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

Chapter 702 Who is right and who is wrong

Tang Xiu actually knew a lot about what happened between Jiang Xiu and the scholar, including the fact that the scholar went to Lin'an City to meet Jiang Xiu again. But she never expected that Jiang Xiu would be so bold as to give birth to the scholar's child and raise the child in the mansion of a first-rank general. Although Ye Wenyan had revealed some things about these things in his writings when he went to Lin'an City last time, who would dare to think so much? Even if they guessed something, who would dare to believe it?

After that, there was no news about the scholar, and for several years, no one knew where he had gone. She thought the scholar had run away, but she didn't expect that he had not run away, but had actually hidden under her nose and worked as a housekeeper in the Jiang family for so many years.

Ye Wenyan hooked his finger, signaling her not to listen anymore and to follow him away.

Tang was a little reluctant, she wanted to hear more, these things were undoubtedly explosive for her, she especially wanted to know what plans Jiang Xiu and the housekeeper would have in the future. The housekeeper was now questioning whether the child was hers, what should Jiang Xiu say.

But Ye Wenyan asked her to leave, and she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to leave unwillingly. After she walked out of the yard, she looked back several times.

Seeing this, Ye Wenyan smiled and said to her, "After our old lady came back, didn't my aunt ask her why she was divorced?"

Tang said, "Why didn't you ask? But she didn't say anything! She just said that you, the fourth lady, were too domineering, and you had the relationship with the emperor, so you had the final say in the family. If you said to divorce her, you had to divorce her. We originally thought that was the case. After all, your uncle had a very unpleasant quarrel with you when he went to Lin'an City last time. He also thought that you were domineering and couldn't tolerate Jiang Xiu.

But I always felt that there must be something going on here, because Jiang Xiu had always refused to take out the divorce letter. If the person who sent her back had not said that she was divorced, she would definitely have concealed the matter and just said that she came back to visit her relatives and stay for a while.

She is the old lady of a first-rank general's mansion. With such a high status, how can she be divorced just like that? Fourth Miss, even if you are the future empress, I can see that you are a filial child. Our two families are relatives, and we all know how much your grandfather valued you when he was alive. So you can't divorce your grandfather's first wife for no reason."

Tang's analysis made sense. Ye Wenyan smiled and said, "But none of you thought that this was the reason for divorcing her, right? Also, I didn't write the divorce letter, and I didn't advocate divorcing her. Everything was decided by the head of our Ye family. I didn't play a key role in it. I just laid out the facts."

Tang nodded, "You did the right thing. No matter whose family this happened to, the ending would be the same. Even the Ye family is too kind. If it were our Jiang family... humph, we would have to beat such a person to death on the spot!"

After she said this, she suddenly realized that Ye Wenyan was not that kind, and there must be a reason why he still spared Jiang Xiu's life.

She thought about it again and soon figured it out. "Fourth Miss also discovered that something was wrong with the housekeeper after this, right? You kept Jiang Xiu and let her come back. Your purpose was to lure out the scholar from that year. Am I right? But that housekeeper Jiang Xian..."

The more Tang thought about it, the more she couldn't understand. "Fourth Miss, did you really find the right person? He doesn't look like the scholar back then at all! That person has been in our house for decades. I have seen the scholar back then. If he was right under my nose, I would not have failed to recognize him. Butler Fan Xian looks completely different from that scholar. Could it be that Jiang Xiu found more than one scholar?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "There should be only that one scholar, and the current housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion is that scholar back then."

"That's not right!" Tang still couldn't believe it. "The scholar was very thin and fair-skinned back then, but our housekeeper is dark, fat, and has a big beard. He doesn't look as tall as the scholar. He has been in our house for decades. He was also a young man when he came. He is your great uncle... Wait!"

Tang seemed to have thought of something. "Your words reminded me of something. The housekeeper was hired by your great uncle, but there was another housekeeper in the mansion at that time. That housekeeper had also worked in the Jiang Mansion for more than 20 years. He was an old man in the Jiang Mansion and had never made a big mistake. Your great uncle just gave him money and drove him away for no reason, and hired the current one.

The old butler shed tears when he left, knelt in the yard and kowtowed to his masters, and left without even taking the silver that had been given to him.

When the new housekeeper first took office, he did not do anything well and made many mistakes, but your uncle still insisted on using him. At first I couldn't understand why, but if you say that he is actually the scholar who had an affair with Jiang Xiuhe, then I can understand it. "

Tang sighed deeply when she said this. "No wonder the Ye family has given them everything they wanted over the past few decades. Jiang Xiu's care for her mother's family has completely exceeded the Ye family's due support for the Jiang family. No matter how great the favor was, I have never seen such a repayment. The Jiang family is what it is today, it is all due to the Ye family. Every brick and tile in this mansion was built with the money of the Ye family. And the reason why the Ye family gives them everything they want is because it was not given by the Ye family at all, but by Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu almost emptied the Ye family to support the Jiang family because her brother Jiang Shuo had that scholar firmly in his hands."

