Chapter 225 Young Master Ye's Case
Chapter 225 Young Master Ye's Case
The one who sneaked into the Buddhist hall that night and brought the blood-written letter was Green Bamboo, the maid who helped Jiang Xinyu marry Xiao Yuan.
Li knew that if she sent a maid to file a complaint about her case, there was a high chance that the case would be intercepted.
She only had this one chance and couldn't afford to take any risks. The safest way was to hand the blood letter over to Jiang Xinyu.
They didn't really have a relationship, but she was sure Jiang Xinyu hated Zhao Chengye.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Rather than betting on the impartiality of the yamen, she would rather gamble on Jiang Xinyu's side.
There was too much time when they arranged the marriage, so she didn't have time to investigate much.
After the incident was over, her confidant managed to get the truth out of the Jiang family's servants.
No wonder a young woman would choose an old eunuch over the heir of a duke's mansion; it turns out she did it to save her life.
Li admired Jiang Xinyu quite a bit; the girl wasn't stupid to think of cooperating with her on a marriage exchange in such an emergency.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't possibly not hate her fiancé who wanted to marry her, kill her, and then marry her half-sister for her dowry.
Now, Governor Xiao is at the height of his power, and the water level in the river rises with the rain.
She believed that Jiang Xinyu would seize the opportunity to kill Zhao Chengye to vent her anger by handing over a handle to her.
As long as that beast dies, her revenge for Mingyue will be fulfilled, and she can die in peace.
Green Bamboo quietly slipped out of the Li family with the blood-stained clothes in her hand. Following her memory, she found the Eunuch's Mansion and hid in a corner until dawn.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao hadn't moved yet at this time, and when he heard that someone had come to his door seeking help, his godmother actually met with him.
Green Bamboo was quite clever; she knew that the young master from the Li and Zhao families might not take it seriously.
She then said that she was the maid who helped Jiang Xinyu and Supervisor Xiao with their wedding ceremony that day.
The one who was murdered this time was the one who was originally supposed to marry Governor Xiao, but was instead married to Prince Zhao.
Her master, fearing the power of the Duke's mansion, refused to stand up for his young lady and even poisoned and rendered his wife mute. The wife had no choice but to ask her to beg the eunuch's wife for help.
Her words indeed piqued Ye Xiao's interest, so he had someone keep her under guard in the mansion while he took the bloodstained clothes into the palace to find Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the blood letter written by Li Shi and smiled coldly, naturally telling her eldest son to investigate however he wanted.
To be honest, she had almost forgotten about the Jiang family and Zhao Chengye, but since they had come knocking on her door, it wouldn't hurt to take revenge.
Revenge takes many forms, and Jiang Xinyu prefers to categorize them by their level of danger.
Anyone who can threaten her, regardless of the size of the grudge, should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent any potential problems.
She only had impotent rages that weren't very lethal, so she kept them to relieve boredom.
Take the Jiang family, for example.
Not only is her own family in complete chaos and misery, but she also has to watch her become increasingly smug. She has no desire to cause trouble for this kind of person.
I'm happy knowing they're not doing well; I'll just leave a comment when they're doing better.
The main theme is to subject them to a state of being neither alive nor dead, a state of being repeatedly tormented by a dull knife.
As for Zhao Chengye, Jiang Xinyu would probably only think of having someone cause him some trouble when she was really free.
But I really can't remember it lately.
Jin Zekang gave her the key to the old emperor's private treasury, and she is busy exploring the new world.
It was a new world, not those porcelain vases, ornaments, gold and silver jewelry, but several large boxes of top-quality erotic books and pornographic materials collected by the old emperor.
During those days, Supervisor Xiao even slacked off in his work and secretly drank tiger penis soup in private.
When Jin Zekang found out, he shamelessly insisted on taking half of it, saying that if he wasn't given half, he would eat it all himself next time he found something good.
Jiang Xin gritted her teeth and immediately told someone to tell Xie Zhuojin that Zekang was thinking about women.
Bi took away not only the erotic films featuring male lovers but also those featuring both men and women, so he probably had some ulterior motives.
Her suggestion was for Xie Zhuo to consolidate his position in the family.
