The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 695: None of Us Can Escape

Someone from Jiang's residence ran to report to the authorities, and the authorities quickly sent people to take the body away. Then a drizzle began to fall again.

The butler was in a trance when he left the front yard, and he took the wrong road several times. When someone asked him where he was going, he thought for a while and said, "I'm going to see the master." Then the servant pointed in a direction and said, "The master lives over there. Are you confused, butler?"

He was not confused, he was scared, because Ye Wenyan's words reminded him of what he had done.

It was a crime that the entire Xiushan County had to bear with it. If it was something he had done decades ago, it was indeed enough to bury the entire Xiushan County with him. At least the victim's family had the strength to launch such a revenge.

That incident happened more than 30 years ago, and he has been controlled by the Jiang family for more than 30 years. In the past 30 years, the Jiang family used him to threaten Jiang Xiu and got a lot of money from the Ye family. He watched the Jiang family grow from a medium-sized house to the big house it is now, and watched the Jiang family's account office become more and more full day by day. He knew that this was all his credit, but unfortunately the Jiang family never gave him more money.

But he couldn't escape, because he couldn't escape at all. Although Jiang Shuo changed his name to Jiang Xian, which sounded like a servant of the Jiang family, he actually sent people to secretly monitor him, and he would not relax his vigilance even when he was sleeping at night.

He escaped once more than thirty years ago, but was caught and beaten so badly that he could not leave his bed for a month.

After that, he never dared to escape again, and gradually accepted his fate, thinking that it was not bad to be in Jiang's house. He was a housekeeper, ate well and dressed well. If he escaped, he might not have such a life.

The days passed peacefully, and he almost forgot about the incident. The Jiang family also thought that as long as Jiang Xiu was not dead, they could deduct money from the Ye Mansion continuously. Anyway, the Ye family had money, owed the Jiang family for saving their lives, and promised to support the Jiang family, so they took the money for granted and never showed any mercy.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Xiu was divorced and sent back to her parents' home, and his son, daughter-in-law and most promising granddaughter were also killed. After hearing the news, he almost fainted from fright, but at the same time he felt a little heartbroken.

Of course, the heartache is nothing compared to the fear. Although they are his children and grandchildren, they have never been raised by his side since they were young. He only saw them from a distance twice when Jiang Xiu took them back to her parents' home to visit her relatives. There is really no father-son relationship between them.

He was mainly afraid of the Ye family's revenge. If such a terrifying family launched a revenge, not only him, but the entire Jiang Mansion would be in danger. They could kill the second family of three in one breath, so what would it mean to destroy the Jiang family? Just based on the Ye family's achievements, as long as this matter was made public, the court would immediately send people over without the Ye family taking action to destroy the Jiang family.

This was his original thought, but he no longer thought so. The words of the little girl just now made him realize that things might be more serious than he thought. The Ye family might not only want to destroy the Jiang family, they want the entire Xiushan County!

How could this matter develop to this point? If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to touch Jiang Xiu at all.

The more the housekeeper thought about it, the more regretful he felt, and the angrier he became. By the time he reached Jiang Shuo's room, his thoughts had changed from "I regret having touched Jiang Xiu" to "How could I have been seduced by Jiang Xiu in the first place".

The more he thought about what happened, the more he felt that he was a victim. It was Jiang Xiu, that fickle woman, who seduced him and ruined his life. He could have married and had children to enjoy the happiness of family life. He was also very knowledgeable when he was young, and he might even have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. He was not a slave at that time, so he did not have to serve others. Instead, he could hire servants to serve him.

As a result, due to a moment of erroneous thinking, he was harmed by Jiang Xiu and ended up like this today. This is all the Jiang family's fault.

He pushed open the door, walked up to Jiang Shuo, waved away the maid who was feeding Jiang Shuo medicine, and took the bowl of medicine himself. He fed Jiang Shuo mouthful by mouthful, and when half of the bowl was in, he said to Jiang Shuo: "The Ye family has taken action."

Jiang Shuo didn't understand and asked him, "What did the Ye family do? What did the Ye family do?"

The housekeeper put the medicine on the table and sighed, "The murder in Xiushan County was most likely done by the Ye family."

"The Ye family?" Jiang Shuo also shuddered, and immediately realized what the housekeeper meant. Thinking about it carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. After all, the Ye family had already fallen out with the Jiang family, and his sister had been divorced. Just because the Ye family had the fourth daughter who became the empress, there was nothing they dared to do! He also began to get scared, "What should I do?"

He looked at the housekeeper in front of him, and the more he looked, the angrier he became. "It's all your fault. You knew that my sister had married the general of the Ye family, but you still had an affair with her. You two were together, but you even dared to have a child! Look, you not only harmed the Jiang family, but also the entire Xiushan County. As long as I hand you over, do you believe that the people of Xiushan County will eat you alive immediately!" Jiang Shuo was very excited. The reason why he was sick on the bed was because he was scared by this matter. He thought of countless possibilities, and he also thought that it might be revenge by the Ye family. Now the housekeeper himself said that it was the Ye family who did it, how could he not be angry.

