Chapter 355 Let's go to see Zheng Yan'er off
Xier had been following Jiang Suining, and now looking at Biyun who was keeping things a secret, she urged him curiously.
"Sister Biyun, please tell me what Zheng Yan'er did."
"Not only did she tear up the divorce letter, but she also publicly stated that whether Dong Kaijian was willing or not, she would accompany him into exile!"
Xi'er was stunned. "Zheng Yan'er pleaded guilty?"
"No, the case has been closed. Dong Kaijian has been convicted and has been beaten with a stick. He will be exiled tomorrow."
"Then why does Zheng Yan'er go into exile with me?" Xi'er was puzzled.
"I heard that Zheng Yan'er sold all her clothes and jewelry and used money to get permission to follow the exile team." Biyun said with emotion, "I thought Zheng Yan'er would take the remaining money and run as far as she could. I didn't expect that she would do such a thing."
"She can't be lying, is she trying to play some tricks again?" Xier asked subconsciously.
"Probably not. Even if she didn't go into exile with Dong Kaijian, she would be driven out of the imperial city and wouldn't be able to do anything."
Xier listened to Biyun's words, thought about it and felt that it made sense. She then remembered what Jiang Suining and Zheng Yan'er had said at the yamen gate before, and couldn't help but say.
"It's only natural to choose her this way. After all, Dong Kaijian really treats her well with all his heart. But it's a bit surprising that Zheng Yan'er can do this."
"Who says it's not true? After all, when Zheng Yan'er was still my cousin, she was a complete ungrateful person." Biyun agreed. After she finished speaking, she saw that her young lady didn't look surprised at all, so she asked, "Miss, have you guessed it a long time ago?"
"No, I'm not the worm in her stomach. How would I know what decision Zheng Yan'er will make?" Jiang Suining smiled and shook his head.
Xier immediately said, "Miss, please don't be so modest. If you can't guess what Zheng Yan'er will do, how can you possibly catch her in the act outside of Zhanxing Tower?"
"I was the one who induced Zheng Yan'er to offend Qin from the beginning. As for my later belief that Zheng Yan'er would take revenge, it was just speculation based on the situation at the time."
It was indeed beyond her expectations that Zheng Yan'er would choose to go into exile with Dong Kaijian.
After all, since the arson incident, no matter what choice Zheng Yan'er made next, she was sure that the other party would no longer be able to influence her, so she didn't have to bother guessing anything.
Jiang Suining asked Biyun, "When will the exiles leave the city tomorrow?"
"I don't know about this, Miss. Do you need someone to inquire about it?"
Jiang Suining nodded, "Tomorrow, we will go and see Zheng Yan'er off."
The next day.
Although it is still early in the morning, it can be seen that today will be a rare sunny day.
The Jiang family's carriage stopped outside the city. Xier and Biyun saw the officials escorting Dong Kaijian out of the city, and Zheng Yan'er following behind them, so they stepped forward and paid the money.
This time of exile out of the city and farewell to relatives and friends was a good time to make money. The escorting officers originally thought that no one would come, but when they saw the silver Xier handed over, they immediately showed joy on their faces, stopped happily, and gave time to talk.
Zheng Yan'er was wearing only a plain dress and a simple silver hairpin in her hair. She hesitated for a moment when she saw Jiang Suining, but walked towards her after a moment.
"Are you here to see my joke?"
"You can think so." Jiang Suining looked past Zheng Yan'er and glanced in the direction of Dong Kaijian before saying to Zheng Yan'er, "Have you really thought it through?"
Zheng Yan'er smiled bitterly, "Yes, I'm tired after all this trouble. I finally met someone who is truly kind to me, but I made him into this state. Now I really don't want to fight with you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and continued.
"But there's no point in talking about this now. After all, I can't even return to this imperial city. Jiang Suining, I lose."
After fighting for so long, she was defeated miserably. Now she has nothing to hold on to, and only Dong Kaijian is left.
She really didn't have the courage to admit that she was the mastermind behind the arson, but when she saw Dong Kaijian's divorce letter, she suddenly realized that he was the person she least wanted to lose.
Fortunately, it was only three years of exile, not a lifetime. She had already asked, and she would be free after her sentence was completed. She wanted to stay with Dong Kaijian as an apology to him.
Jiang Suining looked at Zheng Yan'er. The person in front of him no longer had the jealousy and calculations from before, and instead showed a look of relief mixed with bitterness.
"Where's Dong Kaijian? Is he willing to let you follow him?"
"Of course I don't want to, but he can't beat me. Anyway, he has been tolerant and accommodating to me so many times. Now let me do it one more time." Zheng Yan'er's eyes were red, and the bitterness was even stronger.
In fact, she didn't know whether she could persist in this road of exile, but at this moment, she really wanted to stay with Dong Kaijian.
Jiang Suining understood Zheng Yaner's unspoken thoughts and turned his head to signal Xier.
Xier understood, took out a package from the carriage and handed it to Zheng Yaner.
"What is this?" Zheng Yan'er opened the package suspiciously and found a wooden box inside. Inside the box were some small change and banknotes, as well as a piece of cut jade.
"This is the jade Buddha statue that you had someone send to the Jiang family."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yan'er looked at the jade carefully and found that there were indeed cracks on it.
She looked up at Jiang Suining and said, "Didn't you say you had already sold it?"
Jiang Suining chuckled, "I just said it casually at the time. Yesterday, I had someone cut up this Buddha statue and sell it. However, the cracks inside are quite deep, so there aren't many intact pieces that can be taken out. All the money from the sale is here. Part of it has been exchanged for loose change, which should be useful to you on your journey."
Zheng Yan'er looked at Jiang Suining with mixed feelings, "I did so many things before, don't you hate me?"
She never expected that Jiang would actually come to give her money.
Jiang Suining shook his head. "If I really hated you, it would mean that I really suffered at your hands and regarded you as an enemy. But from the first time we met until now, none of your calculations have succeeded. You have only been playing tricks on yourself. Why should I hate you?"
Zheng Yan'er's face turned pale, but at this moment, she had to admit that all her calculations not only failed to hurt Jiang Suining, but also backfired on her.
"But even so, there shouldn't be any affection between the two of us."
Zheng Yan'er held the package in her hand, feeling confused and complicated.
"Jiang Suining, are you really that kind?"
