Chapter 59: Great Victory
The more unhappy the Liu mother and daughter are, the happier Jiang Xinyu is. It feels like I'm happy just knowing that you're not doing well.
Originally, there would be nothing to do here, but Jiang Xinyu asked Liu for two more people.
One was Chun Xing, the maid who originally served her, and the other was Yu Ma, Liu's confidant.
There is no need to mention Chun Xing.
Xiao Yuan once told her that the maidservant beside the young lady was extremely important and she would rather be beaten to death than fall into the hands of others, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
Chun Xing and Chun Hong have been with her for about the same period of time, so it would not be a good idea for them to stay in the Jiang family now.
She had to bring it back to the Governor's Mansion whether it was needed or not.
The other case of Nanny Yu involves past grudges.
Most of the attempts by Liu to frame the original body were done by Nanny Yu. In the original novel, it was this old woman who killed the original body with a bowl of poison while she was still in confinement.
Although Jiang Xinyu was stupid, she was not the type to just accept things. She would dare to argue and make trouble even if it meant sacrificing her reputation.
Most of the maids and servants in the Jiang family did not dare to do anything to her openly. The only exception was Nanny Yu, who relied on Liu's indulgence and even beat her, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
She could keep the Jiang family and have fun with them, but she didn't need to keep this old slave. It would be perfect to use her as a sacrifice to start her first kill.
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she shook her head and said, "You can have Chun Xing, after all, she is your maid and the indenture contract has been given to you.
Madam Yu was the dowry I brought from my mother's home. How can a girl ask her aunt to bring a madam as a dowry when she gets married?"
Jiang Xinyu smoothed her hair and sneered, "Aunt, you are so funny. Why are you still acting when you are talking so freely?
You really don’t know why I want Nanny Yu.”
Of course Liu knew this, and she knew even more that Nanny Yu must not fall into Jiang Xinyu's hands.
Nanny Yu had been with her for too long, and most of her shameful deeds were done by Nanny Yu.
Even if Jiang Xinyu wanted Nanny Yu to go there just to vent her anger, there was no guarantee that Nanny Yu would not find out other things and betray her under torture.
But now Jiang Xinyu is valued by the master. If she insists on taking an old slave away, the master may give it to her.
Thinking of this, Liu nodded with difficulty, "I know that Nanny Yu was disrespectful to you in the past. Since the eldest lady wants to vent her anger, I will naturally not stand in the way.
Can you extend the time limit for two days?
Nanny Yu is still ill now. When she recovers in two days, I will let her go to the Governor's Mansion to serve the eldest lady."
Jiang Xinyu nodded with satisfaction, "No wonder father likes Aunt Liu so much, you really know the current affairs.
Now that you've said so, let's do it this way.
If I don’t see Nanny Yu in two days, I will ask the governor to come and ask father for it in person. I think father will not be reluctant to part with it.”
Jiang Xinyu returned to the front hall triumphantly after she finished speaking. A moment later, Chun Xing was also brought over, but she was not walking very well and had injuries on her face. She looked haggard and must have suffered a lot.
Jiang Huai was a little embarrassed.
The marriage exchange caused Liu and Qiu'er's plan to fail, so they were bound to be angry.
Yu'er was the only maid left in her yard, and it looked like Liu was taking her out on her.
Fortunately, Jiang Xinyu did not make a fuss about it. She said goodbye to Jiang Huai politely and left. This scumbag father who had been left out by Xiao Yuan for a long time was quite touched by his daughter's understanding.
Seeing these two plague gods finally leave, Liu felt a little disappointed. She didn't care about the money and quickly asked someone to call Nanny Yu over.
Mrs. Liu was really reluctant to part with Nanny Yu, as she was her most capable general and wanted to leave her for Jiang Wanqiu as a dowry.
But now I can't care about anything.
Jiang Xinyu was a newlywed and pampered girl, and she was so determined to keep Nanny Yu that she couldn't keep her at all.
