The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl
Chapter 137 The rat-throwing weapon
Qing He's guess was correct. Behind a screen not far away, a pair of jealous eyes were secretly watching her and Jiang Yaonian's every move...
When he saw Qing He trying to get ashore, the man quickly turned around and left quietly...
Qinghe in the pond was feeling uneasy and had no mood to bother with Jiang Yaonian anymore.
She raised her charming little face and begged Jiang Yaonian, "Why don't we go back today... We can come back another day?"
Jiang Yaonian remained silent.
Qing He said helplessly: "No? Otherwise..."
Jiang Yaonian cleared his throat, stared at her and asked, "What else?"
Qing He blushed and whispered, "Why don't we do what you want to do next time... I'm really not in the mood today..."
Jiang Yaonian immediately asked with great interest: "Are you serious?"
"Ah."
……
After returning to the villa and having lunch, Qinghe continued to sit in front of the window and embroider, while Jiang Yaonian left the villa and went to the second gate to prepare to take a car to the Han Mansion.
Just as he was about to get in the car, he suddenly heard a gentle voice behind him saying, "Mr. Jiang, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Yaonian looked back and saw Jingying coming out from the corner. He couldn't help but frown and said lightly: "Why, the carriage broke down again today, do you want me to give you a ride again?"
Jingying bit her lip lightly and said after a long silence: "Someone is secretly investigating Qinghe, did you know?"
Jiang Yaonian's sharp eyes revealed some doubts and asked: "How did you know?"
Jingying looked around hesitantly and said aggrievedly, "Are you going to let me talk here?"
Jiang Yaonian thought for a moment and said, "Come with me."
The two came to Qingxinzhai.
The servant offered the tea and withdrew.
Jiang Yaonian said expressionlessly: "Who told you this news?"
Jingying picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly and elegantly: "I can tell you, but there are conditions in exchange."
Jiang Yaonian suddenly stood up and walked out without saying a word!
Seeing this, Jingying quickly put down the teacup and said anxiously, "I want to know why Miss Liu came to see you that day!"
Jiang Yaonian turned around slowly after hearing this and said sarcastically, "Why are you asking about something that my wife doesn't even ask about?"
Jingying looked at him with resentment and said, "Mr. Jiang, sometimes I even doubt whether you have ever liked me..."
Jiang Yaonian interrupted her impatiently and said, "I have something else to do. Are you going to tell me or not?"
Jingying's expression froze in embarrassment, and then she said quietly, "The man I told you about last time has been trying to win over a minister in the court, but this minister has been secretly investigating Qinghe's background and origins recently..."
Jiang Yaonian was obviously shocked after hearing this, then he pushed the door and walked out without saying anything.
He arrived at the second gate and got on the carriage, then told the driver, "Go to Fengyang Street!"
……
The carriage stopped in front of a quiet house and the guard went forward and knocked on the door.
A man who looked like a housekeeper came out and said apologetically when he saw the guard: "Guard Zhao, please tell Mr. Jiang that Lord Meng is not at home today. He went to the Huainan Palace."
After thanking him, the guard turned around and walked to the carriage to tell Jiang Yaonian the news.
Jiang Yaonian's face changed immediately after hearing this, and he hurriedly ordered: "Go to Huainan Palace!"
"Yes!"
The driver agreed, whipped the chariot and drove towards the Huainan Palace...
At the same time, Meng Jifei was sitting in the living room of the palace, drinking tea and chatting with the King of Huainan.
Meng Jifei said: "Your Majesty, the matter you asked me to investigate last time..."
The King of Huainan asked with concern: "How is it going? Have you found out anything?"
Meng Jifei said calmly, "There are four people involved in this matter. Two of them are now in the prison of Yingtian Prefecture. No one can visit them without the order of Mr. Jiang. The other two are the younger brother and sister of Madam Jiang. I sent an undercover agent to investigate and only found out that Li almost sold Madam Jiang to someone else as a prostitute..."
Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound in the living room, and it sounded like some porcelain had fallen to the ground.
Meng Jifei was startled and immediately realized that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation, so he stopped talking!
The King of Huainan tried to cover it up by saying, "It must be the cat I raised that got into trouble again. I don't know if it knocked over the vase or broke some ornament."
He raised his voice and said to the outside: "Jingtai, go in and see what's going on!"
"Yes."
A servant agreed and went in to take a look, then immediately came out and reported, "Your Highness, it was Yuxue who fell from the flower table and knocked over a mutton-fat jade vase."
After hearing this, the King of Huainan couldn't help but sighed and said, "Alas... This is the fifth thing it has broken! I must discipline it when I get back! Lord Meng, go on!"
Meng Jifei hesitated for a moment, then continued with a frown, "The family's surname was Yu, and they specifically raised several girls to do business. Li originally wanted to sell the young lady to them, and she also called a few guests over to negotiate the price, but the Yao siblings saw through it and secretly took the young lady out and fled from the Yu family. In order to get away, Li had to sign a document promising to send money to the Yu family every month. So although Madam Jiang made a lot of money from embroidery, almost all of it was used by Li to pay off debts!"
As the King of Huainan listened, his expression gradually became uglier and uglier...
After Meng Jifei finished speaking, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and he asked coldly, "Does Jiang Yaonian know about this?"
"Probably don't know."
"Lord Meng, can you please do me another favor? Can you find a way to find out the origins of the Li family from the couple surnamed Yu?"
Meng Jifei frowned and said, "Your Highness, why don't you send someone to interrogate Li directly? Or hand her over to the Shadow Guards. I guarantee that they will be able to find out the whole story in less than a day."
King Huainan sighed and said, "That will only make things worse! Jiang Yaonian spared that woman's life because of this!"
Meng Jifei nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I'll send someone to check it out!"
"Thank you, Lord Meng."
"Your Majesty, farewell!"
After sending Meng Jifei away, the King of Huainan came to the inner room and said in a deep voice to the person behind the screen: "That woman is even more shady and shameless than I thought! Should we tell Jiang Yaonian about this?"
The woman behind the screen was silent for a moment, then answered softly, "But once the Jiang family knows about this, they can easily find out Qing He's true identity. By then, it will surely cause a big uproar in the city! The Jiang family might even divorce Qing He because of this..."
The King of Huainan could only sigh helplessly and said, "Alas... let's just leave it at that for now!"
The servant hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, Master Jiang is here!"
After hearing this, the King of Huainan was shocked and asked, "How come he is so well-informed?"
