The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Jiang Mansion.

Late at night, Jiang Yaonian sat alone in his study opening a letter.

But as he read, his brows could not help but furrow. He held the letter close to the candle and lit it, then threw it into an empty bottle beside him. Then he picked up his pen and quickly wrote a reply letter, sealed it and put it in an envelope. He called the guard outside and handed the letter to him, "Send it to Dule Town overnight!"

"Yes!"

The guard took the letter and left...

At the same time, Qian Yi, who had been ordered to go to Leping Street to investigate, hurried in from outside.

He knelt on one knee and saluted Jiang Yaonian, then raised his head and reported to Jiang Yaonian: "Sir, during the days when you and the old lady went to Moping Mountain to worship, something did happen on Leping Street!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Yaonian raised his head from his desk and asked with a frown, "What happened?"

The guard stood up, walked to his side, and whispered, "According to Madam Kong who served in Miss Yao's room, one day Madam Yao suddenly gave them all a day off. The next day, when they returned, they heard from other servants that a villain sneaked into Miss Yao's room in the dark the previous night..."

When Qian Yi said this, he couldn't help but pause.

Jiang Yaonian's handsome face revealed a hint of fierceness, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Keep talking!"

"Yes! According to those people, they did not see the villain after they went in. They only saw Miss Yao sitting on the bed trembling with fear. It was obvious that she had been in a fight with someone. Her hair was messy and a button was unbuttoned. But Madam Yao did not even ask any questions. She went up to her and insisted that it was Miss Yao who had colluded with the adulterer and brought disgrace to the family!

No matter how Miss Yao explained, Mrs. Yao insisted that it was Miss Yao's improper behavior and collusion with her lover! She threatened to tell you and the old lady.

It just so happened that you were not at home during those days. Ding Zhong said that Miss Yao had wanted to come to the mansion, but later when she heard that you were not at home, she went to a customer's house in Weiyue Lane instead."

Jiang Yaonian's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he ordered coldly: "Go find Mingtai for me!"

……

The next day, at Yao’s house.

At noon, after lunch was prepared in the kitchen, two maids carried the food boxes and walked to the backyard.

Ever since that incident, Qinghe had never eaten in the living room with Li and Bilian. They always had their meals taken to their rooms and they ate alone. Today was no exception. The two maids went all the way to the back garden.

It was Yao Furong who opened the door. She took the lunch box from them, then took it back into the house and opened the lid. Inside were a plate of Furong chicken slices, a plate of drunken fish with fragrant sauce, a plate of fried crispy dishes, a bowl of crispy goose breast, a bowl of green soup with shrimp balls, a bowl of steamed tofu with ham, and two bowls of white rice.

Yao Furong served the soup, placed the spoons and chopsticks in place, and called Qinghe to come over to eat: "Big sister, stop working later and come over to eat first. The food today is delicious!"

After that, she picked up a piece of crispy goose breast and put it in her mouth, praising it while chewing it: "It's really good, fragrant and crispy!" Then she scooped a mouthful of the shrimp ball soup and drank it, praising it: "It's light and delicious. The chef's skills are really good!"

Then she sighed silently in her heart, remembering that the whole family used to be supported by her eldest sister alone. Mrs. Li held on to the money tightly, and they could only eat a little meat during the New Year and other festivals. Usually they had simple meals without even a piece of meat in the bowl.

If they want to eat meat, they have to rely on Chengzu and his friends to go to the mountains to trap wild rabbits, or go to the river to catch fish and shrimp to improve their lives. The eldest sister can not only embroider and make clothes, but is also very proficient in cooking. She can make all kinds of delicious dishes such as rabbit meatball soup, roasted rabbit, steamed fish fillets with tofu, stewed fish balls, shrimp pot stickers, etc. with the game brought by Chengzu.

If he was lucky, Chengzu would sometimes be able to pick up the pheasants left over by eagles from the mountain ridge, bring them back, pluck the feathers, chop off the parts that the eagles had eaten, and give them to his eldest sister to stew the remaining good meat with dried tofu and vegetables into a pot of delicious soup, which she would mix with rice. Yao Furong could eat two bowls in one go!

If Bilian hadn't rolled her eyes at her, Yao Furong would have been able to eat another bowl!

It can be said that this family cannot survive without the eldest sister. They rely on her embroidery alone to make a living. Even the good life they have now is because the eldest sister is going to marry Mr. Jiang. The whole family can move into this big house and live a life of having everything provided for them.

Yao Furong didn't understand why they wanted to wrongly accuse her elder sister. Would it be good for them to ruin her reputation?

If not, why do they hate the eldest sister so much? Not only do they want to snatch her blind date opportunities, but they also secretly oppose her everywhere. If the eldest sister is rejected by the Jiang family, won’t the whole family have to go back to the old days overnight?

Qinghe came to the table and sat down.

She glanced at Yao Furong who was in a daze, then picked up a piece of drunken fish with her chopsticks and put it on her plate. She tapped the edge of the plate with her chopsticks and said softly, "Rong'er, why aren't you eating? What are you thinking about?"

Yao Furong, who was in a daze, finally woke up from her dream!

She said "Oh" in a panic, picked up the fish fillet, put it in her mouth and chewed it twice, then put down her chopsticks, looked at Qinghe with concern and asked: "Sister, have you negotiated the marriage with Mr. Jiang? What did he say?"

Qing He remained silent, lowered her head and used chopsticks to pick at the rice in the bowl. After a long while, she said softly, "We haven't reached an agreement yet."

Yao Furong was about to speak when she heard a flurry of noise coming from the front yard. It sounded like the police were coming to arrest someone. Her second sister Yao Bilian's hoarse voice was mixed in, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting my mother?"

Then I heard a burst of hurried footsteps running towards Qinghe, and they shouted breathlessly as they ran: "Big sister, something bad happened!"

It was the voice of my younger brother Yao Chengzu.

Qing He was so panicked that she quickly put down her chopsticks and walked to the door in two steps to open it for him. Her younger brother Cheng Zu panted and said, "Sister, it's bad! The police have taken mother away!"

Qinghe was shocked when she heard this!

She quickly grabbed her brother and asked, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Yao Chengzu panted and said, "Just now, a group of officials suddenly came and rushed in without asking any questions after we opened the door! When they came to the living room, they asked who Li Juxian was. My mother said she was, and without saying a word, they chained her up and pushed her out!"

Qing He was shocked and asked, "Ah? How could this happen?"

After saying that, she hurried to the front yard. When she arrived there, she saw that the group of officials had disappeared, and only Yao Bilian was left sitting on the ground crying loudly!

……

In the hall of Yingtian Prefecture, a bright mirror hung high, and the prefect was high above. Several officials pushed and shoved Li, who was chained, into the hall. They pressed hard on her shoulders and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Li immediately knelt on the ground involuntarily. Zheng Zegang, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, slammed the gavel and asked in a long and cold voice, "Who is kneeling down there?"

Li kowtowed and said softly, "I, Li, pay my respects to the great judge! I am originally from Qingtang Town. I have always been law-abiding and have never dared to cause trouble. But just now, a group of officials suddenly broke into my home and brought me here without asking any questions. I don't know what crime I have committed. I hope the great judge will give me justice and clear my name!"

Zheng Zegang sneered, slammed the gavel, and shouted: "You bold and wicked woman! Tell the truth quickly, why did you sneak into someone else's house and steal countless gold, silver and treasures!"
