Chapter 183 The Ye Family Must Be Destroyed
Yunxiang on the side finally couldn't help it.
"You already have a wife and a son!"
Zhang Jian was not surprised. Yunxiang probably didn't expect that the eldest lady would be so cruel.
"I'm currently in a powerful position in the mansion, so there's nothing wrong with the eldest lady's arrangement. It's much better than marrying your sister off to those elderly stewards..."
Yunxiang had no way to refute this.
Gu Ruanci glanced at Yunxiang but still didn't say anything.
Yunxiang herself had to admit that Zhang Jian was right, and since Gu Ruanci hadn't asked her yet, she had no choice but to shut up.
Seeing that Gu Ruanci had no intention of interrupting, Zhang Jian had no choice but to continue.
"After what happened that day, the Second Master quickly found an excuse to help Heiyan leave the mansion. As for Yunxiang, she never went to the mass grave from beginning to end. Instead, she was directly thrown into that dilapidated temple to wait for the County Lady... Heiyan had plenty of time, because she only needed to go out and block the County Lady."
"As for Yunxiang's future fate, the Second Master said that once the County Lady heard about your biological mother, she would naturally feel sympathy."
"After that, I'll keep in touch with Yunxiang at all times."
He had repeated some of the things he said. Gu Ruanci knew that he didn't want to be tortured, so he tried to think about it again.
"Why does your Second Master suddenly want to deal with our Gu family?"
Gu Ruanci stood up, she wanted to know this more.
Zhang Jian looked to the side and saw that Nong Chun and Zang Xia were not moved at all and had no intention of avoiding them.
Feeling increasingly weak, Zhang Jian even wanted to lie on the ground.
However, he forced himself to continue, "Second Master believes that the matter concerning my young master must be related to the County Lord. After all, apart from the County Lord, he really can't think of anyone else who has a grudge against the Ye family."
Gu Ruanci actually had some appreciation for Ye Chi.
"The young master's death was so peculiar. It was exactly the same as the accident that happened to the third young master of the Zhou family. The county lady had made a fuss about the incident with the third young master of the Zhou family. Although she wasn't seeking justice for the Zhou family, the Ye family was still the county lady's enemy. Whether it was revenge on the Ye family or provoking a conflict between the Ye and Zhou families, the county lady must have wanted to do it, to make the young master die in the same way as the third young master of the Zhou family. The second master believed that the county lady was provoking the Ye family..."
"Your Second Master is truly intelligent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to plan so many things back then. Now I can't wait to fight him... No, we've already started fighting. I've eaten his pawn, and I'm wondering if I can incite him to revolt..."
Zhang Jian had a look of horror on his face. He didn't even dare to think about this matter.
The lives of the entire family are still in Ye Chi's hands.
"What? Have you started to fantasize about what I will ask you to do?" Gu Ruanci asked.
Zhang Jian quickly begged for mercy: "County Lady, please have mercy on me. I've already told you everything I know. Please don't let me go back and be an insider. I have family and children..."
Nong Chun taunted: "In such a short while, the little one has become me..."
Zhang Jian understood and quickly raised his hand to slap himself, but he really didn't have enough strength.
"It's okay. I don't intend to ask you to volunteer. I have poison here. If you don't take the antidote one day, you will itch all over and die like you did just now."
This way of dying made Zhang Jian despair.
"If your family hasn't bullied others in the mansion, when the Ye family is gone in the future, perhaps I can find a way to help you settle down, or you can find a way to move on your own during this period. After all, I don't intend to take action against the Ye family right away. I heard that the Ye family is discussing a marriage with the Zhou family?"
There was no time to conceal the shock in Zhang Jian's eyes.
The rank of the Chaoyang County Lady in front of him was already higher than that of their second master. He thought that his master had designed a plan that was so tortuous that it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false, which was a genius. He did not expect that he could not hide it at all in front of this person.
Moreover, the affairs between the Ye and Zhou families were only discussed in private, and there was no open communication. Even the servants in the mansion knew very little about it. How did she know all about it?
"County Master, this..."
Gu Ruanci said directly, "Who do you think spread the news of Ye Lingyue's disfigurement? And why was she bitten by a dog that day... Isn't it because of this that Lord Ye agreed to his brother's suggestion?"
Zhang Jian's eyes widened. He had actually forgotten about this matter.
At this moment, he thought about it again and felt that from the very beginning, Gu Ruanci had been forcing the Ye family and the Zhou family to take this step.
First, he helped Gu Yutang marry Wu Yixuan, whom Zhou Yuxiu had been dreaming of, and then he made Ye Lingyue, who wanted to marry into the royal family, lose her chance. These two people who were determined not to marry down and marry down naturally became the most suitable couple, and this was with the Zhou and Ye families separated by human lives...
This young girl is so surprising. Is she a devil?
He didn't dare to ask, as all the doubts in his heart were torturing his resolve.
"I was planning to let you go, but you must be well aware of your Second Master's character. If you fail, you and your family will die... If I delay a little longer, and let him become suspicious of you, you know the outcome."
When Zhang Jian heard this, his face was filled with despair.
He knew that what Gu Ruanci said was absolutely true.
"If you listen to me, I will deal with your crimes impartially when I learn of them. Give me an answer immediately."
Gu Ruanci didn't want to waste time. If some things were arranged earlier, she would have less worries.
Zhang Jian gritted his teeth again: "I'll listen to the county lady..."
"If you agree now and then regret it later and tell your Second Master, I'm not afraid. After all, I've never concealed my hatred for the Ye family from the very beginning. You little brats shouldn't have committed any serious crimes, but you all just wanted to take credit for it. You used the master's simple instructions to satisfy your twisted self-esteem. Seeing people of lower status than you, but also servants, groveling and even having their lives in your hands, you feel a sense of accomplishment, right? Do you think being the master's confidant is a matter of honor?"
Zhang Jian didn't dare to respond to Gu Ruanci's words.
Originally, Gu Ruanci didn't expect him to give her any feedback on this topic, so she directly signaled Zang Xia to feed him another pill.
Then, another one was placed in his hand.
"This is the antidote. When you feel the poison taking effect, take it and you'll know if what I said is true. As for how you're going to explain to the Ye family why you didn't see Yunxiang today, that's not my responsibility. If you've made up your mind, think about it carefully when you get back. My people will be waiting for you here tomorrow. Whether you want to take the antidote or bring others here to die, it's up to you. I still say the same thing. If you don't help me, the most I'll have to do is worry a little more, but the result won't change. The Ye family will be destroyed."
