Chapter 122 Jiang Gaoyuan's quick thinking
The people at the Imperial Master's Mansion moved quickly. As soon as Jiang Wansang got on the carriage, the stoves and chairs were all put away.
The guards packed up and left, but Zhou Zhi walked back from the carriage.
Seeing this scene, the people who had originally thought there was nothing exciting to watch and were about to leave gathered around again.
Jiang Gaoyuan's already ugly expression became even uglier, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Zhou Zhi walked up to him and bowed to him. His movements were polite but not at all respectful.
"Master Prime Minister, my master has sent me to ask, since the Prime Minister's Mansion has caused my master's savior to suffer such a great injustice, should there be some compensation?"
Jiang Gaoyuan was confused.
The people around were also confused.
What made them even more confused was Zhou Zhi's next words: "I heard that the Prime Minister has always loved collecting antique calligraphy and paintings, such as the Five Oxen Painting, the Pingfu Postscript, the Pearl Relic Tower, the Ding Kiln Child Pillow..."
Zhou Zhi listed several rare treasures in a row, and finally asked quietly, "I believe that in the Prime Minister's heart, my master's savior is worthy of these vulgar things, right?"
Any item he picked out would be a treasure that countless people would fight for, but in his mouth it became a "vulgar thing".
Jiang Gaoyuan couldn't hold it in any longer and his face turned green.
The others were also shocked and didn't know what to say for a long time.
They really didn't expect that the dignified National Master would have such a...moment.
Everyone didn't know how to describe it. They looked at each other, touched their noses awkwardly and lowered their heads.
If you say he has shame, his behavior is no different from asking for something; if you say he doesn't want it, he even gave the power of "whether to give it or not" to the Prime Minister instead of directly snatching it away.
Everyone had a new understanding of the aloof, noble and unattainable Master Pei, but they didn't know that this matter was not arranged by Pei Zhanzhou at all. Even the rare treasures mentioned were added by Zhou Zhi himself.
After saying this, Zhou Zhi didn't care about Jiang Gaoyuan's reaction. He bowed and turned to leave, leaving behind a group of people who were watching the excitement and had not yet reacted, and Jiang Gaoyuan with a grim face.
"Uuuuuu——"
In the silence, a whimpering sound attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone then remembered that the culprit, Nanny Li and her son, were still tied up and pressed to the ground, their faces pale, perhaps from fear or cold.
Jiang Gaoyuan came to his senses and signaled to the servants behind him. Immediately, a sensible person came forward to untie the mother and child.
As soon as the cloth on her mouth was untied, Nanny Li spoke excitedly: "Master, this is unfair, this is none of our business, we..."
"You mean to say that the Imperial Master has wronged you?" Jiang Gaoyuan interrupted her with a stern shout, "You and your son have served in my residence for many years. I have long considered you half members of the Jiang family, but you..."
He looked disappointed and looked at the two of them with eyes full of heartache.
Nanny Li and her son were speechless, and no one dared to speak in response.
The Jiang family did treat them, mother and son, very well, but that was because they had devoted themselves to serving the Jiang family for most of their lives and had secretly helped do many shady things. That was what they deserved.
As for what Jiang Gaoyuan said about treating them as half Jiang family members...
They are not fools. They know very well whether their masters treat them as slaves or family members.
These words were only spoken in the hearts of the mother and son. In front of Jiang Gaoyuan, with so many people watching, they naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say them out loud.
Jiang Gaoyuan dared to say this because he knew this, but at the same time, other thoughts arose in his mind.
He glanced around and suddenly sighed heavily. "Even though Wansang had your hand cut off over such a trivial matter, I still don't want to believe that you and your son would deliberately spread rumors to slander her because of such personal grudges. But since the Imperial Master has personally tied you up, I can't help but believe it."
With just one simple sentence, she not only distanced herself from the matter, but also revealed that Jiang Wansang cut off someone's palm over a trivial matter, giving her a reputation of being petty and vicious.
The people who were closer naturally saw Nanny Li's mutilated hand and felt a little more concerned about Jiang Gaoyuan's words. Perhaps soon, Imperial Instructor Pei would also be accused of "indiscriminately favoring one side."
Nanny Li had worked for the Jiang family for so many years that she realized the situation almost instantly and cried out in injustice, "Master, please investigate! Although the young lady cut my hand, it was my own fault for spilling tea on her clothes. However, I will never bear a grudge against her for this and spread rumors, thus damaging the reputation of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. It must be...it must be someone who framed me. Please investigate!"
As early as when she heard the rumors outside, Nanny Li knew that it must be her son who ruined the matter, but the thing had already happened, and no matter how angry she was, she could only find a way to get out of it.
Last night she received a message from her son saying that something unexpected had happened and asked her to go back to help find a solution.
As a result, she was arrested by Pei Guoshi's men as soon as she entered the house, and was tied up and sent to the prime minister's residence this morning.
Even though she was kneeling there without saying anything, she was thinking of a solution in her mind.
So when she heard Jiang Gaoyuan's words just now, she quickly cooperated and tried to shirk responsibility.
What Jiang Gaoyuan was most satisfied with was Nanny Li's understanding, otherwise he would not have killed all the people who knew about the incident and left only her.
He had a distorted and ugly expression just now, but now he controlled his expression and put on his usual mask of humility and friendliness again.
"From a selfish point of view, I naturally want to believe you, but the Imperial Preceptor said that this was done by you and your son..." He shook his head and sighed, "You should leave the Prime Minister's Residence for the time being. I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. If you are truly wronged, I will personally come to your house and explain it clearly to the Imperial Preceptor."
Hearing this, Nanny Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the master doesn't give up on them, mother and son, this matter will be much easier.
Nanny Li hurriedly left with her son, who was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word, and kowtowed in gratitude.
Without the excitement, the people around naturally dispersed, but what happened in front of the prime minister's residence today spread in the imperial city at the fastest speed.
At the same time, what happened after Pei Zhanzhou and others left also reached Jiang Wansang's ears.
"Oh, you really deserve to be the Prime Minister." Jiang Wansang's tone was sarcastic, but there was no panic on his face as if he had been splashed with dirty water.
She turned to look at the calm figure sitting in the carriage, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Master Imperial Master should have guessed this would happen a long time ago, right?"
Although Pei Zhanzhou's main purpose today was to help her clarify the recent rumors and get rid of that disgusting engagement, with his brain, he would definitely not leave such a big loophole for Jiang Gaoyuan to exploit.
Pei Zhanzhou raised his eyes slightly, "Guess what Jiang Gaoyuan will do next?"
