Chapter 97 Just Hanging on by a Thread
"Although the Marquis loves your mother, he doesn't understand love. If I act a little pitiful, he will feel sorry for me."
"But he didn't understand that it's wrong to pity and sympathize with another woman, who is his concubine, in front of his lover."
"How heartbroken and sad the other person must be."
As Jiang Wan Ning listened to Aunt Liu's words, her fingers curled slightly and her fists clenched tightly. "So every time you show up..."
"So you wanted to break my mother's heart and then give her a slow-acting poison?"
Aunt Liu was shocked; she hadn't expected that Jiang Wan Ning also knew about the poisoning.
"That medicine won't kill you for a while, but it will make you feel unwell and uncomfortable."
Jiang Wan Ning sneered.
This means that he doesn't spare his mother, either mentally or physically.
Just because of a man's infatuation, the Grand Princess disregarded their relationship and used such a cruel method against her mother.
“I’ve said everything I needed to say,” Aunt Liu said. “Can you let us off the hook now?”
“Jiang Wanning, you are both the Grand Princess, and your enemy is also the Grand Princess,” Jiang Wanru said. “You should spare my parents.”
"They were just following orders, you can't blame them."
Jiang Wanning ignored Jiang Wanru's roar and looked at Aunt Liu instead, "I'll ask you again."
"Does Pei Anqing know about this? Or rather, is he also backed by the Grand Princess?"
In her past life, Pei Anqing also had powerful backers, which is why he dared to so openly kill Pei Yanchuan and then imprison her.
As a result, Zhizhi also died tragically at his hands.
Aunt Liu's eyes were filled with doubt, "The young master?"
"The Grand Princess and the Crown Prince have no dealings with each other. As for whether the Crown Prince knows about these things, I have no idea."
"Ahem... I've told you everything I know. Believe it or not."
"I only ask that you spare Ru'er and give me a quick death."
She was in so much pain, and so was Granny Zhang. It would be better to just kill her with a single blow.
As for Ru'er, she was her only hope. As long as Ru'er was alright, she would do anything.
Jiang Wan Ning slowly stood up. "Do you think that if I let her go, she will let me go?"
Jiang Wanru was startled, and immediately said, "As long as you don't try to take it from me, I won't go after you anymore."
"If the Grand Princess asks, I will say that you already know that she is the one behind it all."
"Don't worry, I keep my word and will never be your enemy again," Jiang Wanru swore, holding up three fingers.
Jiang Wan Ning scoffed, "You can only fool yourself with that."
"Haitang, send someone to treat Aunt Liu's injuries."
Aunt Liu and Jiang Wanru were both shocked. "What do you mean?"
Jiang Wanru didn't believe that Jiang Wanning would be so kind.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled innocently, "It doesn't have to be completely cured, just keeping it on its last breath is enough."
"Otherwise, how could she withstand my daily whipping?"
Jiang Wan Ning's intention was to treat Aunt Liu while simultaneously using torture.
"Didn't you promise to give us a quick death?!" Aunt Liu spat out a mouthful of blood.
Clenching his fists tightly, he said, "You can't do this!"
"How can someone so untrustworthy be worthy of the title of the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family?"
“I said I’d give you a quick death, but I didn’t say I’d give it to all of you.”
Jiang Wan Ning pointed at Zhang Mama and said, "Kill her."
"yes."
As soon as Haitang finished speaking, she thrust her long sword into Zhang Mama's abdomen.
Granny Zhang's eyes widened, her pupils dilated, as she stared at the blood-soaked sword in Haitang's hand, her head tilted to one side.
Haitang stepped forward and placed her index finger under Zhang Mama's nose to test it.
He turned around, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Wan Ning, and said, "Reporting to Miss, he has passed away."
"Drag him away and feed him to the tiger in the prince's courtyard," Jiang Wan Ning said casually.
"yes."
Jiang Wanning turned her head and glanced at Jiang Wanru.
The latter's body went limp, and he sat on the ground, trembling like a sieve, pushing off the ground with his feet and moving backward.
When Haitang returned, Jiang Wanru had already fainted on the ground.
"Drag the person out and take them to the entrance of the Grand Princess's residence."
"yes."
Jiang Wan Ning stepped out of the dungeon.
Hiding in the shadows, Mo Qing scratched his head. "Why does the Princess give Mo Bai all sorts of filthy things to eat?"
Didn't you know that Mo Bai only eats beef?
What if this androgynous person eats something and infects Mo Bai, making him androgynous as well?
Pei Yanchuan shot a cold knife at him, and Mo Qing was so frightened that he quickly scurried away, saying, "I'll go check on Mo Bai."
Pei Yanchuan glanced at the dungeon and turned to leave.
When Jiang Wan Ning first wrote to him asking to borrow the dungeon, he was surprised that she knew he had a dungeon in his residence.
Seeing how familiar she was with the dungeon, if I didn't know, I would really think she was a regular visitor.
She just asked Aunt Liu about the person behind Pei Anqing.
Has she already discovered it too?
Pei Yanchuan returned to his study, his mind preoccupied with other matters.
On the other side, Jiang Wanru was thrown at the entrance of the Grand Princess's residence because it was surrounded by a crowd of people.
The Grand Princess had no choice but to take the person inside first.
"Your Highness, the county princess is fine; she's just too frightened," the physician reported, bowing.
The Grand Princess waved her hand, "You may leave."
"yes."
The physician had just left when Princess Ping'an walked in.
"Mother, I heard someone fainted outside the door. Who was it?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Wanru on the bed, his expression revealing undisguised disgust and loathing, "Why is it her?"
"Mother, how come she's in our house?"
"Why save her? Why not just throw her into the Marquis's mansion?"
The Grand Princess rubbed her aching head and looked up. "Ping An, keep your voice down."
Seeing her mother's displeasure, Princess Ping'an softened her tone, "Mother~"
“She is now my adopted daughter. Marquis Ningyuan has already announced that Jiang Wanru is not his biological daughter, and even Concubine Liu has been dealt with.”
"From this day forward, she will be your sworn sister."
Ping An pointed at Jiang Wanru, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and asked, "Save her? On what grounds?"
"I refuse to be called her sister!"
"Mother, why did you bring her into the manor?"
If Princess Ping'an looked down on Jiang Wan Ning, she looked down on Jiang Wan Ru even more, always feeling that Jiang Wan Ru was too pretentious.
"What do you know?" the Grand Princess said sternly. "If I don't protect her, do you think I'm going to let my own daughter become a weapon?"
Princess Ping'an was taken aback. "Mother, what...what do you mean by this?"
The Grand Princess glanced at Jiang Wanru and said, "Only by adopting her as a goddaughter and marrying her to Pei Anqing can we know everything that the Langya Prince's Mansion is up to."
Pei Anqing might also be useful to me.
As for the Ningyuan Marquis's residence, if it weren't for Jiang Wan Ning, that despicable couple would probably already be...
Thinking of this, the Grand Princess felt a surge of anger.
Jiang Wan Ning! What a Jiang Wan Ning!
"Why can't you choose someone else? Why does it have to be her?"
The Grand Princess also looked down on Jiang Wanru, saying, "Who in the capital with any status would abandon their daughter to get involved in this mess?"
