Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children
Chapter 42 A dead horse becomes a live doctor
Ye Yinli approached the bed with a lewd look on his face, a smug smile on his face. He stretched out his shaking hands and tried to untie Jiang Minyun's belt. His eyes were full of desire to possess her, as if she was just an item to be sold.
"Hmph, women are so weak and vulnerable." Ye Yinli sneered in his heart. He looked down on these so-called weak women and believed that they were just playthings in the hands of men, with no status and no value.
His movements were rough and impatient. His fingers brushed lightly over his clothes, his eyes full of possession.
"Jiang Minjun, you are really my lucky charm. You are unconscious, which is just right for me to do whatever I want." Ye Yinli murmured in a low voice as he moved closer to the bed.
The atmosphere in the room became depressing and weird. Under the dim light, Ye Yinli's expression became more obscene, and the greed in his eyes became stronger. He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Jiang Minyun's cheek, but at the last moment, he stopped.
Inside the room, Ye Yinli's movements gradually slowed down. A hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but he immediately regained his determination. Just as he was about to touch Jiang Minyun, a slight noise came from the roof. Ye Yinli suddenly raised his head, his eyes sweeping across the roof like a knife.
In the room, Ye Yinli's sudden action made the atmosphere extremely tense. Gu Zhiyi, Xie Huiyi, and Xie Huixuan held their breath on the roof, their hearts surging. Gu Zhiyi clenched his fists, his eyes firm, while Xie Huiyi's tears slid down her cheeks, her anxiety was beyond words.
Gu Zhiyi gently pushed Xie Huiyi away and whispered, "Huiyi, you stay here. I'll go down and save your master."
Xie Huiyi eagerly grabbed Gu Zhiyi's sleeve and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, please save Master and don't let her get hurt."
Gu Zhiyi nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt Master Jiang."
After that, Gu Zhiyi jumped off the roof lightly and approached the room silently. She took out a stone from her sleeve, aimed at Ye Yinli's head, and flicked it lightly. The stone hit Ye Yinli's forehead accurately, and he fell to the ground unconscious instantly.
After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Minyun reacted quickly. She picked up the short knife on the table and slashed Ye Yinli's body without hesitation, then kicked him away. Blood gushed out of Ye Yinli's wound, staining the ground red.
At this moment, Xie Huixuan on the roof was watching all this nervously, Xie Huiyi clenched her fists tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Minyun went to the side hall and knocked out the maid who had drugged her, and then let in a woman with a birthmark on her face to replace herself.
Then Jiang Minjun used Qinggong to return to the roof. Xie Huiyi was very surprised by her ability. "Master, you are so amazing. I didn't expect that Master and mother both know Qinggong."
Xie Huiyi cried because she was worried about Jiang Minyun, and Xie Huixuan scolded her: "You are overreacting. Don't you still believe that Master has the ability to turn danger into safety?"
Jiang Minyun smiled and comforted: "Huiyi, don't worry, I'm fine now."
Inside the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, the tranquility was broken by a hurried announcement. The maid Xiaoyue looked panicked and trotted to the housekeeper, Mama Li, with a slightly trembling voice: "Mother, there seems to be something unusual going on in the side room, please go and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Madam Li immediately summoned the servants in the mansion and hurried to the side room. She secretly thought that if such news reached the ears of the old lady, it would definitely cause a commotion.
Soon, the old lady learned the news. She was always decisive and immediately ordered, "Prepare the sedan chair. I want to go and see it myself." She led a group of ladies from aristocratic families and walked towards the side room in a menacing manner.
Mrs. Jiang kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, while Mrs. Deng kept her head down and said nothing.
Mrs. Jiang: "Please tell me clearly what is going on here?"
Deng sighed, "In fact, I wanted to take advantage of the old lady's concern for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and let them investigate the matter themselves, and then find an opportunity to push the blame on others. But I didn't expect that the maid was so careless and the news spread so quickly."
Madam Jiang said angrily, "You are playing with my life! You know the old lady's character. Once she gets angry, no one can stop her. What I am worried about now is whether the old lady will tell the Marquis about this."
Deng said nervously, "Madam Jiang, I am indeed wrong, but you also know that this matter involves too much, and I can't bear it alone. We have to find a way to suppress this matter quickly."
Madam Jiang said dissatisfiedly: "You are just making excuses! We had a good plan before, but now it's all messed up by you! Once the old lady finds out the truth, both of our families will be implicated. What do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Deng was anxious: "Mrs. Jiang, I admit that it is my fault, but I am trying to make up for it now. We can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to find a way to save the situation."
Mrs. Jiang was helpless: "What else can we do now? The old lady has already ordered the door to be broken down. I'm afraid the truth has been exposed. What I'm worried about is that if my husband knows the truth, he will divorce me!"
Mrs. Deng comforted her, "Mrs. Jiang, don't worry too much. The most important thing now is how to deal with the current situation. I have an immature idea. Why don't we go and explore the situation first to see if we can find any clues that can be used."
Madam Jiang hesitated: "What clues can we find now? However, at this point, we can only try our best."
Madam Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing now is to calm the old lady down and not let her tell the Marquis about this. We have to find a way to make her believe that we discovered and handled this matter in a timely manner."
Deng asked in confusion: "Then what should we do?"
Madam Jiang's eyes flashed with cunning: "We can take advantage of the old lady's character and make her think that we are protecting the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion for her. We will go to see her first, take the initiative to admit our mistakes, and ask her to give us a chance to handle the matter properly."
Mrs. Deng hesitated for a moment: "What if the old lady doesn't accept it?"
Madam Jiang said firmly, "You have to accept it even if you don't want to! We can't delay it any longer, otherwise things will only get worse. Deng, you come with me. We have to show our sincerity and make the old lady believe us."
Deng nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say."
The two hurriedly left the pavilion and walked towards the old lady's residence. Along the way, they kept discussing countermeasures, hoping to persuade the old lady.
Outside the old lady's residence, a group of ladies from aristocratic families were already waiting there. When they saw Madam Jiang and Mrs. Deng coming, they all cast strange looks at them. The two of them walked into the house with their heads held high, only to see the old lady sitting in the first seat, her face livid and her eyes sharp.
