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

Jiang Yaonian couldn't help but frown after hearing this. It seemed that the person who stole the body and offered sacrifice to Concubine Jia didn't want people to know about this, so he pretended to be a ghost to scare people away from here, and then secretly took the body away in the middle of the night and placed tributes and chrysanthemums...

So who could this person be?

Just when Jiang Yaonian was thinking hard, he suddenly heard two palace maids in front of him whispering as they walked, "I heard that since Concubine Jia died, the Third Prince has fallen ill and contracted an inexplicable strange disease... Even the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless, but in the end he was cured by an old maid in the Chuyun Palace with a folk remedy! When the emperor asked her what reward she wanted, she said that as long as the Third Prince was safe and sound, she didn't want anything! Then the emperor sent her to take care of the Third Prince's food and daily life, and she no longer had to look after the side hall in the Chuyun Palace. Don't you think this is a meteoric rise?"

Another maidservant answered, "Yes! Who says it's not true? I heard that the old nanny seems to have some feelings for the Third Prince and Concubine Jia. Just now when we passed Yonghui Garden, I saw her wiping her tears and carrying a bag towards the Imperial Garden..."

The two walked away while talking...

Jiang Yaonian turned around and walked towards Yonghui Garden.

Yonghui Garden is next to the Imperial Garden. Usually, few people come here. It is covered with lush grass and very quiet.

Jiang Yaonian had someone guard the garden gate, and he led two guards along the stone path inside...

When he turned around a rockery, he suddenly saw someone burning paper under a tree not far away, mumbling something...

Jiang Yaonian immediately understood that the person in front of him was the Nanny Yue that the two palace maids had just mentioned!

He gestured to the two guards, who nodded, separated and went around from both sides, then hid behind a bunch of golden and silver holly, ready to attack!

Jiang Yaonian walked towards the old nanny and heard her crying in sorrow, "Miss, I am sorry for you! If I hadn't forced you to avenge your family, you wouldn't have given up on Master Jiang and chosen to enter the palace! You have suffered so much over the years! But in the end, you ended up like this... If I had known this would happen, I would have let you stay in the Jiang family! At least you could have been a noble young lady and lived a peaceful and happy life with Master Jiang...

Master, Madam, I have failed to live up to your expectations! Not only did I fail to revive the Zhou family, but I also caused the young lady to die tragically! If I hadn't had to take care of the Third Prince, I would have followed you to the underworld now!"

As he said this, he burst into tears again.

When Jiang Yaonian heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Concubine Jia entered the palace. He just felt that it was fate playing tricks on him...

Who would have thought that what Aunt Yue said next would make him feel horrified and shocked...

I only heard Nanny Yue say with some regret: "I am not only sorry to the young lady, the master, and the lady, but also to the eldest young lady of the Jiang family... In order to allow the young lady to enter the Jiang family smoothly, I did not hesitate to impersonate and sneak in as a servant, and then found an opportunity to tamper with Miss Jiang's diet. After three months, her health became worse and worse, and no matter what medicine she took, it didn't work...

I felt so sorry for her as she became thinner and thinner, but I had to do it... The young lady had advised me, "Madam, can't we let her live a little longer?"

Alas, actually I never wanted to do this!

But if the eldest daughter of the Jiang family didn't die, my daughter wouldn't be able to enter the Jiang family smoothly! Only if the eldest daughter of the Jiang family died, my daughter could take her place in the selection and enter the palace, thus realizing the dream of revitalizing the family step by step!

Miss Jiang, I will burn some paper money for you too... I hope you won't embarrass our young lady over there. Everyone says that you two look a bit alike, so I even asked our young lady to imitate your manners and dressing style, so as to win the favor of the entire Jiang family!

Young Master Jiang even treated the young lady as a substitute for his own sister and treated her very well... Alas, if it weren't for this incident, they might have become a couple. Our Zhou family is also a prestigious Duke's family, which is a perfect match for the Jiang family..."

Just as Nanny Yue was mumbling, she suddenly noticed a tall figure appear on the ground, covering her own shadow...

She quickly looked back and was shocked!

Because the person in front of her was none other than Jiang Yaonian, whom she had just been talking about!

Nanny Yue glanced at Jiang Yaonian, whose face was ashen, and immediately realized that he had heard everything she had just said. She had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened and continued to lower her head to burn paper...

Jiang Yaonian asked coldly, "Did you kill my sister?"

Nanny Yue picked up the burning ashes, then patted the paper ashes on her clothes, slowly stood up, and said proudly: "That's right!"

Jiang Yaonian stared at her intently and asked, "How did you kill her?"

Nanny Yue smiled faintly and said fearlessly: "There is no point in saying more! Anyway, she is already dead, you can kill her or chop her up as you like, I will repay her with her life!"

Jiang Yaonian snorted coldly and said, "No! There are two!"

Nanny Yue was stunned and looked at him for a while, then she immediately remembered something and knelt on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy: "Sir, please spare my life for the sake of our past friendship! When the Third Prince grows up, I will kill myself, without your help!"

Jiang Yaonian turned and left. Two guards came up, one on each side, lifted her up and followed behind her.

After returning to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yaonian got off the carriage, walked through the garden, and came to the deserted area east of the mansion.

The two guards threw Nanny Yue to the ground and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Nanny Yue, with her hair a little disheveled and her clothes wrinkled, looked up and saw that the tombstone in front of her was engraved with "Tomb of Jiang Yingnian, the eldest daughter of the seventh generation of the Jiang family". Pure camellia flowers were planted around the tombstone.

Jiang Yaonian looked at the tombstone and said in a low voice: "The rule of the Jiang family is that the first child born by the mistress, whether it is a boy or a girl, will inherit the position of the patriarch in the future, but because my sister has been weak since childhood, my parents gave birth to me later!

As far as I can remember, my sister has been recuperating from an illness and seldom goes out to play. My parents are also busy with social events all day and rarely have time to be with us.

I got little rabbits and chickens to cheer her up... and told her that when I grow up, I will find a miracle doctor to cure her illness!

My sister smiled and agreed, saying that she would wait to see me grow up, get married, have children, and inherit my father's position as the head of the clan...

But she died in the spring of the following year, and didn’t get to see the peach blossoms that covered the mountains that year… It was drizzling that day, and I went to the city alone to get a doctor for her… The sky was gloomy and cold, and I was shivering all over, but even so, I still gritted my teeth and got the doctor here…

It was a pity that it was too late, and my sister never woke up again... I cried so hard at the funeral when I was seven years old that I would rather sacrifice my life to bring my sister back..."
