The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy
Chapter 91: Reconciliation
"What poisoning?"
Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an had a bad feeling in his heart. He forced himself to calm down, pretending to be shocked and staring at Madam Jiang, and asked suspiciously: "You just said that you were poisoned?"
Mrs. Jiang stared at him coldly without saying a word.
Facing her gaze that seemed to see through everything, Jiang Pei'an felt a little guilty. He quickly looked away, suddenly snorted, and changed his tone:
"No, Jiang Dongshi, what on earth are you trying to do in front of me? If you were really poisoned, how could you stand in front of me so peacefully?"
"What's more, I just heard from the housekeeper that you have been setting up a stage in the front yard to watch a play these past few days. How can you be considered a person who has been poisoned?"
After hearing this, Jiang Pei'an suddenly felt that something was not right, and his thoughts were racing in his mind: Why would Mrs. Jiang suddenly say these words in front of him?
Mrs. Jiang had long known that Jiang Pei'an was a coward who dared to do things but not to take responsibility for them. She had never thought that she would hear Jiang Pei'an admit that he had poisoned her.
Mrs. Jiang chose to point out the poisoning at this time, just thinking of taking the opportunity to make a big fuss and then divorce Jiang Pei'an.
Now she has done everything she can. She believes that with the abilities of Master Huaijun and others, they will definitely be able to remove Jiang Pei'an from the position of Governor of Jiangning.
At that time, she had no intention of sharing the joys and sorrows with the coward in front of her.
Mrs. Jiang decided to break up with Jiang Pei'an as soon as possible and get the divorce papers!
Madam Jiang raised her eyes to look at the actors who were still standing on the stage. Her face was calm and she said in a light tone, "Qiu Rong, Qiu Lan, send them away from the Jiang Mansion."
Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan looked at each other quickly and responded in unison, "Yes, ma'am."
After saying that, Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan walked towards the stage. Qiu Rong pushed away the guards standing by the side and said to the actors, "Follow me, come out."
The two guards standing by knew that Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan were the Madam's most valued maids. When they were pushed unexpectedly, they did not dare to raise any objection and could only make way for them.
"Butler, guards, all of you go out and guard. This lady has something to discuss with the master."
Mrs. Jiang said.
Butler Jiang and the two guards subconsciously looked at Master Jiang who was standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Jiang Pei'an gestured for them to go out without saying a word.
He wanted to listen to what Mrs. Jiang wanted to say to him.
Butler Jiang and the two guards left the front yard and stood guard not far away outside.
At this time, Jiang Pei'an and Mrs. Jiang were the only ones left in the entire front yard.
Jiang Pei'an stood with his hands behind his back, and scolded her with a cold face: "I was only away from the mansion for a few days, and you made the whole mansion a mess. What do you want to do?"
Madam Jiang chuckled and said calmly, "It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do."
Jiang Pei'an frowned and stared at her with an unhappy expression.
Madam Jiang looked coldly at the husband in front of her, whom she had once held at the top of her heart. She recalled all the good things he had done to her, and realized that they were all just to deceive her.
There will always be only that woman in his heart, and she is just a legal wife who was used for power. If it weren't for her, he, Jiang Pei'an, would not have been able to become an official!
Now that he is powerful, he is thinking of murdering me!
She also harmed her own flesh and blood, whose whereabouts are still unknown!
She really wanted to kill him with her own hands!
Madam Jiang suppressed her anger and took a deep breath before saying, "Jiang Pei'an, let's not beat around the bush. Now that it's just you and me here, you don't have to bother lying to me."
After saying this, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but raise his voice to cover up his guilty conscience: "Ms. Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
Madam Jiang sneered, "You poisoned me a year ago. You don't need to quibble anymore. I have investigated everything clearly. If the old doctor hadn't found out from my pulse, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what happened until the day I die!"
"I know you wish I were dead, but unfortunately, I can't die now, and I can't give up my position as your legal wife to Bai Lian."
"Jiang Pei'an, are you disappointed?"
Jiang Pei’an: “…”
Jiang Pei'an did feel a little disappointed.
As long as Mrs. Jiang Dong is alive, Bai Lian will always suffer injustice and will not be able to become his wife in a proper manner.
Now that Mrs. Jiang already knows about it, he doesn't need to pretend in front of her anymore!
