Chapter 220 The Traitor
"So noisy..." Master Jiang Wu listened to the noisy footsteps and shouting, and sat up, holding his head.
A drop of blood dripped down his wrist, startling him.
He slowly lowered his hand, only to see a bloody dagger in it.
On the bed not far away, Madam Xie's body was covered in blood.
"What the hell is going on?!"
He was confused when the noisy noises outside became clearer.
"Fence off the yard, don't let the murderer get away!"
Soon after, Xie Heng rushed in with a large group of people.
Looking at the scene in the house, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Jiang Wu, how dare you kill my mother? I want you to pay with your life!"
Master Jiang Wu quickly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, father-in-law, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Xie Heng sneered, "If it is a misunderstanding, then tell me, why didn't you come to the wedding reception, but came to the backyard of my Xie Mansion?"
"This..." Master Jiang Wu was a little hesitant.
If he revealed the purpose of the Xie family's backyard, it would inevitably involve his deal with He Jinyun.
He Jinyun is his cash cow. If he betrays her, where can he find someone so easy to control and rich in the future?
"Can't tell? Then go to jail and tell it!" Xie Heng immediately gave the order to arrest Master Jiang Wu.
Master Jiang Wu immediately shouted, "I want to see the eldest mistress of your Xie Mansion. She will clear my name!"
If He Jinyun didn't want to expose what she had done, she would definitely find a way to clear him of the grievances!
Ho Kam Wan did come, but her purpose was to persuade him to plead guilty.
"Master Jiang Wu, please stop being so stubborn. The maids and servants in the mansion all saw you committing murder. You can't get away with it."
After saying this, she lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear, "Fifth Master, someone wants to frame you and me. You should confess first, and I will find a way to rescue you later."
Master Jiang Wu looked at her warily, "Really?"
"You have such a big handle on me. What good will it do for me to turn against you?"
Master Jiang Wu thought so too. He had the leverage over her, so why should he be afraid of her?
He immediately opened his mouth, ready to confess.
In the crowd, Xie Zhuoning leaned on the railing and watched the show from afar.
Seeing that He Jinyun had actually coaxed Jiang Wuye around, he quietly curved his lips and said, "Fuling, it's your turn."
Fuling immediately pinched her throat and shouted in the crowd, "Oh my God, come and see, the 64-kg dowry prepared by the Xie family is actually all made of stones! Could it be that they regret this marriage?"
Jiang Wuye, who was about to plead guilty, suddenly came to his senses upon hearing this, and his eyebrows were furious. "He Jinyun, what do you mean?"
As soon as she regained consciousness, she remembered that before she fell unconscious, she seemed to have drunk a cup of tea that He Jinyun had her maid bring to her.
How dare she plot against herself!
He Jinyun gritted his teeth and frowned.
She did this in secret, who jumped out and exposed her?
Even Xie Heng looked at her suspiciously.
As for the dowry, she was in charge of the whole process, so how come it turned into a stone?
He Jinyun cried so hard that his eyes turned red, and he was heartbroken. "Master Jiang Wu, how much do you want to be satisfied? You have already squandered the dowry of my third sister. Now you see that my third sister has been squeezed dry of blood and flesh, and you turn around and target my elderly grandmother. How can you do this?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.
It turns out that the dowry was full of stones because it had long been squandered by Master Jiang Wu.
The Xie family is really pitiful. They got involved with such a scumbag and not only lost their property, but also a life!
Master Jiang Wu was furious, "You are talking nonsense, I didn't kill anyone!"
But someone pointed to the blood on his body and the banknotes in his arms and said, "The evidence is all here."
Oh, and there's the bloody dagger at his feet.
Everyone is saying that he is the murderer!
Seeing that no one believed him, his eyes darkened and he immediately became fierce, "He Jinyun, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
"You and your third sister are not good people. You didn't bother to harm Miss Xie, but instead I broke your third sister's virginity. In order to cover up the scandal, you had no choice but to get married!"
"If it weren't for the money, do you think I would be willing to marry a slut?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
They all say that the inside of a high-class house is a mess, but they didn't expect it to be even messier than they imagined.
He Jinyun is about to continue to sell badly, and Mr. Jiang Wu has a very bad reputation. People will definitely only believe themselves and not him.
Unexpectedly, Xie Heng spoke first, his tone was decisive, "You are talking nonsense! When and where has such a ridiculous thing ever happened in my Xie family? Master Jiang Wu doesn't need to make random accusations in order to clear his name!"
"What I said is true! If you don't believe me, you can just call me Xie Da..."
Before Master Jiang Wu could finish his words, an arrow shot through his throat.
Everyone was startled and turned around to look. Suddenly, they all knelt down and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The archers put away their bows and retreated behind Xiao Bicheng.
He glanced at them calmly and said, "Jiang Wu killed people and robbed them, and slandered important officials of the court. He should be executed!"
Everyone was shocked and knelt down and bowed their heads, "Prince is wise!"
Everyone knew clearly that the prince was supporting Xie Heng.
If anyone dares to speak of the Xie family in the future, he will be treated as someone who slandered an important official of the imperial court.
He Jinyun breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he was so lucky.
She thought it would take some effort to get rid of Master Jiang Wu, but she didn't expect that even God would help her so much.
In order to maintain the reputation of the Xie family, my father-in-law would not admit those ugly things and could only insist that Master Jiang Wu was talking nonsense.
In order to support his father-in-law, the prince not only killed Master Jiang Wu, but also suppressed all the rumors.
Now that Master Jiang Wu is dead and the old woman is dead too, she can finally live her life in peace.
But just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she caught a glimpse of Xie Zhuoning, who had already arrived at Old Madam Xie's bedside and shouted excitedly, "Great, grandma is still alive, grandma is still alive!"
After hearing this, Ho Kam Wan felt as if he was hallucinating and had a sense of unreality.
The old lady is still alive...
How is it possible that old woman is still alive?!
She was so flustered that she pinched her fingers to comfort herself.
It's okay, it's okay, that old woman has been unconscious for a long time, even if she is alive, she can't say anything...
Xie Heng, who was standing by, heard the good news and rushed to the bedside in a hurry, "Mother, I am unfilial and I am late!"
Old Madam Xie woke up dimly, with a cold and stern look on her face, "You are unfilial. You let Yuan Geer marry a disaster into the family! If it weren't for my good luck, he would have been killed by He Jinyun long ago!"
In the past, she always thought that family disgrace should not be made public and she always wanted to cover up everything.
But only now did she realize that if she didn't cut out the rotten and smelly abscess, the wound would never heal!
"Jinyun?" Xie Heng was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Mother, did you remember it wrongly? Didn't Master Jiang Wu want to kill you?"
Madam Xie's chest was heaving with excitement, "You are so confused! If there is no traitor, how could Jiang Wuye, a stranger, get into this old woman's place?"
Si Xi even walked out from the crowd and told the whole story about how He Jinyun had given the old lady poison, how he had sent away all the old servants who served the old lady, and even how he was beaten to death with sticks just because he asked the eldest lady to come over to take a look at the old lady!
Xie Zhuoning looked at He Jinyun and shook his head with a look of deep sorrow, "Sister-in-law, you are in charge of the Xie family's financial support, and you are still not satisfied? You even want to kill grandma and take all her life savings for yourself!"
