Chapter 64 This is our fate
The Earl of Anyang looked up and saw that his wife was laughing almost crazily. He couldn't help feeling sad and frightened, and hurriedly went to hold her hand.
Lady Anyang did not dodge away. She lowered her head, looked at the tearful Anyang, and slowly stopped laughing.
After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to do this."
In terms of meanness, she is even worse than her husband.
Over the years, everyone laughed at her for being crazy, how could she not know?
She didn't care, she just wanted Xun'er to come back.
But she already knew that Xun'er would never come back...
She just couldn't accept that Xun'er died because of her negligence, and couldn't accept that the last words she left for him were:
"Xun'er, Mom is really tired. Just be obedient and sensible. Don't show up in front of others today, okay?"
She thought he was a disgrace and a burden.
Before leaving the house, she left Xun'er to the servants.
Xun'er chased after her step by step, grabbed her arm, and begged, "Mom, Xun'er wants you."
But she was thinking about the banquet ahead and she couldn't lose face today, so she pried Xun'er's hands apart without hesitation and asked the servant beside her to catch him.
"Keep a close eye on them. If you let the young master get to the banquet in front, you'll be in trouble!"
Her last instruction was not to ask them to take good care of Xun'er, but that she was still worried about her own face.
Perhaps it was because of this sentence that the servants did not dare to look for her after Xun'er disappeared.
Then, she left without looking back, leaving Xun'er in the room banging on the door and calling her desperately:
"Mother! Mother! Don't abandon Xun'er!"
Lady Anyang no longer felt heartbroken at this moment. Her heart was hollowed out, without any thoughts left, so naturally she could not feel the pain.
The moment Xun'er opened her eyes, she realized something was wrong.
When Xun'er looked at her before, his face was always full of joy and dependence, but Jiang Xun was different. There was only strangeness and fear in his eyes.
The first few days after she woke up from the high fever were the nights she personally kept watch for Jiang Xun. She heard Jiang Xun waking up from his dreams again and again, screaming something, and then he couldn't sleep all night.
She knew then that Jiang Xun did not come here voluntarily.
He wanted to go back so much that he almost went crazy and was in a trance for more than a month.
But this cannot be changed, he occupies Xun'er's body.
So she started trying various methods.
She originally thought that Jiang Xun would resist or run away, so she asked her servants to hold him down.
But later she discovered that he never resisted. Even when he was immersed in a cage with the water above his head and almost drowned, he did not struggle at all.
She felt like she was going crazy, and sometimes she even thought how great it would be if the person who took possession of Xun'er's body was a shameless guy.
Then she wouldn't feel guilty, wouldn't go to see him secretly, wouldn't feel more and more reluctant, and wouldn't feel excruciating pain every time she hit him.
She knew that Jiang Xun was innocent, and he didn't want to leave his parents and relatives and face a crazy woman like her.
But if she didn't do something, she would feel that she had completely abandoned and betrayed Xun'er.
She was tired of the day-to-day torture, and this time, she almost killed him and the entire Anyang Earl's Mansion.
That’s all—
Lady Anyang looked up, her thoughts suddenly becoming clear, and she calmly told Anyang Earl everything she had encountered in the Jokhang Temple during those days.
The Earl of Anyang listened carefully, but for some reason, the calm appearance of his wife made him feel panicked.
After Lady Anyang finished speaking, her energy and spirit seemed to drain away all at once. She became listless and looked much older in an instant.
"Go, go and rescue him. Since he is prepared, there will definitely be time for you."
As Lady Anyang spoke, she slowly pushed herself up, staggering but never stopping, and walked into the room without looking back.
"lady......"
Anyang Bo called out in a trembling voice and hurriedly caught up.
Lady Anyangbo turned around, looked at Anyangbo for a moment, and suddenly smiled very lightly, saying in a gentle voice:
"Master, this is our fate."
After she finished speaking, she broke free from Anyang Bo's hand and turned around with tears already streaming down her face.
"Bring him back to see me. I have something to say to him."
Lady Anyang added and continued to move forward.
At this time, Wen Chengye saw that Anyang Bo had not come out yet, so he urged him:
"My Lord, it's getting late."
Anyang Bo turned around suddenly, and seeing that it was almost dark, he did not dare to delay any longer.
"Madam, wait for me. I'll bring Xun'er back and we can talk about what we have to say."
Lady Anyang nodded slightly.
Anyang Bo turned back every three steps, and when he left the yard, he ordered the maids who were hiding aside, "Go in, and stay with the Madam."
He went to see Nanfeng again and said quickly, "Nanfeng, you stay here and don't go anywhere."
Nanfeng hurriedly agreed, as the young master had already given him instructions.
Seeing that the four maids had entered the house, Anyang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wen Chengye in a serious tone:
"My wife has told me the whole story, Commander Wen, let's go to the palace and see the emperor right away."
.......
The news of the siege of the Anyang Marquis's Mansion had spread throughout the capital, and there was no shortage of people watching the excitement outside the mansion.
But no one dared to get close. They just stood far away and whispered.
At this time, squeak——
The door of Anyang Marquis' Mansion suddenly opened!
Everyone stood on tiptoe to look, and saw several people stepping out, climbing onto horses, and an old woman was tied up and taken to a carriage. The group galloped towards the direction of the palace.
Seeing this scene, many people in front of the mansion scattered, obviously they were all there to inquire about the news.
Although Jiang Xun is only the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple now, he is highly appreciated by the emperor, who allows him to always be with the emperor's grandson. Naturally, he is different from ordinary officials.
In the carriage in the corner.
Shen Jiasui only lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out.
Seeing that the Earl of Anyang could still ride a horse into the palace, Shen Jiasui knew that Jiang Xun had really defended himself this time.
As soon as she felt relieved, she felt hungry and immediately asked the driver to turn around and go back home.
On the way, Shen Jiasui's mind was not idle.
The big mistake in the previous life had already been made. I don’t know what method Jiang Xun used to save the Anyang Marquis’ Mansion, but the Anyang Marquis’ wife was definitely dead.
Even if she was used by others, the fact that she used witchcraft to offend Crown Prince Xianhuai is something that the current emperor cannot tolerate the most.
This time, Lady Anyang should be able to survive...right?
Thinking about this, Shen Jiasui suddenly thought of what Jiang Xun said to her that day in the Forest of Steles:
"My mother couldn't accept my change and thought I died at the age of ten."
Lady Anyang regarded this witchcraft as a life-saving straw, hoping to bring back the Jiang Xun in her heart.
If she found out today that not only was the witchcraft fake, but she was also used by a villain and almost harmed the entire Anyang Earl's Mansion, she... wouldn't be unable to get over it, right?
As Shen Jiasui thought about this, the pale and tired face of Lady Anyang and her thin and weak body flashed through his mind, and he began to have a worse premonition in his heart.
But she changed her mind and thought that Jiang Xun would not be so careless and he would definitely protect Lady Anyang well.
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were the one who planned it, she would not even let Lady Anyang discover the truth. This would lighten the burden on her and prevent her from being depressed.
Maybe she was worrying too much...
The carriage was driving smoothly on the way back to the mansion. It had gone a long way when suddenly an urgent voice sounded from inside the carriage:
"Turn around and go to Anyang Marquis's Mansion!"
Shen Jiasui still couldn't feel at ease. Human life was at stake. The worst that could happen was a wasted trip!
