Madam Jiang felt guilty and didn't pay attention to these things, and Kang Kai, having spent the whole night gambling, also didn't notice them, but he did notice the food box on the table.
Kang Kai stared at the food box with a gleam in his eyes, quickly opened the lid, and immediately frowned when he saw that it contained food instead of what he wanted.
"You came all this way just to bring me these things?"
Madam Jiang forced a smile and took out all the food from the food box.
"I was just worried you'd go hungry without anyone to take care of you, so I brought some food along!"
Kang Kai looked at Madam Jiang with suspicion, somewhat flattered, "You, a woman, would be so kind?"
"If you don't want to eat, that's fine, I haven't eaten yet anyway."
As she spoke, Madam Jiang picked up her chopsticks, took a soup dumpling, and placed it on the plate in front of her. Just as she was about to eat it, Kang Kai took the plate away.
He had spent a whole day and night in the casino, and he was indeed quite hungry.
He simply didn't trust the woman in front of him!
If this woman doesn't have the heart to kill him, she'll call him by the name backwards if he keeps asking her for money all the time!
Madam Jiang did not blame Kang Kai for his behavior. Instead, she took another small plate, picked up a soup dumpling, and ate it elegantly in small bites.
Perhaps it was because Madam Jiang's eating manners were too appetizing, but Kang Kai felt a strong itch in his heart!
He was a normal man who hadn't been with a woman for a long time.
Upon suddenly seeing a plump and beautiful woman who had once been his woman, Kang Kai's throat tightened. Seeing Madam Jiang's rosy lips moving, Kang Kai threw down the half-eaten bun, panting heavily as he stepped forward and pulled Madam Jiang up.
Madam Jiang was flustered, but she suppressed the urge to scream and said in a low voice, "What are you doing! Let go of me!"
Seeing that she dared not cry out, and knowing that she couldn't bear the humiliation, Kang Kai's hands became even more unruly. His mouth, smeared with soup dumpling oil and smelling slightly foul, began to nibble at Madam Jiang's face.
Even so, he didn't forget to reply to Madam Jiang, "You've delivered this fat sheep to my doorstep, how can I not have a taste!"
Madam Jiang, suppressing her nausea, pushed Kang Kai away, saying, "Even if we're going to do *that*, we need to fill our stomachs first!"
"Let me feed you first!"
Kang Kai's hand had already reached under Madam Jiang's skirt. Madam Jiang was about to raise her hand to hit Kang Kai, but her raised hand unconsciously wrapped around Kang Kai's neck.
As her clothes were removed one by one, a sliver of clarity emerged from Madam Jiang's chaotic mind.
She came to poison Kang Kai!
How did things turn out like this?
It's because I haven't experienced something like this in so long that...
Zi Jin, who was guarding the door, heard Madam Jiang's soft moans coming from inside and was struck dumb!
First Madam... what is First Madam doing!
At the same time, Qinghong gestured to Jiang Segu, who was standing outside the courtyard.
Jiang Segu gestured for Qiaohe to knock on the door.
Upon hearing the knock, Zi Jin was terrified. Forgetting all propriety, she rushed into the room, jumping up and down as she awkwardly turned to the side, saying, "Madam, something terrible has happened! Someone's here!"
However, Madam Jiang, who was completely absorbed in the moment, could not hear these words. She gasped softly with each movement of the person on top of her.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qinghong jumped down from the roof and opened the door for Jiang Segu.
After Jiang Segu entered, he said to Qinghong, "Go and fetch a bucket of cold water."
Then she walked towards the door, and hearing the dirty noises coming from inside, she coughed lightly and called out, "Auntie."
The crisp sound was like a thunderclap from the heavens, striking Madam Jiang so hard that she froze, as if she had lost her soul, and also causing Zi Jin to turn around abruptly.
6. Why is Miss Liu here?
"What happens inside is probably not something a young lady like me can see. Ah Zi will wait for Auntie outside!"
After saying that, he gestured for Qinghong to go inside.
A bucket of cold water was poured over Kang Kai's head, chilling him to the bone.
Kang Kai wiped the water off his face and cursed, "That bastard ruined my mood at a time like this, just wait and see how I deal with him..."
Before Kang Kai could finish speaking, Qing Hong knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.
"Miss Zijin, hurry up and help the First Madam tidy up her appearance, the Sixth Miss is still waiting outside!"
After Qinghong finished speaking, she picked up the bucket and stood at the door.
Madam Jiang's body was also splashed with cold water.
The cool well water poured over her burning body brought her back to her senses. "Zijin, help me up!"
Perhaps it was because the First Madam's tone was too calm that Zijin also calmed down. He helped First Madam Jiang push Kang Kai down and then used a silk handkerchief to wipe the water that had splashed on First Madam Jiang's face.
"Madam, this dress..."
When they left, Zijin had prepared clothes for Madam Jiang, but the clothes were in the carriage, and the carriage was now...
Madam Jiang waved her hand, "It's alright, help me put it on!"
Jiang Segu has already encountered things that are even more embarrassing than this, so what is there to be afraid of!
With Zijin's help, Madam Jiang dressed herself and tidied her hair before leaving the room.
At this moment, Jiang Segu was already sitting on a low stool in the courtyard, drinking tea.
Madam Jiang sat down on the low stool opposite her, the tightness in her throat preventing her from asking the question that was on her mind.
Jiang Segu spoke at that moment.
"Aunt, there's no need to panic. Just answer a few questions for me, and I'll pretend I didn't see what happened today!"
It's not that they didn't know, but that they didn't see it!
Madam Jiang's heart, pounding wildly, suddenly felt stuck in her throat.
After a long while, she finally found her voice, "What do you want to ask?"
"Was Aunt Lin a gift from your eldest sister?"
Madam Jiang said, "Consort Hui's wet nurse fell seriously ill, so I assigned Lin Mama to her."
"My aunt probably doesn't know yet that Lin Mama is the one who strangled my mother!"
Madam Jiang was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "Although Mama Lin is my person, I haven't asked her to do anything for me in a long time!"
"Aunt, there's no need to rush. Azi hasn't finished speaking yet!"
Jiang Segu took a sip of tea before continuing, "I heard that after her daughter died, Madam Lin frequently visited Jiyue Courtyard. I wonder what she was discussing with my aunt?"
“During that time, Consort Hui was not always in your grandmother’s courtyard. As her stewardess, Mama Lin naturally wanted to go and get close to her, but she couldn’t just go there rashly. That’s why she came to my place several times, begging me to take her to Zhaotai Courtyard!”
I was afraid of disturbing the old lady, so I only took her to Zhaotaiyuan once. You can easily ask the people at Zhaotaiyuan about this; they all know!
Jiang Segu lowered his eyes, "But Lin Mama is ultimately closer to my aunt, so I can't help but suspect that it was you, my aunt, who instigated Lin Mama to kill my mother!"
"Azi, you can't say things like that! Why would I kill your mother? Besides, what evidence do you have that I killed your mother?"
Jiang Segu asked calmly, "Right now, whoever benefits the most is naturally the most suspicious!"
