Chapter 522 Exposed
Chapter 522 Exposed
Study. Li Taohua walked in, looked at Jiang Zhiyu in front of her, and bowed: "Greetings, Master."
Jiang Zhiyu was writing something and responded, "Come here."
Li Taohua frowned, but finally walked obediently behind Jiang Zhiyu.
In front of Jiang Zhiyu was a painting. In the painting, a woman was dancing, and next to her was a man playing the piano.
This is 'Qingyi' and Jiang Zhiyu back then.
"Does it look familiar?" Jiang Zhiyu looked at her, "Do you remember anything?"
"Uncle, you called me here so that I can appreciate paintings. I am just a rough country woman and I really can't understand paintings. I am sorry to disappoint you." Li Taohua was neither humble nor arrogant.
"You hid it very well. The birthmarks and scars on your body are all gone, your eating habits have changed, and even your accent has changed, but..." Jiang Zhiyu stood up and pinched her neck, "Qingyi, you are not without weaknesses. Your beautiful daughter is your biggest weakness."
"Yinyin is missing, did you do it?" Li Taohua's mood changed immediately when she heard Qin Huiyin mentioned. "I told you that you recognized the wrong person, give Yinyin back to me."
"I haven't had the chance yet, but I have a good son who, like me, is very discerning. He took a liking to your daughter at first sight and wanted to take her as his concubine. I was originally worried that she was Qingyi's daughter and Zhou'er was Qingyi's son. If something happened, it would not be good. Since you are not Qingyi, this uncle will not care. My son can marry a beautiful woman, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of me as a father. Don't worry, Zhou'er will love your daughter well."
When Jiang Zhiyu said that, Li Taohua was already shaking with anger. She slapped him hard and looked at him resentfully: "Yinyin is innocent. Let Yinyin go and give her back to me."
"Madam Tang, my Zhou'er is the son of the Anping Earl. Is he not worthy of your daughter from the countryside? You should learn to be content." Jiang Zhiyu grabbed her wrist. "Come, tell the young master that Madam Tang is not his biological mother, and that Miss Qin is not his sister. He wants to take her into his room, and he can do it tonight."
From outside came the follower's response: "Yes."
"No, you can't." Li Taohua grabbed Jiang Zhiyu's arm, "You said Yinyin is in Jiang Yunzhou's hands. Where's the evidence? I want to see Yinyin."
Jiang Zhiyu pulled out a box from a nearby drawer, opened it, and took out the jade pendant. "Does this look familiar? Is it your daughter's?"
Li Taohua took it tremblingly and stroked it carefully: "Who knows if you stole it from somewhere? I haven't seen Yinyin... ahem..."
Jiang Zhiyu pinched Li Taohua's neck and said, "My patience is limited. If you don't tell me, your daughter will have to enjoy herself under my son."
"I'm Qingyi, I'm his mother, Yinyin is his biological sister, don't touch her." Li Taohua looked at Jiang Zhiyu resentfully, "If this is the answer you want to hear, I'll tell you. Don't hurt my daughter."
"What did you say?" Jiang Zhiyu let go of Li Taohua. "Say it again."
"I said Yinyin is my daughter, I am Qingyi, don't touch Yinyin, that's incestuous." Li Taohua repeated with her eyes closed.
No matter what the cost, she must not let Yinyin suffer even the slightest harm. She could live in hell forever, but her Yinyin must be happy.
"You finally admitted it." Jiang Zhiyu sneered, "Which wild man did you have with Qin Huiyin? Tell me!"
"Let Yinyin go, let her go. Just let her go, and I'll tell you everything you want to know." Li Taohua grabbed Jiang Zhiyu's arm. "Let her go."
"Really? I just lied to you. I don't know where your precious daughter is. But if you stay and serve me well, I will help you find her."
"Jiang Zhiyu, you haven't been so shameless before."
"My woman gave birth to a child for someone else outside and married a country bumpkin. Do you believe there are people who are more shameless?" Jiang Zhiyu sneered.
"Master, we've caught two people." The attendant pushed open the door and pushed Tang Yixiao and Tang Dafu in. "These two were sneaking around, pretending to be servants of the Earl's Mansion, but we caught them."
Li Taohua saw Tang Dafu and Tang Yi laughing and asked angrily, "What are you doing here?"
"Wife, I'm worried about you..." Tang Dafu said, and saw Jiang Zhiyu pinching Li Taohua. He wanted to rush over but was kicked away by his follower.
"Jiang Zhiyu, let them go." Li Taohua said nervously.
"Such an incompetent man, and you actually still feel sorry for him. How about I help you get rid of this incompetent man who can't even protect his own woman?"
"Master Jiang, I don't know what grudge you have against my mother, but you, Master Jiang, kill people at the drop of a hat. I'm the apprentice of the head of the Imperial Hospital after all. You treat us like dirt. Aren't you afraid of the laws of the Ministry of Justice?"
"I killed a few thieves who rushed into my own house. What kind of law can control me?" Jiang Zhiyu looked at them with contempt.
"Jiang Zhiyu, let Yinyin go, let them go. If you have any hatred, come to me. I am willing to let you vent it." Li Taohua grabbed Jiang Zhiyu's arm.
"Take these two away first."
As soon as Jiang Zhiyu finished speaking, a noisy sound came from outside.
"You can't go in... Commander Song, you are too rude. This is the Earl's Mansion..."
Bang! Song Ruize came in with his men.
"Master Jiang, I'm sorry, but I heard there was a thief in your house, so I came here to arrest him personally."
"Commander Song, we can handle the thieves in our house ourselves. There's no need for you to mobilize so many troops."
"That won't do. The Earl is an important official in the court. If he were to be harmed by a thief, wouldn't that destabilize the court? These people are the witnesses who informed me of the thief. I will take them away first. Also, search the entire mansion and make sure to catch the thief who sneaked into the Earl's mansion."
"Commander-in-Chief Song, are you trying to go against this Earl?" Jiang Zhiyu sneered.
"Master, I'm catching thieves for you, aren't I? Our military division is responsible for the security of the entire capital. Your status is noble, so you deserve special protection." Song Ruize waved his hand. "Master, you don't want to hinder our military division from doing their job, do you?"
Jiang Zhiyu looked at Li Taohua: "You want to go with him? You have to think carefully."
Li Taohua broke free from Jiang Zhiyu, came to Song Ruize, and said in a low voice: "He has Yinyin's jade pendant in his hand."
Song Ruize looked at Jiang Zhiyu sharply: "Search!"
Li Taohua helped Tang Dafu up and said, "Let's go."
Leave this to Song Ruize.
Jiang Zhiyu has always been mean, and even if she stayed, he might not release Yinyin because he would use Yinyin to threaten her.
Her staying here would only hinder the fight between Song Ruize and Jiang Zhiyu.
