After leaving the Zhang family, Zhang Yumo hugged Feng Jingyuan and said softly, "Mom, thank you. Thank you for taking care of me, accompanying me, and tolerating my willfulness these days."

"Silly child, what mother wouldn't be tolerant of her own children? You are Jinyan's wife now, and you are my daughter-in-law. Such a big thing happened, and I know you are sad. If you want to cry, just cry. It will be fine.

But Yumo, your grandparents must have anticipated that they would be sad to leave you. I think they definitely don’t want you to be unhappy. If they knew that you tortured yourself, they wouldn’t be able to leave peacefully. "Feng Jingyuan could only comfort her like this.

"Yeah, I understand." It's not that she didn't feel Jiang's mother's concern, she just wanted to indulge herself for once, because this was the last time she cried in the Zhang family. She was also wondering if her grandparents would not have died if she hadn't married. It was all her fault. It was her willfulness that harmed them.

Her second aunt died, and she had no one to ask why, and she couldn't even find anyone to seek revenge on.

After seeing Feng Jingyuan off, Jiang Fenghua and Zhang Yumo got on the carriage together.

Jiang Fenghua asked, "Where are you going now, sister-in-law?"

Zhang Yumo quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes. Her expression changed completely. "I want to see Ji Chen. Can I see him?"

Jiang Fenghua was stunned. She couldn't do anything to Ji Chen now. Why would she go to Ji Chen? Now that Madam Zhang Er had admitted to the crime of arson, the Zhang family's affairs had nothing to do with Ji Chen.

Zhang Yumo took her hand and said, "I won't blame you. This matter is not entirely caused by you. Nanny Wang told me everything that happened in the Zhang Mansion on the day of my wedding. Second Aunt dared to kill and set fire to things. It must not be her idea alone. Grandmother offended Second Aunt in order to protect me. I just feel that I am so useless that they let them harm my grandmother and grandfather."

Her eyes were red.

"Okay, I'll take you to see him, but you have to tell me everything that happened to the Zhang family after you got married, no matter how big or small." She just wanted to see how hard Ji Chen's mouth was. Is he really not afraid of death in order to help the Su family?

Zhang Yumo said slowly, "On the third day after Jinyan and I got married, we went to the doorstep to pay our respects. After we got back, we didn't notice anything. The Zhang family was also very peaceful. But I saw my cousin Zhang Yuyan. She was very excited and bought a lot of things. Later, I learned that she was going to get married, but even my grandmother didn't know about it.

Later, we returned to the Jiang family. His Royal Highness Prince Heng sent someone to look for Jin Yan. He had been busy with border affairs with the prince. I was also in the Jiang Mansion. Two days later, my cousin left the Zhang family with her luggage to find her mother. My grandparents were in poor health and couldn't take care of so many things. It was only when the maids let it slip that I learned that she had married to the border. No one knew about her marriage. I also found it strange that someone as proud as my cousin would marry someone without knowing the reason and not show off to me.

According to Second Aunt's personality, she couldn't have held a grand wedding, and she wanted it to be grand and glorious, but she quietly sent my cousin away. Maybe she was divorced by Second Uncle and sent back to her mother's home, so no one knew about it."

Jiang Fenghua asked doubtfully, "I guess your cousin married into the Su family. I remember that Madam Su originally wanted to ask for you on behalf of Su Xuan. Did she marry Su Xuan? The Second Madam made a deal with the Su family."

She added, "The death of your grandparents is actually related to the Su family. Ji Chen is just a pawn of theirs."

Zhang Yumo said, "Ruan Ruan means that the Su family killed grandpa and grandma."

"Sister-in-law, I have thought a lot these days. If it is really the Su family behind this, your second aunt's death was not her suicide out of fear of punishment. Now there are two possibilities. One is that she used suicide to protect her daughter and wanted to marry her daughter into the Su family. Anyway, her reputation has been ruined and she was divorced by your second uncle. She is desperate, but her daughter is different. She thinks that marrying into the Su family is a blessing.

Secondly, she might have been murdered, but she admitted on the spot that she had killed the Zhang couple, which overturned the second possibility.

I thought Ji Chen couldn't escape this time, but now it seems that he may not die. Without evidence to prove that he assassinated me, he can't be convicted and he can't be locked up in jail forever. This is the worst-case scenario I can think of right now."

Zhang Yumo understood what she meant, that is, she originally wanted to kill Ji Chen, but now because the Su family is helping him behind the scenes, he can't die. "The Su family wants to deal with you because they want to help Concubine Su."

Jiang Fenghua nodded, "I took the position of Princess Heng. In the minds of the Su family, I am the one who is blocking Su Tingwan's path. Only by getting rid of me can Su Tingwan take the position."

"Why? Why do they do this? You are the prince's legally married wife." Zhang Yumo is weak, not stupid. Marrying into the royal family means all these intrigues and schemes, just like the last time they wanted to harm Jiang Fenghua. Fortunately, her eldest brother was there, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

But she believed that Jiang Fenghua would be able to handle it, she was so smart.

Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "It's not based on anything, it's based on the fact that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. We all prosper together and we all suffer together. So, sister-in-law, now that you have married into the Jiang family, you are a member of the Jiang family. I am sitting on the position of Princess Heng. The road ahead is full of thorns. I will also protect every one of my relatives, including you. In fact, it is me who has implicated Old Zhang..."

Zhang Yumo was moved when she heard her say that. She said, "I don't blame you for my grandparents' death. They were too treacherous. If it weren't for you, I would have been killed by them a long time ago. If you want to blame someone, blame me for not being able to protect them."

"Ruan Ruan, I want to avenge my grandparents." Of course she was willing to stand with the Jiang family. She was now Jiang Jinyan's wife, and the Jiang family was also her relatives.

They arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture government office, and as soon as they got off the carriage they discovered that there was a group of sneaky people guarding around. Jiang Fenghua walked in with Zhang Yumo as if they were unaware.

When I saw Ji Chen, I saw that he was covered with bruises and it seemed that he had been severely tortured.

Ji Chen suddenly stared at Jiang Fenghua, "Princess Heng, you are finally here." His eyes still seemed to be provocative.

Then, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he began to cry out for injustice again: "Why are you wrongly accusing me? I don't know any assassins at all. I just went to see the fire at Zhang's house.

I have no grudge against you, but you have crippled my hand. Why are you trying to hurt me like this?

I am a scholar with a degree, you have no right to imprison me, you have crippled my hands, how can I pass the imperial examination, I want to write a petition to the emperor...

I am innocent... You want to torture me into confessing, and you want to cover up the truth with one hand. In this clear and bright world, under the feet of the emperor, do you still have the law?" Ji Chen cried like a shrew.

He thought: He was sure that the people's attention was on the fire at Zhang's house that night. It was also a fact that Lin Yu had cut his hand tendons. With so many people watching, the incident had become a big deal. It was said that he wanted to assassinate Princess Heng, but she got off the carriage safely. How could this be justified?

Jiang Fenghua is a smart person. She will not let herself be splashed with dirty water just to deal with Ji Chen, so she has to take the initiative.