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Aunt finally figured it out. As for why the housekeeper doesn't look like the scholar back then, it's easy to understand. White people can get a tan, thin people can gain weight, beards can be grown, and waists can be deliberately bent. What's more, there are the art of disguise in the martial arts world! In short, as long as he intends to change, no one will think that he is living under the eyes of the Jiang family. This is called the darkest place under the lamp. The most dangerous place is also the safest."

Tang took a deep breath. The two things that happened today were more upsetting to her than the other.

In comparison, she was surprised but didn't care much about Jiang Xiu's matter. She was the one who didn't know about it, so even if Ye Wenyan wanted to settle the score, it wouldn't be her fault. As for her man Jiang Shuo, hehe, she always understood the principle that everyone would flee when disaster strikes, just like when she made a deal with Ye Wenyan, she just asked Ye Wenyan to protect her life, her son Jiang Hang's life, and her grandson Jiang Yu's life. As for Jiang Shuo and Jiang Hang's wives and concubines, they didn't matter, and her life and death were not within her consideration.

But now things have changed. It's not Ye Wenyan who wants Jiang Hang's life, but the death that Jiang Hang committed ten years ago has been found out. If everything is as Ye Wenyan and the concubine said, then Jiang Hang's head is gone!

"Fourth Miss." Thinking of this, Tang was about to cry, "The housekeeper is in the mansion. You can arrest him at any time and kill him however you want. We will never say no. But please, Fourth Miss, can you save Jiang Hang's life? If what happened outside is true, Jiang Hang could be killed at any time and anywhere! Fourth Miss, I beg you, I only have this one son, he can't die! We were wrong about what happened ten years ago. The other party can ask for any compensation, we will pay any amount of silver, as long as he can let the Jiang family go. Fourth Miss, please think of a way and talk to us!"

Ye Wenyan glanced at her sideways, "How can I plead for mercy? I don't recognize that man, and my people have been looking for him all night but couldn't find him. Who can I ask for mercy? Aunt, if you had known this would happen, what would you have thought? You can do such a thing that angers the heavens and the people, so you should have thought that sooner or later you will get retribution. In this world, there is a cycle of cause and effect, and no link is wrong. It's either today or tomorrow, or it may be ten years later. Do you think you can hide?"

"I can't hide from it." Tang admitted her fault tremblingly. "We were blinded at the beginning and did something against our conscience, forcing that family to death. We regretted it afterwards and beat Jiang Hang up and made him kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. But the mistake had been made and there was really no other way. That little woman didn't even care about her face. She kept suing and insisted that Jiang Hang go to jail and even wanted him to pay for the life of her unborn child. We had no other choice but to resort to that last resort.

Fourth Miss, no matter how wrong we are, it is all our fault. You must help us with this matter and compensate us in any way you can."

Ye Wenyan snorted coldly and ignored Tang. The Jiang family had a distorted outlook on life. Ten years had passed since the extermination of the family, and they still needed money to compensate. The whole family was going to die, so what was the point of giving more money?

Besides, since the person who survived had the ability to come back for revenge and was able to avoid the eyes and ears of Ji Nu and Yun Xiao, he was an expert. Have you ever seen an expert who is short of money? If someone wants to take the Jiang family's money, they can just climb over the wall in the middle of the night and empty the Jiang family! Those who don't want money want their lives. The Jiang family deserves to pay for their lives. Why should she help?

Seeing Ye Wenyan remained silent, Tang's heart grew colder. When Ye Wenyan walked back to the courtyard where she lived, she subconsciously wanted to follow him in, but was quickly stopped by Ji Rong: "Madam Jiang, please go back!"

Tang had no choice but to stop and called Ye Wenyan twice. Seeing that the other party still did not respond, she had to leave.

Feng Zhaolian was the first to come forward. A red ball appeared in front of her. Even on a cloudy day, it made people feel happy just by looking at it.

"Ayan, how is it? Have you sent the people away?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Let Ji Duo and Yun Xiao escort the concubine out of the mansion and the county. The murder in Xiushan County has basically been solved. Now there is only one step left, which is to go to the county government to check the files and verify what happened back then. If everything is true, the Xiushan County government must also take responsibility." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and asked Feng Zhaolian, "Who do you think is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
