Chapter 134 She's Your Mother
He couldn't do that, and Jiang Wan Ning wouldn't allow him to do that either.
"I understand. Go quickly and catch up with the prince, stay by his side."
"His Highness has ordered me to remain in the capital to protect you," Mo Qing said.
“I have peonies and crabapples here, and I know martial arts myself, so I don’t need you. The border is dangerous, so you all protect the prince.”
After saying that, Jiang Wanning added, "Take good care of yourself too."
"Tell the prince that I am waiting for his triumphant return in the capital."
Mo Qing's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. The princess was not only thinking about the prince, but also about them, the servants.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Jiang Wan Ning said. "Remember to go find the peony before you leave."
“That child, knowing you were leaving, prepared a lot of food for you a few days ago, all of which wouldn’t spoil easily.”
Mo Qing raised her hand to wipe away her tears. "I understand. Thank you, Your Highness."
After seeing Mo Qing off, Jiang Wan Ning sent someone to invite Wu Xin Rui.
After waiting for more than half an hour, a servant came to report that Wu Xinrui had left through the back door early in the morning.
"Looks like she's guilty!" Shen Ruzhi slammed her fist on the table in anger. "I told you to kick her out back then."
"But you won't listen."
“It wasn’t her,” Jiang Wanning said with certainty. “She has no reason to.”
"She just likes Pei Yanchuan and used some tricks to drive a wedge between us, but she never went so far as to harm my mother."
"you mean?"
Jiang Wanning stood up. "Go find Jiang Wanru."
There was no one else but her.
Shen Ruzhi followed Jiang Wan Ning for two steps, then stepped back, picked up the vase on the table, and weighed it in her hand.
If a fight breaks out, this thing might crack open but not kill you.
I thought about it again and put it down. There was no evidence. It's better not to leave any injuries when you beat someone up.
"Ningning, teach me in a bit." Shen Ruzhi rolled up her sleeves.
Yu Hai said that beating people is illegal where they live, and he taught me a trick that I haven't tried yet.
Let's give it a try today.
As she spoke, Shen Ruzhi rushed in front of Jiang Wanning and headed towards Jiang Wanru's courtyard.
Jiang Wanning quickened her pace to catch up, and just as she reached the door, she saw Shen Ruzhi grabbing Jiang Wanru's ear and shoving her to the ground.
"You bastard, you poisoned me!" Shen Ruzhi said, straddling Jiang Wanru again.
He pinched the soft flesh around Jiang Wanru's waist.
"I told you to poison her, have you lost your conscience? The Marquis's mansion has been so good to you, and you actually poisoned your aunt?"
Unable to retaliate after being beaten, Jiang Wanru leisurely sipped her tea, waiting for the good news of Zhou's death.
Waiting for the heartbreaking good news from Jiang Wan Ning.
Before the smile on her lips could fade, Shen Ruzhi rushed in like a madwoman, grabbed her hair, and dragged her into the yard.
The servants in the courtyard initially wanted to intervene, but upon seeing the princess approach, they quietly withdrew.
"Shen Ruzhi, you madwoman, what are you doing?!" Jiang Wanru reached out to push Shen Ruzhi.
"What are you doing? I'm going to kill you." Shen Ruzhi leaned back tactically and then slammed his head hard against Jiang Wanru's head.
Both of them were instantly struck and saw stars.
Shen Ruzhi was already gripping Jiang Wanru's collar and wouldn't let go, "You almost killed four people."
Both women are pregnant. If all the pastries today were poisoned, then both of them would die.
It seems that she was cautious and afraid that the pastries she sent would be inspected, so she used this method.
Fortunately, Jiang Wanru was cautious; otherwise, she didn't even want to think about the consequences.
Jiang Wan Ning stood by and watched as Shen Ru Zhi did not lose ground, so she did not make a move.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What murder?" Jiang Wanru reached out to grab Chen Ruzhi. "I don't understand what you're saying."
“I’ve stayed here all day and haven’t left the mansion.”
"You can't just beat people up because your father is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
Jiang Wanru then looked at Jiang Wanning beside her, "Sister, are you really just going to watch her hit me like this?"
"Slap!" Shen Ruzhi slapped Jiang Wanru hard on the head. "What sister? She's your mother."
“You two are from different generations, you know that?” Shen Ruzhi grabbed Jiang Wanru’s hair. “Speaking of which, according to seniority, you should call me Auntie.”
"For your mother's sake, I'll teach you a lesson."
"How dare you poison your ancestor!"
Jiang Wanning is now Jiang Wanru's mother-in-law, so according to seniority, Zhou Shi is naturally her grandmother's generation.
"What poisoning? I don't understand what you're saying!" Jiang Wanru said sternly. "You can't use your current status to frame me."
"I'm going to report this to the authorities!"
Jiang Wanning indeed had no evidence, and Jiang Wanru had become smarter now, able to perfectly extricate herself even if things were exposed.
"Go ahead and sue me, you son of a bitch!" Shen Ruzhi punched him in the chest again. "You want to go and sue me with my father? Are you out of your mind?"
Jiang Wanru felt a metallic taste in her throat and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Wan Ning stopped Shen Ru Zhi after seeing that he had beaten her enough.
"Kneel down!" Jiang Wan Ning shouted.
"Why should I?" Jiang Wanru retorted.
Why should I kneel when I'm the one being beaten?
"Slap!" Jiang Wan Ning slapped him hard across the face. "I'm your mother-in-law. Is it wrong for me to tell you to kneel down and listen to my instructions?"
Do I really need to explain it to you in detail?
Jiang Wanru was so angry she felt like her molars were about to shatter, all because Jiang Wanning had suddenly become her elder.
The word "filial piety" alone was enough to crush her.
Jiang Wanru knelt down reluctantly, "I know I was wrong."
Jiang Wan Ning said coldly, "Let me ask you, did you deliver the pastries to the Marquis's residence today?"
"I don't understand what my mother is saying. Why would I bring her pastries out of the blue?"
Jiang Wan Ning sneered, "Don't think I can't find out."
Jiang Wanru raised her eyes and calmly stared at Jiang Wanning, "Mother, if you want to investigate, then investigate."
"Slap!" Jiang Wan Ning slapped him again. "Is this how you talk to me?"
Jiang Wanru clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the anger in her chest, "This concubine dares not."
"Today your maid went to find Wu Xinrui and asked Wu Xinrui to send some snacks to the Marquis's mansion through Zhizhi."
"You didn't instigate this?"
Jiang Wanru knew all along that Jiang Wanning could find her, but now all the evidence has been destroyed by her.
Even if she knew, what could she do? She was still a county princess and Pei Anqing's concubine.
She couldn't easily kill herself, because the Grand Princess would definitely use that as an excuse to target the entire Langya Prince's Mansion.
This forced the emperor to punish them.
"I don't understand what my mother is saying."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled slightly. "Really?"
"Jiang Wanru, do you think that just because you killed that maid and tricked Wu Xinrui into going out to commit murder, this matter won't be traced back to you?"
Jiang Wan Ning didn't need to investigate to know that Jiang Wan Ru would definitely do this.
Jiang Wanru met Jiang Wanning's gaze, as if to say, 'That's how it is, so what can you do about it?'
