Chapter 342: Seventh Sister’s Plan
Jiang Ning laughed wildly with her arms around her thigh for a while. After calming down, she took the teacup from Huang Ying and said, “What’s the big deal about being grounded for half a year? The stripped-off position can still be restored.”
Jiang Yi looked at her, “That’s not enough?”
“Brother, are you so lenient with those who bully your sister?”
“Of course not, I’m just thinking that a cornered dog will jump over walls, let alone him being a Crown Prince.”
“Soon, he won’t be the Crown Prince.”
“What?”
“Now that he’s grounded, isn’t it easier to deal with him?” Jiang Ning smiled, “If I don’t let him become the Crown Prince, he definitely won’t succeed.”
Jiang Yi:”…”
Where did this girl’s confidence come from?
Although he couldn’t quite figure it out, Jiang Yi still felt envious of her demeanor.
This was the look of a child from the Jiang Family, like the offspring of his uncle and father.
To be honest, if it were up to him, he couldn’t have calculated everything so precisely in this matter.
“Seventh Sister, I’ve always wanted to ask you something.”
“Go ahead, I’ll hold nothing back.”
“How did you know about the affair between Madam Wang and Zhang Wang? It was said that even people in their own families didn’t know. When Master Lu interrogated them, they all said they hadn’t told anyone.”
“Brother, once I tell you, you mustn’t tell anyone else.”
“Do I look like a fool to you?”
“A little bit.”
“You’re asking for a beating!” Jiang Yi pretended to pinch her face. “Go on, tell me.”
Jiang Ning put down the teacup and laughed, “Actually, it’s quite simple. A while ago, Aunt Fu went to buy vegetables and met a fellow who sold vegetables. His daughter was so ill that she was about to die, and Aunt Fu sympathized with him and gave him all the money for groceries. She told me about this.”
“Buying vegetables? And then?” Jiang Yi was patient, knowing that since his sister mentioned this, it must be related.
Jiang Ning smiled, “I thought it was a good deed, and since they were fellow villagers, it was our duty to help in times of need. So I complimented Aunt Fu and gave her some silver, telling her to send it.”
“And then?”
“That’s it, the sick girl happened to be Madam Wang’s personal maid, Xiaohuan.”
“…” Jiang Yi was speechless.
What luck!
“But that’s not right. I heard that during Master Lu’s questioning, Madam Wang said her maid died of illness.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “She was critically ill, and if Aunt Fu hadn’t provided the money for treatment, she would have really died. Xiaohuan was Madam Wang’s maid, and because she got seriously ill, she was driven out. Later, Xiaohuan’s mother went to Madam Wang, saying her child passed away and asked for a funeral fee. Of course, they didn’t give her.”
Jiang Yi laughed, “I guess Xiaohuan’s mother went to ask for money because you instigated her?”
“Of course not, I call it a suggestion.”
“You sly little thing,” Jiang Yi laughed. “So, Madam Wang’s affair was all told by Xiaohuan?”
“No, Xiaohuan told Aunt Fu, and Aunt Fu joked about it when she told me. At first, I didn’t care and just treated it as gossip. Until I decided to punish Li Jixian.”
“The Crown Prince deserves it, but won’t this implicate innocent people?”
“Brother, do you think that Madam Wang and Zhang Wang’s collusion is innocent?” Jiang Ning smiled ambiguously, “If in the future, my sister-in-law from the Zhang Family also…”
“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t say another word, you sneaky girl!”
“Hahaha.” Jiang Ning laughed, “One is a married woman, the other a married man, and their secret affair is not a huge crime. But what they have done is not limited to this..”
