Chapter 53: Defeat Them One by One
The last time Jiang Zhaoyue went back to her parents' home, she talked back to Jiang Shihong, humiliated Jiang Wanxue, slapped Jiang Wanxue, and ranted in the backyard... In the end, the list of gifts she presented to her parents' parents were all worthless dowry items.
How can there be such a married woman? !
He is clearly an ungrateful person!
Wu was so angry that she handed the list of return gifts and all the return gifts to her servants for disposal.
She still doesn't know what was written on the return gift list, and she hates Jiang Zhaoyue with all her heart.
When she heard that Jiang Wanxue had a way to destroy Jiang Zhaoyue, she was very excited. She went into Jiang Zhaoyue's boudoir in person, took out the sachet and gave it to Jiang Wanxue.
Unexpectedly...
I didn’t expect that… there are only a limited number of these sachets.
But she definitely couldn't admit such a thing, so she immediately played dumb and said, "I don't know, I don't know."
"What's the matter with the sachet?" Jiang Shihong asked again.
Mrs. Wu looked anxious: "I don't know either."
Jiang Shihong was dissatisfied: "How could the mistress of Chengning Marquis Mansion not know about the affairs of the rear house?"
"With so many things going on in the harem, how could I have noticed a small sachet?"
Jiang Shihong was speechless.
Wu looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Someone must have deliberately stolen the sachet to frame you."
Jiang Zhaoyue said, "Mother is so smart that she knows such an obvious thing!"
Although she didn't understand Jiang Zhaoyue's strange choice of words, Wu knew that Jiang Zhaoyue was mocking her, and she felt angry.
"But..." Jiang Zhaoyue paused deliberately.
Wu said unhappily, "Just what?"
"It's just that mother is the mistress of the Chengning Marquis's mansion. She holds the keys to all the courtyards in the Chengning Marquis's mansion, including her daughter's courtyard." Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Wu and asked, "Is that right, mother?"
This is a fact.
Wu had to admit: "Yes."
"'Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.' My daughter's biological mother has been building her courtyard since she married into the Chengning Marquis's Mansion. Therefore, her courtyard is the best and safest environment in the entire Chengning Marquis's Mansion, isn't it?"
Wu had no choice but to answer, "That's right."
"Without a key, without fire, without a sword, no one can sneak in and steal anything, including the sachet." Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Wu and asked, "Is that right, mother?"
Wu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Jiang Zhaoyue curled her lips: "So mother said that someone deliberately stole the sachet and framed me. Could that person be mother?"
"Nonsense!" Wu retorted in panic.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked leisurely: "Isn't it?"
Wu said loudly: "Of course not!"
"That is..." Jiang Zhaoyue turned to Jiang Wanxue with a smile.
Jiang Wanxue immediately denied loudly: "I didn't touch your things!"
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't get angry either. She slowly turned her gaze to Madam Liu, Wu's most capable and trusted person, who had also set the most traps for the original owner. "If it's not my mother, then it must be someone close to my mother..."
Nanny Liu was startled.
Wu immediately retorted, "It can't be her, it must be someone else!"
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and asked, "Who can get my mother's key?!"
Wu has been in charge of the Chengning Marquis Mansion for many years and has been very disciplined in her work.
All the servants in the mansion knew that she held all the keys, and only Jiang Wanxue and Matron Liu could use them with her permission.
I never thought that Jiang Zhaoyue also knew this detail.
She wanted to refute, but all of Jiang Zhaoyue's speculations were linked together, and she couldn't find a breakthrough.
Jiang Wanxue then continued, "A few days ago, my mother lost a few sets of keys. Maybe someone found them and opened my eldest sister's gate."
What about the servants taking advantage of the opportunity to pick up keys, stealing sachets while cleaning, etc. Even if they really did it, they would not be able to contact Yang Yanchen.
Jiang Zhaoyue ignored Jiang Wanxue's words and continued to look at Wu, asking, "Mother, was it my second sister who took the sachet, or was it Aunt Liu who stole it?"
