2027 I recognize you
Jiang Hong’s mother was a concubine’s daughter of the old master Lu. The old master Lu had four sons and daughters in total, and only Jiang Hong’s mother was a daughter. Therefore, even if she was a concubine’s daughter, she lived like a legitimate daughter.
The country guarding Duke was Jiang Hong’s uncle, and Lu Zheng was her cousin.
Jiang Hong helped Lu Suan because she was used to listening to Lu Suan since she was a child. Lu Suan was the daughter of Duke Zhenguo and the biological granddaughter of Prime Minister Lin. His aunt was imperial concubine Lin. Back then, all the children of the Jiang family fawned over Lu Suan, and Lu Suan was only good friends with Jiang Hong.
Originally, after the Lin family collapsed, the Jiang family had deliberately asked Jiang Hong to have less contact with Lu ni. Otherwise, she would become an old daughter and would not be able to find her in-laws.
However, the two of them were like-minded, so they would still meet from time to time.
After meeting Lu Zheng, for the first time, Jiang Hong had the intention to draw a clear line with Lu Yang, and Lu Yang saw through her.
Lu Yang thought of a way to get Jiang Hong back.
Lu Suan told Jiang Hong that as long as she helped her become a concubine, she would be able to achieve the position of her aunt. Then, she would help Jiang Hong marry into the Lu family.
Jiang Hong believed him. That was why she took the risk to help Lu Yang.
Who knew that this would happen this morning?
Her servant was killed and their good friend was seen by Gu Xin holding a weapon.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they didn’t understand the situation and didn’t see the scene, Jiang Hong and Lu Xin would have plotted to make people think that Gu Xin was the murderer.
However, they could never admit that they had made an appointment with li Yuyan to meet here. If Constable Gao were to ask them why they had agreed to meet here, wouldn’t he be able to find out their true purpose?
Hence, the two of them denied meeting li Yuyan.
Not long after, the bailiff sent out by Constable Gao returned with a man dressed as a waiter. Judging from his appearance, he was even carrying a bundle on his back. He was definitely planning to escape.
“Ah Wang, did you come to the teahouse this morning?” Constable Gao began his interrogation.
“I’ve been here before, and I’m taking over. Since you’re here, I’ll go back.” After walking for a while, ah Wang calmed down.
“After Miss Li entered the private room and until Princess Xinxin appeared in the private room, where were you? Is there anyone who can prove it?” Constable Gao asked.
“I’m in the outhouse. I don’t know if there’s anyone to prove it.” Ah Wang answered.
Gu Xin sized up ah Wang. Although he tried his best to calm himself down, she could still tell that he was very nervous.
She looked at ah Wang’s shoes again. It was a new pair of shoes. The size of the footprints was different from the ones on the window at the scene. At first glance, ah Wang’s shoes were shorter than the footprints at the scene.
“Then, do you recognize the deceased? The servant girl of the Jiang Manor, Xiao Cui?” Constable Gao asked again.
“No, I don’t.” Ah Wang stuttered.
“Someone said that you said that you knew the maidservants of the Jiang residence, your fellow townsmen, and that you had the opportunity to work in the Jiang residence. You even made an appointment with your fellow townsmen to work well together, and then the main family agreed to the marriage. May I ask, who is the maidservant you are referring to? Since miss Jiang is here, we’ll ask her to call him over.” Constable Gao asked again.
“I, oh, no, I’m just bragging. I don’t know the maidservants of the Jiang Manor. I was just bragging. Because the Jiang residence is good, this lowly one wants to be envied by others.” Ah Wang said in fear.
“Oh! I recognize you. You’re lying!” Jiang Hong exclaimed after staring at ah Wang for a long time.
