Chapter 96 Reason
Jiang Wanru covered her face, looking flustered, and turned to run to Aunt Liu's side, "Mother, Mother, please tell her quickly."
"She just gave her daughter medicine. If her daughter's face is really ruined, how will she ever recover?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Aunt Liu struggled to lift her head and snorted coldly, "Ru'er, don't be fooled by her."
"If she really dared to kill you, she wouldn't have used this method."
"Jiang Wanning, since you're so capable, why don't you investigate it yourself?"
"I'm not going to tell you."
Jiang Wan Ning stood up, dusted off her clothes, and said, "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
"Anyway, I just need to know that she's the one behind you."
"As for Jiang Wanru's face, you can check if it's true. It should have started to flare up by now."
Jiang Wanru covered her face and touched it from side to side.
There were no mirrors in the dungeon, so she didn't feel anything.
Sudden,
Jiang Wanru started scratching her face incessantly, "Mom, my face is so itchy."
Aunt Liu looked up nervously to check, and suddenly many small red spots appeared on Jiang Wanru's face.
"Jiang Wanning, Ru'er is now a county princess. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable for what you've done?!"
She originally thought that as long as she kept this secret, Jiang Wan Ning wouldn't kill her.
As long as she can hold on, Ru'er will surely be able to rescue her soon.
But if Ru'er's face is really ruined, the Grand Princess might not actually take action.
"It's just a rotten face, not a dead one," Jiang Wan Ning said playfully. "Besides, who saw me poison her?"
"Do you expect me to be taken to the authorities for a thorough investigation just because your face is ruined?" Jiang Wan Ning sneered.
Jiang Wanru kept scratching her face, "It's so itchy, Mom, it's so itchy."
"Just tell her. She already knows that the person behind this is the Grand Princess, so it doesn't matter if she knows the reason."
Aunt Liu looked at Jiang Wanru's pained expression, her face covered in blood.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I really don't know."
"I did it for the money back then. As for why the Grand Princess wanted to target the Marquis's Mansion, I really don't know."
"She never told me either."
"Let Ru'er go! She knows nothing. I did all of this!" Aunt Liu roared in anguish.
"In that case, you have no reason to live anymore," Jiang Wanning said calmly.
"Haitang, send Granny Zhang on her way first. Remember not to go too far."
Whether in her past life or now, Aunt Liu only had Zhang Mama by her side, and Zhang Mama knew many things that Jiang Wanru didn't.
This shows that in Aunt Liu's heart, Zhang Mama's importance was unmatched.
"yes!"
Haitang drew her long sword and walked step by step to Zhang Mama.
"No, no!" Aunt Liu cried out in anguish, shaking her head. "No, kill me if you must, don't kill her."
Ignoring her, Haitang severed Zhang Mama's tendons with a single sword stroke.
Zhang Mama, who had already fainted, was forced awake by the pain.
"ah--"
Without blinking, Haitang swiftly brought her sword to her other wrist.
"Jiang Wanning, if you want to kill, then kill! Why do you have to do this to us!" Aunt Liu cried out in anguish.
Jiang Wan Ning sat calmly in her chair, drinking tea without even raising her head.
With a swift stroke of her knife, Haitang severed the tendon in Zhang Mama's other hand.
The sword tip pointed at Granny Zhang's neck and slowly slashed downwards.
"Miss, I'd love to know what the internal organs of someone who is both a man and a woman are like."
Jiang Wan Ning seemed intrigued. She rested her hand on the armrest of the chair, tilted her head, and scratched her hair with her index finger. "Now that you mention it, I'm curious too."
"Why don't we cut open her stomach and take a look?"
"Yes!" Haitang said excitedly.
Haitang pressed the tip of her sword against Zhang Mama's abdomen.
Zhang Mama's heart clenched tightly, and her legs trembled uncontrollably. "No...no."
"Tell her right now, tell her that this woman is a devil!"
Aunt Liu wept bitterly, but kept biting her lip and remained silent.
It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it, but even if she did, Jiang Wan Ning might not let her off the hook.
Since she went to such lengths to ask, it means she cares.
He had originally thought that keeping this secret would save his life, and he was glaring at Ru'er to come and save him.
But now she understands what it means to be unable to live and unable to die.
Haitang tightened her grip, and blood began to seep from Zhang Mama's abdomen. She was suspended in mid-air, and a foul odor emanated from between her legs.
Just as Haitang was about to exert her strength, Aunt Liu shouted, "I'll talk!"
"Stop it! I'll talk!"
Haitang turned to look at Jiang Wanning, and seeing the latter nod slightly, she then sheathed her sword.
"I'm telling you, promise me you'll spare our lives."
"I have no interest in hearing anything else from you." Jiang Wan Ning put down her teacup. "I can make your deaths easier."
"Whether you are tortured to death or die quickly, you can choose."
"Jiang Wanning, I never expected you to be so vicious!" Jiang Wanru roared. "The Marquis's mansion is fine, so why can't they let us go!"
"Liu, you only have half an incense stick's time to think about how to die."
Jiang Wan Ning closed her eyes and stopped responding.
Haitang immediately lit the half-stick of incense in the incense burner.
Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Liu looked at Haitang, who was constantly wiping the bloodstains off the sword, and Zhang Mama, who was crying and wailing.
He swallowed hard. "I...I'll talk."
"But you have to cure Ru'er's poison first, otherwise I'd rather bite my tongue and kill myself than tell you."
Jiang Wan Ning slowly opened her eyes and nodded to Hai Tang.
Haitang took a pill from her waist and threw it at Jiang Wanru's feet.
Jiang Wanru quickly bent down, picked it up, and ate it.
Seeing that the red acne marks on Jiang Wanru's face were beginning to fade, Aunt Liu said, "The Grand Princess and your mother had a very good relationship back then."
"She made me do this because of a man."
Jiang Wan Ning stared at Aunt Liu, her voice calm, "Continue."
"You must know that the Prince Consort's relationship with the Grand Princess has not been very good over the years."
"Rumors circulate that the prince consort did not love the Grand Princess. Back then, the Grand Princess forced him to marry her, but the prince consort already had someone he loved in his heart."
“This beloved person is your mother.”
Jiang Wan Ning frowned slightly. "My father and mother are very loving, and besides, I have never heard them mention these things."
"You'd better not try anything funny."
Aunt Liu suddenly sneered, "At this point, what need do I have for playing tricks?"
"Not to mention your mother, very few people in the capital know about this."
"The Grand Princess also accidentally stumbled into the Prince Consort's study back then and discovered that the secret room in the Prince Consort's study was full of portraits of your mother."
"I found out by accident."
"She made me appear by your mother's side at all times so that your mother would live in pain."