Mrs. Wu did not answer.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Shihong: "Father, what do you say?"
Jiang Shihong looked at Wu: "What's going on?"
The situation was now in front of her. One was her own daughter, and the other was the old nanny who accompanied her. Mrs. Wu did not want to give up either of them.
But his intention to defile the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo failed... The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Wang Shi, Lord Pei, Pei Jingzhou and others already knew about it.
Wang did not express her opinion, but Pei Jingzhou did not intend to let this matter go and stood firmly on Jiang Zhaoyue's side.
If she continued to resist, and if Pei Jingzhou continued to investigate by relying on his important position in the Ministry of Personnel, the emperor's attention, his relationship with the Supreme Court, and his ability to handle cases, then she really had no guarantee of escaping unscathed.
This matter was clearly planned perfectly, but why are there loopholes everywhere now?
It’s Jiang Zhaoyue!
It’s Jiang Zhaoyue!
It was because Jiang Zhaoyue didn't fall into Yang Yanchen's trap that everything became so difficult and she was so conflicted.
"Wu!" Jiang Shihong said unhappily.
"My lord, it's this old servant!" Nanny Liu suddenly knelt down with a plop.
Wu and Jiang Wanxue were stunned.
"It was this old servant who stole the young lady's sachet and framed her!" Matron Liu admitted her mistake.
Jiang Shihong was puzzled: "Why do you do this?"
"I cannot bear to see the eldest daughter acting so arrogantly and disrespecting her elders, betraying the lady's love, so I want to teach her a lesson." Nanny Liu recounted all the plans without a single flaw, which meant she took all the blame.
"Do you know what crime it is to frame others?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"I am responsible for my own actions." Madam Liu has made up her mind.
"Then take it down." Pei Jingzhou said.
"Yes." Pei Jingying.
"Madam Liu!" Wu rushed to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu pulled Wu's arm and said, "Madam, I have done what I deserve."
"Take him away." Pei Jingzhou said.
Pei Jing and several servants took Madam Liu and Yang Yanchen away together.
"Madame Liu, Madame Liu." Wu went after her.
"Mother." Jiang Wanxue hurried to hug Wu.
When Jiang Shihong saw Diao Nu doing such a thing, he was angry and ashamed, and hurriedly apologized to Wang and Pei Jingzhou.
Wang and Pei Siyan looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and said some polite words.
"After I go back, I will definitely reflect and teach carefully." Jiang Shihong promised.
"We should also reflect on this." Wang said politely.
Things had gotten to this point, and Jiang Shihong felt embarrassed to stay any longer. He planned to go back and deal with it, and come back another day to apologize to the Duke of Zhenguo: "Then we will go back first."
"Goodbye." Wang said.
Pei Jingzhou looked indifferent.
Jiang Zhaoyue watched quietly.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Jiang Shihong scolded Jiang Wanxue.
Jiang Wanxue hurriedly helped the dazed Wu out.
"Mother, I told you not to play those shallow tricks of yours in front of me, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." Jiang Zhaoyue whispered as Wu walked past.
Wu suddenly paused and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue.
Jiang Zhaoyue tilted her head and smiled: "This time, we only lost one Madam Liu. If you try to trick me next time, it won't be so easy."
Wu stared at Jiang Zhaoyue with poisonous eyes.
"Take care, mother." Jiang Zhaoyue smiled.
"Hurry up!" Jiang Shihong urged.
Wu reluctantly followed Jiang Wanxue away.
The pavilion, which was noisy just now, became quiet in an instant.
Wang said: "This matter..."
Jiang Zhaoyue turned to Wang: "Mother, there are still some doubts about this matter."
Wang and Pei Siyan were shocked.
Before Jiang Zhaoyue could say anything, Pei Jingzhou looked at Pei Siyan and said, "Third sister, how did Xiaotao know about the sachet that Zhaoyue embroidered when she was still unmarried?"
