After arranging all this, she asked her mother Jing Qiudie to sort out all the land deeds and house deeds.

At first, Jing Qiudie didn't understand why her daughter was like this.

"Even if your father is impeached, I believe there is still room for improvement."

"Mom, we should make plans early this time. The sooner everything is arranged, the better."

Until the servant of Jiang Mansion ran in in panic, shouting: "Oh no, oh no! Master and Madam, there are soldiers outside, saying they want to arrest the master for questioning!"

Jing Qiudie suddenly realized what her daughter meant and hurriedly took out the box containing the land deeds and house deeds.

Jiang Nianwei immediately sent people to deliver the things and the secret list to Prince Yu's residence. Their transaction was thus successfully completed. These things already belonged to Prince Yu, and even if someone came to search his house, they would certainly not be able to take them away.

And a large amount of silver bills have been stored in the space by her, and no one can take them away.

Not long after, more than a dozen officers and soldiers broke into the Jiang Mansion aggressively. The leading officer was even more arrogant and domineering, and directly kicked open the door of the Jiang Mansion.

As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Those who wanted to cling to my father in the past are now eager to cut off ties with him.

Jiang Nianwei heard her second brother arguing with someone from a distance.

"My father has not committed any crime, why are you taking him away!"

"Lixuan, stop arguing, I'll go with him." Jiang Yan was not afraid of anything alone, but the thing he feared most was that his family would be in trouble.

"Sir Jiang, I am sorry for the offense. The emperor has ordered us to capture you and interrogate you. I had no choice but to do this."

Jiang Nianwei immediately ordered someone to stuff a bag of silver into the officer's hands, "Sir, my family is ignorant, please keep these."

"You are still sensible." The officer's originally fierce expression disappeared without a trace. He put away the silver and revealed a greedy smile.

Jiang Nianwei handed over another bag of silver, "These are for the brothers to buy tea. I just hope you can take care of father more."

The officers and soldiers finally softened their attitudes and were no longer so rude to Jiang Yan. "Of course."

Jiang Nianwei glanced at her father and said with concern: "Dad, you must take care of yourself."

Jiang Yan's eyes were complicated. He still held a glimmer of hope for His Majesty. Even if he had no merit, he had worked hard over the years. His Majesty would definitely not treat him like this.

But soon, he found out that he was wrong.

After Jiang Yan was taken away, the whole family was in a state of despair. Jing Qiudie couldn't help sobbing, "I advised your father not to make enemies everywhere, but he didn't listen. I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. You are still young, and your sister-in-law is pregnant... What should we do?"

Jiang Nianwei then remembered that her sister-in-law was six or seven months pregnant and was frightened during the house search. She was pushed by the soldiers and had a miscarriage and then suffered heavy bleeding, and eventually died.

It seems that she has to make multiple preparations now.

Jing Qiudie sobbed, "If I had known this would happen, Nianwei, you really shouldn't have come back. If you had stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, you would not have been implicated..."

"We all prosper together and we all suffer together. My surname is Jiang, so I will be with you. But don't panic now. Father has suddenly encountered such a change. Our family must not panic. We must work together to overcome the difficulties."

Wiping away her tears, she looked into her daughter's eyes, "Nianwei, why do I feel like you've changed?"

Jing Qiudie was surprised to find that Jiang Nianwei had changed a lot. In the past, if her daughter encountered such a thing, she would definitely panic and cry incessantly, but now she can respond calmly and handle it in an orderly manner.

"After going through some things, I am no longer as ignorant as before."

Now she just wants to be with her parents and relatives and overcome the difficulties together.

Besides, she also snatched the golden finger of the time-traveling girl, gained space, and left the capital, which was in dire straits. This was a good thing.

Jiang Lixuan wanted to ask for help, but Jiang Nianwei knew that her second brother was stubborn and it was useless to stop him, so she let him go.

Jiang Lixuan remembered that his father used to be the prince's tutor, and he must have a way to rescue his father. But now it is extremely difficult to get close to the prince. He wanted to go to the East Palace, but was stopped by the guards.

He knelt down in front of the palace, but was mercilessly mocked by the guards: "Even your father can't enter this palace. He is now a criminal. How can a nobody like you enter? You are dreaming. Get out of here!"

In fact, the guard was also helping him. The emperor ordered that if anyone pleaded for Jiang Yan again, he would be locked up with him. If Jiang Lixuan was not driven away, he would probably not have a good ending.

Jiang Lixuan could only ask for help from officials who were on good terms with his father, but after such an incident, no one was willing to come forward to plead for him.

At this moment, Jiang Nianwei gathered everyone together, and the servants in the mansion gathered together. She did not hide anything and spoke frankly about the current situation in the mansion, "The Jiang Mansion is no longer what it used to be. If you want to leave and pay your wages, I will return the indenture to you, and you can find another place to go."

As expected, after she said this, most of the slaves chose to leave with their indentures.

However, there were still a few loyal servants who were willing to stay in the Jiang Mansion. Even though Jiang Nianwei wanted to give them more banknotes, these people still insisted on not leaving.

Jiang Nianwei agreed to their wishes, knowing that she would not treat them unfairly in the future.

Aunt Liu beside Jing Qiudie was also an elder in the mansion. She was determined not to leave, "I am the maidservant who came with you as a dowry, and I swear to follow you till death."

After saying this, the master and servant couldn't help but hugged each other and burst into tears.

This sudden change came so suddenly that everyone found it hard to accept it for a while.

But Jiang Nianwei was well prepared, and she had already arranged everything, so her father should not be tortured again.

After Jiang Yan was thrown into prison, he was prepared to be punished, but he never expected that there was a bed prepared in the dark prison. Not only that, there were even roast chicken, wine and peanuts prepared for him.

Could it be possible that this would be his last meal before execution?

Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, still feeling grateful for his hard work over the years. He naturally had a clear conscience towards the people.

He didn't care if he died alone, but he was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drink.

In a short while, a tall man in official uniform came over with a knife, but his tone was extremely respectful, "Master Jiang, please stay here for one night. I will let you go tomorrow."

This person is Fu Siya's brother. He had originally accepted his sister's request.

Who knew that someone from above put pressure on him to torture Jiang Yan severely.

Originally, he was in a dilemma, but the prince sent someone to ask him to take good care of the outspoken Lord Jiang. He felt confused.

Some people want him to die, some people want him to live. He was caught up in this unexpected turmoil, but Prince Yu is obviously stronger.

"Will the execution be carried out tomorrow?" Jiang Yan drank a glass of wine with a slightly melancholy look on his face.

"Master Jiang, you're overthinking it. Just stay here for one night. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

"Fu Sikou, don't lie to me. The final meal has been prepared for me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

He felt aggrieved and sad, but more importantly, he felt unwilling and guilty.

He was clearly loyal to his country and his people, but in the end he ended up like this.

Jiang Yan was already drunk and fell into a deep sleep on the made bed.

Fu Sikou shook his head helplessly. This was the first time he had seen such treatment in prison.
