and he specializes in killing people for a living."
Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at the old lady and said, "It's a pity that we caught him. After interrogation, we found out that half a month ago, someone found him and used 1,000 taels of silver to buy the lives of all the people in our first house."
"I think my grandmother knows this person."
"How could I know them? You are so uneducated!" the old lady scolded. "Besides, how can you prove that I sent these people?"
"If you can't find evidence, you are slandering me!"
Jiang Fengyuan smiled sarcastically and pointed at the person on the ground, "Of course I don't know, but he knows."
Boss Mo raised his head and suddenly pointed at Nanny Wang who was beside the old lady.
"It's her, it's her! There's a mole at the corner of her eye."
Nanny Wang's legs went limp and she knelt on the ground.
"My Lord, Madam, I am innocent!"
Boss Mo was excited: "It's this voice. I can still hear it even if it turns into ashes."
Because the brothers suffered heavy casualties, Boss Mo asked for more money.
The old woman was so angry that she couldn't hold back and started arguing with them on the spot.
Therefore, Boss Mo remembered this voice.
The old lady's hands were shaking.
I thought it was foolproof, but I ended up falling flat on my face.
With witnesses and evidence, the old lady can’t run away now.
With a "pop", the teacup shattered.
"Tell me, was this done?" Duke Anguo's eyes were filled with anger.
Although Duke Anguo disliked the first wife, he would not allow anyone to take action against Jiang Yuansheng. After all, that was his hope.
The old lady knelt down tremblingly.
"Master, I really didn't know anything about this!" She pointed at Nanny Wang, "It was all Nanny Wang who did it!"
Nanny Wang was stunned and saw the old lady's threatening gaze again.
She gritted her teeth and tears streamed down her face.
Even if the old lady didn't say anything, she would take the blame for her.
She knew that look just now very well.
She didn't expect that the old lady would threaten her with plums.
At this moment, Nanny Wang felt heartbroken.
"Master, I did all this. The old lady doesn't know. Please forgive me for my many years of service."
Nanny Wang was anxious to clear the old lady of suspicion.
Chen thought of something and winked at Chunzhi.
Everyone's attention was on the old lady and no one noticed Chunzhi's departure.
Jiang Yuanyuan: "Two thousand taels is not a small amount, you alone can't come up with that much money.
Nanny Wang made up her mind: "The old lady trusted me and gave me the money box for safekeeping. I stole the old lady's money."
"In recent years, the young masters of the first house have become more promising, while the second house is weak. This old servant wants to eliminate these hidden dangers for the old lady."
Nanny Wang took all the blame on herself.
Jiang Fengyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Duke Anguo was furious: "Come here, beat this old slave to death with sticks!"
After fifty blows, Nanny Wang was silent.
The servants carried Nanny Wang's body away.
The old lady fell to the ground.
Nanny Wang had been with her for more than fifty years, and she was unwilling to push her out.
It’s all that bitch’s son’s fault!
Jiang Fengyuan looked calm, "Dad, Nanny Wang has already dealt with it, but the old lady allowed the servants to harm the master and spread the news at will, ruining my son's reputation. What should we do about this matter?"
They have been keeping silent for so many days, just for this moment.
"What else do you want! She is your mother!" Duke Anguo became increasingly dissatisfied with his eldest son.
Jiang Fengyuan: "My mother's tablet is in the ancestral hall. A lowly concubine wants to be my mother?"
Everyone in the Jiang family had forgotten, but he hadn't.
When my father married my mother, he was forced to swear that he would only have one wife in his life.
Therefore, the old lady is only a concubine until now.
Simply put, she was a concubine of lowly status.
