Chapter 315: Ginger is still spicier when old
Soon, Zheng Yan'er was escorted to the prison by the bailiffs.
Dong Kaijian was extremely anxious and wanted to plead with Jiang Suining and the others again, but was stopped by Jiang Suining.
"Boss Dong, you have to give us some time to think about it. It's really annoying to rush us like this."
Dong Kaijian was very worried and didn't dare to say anything more. He just kept assuring that any conditions could be negotiated.
Because the bailiffs did not cover up anything when they took Zheng Yan'er and those ruffians back to the imperial city, the news had already spread.
When Jiang Suining and Zheng walked out of the yamen, they happened to meet Jiang Mushi and Jiang Zhitong who were rushing over.
"Madam, Suining, are you all right?"
"Sister, are you hurt?"
"Don't worry, we're fine." Zheng said with a smile.
Jiang Suining looked back at the government office and said, "Father, Mother, let's leave first."
Several people got on the carriage and left the yamen.
On the way, Zheng told Jiang Mushi and Jiang Zhitong the whole story.
When Jiang Mushi and Jiang Zhitong heard that Zheng Yan'er actually hired someone to commit the crime and wanted to put the blame on the Zheng family, they were extremely angry!
"That Zheng Yan'er is really heartless. I've already spared him once before, but not only does she not repent, she also set up such a vicious plan." Jiang Zhitong frowned, with clear disgust in his eyes.
Jiang Mushi was naturally very annoyed.
After being annoyed, he looked at Jiang Suining curiously again.
"So, sister, you and mother have been in collusion since the beginning, right?"
"No." Jiang Suining shook his head. "I didn't know about my mother's plan until she came back from Heyun Tower yesterday."
"Then why weren't you angry before?" Jiang Mushi wondered, "I thought you weren't angry when Zheng Yan'er came to visit and when your mother forgave her because you already knew about it."
Jiang Suining looked at Zheng, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other.
"Although my mother didn't say anything at that time, I guessed a little bit. I knew that my mother would not be so soft-hearted and forgive Zheng Yan'er so easily."
Zheng was not a confused person, and what Zheng Yan'er had done before must have completely broken her heart, so she believed that Zheng had other plans.
Zheng held Jiang Suining's hand and said with great satisfaction: "Suining, you understand me well. Unlike this brat, in his heart, I am a stupid mother."
As she spoke, Zheng glared at Jiang Mushi.
The latter touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.
"That's because you're such a great actress. I really thought you couldn't let go of your blood relationship with Zheng Yan'er and softened your heart. I didn't expect it to be fake. It turns out that the old ones are the best!"
"Who are you calling old?" Zheng raised her hand and slapped Jiang Mushi on the arm. "You little bastard, I am using your own tactics against you!"
"Okay, let's use the same trick against them. Mom is the best!" Jiang Mushi covered his arm with a flattering look.
Jiang Zhitong looked at the situation with a smile on his face.
"Madam is really amazing. If she didn't take action, it would be fine. But once she did, she sent the man directly to jail. Now we don't have to worry about Zheng Yan'er causing trouble."
"Yes, this is a great thing, we should celebrate it!" Jiang Mushi also spoke immediately.
The smile on Zheng's face faded a little, and she did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Jiang Suining, who had also not expressed his opinion.
"Sui Ning, you mentioned to Lord Hu today that you need to think about it before making a decision. Are you worried about something?"
Sui Ning is not a hesitant person, and Zheng Yan'er has been planning this over and over again. If he didn't have any concerns, Sui Ning would not have made this request.
Jiang Suining nodded, "Zheng Yan'er is nothing to be afraid of, but just now in the court, I saw that Dong Kaijian seemed to be quite affectionate towards her. I haven't thoroughly investigated Dong Kaijian's background, so I want to delay for a while."
Dong Kaijian knelt down for Zheng Yan'er and begged for their forgiveness. Even if he wanted to act like he was deeply in love, he might not be able to do this.
Moreover, from the look on Dong Kaijian's face just now, her affection did not seem fake. If she really insisted on demanding severe punishment for Zheng Yan'er in court, it might not help but cause Dong Kaijian to bear a grudge against her.
Preparations for Zhanxinglou have been almost complete, and she doesn't want anything to go wrong during the period before the opening.
Zheng nodded in agreement. "Sui Ning, you've thought it through. Anyway, whatever you want to do is fine. Just one thing, whether it's sending Zheng Yan'er to jail or using this as an excuse to make any other demands, you don't have to care about my opinion. The relationship between Zheng Yan'er and me as aunt and niece is completely severed."
Zheng's eyes were clear, without any hesitation or heartache on her face. It was obvious that the decision was made quickly and decisively.
Jiang Suining looked at Zheng's expression, nodded and smiled.
"Okay, mother, I feel relieved now that you said so."
……
Although she was detained temporarily, Zheng Yan'er was irritated by the smell inside the prison as soon as she entered it. She clamored to be moved to another cell, but the jailers naturally ignored her.
Seeing that she was shouting louder and louder, he whipped the cell door with a whip, scaring Zheng Yan'er so much that she dared not speak again.
She could only keep staring at the prison door, blaming Dong Kaijian in her heart for not showing up yet.
Dong Kaijian, who was outside the cell, was very anxious. He wanted to use money to go in to visit the prisoner, but he was told that the prisoner had just been imprisoned and some procedures had not been completed, so he needed to wait.
It was not until the evening that Dong Kaijian was allowed to enter.
The light in the cell was dim, and in addition to the stench of decay, the air seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood.
Zheng Yan'er, who was tired of looking, was now curled up nervously against the wall.
She didn't know the visiting rules and thought Dong Kaijian didn't want to see her.
At first I cursed in my heart, but then it turned into panic.
She couldn't help but wonder, what would she do if Dong Kaijian really didn't care about her?
"Yan'er!"
The moment Dong Kaijian's voice sounded outside the cell, Zheng Yan'er seemed to come back to her senses suddenly. She looked up quickly, and when she saw that it was really Dong Kaijian, she almost rushed to the cell door.
"Why did you come just now? What did Jiang Suining say? What do you want me to do to get out? I can't stand it anymore!"
"Yan'er, calm down, I..."
"I can't calm down. If you hadn't stayed in this prison, you wouldn't have known what it feels like!"
Zheng Yan'er interrupted Dong Kaijian angrily. Meeting his helpless gaze, her heart trembled. Now Dong Kaijian was her only life-saving straw and she must not lose him.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yan'er grabbed Dong Kaijian's sleeve.
"Husband, I know I shouldn't lose my temper with you, but I'm really scared. You won't blame me, right?"
