The drama, full of twists and turns, finally came to an end amidst people's sighs. Chen Zhao and Zhang Lan's family were detained in prison to await trial, while Jiang Ruan regained the status of returning to the Jiang fu. Before the court was evacuated, Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi could not help but run to her. Both of them were so moved that they could not speak.
Lian Qiao said, "This servant knows that Miss is a virtuous person, and that Furen's spirit in heaven will bless Miss. Later, we must offer some incense to Furen."
Jiang Ruan shook her head, "Speaking of which, I should thank the two daren for making the decision for me, as well as Lu Zhu and the others, who were willing to stand up and speak for me. Especially Qiu Yan, I really should thank her. "As she finished speaking, she walked to Qiu Yan and smiled," Thank you, Qiu Yan. "
Qiu Yan stared blankly at Jiang Ruan, a trace of fear in her eyes. In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Ruan had not done anything today, and the ones who had stood up were the few servant girls. In fact, no one knew that everything she had said had been instructed by Jiang Ruan. From the beginning, Jiang Ruan had laid out such a trap. She had dug a splendidly decorated pit, and smilingly sat to one side as she watched Chen Zhao jump in. Poor Chen Zhao, when he jumped in, thought that the trap he had dug was bigger and bigger.
Zhang Lan's family had a deep-rooted position in the rural residence. It could be said that as long as the Jiang fu did not fall, and Xia Yan was still Jiang Quan's wife, they could cover the sky with one hand. Jiang Ruan would not be able to topple this entangled power in a short period of time, which was why Zhang Lan was so fearless. He did not expect that Jiang Ruan would not even think of cleaning up this complicated relationship. From the very beginning, her purpose was to target Zhang Lan and her son. Her methods were clean, efficient, and decisive. Finally, she would take drastic measures to remove the firewood from under the cauldron. Turning around, she would return to the Jiang fu. No one would be able to do anything to her.
But this kind of scheming came from a ten-year-old girl. Moreover, for the past five years, Jiang Ruan had displayed stupidity and cowardice. This kind of forbearance was truly frightening. Qiu Yan's heart was filled with lingering fear. She did not expect that the person who hid the deepest in this rural residence was this unremarkable Eldest Miss. If they were to return to the Jiang fu, it was likely that Xia Yan and her daughter would not be able to obtain any benefits. Jiang Ruan had endured silently for many years, but now, with such a counterattack, it was likely that the Jiang fu would undergo great changes.
Qiu Yan respectfully lowered her head and replied, "Young Mistress is the mistress. It is only natural for this servant to do things for the mistress. This servant is very fearful of Young Mistress' words."
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, "Not everyone is like you. In short, thank you very much." She personally held Qiu Yan's hand and felt the other's hand tremble slightly. An inexplicable smile flashed across her eyes.
Just as Qiu Yan had thought, she had finally reached the first step. In her previous life, Zhang Lan and her son had played an important role in ruining her life. At that time, she was powerless and could only allow herself to be trampled on. Now, she would not hand over her life with both hands like before. On the contrary, no one could do anything to her. Returning to the fu was the beginning of her vengeance, but more importantly, after today's great change, Jiang Quan's reputation would inevitably hit rock bottom. If the common people's saliva could cause him to lose face, then the censor's impeachment would definitely cause his official career to be obstructed.
Obstructing Jiang Quan's official career was the first thing she wanted to do.
The people in the hall dispersed, and Jiang Ruan's gaze fell on the person who was slowly walking towards her. When he came close, she lightly bowed, "Wang daren."
Imperial Censor Wang stroked the white beard on his chin and said meaningfully, "Girl, we meet again."
Jiang Ruan also smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if daren's red plum blossoms are currently blooming well?"
"Not self-abased, not fawning, lofty and pure, a lifetime of righteousness, blooming very well." Imperial Censor Wang stared closely at her eyes, "Just a little stubborn."
Jiang Quan smiled lightly, but did not comment.
The reason why she was so sure that this Imperial Censor Wang would uphold justice for her was entirely because of the memories from her previous life. In her previous life, when she was in the rural residence, when Bai Zhi went out, she heard everyone on the streets talking about an incident. It was said that an old man had been cheated of money on West Street. Unable to contain his anger, he went to the yamen, but in the end, the yamen simply did not pay any attention to him. Without a second word, they called for an official to drive him out. This old man was extremely angry, and not long after, an imperial edict came from the capital, stripping Qian Wanli of his official position. This was because that old man was actually a high-ranking official in the capital, and Imperial Censor Wang, who was favored by the Emperor.
Imperial Censor Wang was stubborn and stubborn. He was someone who even dared to admonish the Emperor. Normally, he liked to meddle in other people's business, and was willing to meddle in anything that he felt was unfair. Therefore, on that day, Jiang Ruan suddenly proposed to go to West Street, solving Imperial Censor Wang's urgent problem. Imperial Censor Wang was still here, and he would certainly have to investigate Chen Zhao's case. Seeing Jiang Ruan, who had once had a red plum blossom, naturally, he would not stand by idly and watch her injustice.
That red plum blossom was the stone that knocked on Imperial Censor Wang's heart. Imperial Censor Wang prided himself on being absolutely fair, but everyone in the world had a scale in their hearts. Unless one was a saint who was emotionless and desireless, this scale would always be biased towards the side of one's preference. Imperial Censor Wang already had a strong first impression of her. Once Qiu Yan said that she was wrongly accused, Imperial Censor Wang would subconsciously believe her, and would spare no effort to help Jiang Ruan find evidence that was beneficial to her.
Imperial Censor Wang had made a good move, but the most ingenious part of this move lay in the power of the aftermath. Based on Imperial Censor Wang's upright and stubborn character, upon seeing Jiang Ruan's current situation, he was bound to feel a lot of dissatisfaction towards Jiang Quan, who was also an official of the same court. When he returned to the capital, he would also ruthlessly complain about it. And one could imagine the impact that such words would have on Jiang Quan.
Jiang Ruan smiled, "Your Excellency's benevolence, Jiang Ruan is unable to repay it."
Imperial Censor Wang revealed a strange expression, "Are you thanking me for vindicating you, thanking me for sending you back to the fu, or thanking me for cooperating with you in the court today?"
Such an upright person in the officialdom who had stood tall for so many years was naturally not an incompetent person. Jiang Ruan was not surprised that he had seen through her, and calmly replied, "Both."
Imperial Censor Wang looked at her deeply, "Little girl, don't think too much. Today's effortless effort will be considered as repayment for those few red plum blossoms of yours. You said that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, but this old man believes that this saying is even more applicable to you. "He shook his head," Later on, I will have a few yamen runners follow you back to retrieve the things. Everything will be returned to its original owner. "
Jiang Ruan nodded in thanks.
Imperial Censor Wang walked a few steps forward, and suddenly stopped. Without turning his head, he spoke with his back facing Jiang Ruan, "Oh right, your father did not manage his family strictly, and allowed his di daughter to be bullied and humiliated by others. Cultivating one's moral character, managing one's family, and ruling the country to pacify the world, Jiang Quan's harem is still so muddled. Presumably, the officialdom is also biased. After returning to the capital, this old man will submit a report to warn others."
