I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Soon, Jiang Yao was brought out with a bewildered look on her face.

The first thing she did when she came out was to hide behind Wen Qingzhi, and then she said, "Azhi, what happened?"

Wen Qingzhi turned sideways, showing her out, and said coldly, "Sister-in-law, people from Zhentian Prefecture came and said that you poisoned the food donated to the refugees?"

"what?"

Jiang Yao's pupils trembled as she looked at Wen Qingzhi and shook her head repeatedly, "No! How could I!"

She was at a loss as to what to do. She quickly came over and tugged at Wen Qingzhi's sleeve, "Azhi, you have to trust your sister-in-law! You know who your sister-in-law is best, don't you? I can't bear to kill even an ant, so how could I poison someone!"

"Azhi, you have to trust your sister-in-law!"

Wen Qingzhi dodged again, with an innocent look in her eyes, shaking her head and saying, "Sister-in-law, I don't trust you to solve this matter."

She stared intently and asked, "Lord Han Shuo said that the incident happened at the Jiang family's charity shop. But the rice came from our Zhenguo Marquis Mansion... I hope my sister-in-law can give me an explanation."

"Didn't my sister-in-law say at the time that she wanted the Marquisate to rise again, and that she needed to rescue the refugees at all costs? To that end, I gave you all the food in the Marquisate. I'd rather starve myself than not fulfill your wish."

"But why did the rice end up in the hands of the Jiang family?"

She approached Jiang Yao, her eyes gradually colder. "Sister-in-law, could it be that you lied to me before? Instead of using the Marquis's grain to provide disaster relief, you gave all the food rations in the Marquis's mansion to the Jiang family?"

Wen Qingzhi's eyes were filled with confusion and sadness. She couldn't believe it. "Sister-in-law, you said at the beginning that you wanted to restore the Marquis' Mansion to its former glory... What are you doing now?"

"He took all the food from the Marquis' Mansion to save face for the Jiang family. But he failed to save face, and now he wants the Marquis' Mansion to take the blame when something goes wrong?"

"Ha ha……"

Wen Qingzhi covered her chest, took a step back, and looked sad.

She slowly shook her head, a wry smile spreading across the corners of her mouth, "So... So I'm just making wedding dresses for others."

"No, no...it's not like that!"

Jiang Yao wanted to explain, but she couldn't find the words. She stood there in panic, looking around, hoping to see Jiang Nian and ask her to come out and explain everything to her.

But she searched for a long time in the crowd and couldn't find Jiang Nian.

"Master Han Shuo, this is what happened. The incident happened to the Jiang family and has nothing to do with our Marquisate. Similarly, the Marquisate was also the one that was deceived..."

Wen Qingzhi looked at Han Shuo and said, "Master Han Shuo, please take my sister-in-law back to Zhentian Mansion for questioning."

"No!"

Jiang Yao was terrified. She stepped forward and grabbed Wen Qingzhi's sleeve. "Azhi, you can't, you can't let me go to Zhentian Prefecture! Zhentian Prefecture is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones! I, I am Xiao Shitou's mother. If I go to Zhentian Prefecture, how will you let Xiao Shitou survive in the future?"

Her eyes were filled with panic. "Zhentian Mansion is full of men, how can I go? If I go, my reputation will be ruined! Xiao Shitou is the heir of the Marquisate. If his mother's reputation is ruined, what will he do?"

"What does sister-in-law mean? Should I go?"

Wen Qingzhi lowered her voice, and the music was filled with anger.

Jiang Yao was startled, her eyes dazed for a few moments before she said, "You and the prefect of Zhentian Prefecture are childhood sweethearts. If you go, they won't make things difficult for you!"

After hearing Jiang Yao's words, Wen Qingzhi's expression became even colder.

She looked at Jiang Yao quietly and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this your idea? If so, you go. If not, let Jiang Nian go."

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and looked at Han Shuo, "Master Han Shuo, the matter is clear now."

"My sister-in-law and her sisters from her mother's family deceived me and secretly took all the food rations from the Marquis' Mansion and handed them over to the Jiang family. The Jiang family has always been at odds with our Marquis' Mansion. Perhaps this poisoning incident was also intentional by the Jiang family."

