Jiang Mengyue was nervous inside, wringing her handkerchief tightly and looking ugly.
As long as Zhao and Zhao Xiaoshun are dealt with, that's it.
No one will ever know her secret.
She sent people from the Jianghu to intercept and kill Zhao, and they should be able to succeed soon.
Jiang Mengyue twisted the handkerchief, almost poking a hole. Her face was pale and ugly, and she was restless.
Something seemed to have happened outside. The servants were whispering among themselves, and they all poked their heads out to watch the excitement.
"I can't live anymore! Wuwu..."
"Second Miss, if you don't let us two live, why do you want to do something behind our back? Kill us right here at the gate of the Marquis Mansion!" Mrs. Zhao sat paralyzed at the door of the Marquis Mansion and cried.
When Zhao Xiaoshun saw his mother crying, he felt flustered and burst into tears.
"Mom, Mom!"
People coming and going on the roadside saw someone making trouble at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, and they all stopped to watch the excitement.
The scene of Mrs. Zhao crying bitterly, looking miserable, and pulling her child to cry attracted a group of people to watch.
The door of the Marquis Mansion opened, and Butler Jiang came out and shouted coldly, "Who dares to make trouble at the gate of the Marquis Mansion? Leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for going to the government without any information!"
Mrs. Zhao wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, retribution! I can't survive anyway. The second young lady wants the lives of our mother and son. No matter what, we will die, so it's better to die here!"
Butler Jiang frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you come from, a crazy woman!"
Zhao's hands kept shaking.
Although she was an ignorant village woman, she was not stupid. She was hacked to death as soon as she left the capital. It must have been the ruthless hand of the Second Miss Jiang.
How could they escape from the clutches of the daughter of the Marquis family? For people of high status, killing someone and silencing them is just a matter of words, and they don't even know how they died.
When Zhao was desperate, Yu Er showed her a clear path.
It's better to make this matter a big deal and make it known to everyone.
Let everyone in the capital know what Second Miss Jiang has done.
In this way, Second Miss Jiang would not dare to do anything. To preserve their reputation, the Marquis Mansion would also give them an explanation to ensure the safety of their mother and son.
If they die, the Marquis Mansion can't get out of this matter, and the Marquis Mansion will never do anything to hurt their own backs.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao immediately took Zhao Xiaoshun to the gate of the Marquis Residence to cause trouble, attracting people to watch. The more people watching the excitement, the better.
Butler Jiang frowned and waved his hand, "Hurry up and pull her down!"
"How dare you make trouble at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion? Send her to the government immediately!"
The guards came out, ready to take Zhao away.
Mrs. Zhao's body trembled, she glanced at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, closed her eyes tightly, "I can't survive, I'm going to die here today!" As she said that, she ran over and bumped her head against the gate.
The impact caused blood to flow from her forehead, which was very tragic.
Onlookers had already surrounded the door three levels inside and three outside. When they saw the woman knocking on the door and committing suicide, they were all gasping in shock.
"What's going on?"
"What happened? I heard that the Marquis's family forced the two of them to die..."
When Butler Jiang saw more and more people gathered around him, cold sweat broke out on his back. The reputation of the Marquis Mansion would be in jeopardy if things continued like this, so he immediately turned around and ran over to report it to the master and his wife.
Lord Jiang is currently discussing matters with the old lady in Qingxin Courtyard.
Hearing the butler's report, he frowned.
"What's going on? Why don't you send that crazy bitch away quickly?"
"Wait a minute," the old lady shouted, with a cold face, "You are making trouble outside, isn't it exciting enough? Bring the people in, inquire and send them away!"
The housekeeper immediately went to do it and brought in Zhao's mother and son.
Mr. Jiang went to see the situation.
The old lady also stood up, planning to go over and see who dared to make trouble in the Marquis Mansion.
Elsewhere, Madam Lin frowned after hearing what happened, "Mrs. Zhao?" This person sounded familiar.
In the yard, Mrs. Zhao was paralyzed on the ground, blood oozing from her forehead, and her face was ugly. Zhao Xiaoshun was so frightened that she cried loudly and pulled the corner of Mrs. Zhao's clothes.
"How courageous! Who dares to cause trouble!" Mr. Jiang shouted coldly.
When Mrs. Zhao saw the richly dressed master approaching, she immediately cried, "This woman is not here to cause trouble. We can't survive. The second young lady wants the lives of our mother and son. We almost died under the knife of the gangsters..."
"In that case, it would be better to crash to death at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, wuwu..."
Lord Jiang frowned, "Do you know where this is? Whose reputation are you slandering?"
"It's Miss Jiang. She wants the lives of our mother and son!" Mrs. Zhao risked her life. She almost died under the knife of the gangster. Miss Jiang is vicious. In this case, she will tell everything and let everyone see.
Lord Jiang's face turned cold when he heard that Jiang Mengyue was involved in the matter.
The housekeeper looked at Mrs. Zhao and felt vaguely familiar.
After looking at it for a while, he finally remembered, "Are you Mrs. Zhao...?"
Lord Jiang asked in a cold voice, "Who is she?"
The housekeeper replied, "Sir, this person is from Zhaojia Town, a relative of the second young lady's biological parents." When he said this, housekeeper Jiang was a little uneasy, not sure if it was appropriate to say this.
As soon as Lin came over, she heard these words.
Her eyes fell firmly on Zhao.
Is this person Zhao?
Her good daughter had suffered for more than ten years and was wasted at the hands of Mrs. Zhao. She could still remember that when Ning'er first entered the house, her hands were full of scars, and it took many days for the wounds to heal.
Mrs. Lin was shaking with anger and walked over, "It's you, the one who made my daughter suffer so much? What are you doing in the Marquis Mansion now!"
Zhao's body trembled and she looked up. When she saw the woman who still had a charming appearance, she suddenly thought of that girl A'ning. Their appearance was about 60-70% similar, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
Ms. Lin shouted angrily, "Okay, I didn't go looking for you, but you took the initiative to send yourself to my door!"
Zhao's hands trembled and she cried, "I didn't plan to go to Capital...it was the second lady! It was the second lady who asked us to come here! The second lady wants to kill us, mother and son..."
Lord Jiang couldn't help it anymore and shouted angrily, "Stop! Stop talking nonsense!"
"I didn't talk nonsense..." Ms. Zhao shook her head, "It was the second lady who gave us the money to go to Capital to slander A'ning, expose all the past affairs, and ruin that girl's reputation..."
Mrs. Zhao told everything.
Lord Jiang's face changed slightly after hearing this.
Mrs. Lin was trembling all over, her face was pale, she couldn't believe it, her ears were buzzing, "You, what did you say?"
Yue'er called the Zhao family to slander Ning'er's reputation?
Lin took half a step back, her strength seemed to be drained from her body, and she almost fell to the ground. Aunt Qin immediately went over to help her.
Marquis Jiang couldn't listen anymore and shouted, "Shut up! If you dare to slander Yue'er, send her to the government immediately! You crazy bitch, Yue'er is the daughter of the Marquis family, how could she do such a thing!"
"Master, everything I said is true!" Zhao said tremblingly.
