After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 391 There is something wrong with the maid in Jiang Mansion
The nanny took the thing handed over by Jiang Fu and carefully spread it out in front of Jiang's mother. Bai's mother and Bai Qingyun, who were nearby, were also lucky enough to see the words on it.
Bai Qingyun smiled and joked: "Mom, this location is not cheap!"
Bai's mother glared at Bai Qingyun, then smiled helplessly and said, "This place is originally occupied by important people in the city. It is quiet and elegant, only two streets away, and close to the market in the city center. It is not cheap."
Jiang's mother knew the purpose of their conversation. She looked at Bai Qingyun with appreciation, then wrapped her palm around the back of Bai's mother's hand on her leg, patted it lightly, and quickly retracted it.
"It's not his place to decide on such a large sum of money. Who is the person behind this?"
Jiang Fu responded, "It was the old lady. She knew that it was impossible for the eldest daughter to return to Kyoto, so she tried her best to alienate the young lady from the master and the mistress. As long as the master and the mistress are hindered, the position of the head of the Kyoto family will be more likely to be taken by the second branch."
"Before she left, she gave me a large sum of money, which was used to buy servants at home, and most importantly, to facilitate my search for thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in Bingzhou."
After hearing what Jiang's mother said, she remembered the news that the old lady was seriously ill, which she had heard in a half-awake state. Her eyes moved slightly, and she had a new plan in her mind.
She asked Uncle Fu: "Where are the banknotes?"
Uncle Fu was slightly stunned, not knowing what the old lady was up to, so he could only reply: "Madam, please forgive me, it was my negligence."
"Well, it's not your fault. Just recording these crimes is infuriating enough. It's inevitable that there will be omissions. The Ministry of Justice also has to torture the criminals several times before they can convict them!"
Jiang's mother was very calm throughout the whole process. She asked again: "Where is that bitch now?"
"He's in his room. He should still be unconscious. Give him some herbs later. He won't die."
Uncle Fu was not a stupid person to begin with, and now he was also very happy, so he quickly added: "I will take people to his room and search for the banknotes while he is still unconscious."
"Go ahead, bring a few more people with you, and don't forget to search the house he bought outside." Jiang's mother said with a slight raise of her eyelids.
Jiang Fu quickly handed the remaining piece of paper to the nanny beside him and quickly retreated. After the effect of the medicine wore off, Jiang Si would be unconscious for a while due to excessive blood loss. He needed to find the pile of banknotes within this time.
Seeing Jiang Fu's figure completely disappear around the corner of the yard, Jiang's mother solemnly instructed the nanny beside her: "Those maids who lost their virginity, although they did not do it voluntarily, are somewhat dissolute and not pure-minded. When I was sick, they did not serve me wholeheartedly. Let's sell them off now!"
The nanny was obviously shocked by what Jiang's mother said: "Madam, this... this old slave is more than..." She was about to kneel down with tears in her eyes, but Jiang's mother stopped her halfway.
"Well, it hasn't been easy for you these years, so I can't bear to blame you. It's always difficult for a person, and it's inevitable that there will be some things that are not well taken care of. So those maids didn't dare to be too rude, but they just didn't serve you as well as you wanted!"
Bai Qingyun's thoughts raced, and he suddenly remembered that when he was interrogating Jiang Si, the other party looked at Jiang's mother with a strange look, and the latter was even a little afraid of him.
Combined with the fact that this servant bought by the Jiang family was not attentive when serving, was it because Jiang's mother was seriously ill, or was it because of Jiang Si's suggestion? What exactly was this lack of attentiveness?
Seeing that Jiang's mother's eyes were dodging and she was obviously unwilling to say anything more, Bai Qingyun could only give up. He couldn't help but feel sorry for this person who had been tormented by the disease for several years.
"Selling them would be too cheap." Jiang's father, who had been filled with anger, said in a deep voice. Obviously, his wife's experience made him hate these servants as much as he hated the second wife.
But Jiang's mother had lived with her husband for decades, so she knew what the other party would say next after just one sentence.
She quickly glanced at the three people from the Bai family and said, "Okay, it's just a matter for a few servants, I'll handle it. You should pick up those imperial examination books now to avoid embarrassment."
Her look of disgust dispelled the oppressive feeling brought by the bloody smell of paper that originally permeated the space, and the atmosphere became harmonious.
She smiled and handed the last piece of paper to Bai's mother: "Hui Niang, take a look at it too. This last piece of paper is also related to the Bai family. I still need to ask your opinion on how to deal with it."
"Don't believe him when he says that we can't touch him without a contract. There are many bandits on the way back to Kyoto from Jiangzhou. If he is robbed or killed, we can't do anything about it." She waved her hand, and her casual look made people feel a lot more at ease.
Bai's mother took it, and after reading it, she frowned and handed it to Bai Qingyun and Bai's father beside her, motioning them to take a look as well.
After reading it, Bai Qingyun just chuckled, because without her stepping forward, Bai's father would know the loopholes in Jiang Si's interrogation.
Father Bai chuckled and said, "Jiang Si only guessed that the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum came from the Bai family, and this guess was also because someone in our family showed weakness during the trial."
"I remember my youngest saying that after drinking the liquid medicine, people won't remember what happened when they wake up?"
Bai Qingyun nodded, agreeing with Bai's father's point of view, and the latter continued his analysis.
"So, before this, there would be no clues pointing to the Bai family. Now, the medicine boy who knew about it in Bingzhou has died at the hands of the horse bandits, and the whereabouts of the head is unknown."
"Old Madam Jiang has had someone cut off that guy's money again. He will never be able to find this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! Let's leave Jiang Si to the two of you!"
"In that case, let's follow the plan." Jiang's mother frowned again and asked with some suspicion: "Did the Bai family really trade that thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum with Jishidiang?"
Bai's mother knew what she was worried about, so she said, "Well, her father often went hunting in the mountains, and wandering in the deep mountains and old forests was also a common occurrence. The Ganoderma was also found accidentally in a deep mountain valley not long after the youngest child recovered from his illness."
"I guess it's God's blessing!"
"Does anyone else know this news?" Jiang's mother confirmed again and again.
"No, the person in charge also told me the secret of the use of the Ganoderma lucidum at that time, and only said that it would be the best if we could find it."
"No one had much hope at first, but it was fate that we were able to find it in the end. We were also very careful when doing business."
"The only people who knew about this at home were my parents-in-law and the three of us. Qingshan and the others also kept it a secret for fear that it would slip out."
Bai's mother hesitated for a moment, then added: "Now, only a few of you know about it."
"Don't worry. That old witch did a lot of things to trip us up. Your father and I are not old and confused enough to save a stranger."
Although Jiang's mother acted as a guarantor, she also knew that her daughter had doubts about the relationship between her parents and other members of the Jiang family because she had been away for so many years.
After all, one is a daughter, and the other is the wife of Jiang's father's biological father.
If you are in a harmonious family, you will feel at ease with your family.
But in the Jiang family, they only have their daughter on both sides of their hands.
The current suspicion is nothing, she will let her daughter know later.
Mother Jiang thought to herself.