Jiang Pei'an's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said viciously: "Ms. Jiang, I just want Bai Lian to be my wife. Why don't you know better? Why do you have to embarrass Bai Lian?"
Before she finished her words, Madam Jiang slammed the table and shouted, "Am I making things difficult for her, or is she making things difficult for me?"
"Jiang Pei'an, don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back!"
Jiang Pei'an fell silent immediately, his heart pounding, and he couldn't help but wonder what else she knew.
Madam Jiang's eyes were red, and she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said coldly: "I can give up my position as the principal wife, and you and I can get divorced, but you must agree to my three requests!"
"Heli?"
Jiang Pei'an's eyes lit up, and he raised his voice excitedly: "Are you really willing to divorce me?"
If Mrs. Jiang gets out of the Jiang Mansion, then his White Lotus will no longer have to be hidden outside!
The joy on Jiang Pei'an's face immediately hurt Mrs. Jiang's eyes. She was simply blind to choose such a cruel and ungrateful person!
Since he is heartless, don't blame her for being ungrateful!
"Yes."
Madam Jiang said in a deep voice: "As long as you agree to my three requests, I can sign the divorce agreement immediately."
Jiang Pei'an: "What do you want?"
Madam Jiang: "First, in addition to my dowry, you must give me one million taels."
"What!? One million taels? Mrs. Jiang, are you crazy?"
For a moment, Jiang Pei'an couldn't help but wonder if he had heard it wrong. Otherwise, how could he hear Jiang Dongshi asking him for one million taels?
"I'm not crazy."
Madam Jiang looked at him calmly, and said word by word: "It's just one million taels. It's nothing to you, right?"
Don’t think she doesn’t know how much silver is hidden in Jiang Pei’an’s private vault!
"Moreover, you keep saying that you love Bai Lian. Why? Is your love for Bai Lian not as much as this one million taels of silver?"
Jiang Pei'an:!!! That's one million taels!
If it weren't for Bai Lian, he would definitely not agree to this request. Just thinking about handing over one million taels to Jiang Dongshi made Jiang Pei'an feel extremely heartbroken. "What is the second request?"
Madam Jiang: "I want the title deed to the house in Lane 16, East Street."
"can."
This request was not too excessive, so Jiang Pei'an thought about it and agreed.
"The third requirement is——"
Madam Jiang: "Expel Jiang Hui from the Jiang family and she will no longer be a daughter of the Jiang family!"
Jiang Pei’an: ???
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Hui'er is Bai Lian's sweetheart, how could he possibly expel Hui'er from the Jiang family?
Jiang Pei'an almost exploded. He immediately cursed: "Poisonous woman, you poisonous woman! How dare you make such a request!"
"I won't agree! Hui'er is my daughter, how could I do such a thing?"
"Besides, the Jiang family and the Shi family are relatives. You asked me to do this. Do you want to cause a rift between the Jiang and Shi families? Or do you want Hui'er to die?"
"You are so cruel. Hui'er has called you mother for so many years. How could you bear to treat her like that?"
"Ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
Jiang Hui is not her biological daughter, so she doesn't care even if she really forces Jiang Hui to die.
However, Madam Jiang did not say this directly. She seemed to be unable to see the anger on Jiang Pei'an's face and said calmly, "I am going to divorce you now. From now on, I will no longer be a wife of the Jiang family. Hui'er was born after ten months of pregnancy. She is my biological daughter."
Mrs. Jiang emphasized the word "biological" very much, "I want to leave the Jiang family, then as my biological daughter, Hui'er should no longer be a member of the Jiang family."
"You're dreaming!"
Jiang Pei'an was so angry that he felt dizzy and his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Madam Jiang: "Give up on this idea! Mrs. Jiang, I tell you, even if I kick you out, I can't kick Hui'er out of the Jiang family!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Pei'an left in anger.
The first divorce negotiation failed.
Mrs. Jiang stood there and watched Jiang Pei'an leave. When she no longer saw his back, she seemed to be deflated and staggered and fell into the rocking chair.
She completely saw through Jiang Pei'an's true face.
He called her a vicious woman, but in fact, his methods were even more vicious than hers...
After taking the actors out of the house, Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan hurried back to the front yard.
"lady."
Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan walked to Mrs. Jiang's side.
Seeing that her wife looked a little pale, Qiulan frowned slightly and hurriedly said softly, "Madam, are you tired? Why don't you go back to the yard and rest for a while?"
Madam Jiang slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Go back."
