Chapter 188 Meeting
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Jiang Wan Ning, who always kept her word, let the person go.
"Your Highness, are you just going to let her leave the capital like this?"
Mo Ran couldn't help but say, "This woman is quite cunning; keeping her around will only bring trouble."
Jiang Wan Ning shook her head. "No, she won't live much longer."
Both Mo Ran and Mo Qing looked at Jiang Wan Ning with puzzled expressions.
"Your Highness, do you know what the Princess Consort is saying? I don't quite understand."
Mo Qing scratched his head.
Pei Yanchuan smiled and looked at Jiang Wanning, "Ningning, just tell this silly child."
He then looked at Mo Qing and silently sighed, "I really don't know how you're going to win over that chubby girl like this."
"Hey, that girl can take any food home."
"Besides, isn't the Princess Consort here?" Mo Qing looked at Jiang Wan Ning ingratiatingly.
“Our peony won’t marry a fool.”
"Your Highness, I'm not stupid, I'm not stupid." Mo Qing waved her hands repeatedly. Seeing that Jiang Wan Ning didn't speak, she anxiously said to Pei Yan Chuan, "Your Highness, I'm not stupid, please tell the Princess."
Pei Yanchuan...
Well, not only have I lost, but it seems the two people beside me have also been subdued.
"You're hopeless," Pei Yanchuan said irritably.
Mo Qing wasn't embarrassed at all. "You're still criticizing me, sir."
"Who was climbing over walls and through windows every day a few days ago? They got kicked out."
Before Pei Yanchuan could even speak, Mo Qing had already run up behind Jiang Wanning and poked her head out, "Master, I still know a lot more that I haven't told you yet. Are you sure you want to punish me now?"
"Your Highness, if you divorce your husband again in the future, could you please keep me?"
Jiang Wan Ning was amused by Mo Qing's silly antics.
"Alright, go do something for me, and I'll consider keeping you here."
Mo Qing excitedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I'll go through fire and water for you."
"I dare not go."
"However, killing one or two children is still an option."
“No need to kill anyone,” Jiang Wanning said with a smile. “Go and keep a close eye on Wu Xinrui.”
"No matter what happens to her, don't show yourself. Keep an eye on everyone who has come into contact with her."
"This..." Mo Qing was a little confused. "Why are you still staring at her?"
Mo Ran was also somewhat confused.
Jiang Wanning had no choice but to explain, "She revealed the method of using Gu worms to the public today."
"If I don't want her life, someone else will."
"Then is the method she mentioned for removing the curse also..." Mo Ran said. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was just a little worried."
"I think that woman is very scheming, and what she said may not be true."
“You’re right,” Jiang Wan Ning said, “so I didn’t believe her.”
"On the contrary, this method can be ruled out. We must not allow the 'child worm' to cause any problems in the old lady's body."
If someone can plant this Gu worm, then someone else must be able to cure it.
She didn't place her hopes on Wu Xinrui; her real purpose was to find out who was trying to assassinate Wu Xinrui.
That person might be the one who used witchcraft.
Mo Qing and Mo Ran admired Jiang Wan Ning even more.
Pei Yanchuan felt a mixture of pride and a desire to kick those two guys out of his deep respect.
After Mo Qing and Mo Ran left.
Jiang Wanning then said to Pei Yanchuan, "Your Highness, shall I accompany you to see your mother-in-law?"
Having returned from the frontier for so long, I haven't been able to visit her during this time for the sake of my safety.
Yu Hai said that his mother-in-law's health has improved a lot, and her emotions have also stabilized a lot.
"Apart from my eyes not being fully healed yet, I look forward to seeing you every day."
Jiang Wan Ning spoke softly, looking calmly at Pei Yan Chuan.
Pei Yanchuan's originally calm eyes flickered slightly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to see her, but he was also afraid to.
What should we say when we meet? Only we ourselves truly understand the longing and yearning we've felt over the years.
There's nothing to be happy about when you look back.
He feared that if the two met, he would be reminded of the night his entire family was slaughtered.
Jiang Wan Ning understood what Pei Yan Chuan was thinking. She took two steps forward, grabbed Pei Yan Chuan's hand, and held it tightly. "I'm here. I'll always be with you."
Pei Yanchuan stared into Jiang Wanning's gentle, watery eyes.
His Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he finally uttered a single, hoarse word, "Okay."
On the other side.
Jiang Wanru, who had been punished, was seething with anger.
The newly bought maidservant was clumsy and inefficient, so Jiang Wanru grabbed a soft pillow from the side and threw it at her.
"Where's the doctor? Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
The maidservant took several steps back, dodging the soft pillow thrown by Jiang Wanru, and whispered, "I have already sent a servant to fetch her."
"But... but we don't have enough money, and no doctor is willing to come."
Jiang Wanru was utterly shocked. "What?"
"How could there be no silver? Didn't I tell you to take it from the box?"
The maid trembled as Jiang Wanru yelled at her, "The box... there isn't enough money in the box."
"What did you say?" Jiang Wanru straightened up upon hearing this, pulling at her wound and wincing in pain. "What do you mean by 'not enough'?"
"I still have at least a hundred taels of silver in that box."
"What kind of doctor can't be hired even with so much money?"
Seeing the maidservant with her head down and silent, Jiang Wanru seemed to have thought of something and beckoned, "Come here."
The maid was scared, but she had no choice but to go over.
"Lower your head," Jiang Wanru gestured for the maid to squat down.
The little maid obediently squatted down, and as soon as she poked her head over, she thought Jiang Wanru was going to give her some instructions.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wanru grabbed his ear and twisted it.
"I bought you to serve me because you seemed honest. What? You couldn't wait to steal all the money after seeing me like this?"
The maid's ears were twisted until they were bright red. Her head followed her ears as she tilted her head and cried, "Madam, please investigate! I didn't do it! Even if you gave me ten lives, I wouldn't dare to steal anything from you!"
"Who else could it be but you?" Jiang Wanru tightened her grip. "Only you know where my money is kept."
"You've been the one fetching it for me all this time, and nobody else knew about it, so how could it not be enough?"
"Who else could it be but you?"
“I may be unable to move now, but don’t forget, your contract of indenture is in my hands.”
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll sell you to a brothel to pay off this debt!"
Upon hearing this, the young maidservant immediately knelt down, saying, "Please forgive me, Madam."
What's your name?
"Madam... Madam, I misspoke. Please forgive me, it really wasn't me who took it."
Jiang Wanru privately forbade the servants in the courtyard from calling her "auntie," insisting that they call her "madam."
When there are outsiders present, they are made to follow the rules, which often leads to them calling the wrong names.
"I misjudged you. I originally thought you were a bit stupid and not too cunning."
"I never expected that I, the one who catches the eagle, would be the one pecked in the eye by you, you stupid chicken."
"I'll show you what happens when you mess with me."
As Jiang Wanru spoke, she reached out to pull out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed the little maid's palm hard.
