Li Wei Yang’s eyes exuded a touch of coldness: "Uncle, how do you explain now?"

  Jiang Xu’s face was extremely angry: "Li Wei Yang, Lao Furen is my biological mother, will I kill her in order to frame you? Am I crazy?"

  Li Wei Yang said coldly: "Uncle will not, of course, but the rest of the Jiang family may not be thinking the same . "

  Jiang Da Furen had always followed the principle of non-speaking and non-intrusive, but now her face had inevitably discolored: "What do you mean?! What do you mean by others of the Jiang family?!"

  Li Wei Yang sighed and said, "For the sake of my Fifth Sister, the two families will inevitably commit evil . Even though Uncle will not murder his biological mother but that doesn’t mean Aunt won’t resent me for the matter of Fourth Gongzi . Hard to conclude anything about the human heart — "

  Jiang Da Furen has always been a tolerant person even though she had envisioned countless times to hack Li Wei Yang to death . But with those words, her whole face turned red: "I will never do this! Don’t make unfounded attacks on me! "

  Li Wei Yang looked at Li Lao Furen and said, "Grandmother, first, Dajie was replaced by someone; I don’t know where that monster came from . Later, Maternal Grandmother was suddenly poisoned and I was wronged as the murderer . Now that it has been proven that Grandmother had already been severely ill but Aunt and Uncle had both denied it—thinking about it, we should know that there must be more to this . Let’s just hurry back, I don’t dare to stay here any longer . ” She said as she went to help Li Lao Furen .

  Li Lao Furen almost laughed out loud, but she said solemnly: "Let’s go, since we are not welcome here, we don’t have to come again!"

  Jiang Hai was impulsive and could not help to go up and teach Li Wei Yang a lesson, but his second brother Jiang Yang grabbed his arm: "Brother, calm down!"

  Jiang Hai has always been the most stable among them, but now he is also showing an unusual impulsive behavior . This Li Wei Yang is really too capable of driving others crazy! Jiang Yang stared at Li Wei Yang with a somber face . His eyes looked at his prey like a poisonous snake, but because of the crowds of people here, he couldn’t do anything and could only secretly swallow the venom .

  Jiang Hua can be regarded as the calmest person in this room . If you ignore the blue veins that broke out in his hands, this matter still cannot be concealed . This version of them murdering the Duke’s Furen created by Li Wei Yang was indeed marvelous and he was only afraid that it would soon be heard . People’s mouths can’t be controlled so it will only spread more and more . At that time, everyone will feel that the death of the Duke’s Furen is related to the Jiang family and they will all be charged with matricide . The centuries’ long reputation established by the Jiangs was ruined by Li Wei Yang in a day! From now on, in the hearts of the people, the Jiangs are no longer the inviolable guardian gods on the battlefield but a large tree with a noble appearance and a decaying interior, which is dirty and disgusting .

  Li Wei Yang is really cruel . There is something in the world that even if you ignore it, it would still continue to shrink . If you fight against it by yourself, it is often laborious and ineffective, even counterproductive . Moreover, it is so powerful and permanent that it can almost determine the social status and interpersonal relationship of the entire family and this is the so-called family honor . The Jiang family can turn a blind eye to gossip but if the entire capital is viewing the Jiang family this way, all their efforts over the past century will be over . Jiang Hua is the person in this hall who knows Li Wei Yang’s purpose the best so he desperately restrained his anger and walked up with a smile: "Wei Yang, we are all a family, why should we allow outsiders to see us as laughingstocks?"

  This was already a compromise . Seeing how Li Wei Yang forced them into this position, he begged her to show mercy .

  Of course, Li Wei Yang heard his implicit suggestion . If she was a weaker person, she might have accepted the offer . But she won’t because she knew too well of the crazy desire for revenge in the heart of the Jiangs . Breaking their ties completely, Li Wei Yang said coldly: "One family?" She turned to look at Li Xiao Ran, "Father, do you think so?"

  Li Xiao Ran looked gloomy, but said: "I have no such shameless relatives in the Li family! Official Yao, please investigate clearly who is the murderer behind the Duke’s Furen’s death besides that fake . Also, please remember to help us find me my daughter, alive or dead!"

