The Poisonous Concubine is alive

Chapter 158 Jiang still doesn’t give up

Jiang has always wanted to find ways to kill Mu Xiangru.

I had an affair with someone else before.

But I still like Liu Jinchen

That day, Jiang learned that Mu Xiangru went out alone, so she secretly sent someone to follow her. When Mu Xiangru walked into a secluded alley, a man in black suddenly appeared and attacked her.

Mu Xiangru sensed danger and immediately used her Qinggong to dodge. However, the black-clad men were numerous and gradually surrounded her.

At the critical moment, Liu Jinchen appeared in time and started a fierce battle with the man in black. He was agile and had sharp swordsmanship, and he quickly repelled the enemy.

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Mu Xiangru said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Xiangru, why are you going out alone? It's very dangerous here." Liu Jinchen asked with concern.

Mu Xiangru told him what had happened, and Liu Jinchen secretly swore in his heart that he must protect Mu Xiangru and not let her come into any harm again.

Liu Jinchen decided to send Mu Xiangru home, and they talked a lot along the way. Mu Xiangru found that Liu Jinchen was not only a martial arts expert, but also knowledgeable and had unique insights into many things, which made her admire him even more.

However, they didn't know that Jiang hadn't given up on her plan to assassinate Mu Xiangru. After this failed attempt, Jiang decided to take matters into her own hands. She found a colorless and odorless poison and prepared to put it in Mu Xiangru's food.

A few days later, one night, Jiang took advantage of the fact that no one was in the kitchen and secretly put poison into Mu Xiangru's soup. But she never expected that Liu Jinchen saw everything...

Liu Jinchen was speechless and still wanted to kill my wife Xiangru.

Seeing that I wasn't cruel enough before, killing her won't hurt my wife and children.

Liu Jinchen watched the scene before him, his heart swelled with an indescribable pain. His wife, that gentle and virtuous woman, was now once again being hurt by Jiang's harsh words, tears streaming down her face. He clenched his fists, resisting the urge to rush to his wife's defense. However, the rage within him, like a volcano, was about to erupt, unable to be suppressed any longer.

"Jiang, why do you keep hurting my wife?" Liu Jinchen finally couldn't help but speak, his voice trembling. He glared at Jiang, his eyes blazing with anger.

Jiang Shi didn't care at all. A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. "Humph, she is just a weak and incompetent woman. How can she be qualified to be your wife? I am just telling the truth."

Liu Jinchen's anger grew more intense. He glared at Jiang and gritted his teeth, "Do you know how many times your words and actions have hurt her? I can't stand it anymore. Today, I will make you pay for it!"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jinchen, fists raised, lunged at Jiang. He knew he could no longer endure the pain his wife had suffered. Only by venting his anger on Jiang could he ease the pain in his heart. This incident was destined to cause a stir within the Liu family.

Liu Jinchen's eyes were firm, and his tone revealed his endless love and protection for his wife. He looked at Jiang coldly and said in a clear voice: "No matter what my wife thinks, I like it, because she is sincere, kind, gentle and considerate. Every little flaw of hers is lovely in my eyes.

And you, Jiang, always exude a vile, coquettish air that makes people avoid you. You may think you're clever and can hurt others at will, but in my eyes, you're nothing more than a scheming, disgusting being. His words pierced Jiang's heart like a sharp arrow, leaving her face livid and unable to refute.

Liu Jinchen straightened his back, his eyes as sharp as ice, his voice low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty: "My wife, no matter what she is like, is the treasure in my heart, and every thought of hers is regarded as a treasure by me.

And you, Jiang, are nothing more than a woman with a vixen-like scent. No matter how twisted your thoughts are, they can't hide the despicable nature in you. Here, I want to warn you, if you dare to disrespect my wife again, don't blame me for being rude!" His words exploded like thunder, shocking Jiang's face pale. The air around them seemed to freeze. Liu Jinchen's domineering aura was unobstructed and no one dared to underestimate him.

