Jiang Rong said with a happy face: "What evidence does my uncle have that can prove my aunt's innocence? If there is, I will definitely be able to save my aunt. Selling illegal salt is a major case, and it also involves the Northern Prince's Mansion. Who dares to bend the law for personal gain?" ? What evidence do you have? Just hand it over first!"
Jiang Qingrong wilted instantly.
In recent years, illegal salt smuggling has become rampant, and the emperor ordered a strict investigation. Mingxinsi arrested an unknown number of the emperor's relatives because of this.
There's no way to buy it off.
really. How to save Jiang Rong? Who dares to bend the law for personal gain?
"I... don't have any evidence, but I have known your aunt for many years and feel that she is not such a person. I will go to the prison to visit first and ask about the situation." Jiang Qingrong immediately changed his tune.
He didn't want to lose himself just to get a Chang family.
"That's very good. Uncle, I will definitely try my best to save my uncle!" Jiang Rong comforted.
Jiang Qingrong left.
Jade hesitated to speak, "Chang almost harmed you, you still have to save her..."
"My aunt has been kind to me in raising me. Even if my aunt has some faults, how can I be ruthless and unjust as a child?" Jiang Rong said slowly.
Jiang Rong was raised by the Chang family.
If you don't listen and don't ask, you will definitely be criticized verbally and written for being unfilial.
Moreover, before it was time for her to break up with her second wife, she still had to wait for her two good brothers to kill each other.
On the surface, she naturally wants to save the Chang family, but then kills people in private.
"Miss, you really value love and justice." Ying Xia quickly greeted her.
Jiang Rong pursed her thin lips slightly, "I have always been clear about grudges."
……
On March 25, the verdict was passed on Chang's private salt case.
He was initially sentenced to beheaded, but was eventually sentenced to 100 sticks and exiled to Lingnan.
And this change of sentence was due to Mrs. Xie's helpful words. For the sake of the North Palace, the emperor spared Chang's life.
People at that time praised the princess of the Northern Palace for her pure filial piety and kindness.
"Good child, by saving Mrs. Chang's life, you have repaid her kindness in raising her. From now on, she will have nothing to do with you. Don't be sad for such a person..." Mrs. Xie comforted her. .
Jiang Rongfu bowed and said, "Thank you so much, grandma, for being willing to help your aunt."
"If you are reluctant, you can go and give her a gift..." Mrs. Xie was particularly tolerant of Jiang Rong. Who doesn't like children who are kind, filial and loyal?
"Rong'er can't bear to be separated from her aunt, so just watch her last time from a distance." Jiang Rong lowered his eyes and said again:
"We have a cloth shop in Maple Leaf Town, which is the source of supply for the silk and satin shop. Rong'er wants to go to Maple Leaf Town to check the cloth shop's accounts and asks her grandmother for permission."
Maple Leaf Town, located near the capital, is famous for its dyeing and weaving.
Since Jiang Rong took over the Xie family's property, he has been checking the accounts of every business shop and is very responsible.
"Thank you for your hard work, go ahead. Bring more guards!" Old Concubine Xie nodded, looking at her with eyes full of praise.
Jiang Rong did not forget about official matters because of personal matters, and already had a vague aura of taking charge of his own affairs.
……
At nightfall, Jiang Rong and his party arrived in Maple Leaf Town.
"I have something for you to do." Jiang Rong looked at the black-clothed secret guard standing in front of him and ordered.
This secret guard was left to Xie Lingxi before she left.
Responsible for keeping her safe.
Follow her orders.
Jiang Rong never thought of hiding it from Xie Lingxi and treating his people as his own.
Trustworthy.
Moreover, she herself would not be able to find such a skilled and loyal secret guard for a while.
"Tonight the convoy escorting the prisoners passed by Maple Leaf Mountain near Maple Leaf Town, and a few of them kidnapped the Chang family."
The two secret guards in the west looked at each other in confusion. The prince asked them to obey the prince's concubine's orders. Then... they should also listen to the hijacking of the prison car, right?
The Westerners were ordered to retreat.
Jade's eyes widened in shock. It turns out that the Crown Princess brought people to Maple Leaf Town specifically to save the Chang family...
……
Chang was locked in the prison car.
She had been beaten a hundred times and was covered with scars. She was huddled in the prison car, her hair unkempt, like a beggar.
Unconcious.
The lady of the chamberlain, who was a respectable person just a few days ago, became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.
She couldn't accept this huge gap.
She is a smart person and knows very well that there is no way she can turn around now.
Her husband would not save her because he only thought it would hinder his reputation. That big shot wouldn't care about her life or death. Jiang Rong was deceived by her and tried his best to save her life, but what's the use!
Let her be exiled to Lingnan, and her life will be worse than death!
At this moment, several men in black rushed over, and the guard hurriedly shouted: "Here, someone is hijacking the prison car!"
Chang's eyes shone brightly and she waved in surprise, "I'm here...come and save me..."
The escorting officers were no match for the secret guards, and Chang was successfully rescued.
Half an hour later.
The secret guard came back with a sack and opened it, "Young madam, I brought him back."
Mrs. Chang got out of the sack, looked at Jiang Rong sitting in the main seat, breathed a sigh of surprise, and immediately started performing, with red eyes and said:
"My aunt knew that Rong'er would definitely save me. It's not in vain that I raised you from childhood and treated you like my own daughter!"
"My uncle divorced you. So, you are no longer my aunt." Jiang Rong said calmly.
On the day when the verdict was handed down, Jiang Qingrong immediately wrote a letter of divorce and sent it back to Chang's natal family to sever the marital relationship with her for the sake of his official reputation.
From now on, the Chang family has nothing to do with the Jiang family.
Chang knew that Jiang Qingrong was a ruthless and unjust person, otherwise how could he seek to seize his brother's family wealth.
But when it was his turn, he was also very angry: "Since I married him, I have put in so much effort for him and used my dowry to pave the way for him. He is such a wolf-hearted thing!"
"This uncle deserves to die. In the near future, I will send him to accompany you." Jiang Rong nodded in agreement, looking down at Chang on the ground, his eyes were cold and silent.
Chang's face froze, and she vaguely felt something was wrong, "Rong'er, what are you talking about..."
"Ms. Chang, who was the person who entered Yuquan Villa with you a year ago and burned my mother's belongings?" Jiang Rong asked straight to the point.
Chang's expression suddenly changed, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"Who is the person who gave you the poison of the underworld? This poison is a strange poison in the world. It can make the poisoned person unable to live or die. It is expensive and hard to find. If such a precious poison is used on me, this It’s really not something you can bear to do.”
To put it simply, if Chang wanted to kill her, a packet of arsenic would be enough, but she was reluctant to use such an expensive poison.
"You...you..." Madam Chang couldn't help but panic. She didn't expect that Jiang Rong knew everything, but she had a look of aggrieved and sad expression on her face:
"Rong'er, aunt doesn't know what you are talking about. There must be some misunderstanding! You lost your mother when you were young and your father when you were three years old. I worked hard to raise you. How could you misunderstand that I want to harm you? "
"If I wanted to kill you, how could you survive today? I regard you as my own and my daughter. What you say really breaks my heart!"
Chang pretended to sob.