  No matter how upright Yao Chang Qing, facing Prime Minister Li, who had a lengthy unknown years of experience and especially when he would also be his future father-in-law, he simply bowed his head and said: "Yes, your subordinate must thoroughly investigate this matter!"

  Li Xiao Ran snorted coldly, without looking at the unsightly Jiang family and said, "Your Highness, please allow your subject to leave first!"

  The Crown Prince glanced at the Jiang family, shook his head and sighed . The centuries’ long reputation of a family clan was completely destroyed . He could imagine what rumors would spread tomorrow . No matter how powerful the Jiang family is, the family honor was ruined by this generation of descendants . Such a pity, it’s really a pity . . . among the families of Da Li, the Jiang family was one of the most noble families who highly valued their own reputation . It was very unfortunate for them to fall to this point .

  However, Li Wei Yang only helped Li Lao Furen and followed Li Xiao Ran . As they walked past Jiang Hua, she heard him gritting his teeth: "I have given in, please return my Fifth Brother!"

  Jiang Tian was in her own hands, and the other party had many tricks that couldn’t be used . Li Wei Yang smiled slightly and said, "Go to the back door and take a look . " As she spoke, she led the confused Lao Furen away .

  Everyone watched the unexpected ending of the play and couldn’t help but conceive a brilliant plot with great excitement in their hearts as they were ready to go out and spread it . At the moment, Jiang Xu has no time to take care of this because Yao Changqing is still chasing after him: "I will report this to His Majesty and at the same time interrogate the monster to see if she and the group of assassins sneaked into my room yesterday . Oh yes, and if it is found to be related to the Jiang family— " He didn’t go on . Jiang Xu’s brows jumped . Li Wei Yang had left but she had caused countless troubles to the Jiang family . This trouble wasn’t something that can be resolved in a day or two .

  He sighed for a long time, and almost felt that the person they provoked was not a young girl but someone who was biting onto them until justice was served .

  Once they left the Jiang Estate, Li Xiao Ran helped Li Lao Furen into the carriage first and then looked at Li Wei Yang with a strange awe . A girl who looked very weak was actually a strategist who takes one step and thinks three steps ahead . This move not only destroyed Li Chang Le but also destroyed the centuries’ long reputation of the Jiang family . Reputation is not a pain or an itch that a human being can feel . It will bring along lots of side effects, such as the appeal of the Jiang family, the prestige in the army, and even the status in the heart of His Majesty . Embroiling herself in a plot set by her, Li Wei Yang’s efforts were really terrifying . She was fearless and wasn’t at all worried about her life or the interests of the Li family .

  "Wei Yang, when you do things in the future, I only hope that you can think for your Yiniang and your brother . " Li Xiao Ran reminded .

  Li Wei Yang smiled slightly and said, "Father is the Prime Minister, that’s your concubine and that’s your son, but you ask a girl like me to put in considerations for them . Isn’t it too much?"

  Li Xiao Ran was stunned and couldn’t help but smile . Li Wei Yang clearly kicked the ball back to him . Li Min Zhi was the only son by his side . He would jeopardize his own life to ensure nothing would happen to him . After the last poisoning incident, he secretly arranged three times more men to protect Seventh Yiniang and even changed the people in the yard . He also heavily paid a Mama who knows how everything worked . But in order to prevent Li Wei Yang from getting crazy and to give her a little more burden, he kept this matter concealed . Now it seems that she already knew all of this . He had no idea what to do with this daughter of his! He can’t kill nor keep her, forget it, he will look into this again! Li Xiao Ran glanced at the gloomy sky . He couldn’t help but sigh and said to the people waiting on the edge: "Let’s go back . "

  Li Wei Yang watched as Li Xiao Ran got on the carriage . She smiled and sarcastically said: "Always overcautious and indecisive, he clearly wanted to use me as a pawn and now he’s pretending . "

  Li Min De smiled silently and said, "He only values ​​his position and power . Why should you care?"

  Li Wei Yang stepped on the stool into the other carriage while saying, "Oh, did you do what I said?"

  Li Min De also got into the carriage: "I have already thrown the person at the back door of the Jiangs . "

  Li Wei Yang nodded, but Bai Zhi quietly said: "Xiaojie, Nubi still doesn’t understand ——"

  Li Wei Yang glanced at her and raised an eyebrow: "Don’t understand what?"

