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

Jiang Yaonian said nonchalantly, "I know."

Madam Jiang scolded in dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you tell me if you knew? And you wanted me to hear it from someone else!"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "Who told you? Was it Jingying?"

Madam Jiang sneered, "Who else but her! In front of everyone, she said that Qinghe was caught having a tryst with someone in the middle of the night. Fortunately, they didn't know that she was your future daughter-in-law! What are you going to do now?"

Jiang Yaonian took a sip of tea, then said slowly: "Jingying lied to you, it's not Qinghe who had a secret meeting with someone, it's her widowed mother who wanted to embezzle the betrothal gift, so she colluded with someone to smuggle jewelry in the middle of the night, and after being caught by Qinghe, she turned the tables and lied that the man was Qinghe's adulterer.

Also, when we had a blind date before, she brought another daughter to meet me, pretending to be Qinghe. She only behaved herself after I saw through her. This time, in order to teach her a lesson, I asked He Sidao to send someone to lock her up and scare her.

Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Madam Jiang remained silent after listening to this. After a while, she looked at Jiang Yaonian in confusion and asked, "Nian'er, do you think this Li is really Qinghe's biological mother? Why does she not look like her?

I was too impatient before. Seeing that you are getting older, I became anxious. Although this child is a good wife and mother, her identity is a bit vague!

Pei Ruoyuan told me at the time that her family had fled here from somewhere else, so I didn't investigate further.

I didn't expect there would be so many questions!

Now it seems that I was careless! If it doesn't work, do you want to..."

Jiang Yaonian refused very straightforwardly: "No need!"

Madam Jiang hesitated and said, “I’m worried that things are not that simple.

From what you said, it seems that the widow has a big problem!

Marrying someone like this would be very risky. Do you think you should put the marriage off for a while?"

Jiang Yaonian stood up and said, "No, the eighth day of this month will be fine."

Madam Jiang sighed, "Alas, if something really happens, I'm afraid I'll miss you..."

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

After saying that, he stood up and left the upper room.

As soon as he walked out of the Moon Cave Gate, he turned around and whispered to Li Zhi who was following him: "Tell He Sidao to think of a solution! I want to know who bribed that widow to hide the person in that night!"

"Yes!"

……

As the wedding drew closer, Qinghe became busier.

But what surprised her was that even though Jiang Yaonian promised to release her mother that day, as the days passed, there was no movement from Yingtian Prefecture.

Yao Bilian was also extremely anxious. She went to visit the prison several times, but was sent back every time by the new jailer who said that according to a new order from above, no visits were allowed without the permission of the prefect.

Anxious and angry, Yao Bilian had no choice but to try her luck at the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion again, hoping to see Princess Jingying and ask her something. But just like last time, the soldiers guarding the gate still refused to let her in, and when she asked, the princess was not there.

Not only did he not get to see Princess Jingying, he never even got to see Li Jian once.

This made Yao Bilian panic, worried that something big had happened. She had no choice but to go to Qinghe's room again.

This time, she changed her usual contemptuous attitude and begged Qinghe to go to Jiang's house to ask what was going on. "Even if you don't do it for my sake, you should do it for your mother's sake. You are about to get married. Without your mother, who will take care of your marriage?"

Yao Bilian tilted her neck and spoke eloquently about the truth. As she spoke, she winked at Yao Furong opposite her, indicating that she should also help say something.

Yao Furong hesitated for a moment, and finally stammered, "Second sister is right... Why hasn't there been any movement for several days? Logically, he should be released... Eldest sister, do you want to go to the Jiang residence and ask if something has happened?"

Yao Bilian nodded desperately and said in a hoarse voice: "What Furong said makes sense! Why don't we go and ask?"

Ever since she found out that Princess Jingying could not be relied upon, Yao Bilian's attitude was not as arrogant as before, because she had vaguely felt that something was not right, as if there was an invisible huge trouble right in front of her!

Qing He also felt strange. It had been several days, why hadn't they released him yet? Even if it wasn't possible, they should have replied...

It seems that I have to go to Jiang’s house. Even if I can’t release the person, at least I should have some idea in my mind.

She said to the two of them, "Then I'll go ask again."

Yao Bilian's eyes were immediately filled with eager anticipation, and Yao Furong also nodded slightly.

……

In the study room of Jiang Mansion.

Guard Li Zhi reported to Jiang Yaonian, "Sir, that Li has confessed! She admitted that she hid the villain in the yard in advance that night, and then quietly entered the backyard after midnight with ill intentions!

The maids and old women serving in Miss Yao's room were also given leave in advance by Li, so the backyard was empty at that time. If Miss Yao's brother had not discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

As for who sent her to do this, Li said that she originally wanted to move the jewels in the middle of the night, but was afraid of being discovered by Miss Yao, so she ambushed the pick-up people in advance. The bad guy was originally a young man who came with Wang Fugui. He heard that there was no one in the backyard, so he suddenly had evil intentions.

After Li found out, she was afraid of being implicated, so she simply turned the tables and put the entire blame on Miss Yao! "

Jiang Yaonian listened quietly and asked expressionlessly, "Where is that guy?"

Li Zhi said: "Because he was in a panic and didn't know where to go, he fell into a dry well while escaping. When he was fished out, he was already dead.

In addition, Li is now dying in prison due to the torture. Lord He sent someone to ask if we should continue the trial.

Jiang Yaonian said coldly: "Tell someone to change her to a better cell, and find someone to treat her injuries, and then release her in a month."

The person outside replied, "Sir, Miss Yao is here."

Jiang Yaonian stood up and said, "Just say I'm not here," and then left the study.

The guard went to pass on the message as instructed.

Qinghe, who was waiting outside the mansion, was stunned for a moment after hearing the news, then got on the carriage and went back in silence.

……

In the morning, the maid Xue Hui hurried to Ningzhu Garden. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to say, "Princess, Li didn't dare to say anything to expose you!"

Princess Jingying, who was dressing herself, smiled slightly after hearing this and picked up a hairpin inlaid with jadeite from the dressing table and handed it to Xuehui.

Xuehui took the hairpin and carefully helped her put it into her bun. Then she looked at Jingying in the mirror and praised her with a smile, "So beautiful! At today's banquet, the princess will definitely be the most beautiful among all the beauties!"

Jingying looked at her pretty face in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. Then she said softly, "She's smart. If she dared to say anything, she probably wouldn't be able to come out alive. There's no witness, and no physical evidence. Even if she said it, no one would believe it."

Xue Hui nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "But why haven't we heard the news of canceling the engagement yet?"

Jingying frowned and said softly, "Send someone to find Yao Bilian today."

Before he finished speaking, the maid said, "Princess Yuying is here!"

Jingying was shocked, and a cold and disgusted look flashed in her eyes!
