Her job was simply to arrest people; her man would handle the affairs of the court.
Although the emperor granted her the right to attend court, she simply couldn't get up. Besides, it wasn't a matter that required her to personally intervene, so there was no need to let it affect her sleep.
The man thought that he would be fine after telling the truth, but he didn't expect to be taken to the court and have to meet the emperor directly. Was that someone he could face?
I couldn't catch my breath and immediately fainted.
Many people around watched this scene and applauded for He Jiu Niang.
The general's wife was not only beautiful and kind-hearted, doing good deeds for the people and speaking out for women all over the world, but she was also resolute and decisive, never hesitating to punish bad people.
Look at those two great fights just now, they even managed to throw that fat man away, their strength is not to be underestimated.
This wave has earned He Jiuniang countless new fans.
She thoroughly enjoyed it.
The recruitment process lasted three days, and a total of eighty-five girls were selected, including sixty-seven students receiving free tuition and eighteen students paying their own tuition. Before entering the academy, each girl was examined by an elderly matron.
However, it wasn't very strict; they just needed to confirm that the girl was a woman. Since the students attending the class included not only unmarried girls but also married women, unnecessary checks were not required.
A notice was posted at the entrance of the college, and a literate maid was specially sent to explain to everyone why a physical examination was necessary.
At first, everyone was somewhat resistant, but after learning the truth, they were much more cooperative and even cooperated with the inspection, for fear that some sleazy man might take the opportunity to sneak in and ruin everyone's reputation.
On the first day of school, a large number of people came to watch, and the scene was as lively as a shop opening. The women of the Lu family all came, and Jiang Ruoya and Madam Yao also came to help.
Since speaking her mind, Jiang Ruoya has been much more relaxed. She visits the Lu family every few days and gets along very well with them, no longer being as cautious as before.
After arriving at the college today, I took the initiative to greet the young girls who came to study, telling them where they lived and where their classes were, so they wouldn't go to the wrong place.
Watching her bustling about, He Jiuniang couldn't help but pull her aside and say, "Mother, you can just sit and watch. The maids will take care of these things."
"It's okay! I'm healthier now, and I'm in a better mood. I'm full of energy, and I can't sleep at night if I don't keep myself busy!"
Because I was trying to conceive, I was taking good care of my health, and my body has really improved a lot, so I naturally have more energy.
Of course, the main reason is He Jiuniang's excellent medical skills. She used to be out of breath after walking just a few steps, but now she can jump around all day and is full of energy.
He Jiuniang said, "Then you should go over there with my mother-in-law. That way, you'll have someone to look after you and prevent anyone from bumping into you. Otherwise, Father Ming will be heartbroken."
Seeing her teasing her like that, Jiang Ruoya blushed with embarrassment and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense!"
He Jiuniang chuckled and pulled Jiang Ruoya over anyway.
Just then, someone suddenly looked at Jiang Ruoya and felt that she looked very familiar.
"Madam, you...you look...I feel like I've seen you somewhere before!"
The woman was dressed in fine clothes and was probably the lady of a wealthy family. She had an apologetic smile on her face and had only stepped forward to verify Jiang Ruoya's identity.
Over the years, Jiang Ruoya rarely appeared in public while living in Jingzhou. After arriving in the capital, she would wear a veil whenever she went out, for fear of being recognized.
She forgot to wear her veil today and was actually recognized, which made her a little nervous.
With Mingze absent, she could only look to He Jiuniang.
He Jiuniang did not show any intention of backing down, but answered generously: "My mother has only been in the capital for a short time. You should have seen her when she was young. She was the only remaining youngest daughter of the Jiang family."
The noblewoman didn't react for a moment and asked, "Which Jiang family?"
"The Jiang family, who were wiped out overnight twenty years ago."
He Jiuniang smiled gently, but the other person was so frightened that he took two steps back. She had heard some of what happened back then.
Didn't the Jiang family commit suicide out of fear of punishment?
How could Madam Lu say that her entire family was wiped out?
Also, what did Mrs. Lu call Jiang Ruoya?
mother?
The relationship between the two of them...
Oh, right! Didn't we hear the Duke Mu's mansion saying all the time that Madam Lu was a daughter of the Duke's family? At the time, Madam Lu denied it, and everyone thought the Duke Mu's mansion was trying to extort money. Now it seems it might be true?
My goodness, this world is so surreal!
Even the noble lady, after eating such a big melon, was almost unable to stand up straight.
He Jiuniang continued, "There are other hidden stories about the Jiang family back then. We have been collecting evidence recently, and I believe the truth will be revealed soon."
The lady nodded repeatedly and said, "No wonder! I knew the Jiang family's affairs were so strange; it turns out there was more to the story! Madam Lu, you must investigate thoroughly and find out who harmed the Jiang family!"
"Yes, definitely."
He Jiuniang smiled warmly and watched the noble lady leave.
Judging from this lady's appearance, it won't be long before the Jiang family's affairs become the talk of the town.
The power of public opinion should never be underestimated in any era.
"Jiu'er, this matter hasn't been made public yet. Is it alright for you to say this out loud?"
Jiang Ruoya is somewhat weak-willed and worries that it would be bad if things were exposed prematurely.
"It's alright. We just need to get the people to bring up the old issues so that we can go with the flow more easily."
This matter should have been discussed long ago, but Dongting has left people in the shadows, so it cannot be announced for the time being. Let's just reveal some details.
Jiang Ruoya had a lot of confidence in He Jiuniang. If she said it was alright, then it must be alright. Jiang Ruoya was instantly relieved and followed Sun Shi to the other side to greet people.
Madam Sun sensed her earlier unease and whispered to comfort her, "It's nothing serious. The Emperor is a wise ruler and will surely clear your family's name."
Jiang Ruoya nodded, a faint smile on her lips.
In the past, she definitely wouldn't have been able to handle such a situation. After all, her whole family was gone overnight, and no one could bear that.
Fortunately, He Jiuniang had made her forget many things beforehand. Although she knew they were her family, she had no memory of spending time with them. Even if she felt a little sad, she wouldn't lose her composure too much.
Just as Jiu Niang had predicted, a few days later, the Jiang family's affair was brought up again by everyone, and the entire Jiang family committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Even now, thinking about it still feels terrifying.
The officials at the time didn't investigate thoroughly and just dealt with it hastily, saying that the Jiang family colluded with the enemy and became traitors. Only now that the truth has come out has it been dealt with cleanly.
Although the people found it strange, that was what public opinion was saying at the time, and they were all misled.
Looking back now, I feel like I was used as a pawn back then!
Who would take their whole family with them when they commit suicide out of guilt?
They didn't even leave behind any descendants.
