Chapter 427 Provocation (2)
Jiang Ruan's expression changed, she forced a smile and sighed: "I just didn't expect that my elder sister was so heartless, and she was her biological father at least, how could she be so cruel? Although I am not very close to my father, I still feel a little reluctant to watch him fall into such a situation." As she said, she pressed her forehead again as if she was worried.
"The Empress is so kind-hearted," the palace maid couldn't help but persuade: "It's just that you should take good care of yourself now."
Jiang Dan waved his hand and shook his head and said, "I understand, you go down first."
The palace maid then looked at Jiang Dan with concern, and Jiang Dan was the only one left in the huge hall. She slid the handrail of the stool with her nails, and her face turned a little ferocious.
Jiang Quan has been sent to the heavenly prison. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan is so capable that he can still produce evidence after so many years. At the moment, Jiang Quan is only involved, but Butterfly knew that she worked hard for Xia Yan, so why didn't she expose this matter? Butterfly naturally wouldn't keep it secret for Jiang Dan. In fact, Jiang Dan had guessed that possibility, that was Jiang Ruan deliberately suppressed this fact. She had already known that she had poisoned her and Zhao Mei at the beginning.
As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Dan felt guilty. She knew very well about Jiang Ruan's methods. Since the legitimate daughter of Shanye who was no one cared about at the time, as Princess Jinying, who no one dared to underestimate now, Jiang Ruan almost swallowed the Shangshu Mansion in one bite like nibble, and eliminated the people who opposed her. Jiang Ruan's relatives did not recognize her and was very considerate, so how could she let her go? The reason why there is no movement now must be because there is a trick left?
The more Jiang Dan thought about it, the more scared he became. He couldn't help but bit his lower lip tightly. After a moment, she suddenly ordered her confidant Zhuer to come in and said, "I have something to tell you."
At the same time, on the carriage back home, Jin San asked Jiang Ruan in confusion: "Since the young lady knows that Jiang Zhaoyi is also the murderer of the wife, why didn't she let the butterfly bite her out? Even the concubine, as long as the life of the official wife is involved, it will be tried, and even the Majesty cannot intervene. Why did the young lady let her go?"
"I won't let her go." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I just don't want to be cheap like this. Butterfly's words have too many loopholes. Jiang Quan was caught because Xiao Shao intervened. Jiang Quan's career now seems to have come to an end and is not very powerful in the court. His Majesty will not have too many objections to this. But if Jiang Dan is involved, she is favored now. If someone with a heart carefully considers this case, it is not difficult to find the doubts in it. Don't forget that Butterfly and the so-called evidence are all created by ourselves. It is impossible to not reveal any clues in the world."
Jin San thought about it before nodding, "After that being said, it seems a pity to give up this opportunity for nothing. Does the young lady have a good idea?"
"Jiang Dan is suspicious. Although he is ruthless in his actions, he is still cowardly and timid in his bones for so many years. She is afraid that the truth will be revealed, and she thinks that she is already in a hurry in the palace. In a hurry, she can't think of the strangeness in this case. I think she should be full of thought about how to avoid being discovered. Jin San, after returning home, you can transfer a few Jinyiwei to secretly protect Jiang Quan. Before Jiang Quan is sentenced, you can't be killed and silenced." Jiang Dan ordered.
Jin San was shocked: "She actually wants to kill someone to silence her?" As she said that, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "A woman like this can do such a thing in order to protect herself. No wonder she attacked Mrs. Xian back then. But the young lady, although she protected Jiang Quan, what will she do afterwards?"
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I don't want to take the initiative. Once I take the initiative, I will always expose myself first. What I have to do now is to lead the snake out of the hole. The more I want her to be anxious, the more likely she will make mistakes. I will lure her to take action, but the dug out grave is just her own burial." When she said gentlely, Jin San felt that there seemed to be a cold chill, and she couldn't help but feel trembling. When she saw Jiang Ruan Yu smiled, she realized that she must be confident and just let go.
When she returned to Jiang's mansion, unexpectedly, there were some strange guards at the door of the mansion. Although these guards only dressed up as guards in the mansion, Jiang Ruan could see the difference at a glance. She was always good at observing details. These guards looked solemn and neat, even the Jinyiwei was not inferior. Jiang Ruan frowned. She had been in the palace for so many years in her previous life, and these people looked a bit like imperial guards.
Seeing her arrival, the guards nodded one after another and said, "I have seen the princess."
Jin San and Tianzhu's expressions changed slightly, but Butler Lin jogged all the way. Seeing Jiang Ruan was also slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect her to come back so early. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Mrs. Young Madam, why are you so early?"
Assuming that he did not see the abnormality of these people, Jiang Ruan was calm and said, "I'm a little tired. Butler Lin, I'll go to the study to sit down. If you have anything to do, wait until Xiao Shao comes back."
When the "study room" was mentioned, Butler Lin paused again. Among the strange guards around him, a leading guard suddenly said, "Princess, please do not go to the study room?"
Jiang Ruan ignored it, as if he hadn't heard him at all, and just walked towards the direction of the study in the mansion. The head of the guard changed his expression and immediately stopped Jiang Ruan and said in a deep voice: "Please move with the princess."
Jiang Ruan looked at him quietly, her eyes calmly, as if there was no feeling of praying for blessings, and she looked at the man indifferently. The man was finally a little speechless by her eyes. Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Butler Lin, is this a new guard? I don't know the rules."
"I am not a new guard." The guard leader has been walking for many years, and has never seen any kind of dignitaries. However, some officials still have to give him some shame. This is the first time he has slapped people in the face without hesitation. However, although he is a little embarrassed, his temper is still good, and he has no stubborn argument with Jiang Ruan. His expression is also very humble.
"Is this strange here?" Jiang Ruan smiled: "Since he is a guard of the foreign palace, he is an outsider, and outsiders will still interfere in the affairs of the Jinying Palace. No matter how powerful your master is, as long as he is not surnamed Xiao, he will not be able to interfere here." Jiang Ruan said lightly.
The guard was startled and looked at Jiang Ruan with some inquiry. Jiang Ruan looked at her calmly, and the man felt clever in his heart. He knew that Jiang Ruan probably understood the identity of the person inside, but even so, how could she dare?
Jiang Ruan felt cold in her heart. She seemed to have guessed the identity of the person inside. Although she was puzzled, she was more of a faint disgust. On weekdays, she probably just avoided it, but now she was related to Prince Jinying's mansion, so she became unhappy. Although the culprit in her previous life was not that person, she has always been very disgusted with the people in this ancestral hall since then. If she can avoid it in this life, she still wants to get involved in other people's lives? But why is he qualified to interfere in other people's lives?
