After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang
Chapter 552: Suing Prince Duan
Jiang Wancheng got the news earlier and hid in the secret room under the rockery in the Wen Mansion.
An old servant of the Qi family once hid here for eight years, and no one ever came to find him. This shows that this place is secluded and hard to find.
Therefore, naturally, the people from the Southern Pacification Office could not find any trace of them.
Although there were traces of Jiang Wancheng having lived in the master bedroom of Cangcui Courtyard, the maids such as Fuxue and Yihua were as beautiful as flowers. When the two of them deliberately stood at the door, the people from the Southern Pacification Office would naturally have wild thoughts and would not even guess that it was Jiang Wancheng, the mistress.
Although he stayed in the mansion every day, the Wen mansion was tight outside but loose inside. If an outsider suddenly visited, he would have to wait at the gatehouse for a quarter of an hour before he could see the housekeeper, not to mention other people.
Jiang Wancheng was idle at home every day and began to tidy up the yard thoroughly.
The peppers I planted before, even though it snowed in the winter, I built a thatched shed and lit a bonfire, and the seeds actually sprouted.
Jiang Wancheng planned to wait until spring and then take a few children to plant some vegetables themselves. In summer, they could pick and eat the vegetables they grew themselves.
Therefore, in addition to taking good care of the pepper seedlings every day, Jiang Wancheng also hoed the rest of the land.
After the land was hoed, I replanned the garden inside and out.
He personally worked with the gardeners to redecorate every corner of the house to make it more layered, unique and warm.
Each courtyard has a theme, and each courtyard is different. When spring comes, the scenery will definitely become a unique sight in Beijing.
However, the Wen family will not invite anyone to watch, and it is enough for only the people in the family to watch.
In addition, Jiang Wancheng also sorted out all the account books.
Moreover, when she had nothing to do, she taught Jingniang the special Arabic numeral accounting method.
Because it was convenient, Jingniang, who already had a business mind, quickly got the hang of this method.
With Jingniang's management, Jiang Wancheng's two shops in Shangjing are now doing a booming business. By early February, the embroidery shop can finally open for business.
Li Chunjun had already arrived at the embroidery shop before the New Year and was busy preparing everything personally.
Speaking of Jingniang, it turns out that the matchmaker that Jiang Chengfeng saw in the Wen Mansion was actually the one appointed by Shi Yi, who came to propose marriage to Jingniang.
However, Jingniang rejected him.
It’s not that Jingniang has no interest in him.
It was just that Jingniang had once had an extremely failed and turbulent marriage, so after the divorce, Jingniang had long since given up on getting married in her life.
She didn't want to marry another good man.
I just want to do business all over the world.
Even though she has met a man who is completely different from her ex-husband, she can't help but feel a little tempted, but in the end... she hesitated.
Jingniang said that after the embroidery shop was settled, she would go back to Fujun.
Shi Yi was in a bad mood all day, but the poison had almost been cured.
I also take epilepsy medicine all day long.
Since they met, Jiang Wancheng has been treating him. Although the disease cannot be cured, it has never recurred.
Jiang Wancheng asked him, "She wants to leave, don't you dare to chase her?"
Shi Yi's eyes lit up, and he stared at Jiang Wancheng fiercely: "Sister, I dare!"
Jiang Wancheng chuckled. No matter what, she was only giving them a push. It would depend on their luck from now on.
At least, Shi Yi can definitely protect Jingniang for the rest of her life, and he is definitely not the kind of person who changes his mind every day.
Soon, the first month of the year began.
Although there was a fire in Prince Duan's suburban house and the house was filled with charred corpses, the identity of Prince Duan has not been confirmed, so the Prince Duan's mansion has not yet announced the death to the public.
Jiang Wancheng just waited silently. He was a little anxious when he first came back, but as he became busier every day, his restless heart gradually calmed down.
On the third day of February, a major event took place in Shangjing.
The Marquis of Nanping actually struck the drum himself.
He sued Prince Duan, accusing him of kidnapping a concubine from his mansion during the chaos on New Year's Eve. The concubine was as beautiful as a fairy, and Prince Duan took a fancy to her by accident, so he has been thinking about her ever since.
After Prince Duan captured the man, he went to the farm in person on the third day of the first lunar month.
Because we don't know the details of what happened, but the whole house suddenly caught fire.
Nanping Hou rushed over upon hearing the news, but the fire was already beyond saving, and he could only look at the mansion burning in grief...
As for why he took so long to sue Prince Duan, it was because his wife suddenly died of an acute illness, and he lost two of his bedmates in succession. He could not bear the blow and fell ill.
Having been bedridden for nearly a month, Marquis Nanping became more and more upset. He no longer cared about the shame of having his concubine abducted and being bullied, so he suddenly wanted to stand up and sue Prince Duan.
Naturally, the people in Prince Duan's Mansion denied this matter.
He also pointed at the Marquis of Nanping and scolded him for insulting the prince and damaging the reputation of the royal family!
However, Prince Duan disappeared, and Prince Duan’s Palace was unable to prove its innocence.
Just at this time, Nanping Hou sent out another witness.
There was actually a survivor in Prince Duan's Mansion.
This man was just a servant in the stable. He happened to have asked for leave that day and went home to spend the New Year with his family.
The day he returned home was the first day of the new year.
Therefore, he could prove that Prince Duan's Mansion had indeed abducted a young woman on New Year's Eve.
Moreover, he also heard what Master Heijiu said: "She is just a young lady from an insignificant family. Letting her follow our prince is a blessing for her and her husband's family! Now that they are in the capital, who can support them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Prince of Yan, who was personally trying the case, became extremely angry.
He scolded Zhang Hexuan harshly, saying that he was unworthy of being a role model for princes all over the world and had brought shame to the entire Zhang royal family.
Immediately afterwards, Nanping Hou unexpectedly lost two more witnesses and evidence.
The witness was a maidservant in his own house. She said that they followed their aunt out to watch the fireworks that day, and they were clearly holding on tightly during the riot, but suddenly a few people appeared, stared at their aunt and snatched her away, saying that it was a blessing for their aunt to be favored by the prince!
The physical evidence consisted of several items that Nanping Hou personally salvaged from a well in the ruins in the suburbs.
A hairpin and a deformed gold medal.
This gold medal and hairpin were both his concubines' favorite things.
Therefore, his concubine was indeed abducted by Prince Duan, and the fire that night meant that his concubine must have died in the sea of fire.
As for Prince Duan, he has not shown up until now. Even when dirty water was thrown on him, he did not show up. Everyone was speculating in their hearts that they were afraid that Prince Duan was indeed in great danger that night.
In fact, King Yan no longer cares what the truth is.
He just made some inferences and came to a conclusion.
His lustful brother might have died in the fire.
This time, even if his brother is alive, he can only be "dead"!