  Bai Zhi whispered: "Nubi still doesn’t understand who killed the Duke’s Furen?"

  Li Wei Yang laughed and said, "Did you not see it all? It was Li Chang Le who planned and killed the Duke’s Furen . "

  Bai Zhi shook her head and said: "But Nubi feels that the Duke’s Furen knows of this matter clearly . She seems more like the person who would frame Xiaojie behind the scenes . "

  Li Wei Yang rarely looked at Bai Zhi with a compliment, and said: "It is true, she originally wanted to frame me but she did not expect that her granddaughter had the same idea as her and she executed it before she did . "

  Bai Zhi became more and more confused and couldn’t help but glanced at Zhao Yue who also had on an inexplicable expression .

  Li Wei Yang was in a good mood and explained to her: "Look at this . " She then untied the sachet around her waist and handed it to Bai Zhi .

  Bai Zhi took it and quickly poured out the content but it was a small box . She opened it and froze; it was just ordinary vanilla .

  "This was when Jiang Tian was still in Li Estate . I often had nightmares and couldn’t rest in peace . Jiang Tian gave it to me . He said it was a panacea used to calm the mind . It contained cinnabar ingredients . Only after I suspected Jiang Tian, I immediately replaced the contents of the box but I kept the pill box . Others would have thought that I had been carrying the tranquilizer medicine but unfortunately they didn’t find anything when they finally searched . "

  Li Wei Yang said slowly, "The Duke’s Furen would have known about this object on me and had set the trap and waited for me to step into it . Unfortunately, she didn’t expect that her stupid granddaughter actually acted before she did and ordered Han Xiang to hide the needle that contains arsenic in the dress I would change into . I excused myself to change my clothes and sent Han Xiang away . Then I checked the skirt carefully, found the needle and handed it to Zhao Yue . When Li Chang Le heard people were saying there was poison in the jujubes and found out that nothing was found on me, she immediately changed her strategy and framed me for poisoning the jujubes . She didn’t know about the Duke Furen’s plan so she would naturally leave behind traces . If they did a post-mortem, they would definitely find out that the poison in the Duke Furen’s body is different from jujubes —— so she would be extremely opposed to it!"

  Bai Zhi nodded and said: "If the Duke Furen had kept her informed early in the morning——"

  Li Min De smiled faintly and said, "It seems that we have taken it for granted" and then pondered: "Just by the cinnabar in the box and the cinnabar in the jujubes, it cannot be proven that Wei Yang did it . There would have been a series of other tricks but unfortunately they didn’t have the chance to use them . Such a meticulous plan was not something that Li Chang Le’s brains can figure out . It was the most reliable to not tell Li Chang Le and allow her to show the most authentic reaction . Unfortunately, the Duke’s Furen didn’t expect that Li Chang Le would actually do such a stupid thing!"

  "She had been this kind of person all along!" Zhao Yue didn’t take it seriously: "However, does Da Xiaojie have any accomplices?"

  "Of course, she didn’t do it alone . " Li Wei Yang said: "Jiang Yue Lan and perhaps Da Jiang Furen were also involved in this matter . Jiang Yue Lan was obviously involved in Li Chang Le’s plan . Da Jiang Furen should know of the Duke Furen’s plan and she was the chosen executor . But unfortunately, Li Chang Le rushed out and it wasn’t easy for Jiang Da Furen to act . Now I really want to know what the Duke Furen’s had arranged besides the poisonous jujubes . It’s such a pity that with her death, the only person who knows would be Jiang Da Furen . She wouldn’t tell me . ”There was a trace of regret on her face . ”


  "But if the mastermind is not her, have we caught the real murderer yet?" Bai Zhi said .

  Li Wei Yang smiled: "I never thought about catching the real murderer . I didn’t have the patience to see Li Chang Le again . Since she is looking for her own way of death, I must lay out the most bright and memorable path for her . " Of course, her real purpose still lies with the Jiang family . The after effects of this matter were inestimable . Of course, the Jiang family hasn’t really realized it .

  As Li Wei Yang said, she opened the carriage curtain and looked out . The sunlight fell on her hand . Li Min De couldn’t help noticing that her hand was very beautiful, her skin was transparent and white, and her pinky was curled slightly, which brought along an unclear trace of laziness .

