Chapter 30 Qiu Nong burst into tears: Madam, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do
Without saying anything more, Rong Yue took Chen Yingyu to other cabinets on the second floor to look at jewelry.
Shi Xiaoya, who arrived last, walked up to Jiang Yunzheng and placed her wrist on Jiang Yunzheng's arm very familiarly. "Sister-in-law, so you have an appointment with the princess and the others today. Why didn't you tell me in advance? I can come out with you. I'm so bored at home alone."
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at Shi Xiaoya indifferently: Are you sure you want to go crazy here?
Shi Xiaoya moved her hand away angrily and snorted.
Jiang Yunzheng curled her lips and said, "Mrs. Qin has you at home reading. How can I, as your sister-in-law, take the lead in disturbing you?"
As soon as the words fell, Qi Yanyu burst out laughing.
Shi Xiaoya's face flushed red. She felt so angry that she had no place to vent, so she went somewhere else to look at jewelry.
Seeing that her two good sisters were there, Qi Yanyu asked the shopkeeper to take out the jewelry that had been customized in advance.
The waiter held up a tray and brought out a full set of headgear. When the velvet cloth was lifted, the whole place fell silent for a moment, as if the room had become much brighter.
The pearls sparkled in the morning sun, emitting a light and elegant luster. Each pearl was uniform in color and of proportional size. The hairpin alone was made of a thumb-sized pearl, surrounded by a layer of tiny sapphires for embellishment. Further down was very precious jade, and the hairpin body connected to it was made of pure silver. The hairpin alone was enough to make people unable to take their eyes off it.
Not to mention the remaining necklaces, earrings, and tassel hairpins.
It is no exaggeration to say that this set is priceless.
A hint of admiration flashed across Jiang Yunzheng's eyes. This headpiece was elegant yet noble, and the quality of the pearls was just right for a little girl.
Xu Mianmian couldn't help but admire: "Xingrui, this is the birthday gift your brother gave you. It's so gorgeous."
Qi Yanyu's birthday is on the tenth day of September, the day after the Double Ninth Festival.
This was also the first time Qi Yanyu saw the finished product, and she couldn't hide her joy. "I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. You haven't seen what the prince made for his sister-in-law. To say it's luxurious is too vulgar. It's simply made by a master craftsman, one of a kind in the world."
Jiang Yunzheng was drinking her tea when she suddenly choked.
"Sister Jiang, are you okay?"
Xu Mianmian and Qi Yanyu looked worried. Jiang Yunzheng shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Speaking of her deceased sister-in-law, Qi Yanyu sighed softly.
Xu Mianmian didn't know what to say. She knew that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion didn't like the Xu family. Qi Yanyu was a good person, and Brother Jiashu was also a good person.
Xu Mianmian didn't know how to balance the relationship between the two.
Jiang Yunzheng broke the silence and asked with a smile, "What about Zhenzhen?"
Qi Yanyu thought of her niece's chubby little face and began to talk non-stop: "Zhenzhen is the little ancestor of the whole mansion. She would pluck the moon and the stars together if she wanted one. Every time her brother goes out of town, the toys he brings back for Zhenzhen alone would fill five carriages, not to mention food and clothing."
Jiang Yunzheng lowered her eyes and smiled.
Rong Yue and the other person who had gone to look at the jewelry earlier also came back and were amazed when they saw the headpiece.
Chen Yingyu couldn't help but wonder, "How can there be such pink and purple pearls in the world?"
A voice interrupted, "There are so many strange and bizarre things in the world. Oh, you're at the border, so I guess you haven't seen anything like this before."
Shi Xiaoya looked at Chen Yingyu with disdain and provocation, and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yingyu's face turned pale and her eyes reddened, and she looked like she was almost crying because of Shi Xiaoya.
Rong Yue looked surprised.
Jiang Yunzheng looked at Shi Xiaoya and said, "Since you can't speak, I will report to Madam Qin when I return home and ask the teacher to teach you from beginning to end what humility, propriety, righteousness, and shame are."
Shi Xiaoya didn't expect Jiang Yunzheng to be so bold as to insult her.
For a moment, he was furious: "You——"
Jiang Yunzheng smiled: "How about me?"
Shi Xiaoya pursed her lips and inadvertently saw Wu Lu rubbing his hands together, ready to fight. She had seen Wu Lu beating someone, and he looked extremely ferocious.