If Jin Zekang knew how good men were, he wouldn't want women anymore.
Now that Jin Zekang is in charge of overseeing the country, he has not returned to the Prince An's residence but has moved directly to the former capital.
Xie Zhuo naturally lived with him, and the distance from the harem was just a passageway away.
Xie Zhuo certainly wouldn't go to the inner palace, but Jiang Xinyu, being bored, would come to the front court.
Jin Zekang and Xiao Yuan were both too busy, but they still ended up getting together without either of them knowing.
Xie Zhuo is young and fun. I found it very interesting when I first heard Jiang Xinyu cursing.
Jiang Xinyu is easy to get along with. The two of them get along quite well when they have nothing to do, such as eating sunflower seeds, chatting about crickets, and gossiping.
Jin Zekang's precautions against Jiang Xinyu contacting his daughter Azhuo were not without reason; it's just a pity that even his strict precautions couldn't prevent it.
When the young emperor finished class, Jiang Xinyu would play with him, tell him some modern philosophical stories, and teach him some ways of being a ruler.
The young emperor's lessons lasted several hours, so Jiang Xinyu would wander around the palace whenever she had free time.
She also liked to dress up as a palace maid and run out to chat with palace maids who didn't know her.
When the old emperor was alive, everyone in the palace was busy vying for his favor and was always on edge.
The emperor is still young and there's nothing to fight over, so everyone in the palace relaxed.
Whether you know them or not, just grab some sunflower seeds and you can start chatting.
Xie Zhuo also loved chatting with Jiang Xinyu, learning a lot of things that made Jin Zekang both happy and troubled.
Jiang Xinyu's life in the palace was rich, colorful and pleasant. If it weren't for the trouble that came her way, she really wouldn't have thought of Zhao Chengye.
Ye Xiao took the initiative to take on this task after receiving instructions from his adoptive mother. He assigned the Ministry of Justice to help with the trial and the Five Cities Garrison to accompany him in the arrest.
Young Master Ye immediately pulled out all the stops, his cold face and ambiguous smile actually bearing a resemblance to Chief Supervisor Xiao.
Zhao Chengye recited the lines he knew by heart, then tearfully accused Li Mingyue of poisoning his father.
He killed someone in a moment of passion while seeking revenge for his father. If you don't believe me, you can open the coffin and examine the body to see the cause of Ningguo Gong's death.
Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes and stared at him coldly, actually asking a question that had little to do with the case.
"You said that she poisoned your father so that you would observe mourning if you divorced Li Mingyue and married someone else, right?"
So, which one are you going to marry?
Zhao Chengye was caught off guard and didn't expect anyone to ask this question.
He wanted to marry Jiang Wanqiu, but now that things are practically over, he doesn't dare say it.
In this era, a woman's reputation was extremely important; getting involved was tantamount to ruining her future.
Given his current situation, it's impossible for Wanqiu to marry him, especially if it ruins her future...
He was also afraid that Jiang Wanqiu might give up and turn against him.
When he helped Zhang Zhongyi train Yan Fei, Jiang Wanqiu knew everything and even helped him.
If this gets out, she might be fine even though she's Jiang Xinyu's younger sister, but she'll definitely be targeted by that damned eunuch.
Seeing that Zhao Chengye couldn't name such a person, Ye Xiao gave a cold smile.
"Is she Jiang Wanqiu, the illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family?"
After all, you two had a shady relationship before, so it's not surprising that you rekindled it.
"Young Master Zhao, you're right, aren't you?"
Zhao Chengye quickly shook his head awkwardly, "This gentleman is joking. I have no relation to Miss Jiang."
I only had dealings with the Jiang family because I was engaged to their eldest daughter.
Well, later... after he got married, he never went to the Jiang family again.
A woman's reputation is of utmost importance; please, sir, be careful with your words.
"Reputation? What reputation does a woman who's having an affair with her future brother-in-law have?"
Ye Xiao revealed a mischievous smile, "Young Master Zhao doesn't recognize me, does he?"
My name is Xiao Mo, my father is Xiao Yuan, and my mother is... Jiang Xinyu!