  "We could have killed Jiang Tian . " Li Min De suddenly said .

  Li Wei Yang smiled faintly and said, "Hasn’t been terrified to death already? What’s more, without him, we couldn’t have found the tunnel . "

  Li Min De just looked at his hand and for a long time didn’t say anything: "Saying this, you obviously —— just want to let him live . "

  Li Wei Yang lost her smile and said, "For the sake of him not being entirely bad . "

  Li Min De said sadly: "And Jiang Xu? If our people entered the Jiang Estate and took the opportunity to kill him——"

  Li Wei Yang shook her head and said, "It’s not that easy . We took him by surprise because of our advantage in knowing about the tunnel . If we fight in broad daylight, we would lose . Do you really think their military merits are made of clay? "

  "Then, what are you going to do next?" Bai Zhi handed Li Min De a cup of tea and Li Min De whispered through the tea mist .

  Li Wei Yang looked back at him, and suddenly smiled . Her eyes showed cold intentions and a hidden murderous look: "Wait and see . "

  When Jiang Hua passed by the study, he heard Jiang Hai, who had been the most stable, scolded loudly: "You wastrel! You dare come back!" Although his voice was loud, he intentionally said it to the people in the study .

  Jiang Hua looked towards the person kneeling on the ground . A heavy rainstorm had just passed in the evening . Jiang Tian wore a thin summer shirt and knelt in the rain . It was obvious that he had been kneeling for some time and the water on the ground had crept into his knees . Jiang Hua whispered softly: "Brother, this is . . . "

  Jiang Hai didn’t say anything, but the second son Jiang Yang stood beside him and said coldly: "Third Brother, Father had ordered to let the Fifth Brother kneel out here!"

  Jiang Hua sighed . He knew that Jiang Tian was not in good health . The root cause of his illness was developed during his childhood . How could he stand kneeling in the rain like this? While sighing, she heard Jiang Second Furen hurried over, stood at the end of the corridor and didn’t dare to speak . In this family, the master of the house was Jiang Xu . In addition, this time Jiang Tian did make a big mistake . She did not dare to plead for her son .

  Jiang Yang apparently felt unbearable and couldn’t help saying: "I’m going to plead with Father . "

  Jiang Hua raised his head and gently shook his finger: "You can’t say it . "

  Jiang Yang’s heart sank: "But he can’t let him kneel until dawn . "

  Jiang Hua said: "Father’s anger is not trivial this time . The more you persuade him, the more angry he will get . On the contrary, if you turn a blind eye, he will let him rise . " Jiang Tian is Second Uncle’s only son so Jiang Xu would naturally not act too aggressively . But if we go and plead for him, it will fuel the fire . Several of them were talking outside and they all waited quietly . Sure enough, after half an hour, the door of the study opened, and a voice came from inside: "Scram inside!"

  Jiang Hua immediately said: "Fifth Brother, get up!"

  Jiang Tian was weak and sick since childhood, which was why he didn’t love swords but loved medicine . Additionally, he was born with chills and he had to wear two layers of pants in the summer . Now that he had knelt for this long in the rain, he almost couldn’t get up . Jiang Yang gave him a hand before he finally got up and fearfully followed behind his three elder brothers through the doors . Jiang Second Furen watched from afar, extremely worried .

  In the study, Jiang Xu looked gloomy and coldly said: "Clearly tell us now, how can you reveal the tunnel to outsiders? Did you really want to betray the Jiang family?!"

  Jiang Tian was quiet for a long time and then he suddenly cried, "Uncle, I was scared, I was really scared by that girl . She is not a human at all, there was no mercy at all! If I didn’t tell her, she ordered people to ensure I couldn’t sleep day and night . She also tried all kinds of ways to torture me — "

  "Useless thing!" Jiang Xu, in an instant rage, smashed the black jade paperweight with a snap, "You can’t even handle this matter, how are you qualified to say you are a Jiang!"

  Although Jiang Tian loved to play tricks, he was definitely not a person who didn’t know the importance and exposed the tunnel to outsiders, especially this outsider who was their enemy, which was equivalent to betraying the family! Jiang Hua slightly frowned and said: "You were not such a timid person before . "——
