The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 24: The Evil Plan Appears Again

Jing Wei said softly, "I'll take care of grandma. Mother, don't worry." If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor in her voice.

The old lady glanced at Jing Wei, turned her head and smiled, "I didn't drink much tonight, don't bother with an old woman like me. Just have Jing Wei take care of you. Besides, if we share a carriage, it might be a bit crowded."

Jing Yi smiled and leaned against the old lady, "Old lady, your carriage is so big, how can it be crowded for four people? Besides, my sister is young after all, and mother is worried about the old lady."

Although Gu Shi didn't understand why Jing Yi said that, she nodded in agreement with her words.

Su Wei listened to her and advised, "Mother did drink a lot tonight. You should listen to Madam and ride in a carriage together. She can take care of you on the way."

When the old lady wanted to say something else, Jingyi got on the carriage first, half-crouched on it, and said to Su Wei, "Father, it's too dark. Please help the old lady."

Su Wei nodded, gently helped the old lady to sit on the stool, got on the carriage, and then Jingyi helped her sit in the canopy.

After several people sat down, Jingyi said to the driver, "Drive steadily on the road, don't bump the old lady."

Jingyi sat opposite Jingwei and looked at her with a smile. Jingwei lowered her head, her face was a little yellow, and her eyes looked around, but she didn't dare to look at Jingyi's eyes.

Jingyi chuckled, "What's wrong with sister? Did you drink too much sour plum sweat? Is your stomach a little uncomfortable?"

"No, no." Jingwei waved her hand.

Seeing Su Jingwei so flustered, the old lady glared at her angrily, "What a loser! What are you flustered about?"

Jingwei was aware of the old lady's look, and dared not move any more, just sitting there quietly, like a stone statue.

All along the way, it was peaceful.

Everyone went back to the yard. After Jingyi washed up, she changed into her middle clothes and dismissed everyone. She picked up a medical book and leaned on the couch outside to read it carefully.

About an hour later, two black figures flew into the room. Jingyi raised her head and asked solemnly, "Is everything done?"

Si Mo bowed and said, "Miss, as expected, the driver surnamed Niu was led out not long after he returned to the house. Later, he was knocked unconscious and thrown into the pond in the mansion. Those people later threw an old shoe by the pond to make it look like Niu accidentally slipped into the pond!"

Jingyi nodded, "Well, is that man dead?"

Si Qin stepped forward and said, "No, he was rescued by us. Moreover, we found a silver note of one thousand taels in his house!"

Jingyi heard this, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Unexpectedly, they attacked her and her mother again so soon. They are really impatient!

Jingyi turned to look at Siqin, "Where did you put that man?"

"Miss, I sent him to the master's house in the west of the city. Don't worry, he will be fine unless you say anything." After saying that, Simo took out a banknote and a piece of paper with handwriting from his sleeve.

Jingyi took it and looked at it carefully, raised her head, and smiled softly, as if she was a lotus blooming at night, beautiful and elegant! Simo and Siqin were shocked when they saw it. The young lady was so beautiful at such a young age. If she lived a few years, how beautiful she would be!

"Have you dealt with everything? Will there be any traces?"

"Don't worry, Miss. After we two sisters settled him, we also found a corpse of similar size from the mass grave outside the city and changed it into the driver's clothes. No one will say anything."

Jingyi nodded, but was secretly surprised. These two people didn't seem to be doing this for the first time at such a young age. Yuanxi really found two treasures for her.

Jingyi handed the things to Si Mo again, "Keep them well, maybe you will need them one day. You are tired, go and rest."

After hearing this, the two of them bowed and flew away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night.

Jingyi walked to the window and thought about everything that happened today. She couldn't help but feel a little scared. If it weren't for her two sisters hiding in the dark and seeing the actions of those people, I'm afraid that she and her mother would be separated from their heads today. These people have such vicious minds!

If she hadn't contacted Si Mo by taking the opportunity to say goodbye to Miss Cui, what would the consequences be? Jingyi thought of this and didn't dare to think about it anymore. That person bribed their driver and planned to turn the car to another intersection at high speed when they were halfway through the journey. There were already assassins ambushed there, waiting for her and her mother to go there and become dead souls under the knife!

Jingyi sighed lightly, and a trace of sadness and confusion appeared on her little face. Who is it? If the other party is just for the position of mistress, why would he attack her? But if it's not for the position of mistress, she and her mother are just women and children. What else is worth the other party's repeated and ruthless actions?

Jingyi turned her head to look at the exquisite decoration in the house, the precious ornaments, and the dazzling array of jewelry on the dressing table, and shook her head lightly. It's just a small mansion, and it's still like this. It can be seen how difficult Yuanxi's life will be!

Two days later, Jingyi accompanied her mother for breakfast, and then the news came from the outer courtyard that the driver surnamed Niu fell into the water.

Gu heard it and asked, "Has the driver's body been salvaged?"

"Yes, it has been soaked in the water for two days, and the body has been somewhat rotten."

Gu frowned: "Why did it soak for two days? When did he fall into the water? Did no one in the mansion know that he was in trouble?"

The servant bowed his head and said, "Madam, because the mansion did not use the carriage in the past two days, no one thought of looking for him. In addition, this person is a loner and does not like to interact with others. He lives in a side room in the servants' room, so no one noticed that he was missing."

Jingyi glanced at Gu and said, "Mother, since the person is gone, we still have to find a way to comfort his family."

Gu nodded, with a gloomy face, and ordered Liu Ma to send a hundred taels of silver to his family.

Jingyi talked to Gu for a while, then got up and went back to her own courtyard. As soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate and turned right, she heard a clear and beautiful voice: "Second Miss, have you just greeted Madam?" Jingyi turned around and smiled, "It turned out to be Aunt Bai! I wonder why Aunt Bai came to see mother?"
