Chapter 80 Pei Yanchuan is also a big slap in the face
Zhang Sheng was dragged into the yard.
His eyes showed fear and terror as he watched the guard draw his long sword and slowly approach him.
A warm, wet sensation ran through my groin.
With a 'whoosh', blood splattered everywhere, and Zhang Sheng collapsed to the ground.
His wide eyes looked in the direction of Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu closed her eyes, covered her mouth, and wept bitterly, while Granny Zhang stood by, looking somewhat dejected.
Jiang Zheng left the front hall.
Jiang Wanning walked to Aunt Liu's side and looked down at her.
Aunt Liu slowly raised her head, her bloodshot eyes looking at Jiang Wan Ning, "It's you, it's you, isn't it?"
"What are you saying, Aunt?" Jiang Wan Ning feigned innocence. "Shouldn't it be 'younger sister'?"
“If it weren’t for my sister today,” Jiang Wan Ning turned to look at Zhang Sheng’s corpse, “he might not be dead yet.”
"Besides, Auntie thinks that with my status and skills, if I really knew anything, would it be necessary to go through all this trouble to kill someone to cover it up?"
After Jiang Wanning finished speaking, she helped Zhou Shi leave.
"Ningning, did you already know about Zhang Sheng from the beginning?"
Zhou hadn't had a chance to ask all day, but she couldn't help but speak up now.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "Replying to Mother, I only found out recently."
"I never expected that the Liu family would be so ambitious."
Jiang Wan Ning did not reply; the Liu family's ambitions went far beyond that.
Aunt Liu returned to Bihe Courtyard.
The first thing to do was to ask about Jiang Wanru's whereabouts.
"Reporting to Madam, the Second Miss was locked in the ancestral hall by the Marquis as soon as she returned to the manor."
"The Marquis also said... he also said..."
"What else is there to say?" Granny Zhang said sternly.
Aunt Liu leaned back on the soft couch, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and coughed heavily a few times. "What did you say?"
The maidservant hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Reporting to Madam, the Marquis also said that he will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the Emperor to withdraw the marriage decree bestowed upon the Second Miss."
"Let the second young lady shave her head... shave her head and become a nun."
The young maid looked up at Aunt Liu and quickly spoke.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu coughed violently, and Granny Zhang immediately poured tea and brought it over.
Aunt Liu took a breath and felt a little better. "He...he even went after Ru'er."
"That Jiang Wan Ning!" Zhang Mama's eyes flashed with malice. "Madam, we..."
Aunt Liu raised her hand to interrupt him and ordered all the servants in the room to leave.
Then he said, "According to what the maidservant next to Ru'er just said, it seems that Ru'er and Sheng'er have fallen into Jiang Wan Ning's trap."
"Since Jiang Wan Ning has already discovered Sheng'er and wants Sheng'er dead, why bother to stage such a show?"
“Cough cough…” Aunt Liu coughed twice, “Listen to what she’s saying.”
"She just wants me to watch my own son die." Aunt Liu emphasized the last word.
"I never expected Jiang Wan Ning to be so cruel."
"Granny, bring me paper and pen. I need to write a letter to that person. Now that Sheng'er is gone, Ru'er's marriage must not go wrong."
"Jiang Wan Ning's words today have already made the Marquis begin to suspect Ru'er."
"Once the seed of doubt is planted, it is not easily eradicated."
......
After Jiang Wan Ning escorted Zhou Shi back, she sat for a while before heading to her own courtyard.
The moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight.
Jiang Wan Ning looked up to admire.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Peony asked, noticing that Jiang Wan Ning hadn't moved for a long time.
Jiang Wan Ning looked away. "I'm wondering, is the moon in the sky rounder, or is the peony rounder?"
"Miss, you're teasing me again!" Peony stamped her foot.
Haitang covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.
Jiang Wan Ning laughed and said, "I wasn't joking. I meant that you are as bright as the moon, making people happy when they see you."
"But Miss looked so melancholy just now."
Jiang Wan Ning didn't speak or go inside; instead, she sat on the swing in the yard.
The most important thing today is not to make Aunt Liu feel heartbroken, but to force Jiang Wanru's biological father to come out.
Apart from Aunt Liu and Granny Zhang, no one else showed any abnormalities.
Who is Jiang Wanru's father? He's kept it a secret for so long.
"Miss, look!" Peony suddenly exclaimed, "There are earthworms here!"
"Peony, what's the big deal about the damp ground and earthworms?" Begonia gently tapped the back of Peony's head.
Peony covered the back of her head and retorted, "Young Master Yu said that earthworms are hermaphroditic animals."
"I'm just curious. When did they turn into men, and when did they turn into women?"
Jiang Wan Ning laughed and said, "I think you're wondering whether the female or the male tastes better."
Upon hearing this, Haitang and Jiang Wanning both burst out laughing.
"Miss, I may be greedy, but I don't eat everything," Peony pouted.
Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said, "Alright, go to sleep now."
"On the way back, I promised my mother that I would visit Madam Wang at the Rong'an Marquis's residence tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Wan Ning got up and walked into the house.
His hand was on the door, about to push it open and enter, when suddenly he froze.
Turning around, he asked, "Peony, what did you just say?"
"I didn't say anything!"
"No, you mean, hermaphroditism?"
"This is not what I said, it was what Young Master Yu said. Miss, have you forgotten? It was the time a few days ago when you didn't sleep well."
"Hey, miss, where are you going so late?"
"To the Prince's Mansion!"
"Please wait a moment, servant..."
Before Peony could finish speaking, Jiang Wan Ning had already disappeared in a flash.
The Langya Prince's Mansion and the Yongning Marquis's Mansion were not far apart, and Jiang Wan Ning was riding her Akhal-Teke horse.
We arrived in no time.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion were already very familiar with Jiang Wan Ning, and opened the gate to greet her without needing a token or announcement.
Jiang Wan Ning walked straight towards Yu Hai's courtyard.
Who was that just now?
"Your Highness, it is Miss Jiang."
Pei Anqing squinted and carefully watched the receding figure, which was heading in the direction of Yu Hai's courtyard.
It's so late.
Jiang Wan Ning came to the Prince's Mansion not to see Pei Yan Chuan, but to see Yu Hai.
Pei Yanchuan's courtyard and study are both on the east side, and even without his permission, one cannot enter at will.
"Go find my father. I have something to discuss with him in the west courtyard," Pei Anqing instructed.
His west courtyard happened to pass by Yu Hai's courtyard.
"yes."
The guard immediately went to report.
Jiang Wanning came to Yu Hai's yard and called out loudly, "Ah Hai, are you asleep?"
"Ningning? Why is she here so late?" Shen Ruzhi asked, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other.
"Are you hungry like me?"
Yu Hai shrugged. "Let's think about how to explain your presence here first."
Shen Ruzhi glared at her, "What's there to explain to Ningning?"
Yu Hai stepped forward and opened the door, only to see a shadow rush up to him. "Ningning, let me explain."
Jiang Wan Ning glanced at the two of them and the hot pot on the table behind them.
"I really just came here to have a meal."
"Oh." Jiang Wan Ning nodded. "I know."
How do you know?
After asking the question, Shen Ruzhi felt it was unnecessary. Since she always climbed over the wall of the Langya Prince's Mansion, the Prince of Langya must have known about it.
"I didn't expect Pei Yanchuan to be such a slapstick."
"But what are you doing here so late?"
Jiang Wan Ning then came to her senses and remembered the important matter. She looked at Yu Hai and said, "Ah Hai, let me ask you, earthworms are hermaphroditic."
"Is it possible that the person is both male and female?"
