Chapter 321 Betrayal
At this time, even Jiang Herong felt that Zhang Yao was hiding something.
Thinking about what happened today, all because of Zhang Yao's advice to him, Jiang Herong felt a ball of anger in his heart.
"Zhang Yao, stop beating around the bush! Tell me the truth about what you're hiding!"
Zhang Yao gritted his teeth and denied, "I'm not hiding anything."
Jiang Nansheng looked at him quietly. "Zhang Yao, you've been by my side since you were little, you grew up with me, and you even blocked a knife for me. I've always trusted you. Even if you did something wrong, I'll spare your life for the sake of our past friendship, as long as you confess."
Zhang Yao was silent for a moment, still not changing his words.
"I am loyal to you, young lady, and have never done anything to offend you."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Nansheng's eyes.
She sighed softly, "I heard everything that day. Those who attacked me were arranged by you."
Zhang Yao's eyes flashed with panic. He refused to admit it. "Miss, how could I do such a thing? You misunderstood me!"
Jiang Nansheng recounted the incident calmly, "When we were attacked, you protected me and tried to escape, but were stopped by two masked men. You engaged in a fight with them. They were merciless and you were quickly injured. Furiously, you accused them of breaking their promise and actually attacking you. They laughed and revealed the truth: they were out to kill me, and you tipped them off, making it easier for them."
The other party was very proud when he saw that his plan was about to succeed. Jiang Nansheng was right next to him and heard everything.
At that time, she looked at Zhang Yao in disbelief. When Zhang Yao met her gaze, his eyes were full of panic and guilt.
At that moment, Jiang Nansheng knew that Zhang Yao had really betrayed him.
At that time, Zhang Yao pulled her and wanted to take her away.
"I will escort you away first, and I will explain the rest later."
But he didn't have a chance to explain. He was stabbed in the abdomen and was unable to take care of himself. Then he didn't know what happened.
After he was injured, he kept hiding from place to place. He finally managed to survive, but then he heard that the Jiang family had committed a crime and was exiled to Xiping.
He was afraid of being implicated, so he kept hiding and did not show up.
Later, Jiang Nansheng appeared as a female doctor. Zhang Yao didn't recognize her, but he recognized Lin Zheng.
He had been observing secretly and trying to find out their identities, and finally had to confirm one thing: the doctor Ah Heng was Jiang Nansheng, and the young master he had served for so long was actually a young lady.
Zhang Yao felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't understand why she was willing to reveal her identity in front of Lin Zheng when she had always concealed her daughter from him?
It was not until later, when he learned that Jiang Nansheng had lost his memory, that he finally understood the reason.
This finally made him dare to show up.
The young lady lost her memory and forgot about what happened before, so what he did before could naturally be forgotten.
Zhang Yao thought that one day, she would recover her memory.
But he expected that it would be a long time later, when he would have regained the lady's trust and he would be able to explain the matter clearly.
Before that, he had to get rid of Lin Zheng first.
Only after getting rid of Lin Zheng did he have no worries.
He successfully instigated Jiang Herong and planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at the very beginning.
Jiang Nansheng was hit on the head again and somehow his memory was restored.
She remembered everything.
Jiang Nansheng recounted what happened that day in a calm tone, while Zhang Yao's eyes were filled with panic.
He still refused to admit it. "Miss, the situation was chaotic at the time. You must have misheard. I have been by your side since I was a child and have always been loyal to you. How could I possibly betray you? I swear to heaven that if I ever betray you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
His face was full of anxiety and he swore in a very serious tone, as if he wanted to cut open his abdomen to prove his innocence.
His attitude made Jiang Herong feel shaken.
Zhang Yao is a illegitimate son of the Jiang family and Nan Sheng's confidant. He has no reason to betray Nan Sheng.
What's more, he made such a cruel oath. If he lied, he would be punished by God.
"Nan Sheng, did you hear wrong?"
Jiang Nansheng's heart was not shaken, and her tone was firm.
"I definitely didn't hear it wrong."
It would have been fine if the other party had just said this, but at that time, Zhang Yao also responded to the other party. Their conversation and the look on Zhang Yao's face when he looked at her at that time clearly explained everything.
Moreover, Jiang Nansheng also remembered that Zhang Yao's whereabouts had been somewhat unusual in the days before the incident.
These many doubts made Jiang Nansheng doubt him.
Zhang Yao's face was a little stiff, and he felt a little disappointed.
"Miss, when you were traveling and encountered danger, I blocked the knife for you. For you, I would even risk my life. How could you doubt me like this?"
Jiang Nansheng looked at him and said, "I don't want to doubt you, but I believe what I saw and heard."
After experiencing a life-and-death experience, Jiang Nansheng became calmer than before, and his view of people became more clear-headed and rational.
Zhang Yao hurriedly defended himself, "But why would I harm you?"
Jiang Nansheng didn't know.
She couldn't figure it out either.
I have never treated Zhang Yao unfairly, why would he want to harm me?
At this moment, Lin Zheng beside him suddenly spoke up, "You want to get rid of me, right?"
As soon as these words came out, a strange look flashed across Zhang Yao's eyes.
Even though he restrained himself quickly, he was still caught by someone with ulterior motives.
Lin Zheng's lips curled up in a cold smile, "As expected, my existence actually makes you so afraid that you are willing to gamble your young lady's life?"
Zhang Yao's secret thoughts were exposed, and he felt angry.
But he quickly suppressed this inappropriate emotion.
He said in a harsh tone, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Lin Zheng had already seen through his thoughts, so he deliberately picked on his weak spot and stabbed him.
"You're jealous, aren't you? Ever since I arrived, Ah Heng... Nan Sheng has been taking good care of me, asking about my well-being. You saw it all, and it burned with jealousy. Your possessiveness drove you to dislike me in every way, and you even threatened to kick me out. But I didn't do what you wanted and didn't leave on my own initiative, so you became anxious, panicked, and resorted to unscrupulous means. Am I right?"
Jiang Nansheng looked at Zhang Yao in surprise.
Could it be that he has other thoughts about me?
Did he discover before that he was a girl?
Or...
Jiang Nansheng didn't think about it any further. She didn't want to make this master-servant relationship even worse.
Lu Zhiran thought of things in her previous life.
In his previous life, Zhang Yao also betrayed Jiang Nansheng and helped Zhao Shuning steal Jiang Nansheng's credit.
Afterwards, the way Jiang Nansheng's daughter's identity was revealed was not very glorious.
She had no choice but to marry Zhang Yao, and was trapped in the backyard, her dream of becoming a doctor was shattered.
Lu Zhiran could conclude that Zhang Yao must have developed a crush on Jiang Nansheng.
But she didn't know whether Zhang Yao loved the Sixth Young Master or the Sixth Young Miss.
