Jiang Ning laughed wildly with her arms around her thigh for a while. After calming down, she took the teacup from Huang Ying and said, âWhatâs the big deal about being grounded for half a year? The stripped-off position can still be restored.â
Jiang Yi looked at her, âThatâs not enough?â
âBrother, are you so lenient with those who bully your sister?â
âOf course not, Iâm just thinking that a cornered dog will jump over walls, let alone him being a Crown Prince.â
âSoon, he wonât be the Crown Prince.â
âWhat?â
âNow that heâs grounded, isnât it easier to deal with him?â Jiang Ning smiled, âIf I donât let him become the Crown Prince, he definitely wonât succeed.â
Jiang Yi:ââ¦â
Where did this girlâs confidence come from?
Although he couldnât quite figure it out, Jiang Yi still felt envious of her demeanor.
This was the look of a child from the Jiang Family, like the offspring of his uncle and father.
To be honest, if it were up to him, he couldnât have calculated everything so precisely in this matter.
âSeventh Sister, Iâve always wanted to ask you something.â
âGo ahead, Iâll hold nothing back.â
âHow did you know about the affair between Madam Wang and Zhang Wang? It was said that even people in their own families didnât know. When Master Lu interrogated them, they all said they hadnât told anyone.â
âBrother, once I tell you, you mustnât tell anyone else.â
âDo I look like a fool to you?â
âA little bit.â
âYouâre asking for a beating!â Jiang Yi pretended to pinch her face. âGo on, tell me.â
Jiang Ning put down the teacup and laughed, âActually, itâs quite simple. A while ago, Aunt Fu went to buy vegetables and met a fellow who sold vegetables. His daughter was so ill that she was about to die, and Aunt Fu sympathized with him and gave him all the money for groceries. She told me about this.â
âBuying vegetables? And then?â Jiang Yi was patient, knowing that since his sister mentioned this, it must be related.
Jiang Ning smiled, âI thought it was a good deed, and since they were fellow villagers, it was our duty to help in times of need. So I complimented Aunt Fu and gave her some silver, telling her to send it.â
âAnd then?â
âThatâs it, the sick girl happened to be Madam Wangâs personal maid, Xiaohuan.â
ââ¦â Jiang Yi was speechless.
What luck!
âBut thatâs not right. I heard that during Master Luâs questioning, Madam Wang said her maid died of illness.â
Jiang Ning laughed, âShe was critically ill, and if Aunt Fu hadnât provided the money for treatment, she would have really died. Xiaohuan was Madam Wangâs maid, and because she got seriously ill, she was driven out. Later, Xiaohuanâs mother went to Madam Wang, saying her child passed away and asked for a funeral fee. Of course, they didnât give her.â
Jiang Yi laughed, âI guess Xiaohuanâs mother went to ask for money because you instigated her?â
âOf course not, I call it a suggestion.â
âYou sly little thing,â Jiang Yi laughed. âSo, Madam Wangâs affair was all told by Xiaohuan?â
âNo, Xiaohuan told Aunt Fu, and Aunt Fu joked about it when she told me. At first, I didnât care and just treated it as gossip. Until I decided to punish Li Jixian.â
âThe Crown Prince deserves it, but wonât this implicate innocent people?â
âBrother, do you think that Madam Wang and Zhang Wangâs collusion is innocent?â Jiang Ning smiled ambiguously, âIf in the future, my sister-in-law from the Zhang Family alsoâ¦â
âStop, stop, stop! Donât say another word, you sneaky girl!â
âHahaha.â Jiang Ning laughed, âOne is a married woman, the other a married man, and their secret affair is not a huge crime. But what they have done is not limited to this..â