Shi Xiaoya took a step back and hurried downstairs with a pale face.
Rong Yue and Chen Yingyu both looked unhappy and left after not staying for long.
Qi Yanyu sighed in admiration: "It's amazing that Fourth Miss Shi has grown up safely with such a personality."
The remaining three people finished their meal at the Jiangnan Bank Restaurant and then went home.
Jiang Yunzheng did not return to the Shi Mansion, but went to an inn in the West City.
The West Market was a mixed crowd, and Wuyou stayed there for two or three days. Qiu Nong was fed cartilage powder and tied up and locked up, and no one in the inn noticed.
When Wu Yu saw Jiang Yunzheng, tears filled her eyes. She had been so worried about him these past two days.
That day, Wuyou hid in the inn and waited for the government officials to come to find him, so as to avoid the trouble of the soldiers rescuing him. Wuyou said that the young lady of the Shi family was also abducted by the Qinglian Sect.
Later, Qiu Nong was brought here and locked up by her.
Jiang Yunzheng glanced towards the corner, where Qiu Nong's eyes were filled with fear. "What on earth are you going to do? I always listen to Madam. Please don't kill me, Madam. Please let me go, I really know I was wrong."
Jiang Yunzheng leaned forward slightly and said, "It's creepy to say whether to kill someone or not in broad daylight."
Qin was very suspicious and would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go.
Jiang Yunzheng's voice was gentle, and her beautiful face was smiling slightly, with two dimples on her lips. What she said was chilling: "The Qin family hired assassins to kill people and illegally traded people for ghost marriages. And you are suspected of poisoning and murdering the master family, and participating in the Qin family's harmful activities. If I let you go, will the Qin family still spare your life?"
Qiu Nong was so scared that tears streamed down her face: "Young Madam, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do."
When Qiu Nong was first arrested, he was still quite tough, but after being detained for two days, he didn't even have the strength to yell for help.
Jiang Yunzheng stood up: "Remember what you said."
"If you testify for me, you might even be able to save your life."
Jiang Yunzheng told Wu Yu to continue guarding and she returned to the Shi Mansion.
Jiang Yunzheng wanted to take a look at the shop again when she came out this time. She asked the coachman to drive back to Shi Mansion first. After confirming that no one was following her, Jiang Yunzheng went to the pawnshop.
After leaving the dental clinic, Jiang Yunzheng turned into a small alley.
Song's dowry shop was originally managed by someone she trusted, but five years ago, the owner of the silk shop fell seriously ill, and Qin took the opportunity to replace the manager with one of her own.
Manager Li took medicine for four or five years, and even spent all his family's wealth on it, but there was no effect. When he was about to drink arsenic to end his life, someone came to his house.
Jiang Yunzheng snatched the thing from Manager Li's hand.
Manager Li's son ran out of the kitchen and stammered, "You, you, you... who are you?"
Manager Li's face looked pale, similar to Song's appearance when she was poisoned before. Jiang Yunzheng had a rough idea in her mind.
"Madam, may I ask who you are?"
Jiang Yunzheng looked at the person on the bed and said straight to the point: "I am Jiang Yunzheng, Madam Song's daughter-in-law. I can save you."
Manager Li was startled and quickly told his stuttering son to bow. However, Manager Li was puzzled. Wasn't the young lady also bedridden?
"It's my fault that I'm not in good health. My master is kind and sends a doctor to treat me every month. What's the matter with you, Madam?"
Jiang Yunzheng helped the man up and said without hiding anything, "Qin has committed many evil deeds. The poison in your body is closely related to her."
Manager Li hadn't reacted yet: "Huh?"
The Li family had paper and pen, and Jiang Yunzheng rewrote a prescription: "There's something wrong with the medicine you take every month. Here are twenty taels of silver and the prescription. Have your son buy some new medicine and take it. It will work after the first dose."
Manager Li was a smart man and quickly realized: "So you're trying to harm me. No wonder..."
Jiang Yunzheng finally spoke: "There is something that I do need Manager Li's help with."
Steward Li: "It's up to the young lady to speak."
Jiang Yunzheng left the Li family and returned to Shi Mansion. On the way, he passed by the Taoist temple again. The Taoist priest he met in Shi Mansion last time was performing a ritual.
Jiang Yunzheng frowned slightly, she always felt that Qin had a close relationship with the Taoist priest.
