Traveling through ancient times.

The next day, in the front yard of the Jiang residence, at the invitation of Jiang family patriarch Jiang Yizhou, Master Liu Sichang presided over the matter, and many prominent elders in Fusong Town were present to clean up the matter of the servants in the backyard of the Jiang family who betrayed their master.

Jiang Yizhou and Ning Jianren each hold their own opinion:

Jiang Yizhou and two maids said: At first, Xu Ma and He Ma brought a few servants to break into the young lady's room, intending to murder her. They tried to stop them, but were insulted by the servants, so they fought back. Then the son-in-law came and wanted to burn the young lady to death. They finally escaped and asked Mr. Liu for help. With the help of the neighbors, they rescued the young lady...

Ning Jianren cried out that he was wronged: he had no idea what the servants did, because he had to take care of the Jiang family's business, internal and external troubles, and he was very busy in the past few months, leaving early and returning late every day. In addition, the young lady was frail and needed to rest, so he was afraid of disturbing her, so he rarely went to the back. He always told the servants to take good care of the young lady and try not to disturb her rest.

So he had no idea why these slaves did such a heinous thing this time.

I guess there must be some misunderstanding.

He had heard from his followers that there had been a conflict in the middle courtyard, and he had hurried back for the safety of the young lady. Then he saw the servants piling firewood around the house.

While he was holding those dogs in check, he sent people to put out the fire. Fortunately, he came back in time and prevented Zhou Zhou from getting into an accident, so that he would not regret it for the rest of his life.

Regarding what Ning Jianren said, in addition to the attendant Qihao who could testify, there were also two doormen, two servants and two maids who could testify.

Only two maids could prove Jiang Yizhou's statement.

...Yucui and Yunxin recalled the murderous look on the son-in-law's face when he saw them die last night. It was clearly him who ordered the servants to catch them and prevent them from running away. Then he asked someone to bring firewood to burn the young lady to death.

They were extremely angry and made their accusations in tears.

Several servants on Ning Jianren's side also cried out in injustice: their brother-in-law knew nothing and as soon as he arrived he saw someone trying to murder the young lady, and it was the brother-in-law who asked them to rush to put out the fire.

As for He Ma, Xu Ma and a few servants who entered Jiang Yizhou's yard at the first, some were disabled and some were injured, and none of them could speak.

Except for Xu Ma's mouth which was smashed by Jiang Yizhou, the rest were done by Ning Jianren's men.

In fact, if possible, he would just kill them.

But because someone broke in and interrupted his plan, he needed a scapegoat.

As for whether these people will cooperate with his words, it is very easy to solve:

First of all, they were speechless now. They betrayed Jiang Yizhou first, so Jiang Yizhou must hate them. If they turned against Ning Jianren again, they would have no chance of survival. Their families' lives and chances of survival were all in his hands.

Secondly, Ning Jianren had already made a promise to them privately that as long as they admitted that it was just a misunderstanding, he would let Jiang Yizhou not send them to the government, then they would still have a chance to survive, and he would also give their families some benefits.

So, now, Ning Jianren pushed all the blame onto those servants, and they nodded in agreement.

The matter was now a done deal.

...The whole story has been clarified. These evil slaves bear a grudge against Miss Jiang and want to commit murder when Master Ning is not at home.

Unexpectedly, he was rescued by his brother-in-law who came back in time.

Someone in the crowd spoke again in a neither loud nor soft voice: The son-in-law really loves the young lady. He was out socializing when he suddenly felt something and left his most important boss behind just to rush back to save Miss Jiang...

Someone said: That's right. But Miss Jiang can't tell right from wrong, and she blames her lifesaver. Tsk tsk, it's really not easy to be a live-in son-in-law...

Once someone starts a conversation, those who don't know the truth will soon be led astray.

...Yunxin and Yucui were extremely angry when they heard the discussions coming from the crowd, but it was useless for them to say anything now.

"Miss, you see they are confusing right and wrong. We..."