The housekeeper hid for a while, and Jiang Shuo didn't catch anything. Then he heard the housekeeper say: "Master, don't be so excited. For more than 30 years, I have been honestly staying in the Jiang Mansion as a tool. Haven't you enjoyed the benefits brought by this matter? What do you think you rely on to get your current wealth and power? Do you think that without me, the Ye family will give the Jiang family so much money? Don't be ungrateful. Now you know that you are blaming me. Why didn't you catch me and send me to the Ye family and let General Ye chop me off?

After all, you are doing it for money. If you are doing it for money, then don’t make the Jiang family sound so noble.”

He pushed Jiang Shuo, causing him to slam against the bed frame. "Now that things have come to this, Master, don't think about staying out of this. We are all in the same boat. It won't do you any good if you hand me over. Jiang Xiu and I did it. Jiang Xiu is a member of the Jiang family. If we have to die, we have to die together. I have only one worthless life. It's worth it to have the nobles of the entire Jiang family buried with me. What do you think, Master? Do you still want to hand me over?"

"You're threatening me?" Jiang Shuo gritted his teeth in hatred, "Fan Pingxian, you actually dare to threaten me."

"Why not?" The housekeeper smiled, "Master still remembers my name is Fan Pingxian. I thought Master only remembered my name is Jiang Xian! As for whether it is a threat or not, I have said that we are on the same boat and no one can escape, so there is no threat. Even if you kill me, the Ye family will not let the Jiang family go. So let's not say those hurtful words anymore, and I will not argue with you whether Jiang Xiu seduced me first. Let's just think about whether there is a solution to this matter."

"What can we do?" Jiang Shuo was disheartened. "The Ye family used to be a family that the royal family had to give some respect to. Now they have a future empress. I heard that the engagement banquet has been held and the emperor has even knelt down to her. The Ye family wants revenge. What can we do? Just wait to die. If you don't want to die ugly, just swallow the poison yourself. It's better than dying at the hands of the Ye family."

"I don't want to die yet." The housekeeper said, "I still have a few years to live. I haven't lived enough."

Jiang Shuo was so angry that he laughed, "You are already over fifty, and you will soon be sixty. Won't you die sooner or later?"

"You can't just die like this. I'm unwilling to do that." He waved his hand and asked Jiang Shuo, "There was a guest at home last night. He said he was a distant relative of the old lady's mother's family. Does the master know about this?"

Jiang Shuo shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't heard her mention it. But since she is a distant relative, I think she is just staying for a few days and doesn't need any hospitality, so there is nothing to say. It's just that she came at a bad time. Xiushan County is too dangerous right now."

But the housekeeper told him: "It's not that simple. I always feel that there is something wrong with that group of people. They say they are relatives of the old lady, but I don't think so, especially one of the girls, who is very thoughtful. If she hadn't said something today, I would not have thought that the murder in Xiushan County would be related to the Ye family." He repeated what Ye Wenyan said this morning to Jiang Shuo. After that, Jiang Shuo was silent. After a while, he said: "I have seen those children of the Ye family. I will go to the mansion and identify them. If they are really here, we must be prepared to run away. It's either run or die. At that time, we can only choose one."

At this point, he sighed heavily, "The fourth girl of the Ye family who is engaged to the Emperor is really promising and beautiful. She is the most beautiful woman in Lin'an City. Originally, our Jiang family should be happy about such a good thing, but it's all because of you. Not only can we not be happy, but we have to worry about her coming back for revenge all day long. You don't know that the fourth girl is as beautiful as she is cruel. She doesn't recognize her relatives and her methods are vicious. Once she starts revenge, massacring Xiushan County would be the least of her worries."

He looked at the housekeeper, and the more he looked, the more regretful he felt. "Of course, if I had known about your affairs in advance, I would have tried every possible means to prevent my sister from giving birth to the child. The Jiang and Ye families are obviously relatives, and the Jiang family has saved the lives of the Ye family. If it weren't for your affairs, how good would the Jiang family be now! We would have become relatives of Lord Emperor. But because of you, everything is impossible."

Jiang Shuo stopped talking and quietly got up and dressed. The housekeeper knew that he was going to identify the person, so he didn't stop him, but only reminded him not to be too obvious, as those people were very vigilant.

At that time, Ye Wenyan was also thinking about the murder in Xiushan County. She guided the housekeeper to think about Jiang Xiu's affairs in the front yard, but in retrospect, she was also thinking about whether there was such a possibility.

Could it really be that the Ye family did this? But if it was the Ye family who did it, who would have done it?
