Jiang Wansang walked all the way to Jiang Xiaodie's yard without any obstruction. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jiang Xiaodie lying on the bed drinking medicine.

The person feeding her medicine was Jiang Xiaodie's biological mother, Jiang Erbo's concubine - Aunt Zhao.

Jiang Xiaodie seemed to be in a good mood, smiling even as she drank the bitter medicine. However, when she saw Jiang Wansang appear, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Wansang did not miss the confused and sad look on Aunt Zhao's face when he came in just now, and he understood what was going on in an instant.

I'm afraid that all the news outside has been concealed by Aunt Zhao, and Jiang Xiaodie still knows nothing!

Jiang Wansang walked in with a smile, "Of course I came to see how my cousin's injury is healing."

Seeing her coming, Aunt Zhao immediately put down the bowl in her hand and stood up to block her. "Die'er just took medicine and needs to rest. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

It was obvious that he was worried that Jiang Wansang had said something he shouldn't have.

But Jiang Wansang's purpose of coming here was to let Jiang Xiaodie "know the truth", so of course she would not leave.

She turned slightly to the side and looked at Jiang Xiaodie past Aunt Zhao. "I heard that my younger sister treated my cousin's injuries. Didn't she ever hire another doctor?"

Facing her "concern", Jiang Xiaodie just tilted her head slightly while lying on the bed. "Second cousin is a good doctor, so we don't need another one. I need to rest, so I won't greet eldest cousin."

Jiang Wansang seemed oblivious to her obvious attempt to drive him away and continued, "Judging from your complexion, Jiang Zihan's medical skills are indeed quite good. He was able to recover so quickly even from the poison. I'm sure there were no aftereffects on you, right?"

She had a concerned expression on her face, but what she said made Aunt Zhao and Jiang Xiaodie change their expressions.

"Poisoned? What do you mean by poisoned?" Aunt Zhao grabbed Jiang Wansang's arm. "Miss, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Wansang could feel the strength in her hands, but she didn't break free. Surprised, she asked, "Aunt Zhao doesn't know? My sister is such a skilled doctor, didn't she tell me that my cousin's coma wasn't just due to her injuries, but also because she was poisoned?"

Aunt Zhao looked confused, obviously she had never heard of this.

She turned to look at Jiang Xiaodie, who also had an expression of ignorance on her face.

But she chose not to believe Jiang Wansang's one-sided story and glared at her, "You're talking nonsense! If I were poisoned, how could I not know it?"

Having said that, her eyes were clearly still filled with doubt.

Jiang Wansang shrugged nonchalantly, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, wouldn't you know if you consult a skilled doctor?"

She pulled her arm out of Aunt Zhao's grasp and looked at Jiang Xiaodie with a gloomy expression. "I heard that when Jiang Zihan was catching the criminal, my cousin was right next to him. But my cousin was seriously injured and poisoned, while Jiang Zihan was fine. Didn't my cousin have any suspicions?"

Jiang Xiaodie's face looked very bad. Besides the sickly paleness, there was also some anger after guessing some truth.

She suddenly remembered the night when Jiang Zihan pushed her towards the knife of the "criminal". When her sleeve brushed against her cheek, something seemed to be thrown out.

The situation was urgent at the time and she had no time to think about it. After she woke up from her coma, Jiang Zihan took the initiative to apologize to her, saying that he did not mean to push her, and also promised her many benefits.

Although Jiang Xiaodie was injured, her brain was not damaged. She knew very well how much benefit would come from following Jiang Zihan's words, so she agreed immediately and also asked for half of the credit for catching the criminal.

When she heard Jiang Zihan agree, she just felt happy, and it seemed that even the wound didn't hurt so much anymore. But now thinking about it carefully, she agreed too easily.

Jiang Wansang didn't know the details, but looking at Jiang Xiaodie's expression, she knew that her words had been heard.

Seeing this, she mentioned another piece of news: "It's spreading outside..."

"Miss!"

Aunt Zhao instantly guessed what she was going to say and quickly spoke to stop her, even her voice breaking from shouting so excitedly.

Jiang Xiaodie wasn't blind; she knew her biological mother very well. She immediately had a bad feeling in her heart, "Did something happen?"

"No...nothing."

Aunt Zhao denied it with a stiff expression, and reached out to grab Jiang Wansang's arm again, trying to pull him out, but Jiang Wansang stood there without moving.

"Didn't Aunt Zhao tell my cousin? Such a big thing happened, how long could Aunt Zhao hide it from my cousin?"

No matter how hard Aunt Zhao tried, she remained motionless and slowly told the story, "The real criminal has been caught. The rumor is that my cousin hired someone to impersonate the criminal, but ended up losing more than she gained. Not only was she seriously injured and nearly died, but she also turned against her husband, causing Second Miss Jiang to be imprisoned in the Dali Temple..."

She briefly and concisely recounted the recent rumors so quickly that Aunt Zhao had no time to stop her.

Jiang Xiaodie lay on the bed, so shocked that she didn't react for a long time.

What did she mean by "the real criminal has been caught"? What did she mean by "she paid someone to pretend to be a criminal"? What did she mean by "she turned against her benefactor and caused Jiang Zihan to be imprisoned in the Dali Temple"?

Aunt Zhao looked at her daughter's face, which was even paler than before, and felt both panicked and distressed. Then she looked at Jiang Wansang with a look of resentment that she could not hide.

"Miss, don't talk nonsense about things that don't exist. Die'er was seriously injured and needs to rest!"

As she pulled Jiang Wansang towards the door, she looked at her with a pleading expression, looking like a helpless and pitiful mother.

But Jiang Wansang didn't move even half a step, and looked at her with a cold gaze.

The original owner had a good relationship with Jiang Xiaodie in the past, so he had a lot of contact with the concubine from the second house.

The original owner was not favored by Jiang Gaoyuan and his wife, so Aunt Zhao gave her motherly love in private.

It would be fine if she really treated the original owner as her daughter, but apart from often repeating "I wish you were my daughter" in the original owner's ear, she never even gave the original owner a steamed bun. Instead, she took a lot of good things from the original owner through Jiang Xiaodie.

So, seeing Aunt Zhao's expression at the moment, Jiang Wansang showed no mercy and gave her another blow. "Aunt Zhao probably doesn't know that these rumors have already reached the ears of the Emperor, who even asked about Second Uncle in the court today."

She spoke softly, her voice cruel yet clear, "Second uncle has already confessed his guilt to the emperor. He also said that he would personally send my cousin to the Dali Temple upon his return from court. He will accept any punishment the Dali Temple imposes."

"You...what did you say?"

Aunt Zhao's eyes widened in shock, and she looked as if she was hallucinating.

Uncle Jiang is a playboy and loves beautiful women, but Liu is powerful, so he only has one wife and two concubines in the backyard, and Aunt Zhao is the most favored of the three women.

But she never expected that Uncle Jiang would dispose of their daughter without even asking a single question.

Jiang Wansang had no interest in explaining further. Glancing at Jiang Xiaodie, who lay in bed seemingly still unaware, she kindly reminded him, "I believe my cousin is innocent, but that fake criminal is dead. Without evidence, how can we know who sent him?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaodie's confused and shocked eyes gradually clear up, and then reveal an expression of sudden enlightenment, Jiang Wansang knew that she had an idea.

Next, it depends on how she clears herself of the charges.
