All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 188: Jingzhao Prefecture Governor
Jiang Jilian nodded, stood up and said to Lu Yundi, "Yundi, I'm leaving now. You need to take care of the affairs in the mansion."
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian worriedly: "Husband, you must be careful."
Jiang Jilian smiled and patted Lu Yundi on the shoulder, comforting her: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lu Yundi to worry alone in the study.
At the government office, Jiang Jilian explained the incident in detail to the official. After listening, the official said in a serious tone, "Lord Jiang, this matter is of great importance. We will immediately investigate."
Jiang Jilian nodded to express his gratitude, then left the government office and returned to Zhenxinghou Mansion.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard. It was Jiang Jilian. He looked exhausted, but his eyes revealed a firmness.
Lu Yundi hurriedly went to greet him: "Husband, you are back."
Jiang Jilian smiled and patted Lu Yundi on the shoulder: "Yundi, I'm back. Everything has been arranged, and the government will do its best to investigate this case."
Lu Yundi breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of relief in her eyes: "Husband, you have worked hard."
The two smiled at each other, then returned to the study together to continue discussing how to deal with the next storm.
……
"Mother..." Jiang Lili's voice came with a crying tone, and then she was seen running in with a grim face.
Lu Yundi was stunned, and quickly put down the embroidery frame in her hand and stood up nervously.
"Li Li, what's wrong? What happened?" Lu Yundi asked anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
Jiang Lili stood in front of her mother, panting, tears welling up in her eyes. She clenched her fists and bit her lips, as if trying hard to suppress her inner emotions.
"Mother, you know father..." Jiang Lili burst into tears before she could finish her words.
Lu Yundi's heart tightened and her face turned pale instantly. She gently patted Li Li's shoulder and comforted her softly: "Li Li, don't be afraid. Mother is here. Tell her what happened."
Jiang Lili raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Father was taken away by the government, and the charge was treason."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yundi's face suddenly turned livid. She widened her eyes and looked at her daughter in disbelief: "How is this possible? Your father is an important official in the court and has served the country for many years. How could he be a traitor to the country?"
Jiang Lili wiped her tears and said firmly, "Mother, I know this is hard to believe, but it is the truth. I heard what the officials said outside the door. They also said they wanted to confiscate our home."
Lu Yundi suddenly felt dizzy. She held onto the table with her hands and tried to calm herself. She looked at Jiang Lili, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Lili, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to save your father."
Jiang Lili nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I know you will think so. But how can we save father?"
Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then said: "First, we need to find out the truth of the matter. I will send someone to find out the news and see if we can find a glimmer of hope. Then, we need to contact relatives and friends in the court to see if anyone is willing to help."
Jiang Lili looked at her mother worriedly: "Mom, now that Dad has been arrested, who can we trust?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, Li Li, our Jiang family is well-known in the court, but we also have some sincere friends. I will visit them in person to see if anyone is willing to help."
One day, Jiang Lili was sitting in a room in a daze. Suddenly, a servant ran in hurriedly with a letter in his hand.
"Miss, this is the letter that Madam asked you to read." The servant said breathlessly.
Jiang Lili took the letter and opened it quickly. It said: "The matter has been investigated. Someone did frame your father. Now, we are working hard to rescue your father. But this matter should not be made public. You should take good care of your mother at home and don't let her worry."
After seeing the letter, Jiang Lili finally felt relieved.
"Mother, don't worry. As long as we are here, the Jiang family will not collapse." Jiang Lili held her mother's hand tightly and said in a firm tone.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her eyes: "Li Li, mother has you, and this life is without regrets."
……
In the main hall of Jiang's house, Lord Liu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, sat in the main seat, looking seriously at Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin in the hall. The two stood on both sides, Jiang Jilian looked solemn, and Jiang Jixin looked a little uneasy.
Lord Liu asked in a deep voice, "Marquis Zhenxing, do you have any clues about your mother Yu's disappearance?"
Jiang Jilian bowed his head slightly and said calmly, "Your Excellency, since my mother disappeared, I have sent people to search everywhere, but there is still no news. Everyone in the mansion is extremely worried, and I don't know what happened to my mother."
Lord Liu nodded slightly and turned to Jiang Jixin: "Jiang Jixin, tell me, what unusual things happened in the mansion on the day your mother disappeared?"
Jiang Jixin licked his lips nervously and said, "On the day my mother disappeared, I happened to be out on business. When I came back, I found that my mother was no longer in the room. I asked the servants, and they all said that they didn't see my mother go out. Later, I found a pair of my mother's shoes in the back garden, but she was nowhere to be found."
Lord Liu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Marquis Zhenxing, do you have any enemies in your mansion? Or, does your mother have any grudges against anyone?"
Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and shook his head: "My mother has a kind personality and never fights with others. As for her enemies, I really can't think of anyone who would harm her."
Lord Liu hummed and turned to Jiang Jixin: "What about you?"
Jiang Jixin said cautiously: "I also think that my mother is a kind person and should not have any enemies. But people's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't be completely sure."
At this time, Jiang Jilian suddenly interrupted and said, "Sir, I thought of something. Two days before my mother disappeared, I saw her talking to a strange man in the garden. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think about it, the man looked sneaky, maybe it was related to my mother's disappearance."
A gleam flashed in Lord Liu's eyes, and he immediately asked, "What does that man look like?"
Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and described: "He was tall, wearing a black long gown, with an ordinary face but sharp eyes. I didn't think he was abnormal at the time, but now thinking back, he was indeed a little suspicious."
Lord Liu nodded and said to the detective beside him, "Go check this man and see if you can find any clues."
The constable took the order and left, and Lord Liu chatted with Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin again. At this time, Jiang Jixin's expression gradually relaxed and even smiled. Lord Liu saw this and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Lord Liu suddenly asked, "Jiang Jixin, why did you suddenly laugh?"
Jiang Jixin was stunned and hurriedly covered up: "Oh, sir, I just remembered an interesting thing when I was a child."
