Chapter 154 A Surprising Incident



The wife of the Earl of Yongchang was killed by the Earl of Yongchang.

Jiang Si was drinking honey water when she heard the news. The cup in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The honey water splashed onto her skirt, turning the bright hibiscus flowers on the skirt into a dark color.

Ah Man was startled by Jiang's quick reaction, and he quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, girl, don't be afraid..."

What happened recently? Someone died again!

Jiang Si's face was whiter than snow. She didn't care about her wet skirt and leaned against the screen. She asked in a trembling voice, "What's going on?"

This is impossible. In her previous life, Lady Yongchang was always alive and well, at least she was fine before her death.

Jiang Si held the handkerchief tightly in both hands, and felt his mind was in a mess like a ball of rope.

"It is said that in the morning, the maid went in to help Earl Yongchang and his wife wash up. As a result, when she pushed the door open, she saw Earl Yongchang covered in blood holding a candlestick. Earl Yongchang's wife had a bloody hole in her chest and had already died..."

"Did Earl Yongchang really kill Earl Yongchang's wife?" Jiang seemed to not believe it.

Not to mention that the wife of the Earl of Yongchang was alive and well at this time in the previous life, even regardless of the situation in the previous life, the relationship between the Earl of Yongchang and his wife has always been very good.

The population of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion is simple. The younger generation only has brother and sister Xie Yinlou and Xie Qingyao, both of whom are born to the Yongchang Marquis' wife.

She and Xie Qingyao had been good friends since childhood, and she had heard countless times from Xie Qingyao about her parents' love. It was said that the Yongchang Earl had two concubines, but they were just for show.

It is precisely because of the harmony between his parents that Xie Qingyao has developed such a lively and cheerful personality.

Now it is said that the Earl of Yongchang killed his wife. This is simply bizarre.

No, she wants to go see Qingyao——

Jiang Si calmed himself down, then walked out.

"Girl, where are you going?" Ah Man asked.

"Go to the Yongchang Earl's Mansion."

Ah Qiao hurriedly caught up with him and said, "Girl, even if you want to go, you should at least change your clothes."

Jiang Si lowered her head and realized that her skirt was dirty.

The fine green silk skirt looked shabby because it was stained with honey, just like her mood at the moment.

Since her rebirth, Jiang Si has relied on her unwillingness to accept her fate to resolve one problem after another, because the prophet has enabled her to cope with them with ease. As a result, she is calm and at ease in her heart. In her opinion, even if many things cannot be resolved, at least they will not be worse than in her previous life.

But then something extremely bad happened, catching her off guard.

"Yes, I need to change my clothes." Jiang Si let Aqiao get a new skirt to change into. She raised her hand to tidy up her hair and hurried out.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Dongping and the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongchang are neighbors. Now that such a big thing has happened in the Mansion of the Marquis of Yongchang, it is impossible for the Mansion of the Marquis of Dongping to remain indifferent, both morally and logically.

Jiang Ancheng and others have already rushed over.

At this moment, the gate of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was crowded with people watching the excitement. Jiang Si and Ah Man went straight to the corner gate.

"Uncle Wang, I heard something happened in the mansion, I want to go see your eldest daughter."

The gatekeeper who was guarding the corner gate had watched Jiang Si grow up. Hearing this, he sighed and opened the door: "Go in, the girl is crying now..."

Jiang Like thanked the doorman and hurried inside. Countless servants were running back and forth along the way. From a distance, they could hear crying mixed with the desperate roar of men.

"Jiang Da, let me go, or we won't be friends anymore!"

Then a familiar voice came: "I would rather lose our friendship than let you go and let you do stupid things!"

Ah Man blinked and said, "It's the eldest master."

Jiang Si quickened his pace, squeezed in, and finally saw what was going on inside.

Jiang Ancheng pushed Yongchangbo down on the chair and shouted, "Bring the rope!"

Many servants were trembling with fear and did not react. Xie Yinlou silently passed a rope to them.

"Help hold down your father!" Jiang Ancheng was very satisfied with Xie Yinlou's actions and immediately gave orders.

The two of them worked together to tie up Earl Yongchang tightly.

Jiang Ancheng rubbed his left hand.

He injured his hand when he rescued Duke Anguo, and he couldn't use any strength in this hand, which was really inconvenient at the critical moment.

"You little beast, let me go!" Yongchang Bo couldn't persuade his old neighbor Jiang Ancheng, so he yelled at Xie Yinlou.

Xie Yinlou stood with his eyes downcast, looking as if he was ready to be beaten and scolded.

Jiang Si had sharp eyes and saw that the normally cold and arrogant boy now had red eyes, and was obviously trying hard to suppress the pain of losing his mother.

Xie Qingyao cried until her voice was hoarse: "Father, please don't scold my brother. If something happens to you again, what should we do——"

Yongchang Bosi ignored her daughter's pleas and banged her head against the back of the chair.

"Help the young lady into the house." Xie Yinlou ordered the maid beside him in a deep voice.

At this time Jiang Si came out and called out, "Qingyao."

Xie Qingyao saw through her tears that it was Jiang Si, and she reached out to hug her tightly and started crying.

Jiang Si patted Xie Qingyao's back gently and nodded slightly to Xie Yinlou: "I'll go in with Qingyao first."

Xie Yinlou nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Si helped Xie Qingyao into the house and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Xie Qingyao buried herself in Jiang Si's arms, crying bitterly: "Ah Si, I don't have a mother anymore, I don't have a mother anymore——"

Jiang Si opened his mouth, but found no way to comfort her. A line of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

She had lost her mother since she could remember, and had never experienced the pain of losing her mother. However, she had experienced all kinds of misfortunes, such as losing her brother and sister in her previous life. How could she not understand her friend's feelings at this moment?

What makes Jiang Si even more panic is that the situation in this life is completely different from that in her previous life. If she can't figure out why the wife of the Earl of Yongchang died, she will probably have sleepless nights.

It was still a mess outside. Although Jiang Si was anxious, he knew that this was not the time to ask questions. He let Xie Qingyao cry until she was tired, and then he said, "Qingyao, can you tell me what happened? Why would your uncle--"

Xie Qingyao covered his head and shouted: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it——"

Jiang Si hurriedly comforted her, "Yes, I don't believe that uncle would hurt aunt. Uncle and aunt are so loving, there must be some misunderstanding."

Xie Qingyao suddenly put her hands down and cried woodenly, "No, my mother... was really stabbed to death by my father with a candlestick. I just don't believe this would happen. Ah Si, I must be dreaming, right?"

Xie Qingyao suddenly reacted and grabbed Jiang Si's wrist tightly: "Tell me, I am dreaming, right? When I wake up from the nightmare, my mother is still fine..."

Jiang Si hugged Xie Qingyao and said softly, "Qingyao, wake up, your aunt is really gone."

"Ah——" Xie Qingyao screamed at the top of his lungs, as if only this could vent the pain that was about to overflow from his heart.

"Uncle and aunt were so loving, why are you sure that uncle killed aunt? There must be a misunderstanding—"

"No." Xie Qingyao cried until his tears dried up and laughed miserably, "I was embarrassed to tell you that my father suffered from sleepwalking. He killed my mother unconsciously..."
