When she finally realized what was happening, she was like an angry lioness, ready to rush out the door to seek revenge!
Before he could even rush out of the courtyard, he was stopped by two old women at the gate.
"I want to get out!"
She glared at the two old women and spoke.
The old woman, of course, disagreed.
Jiang Changhe became extremely irritable again, frightening the several young ladies from prominent families behind him into hastily taking their leave.
Upon learning the news, Princess Ming immediately offered to avenge her in an attempt to appease her, only to be met with even more insane mockery from Jiang Changhe: "She has Jiang Changting behind her!"
"Do you dare to mess with her?"
These words were truly disrespectful to his mother, but Princess Ming indeed fell silent.
Her silence was telling Jiang Changhe that she truly dared not have any unnecessary conflict with Jiang Changting at this critical juncture.
In the end, all he could do was gently comfort his daughter: "Once you get to your maternal grandmother's house, I'll help you get revenge!"
"Mother keeps her word and would never lie to you!"
Even though she made solemn vows, Jiang Changhe simply refused to believe her.
God knows how deep her hatred for Wei Wei ran.
When she woke up and heard the imperial physician tell her that her ribs were most likely broken by someone maliciously crushing them, she wished she could fly to Loucheng immediately and kill Wei Wei.
But then so many things happened, and her third brother kept warning her not to act recklessly. He said it wouldn't be too late to avenge her after he had achieved his goal.
That's how the matter was delayed.
Unexpectedly, before the matter could be settled, her third brother, Jiang Luan, was beheaded in the middle of the night!
She was forced to endure it all! No one ever truly stood up for her!
She's come to realize that the only person you can truly rely on is yourself!
Seeing her mother's feigned concern, she knew she couldn't go against her anymore. If she wanted to go out, she had to act obediently so that she would have a chance to leave.
A forced smile appeared on her face, and she asked, feigning excitement, "Really? If I go to my grandmother's, will you really help me get revenge?"
Princess Ming breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly assured her, "Your mother will definitely avenge you and kill that person!"
After saying that, he pulled Jiang Changhe, who seemed to have figured things out, back into the house.
Jiang Changhe was silent for a moment before asking, "When can Father send me there?"
Princess Ming, without any suspicion, immediately said, "At the latest, the day after tomorrow, he will be able to take you to your maternal grandmother's place."
"Although it's in the mountains, there are lots of fruits and vegetables growing around there. It'll be a lot of fun for you to help your grandmother with her hands and feet there."
Jiang Changhe suppressed the urge to sneer and asked again, "Then when are you coming to pick me up?"
Princess Ming said, "You can stay there for a while, at most half a month to a month. Once things are settled here, I will come to pick you up."
Jiang Changhe nodded: "Okay, I'll leave with my father when he returns."
"I want to rest now."
Princess Ming was overjoyed to see that she readily agreed.
But thinking that he wouldn't see her for a long time, he reluctantly patted her head before turning and leaving.
Only at this moment did Jiang Changhe dare to let out a cold snort.
——
It was still dark when Leng Pusheng mentioned outside the window that Jiang Changhe had secretly left the house and was caught by Jiang Changting.
Wei Wei hurriedly got out of bed, her expression very complicated.
Look, Jiang Changhe hates her so much that he even runs out in the middle of the night just to kill her. She is truly flattered.
They didn't even consider how dangerous it would be for a woman, who is completely defenseless, to go out alone at night.
Hatred truly makes people stupid.
"Where did Princess Changting's people take Jiang Changhe?"
She asked.
Leng Pusheng said, "They locked him up in a private house, where an elderly couple is guarding him."
She will probably receive a letter from Jiang Changting soon.
Perhaps it's just to tell her that they've caught the person they wanted, or perhaps to invite her to go see what will happen to the dog that fell into the water.
However, before any of these could be verified, news of the Second Prince's rebellion spread.
It happened very suddenly, without any warning.
It was still dark, and everyone was still asleep.
A nimble man in black jumped into the courtyard, but was stopped by Leng Pusheng.
He lifted the black cloth covering his face, chuckled, and called out to Leng Pusheng, "Brother Leng."
When Leng Pusheng opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face.
Brother Xie, who had fought with Leng Pusheng outside the city last time over Madam Meng's life, was overjoyed to see Leng Pusheng.
Leng Pusheng, however, was not as excited as him. After realizing that they were not enemies, he turned around and returned to his original position, waiting for him to personally explain to Wei Wei.
Brother Xie wasn't angry that Leng Pusheng ignored him. He just dutifully told him Jiang Yu's arrangements: "The streets will be in chaos soon. The leader told us to stay in the courtyard and not go anywhere!"
Wei Wei, already dressed and ready, came out of the room and asked with a serious expression, "What exactly happened? Why did the Second Prince suddenly rebel?"
Brother Xie said, "Last night, Yu Qian, the Minister of Justice, dragged his ailing body to see the Emperor with the evidence that had been found long ago. After reading it, the Emperor was furious and immediately ordered the Second Prince to come to see him."
"He wants to ask the Third Prince himself if he killed him."
"I just don't know where the Second Prince heard the news from, but he actually thought that the Emperor wanted him dead, so he secretly joined forces with his cousin, who was a military officer in his mother's family, to plot a rebellion."
What seemed like an ordinary night to others was a night of terror and uncertainty for some.
The Second Prince's plan, which he thought was flawless, had already fallen into the eyes of those with ulterior motives.
This rebellion was destined to fail; it was only after he entered the city gates that there would be a more legitimate reason to depose him.
After learning the whole story, Wei Wei's worries lessened considerably. Since everyone was staying home, it would also reduce the chances of innocent people losing their lives.
Now, not only is Jiang Yu waiting to see him act like a clown for a couple of quarters of an hour before closing the net.
Even the Fifth Prince and the Emperor were watching coldly, waiting to see if the good son he had fathered was truly plotting a rebellion.
Bored while waiting, Xiao Qiao'er and Xiao Yue'er went to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Wei Wei sat inside the house studying new cosmetics.
Sure enough, a short while later, the sounds of clashing soldiers could be heard from the main street.
The number of men and horses seemed quite large, and they hadn't stopped for a long time.
A few early risers saw this and were terrified. They hid in a corner, trembling, until the people headed towards the palace before sneaking out and hurriedly running back home.
The footsteps on the main street finally faded away, but then someone ran out from another direction.
Brother Zheng stood anxiously at the door and called out twice, "Miss Qiao!"
