Jiang Wen and Jiang Hu said that they were searching, but in fact, they were looking for suspicious people, Jiang Hu took people in the direction of the plum garden, the young lady had been to the plum garden, and he wanted to go over to have a look.

When I arrived near the plum garden, I saw a maid hiding by the bushes, squatting by the river to wash things.

Jiang Hu motioned for the guards behind him to stop, he walked over gently, and saw that the maid was washing clothes by the river, and the clothes looked quite familiar.

Jiang Hu was silent for a while, silently raised his feet, the maid exclaimed, and the whole person was pushed into the water.

Guard: "......"

Jiang Hu squatted down, scooped up the young lady's coat from the water, and unfolded it to check it, but he didn't see anything, it was estimated that it was washed clean by the maid.

The water in late autumn was already biting cold, and the maid was shivering from the cold, her face was pale and blue, and she was floating in the water and shouted for help intermittently.

Jiang Hu shook off the water in his clothes and motioned to the guards behind him to scoop up the maid.

After the maid was scooped up, she looked like she was frozen and half dead, kneeling on the ground and shivering, her lips were frozen purple, her face was blue, and she looked miserable.

The two guards were a little unbearable.

Jiang Hu didn't have any expression on his face, he looked at the maid condescendingly, and said, "If you tell the commander behind the scenes, I will spare your life, otherwise, I will throw you into the water." ”

The maid's teeth trembled from the cold, and she looked up at Jiang Hu uneasily, but didn't say a word.

Jiang Hu thought about it, and felt that if he froze people to death, wouldn't it be cost-effective, no matter who instructed her, in short, Wang Shangshu couldn't escape.

He then instructed the guards behind him: "Take her to the antechamber." ”

The guards stepped forward to carry the maid one on the left and one on the right, and several people returned to the front hall.

The atmosphere in the front hall was a little stagnant, except for Jiang Beiyu's relaxed demeanor, everyone's expressions were very solemn, and some people even wanted to slip away, but they were afraid of Jiang Beiyu and were afraid that Wang Shangshu would hold a grudge in the future, so they didn't dare to make any moves.

It wasn't until Jiang Hu came in with a half-dead maid who was wet and frozen that everyone exclaimed, their faces full of shock.

The expression on Wang Shangshu's face was even more indescribable, he looked at the maid, then at Jiang Hu, and asked, "This is?" ”

Jiang Hu folded the clothes that sealed Lanyu and put it on the table, and said to Jiang Beiyu: "Lord Shizi, this maid is sneaking around in the plum garden with the young lady's clothes, and her subordinates brought her back. ”

Jiang Beiyu glanced at the clothes and asked, "Did she say who instructed her?" ”

Jiang Beiyu looked at Jiang Hu, Jiang Hu met his own prince's gaze, and followed the gaze of the prince to see Zhao Yuanzheng standing on the other side.

Jiang Hu understood: "Back to the prince, she said that the old lady of the Hou Mansion asked her to do this." ”

Zhao Yuanzheng: "......"

Wang Shangshu: "......"

Everyone had a suddenly realized expression, looking at Wang Shangshu's eyes with sympathy, and Wang Xinyue almost immediately believed it, the old lady would definitely do this, and if there was no maid in time, she would have doubted the old lady.

His grandmother has a close relationship with the old lady and often has dealings, and if he knows that his birthday banquet was destroyed at the hands of the old lady of the Marquis of Jingning, he will definitely be very angry.

How can the relationship between these two families be repaired in the future, Wang Xinyue couldn't help frowning.

If the relationship between the two families is too stiff, she will suffer in the end.

Among them, Zhao Yuanzheng is the most weak-minded, this matter is indeed instructed by the old lady, but the actual arrangement was arranged by him, how could this maid confess to the old lady?

The maid was stunned, kneeling on the ground, holding her arms and trembling, she looked at Jiang Hu in shock, and then shook her head desperately, shivering coldly while saying, "Slave, slave, no, didn't say ......"

Jiang Hu's expression remained unchanged and said to Jiang Beiyu: "She always refused to tell the truth, so her subordinates threw her into the river to sober up." ”

Jiang Beiyu nodded with a little smile in his eyes: "Well done." ”

Wang Shangshu stood up with a dark face, walked up to the maid, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you the maid of the Marquis of Jingning?" ”

The maid was very frightened, and shook her head in fear: "Slave maid, slave maid is the maid of Shangshu Mansion......"

As she spoke, she subconsciously raised her head and went to see Zhao Yuanzheng.

Wang Shangshu also noticed it, and followed her gaze to see Zhao Yuanzheng.

Zhao Yuanzheng: "......"

Zhao Yuanzheng's face was pale, and he said to Wang Shangshu: "Father-in-law, the relationship between the two grandmothers has always been good, our old lady will definitely not do such a thing, it is better to leave this matter to me to deal with, and I will definitely find out and give my father-in-law an explanation." ”

Jiang Beiyu sneered coldly, and also said to Wang Shangshu: "Cousin, no matter who is responsible for this matter, but my wife is frightened here, and this matter must be explained, otherwise it will be spread out and let the world know, and I, Jiang Beiyu, can't even get justice for my wife who was bullied, so wouldn't my Wenchang Marquis Mansion be laughed at?" ”

Wang Shangshu has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and his scheming is naturally not shallow, and this matter is indeed the fault of his Shangshu Mansion, and no matter what the truth is, looking at the performance of this maid and Zhao Yuanzheng, you know that there must be ghosts among them.

But in front of the crowd, he could not admit it.

Otherwise, the one who will be laughed at tomorrow will be his Wang Shangshufu.

His expression softened a little, and said to Jiang Beiyu: "My cousin will naturally give you an explanation, our two families have always had a close relationship, and now that this happened, my cousin never thought of it." ”

When he said this, he was preparing to shake the rhythm of the pot.

Sure enough, he said: "What is the inside story of this matter, it has not been investigated clearly, and this maid said that it was a sign from the Marquis of Jingning, and there is no evidence, it is better to let everyone go back today, and then let people report to you in detail when it is found out tomorrow." ”

When Zhao Yuanzheng heard this, he was anxious: "Father-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with my Hou Mansion......

"Shut up," Wang Shangshu glared at him with a cold face: "It's irrelevant, I'll go to Jingninghou to ask for clarification!" ”

Zhao Yuanzheng: "......"

Just at this moment, Jiang Wen came in with two more men.

Zhao Yuanzheng's eyelids kept jumping, and the bad premonition was very strong.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw the two men, he lowered his head and looked around, trying to find a crack in the ground to get into.

I can't be angry in my heart, those two fools didn't do good things, so if they don't run away when they're done, what are they doing in Shangshu Mansion?

Do you want to keep it for Jiang Beiyu to catch?

These two idiots!

Jiang Wen reported to Jiang Beiyu: "Lord Shizi, I saw in the outer courtyard that these two family members did not look like the subordinates of the Shangshu Mansion, and the subordinates suspected that they took advantage of today's banquet to pretend to be the subordinates of the Shangshu Mansion to sneak in, so they specially helped Wang Shangshu kidnap someone and send them over." ”

Wang Shangshu can't recognize all the people in his house, just that maid just now, what's the matter with these two family members?

Watching the excitement of the crowd at this time is not in a hurry to leave, I feel that today's events are unsettled and wave after wave, just like reading a storybook, a small high tide for a while, it is really exciting.
