When Jiang Yuwei returned to the mansion, she saw Wang Ma rushing over in a hurry.
"Madam Jiang, something terrible has happened! Xu Qianqian! Xu Qianqian has killed someone!"
Jiang Yuwei was startled upon hearing this.
"How could that be? She's still recovering in the hospital, how could she have killed someone?"
"She looked like she'd gone mad. Just now, she killed that Miss Lianyao in her young master's courtyard!"
Jiang Yuwei grabbed Wang Ma's hand and asked nervously:
"Is Miss Lianyao dead?"
Wang Ma nodded with a pale face.
"Yes, there was blood everywhere, she's dead. The young master seems to be in shock too. Xu Qianqian has been taken into custody by several servants. They went to the Princess's courtyard to report this, but I kept it a secret from the Princess and came directly to you!"
Jiang Yuwei nodded.
“You did the right thing. The princess has only just recovered a little. There’s no need for her to worry about these irrelevant things. Come, let’s go to the eldest young master’s courtyard.”
When Jiang Yuwei arrived in a hurry with Wang Ma and Xia Yue, Lian Yao's body had already been taken away, leaving only a large pool of blood in the center of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei sighed helplessly and then instructed the servant beside her:
"Go buy a coffin and take Miss Lianyao outside the city for a proper burial. Her life has not been easy."
The servant received the order and left.
Jiang Yuwei wasn't surprised to see Ning Chunlin hiding inside, too frightened to come out; he had never shown any sense of responsibility as a man.
Jiang Yuwei even believed that if danger were to truly occur, Ning Chunlin would definitely be the first to push those around him out to shield them from harm.
Seeing that he was also quite frightened by Xu Qianqian, she simply stopped paying attention to him. All of this was his fault. If he hadn't been philandering outside, things wouldn't have turned out this way, with such unrest at home.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the maidservant in the courtyard, who was still in shock.
Where is Xu Qianqian now?
"The young master was afraid that she would hurt others again, so he ordered her to be locked in the woodshed."
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said to her:
"Lead the way."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, the maidservant hurriedly and shakily led Jiang Yuwei toward the woodshed.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei reached the door, she heard Xu Qianqian shouting and yelling inside.
"I will kill you all to pay for my child's life. My child died unjustly. My child comes to me every night to claim his life. I will kill you all!"
Jiang Yuwei frowned as she listened to her cries, then walked to the door and ordered the servant to open it.
Xu Qianqian was bound tightly to a pillar, her body twisting desperately in an attempt to break free. Blood splattered on her face from killing Lian Yao was still visible. Wang Ma, who was standing next to Jiang Yuwei, was startled by the sight and quickly covered her face with a handkerchief to avoid looking at her.
Upon seeing that the person who arrived was Jiang Yuwei, Xu Qianqian immediately roared like a madwoman again:
"Jiang Yuwei, you've come here to laugh at me, haven't you? You're better than me in everything, you do everything better than me. Now that you've married Brother Huaizhi, you've stolen my good fortune. I'm going to kill you!"
Jiang Yuwei sneered.
"Although you always compare yourself to me and treat me like a thorn in your side, I really don't care about you."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Xu Qianqian stared intently at Jiang Yuwei.
"I will never let you go, even if I die!"
"You're nothing but a cowardly coward. Why won't you let me go? It's not like I killed your child or forced you to marry Ning Chunlin. You brought this upon yourself! Can you blame anyone else?"
Xu Qianqian shook her head frantically, gritting her teeth as she shouted:
"Who was it? Who killed my child? That's right, it was Lian Yao, it was Sun Shi, and it was Ning Chunlin. I will kill all these ungrateful wretches!"
As she spoke, Xu Qianqian suddenly turned around, looked at Jiang Yuwei, and gave her a wicked smile.
"You, Jiang Yuwei, I won't let you go either. I'll kill you, I'll kill you all, I'll kill everyone in the Prince's mansion. You're the ones who ruined my child!"
Seeing that Xu Qianqian's expression and demeanor were quite strange, Jiang Yuwei thought that she really seemed to have gone mad. So, Jiang Yuwei decided not to provoke her any further and simply grabbed a wooden stick and knocked Xu Qianqian unconscious.
Only then did he approach her, take her wrist to check her pulse, and after a while, Jiang Yuwei got up.
“This person has indeed gone mad. The Prince’s Mansion cannot keep her now. Since she has killed someone, let’s send her to the authorities to avoid getting involved with the Prince’s Mansion again in the future.”
Wang Ma nodded, and was just about to order someone to report to the authorities when she saw Sun Shi, her face stumbling and crying, running in from outside.
"No, no, don't send her to the authorities. My sister has had a hard life. She just lost her child and has gone mad. This is all the responsibility of our royal family. If we don't find a royal physician to cure her and just send her away like this, what will others think of our royal family?"
Seeing Sun's hypocritical act, Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but sneer. When did she become so kind-hearted, not even allowing her to report to the authorities? Who knows what kind of trouble Xu Qianqian would cause if she kept her in the Prince's mansion?
Jiang Yuwei even suspected that Xu Qianqian's sudden madness might be related to Sun Shi. Maybe it was Sun Shi who scared Xu Qianqian into going crazy by pretending to be a ghost, which is why she came to Lian Yao for revenge first.
She had made herself very clear that day, and even if Xu Qianqian was stupid, she should know that Sun Shi played a crucial role in the death of her child.
Now that she's gone mad, the first person she killed wasn't Sun Shi but Lian Yao, which made Jiang Yuwei somewhat suspicious.
At this moment, Madam Sun ran out again to stop Jiang Yuwei from taking Xu Qianqian to see the official, perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Qianqian would say something detrimental to her if she went crazy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei looked Sun up and down and sneered.
“Sun, you’re jumping out now to stop us from taking Xu Qianqian to see the magistrate. I’m afraid it’s related to this matter. Otherwise, why would you be so kind? Wang Ma has already sent someone to the government office.”
Jiang Yuwei glanced at Madam Sun's somewhat pale face and continued:
"If you continue to obstruct me, I will take Xu Qianqian to your own courtyard and hide her away. I just heard her say that you are the next one to be killed."
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun clenched the handkerchief in her hand, glanced at Xu Qianqian who was still unconscious, and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Jiang Yuwei, you are truly judging others by your own petty standards. I simply didn't want to watch the Jingwang Mansion lose face."
As she spoke, Mrs. Sun looked at Jiang Yuwei with red eyes.
"And have you considered Chunlin's situation? He just lost Miss Lianyao, and now you're going to send Xu Qianqian to see the authorities. He won't even have anyone to rely on in the future!"
