Chapter 71: Confrontation
Xu's heart chuckled, she secretly gritted her teeth, and she had to swallow it because she was resentful.
These days, she didn't sleep a day peacefully, and she didn't think about 50,000 taels of silver for a day.
She originally wanted to wait for the mountain bandits to return from the robbery, donate silver taels, and then buy some medicinal materials and send them to Qinghe Town to do good deeds, etc., but the mountain bandits couldn't do this little thing.
Not only that, but half of the gold and silver in her private collection in the courtyard was taken away, and Xu was so angry that he instantly lost his mind to do good, and only thought about how to make money quickly and how to solve Jiang Juan.
Now, Jiang Juan is back, and Xu Shi has only then awakened the important things she has overlooked.
She stared at Jiang Wan with her eyebrows, and asked sharply: "Aunt Jiang is going to be angry with the old lady just after she comes back, what is her intention?" β
Jiang Juan smiled faintly, "Big lady, I just said that I came back to give the old lady a follow-up, where can I have other thoughts?" β
"I don't think so." Xu Shi said coldly.
Jiang Juan took a step forward and asked, "I want to ask, what is the intention of the eldest lady to frequently prevent me from returning to the clinic and stop me from talking to the old lady?" β
Xu's face turned paler instantly, "I ......"
"Shut up! Ahemβ"
The old lady stopped her again and again, and coughed violently twice.
Seeing this, Jiang Juan hurriedly stepped forward to prick the old lady, and soon, the old lady got a lot better.
Afterwards, Jiang Juan instructed again: "Although the old lady's body is fine, she still has to be raised for a period of time, and she must not be tired during this time." β
After she finished speaking, she kneaded it for the old lady again, and the old lady felt a lot smoother.
The old lady glanced at Jiang Wan and said coldly: "It seems that what they said is right, you really understand medicine." β
"But I don't believe you're coming back for me, say, what the hell are you going to do?"
Jiang Juan glanced at Xu with a smile and continued, "I don't know if the old lady has seen Mama Jiang recently?" β
The old lady was stunned, she really hadn't seen this person for a long time, but she didn't think much about it when she thought that this person was just a subordinate, and it had nothing to do with her whether this person left or stayed.
"What's wrong with her?"
Jiang Juan replied: "On the day of the birthday banquet, she poisoned my food, causing me to break into the courtyard of the prince of the world, which became the biggest joke at the birthday banquet. β
"Before that, she stole the Xizhou medicinal materials rewarded by the Holy Lord, sold them, and then used the silver taels in exchange to conspire with the traitors to buy bizarre poisons, and she was in danger of a catastrophe."
When the words fell, Jiang Juan slowly knelt in front of the old lady, with a weak and sad expression.
"Old lady, I am really wronged about the birthday banquet, if you insist on asking me why I am pestering the Hou Mansion, this is the reason."
She raised her eyes to look at the old lady, her eyes full of sincerity, "Old lady, I don't want to be wronged, and I don't want to be laughed at, I want you to get justice for me." β
Hearing this, the old lady's face was particularly complicated, she glanced at Xu, then looked at Xiao Yicheng, and asked sharply: "Is this really the case?" β
Xiao Yicheng nodded, and told Jiang Wan to save her, the red boat was destroyed, and he told her everything about taking her into the house.
In the end, he responded in a deep voice, "Mama Jiang has personally admitted this matter and handed it over to the government to deal with it impartially." β
Xu Shi took a sharp breath, knelt down before the old lady spoke, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, Mama Jiang has a deep relationship with me, and she is doing this behind my back because of me, although her move is indeed inappropriate, but she is my person after all!" β
"She was disposed of, I felt uncomfortable, although I was ashamed of Aunt Jiang, but I didn't want you to be angry because of Aunt Jiang, so I wanted to drive her away."
"Mother, Mama Jiang watched me grow up, and now that she is gone, I am really uncomfortable......"
Xu's voice trembled slightly, and the old lady's mind softened when she heard it.
"It's not your fault, how can I blame you? Get up! β
The old lady pulled Xu Shi to get up, and turned to look at Jiang Juan with a cold face.
"I already know about this matter, and Mama Jiang has been dealt with, this matter can be regarded as a turning page, what justice do you want?"
The old lady paused and said sharply: "Do you want me to deal with the mother of the Hou Mansion?" β
"Don't dare."
Jiang Juan was gloomy, she knew that the old lady liked Xu's family, so she would naturally say a few words for her daughter-in-law, but Jiang Juan was no longer as forbearant and retreating as before.
She shook her head with a smile, "The birthday banquet has indeed turned the page, but the grievances I am talking about are more than these." β
Although the old lady was particularly shocked by the truth, she still wanted to protect the Xu family, so she asked Jiang Wan coldly, "What else do you have to do?" β
Jiang Juan turned around and sat on the ground, exposing his ankles, and said, "That's what I said." β
"The eldest lady did give me a consultation fee so that I would never come back, but afterwards she arranged for people to block the road and rob my money more than once, causing me to be in danger several times and almost dying."
"Nonsense!"
Xu suddenly became anxious, "Aunt Jiang has to have evidence when she speaks, don't spray people with blood!" β
Jiang Juan chuckled, "How does the eldest lady know that I have no evidence?" β
Xu Shi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly his heart was empty.
She remembered that no one knew about the matter, so how could she leave evidence?
Xu Shi glanced at Jiang Xuan, and saw that she didn't have any clues, so he calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "If you really have evidence, why don't you show it to the old lady?" β
Jiang Juan replied: "I was robbed by the robbers of Baishan during the treatment of fever in Qinghe Town, and if the old lady wants evidence, she will know by ordering someone to go to Baishan." β
Xiao Yicheng then added: "Don't worry, I have ordered someone to go to Baishan to suppress the bandits." β
What!
Jiang Xuan's eyes froze, and he was very stunned.
He actually went to suppress the bandits!
Xu Shi chuckled when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Yicheng in a daze.
Xiao Yicheng used to be on her side, but today, Xiao Yicheng not only brought Jiang Juan back, but also kept falling into the well, not giving her a chance to prove herself at all.
"Who knows, will it be Aunt Jiang's collusion in the middle?"
Xu Shi shook his head for a moment, felt deeply wronged, and couldn't help choking: "Chen'er, although I am not your biological mother and have never raised you, but I am the same to you and the son, why did you help her?" β
"Can't you see? She hates the birthday banquet, and she hates Mama Jiang as my person, she wants to take revenge on me! β
Xiao Yicheng's expression was indifferent, so that people couldn't see any thoughts.
"My stepmother misunderstood, I didn't go to suppress the bandits because of the two of you, but they occupied the mountain and did a lot of evil, and they should have been eliminated a long time ago."
He turned his head to look at Xu Shi and said meaningfully: "I only said that I had ordered someone to suppress the bandits, and I didn't say anything else. β
"I ......"
Xu frowned, "How do I know what you think in your heart?" How do you know, will this be Aunt Jiang's calculation? β
She found that she couldn't see through Xiao Yicheng more and more, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
The old lady also noticed that Xiao Yi's scene was different from the past, and her face couldn't help but be slightly gloomy, "Chen'er, come here!" β