Jiang's villainous plan is a meticulously woven web of conspiracy, designed to overturn the Liu family's power structure and seize control of the entire clan. First, she targets the family's lifeline, planning to gradually drain the family business through a series of covert business operations, plunging it into financial ruin. Simultaneously, Jiang, fully aware of the internal conflicts and discord within the family, skillfully sows discord, exacerbating tensions among the Liu family members and consuming their strength in internal strife.

Then, Jiang extended her dark hand to Liu Jinchen's marriage. Taking advantage of Liu Jinchen's busy and careless state, she secretly instructed her subordinates to spread scandals about his wife, attempting to destroy their relationship and further isolate Liu Jinchen. In addition, she also carefully arranged to place her own confidants in key positions in the family business, gradually undermining Liu Jinchen's real power.

On the political stage, Jiang Shi is also unwilling to be left out. She secretly colludes with political figures, attempting to use political power to suppress Liu Jinchen, even going so far as to create trouble and get Liu Jinchen into legal trouble. If Liu Jinchen's position is shaken, Jiang Shi plans to take advantage of the opportunity and seize the position of head of the Liu family in one fell swoop.

However, Jiang's ambitions went far beyond this. In her ultimate plan, she wanted to completely erase the Liu family's name, replacing it with her own and becoming its new ruler. To achieve this, she would stop at nothing, even if it meant pushing the entire Liu family to the brink of destruction. In this power game filled with conspiracy and betrayal, Jiang was like a lurking venomous snake, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Her gaze on General Liu was as sharp as a razor, staring directly at Jiang Xuemei, her eyes gleaming with an icy coldness. He knew this woman's intentions well. Every smile she gave, every feigned concern, was driven by one goal: to gain his love, no matter the cost.

"Jiang Xuemei, you're truly scheming." General Liu's voice was deep and powerful, filled with unquestionable authority. "To get me, you actually wanted to kill my wife and inherit my fortune? You're way too confident."

He sneered, his eyes revealing contempt for the woman's plan. "Everything you've done is nothing more than a pipe dream. My Liu family's fortune is a legacy accumulated over generations. It will only belong to my wife and children. It will never fall into the hands of a vicious woman like you."

General Liu's resolve was as firm as steel. He continued, "If you think your clever tricks can shake the foundation of our Liu family, you are gravely mistaken. I will use all my strength to protect my family and show you that true loyalty and love cannot be achieved through schemes and trickery." His words, like a vow, echoed in the silent night, demonstrating his steadfastness and commitment as the head of the family. Then, a fatal blow.

Jiang's schemes run deep, her murderous hands never resting. Amidst her numerous plots, she secretly hatched an even more sinister plan. Knowing the Liu family's prominent position within the imperial court, she plotted to exploit this, colluding with ministers disaffected by the Liu family's influence and attempting to unleash a political upheaval. Jiang's plan was to secretly gather evidence against the Liu family, specifically military missteps or private misconduct. She would then use these ministers to impeach General Liu at court, destabilizing his position within the government and potentially leading to the tragic execution of the entire Liu family.

Furthermore, Jiang had an even more diabolical plan in mind. She learned that a distant relative of General Liu had been exiled to the frontier for a serious crime, and he harbored a deep resentment and a grudge against the Liu family. Jiang planned to secretly fund this relative's return to the capital, cultivating a loyal faction. When the time was right, she would launch a rebellion and bring the Liu family to ruin. All of this was part of Jiang's meticulous planning, and every move was designed to completely destroy the Liu family and achieve her sinister ambitions.

As night fell, Jiang sat in a dimly lit room, an exquisite map and a densely packed stack of documents before her. Her eyes were focused and cold, and she quickly sketched out her next plan on a piece of parchment.

Step One: Infiltrate the Inner Courtyard

Jiang knew that the inner court of the Liu family was the core of power, so she decided to implement her plan through a newly purchased maid. This maid was actually a spy carefully trained by Jiang, who would be placed next to General Liu's wife, responsible for transmitting information and collecting secrets within the Liu family.

Step 2: Fabricate evidence

Jiang's men had successfully copied General Liu's seal and handwriting. She planned to forge a letter alleging collusion between General Liu and the rebels on the border, as well as falsified account books showing that the Liu family had embezzled military funds from the imperial court. These fabricated evidence would be secretly placed in the Liu family's study, awaiting the right moment for "accidental" discovery.