"Lord Han Shuo, please handle this impartially. We'll handle it as it should be. As for... the remaining food, I hope Zhentian Prefecture can help the Marquisate and get it all back."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yao and said, "I, Wen Qingzhi, will not do such a thing as making wedding dresses for others."

After she finished speaking, she snorted coldly and left in a huff.

"Azhi! Azhi!!"

Jiang Yao wanted to go over and pull Wen Qingzhi back, but was suppressed by Han Shuo's men.

Han Shuo said coldly, "Miss Jiang, do you want to go with us, or call your sister?"

They knew almost everything about the Marquis' Mansion, and naturally knew Jiang Yao's sister Jiang Nian.

Others might not know who Jiang Nian was. For someone in Zhentian Prefecture, knowing all the officials was a piece of cake, so how could they not know Jiang Nian's background?

"No, I won't go...I won't go!"

Jiang Yao was timid to begin with, and had never encountered such a scene before. She was so frightened that she shouted loudly, "I won't go."

How could Han Shuo let her escape?

Not only did they send people to take her away, they also went to the small gate and dragged Jiang Nian out.

After the two were taken away, Han Shuo sent someone to tell Wen Qingzhi in a thoughtful manner.

Wen Qingzhi smiled calmly, waved her hand and continued to watch the show, "Remember to tell your master Han Shuo to help me send back all the food they sent to the Jiang family. Also, borrow some food from his master."

If these grains are to be used for disaster relief, they must be delivered to the mouths of refugees.

In order to show that they are living a miserable life now, they have no choice but to resort to this last resort.

The man visibly trembled, said "yes" awkwardly, and then left.

After everyone left, Wen Qingzhi smiled bitterly, shook her head, and asked Chunyu, "How's Xiao Shitou doing?"

Chunyu said, "The young master is crying and wants to see the young lady... Chunlu is trying to comfort him."

Wen Qingzhi nodded, "If you can coax her, then coax her. If you can't, then send her to the Jiang family."

"Send it to the Jiang family?"

The spring rain is unclear.

"Doesn't Jiang Yao think the Jiang family is good? She's using everything in the Marquisate to help the Jiang family. Let her see if the Jiang family will treat Little Stone well."

"But……"

Chunyu hesitated and said, "If I send the young master to the Jiang family, I'm afraid the misunderstanding between you and the young lady will become deeper..."

"so what?"

Wen Qingzhi's eyebrows and eyes turned cold.

"I hate betrayal. Especially—"

She paused, "After I gave my heart to you, you chose to betray me."

Everyone present could understand what Wen Qingzhi did. In their opinion, Wen Qingzhi did this just to protect herself, not for revenge.

"Azhi did the right thing."

Zheng Lin said, "Even if it were me, I would do the same."

He gave Wen Qingzhi an affirmative look and said, "This time, it was the Young Madam who was wrong. How can you blame Ah Zhi?"

"If this incident hadn't happened, I'm afraid we would never know until we die that she took all the food in the Marquis' Mansion to make wedding clothes for her own family."

Zheng Lin felt distressed and looked at Wen Qingzhi, "Azhi, you don't have to be angry. Since it has been handed over to Zhentian Mansion, let them judge it."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care about that."

Wen Qingzhi looked up and called Chunyu to let the troupe continue, "After it's over, give them a reward of ten taels of silver each."

"Yes."

When the troupe heard her words, they all smiled sincerely, "Thank you Miss Wen for the reward!"

Wen Qingzhi became cheerful and waved at them, "Go on."

When the opera started, everyone was attracted to it, except Wang Yi who was sitting in the back.

He was extremely worried about Jiang Nian, and when he heard that Jiang Nian had also been taken away, he completely lost interest in watching the show.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally spoke.

He said, "Master, the young lady and Miss Jiang are women after all. How can they stay in Zhentian Mansion? How will you let them live in the future and face the world?"

His voice was so loud that it instantly stunned the people who were singing.

They looked at Wen Qingzhi, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping, they continued singing.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chang Baicao was almost pissed to death by him.

"If they don't solve their own problems themselves, who should they let solve them?"

Chang Baicao turned around and glared at Wang Yi, "Mind your own business, sit down and watch the show!"
