"Oh? I wonder what evidence Sixth Sister has?"
Jiang Youhui took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to Jiang Segu, saying, "Sixth Sister will understand once she reads it."
Jiang Segu opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read the words on it word by word.
The envelope was signed with the name of Jiang Er's mother from her maternal family. The contents of the envelope were mostly about the dirty deeds that Master Jiang had done outside, including the truth that Jiang Segu had always wanted to know.
The truth about why Xiao's mother's three daughters died and why they went insane.
It turned out that when Emerald went back to her parents' home that day, she was supposed to ask Mama Xiao's opinion on behalf of Cheng Yun. However, Mama Xiao, who was not on duty that day, was summoned back to the Marquis's mansion because of a dispute between two rough maids.
Fearing that her mother would be implicated, Jade also came to the Marquis's residence.
She was, after all, Xiao Mama's daughter, so the old woman at the back gate naturally gave her some face and let her into the Marquis's mansion.
Emerald, who had just entered the mansion, heard from a maid that Madam Hou had been summoned by Old Madam Jiang. Anxious, she went to wait at the entrance of Zhaotai Courtyard.
He was waiting for his mother to come out, but instead he encountered Master Jiang, who had come to pay his respects to Madam Jiang.
Jadeite was handsome, which caught the eye of Master Jiang, who asked if Jadeite was someone who served at Zhaotai Courtyard.
Jadeite signifies status.
Jiang, who was obsessed with having a son, had long heard of the reputation of jadeite as a symbol of male offspring and had even entertained wicked thoughts about it.
However, since Jade is currently the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, Master Jiang has not yet made a move.
When the person he had been longing for appeared before him, Master Jiang naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He tricked Jade into going to the garden and ruined it!
Afterwards, Master Jiang promised that as long as Emerald could give him a son, he would take her into his household as a concubine. He originally thought that even if Emerald was unwilling, she would not dare to expose the matter. However, Emerald looked weak but had a strong personality and directly tried to kill herself in front of Master Jiang.
Fearing that someone might die, and even more so that his son, whom he had just conceived, might be lost, Master Jiang knocked the man unconscious and sent him back to the Xiao family.
After waking up, Jade hanged herself at her parents' home.
Master Jiang was initially afraid, but when he saw that the Xiao family did not cause any trouble, he thought the Xiao family was cowardly. He was still greedy and set his sights on Biyu, who looked somewhat like Emerald. He found an excuse to call Biyu to Yulingzhai and humiliated her!
Unable to bear the humiliation, Biyu took advantage of a moment when no one was looking and threw herself into the river.
Qingyu was also seduced by Master Jiang on that day!
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Master Jiang's evil deeds.
The more Jiang Segu looked, the colder he felt!
After Jiang Youhui and Jiang Segu finished reading, they dealt Jiang Segu another heavy blow.
"Actually, I saw Mama Xiao go to Luomei Courtyard. Although I don't know what Mama Xiao and my mother talked about, a few days later, there was the incident of Mama Xiao leading people to search Sixth Sister's courtyard late at night. I think there might be some connection between these events."
Jiang Segu gritted his teeth, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and handed the letter back to Jiang Youhui, his face calm and composed.
"How did Seventh Sister get such an important letter from Second Aunt?"
"This is not the original; I wrote it down from memory."
"That doesn't really count as evidence! What if Seventh Sister just made it up out of thin air?"
Jiang Youhui's face turned deathly pale. "Sixth Sister still doesn't believe me? But what good would it do me to lie to you?"
"Sister also wants to ask Seventh Sister, what do you hope to gain by telling me all this?"
"I want to leave the Marquis's mansion!"
Another departure?
As Jiang Segu felt a chill run down his spine, Jiang Youhui took off her clothes and turned around, exposing her scarred back to Jiang Segu.
Jiang Segu was stunned when he saw his back covered in wounds.
Jiang Youhui put on her clothes and said in a calm tone, "Sixth Sister, do you now know why I left the Marquis's mansion?"
Jiang Segu snapped out of her shock. "You could have told Grandmother..."
"The old lady has never interfered in matters of the inner quarters. Even if I were to complain, do you think the old lady would intervene?"
Jiang Segu remained silent.
Neither my eldest uncle nor my second uncle were my grandmother's biological sons, and my grandmother never interfered in the affairs of the eldest and second wives' families.
"And what about grandfather?"
Jiang Youhui looked at Jiang Segu with a wry smile, "Does Sixth Sister think Grandfather would bother with me?"
"But you are only nine years old. Where can you go if you leave the Marquis's mansion? How will you make a living?"
"It's all thanks to my sixth sister. Every year during the holidays, when my aunt makes jewelry for my sister, she also gives me some. I can sell some of it and buy a house."
As for making a living in the future, I am not very talented, but I have some talent in calligraphy and painting. I can copy books for others and also make a living by imitating some ancient paintings..."
When talking about life after leaving the Marquis's mansion, Jiang Youhui's eyes shone with longing.
"These things still need to be discussed carefully. You should go back and rest, and let me think about them properly!"
"Sister, you should get some rest too!"
After Jiang Youhui left, Qiaohe couldn't hold back any longer.
"Second Madam is too cruel! Seventh Miss is only nine years old, how could she be so heartless? Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how could she be so cruel!"
Yes, even tigers don't eat their cubs, so how come the people in this noble household are worse than livestock!
Jiang Segu rubbed his tangled head, feeling that the waters of this Marquis's mansion were indeed much muddier than they appeared!
Therefore, she didn't notice that Qinghong, who had been silent all along, had vacant eyes and seemed to have lost her soul...
Qiaohe was still ranting and rave about Jiang Ernainai's heartlessness, but seeing that neither her young lady nor Qinghong had responded, she lowered her voice and remained silent.
After a long while, she couldn't help but speak again: "Miss, according to Seventh Miss, Mama Xiao is Second Madam's person. Does that mean Mama Hou also listens to Second Madam? And what about those two old women!"
If what Seventh Sister said is true, then it should be so!
But what about Zilan?
Or perhaps she's Zilan's older sister!
Why couldn't we find any trace of her even after searching the entire backyard?
Was she not even listed in the Marquis's mansion's personnel register, or was she not even on duty in the backyard?
Is there any way to check all the maids in the front yard as well?
Just as Jiang Segu was deep in thought, Qingying returned.
"Lai Pozi said that Li Xu's wife was the one from that night. Qiaolian interrogated Li Xu's wife, and Li Xu's wife said that a woman named Zilan pushed Hou Mama down the artificial hill!"
It's Zilan again!
Jiang Segu, still suspicious, asked again, "Didn't you ask Li Xu's wife what she was doing in the garden at that time?"
"I asked, and they said it was a nighttime rendezvous with her lover."
Qiaohe stepped forward and scolded, "Oh dear, why are you saying this in front of the young lady!"
"Wasn't it her who asked that?"
"When a girl asks, can't you be a little more tactful?"
Qingying glanced at Qiaohe and said coldly, "I've already been very tactful! Li Xu's family is saying..."
Qiaohe tried to cover Qingying's mouth with both hands, but Qingying dodged her with a quick movement. Qiaohe was so angry that she stomped her feet. "I told you not to mention such filthy things in front of the young lady!"
"Alright, you may all leave! Qinghong, go to Deputy Commander Gu and fetch the booklet containing information about Prince Jing'an!"
When Qinghong returned with the booklet, the light in Jiangse Valley's house stayed on until the second watch of the night...