Step 3: Sow discord

Jiang will use her spies in the Liu family to spread rumors about the unfilial and incompetent children of General Liu's wife, while exaggerating the talents and loyalty of her own children. Her goal is to sow discord among the elders and clansmen of the Liu family and create conditions for her children to ascend to the throne.

Step 4: Instigating external pressure

Jiang has reached an agreement with a minister who harbors dissatisfaction with the Liu family. At the next court meeting, she will use this minister to raise questions about General Liu and expose the Liu family's "crimes." This will force the emperor to investigate the Liu family, thereby putting political pressure on them.

Jiang's next move will be to put these plans into action. She will carefully manipulate every link to ensure that every step develops as she intended. Once the action begins, the Liu family will be plunged into an unprecedented crisis.

Liu Yunrou, dressed in the empress's attire, hurried back to the Liu family, a subtle worry on her face. Upon seeing Ye Chenxuan, she disregarded court etiquette and spoke anxiously, "Your Majesty, Jiang Shi refuses to give up. She is incredibly ambitious and has always sought to gain my father's affections. Even more terrifying, she even plotted to harm my mother, my sisters, and my brothers. Her methods are cruel, and her intentions are sinister. I fear for the safety of our family."

Ye Chenxuan, as the emperor, maintained a calm expression, though a cold glint flickered in his eyes. He responded in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Empress. I've heard all about Jiang's actions. If she dares to attack the Liu family, she will be my enemy. I will immediately order increased protection for the Liu family and dispatch an investigation into Jiang's every move. I will not allow anyone to harm my beloved wife and family. If Jiang continues to persist in her wrongdoings, I will make her pay the price." His words revealed the majesty and decisiveness of an emperor, as well as his deep affection for Liu Yunrou and the Liu family.

Liu Yunrou looked at Ye Chenxuan, her eyes flashing with uncertainty, and her tone was filled with a hint of worry and expectation: "Really, Your Majesty? Can you ensure that everything will be safe? I'm always worried that such a storm will bring us unpredictable disasters." Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if the worries in her heart could not be completely let go.

Seeing Liu Yunrou's worry, Ye Chenxuan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He walked forward, gently held her hand, his eyes firm and gentle: "Yunrou, I am the emperor, and it is my responsibility to protect the country and my family. I promise you that I will use all my strength to protect you and the Liu family. Nothing will happen, you just need to rest assured." His words were like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, making Liu Yunrou feel a little relieved. Her mood gradually calmed down, and she was full of trust in Ye Chenxuan's promise.

The Liu family's defense measures are strict and comprehensive, like an invisible net that protects every member of the family.

The gate of the mansion was forged from fine iron, weighing a thousand pounds, and requiring only the strongest to move it. On either side of the gate, a team of sturdy servants took turns guarding. Their eyes were like hawks, constantly alert to any movement around them. Any suspicious individual would be prevented from setting foot inside the Liu residence without strict scrutiny.

The courtyard walls were high, their tops covered with sharp thorns to prevent anyone from climbing. Inside the walls, a moat surrounded the house. The water was clear but bottomless. Occasionally, patrol boats could be seen on the river, their servants armed with spears, on high alert.

Inside the mansion, secret sentries are posted at various strategic locations. These sentries are loyal warriors carefully trained by the Liu family. They are good at concealing their presence and can respond quickly if there is any unusual movement.

The Liu family's internal defense should not be underestimated. Each room is equipped with emergency defense tools, such as daggers in secret compartments, mechanical arrows on the walls, and escape passages designed specifically for family members.

In addition, the Liu family also has close ties with the imperial court's Jinyiwei, and in the event of an emergency, they can quickly obtain official support and assistance.

In daily life, members of the Liu family are also strictly required to abide by a series of safety regulations, such as not going out alone, not walking around at night, and verifying the identities of all visitors, etc., ensuring that the Liu family can maintain a stable security situation in a crisis-ridden environment.
