Chapter 48: On Your Own
Since you have become helpless, you can only rely on yourself.
Jiang Sheng remembers very well that it was after this incident in the original book that she was sentenced to "death", and then there was a series of tragic things that followed.
Jiang Sheng calmed herself down quickly, whether she was crying or flustered at this time, it would only make her die faster.
This happened suddenly, Jiang Sheng took a closer look and found that he was completely unfamiliar with the servant.
"After talking for a long time, I still don't know who you are, get to know me."
Jiang Sheng suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and his relaxed and ordinary voice seemed to be unaffected in the slightest.
"Why do you need to ask the young grandmother again, it's just a cover-up."
The servant replied.
"Answer my question."
The smile on Jiang Sheng's face was still there, but his tone was a little colder.
"My surname is Chen, my name is Sister-in-law Chen, everyone calls me that, and so does my young grandmother."
The servant replied, but lowered his head and did not look at Jiang Sheng or others.
The rest of the people didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Sheng quietly and said, this matter is not trivial, if it is true, then Jiang Sheng's scheming is absolutely unavoidable, but it is precisely because of this that it is more necessary to be cautious.
"Then I, Sister-in-law Chen, let me ask you, how long have you been at Leng's house."
Jiang Sheng continued to ask, but the questions asked had little to do with the real content.
The servant also felt strange, but he couldn't figure out Jiang Sheng's routine, so he had to answer cautiously, "It's been four years." After a pause, she looked at Leng Yi again, "Master, I have been serving faithfully all these years, and the only thing I have done is that I agreed to the young grandmother at that time." ”
As if she was a little scared, Sister-in-law Chen explained, but the purpose of this explanation was already obvious, she thought that Jiang Sheng was changing the topic, so of course she had to pull the topic back as soon as possible.
Jiang Sheng looked at this clumsy performance expressionlessly, and continued to ask, "You said that I arranged for you to let your grandfather have a heart attack, and then save him and take the opportunity to marry into the Leng family, right?" ”
"Yes."
Sister-in-law Chen answered almost as soon as she wanted to or not.
"Okay, when did I find you, and what day to be specific, morning, noon, or night?"
Jiang Sheng's question seemed to be painless, but after gradually getting to the point, he quietly guided Sister-in-law Chen and walked at her own pace.
"It's been so long, I can't remember it anymore, but I can only remember that it was one night."
Sister-in-law Chen replied.
Jiang Sheng didn't seem surprised, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said, "Think about it again, which day?" ”
Sister-in-law Chen was silent for a while, and then replied, "It's the old man's birthday, and there were many people in the family that day, and the young grandmother found me at that time." ”
"Okay, since you said that I bought you, then how did I buy you, what promises did I give you, and how much money did I give you?"
"The young grandmother promised to give 300,000 yuan, first gave me 100,000 yuan, and said that she would give me another 200,000 yuan after the matter was completed."
Sister-in-law Chen replied, and the answer was very smooth without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Sheng was silent for about half a minute, pacing slowly until he got closer to Sister-in-law Chen, and Sister-in-law Chen was panicked because of the rhythm of Jiang Sheng's question, and subconsciously clenched her hands.
"Not to mention that I, Jiang Sheng, am not inferior to you, 300,000 yuan, if you really want to buy people, you will definitely not show your feet because you don't want to spend money, even if it is, it's not the first time that I married into the Leng family and came back for so long, why did you never have a seizure before, but this time you stood up?"
Jiang Sheng's tone became more and more calm and indifferent, she looked at Sister-in-law Chen condescendingly, and the monstrous anger in her eyes was suppressed, leaving only the solid ice that seemed to be able to freeze thousands of miles.
Sister-in-law Chen's body shook and she didn't dare to raise her head, but she still defended today, "How can I know this, maybe the young grandmother is ninety and has decided this, and thinks I am a bully, so she is unwilling to give the money behind." ”
After Sister-in-law Chen finished speaking, Jiang Sheng suddenly laughed mockingly, this laughter was indifferent and a little flamboyant, it seemed that he was deliberately laughing at everyone present, and he did not explain his "intentionality" at all.
Leng Siye frowned slightly, he looked at Jiang Sheng, hearing this, in fact, his heart already had the tilt of the scale, and he was even comfortable because of it, but looking at Leng Yi, Leng Siye decided to let Jiang Sheng solve this matter by himself.
"What you just said is not half logical at all! First of all, I came on Grandpa's birthday, but I was so funny that I only showed up and sneaked out, and where did I have time to say this! ”
Sister-in-law Chen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then maybe the young grandmother is just to hide people's eyes, even if it just appears, it still appears, doesn't it?" ”
After speaking, Sister-in-law Chen lowered her head again, and even secretly felt comfortable that she had found the flaw in Jiang Sheng's words.
"Where did I find you? How did you give you that 100,000 yuan? ”
Jiang Sheng asked.
"It was in a corner of the banquet, and there were many people and no one paid attention, and the young grandmother gave me a card, at that time."
"Where's the card?"
Almost as soon as the words fell, Jiang Sheng continued to ask.
"The card is still there."
"I'll see."
As he spoke, Jiang Sheng stretched out his hand and asked for the card that Sister-in-law Chen said.
Sister-in-law Chen fumbled. Soon a card was taken out of the pocket of his clothes.
Without any hesitation, the kung fu card had already arrived in Jiang Sheng's hand in a blink of an eye.
Looking around and hesitating, she put the card in Leng Siye's hand.
"When did the card make the money, which account did it play, how much money. I don't think I need to teach you how to check, Mr. Leng. ”
Jiang Sheng deliberately said yin and yang, and he was a little angry in his heart, he didn't believe her.
Leng Siye naturally saw it, he knew that Jiang Sheng was unkind, but he didn't want to speak so politely in front of so many people, and his face was a little unbearable for a while, but he inexplicably felt that Jiang Sheng looked very cute, so he didn't say anything and took the card.
Sister-in-law Chen suddenly panicked when she saw the resignation, and looked up at the card in Leng Siye's hand, but quickly withdrew her gaze, as if she was afraid of being discovered, but what she didn't know was that in fact, everything had already been taken into everyone's eyes.
Back and forth, Jiang Sheng's calmness and sister-in-law Chen's panic formed a stark contrast, the old man actually almost had an answer in his heart, but he was still silent and let Jiang Sheng continue to play, and couldn't help but cast a little appreciative glance at this woman.
"Oh, yes." As if remembering something, Jiang Sheng suddenly looked at Sister-in-law Chen with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that I was always there on Grandpa's birthday and never left." I think it's also a person who wants to work together to conspire for great things, why can you even remember this wrong, Sister-in-law Chen? ”
Jiang Sheng's tone is leisurely, and he seems to be quite calm when he speaks, but it is behind this calmness that makes people feel frightened.
Sister-in-law Chen knelt on the ground a little weakly, she had always only known that her young grandmother was a brainless vase who only chased Leng Si at night, but she didn't know that it was like a sudden change of person, so difficult to deal with.