Jiang Yizhou sat in the chair sickly, and except for answering Mr. Liu's questions at the beginning, he sat quietly with his head lowered.

She was fully aware of the scene in the courtyard, everyone's reactions, and the discussions of those people just now.

Among these people, except for the two or three leaders, most of them are neighbors.

It's not their fault that they were easily led astray, but because the relationship between the original owner and Ning Jianren has always been one of deep affection.

Now you, a lady who always said how much your husband loved you, suddenly said that your husband wanted to murder you? If she herself didn't believe it, people would certainly doubt it.

But people are more likely to believe that the servant murdered the young lady out of hatred for her.

Jiang Yizhou gently patted Yunxin's hand.

Mr. Liu asked Jiang Yizhou for his opinion.

When Jiang Yizhou raised his head, tears welled up on his face. He pointed at the servants on the ground and said angrily, "I didn't expect that all this was done by you in the name of your son-in-law to murder me? I believe I have never treated you unfairly, but you actually..."

She cried so hard that she almost fainted. Yun Xin supported Jiang Yizhou with both distress and surprise, and whispered: "Miss, isn't this the girl..."

Yucui touched her arm, and Yunxin immediately stopped talking. Although she didn't know why the young lady suddenly sided with the son-in-law at this time, now that she had the support of the old master's former friend, shouldn't she vent all her grievances and then ask the son-in-law to hand over the power of the family and the contractual management rights of the shop? Why did she still follow the son-in-law's words?

But she thought the young lady must have her reasons for saying that, so she just gently stroked the young lady's back and said nothing more.

In fact, when Master Jiang decided to find a son-in-law for his daughter, Master Liu did not agree very much. Everyone knew the reason - if his daughter was a strong and independent person, it would be fine, and perhaps the family property and the Jiang family could be saved. But they protected and taught their daughter too well, and her character became weak and soft.

Why would a man who is talented and handsome bear the title of a son-in-law? Could it be that he really thinks he is after a woman and wants to be with her forever? How is that possible?

Mr. Liu actually believed more what the two maids had said just now, but since his niece had determined the nature of the fire, he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

After all, according to his thinking, even if his niece insisted that it was her son-in-law who did it, it was only one-sided. Even if they took the case to the government, they would have no chance of winning. And during this period, if the other party really had that evil intention, then his niece would be in real danger.

Master Liu put his thoughts back and comforted her, "Niece, don't get yourself sick because of these slaves. What do you decide to do now? If it's family law, I can execute it for you. If you want to report to the authorities, I'm willing to do it for you."

Regardless of whether it is family law or reporting to the police, these people will definitely die.

Several people were trembling with fear, looking at Ning Jianren beside them pleadingly.

Ning Jianren completely ignored it.

He looked at Jiang Yizhou with a cold gaze.

Jiang Yizhou pretended to cry for a while, then said, "I don't understand, what did I do wrong to make you hate me so much? When my parents were alive, you were so good to me, close and considerate, and you were responsible and efficient in doing things. I don't know why it turned out like this."

She turned to the crowd and said, "No matter what, I was lucky to escape unharmed this time. After all, they are the elders of my Jiang family who have served my parents for many years, and they have a whole family to support. I just hope that they can learn from this and not do such a rebellious thing again."

There was a boo from the crowd.

Miss Jiang is really generous. She was almost burned to death by her servants, but she didn't prepare family rules or report to the police. She even showed leniency and let them go? !

Someone said: "Who knows if he is saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs..."

Before these words could be heard in the crowd, Jiang Yizhou continued, "Now I only have two girls around me who can barely serve me. In addition, my health has been getting worse after this disaster. I am afraid I don't have the energy to take care of the affairs at home."

Ning Jianren frowned, wondering what this woman was trying to do.

Jiang Yizhou: "Uncle Liu and everyone are here, so I beg you to bear witness and supervise me. I plan to move to Yunshan Manor for recuperation. I don't know whether these servants will truly reform in the future. So, if these servants do not repent, please report them to the authorities and let them accept the punishment of the law to avoid harming innocent people."
