As she spoke, she gently touched her chin, a smile flashing in her eyes: "Old Madam, why don't you think about it carefully, do you have any sisters? Maybe it's as the rumors say?"
Old Mrs. Guo’s whole body stiffened.
She also thought that the Chong'an Palace wanted to be on good terms with the Guo family.
But now it seems that Princess Chong'an came to the Guo family for that matter.
But isn’t that doctor an ordinary person?
How could he possibly know Princess Chong'an when he had lived in a slum like Xicheng for many years?
Old Mrs. Guo was unsure of Jiang Yun's intention and hesitated to speak.
Until Jiang Yun's voice sounded again.
"Things in this world are often complicated. Sometimes, the truth is often hidden in those seemingly insignificant rumors. What do you think, old lady?"
When Old Lady Guo heard this, she was startled. She knew very well that Princess Chong'an was no ordinary person. Now that things had come to this point, even if she avoided answering the question, it would be difficult for her to get past Princess Chong'an.
She might as well just admit it.
She looked up at her daughter-in-law and said, "Shu'er, please go back first. I want to talk to Princess Chong'an alone."
Zhao Shu nodded, stood up and walked out.
But after she walked out for a while, she quietly turned back and hid under the window to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
It wasn't that she wanted to eavesdrop.
But she was not very clear about what the princess said.
The coroner's initial diagnosis was that the death was from sudden cardiac arrest.
But later it turned out that the medicine I took was poisonous...
It's ridiculous!
She didn't even believe such a ridiculous explanation.
But her husband said that this was what the coroner's examination showed, and she should believe the evidence in front of her.
inside the house.
Old Lady Guo took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "It seems the princess has already investigated everything. She came to the mansion today to question me."
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Ask me about the crime? This princess doesn't have that right. I was just asked to rescue poor Doctor Du from prison."
Old Mrs. Guo narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Yun.
"What merits and abilities did Doctor Du have to deserve such concern from the princess?"
"He once prescribed several prescriptions for my mother."
"It's just a few prescriptions. Princess, do you want to offend our Guo family for him?" When saying this, Mrs. Guo's expression was terrifyingly sinister.
Jiang Yun curled her lips and smiled, "What? Is Madam Guo threatening this princess?"
Old Lady Guo's expression changed several times, and finally she said with a look of sorrow: "Even if I had a hundred times the courage, I would not dare to threaten the princess! But when I recall the past, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun just picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying a word.
Old Mrs. Guo gritted her teeth and had to continue talking.
"I did wrongly accuse Doctor Du. In truth, the young lady who died was accidentally beaten to death by my worthless nephew. I was protecting him, and fearing that if my nephew went to jail, the reputation of our Guo family would be damaged, so... I pinned the blame on the innocent Doctor Du."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded slightly, as if she was not surprised by Mrs. Guo's confession.
She took a sip from the teacup, her eyes deep, "Old Madam, you know that this action of yours not only harmed an innocent person, but also could plunge the Guo family into irreparable ruin at any time."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Guo shuddered, her face showing panic. "Princess, I...I know I was wrong. Please, Princess, have mercy on me."
Jiang Yun put down the teacup, her eyes stern. "Old Madam, you should understand that everything in this world has a cause and an effect. Your nephew has committed a serious crime and deserves due punishment. But in order to protect him, you let an innocent person take the blame..."
She paused and continued, "Do you know what is engraved on the stone tablet in front of Shuntian Mansion?"
Old Mrs. Guo blinked her sore eyes, moved her lips, but did not answer.
Jiang Yun said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Fairness and impartiality, a single word brings all people together. Following the law, everyone is equal. Regardless of relatives or strangers, high or low, everyone is judged according to the law!"
Old Mrs. Guo began to tremble all over, but she still couldn't utter a word.
At this time, Zhao Shu outside the window also understood the whole story.
She felt mixed emotions and was extremely disappointed with both Old Mrs. Guo and her husband.
Zhao Shu still remembers that two years ago, her uncle got drunk and accidentally went to the wrong house, and it happened that there was only a widow in that family.
Her uncle had clearly just slept in her yard for one night, but the widow had slandered him as an attempted rape...
At that time, she even begged her husband to investigate carefully and found that her uncle was definitely not that kind of person.
But what happened next?
Her uncle was still thrown into prison and suffered a lot. He was finally released after serving his sentence, but he had gone crazy when he was released.
At that time, her husband said that he should be fair and just, regardless of relationship.
But now, she finally understood!
Her husband made no distinction between close and distant relatives when it came to her family, but he did when it came to his own family...
What a great way to be friendly and attentive!!
Zhao Shu left in tears.
Jiang Yun knew from the beginning that someone was eavesdropping outside, but she was happy for Zhao Shu to hear it.
Because she specifically asked Zhufeng to investigate the Guo family.
Old Mrs. Guo is not friendly to her daughter-in-law Zhao Shu!
Especially the case of Zhao Shu's uncle Zhao Kang a few years ago. It wasn't an attempted rape at all, but a self-directed and self-acted case by the widow...
Zhao Kang didn't go to the wrong place because he was drunk. Instead, he was taken home by the widow who pretended to be his neighbor after he got drunk.
This matter can be found out if you investigate carefully.
But Guo Qing clearly found out, but he destroyed the evidence, making a mistake and wrongly accusing Zhao Kang.
Poor Zhao Kang was originally planning to take the imperial examination, but he was thrown into prison and tortured to death.
And all these years, Zhao Shu had been kept in the dark by the mother and son, working like a slave for them in the Guo family...
Jiang Yun's goal had been achieved. She stood up and said in a cold tone, "You can take care of yourselves. I have compiled the evidence and handed it to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
Gong Qi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was a man of the Prince of Chong'an, so Jiang Yun felt very relieved to let him handle this matter.
But when Mrs. Guo heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
She never thought that this matter would be discovered and become a sharp arrow to defeat their Guo family.
Jiang Yun opened the door and said to the maid guarding outside: "The old lady has fainted."
After saying that, she raised her foot and left the Guo family directly.
The maids quickly entered the hall, helped Old Lady Guo to the soft couch in the inner room, and then went to invite Guo Qinghe, the doctor, to come.
As soon as Guo Qing returned home, he hurried to see Old Lady Guo.
At this time, Mrs. Guo's condition had been stabilized by the doctor and she had woken up, but she was a little lethargic.
Guo Qing looked at the frail old lady Guo lying on the bed, and with tears in his eyes, he said, "Mother, I'm late! How are you feeling now?"
Old Lady Guo reached out and firmly grasped Guo Qing's hand, saying word by word, "Quick, quick, release Doctor Du."
