Chapter 570: Jiang Xiru seizes power in the Duke's Mansion

Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly, now feeling sorry for her daughter.

When it comes to interests, doesn’t Jiang Xiru just give up when she says she will?

"Why don't we try and see what Jiang Xiru would do if you recovered."

Jiang Ningwan took out a pen and paper and wrote out a prescription. "This prescription can make you look lively for a short time, but it can only maintain the appearance, but it won't make your condition better."

"We can see whether Jiang Xiru is happy or disappointed after you recover."

Jiang Bingde hesitated, "Xiru probably wouldn't..."

Jiang Ningwan stood up and said, "Whether you want to try it or not is up to you. I'm only doing this for Renyan. If she really attacks Renyan, do you think he can survive after you die?"

Given Jiang Xiru's ruthlessness, he would definitely not leave any one alive.

Although the Duke's Mansion has so many guards, they may not be able to defend against Jiang Xiru.

Jiang Ningwan then left.

Jiang Bingde looked at the prescription on the table and fell into deep thought.

Thinking of Renyan, Jiang Bingde still used the prescription. After taking the medicine the next day, Jiang Bingde's spirits improved within two days.

His face is rosy and he looks energetic.

Jiang Xiru felt a little flustered when she saw this. "Dad, you look much better lately. Did you take any medicine?"

Jiang Bingde said with a smile: "The imperial physician prescribed a few prescriptions, which are quite effective."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru smiled and said, "I'm relieved now that Dad is getting better. I've been studying medical books these days, thinking that I should do something for my family if I stay at home. If I learn medical skills, I can prescribe medicine for anyone at home who has a headache or fever."

Jiang Bingde smiled gratifiedly and said, "It's great that you have this intention. Medicine is difficult to learn, so don't make it difficult for yourself."

It seems that he is overthinking.

After lunch, Jiang Xiru personally brought the medicine, "Dad, I brought you the medicine cooked in the kitchen."

Jiang Bingde fell asleep after taking the medicine.

In the evening, Fang Yunxin woke him up, "Duke, why did you sleep for so long? I came to see you several times this afternoon, but I couldn't wake you up."

"Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?" Fang Yunxin didn't know what medicine Jiang Ningwan prescribed. She only knew that Jiang Bingde's complexion had improved a few days ago, but now it had deteriorated again.

Jiang Bingde was about to speak when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This scene scared Fang Yunxin.

Just then the door was pushed open and Jiang Xiru rushed in, exclaiming anxiously: "Dad! Dad, what's wrong with you!"

Jiang Bingde felt dizzy and fainted after vomiting blood.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiru looked at Fang Yunxin angrily, "It's you!"

"You're the one who harmed my father!"

"Someone, come! Madam is trying to murder the Duke. Arrest her immediately and lock her up in the woodshed!"

Hearing this, Fang Yunxin was extremely shocked, "Stop slandering me!"

Jiang Xiru's eyes were sharp, "I saw it with my own eyes, you are the one who killed my father!"

Soon, the guards rushed over and grabbed Fang Yunxin without saying a word.

Fang Yunxin struggled, "How dare you! I'm the Duke's wife, don't you know who you should listen to? The Duke has been harmed, the most urgent thing is to call the imperial physician!"

Jiang Xiru's eyes were cold, "Still trying to quibble! Take him away!"

Soon, the guards covered Fang Yunxin's mouth and dragged her away forcibly.

Seeing this from outside, Qi felt uneasy and hurried forward, "Xiru, what do you want to do by arresting her? You should first call an imperial physician for your father."

Jiang Xiru held Qi's shoulders and said, "Mother, we have come this far. There is no turning back!"

"If Dad wakes up and finds Fang Yunxin dead, and if he finds that many of the guards in this mansion have been replaced by our men, he will definitely kill you and me!"

"Either they die today, or we, mother and daughter, will die tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Qi was horrified. She really intended to leave no one behind...

This is too cruel.

Looking at the Duke lying unconscious on the bed, Qi was in a state of confusion, not knowing whether she should stop Jiang Xiru.

If the Duke is dead, there must be someone investigating the cause of death. Can it be so easily deceived?

Who can bear the charge of poisoning the Duke?

Jiang Xiru saw her concerns and said calmly, "Don't worry. Once we take control of the Duke's Mansion, everyone in the mansion will have to listen to us on what they should and shouldn't say."

"Just fabricate some evidence and put the blame on Fang Yunxin for Dad's death."

"Leave Jiang Renyan alone. Even if he wants to survive, he has to obey you and me."

Since she made this decision, she has thought of a foolproof plan.

Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed. We must take action when the new emperor ascends the throne and the political situation is not yet completely stable. The emperor will not be able to devote too much attention to dealing with this matter.

After Jiang Xiru finished speaking, he went to the woodshed.

Only a small number of the guards in this mansion are her people. Tonight, she found an excuse to transfer some of the guards to the front yard, and she wanted to take action before alerting the other guards.

Kill Fang Yunxin.

Only in this mansion can people listen to her.

At this moment, Fang Yunxin had been locked in the woodshed, with her hands tied and her mouth stuffed with rags, so she could only make whimpering sounds.

Jiang Xiru closed the door and slowly walked towards her.

Fang Yunxin stepped back nervously.

"My father treats you so well. With your background, you are able to manage the family. He values ​​you so much that even my mother and I are not as good as you."

"You poisoned his medicine, killing him, and wanted to take over the Duke's Mansion for yourself."

"You have such a vicious heart!"

Fang Yunxin was extremely angry. She wanted to speak but couldn't. She could only glare at Jiang Xiru angrily.

Jiang Xiru's eyes were cold, and she said quietly, "Tomorrow morning, they will find your body. After being found guilty of murdering the Duke, you will commit suicide out of fear of punishment."

As she spoke, Jiang Xiru picked up a piece of white silk.

To wrap around Fang Yunxin's neck.

Fang Yunxin struggled violently, escaped nimbly, and slammed the door hard, but at this time Jiang Xiru behind her strangled her neck with a white silk scarf.

A strong feeling of suffocation came over her, her veins popped out and her eyes became bloodshot.

boom--

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

The door of the woodshed was kicked open with great force.

The two people behind the door were knocked away and fell onto the haystack.

Fang Yunxin quickly propped herself up and sat up. When she looked up and saw Jiang Ningwan, her heart finally settled down and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xiru's face turned ugly and she roared, "Who told you to come? Who allowed you to come so late?"

Jiang Ningwan stepped forward slowly, "If I hadn't come, how many people would you have killed?"

"This Duke's Mansion is not something you can just occupy!"

After saying that, she grabbed Jiang Xiru's shoulders and dragged her out of the woodshed.

"You murdered your own father and intended to kill Fang Yunxin. Just wait for Duke Jiang to deal with you personally!"

"Somebody come!"

The people who responded were not guards from the palace, but guards from the Prince of Chu's palace.

Jiang Xiru's face turned pale and she began to struggle. "Jiang Ningwan, you're the one who killed my father. You're the one who wanted to monopolize the Duke's Mansion. You framed me!"

She started to cry out, but was soon bound, gagged, and thrown into the woodshed.

After Fang Yunxin untied it, her wrist hurt a lot.

He walked out quickly, "Ning Wan, luckily you came in time! Otherwise I would..."

Fang Yunxin's voice choked with sobs, and she felt a surge of fear.
