Chapter 350 Suspicion
Chu Yi walked away with a depressed look on his face.
Xie Guimo accompanied Chen Tang shopping. After walking two streets, they felt tired and went back to Jingyang Palace.
As soon as they returned to Prince Jingyang's mansion, the maid came up and said, "Concubine Jiang wanted to visit the prisoner at the Ministry of Justice, but she was not allowed in. She went to beg the prince, but the prince refused to see her. Concubine Jiang knelt outside the prince's study..."
Since she couldn't see the prince, she resorted to self-torture. Where did her stubbornness go when the prince asked her to apologize?
Officials and bandits colluded to rob passing ships. Even the prince could not protect them from this crime.
Concubine Jiang knelt outside the study. Steward Zhou tried to persuade her countless times, but Concubine Jiang refused to leave. "Your Highness, can you bear to watch the Jiang family fall like this, and lose to the Crown Prince and his wife?!"
Not to mention the prince, even Manager Zhou couldn't stand it. What does it mean to be defeated by the Crown Prince and his wife?
It's not like the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess put a knife to Mr. Jiang's neck and forced him to accept bribes and do illegal things that could cost his life. Since he has done it, he will fail one day.
The Jiang family must behave uprightly. Who can do anything to the Jiang family? If the Jiang family is truly innocent, can the prince just sit back and watch?
Concubine Jiang did not blame her brother for ruining the ancestral foundation, but instead put all the faults on the Crown Prince and his wife. I have never seen anyone so selfish and unreasonable.
Something happened in the military camp, and the prince came out of the study. Concubine Jiang rushed over and hugged the prince's legs, "Please, prince, save the Jiang family, save my brother..."
The prince's face was gloomy, "Do you know that he is related to the Ganzhou case?!"
Concubine Jiang shook her head repeatedly, "I don't know..."
The prince said, "If you had thought about the consequences when doing these things, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
"He doesn't care about the lives of the Jiang family. Now that the evidence is solid, you want me to save him and the Jiang family. What can I use to save him?"
Concubine Jiang cried, "My brother is useless. Before his death, father asked you to look after him more, and you agreed. You can't just watch the Jiang family being ruined like this..."
The prince's forehead was bulging with veins when he heard this.
Before his death, Old Master Jiang asked the prince to take care of the Jiang family, but how should he take care of it? Should he treat Old Master Jiang like his son?
What's more, he can't even control his own son.
The prince said, "If he confesses the mastermind truthfully, his crime will be commensurate with his merits. After the Ministry of Justice sentences him, I will ask the emperor to plead for his life."
This is the limit of what the prince can do, but Concubine Jiang feels it is not enough.
In Concubine Jiang's view, the prince is omnipotent. It's not that he can't save her, but that he is unwilling to save her and is ungrateful.
The prince was already tired of this kind of thing where people lied before doing things and then made trouble for him to clean up. Concubine Jiang held the prince's feet tightly and asked the prince to even bring out the deceased old lady for the sake of the Jiang family's raising her.
If he could save her, why wouldn't His Majesty save her?
The prince had completely lost his patience. He pushed hard with his feet, broke free from Concubine Jiang's tightly embrace, and left.
Concubine Jiang was dragged forward by the prince and fell. Her hands were scratched on the bluestone floor, leaving a lot of blood.
The prince left, but Concubine Jiang was still stubborn. She was really stubborn. She was still kneeling outside the study, as if she would die on her knees outside the study if the prince didn't save the Jiang family.
They came back late from lunch, and the kitchenette thought they would not go back home for lunch, so they did not prepare anything and just had a simple meal. They had dinner half an hour earlier than usual, and after dinner, Chen Tang took Ginkgo Qiutong for a walk in the garden.
Because Chen Tang almost fell off the bridge two days ago, he didn't dare to walk on the bridge and would rather take a detour. The two maids suffered a great loss and became more cautious.
Being plotted against and becoming a frightened bird in her own palace is a shame to think about. However, evil deeds will be punished by God. Jiang Huier was imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice. It's a pity that the Ministry of Justice couldn't arrest Concubine Jiang as well. Why didn't the Ministry of Justice suspect that the stolen money was given to Concubine Jiang by Mr. Jiang?
Not to mention all of it, at least some of it must have fallen into the hands of Concubine Jiang.
Of course the Ministry of Justice had suspected it, but Mr. Jiang denied it flatly. The Ministry of Justice could not just go into Prince Jingyang's Mansion to search for Concubine Jiang without any evidence, so they could only continue to interrogate Mr. Jiang and wait until they really got something out of him.
The evening sky is breathtakingly beautiful.
There was a swing in the garden, so Chen Tang sat on it and swung, watching the clouds sweeping across the sky.
Si Er came over and said, "Crown Princess, Concubine Jiang fainted from kneeling down."
"Where's the prince?" Shen Tang asked casually.
"The prince is still in the barracks."
Tomorrow is a day off, and the prince is still in the military camp at this time. Maybe he is planning to stay overnight.
However, this was a matter between the prince and Concubine Jiang, and it was not Shen Tang's turn to intervene, and Shen Tang was unwilling to ask any more questions.
After staying in the garden for another quarter of an hour, Chen Tang prepared to return to Chenxiangxuan.
Concubine Jiang fainted from kneeling. The prince was not at home, so the servant reported to Steward Zhou. Steward Zhou asked the maid to help Concubine Jiang back. No one asked Concubine Jiang to kneel in the first place. She insisted on doing so. Even if the prince was in the mansion, he would have treated her the same way.
When Chen Tang returned, he saw from afar the maid helping Concubine Jiang over. Concubine Jiang had woken up, but her knees hurt from kneeling for so long that she had difficulty walking.
There was nothing surprising about this, but just when the maid couldn't support Concubine Jiang, a scene occurred that made Shen Tang raise his eyebrows.
The Second Master took a quick step and supported Concubine Jiang who was about to fall to the ground. Concubine Jiang grabbed the Second Master like a person drowning in the sea, grabbing a savior, "Do you have any way to save the Jiang family?!"
The second master dodged and called the maid who was cleaning the place, "Help to help the concubine go back."
The second master strode back to the South Courtyard.
But the scene of him quickly walking over to help Concubine Jiang was still lingering in his mind, even after Chen Tang returned to Chenxiangxuan.
Concubine Jiang fainted from her knees, but the prince didn't care. Concubine Jiang fell, but the Second Master reacted so quickly. Concubine Jiang was so eager and natural to ask the Second Master to save the Jiang family. Maybe it was out of woman's self-awareness, but she always felt something was weird.
The old lady was ambitious. When she married into the family, she gave her a sterilizing drug. However, after Xie Guimo died in his previous life, the title was inherited by Xie Guiyin.
Even Xie Guimo was killed by them, wouldn't it be easy to kill Xie Guiyin?
But it doesn't happen.
Chen Tang kept explaining that they were in the same group.
But given the old lady's temperament, it is impossible for her to fight to the end. The title will not be in her hands, but will be inherited by the prince's son. What's the difference between her and Xie Guimo?
The Jingyang Palace will surely reach a higher level in the hands of Xie Guimo, but in the hands of Xie Guiyin, it is likely to be devoured step by step.
The old lady and everyone in the Jingyang Palace must understand the principle that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.
Chen Tang tried his best to suppress the thought that the prince was being cuckolded. Concubine Jiang was the prince's cousin. If she teamed up with outsiders to cuckold her cousin, it would be almost as if Concubine Jiang had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Don't think too much.
If the prince knew this, he would be so furious.