Qiulan nodded.
Qiu Rong said, "Madam, someone just slipped a note to me secretly."
Madam Jiang was immediately surprised and asked subconsciously, "Who is it? Qiu Rong, take it out and let me see it."
"That person left too quickly. I was distracted for a moment and didn't see who he was."
Qiu Rong took out a rolled-up piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Jiang.
When Mrs. Jiang opened it, she saw familiar handwriting.
[Tomorrow at 00:00, we will gather in the Tianzi Wing Room on the third floor of Tianyue Inn in the south of the city. ]
Tianyue Inn in South City?
Could it be that Master Huaijun and his men have already arrived in Jiangning?
Madam Jiang fell into deep thought for a moment. She had already sent people to deliver what Master Huaijun wanted. But now, why did Master Huaijun come to Jiangning to meet her again?
Madam Jiang crumpled the note in her hand into a ball and held it tightly: "Go back to the yard first."
Qiu Rong and Qiu Lan responded in unison: "Yes, ma'am."
……
There are still secret agents sent by Xie Xi in the Jiang Mansion, and the hustle and bustle of the Jiang Mansion today has been reported back by the secret agents.
However, at this time, Xie Xi and his companions were not in Luoyang Inn, but in Lane 18, East Street, in the house where Lord Bai and General Liang lived.
"Mrs. Jiang wants to divorce Mr. Jiang?"
Xie Xi was slightly surprised by the news brought back by the spy. He did not expect that Mrs. Jiang would make this decision so quickly.
But it’s better this way. Once Lord Jiang really loses power and suffers, Madam Jiang doesn’t have to accompany him.
Hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan said, "Is the Lord Jiang that Your Highness is talking about the Governor of Jiangning?"
Xie Xi nodded: "That's right."
"Thanks to Madam Jiang, we were able to learn that Jiang Pei'an had long been colluding with Shi Weian to collect bribes. The letters between the two of them were all sent by Madam Jiang."
With these letters, no matter how much Jiang Pei'an wanted to distance himself from the matter, he could no longer do so.
And there is Shi Weian. The treasury and account books in his study are evidence.
As long as all the officials in Jiangnan come to the banquet, Xie Xi can determine how many people are involved in the bribery case, and then send people to their homes to look for evidence, the bribery case in Jiangnan can be solved smoothly soon.
"So there is such a plot?"
Bai Qiuyuan instantly became interested and couldn't help asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "How did Your Royal Highness convince Madam Jiang?"
After these words were spoken, Xie Xi and Meng Huaijun looked at each other quickly, both smiling without saying a word.
If it weren't for Lu Fengyi's voice, the matter of persuading Madam Jiang would not have been resolved so easily.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Meng Huaijun who was sitting opposite him, "Can't say?"
Meng Huaijun pursed his lips and chuckled, saying meaningfully: "Master Bai, it can only be understood but not expressed in words."
Bai Qiuyuan: "..."
General Liang: “…”
Bai Qiuyuan became more and more curious as he heard it so mysteriously, but since neither the Crown Prince nor Meng Huaijun wanted to speak, he did not continue asking.
"By the way, Lord Bai, how are the preparations for the banquet to entertain Jiangnan officials going?"
Xie Xi asked, "What was Shi Wei'an's reaction when he heard about this?"
Bai Qiuyuan pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Your Highness, rest assured. The banquet is almost ready. As for Lord Shi, I saw that his face was not very good at that time. I guess Lord Shi does not want us to meet other officials."
"Shi Wei'an is afraid that something unexpected will happen if all officials from Jiangnan come to the banquet."
Just by listening to Lord Bai's words, Xie Xi had already guessed what Shi Weian was thinking. He looked calm and said slowly, "After all, there are so many officials, big and small, in Jiangnan. As long as one person is willing to speak up, many things will be revealed."
"If I'm not mistaken, the first thing Shi Wei'an will do when he returns to the palace is to write letters to other officials, reminding them not to say certain things that they shouldn't say in front of Lord Bai and General Liang."
Bai Qiuyuan agreed: "Your Highness, what you said is indeed reasonable. According to Your Highness, what should I do?"
“Don’t be too deliberate.”
Xie Xi raised his eyes and smiled gently at Bai Qiuyuan: "Besides, isn't Lord Bai already trying to alienate the relationship between Shi Weian and Jiang Pei'an?"
