Chapter 120 Follow-up
"My mother wasn't sold. She was rented out by the Zhou family. Hehe, rented out to someone else to give birth to a son."
She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
"Isn't it a coincidence? The family that took my mother in to give birth to a child was a member of the Wu family's branch. My mother gave birth to another son and daughter in that family. If I hadn't tried every possible way to find out, she wouldn't have been targeted by the old family again."
Now that the cause has been explained, there is nothing worth hiding afterwards.
"Princess Muhua's husband died in battle, so she returned to her parents' home to live as a widow. After Prince Yihuai captured Maocheng, many generals divorced their wives and married other women from Maocheng.
I don't know why the Wu family set their sights on the Jiang family, and I had just become a slave there. Last time, Nanny Fu recognized me, and Princess Muhua had someone find out about my mother, and that's how she got me."
There is no need to say anything else. Lu Guo kowtowed to his lady.
"I didn't intend to betray my master. Princess Muhua failed to force Madam to abdicate, so she became murderous. She sent people to poison me repeatedly, asking me to find an opportunity to kill her. But, but I can't bear to betray my master."
"Then why did you have the heart to betray me this time?"
Jiang Han knew there must be a reason, and she knew that no matter what the reason was, she could not forgive Lu Guo, but she wanted to hear the reason why she had to betray her.
"Because my mother's contract has expired. If Miss Wu is deliberately forcing that person not to take my mother in, she will definitely not end well if she returns to the Zhou family."
Lu Guo opened his eyes and looked at the eldest lady.
"I am willing to plead guilty and accuse Miss Wu of ordering me to murder Madam. I have evidence! I only ask, Miss, that you can pull my mother out of the Zhou family's hell. Please have mercy on me."
This girl was indeed smart. She knew exactly what situation would maximize her benefits. Jiang Wan didn't directly reject her request, but only asked after thinking for a few breaths.
"What evidence do you have? That Wu Shuyao wouldn't be so stupid as to leave you any letters, right?"
"No, this slave has this."
Lu Guo pulled a thin green string from around her neck. At the bottom hung a delicately crafted turquoise ring. Her trembling fingers struggled to pry at the ring's face, her voice remarkably calm.
"This was taken from her finger by Wu Shuyao herself during the chaos at Kaifu Temple last time. She told me to pour this medicine into Madam's vegetarian meal."
"Last time?"
The Jiang sisters looked at each other.
"Is it the day we went to Kaifu Temple to perform a ritual for my grandparents? And that Wu Shuyao was there too?"
"yes!"
Jiang Wan took the ring and examined it.
"What is this?"
"I'm not sure, but I think it's something like the Dangbao pills that cause abortion. I didn't do it last time, so this time she found my mother."
"How can you prove that this ring is hers? If she denies it, what can you do?"
"Young lady, you may not know that most of these jewels come in sets. When I saw her head ornaments and earrings, they were all the same style as this ring. If the authorities wanted to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out."
Jiang Wan pondered the logic behind the whole thing and felt that the entire line of facts was very clear. Then he clenched the ring in his hand, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I agree to your request, follow me!"
Her right hand reached for the whip at her waist and she shouted orders as she walked outside.
"Ma Fei, go gather your men. If you can't redeem yourself today, I'll teach you a lesson when you return!"
"yes!"
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Jiang Han grabbed his sister's sleeve, but she pulled it off.
"Second brother, you stay home and watch the door. I'll take people to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion to seek justice!"
"I'll go too..."
"Are you going to hold me back?"
Jiang Wan glared at his sister and then spoke slowly.
"Don't tell Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma for now. I'll tell them myself when I get back."
"sister…"
Seeing her sister's mental state clearly on the verge of going crazy again, Jiang Han was extremely worried. But there was no good way to stop it. She had never been able to be her sister's home.
"My lady, I have betrayed you in this life. In my next life, I am willing to serve you like a slave and repay the debt I owe you in this life."
He forced himself to kneel on the ground and bowed respectfully to his master before he stood up and staggered out.
Jiang Han didn't know how to express her current discomfort. She hated Lu Guo, but she also felt sorry for him.
Jiang Wan dragged out Ruhua and Luguo, the tainted witness, and rode his horse with great fanfare all the way to the Yongning Marquis's mansion. He jumped off his horse in front of the mansion and without saying a word, violently demolished the door lintel of Old Wu's house.
The servant at the gatehouse of the Wu family was so frightened that he ran back to the mansion screaming to report the news.
"Master, something bad has happened! Someone is coming to our door!"
"What?!"
Marquis Yongning is an elegant man in his forties. Although he does not have the ability to achieve great achievements on the battlefield like Jiang Huailiang, he has something in his hands!
When Prince Yihuai invaded Maocheng, he boldly opened the gates and surrendered to the enemy, or rather, he surrendered to the light. He also gave away most of his family property, successfully protecting his family during the critical period of dynastic change, and successfully transitioned from a foreign king to the current Marquis of Yongning.
This shows that this man is quite resourceful, so he can thrive in the new dynasty. He thinks that he has shown respect to both the new nobles and the civil and military officials.
Why would someone knock on my door when all is well? He stood up in frustration and walked out.
"Who dares to bully me like this?"
"It's me, your great aunt!"
Wu Hongda didn't even hear what was said clearly, he just felt a flash before his eyes, a gust of wind in his ears, a dull pain in his stomach, and he flew backwards.
"puff!"
The man fell to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath and spitting blood all over his sleeve.
“You, you…”
"Yes, it's me! I'm the eldest daughter of the Duke of Lingguo's family, Jiang Wan!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the man arrived and whipped him vigorously.
"I know you're anxious right now because you don't know why you got beaten, but don't worry. Once I'm done beating you and have vented my anger, we can go to the Emperor and have a good talk!"
While practicing with your hands, your mouth is also not idle.
"Tear down Old Wu's house! If I see a brick or tile fall together, you'll all move to Ruhua's stable!"
Oh my god, Miss, this threat is too bad! Ruhua is a dog who is guarding his nest. Whoever squats next to him will be kicked!
Wang Bao, who had been crying in his heart just now, immediately shuddered, remembering the fear he had felt when he was dominated by the eldest lady last time. He quickly picked up his sword and waved his claws to call his men to work.
"What are you all still standing there for? Go ahead!"
After howling, he took the lead and rushed forward, fighting with the guards of Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