In this case, she had no choice but to take ruthless action to prevent her secret from being leaked.
After hearing what Liu said, Nanny Yu fell to the ground with a pale face, and kowtowed repeatedly, begging the lady to give him a chance to live.
Liu looked at her in embarrassment and sighed.
"It's not that I don't remember our friendship, it's just that if that little bastard gets the upper hand, I won't be able to protect myself.
Don't worry, your two sons, one daughter and grandson will be fine.
I will treat them well because of your loyalty."
Nanny Yu couldn't help but clench her fists when she heard what Liu said.
She understood what was said. The subtext was that if she was not faithful and said something she shouldn't have, her whole family would be in trouble.
As Liu's confidante, Nanny Yu knew her mistress's methods too well, so she had no choice but to agree at this point.
But I never thought that Liu would be so ruthless. After she agreed, she asked someone to bring her a bowl of medicine.
"lady"!
Liu closed her eyes and said, "The rules of the Governor's Mansion are very strict. Drinking this bowl of dumb medicine will prevent you from saying something wrong and losing your life.
Your grandson is 6 years old now, right? In two years, I will appoint him as Quan'er's book boy.
If that little bastard is willing to let you go in the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.
If I can't come back... I've also secured a future for my children and grandchildren."
At this point, Nanny Yu had given up hope and tremblingly picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Madam Yu twisting and turning in pain, Liu's eyes flashed with hatred. She would definitely get back the humiliation she suffered today.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Jiang Xinyu was showing off the silver bills she had earned. She even generously gave Xiao Yuan a hundred taels of silver, saying it was a reward for him to buy candy.
Xiao Yuan held the banknote between his two fingers and shook it in disdain.
"I have performed with you for most of the day and I have given you a place in the Imperial Academy. If you earn 100,000 taels, give me 100 taels.
The most abominable thing is that you actually said "reward". This governor has not received such a small reward in more than ten years. "
Looking at his arrogant look, Jiang Xinyu smiled slyly and took out two banknotes and shook them.
"It's not easy to get silver. If you sing a little song for me, I'll give you two hundred taels.
What? You won’t find such a high price anywhere else in Dajin.”
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it over.
"I am not as stingy as you. This jade pendant is worth eight hundred taels. Sing a song and it will be yours."
Jiang Xinyu took the jade pendant and suddenly showed a shy expression.
"Sir, please respect yourself. I sell my body, not my art."
Xiao Yuan covered his face and said, "Madam, do you know that Jiang Huai is so unrestrained?"
Why do I feel like you don't fit in with that family's painting style?"
Jiang Xinyu curled her lips, "A gigolo who is a scumbag and a vicious and scheming woman, gave birth to a naive son who seduced his brother-in-law's daughter and a vicious and naughty child.
How could I, such a pure and kind person, possibly draw in the same style as them?"
Xiao Yuan squeezed his wife's hand with amusement, "You are so resentful, but you still asked me to get a place for Jiang Quan in the Imperial College.
It's not just for these 100,000 taels of silver."
"How is that possible!"
Jiang Xinyu played with the jade pendant and said proudly, "My husband, do you really think it's a good thing that Jiang Quan entered the Imperial College?
That kid was spoiled by Liu and Jiang Huai and became arrogant and lawless. He was just a bully at home, but who would recognize him in the Imperial College?
Just wait and see. A bastard son of a fourth-rank official is studying in the Imperial College where many powerful people gather. If he can graduate successfully, it is considered a great achievement for him.
I call this killing three birds with one stone.
I fooled Jiang Huai into thinking that I was still loyal to my mother's family, and I made money from Liu's family, so I took the opportunity to get revenge on that naughty kid.
How about it, do you think I am smart?
Xiao Yuan nodded sincerely, "Madam is a very talented person, and she has made many plans. You can be called a strategist.
Also...can you please stop pinching my thighs? Don’t you know how strong you are now?"
